The Alpha’s Contract Luna alexia By Lian

Chapter 34
“What do you mean, let’s get out of here? We just arrived,” Alexia complained.
“Let’s go back to our hotel, make love, and I’ll mark you – I’ll bite you so hard your scream will reach the moon,” Kieran
suggested, and Alexia flushed profusely.
He turned and grabbed her hand. They were walking to the exit, leaving Seth and the warriors baffled. Unfortunately for Kieran,
the king and queen arrived. King Balthasar’s eyes quickly landed on them as they met at the convention’s
entrance.
“Kieran! Just the man I want to see,” King Balthasar said.
Alexia heard Kieran growl, and she wound up giggling in her head. She mindlinked, ‘We could do that later. The king is here’
Everyone bowed before the king and queen. After this, Kieran and Alexia approached King Balthasar.
“Your Highness,” He greeted the king and queen. “It’s good to see you.”
“Good evening, my king, my queen,” Alexia greeted.
The queen looked at them and said, “As you may.” She walked away, leaving the king with them. Guards aided Queen Helen to
the VIP table, where Alpha Blaze was already waiting for the royal couple.
Alexia did not miss the queen’s indifference. Still, since her
Chapter 34
marriage to Kieran, she had always been that way to her. The king might have noticed her frown that he said, “My wife and I had
an argument earlier, Alexia. Please excuse your queen.”
He smiled at Kieran, saying, “I see love has blossomed between the two of you. I not only see it in your eyes, the way you look at
each other, but.” He smiled again and added, “I can smell it!”
The king’s gaze returned to his queen. After seeing she was busy chatting with Alpha Blaze, the king smiled at Alexia and
Kieran. He asked, “May I dance with your wife, Kieran?”
Alexia was stunned, and so was Kieran. It took a second for Kieran to reply, “Of course, my king. Please, take care of my wife.”
The king laughed. He shook his hand and said, “It’s only a dance, Kieran.”
Kieran nodded. He put his hand behind Alexia’s back and said, “I’ll be at our table and wait for you.” Before leaving her with the
king, he pointed to which table they were assigned, and Alexia Acknowledged.
Heartbeats later, Alexia found herself in the middle of the dance floor, dancing with the king. King Balthasar only had a smile on
his face. For fleeting moment, Alexia swore there was sadness in his eyes. Still, whatever woe he felt
disappeared in just a second. The king said, “You remind me of someone.”

“Who, my king?” Alexia asked.
“Someone important to me,” the king said, looking regretful.
“Alexia, child. Sometimes, we make mistakes in our lives, but
Chapter 34
the regret of making those mistakes can really haunt you for life,” the king added. “Whatever happens, always be open to Kieran.
Communication is the key to a successful
relationship.”
Alexia probably had question marks all over her face that the king added, “Don’t mind me, child. Just look to the future. I promise
you, I have chosen well for you. Kieran is a good man. Despite his overbearing qualities, I had always known he would treat you
well.”
Alexia was confused. Why was the king talking about this without explaining things? Why did it feel like the king cared for her
more than being his underling?
“Um. My king, what mistakes do you -” When she tried to delve into the king’s statements, he hushed her.
“Shhh. Remember, there is no questioning your king,” King Balthasar said.
That part of the rule was really frustrating to Alexia, but who was she to dispute it?
The king glanced at Kieran’s way, and he laughed. He said, “It doesn’t look like Kieran appreciates that his wife is with another
man, even if it is his king.”
“I should return you,” he said. “Thank you for the dance, Alexia. I am now at ease. I know Kieran will take care of you.”
Alexia flushed. Could the king actually be a fortune teller?
After the dance with the king, Alexia returned to Kieran’s side, but it was only for a moment. Next, the king spoke to Kieran.
Alexia was left at the table, together with Seth and
Sheena.
Chapter 34
More and more alphas and warriors had arrived at the ball, some finding their mates. In the last hour, Alexia had seen two

