The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 58

Sebastian.

Why the hell did I agree to this? I ask myself for the millionth time. My hands and feet were chained much like how Lauren had been. The silver burning my skin.

Blood dripped down my swollen eye which hurt like a bitch. Everything fucking hurt. There wasn’t a part of me that wasn’t in pain, well except my dick but let’s not talk about that.

I breathe through the pain. Being pretty sure that my ribs were broken. I am a grown man and I have had my share of attacks but nothing compares to this. Sylvia is ruthless and it shows every time she fucking smiles when she’s torturing you.

I didn’t know who would be our torturer. Given that Alec was on the same boat as us. When Sylvia revealed she was the one giving us our punishment I almost fled. Yes, laugh all you want, but it’s called self-preservation. The woman has a personal vendetta against me.

I am the top dog among the alphas but she scares me. Mainly because she's a psychotic bitch. She even scares the elders and that’s saying something given those motherfuckers think everyone should kiss their feet.

I hear an elder scream like a bitch in heat. This would have been somewhat bearable if I didn’t have to hear their whinny screams. They were the elders of the werewolf community yet they were screaming like little girls. Just shows how pathetic they really are.

I close my eyes and shut off the sounds.I needed to be thinking of happy fucking thoughts. Instead of the pain that was coursing throughout my body. Jax’s face pops up and for some reason so does Krystal’s and Lauren’s.

My mind goes to Red. She sat through a couple of my sessions with Sylvia. Smirking the whole damn time.

I admit that I was fucking wrong. We were starting to settle into a comfortable routine but I went ahead and ruined everything.

She bears my mark but I have no access to her. She has blocked herself off because she fucking hates my guts.

I don’t know how to get back to where we were before I fucked things up. Sure I don’t love her but I could genuinely see me having a comfortable life with her even after our deal ends.

She wasn’t a nagging hoe like Miranda and it didn’t hurt that she treats my son like her own.

I hear the door to my cell open. I look up to find Sylvia watching me smugly.

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I ask. Trying to look at her even though she was a bit blurry.

I honestly don’t know how the woman became the goddess’ Oracle. The woman was pure evil. How she was chosen as a priestess is beyond me. Some of the shit she has done to me makes the devil look like a clown.

She breaks into a blinding smile. “Fuck yes! You idiots deserve this and more”

I sigh. That small action shoots pain to my ribs, I clamp my jaw shut. Refusing to show any pain whatsoever.

“How does it feel to be in the same position Ren was? Do you finally get the reason why she’s so mad at you?” she asks, stepping closer to me.

I didn’t answer mainly because my ego wouldn’t let me. I’m having a fucking hard time as it is. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain Red must have gone through.

She was a woman and my mate yet I fucking let her get beat up by a man while I just stood by and watched. That was something I don’t think I will ever be able to forgive myself for.

I let the betrayal of Miranda cloud my judgement. I placed her in the same category with that bitch when she was far from being a second Miranda.

“Answer me pup!” Sylvia yells at me before clawing my chest.

I slump forward. Feeling the burn of her claws tearing into my flesh. Damn it. For a moment I forget how to breathe.

“Yes” I answer her last question. Breathing through the pain in my chest.

Fuck. Why did I listen to my stupid ass brain? I wouldn’t be here if I had just investigated further. Don’t get me wrong I am far from being a pussy but pain is still pain. And right now I am in a load of it.

“You of all people should have defended her. I know the truth about your mating but for fucks sake, she is still your mate in everyone’s eyes and you should have stood by her” she swings her leg and lands a kick to my gut making me release a groan.

I don’t pretend that I don’t know what she’s talking about because it’s a waste of time. I am also not shocked that she knows about the contract. She was the Oracle after all.

“I know” I whisper, feeling weak as shit.
