The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 79

“Can someone please explain what the fuck is going on here?” the younger man says.

He looks to be around my age or so, maybe younger. I’m not sure. I stare at him and see the resemblance between him and Lilly. The only difference being that he had black hair. I assume he is Luke and the older guy currently kneeling down, crying, must be Lucas, their father.

“Join the club mister because I’m just as confused as you” I stare at them. My hands folded across my chest.

“Dad, mom?” Lilly calls to them shakily.

They seem to be in another world. Like they’re completely lost.

It may be insensitive of me but I came here to relax and pass time. Not to dive straight in to a family drama that may or may not involve me.

“Look Lilly, thank you for inviting us but I need to leave. I’ll book myself, the kids and Hunter to a hotel for tonight, then head back home tomorrow.” I tell her and begin to walk towards them.

I needed to leave. For some reason I felt like I'd been stripped raw. I just knew that I couldn’t stay here anymore.

I was about to walk past Lucas when he shoots his hand out and grabs mine.

“Please don’t leave. Don’t leave again” he begs. His voice broken.

The emotions I see in his eyes tag at my heart. A part of me wants to stay for his sake but the other wants to leave and forget this weird and strange meeting.

“Please dear, stay and we’ll explain everything” Valery pleads. “We’re normally not like this but seeing you just brought back some painful memories and some lost hope”

I stare at her. Wondering what memories I could have brought when I didn’t even know them.

“Blue, Midnight? Do you think we should stay?” I asked them.

I needed their guidance on this. This also concerned them as much as it concerned me.

“Yeah” Blue answers slowly as if she wasn’t that sure but was curious none the less.

“We have to. I have a feeling that whatever they’re about to say is connected to us and also to your past” Midnight replies after a while.

I sigh. I was afraid of that. Afraid that what was unfolding before my eyes was connected to me.

“Okay” I agree.

“Thank you…Let’s move to the office, we have a lot to tell you” Valery tells me with a small smile before turning to her children.

“You too Luke and Lilly, this is something you need to hear because it also relates to both of you”

Luke nods and so does Lilly.

Their father stands up. He seemed to have gotten himself together though you could still see that he was battling whatever ghosts that were inside him.

He begins to walk, leading the way and we follow him. I for one felt like I was being led to a slaughter house.

“Please lock the door Lilly” Lucas says in a hoarse voice once we are inside the office.

She does so and then we take our seats on the cozy sofas. My heart was pounding and I was panicking when both Lucas and Valery didn’t say anything.

“Look it’s either you talk or I walk” I break the silence.

Didn’t they realize the anxiety was killing me? Maybe Midnight was wrong and whatever they had to say wasn’t something I needed to hear.

“Don’t you dare talk to my parents like that! This is all you fucking fault…Look at the state they’re in” Luke growls at me, spitting fire in my direction.

I level him with a deadly look. “I suggest you shut your mouth before I shut it for you. You’re Lilly’s brother and that’s why you’re still standing but talk to me like that again and I will rip out your throat”

I let Midnight and Blue shine a little through my eyes. It’s a battle of supremacy between the two of us. I don’t want to back down and neither does he.
