All Chapters of A Contract With An Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Leila sighed and then dropped the silks back to the bed. “It’s my job, don’t you frustrate me and tell me what to do. I will choose what I want for the Luna and you choose what color you want.” She said and then scoffed. “Too soft? I bet you don’t want her to look good tomorrow.” She added, her voice low and firm, sounding like she looked stressed.Evelyn smirked and then raised her two hands up a little bit. “Easy, just trying to tell you my opinion.” “I didn’t ask for your opinion. If I wanted your opinion I would have asked but I didn’t.” Leila shot back at her in anger, her voice low but sharp.“Well, I don’t want red. I would love a creamy color dress,” Evelyn said, brushing her fingers over the fabric samples spread out on the bed.Leila stopped what she was doing.The iron in her stare cut sharper than any words ever could. She didn’t speak. Just looked—calm, deadly calm.“Relax,” Evelyn added with a shrug, like she hadn’t just trampled over three weeks of planning.Mara shot

SELENEI have been indoors all day, aside from me being in my office, it was eight p.m already and the maids haven't even called me for dinner yet.I was about to drink the tea from the bottle placed in front of me, when I heard a sharp knock on the door.“Thank goddess.” I muttered under my breath thinking it was one of the maids who always inform me that the roof is ready.Brielle stepped in the room, with a wide smile. I let out a deep breath. “Nothing is actually funny right now Brielle.” I said as I rolled my eyes at her.“It’s time to eat.” Brielle said.I jumped up from the bed and then dropped my water bottle on the table. “Really? Holy Christ, you don’t know how much I have been starving.” I said and then rushed towards the door. But Brielle pulled me back.“Luna.” Brielle said, her voice barely above a whisper.I paused and then turned my gaze to her. “What is it this time?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“Tonight you are dining with Beta Evelyn, Luca the Alpha’s

SELENE“Lucien and Zarek.” She said and then paused.“What? Speak up, you don’t have to worry.” I said, my hands on my waist.“They know each other.” Leila said, it was fast and firm like she was scared to reveal it.“What?” I said, my expression changed from laughter to anger immediately.“He didn’t tell you?” Leila said, squeezing the tip of her finger. “Well I thought he did.” “Well he didn’t.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.“Maybe he doesn’t want you to feel bad, he kept it to protect you, the thing is, they aren’t really friends.” She said and then touched her forehead. “They were friends before but Lucien betrayed him. Lucien’s father and my father, they were friends before Lucien’s father passed away. So our father raised him as his child but Lucien became greedy and, and the rest was history.” “So that explains it.” I said as I nodded slightly.Leila glared at me. “That explains what?”“Why he chose me. He just needed me for revenge.” I said, my face filled with an

SELENE“It’s fine.” I said with a wide smile. “I have been through worse. So this is nothing compared to what Mira had shown me.” Zarek sighed and then dipped his hands in his pocket. “You will see them tomorrow.” He said.I froze, acted like I didn’t hear what he said. “What did you say? I am sorry I didn’t hear what you said” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, my eyes locked on him.“Goodnight.” He said and then walked away.I jumped up in excitement. “He said I would see them tomorrow? Finally I would get to see my ex and his mistress.” I said and then giggled. “What’s with the excitement?” I heard a voice break out and then I paused.It was Leila.I jumped towards her and then grabbed her hands. “Zarek said I would finally get to see Lucien and Mira tomorrow.” She scoffed and then poured herself a glass of wine. “So why are you excited?” I froze and then gestured my hand. “You know I have been dying to take revenge on both of them.” She choked. “Revenge?”I nodded.“If

SELENEZarek bowed his head, one hand on my back. “I am sorry, Your Majesty.”The Lycan king smiled and then gestured his hands for Zarek to raise his head up. “Accepted, but you don’t have to apologize, my son. We only begin when the special person arrives.” He said, stepping forward, his gaze flicking briefly to me. “And this is the Luna everyone’s talking about?”I smiled and nodded smoothly. “It’s a great honor, Your Majesty.”The King’s smiled. “Oh, I believe the honor is mine.”The party started again. Conversations resumed. The tension didn't vanish. The five of us were guided to our reserved table near the front, just below where the King’s inner circle sat.As we took our seats, Evelyn lingered, pulling her chair out with sharp movements. She sat without saying a word.Zarek reached across my lap to pour me wine. “Are you good?” he murmured, his voice firm.“I am okay, and you?” I said. “But Mira keeps staring at me.”Zarek smiled faintly, his fingers brushing my wrist. “I am