couples running into each other’s arms, calling out the word; mate.
It made Alexia somewhat jealous, but then again, maybe her fate with not with her true mate. Or perhaps Kieran is her true mate.
Only time will tell.
“Found your mate, yet Seth?” She started a conversation with Kieran’s ga mma.
“No, I think she is not here,” Seth said. “I think she is back at home in the pack.”
Alexia’s eyes widened. She smirked at Seth, saying, “You think?”
“Seth has grown to like a new girl in town, luna. He thinks she is his mate, but the new girl is still twenty years old,” Sheena
revealed.
“New girl?” Alexia asked. She frowned, thinking, “When did we have a new member to the pack? It couldn’t be -”
Her face paled, looking at Seth, and she said, “No. Melissa?”
“I’m not yet sure, luna,” Seth admitted. “I will have to wait until she turns twenty-one, but I am strangely drawn to her.”
If that were the case, she would be happy for her friend, Melissa, but also, that would mean her other friend would be by himself.
Before leaving for the ball, Alexia spoke to Dean. He
admitted to liking her, but knowing his place, he promised
never to aggravate Kieran. Alexia and Dean agreed they
Chapter 34
would keep a safe distance between them but still remain friends.
Alexia sighed. If Melissa is truly Seth’s mate, she earnestly hoped that Dean would find his mate.
“Luna Alexia, would you like to join us at our table?” Alexia turned to find Luna Grace, the same luna who had attended their
wedding. “Some lunas have gathered to learn from each other’s best practices.”
“Problems of each pack are always unique, and we could learn from the experiences of others,” Luna Grace added.
Alexia smiled. She meant to do the same, anyhow. She rose from her seat and said, “I’d be happy to. Thank you for inviting me,
Luna Grace.”
Alexia was introduced to all the lunas at that gathering. Many were welcoming, but some looked at her with envy. Luna grace

had to explain things to her. She whispered into her ear, “I had always suspected Luna Delila of having desires for Alpha Kieran.
She isn’t mated to her husband. And Luna Susan? She is commonly unwelcoming, but once she can. trust a person, she will
open up.”
Then, referring to an older woman, who appeared to be the most stern, Luna Grace introduced, “that is Luna Beatrice. It’s not
that she is not a kind person, but her life is bitter, and she has become one as well.”
“Luna Beatrice is Alpha Blaze’s wife,” Luna Grace revealed.
That was a surprise for Alexia. Alpha Blake, the leader of the Golen Eye Pack, had attended their wedding, but he did not bring
his wife. She did not even know that the man was married. She must have gotten her information about Alpha
Chapter 34
Blaze incorrectly, then.
The discussion between the lunas stretched to an hour. It was more than enough to learn from everyb*dy. Dinner had
commenced, and thus, everyone returned to their respective tables.
Alexia and Kieran were together for the entire dinner. While others walked around, especially the single werewolves, hoping to
find their mate, the two only had eyes for each other.
It relieved Alexia how Kieran was attentive to her and assured her he wasn’t there to find his mate. In fact, when Sheena left their
group, Kieran said to her, “Go on, Sheena, see if your mate is out there.” He put his arm around Alexia and declared, “Mine is
already here.”
It made Seth and Sheena laugh. The other two warriors who were with them chuckled as well.
Alexia understood it wasn’t like Kieran to be expressive of his feelings, but lately, he had been very open about showing affection
toward her. It no longer bothered him what others thought of him, making Alexia feel very secure.
After dinner, it was time for the alphas to gather among themselves, but unlike the informal crowd the lunas had made earlier, the
alphas excused themselves to a private room within the convention center. Thus, Alexia was left all alone with Seth, who, among
the warriors, was the only one uninterested in finding a mate.
“I need to go to the ladies’ room,” Alexia said. Seth followed behind her and watched outside the restroom.
Alexia relieved her bladder and then washed her hands and
Chapter 34
face. Moments later, Luna Beatrice walked in. She politely smiled at the other luna. Beatrice said nothing.
While drying her face, Beatrice suddenly spoke. She asked, “Why aren’t you marked yet?”
“Um,” Alexia pursed her l*ps and replied, “I wasn’t decided yet until now, but I have already agreed for Kieran to mark
me.”
“You are not... true mates?” She asked.
“I am still twenty. I still cannot smell by true mate, but either way, Kieran and I vowed to remain together. We are... married, after

all,” Alexia explained.
Beatrice laughed. She shook her head and remarked, “Enjoy it while it lasts, young luna, because once your alpha finds his true
mate, you will be set aside. Listen to me because my husband has not touched me in over twenty-five years. His true mate is out
there, and I know they are f ucking around behind my back.”
“You are still young, luna. If I were you, wait until you know that you are true mates before letting him mark you. Once you are
marked, you belong to him completely. Learn from me. I became a used woman. I am claimed, but I am not loved. I can’t even
leave him, thanks to the bond of marking each other,” Beatrice said before excusing herself into the cubicle.
Alexia felt her heart becoming heavy. She frowned, wondering what to do? ‘Goddess, help me.’
With a sigh, she whispered, “I need to talk to Kieran.”
