“Sebastian Ashford” Bash introduces himself.
I watch as he and Lucas size each other up. I can’t help but wonder if this is a male thing. Dominant Alpha males.
“Lucas Viril” he responds, shaking Sebastian’s hands.
Even from where I am I can see that the hand shake is strong. With each one of them trying to squash each other's hands. Lucas gives Sebastian a look not knowing that he is not someone to be intimidated.
“I’ve heard about not only from Micah and Lilly, but from other Alphas and the werewolf council as well” Lucas finally admits and lets go of his hand.
Sebastian nods, not saying anything. He is back to being the cool, calm, unemotional man he is in front of people. All playfulness gone.
His arms wrap wound me and he brings me close. Showing Lucas that I wasn’t alone and that we were a united front. I liked this a lot because it proved despite our mating being a contract, he still had my back.
“Let’s go inside, you missed breakfast and I am sure both of you are hungry”
He turns around and starts walking. We follow behind him. Sebastian’s hand was now holding mine. The action calmed, pushing back panic.
Unlike yesterday, today there were people walking around. I don’t know if it’s just now they’ve come out or I just didn’t notice them when I ran from the house. Anyway now I did notice them and they were staring, which made me feel like I was under a microscope.
Thankfully we reached the house quickly. To my disappointment none of them had left. They were now seated in the living room.
“Dad” Jax shouts when he sees his father. He rushes to him.
Sebastian lets go of my hands and squats down to hug him.
“Hey buddy” he whispers.
I notice Krystal on the side unsure. She didn’t know whether to come and hug him like Jax did. Or stay where she is. My heart hurts for her because I know she wants to do what Jax did.
Sebastian surprises me when he lets go of Jax and turns to Krystal.
“Aren’t you going to give me a hug sweetheart?” he asks her.
A smile breaks through her face and she runs to him. He captures her in his arms and hugs her.
“I wasn’t sure if I could” she tells him lowly.
“I will always want a hug from my daughter” he kisses her temple before setting her down.
She smiles brightly at him. “Then, I will give you a hug everyday”
My heart swells at their interaction. I feel my eyes filling up but I push back the tears. I love that he included her and claimed her. Maybe this was a sign that things were going in the right direction.
I look at Jax. I wanted to gauge his reaction. He is smiling at the interaction between Krystal and his father. Though I shouldn’t even be surprised given they’ve already claimed each other as siblings.
“Hey, Alpha” Lilly greets.
I hadn’t even noticed that she had come to us. Just like me she looked haggard and emotionally drained. I still can’t believe that she might be my sister slash cousin. Thinking about it, it wouldn’t be that bad though. Our weird parentage aside, Lilly and I had a good relationship and we share a special bond.
“Good to see you Lilly, I was able to pull Micah from the pack business I sent him on. He will be here tomorrow” he tells her formally.
“Thank you Alpha” she murmurs, tears swimming in her eyes.
It’s then that I realize how hard this is also for her. She was holding on and the fact that tears sprang at the mention of her Micah meant that just like me she needed her mate’s support and so will Claire.
“Good morning Alpha, I’m Valery Lilly’s mom…I believe both of you haven’t had breakfast yet”
The woman was sweet and I couldn’t help but like her more. I know that most of the others wanted to dive in at the issue at hand, but Valery was considerate.
“Nice to meet you Valery, and yes, breakfast will be appreciated” Sebastian responds politely.
Standing with me was the renowned Alpha Sebastian. The man he was on the beach was tucked away. I didn’t mind at all because deep inside I loved the fact that that man only came out around me or the children.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren)
I don't think the the plot for krystals book is something I would like to dark. I would had thought Krystal and something with Jax would have been a better plot....
Finally I'm fucking done author please research heavy topics extensively before writing about them again. When you don’t you often end up victim blaming alot...
I don't even feel sad about Raya fuck her there’s allot of things that trauma is responsible for and letting the people you love die while you enjoy watching isn’t fucking one of them like the authors writing when it comes to these topics are fucking piss fucking put like the victim blaming the dismissal of valid feelings the excuses for the people who hurt her like eww don’t ever touch on subjects like these until you’ve done the appropriate extensive research on these topics. Then ill read your works that touch on these subjects again. The only reason I’m still here is cause ive already started the story....
I knew the goddamn therapist was a fucking weirdo...
Again the therapist is incorrectly saying what’s going on. If Raya took the empirical trauma it’d be Raya that she’d be talking to. Mayra took the emotional AND physical trauma of what’s going on and both Raya and Mayra are experiencing shared mental effects of that trauma with Raya experiencing the effects on the more angered and blaming side. None of this makes Mayra a terrible companion it actually makes Raya a terrible companion if you want to place blame....
Bruh can’t she just get the moon goddess to like give her a new wolf or remove her from the one she got ? She gone be human either fucking way with the way that bitch of a wolf be acting...
The therapist is fixing weird like she was doing so good till she fucking invalidated Mayra’s feelings towards her baby that was forced upon her by her realist that popped up before she was even done healing like what ? Its normal for victims to feel that way towards a rapper baby and what the therapist should have fucking said was yeah Mayra it’s normal to feel that way you’re still haunted by your rapport and haven’t yet healed and it doesn’t help that your daughter looks like him once healed you could make a decision on whether you want to be in her life as her mother or give her up for adoption it’s all up to you but for now you need to focus on healing before attempting to mother a child who looks like your rapist. In the meantime have your child stay with a trusted person so that you can heal and make the correct decision for yourself as a healed woman. But no the therapist says try loving her and being a mother to your rapists child right now even if you haven’t healed yet. Like huh ? You’re fucking weird and the author is weird for this as well. Maybe before writing about a touchy subject please do more research In terms of how to go about the aftermath of trauma and healing because this invalidated a lot of rape victims who hated their children before healing and coming to love and care for them without blame....
We’ll do e. I enjoyed every moment....
Danke :)...
The Mayra and Darren story, the ending…it’s like the book isn’t finished. And the typo on the vows need to be fixed, like it’s a copy and paste. They’re were errors, but it wasn’t a bad series. I truly loved Ren and Bash. Now, what about Krystal, the new Oracle....
