The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 104

I watch as Sebastian stands up and leaves our table. His eyes on Mayra and the man. They had not noticed us yet. Sebastian goes to them and taps Mayra’s shoulders. She turns around.

At first she was frowning but she saw who it was and that frown turned into a big smile. She lets go of the man’s hand and hugs Sebastian.

Seeing all that I needed to see I pull my gaze away from them. It’s like the moment he noticed her he forgot about me. He may say that I am the one he wants but he will always be pulled towards her. Just like Darren was pulled towards Miranda.

The good thing is that we hadn’t ordered. It would have been a shame to waste the food. I take a deep breath and compose myself. Then I pick up my purse and stand up. I wasn’t about to waste another second here. If Sebastian wanted he could join her for dinner for all I cared.

Turning from the table, I bump into someone. I was about to fall but he catches me. I catch a whiff of his scent and I know it’s Sebastian.

“Careful” he says, steading me.

“Thanks” I give him a polite smile as a hand offers me my purse, which I’m guessing had fallen down.

I follow the outstretched arm to find Mayra and the man standing behind Sebastian.

“Thank you” I tell him and take my purse from him.

Was anyone else feeling awkward or was it just me?

I just wanted to leave. Get home and eat a bucket of ice cream while having a pity party. It would have been wine, but we know I can’t. Then cry my eyes out to a sad movie. Sleep and then wake up the next day stronger.

Sebastian’s eyes search mine but I avert them. I didn’t want him bearing witness to my pain.

“I know this has been a long time coming, Mayra so I want you to officially meet my mate, Lauren” he says, circling my waist and bringing me close to him.

I expected to see some type of negative emotion in her eyes but there is none. Her eyes lighten up, looking at me. And she looks at me like I have hung the moon.

Before any of us can do anything, she throws herself at me, almost making both of us fall.

I’m in shock.

“Oh goddess, I finally met you…Thank you so much. You have no idea the extent of what you did for me. I’ll forever be grateful” she sobs

This entire thing brings tears to my eyes. Cursed pregnancy hormones.

I hug her back. Remembering what she went through. And accepting that none of the things that happened after is her fault or that of Sebastian. No one was to blame and no one saw it coming.

We release each other after a while.

“Hey Mayra” I tell her softly with a smile.

I couldn't hate her nor could I hate Sebastian. Unlike with the case of Darren and Miranda, Mayra was actually a good person.

I wouldn’t blame Sebastian if he fell for her, but I’d rather he not lead me on if he thinks that there is any chance of them getting together in future.

“Hey Lauren…Despite wanting to just stay here with you and talk, that wouldn’t be ideal because you’re on a date, so can we meet up?” she says the last part slowly. As if she was afraid that I would turn her down.

I smile at her. “I would love that…do you have a phone, we can exchange numbers and you can tell me when and where you want us to talk”

Her entire face glows when I accept her invite and it’s amazing looking at her. The goddess really did choose the perfect woman for Sebastian. She was a darling and what she went through hasn't taken that from her.
