Chapter 9
Celine;
It’d been a week. An entire week of avoiding eating whatever was sent to me in private, and I felt. Better. I felt stronger than I’ve ever felt in my life.
I could feel the surge of my wolf flowing through me, and I knew that in due time, I would meet her.
I walked into the vast field before the sun came up, and Ace was already waiting for me on the field. I was in a pair of shorts, and a tank top, and I had my hair in a bun
“Ready to train? “He questioned with a beautiful smile, and I smiled back at him.
“More than ready, sensei. “I replied as I stood in front of him, and he chuckled at my words.
The grass in the courtyard was moist from morning dew, and the air was light and pure. The only sounds that could be heard were the birds chirping in the trees, and the delicate scent of blooming flowers floated in the air. It was a perfect day to train. and I was ready to learn all I could.
Today, we will be focusing on your striking techniques, “Ace said, with his voice carrying a sense of authority I was just realizing I kind of liked
“Remember, hand combat is not just about physical strength, but also about honing your mind. “He spoke with seriousness on his features, and I nodded with determination burning in my heart,
“Where do we begin? “I questioned, and Ace took a deep breath as he walked over to me and stood behind me.
“First, we’ll work on your punches. “He said as he took my waist from behind, and for some reason, that touch caused my breathing to falter.
“Remember to maintain a stable stance, keep your wrists aligned, and exhale with each strike. “He continued as he slid a leg between mine and pushed one of my legs away from the other, to get my legs the proper distance apart
I battled to get my breathing on track, and Ace’s hand traveled over my body while trying to get me into a good stance.
His hands were hard, but his touch was tender. It was obvious that he could do considerable damage with those hands, but as he held me, and his fingers traveled across my skin, the delicacy of his touch made me feel tender… Soft… I liked it.
Aiden never touched me like that. Aiden was always a beast rough and with a touch that instilled fear. However, despite how big Ace’s hands are, I feel safe in his touch and know I can trust it.
When he pulled away from me, I found myself wanting his touch again, but forced my mind back on track.
As training began, I threw a punch and my fist sliced through the air. I could feel Ace closely observing me, and it made me a
bit… nervous.
I turned to him and found his discerning eyes scanning for any flaws.
“Your form is good, Celine, but focus on your speed and accuracy, “He advised as he came to stand beside me, and I just stared at his beautiful silver eyes. From the glow in them, I could tell that he was enjoying this.
“Imagine your opponent’s weak points and strike with purpose. “He spoke, and I nodded in understanding, as I watched him throw a punch.
I tightened my stance and narrowed my eyes with determination. I launched a flurry of punches, each strike became swifter and more precise,
Sweat dripped down my brow, but I didn’t stop. One person came to my mind as I threw the punches, and I just wanted to end
him
Aiden. I wish I could hurt him… Kill
Ace circled around me and gently corrected my posture.

“Remember the importance of balance, Celine. Your body must move as one with your strikes. Let your energy flow from your core. “He corrected, and I nodded.
With each adjustment, I felt a surge of newfound power coursing through my veins. I could feel my strikes gaining strength, and
my confidence accelerated when Ace’s corrections reduced. Happy about my progress, I pushed myself even further.
As the session continued, I grew more comfortable with the techniques Ace taught, and I mimicked his every move with my movements flowing smoothly like water.
When next I looked at Ace, I saw pride in his eyes as he looked at me, and I felt my cheeks burn
“Let’s take a break. “He called, and I panted as I stood properly. We walked under a tree and as we sat, he spoke.
“You have a natural talent, Celine, but true perfection requires dedication, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of self- improvement.
Remember that
You’re a beautiful talent with a fot of potential. But your journey has just begun. “He spoke with a warm smile and his gaze filled with admiration.
“I’m sure, with a teacher like you, I’d be a pro fighter in no time. “I replied, and his smile grew.
As we just got back on the field to continue training, my eyes fell on him. Aiden. He was draped in a royal regalia, and Carla was right beside him. Clinging to him like the parasite she was
Aiden’s green eyes narrowed as he looked at me, but I turned away from him, focusing on Ace. He and Carla were on their way to the stupid conference he tried to force me to attend with him.
Suddenly, I was yanked back, and when I turned around, I saw Aiden.
“Privacy! He growled, and Ace bowed and passed me a small smile before walking away.
Carla on the other hand lingered, and Aiden turned to her.
“Leave! “He yelled, and she immediately scrambled away.
Leaving just Aiden and me under the morning sun, and he pulled me closer to himself.
“What are you doing?”
“Training.
“Why?”
Because I feel like it.
“You refused to attend the conference with me so you could. Train?
“Yes. And?
“You’re beginning to get on my nerves, Celine. “He growled as he tightened his grip on me, and I glared at him.
“Why? Because I’m no longer a puppet you can control “I questioned and he simply glared at me. His green pupils going back and forth from green to red.
“What is this you are wearing? “He then questioned, and I raised a brow.
“When did your eyesight start failing? I questioned and he growled.
“It’s too revealing. “He said, and I began to battle to break free from his dangerously firm grip.
“What say do you have over how I chose to dress!? “I growled as I stumped his foot, and just as I managed to break free and move away from him, he pulled me back to himself.
“You are mine, Celine! The sooner you understand that, the better for all of us! “He growled, and I smirked as I stared at him.

“Why so desperate? Is your ego hurt? That this omega wants absolutely nothing to do with you when other women would mindlessly throw themselves at your feet? I questioned, and a dark smile curled on his face.
“The goddess gave you to me. You are at my mercy, Celine. I have the power to do whatever it is that I want with you, and no one would interfere because you are mine. “He said, and I stared at the beast before me and he suddenly let me go.
“And this is too revealing! “He growled as he suddenly ripped off my tank top, leaving me in just my sports bra, and my jaw dropped.
He stared at me for a few seconds before turning around, and I clenched my jaw.
“The next time, I won’t be so lenient. “He said, and my fists balled as I watched him walk away.
The arrogant brute!
