I breathe in but the air gets stuck. I shouldn’t be surprised but for some reason I was. I hold on to Sebastian. Leaning on his strength. Everything else around me fades.
Lucas was my father, my mom was dead and I would never meet her and my step mom was also my aunt. I shut everything out. Needing to focus, needing to keep myself grounded.
“Blue? You okay?” I ask her, wanting to make sure she was fine.
“Yeah, I mean things could have been worse right? We could have gotten an asshole for a dad, an evil step mother and bratty siblings who think the world revolves around then, but we got it good instead.” she responds.
She isn’t panicking. She isn’t sad. She is calm and at peace. Something that I envy her for.
“So you’re okay with everything?”
“Yep. Now that the results are finally out my anxiety is gone and instead I am at peace with the facts”
I let her words sink in. Let her calmness sip into me. She was right. The truth that we felt deep down was now confirmed and maybe instead of running from it, I should finally embrace it.
I look up when Lucas calls me.
“Please say something” he pleads worriedly.
I study him and just like Lilly, I realize that he is afraid. Afraid that I was going to reject him. He was my father so how could I?
His face falls when I don’t say anything and he casts his eyes down.
I wasn’t sure about what I was doing but I leave Sebastian’s side. I cross the distance to where he is and wrap my hands around him.
I hear him inhale deeply then he hugs me back.
His whole body trembled. I know he is crying and this brings tears to my eyes. I had a father and siblings. That thought settles deep inside me and I feel something shift.
I let him go and stare at him, smiling. I didn’t know him that well but love washes over me.
“It’s nice to officially meet you…dad” I add the last part.
I wasn’t going to waste time. Already so much time has passed and we never know when our time will be up. It would be pointless holding out on him and dragging things when I could have a good relationship with him.
A big teary smile replaces the sad look that was there a few minutes.
“You’re finally home my love…I’ve missed you so much” he murmured, kissing my forehead, his voice full of emotion.
Valery steps next to us and I turn to her. She’s fighting back her tears and emotions. She also hugs me before pecking my cheek.
“Welcome back Lauren” she says smiling.
I smile back at her. “Thank you”
Hearing a squeal, I am tackled from the back and I almost fall forward.
“We are sisters” She cheered
I laugh, “And cousins”
“That too, It’s weird but people are gonna have to accept that” she lets go of me before stepping aside.
I hear a door bang and when we look up we realize that Luke stormed out. I guess he wasn’t as happy as the rest.
“Give him time to adjust” Valery excuses his behavior.
I shrug my shoulders in indifference. I wasn’t going to wallow in misery just because he didn’t accept me as his older sister. It was his choice and I wasn’t going to lose sleep over it.
“We need to get back to what we were doing, so I’ll see you ladies later” Lucas says.
Sebastian walks towards me and kisses me before pulling away.
“I’m so fucking proud of how you handled the news” he praised, his eyes sparkling with pride.
I smile in response. Feeling good.
“See you at Lunch Red” he was about to follow Lucas when I stopped him.
“By the way, I’ll be picking Claire, Brent and Mase from the airport” I inform him.
“Do you want me taking you?”
“No… It’ll be a good time to fill Claire in and have some time with her before she meets everybody.”
“Just be careful” he pleads, giving me one last kiss.
“I will”
He and Lucas then leave.
I know he is worried because I still have a target on my back but I doubt they would come for me all the way here.

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....
