The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 91
I collapse on the bed completely tired.
“You okay?” Sebastian asks, bending to kiss my cheek.
We arrived an hour ago. We had to leave really early because Sebastian had a meeting with some of the Alphas at nine in the morning. So we left the East coast side pack before dawn.
The kids were sleepy so I had to tuck them in and make sure they were settled before I could also sleep.
“Just a bit worn out” I tell him. “Maybe a little sleep will fix it”
He looks at me worried. It’s no secret that I haven’t been sleeping well. The nightmares have gotten worse.
Thrice now I have woken with wounds that manifested from my dreams. It’s getting hard to fall asleep because I am always afraid that I will wake up from a nightmare.
Sebastian has tried everything. The sex is good and it tires me out but I only get an hour or two of peaceful sleep before I am up again from another nightmare.
“Maybe we should look into getting you help” Bash begins. His brows furrowed. “I don’t like the fucking fact that my mate keeps waking up drenched in her own sweat and completely fucking terrified. I hate it more that you’re not getting enough sleep and you’re always tired every fucking time”
I feel his frustrations and his fear for me. It touches that small part of my heart that I thought I had closed off.
Every day I feel the walls I build around my heart breaking. I feel something potent for him. Something I am afraid of naming or even acknowledging.
I stand up from the bed and stand in front of him. Wrapping my hands around his shoulders. I draw his head down for a kiss.
“I’ll be okay, don’t worry…Maybe this has something to do with what Sylvia told me” I mumble against his lips.
He sighs. He also doesn’t look convinced.
“I’m in need of a shower… Do you mind joining me?” I ask him. Changing the topic.
He looks at me skeptically but joins me nonetheless.
Almost an hour later, I am clean, completely satisfied and sleepy. I watch with half closed eyes as Sebastian gets ready. He doesn’t take long and soon he is done. He gives me one of his scorching kisses before leaving, after which I fall asleep immediately.
*********************
“Lauren, wake up…you have a visitor” I hear a distant voice call me.
I decide to ignore it and go back to sleep. I was getting comfortable when someone shakes me. I groan in irritation. I just wanted to fucking sleep. Was that too hard to understand?
“Luna, wake up” the voice insists.
“Please just go away…Let me sleep”
I hear a sigh. “But you have a visitor Lauren, he refuse to go until he talks to you”
That captures my attention. I wondered who he was.
Waking up, I find Monica seated on the bed next to me. I push the hair out of my hair before speaking.
“Who is he and what does he want?” I ask getting out of bed.
I change from my night dress and into a tank and sweats as Monica fills me in.
“It’s Darren…I don’t know what he wants because he refused to tell me. He just said he wasn’t leaving until he speaks to you. He’s down stairs with Krystal and Jax.”
Hmm. Why would Darren be here? And why did the guards allow him in. I swear if I was woken up just for him to cause me trouble I was going to end him.
“The kids are already up? Why didn’t you wake me up” I check my phone and realize it’s almost one oclock.
“Alpha Sebastian left instructions that no one should disturb you and that we should let you sleep” she replied.
I smile at that because it was just so sweet of him. His care sometimes still blows my mind.
“Okay then…I’ll go see what he wants”
Leaving the room, I get downstairs in seconds.
Darren was on the floor playing with Krystal and Jax like they were little kids. They all had smiles on their faces and I just had to pause to take in the picture.
He looked better than he did last time I saw him. He seemed healthy and sober. There were no more dark shadows under his eyes. He also looked well-kept instead of the shabbily dressed person I was used to.
He stands up and our eyes connect. He gives me a small smile. It’s at that time. Looking at him. At the man I remembered, I realize I no longer love him.
I try looking for the love I had buried. The one that had been drowned in pain betrayal, but it isn’t there. The shocking revelation makes me stumble back as if I have been hit.

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....
