The Alpha and His Contract Luna
108. Five years later

Sebastian.

I watch as our family and pack members mingle. There is the air of happiness and joy surroundingthe area. People are chatting, dancing and eating. Children are playing. Everyone is simply havingfun and enjoying Lauren's birthday party.

It's been five years and I couldn't be happier than I already am. Having Red and our children is thebest gift the goddess could have bestowed on me.

I watch as Krystal chases Colton. Both of them were laughing in pure joy and elation. At five yearsold Colton is playful and free spirited.

Despite that there is still an undercurrent of his alpha genes. At times it comes out when you leastexpect making Red and I believe that he will be strong. Stronger than even me.

We suspect that his Alpha genes are heightened by the fact that he is carrying Fenrir's genes.Krystal is now fourteen and she started her training to be the next oracle last year after she shifted.She now stays with Sylvia but comes home monthly.

Her training is coming along well and she’s come into her powers. We miss her every day she’s notwith us but we understand that her training is necessary.

My eyes immediately shift to my mate. She's standing a few distance away from me, her eyes onlittle Blanca. Lilly's and Micah’s three year old daughter.

Blanca is talking to her aunt animatedly and Red being the kind woman she is, is listening.Something most adults wouldn't bother doing.

I still can't get over the fact that she’s mine. This beautiful, kind and strong woman is my mate andthe love of my life. She's perfect in every way and I sometimes wonder why the hell I thought thatshe wasn't my type.

I smirk when I see Jax sneaking behind her right before he wraps his hands around her and gentlybeing careful of her bump, he lifts her up. Making her squeal at first in horror then in delight.

"You two are so sneaky” she laughs pointing at Blanca and Jax, once he sets her down.

Jax and Blanca laugh. “I needed a distraction and Blanca was perfect for it. We both know Colt isn'tthe most agreeable of children” Jax tells her making Lauren laugh.

I love seeing her happy. The joy radiating from her always fills me with contentment.

I watch as she chats with our son. Now that Blanca has accomplished her mission she runs to theother kids.

Jax now, fifteen, is towering over his mother. He is five foot eight to his mother’s five foot one. He isstarting to buff up. Every day he works out and I personally train him.

Given he is not of Alpha blood, he won't be the next Alpha. That position will remain Colton’s.

Red and I had agreed that given his love for everything tech, then he will take over as the CEO ofAshford Corporation once he's ready and is done with his studies.

We talked to him and he was ecstatic about the idea. He confided in us that the future had worriedhim. He was afraid he would have to take the Alpha position when he really didn't want to becomean Alpha.

We told him the truth this year about his parentage and assured him that he would always be ourson. He was torn up about it but eventually, he let it go after realizing that nothing would change.That he is our son in every way.

“I love you mom" his voice, now beginning to deepen, brings me out of my thoughts.

“I love you too my boy” she says, rising up to kiss his cheek.

I'm still amazed by the bond those two have. You would never believe that they're not biologicallyrelated. Anyone who meets them assumes that they're mother and son. No questions asked."What are you thinking about so hard?” her sultry voice penetrates my musings.

I hadn't even noticed her approaching me.

I immediately wrap my arms around her waist and bring her close to me. I take her lips in a kiss.Pouring my love and adoration to her through it.

Even after all this time. The sparks between us are still there. Our passion still blazing hot.

“Just thinking about how blessed I am”

And I was truly blessed. I had a mate who I loved and who loved me. The best children anyone canhave. A large extended family and a pack that adored us.

She smiles at me. “I'm the one that's blessed”

She rubs her pregnant belly. She's seven months along and this time we are having twins. A boy anda girl

I wanted to argue with her but I know I'll never win. I just keep it to myself because words can't evenexpress how abundantly blessed I am.

Kissing her forehead, we turn to look at our family and pack.

Everyone is present. Claire, Brent and their two boys. Lilly, Micah and Blanca. Luke and his mate,Becca, who is heavily pregnant. Lucas and Hailey. Both sets of Lauren's grandparents. Ryan hadn'tbeen able to come.

Sheryl was also here but as Hunter's mate. When he revealed the truth to her and told her what wewere she had taken it better than we expected. Apparently she already knew. She had seen ustransform from wolves that day when Red had been kidnapped from the company’s parking lot.When we asked her why she didn’t reveal our secret, she said that she was indebted to Lauren forgiving her a chance when no other company would hire her. She also said that she had fallen in lovewith Hunter. Now they were mated with a one year old baby boy called Liam.

My eyes move to Mayra. She's standing next to Darren who had finally gotten his head right. Weweren't friends and we would never be but we were also not enemies.

I watch as Mayra looks at him with something akin to love in her eyes. Darren on the other handhad no clue but there was just something in the way he kept throwing glances at her.

“Do you think there is something going on there?” Red asks me and looks at her only to replace herstaring at the pair.

"Yeah...my guess is that they're fucking” I tell her with a smirk.

She swats my chest gasping in horror. “Sebastian! Someone might hear you”

"Well, it's the truth” I say with a shrug.

"Whether it is or not...I hope they replace happiness, either with each other or other people”

I look down at my beautiful mate before pulling her even closer. I do pray that Mayra and Darrenget their happiness. They're good people and they deserve it.

I pray they replace the kind of love that Red and I found. The kind you can't breathe or exist withoutthe other. I pray they replace someone who loves them like I love Red because I love her more than myown life. I pray they replace the earth shattering kind of love. The kind Red and I shared.
