Chapter 8
Third Person’s Narrative:
Celine walked into Aiden’s room in her flawless sky–blue dress. The flowing beauty gave her an ethereal sense, and its outstanding corset snatched her waist and outlined the perfect figure and curves she always used to hide.
She stopped putting effort into her appearance in her last life because Aiden never noticed her, and he warned her never to wear revealing clothes or put on makeup.
But now that she was living for herself, she would do just as she pleased. Aiden froze momentarily when he turned around to look at her. She was gorgeous. She had her hands in front of her, and her long sleeves completely covered them. Her hair was done beautifully and she looked astounding. Like royalty. Like a true Luna.
“You called for me. “She spoke and only then did Aiden realize he had been staring
“You’ll be accompanying me to the Alpha and Luna’s conference. “He spoke, and Celine raised a brow as she looked up at him.
“Why?“She questioned, and Aiden was taken aback by the question.
“What do you mean why? I was informing you. Not requesting “He replied and Celine laughed. She laughed at his words, and
What Aiden stared at her as she broke into hysterical laughter and confusion clothed him.
“What is so funny? “He questioned, and Celine battled to stop laughing.
“You. Your delusional perception of your level of power. I was informing you. Not requesting. “She laughed harder as she
looked at him, and Aiden clenched his fists as he watched her hold on to her bell testing. “She laughed harder as she
“Listening to you, one would think you are a bright king with so much power. “She continued laughing and Aiden saw red.
“What do you mean by that? I am your Alpha! “He growled, and Celine’s laughter dropped completely as disgust washed over her face.
“And yet, your mind can be so easily toyed with. “She spat, and Aiden moved over to her, grabbing her neck and glaring into her eyes.
“Is that what you’ve been trying to do with me? “He raged, and she scoffed as she stared into his eyes.
“I’m not Carla.
I will not put the effort into toying with a man’s mind. Any man who can’t think for himself deserves a tiara. He’s not a man. “She spat and Aiden’s grip on her neck tightened as his pupils began to turn red in rage. But not once did fear cross Celine’s expression.
“Did you just say that I’m not a man!? “He growled, and she smirked as she slipped her fingers under his and freed her neck from his grip.
“Does the shoe fit, Aiden Silverstone? “She replied and Aiden glared at her.
“I am not your Luna. I will not be going with you to the conference. You can take your concubine. “She spoke as she turned around to leave, but Aiden grabbed her wrist to stop her.
He was surprised by Celine’s fierce defiance, and something about it intrigued him.
“How about I show you how much of a man I am? “He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, and Celine felt something turn inside her. He still hadn’t accepted her rejection, so the mate pull was still there.
As long as he didn’t accept it, he–would always have a hand over her. She hated him immensely, but the mate pull still drew her to him. Yes, the mate pull was fucked up like that. No matter the flaws or issues, the mate pull ensured the flames of desire always burned bright
“How about we find out how much of a man I can be? “Aiden spoke again, and Celine fought the mate pull and turned around as she pushed him. Sending him a few feet away from her.
“I would rather die before I let a filthy pig like you touch me. I would rather even burn to death than risk letting you have

anything to do with my dead body after I’m gone! “She growled and Aiden saw red. Without stopping to think, he threw a slap across her face, and time stood still.
The slap was powerful and caused Celine’s lip to tear. As Aiden saw blood tackling from the tear he was fighting back an apology when Celine turned to him with her eyes blazing with hatred.
She never looked at him that before. Quite frankly, she never even dared to look him in the eyes. But this new, bold Celine, fascinated him. He found himself getting drawn to her like a moth to fire. And just like fire, she would burn him.
He tried to move close to her but this only made Celine’s anger grow. Before Aiden could render an apology, Celine drew her hand back and threw it at his face with all the force she could muster.
The slap caused Aiden to stagger a few steps back in shock, and Celine’s palm stung, but she didn’t show pain. She just glared at the man before her.
As Aiden regained his footing, he stared at Celine in shock and instead of him to be pissed, he was fascinated. No one ever dared to hit him before. And now, suddenly, the woman who used to love him immensely, the woman who used to rely on him for happiness, dared to hit him.
He couldn’t help but admire her bravery and determination, and for the first time, he saw her in a different light, and his Curiosity got piqued.
He walked over to her with his eyes locked on hers, and Celine, still seething with rage, raised her hand, ready to strike again.
But instead of attacking, Aiden surprised her by gently taking her wrist and pulling her to himself. His touch sent a spark of electricity through both of them, and Celine’s anger faltered for a moment.
Aiden felt his heart skip when he finally saw a glimpse of the woman he used to know, and he drew her closer to himself. Allowing the mate pull to play a twisted game with them.
Both parties were meant to hate themselves to no end, but at this moment, they wanted each other more than anything else.
Aiden was starting to fall for Celine. He always wanted her. Underneath all his torture and hurting her, he always desired her He loved that he owned her. But this time, things were a bit different.
Then, he didn’t care whether she wanted him or not… But now, he wanted her to want him. She was beginning to get a grip on him, and Aiden wanted to have that same power over her.
Wanting her and not getting the same energy from her hurt his pride. He wanted to see her crave him. To see her want him…. Like she always did.
“What has gotten into you? “He whispered as he leaned down to kiss Celine’s mark spot on her neck, and Celine battled to break free from his grip.
“Common sense. “She replied as she stepped away from him, and Aiden just stared.
“I will tell you again. I am not your Luna. Neither am I your lover nor partner. I will not be going with you to that conference, I’m sure your precious little slut would be more than happy to accompany you. Take her instead. “She added as she turned around and began to walk to the exit. However, as she got to the door, she stopped.
With her hand on the doorknob, she turned to look at him.
“You may be the Alpha, but I am not your plaything. Don’t have the misconception that the next time you dare to raise your hand to me, I won’t retaliate. You will either kill me, or I’ll kill your
Not once did my father ever hit me, and even if for any reason, he did do that, no other man has a right to try it. “She spoke.
With that, she turned around and stormed out of the room. Not forgetting to slam the door behind her, and leaving Aiden wondering what was happening to her.
“You will be my Luna, Celine Moonlight. You will love me again and you will be mine. Just mine.. Like you’re meant to be.
