The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 22

Darren stares at me like he can’t believe what I just said.

“Are you sure?” he asks after a while, still staring at me in uncertainty.

I chuckle at how adorable he looks. Right now he doesn’t look like the big bad Alpha.

“Yes, I’m sure” I say. “I thought about what you said and you’re right. This is the best way to make sure that I am safe. Besides, I now have Iris. Her safety comes first”

He takes my hands and leads me to my bed where we take a seat. He has a small frown and he’s quiet for a while. I was afraid that he was reconsidering his decision.

“This is a big step you’ll be taking Mayra” he mumbles after a while.

“I know and like I said I’m okay with it. You’re the one I should be asking if you’re okay with it or did you just make the offer in the heat of the moment? Are you sure you want to do this?

I tap my foot nervously. I didn’t think about it but now that the words are out, I’m afraid that he might have made the proposal without thinking things through and now he was regretting it and was wondering how he could take it back.

“I’m surer than anything in my life right now” he finally replies.

I breathe a sigh of relief. I don’t know what I would have done if he had taken back the offer.

“So how will this work?” I ask him.

“You’ll naturally move to my pack with me. You’ll obviously be my mate and Luna. We can perform the mating ceremony later on”

I stare at him a bit shocked at his confidence “You’re awfully sure that we will have a mating ceremony”

“That’s because once you’re mine, I’m not planning on letting you go…so I need you to be sure that this is what you want Mayra” he looks at me seriously.

Was I sure this is what I wanted? Could I be his in every way that counts? Being with him as my mate meant that I would have the Luna’s responsibilities on my shoulder. Could I accept that? Am I okay with that?

I wasn’t sure of the answers to those questions but I was sure of one thing, I wanted to explore the connection between us. Maybe Alice was right and by taking this risk, I would find my happily ever after with him.

“Yes I’m sure” I reply strongly.

“Good” he says right before he seals my mouth with his.

I feel like it's been decades since he kissed me. His tongue tangles with mine. His taste addictive.

Wanting more, I get off from the bed, without breaking the kiss and straddle him. I rub myself against him as I feel him getting hard. The friction of our jeans against my pussy spreads delicious tingles throughout my body.

Breaking the kiss I stare into his obsidian eyes as I move my hair off my shoulder and tilt my head. Giving him space to mark him.

“No” he says standing up.

He places me on the floor before grasping my hand. He starts walking, leading me to the door.

“Where are we going?” I ask, firmly planting my feet on the ground. Making him stop.

“Home.” He answers. “I’m not going to mark you here because I plan to be buried balls deep inside you while me and Kai mark you as ours”

I swallow at the image he painted just as I feel a rush of liquid wetting my panties.

“We have a perfectly good bed here”

“True, but I’m not going to disrespect an Alpha by fucking and marking one of his members in his own home”

I get what he meant, so instead of arguing. I nod my head.

“Okay, let go then”

“We’ll come back for Iris tomorrow” he assures me as he leads us out the door.

Part of me was eager and the other part was scared. I mean this will be different. It’s not just sex this time. It’s more. I’m getting marked and mated.

I ignore the knowing looks from Ren and Bash when Darren tells them that I will be spending the night in his pack.

We leave after that and almost an hour later we arrive at his pack. The guards at the gate give me curious looks when they spot me inside Darren’s car but they don’t say anything.

This is probably the third time I’ve been to Darren’s pack. The two times before was during Krystal’s birthday party. Him and Ren usually alternate when holding her parties. This year it was done in Bash’s pack next year it will be here.

He parks the car in front of the pack house.

“We’ll spend the night here then tomorrow I’ll give you a tour of my private home” he tells me as he helps me out of the car.

“Why can’t we just go there right now?”

“Because I want everyone in my pack to hear as I claim you”

Fuck does he have a way with words.

He leads me into the house and to his bedroom. He greets members here and there on his way but we can all tell that his mind isn’t in it. It’s somewhere else.

When he opens the door to his room, I note that it isn’t that much different from the house in the city. The color scheme is mostly grey and black colors, which I find perfect. The bed is huge, just the way I like it.

The moment the door was closes, his mouth is on her neck, slightly biting me. He spins me around and presses me against the door.
