Alpha, I'm No Longer Your Luna

Celestina’s POV

"Hey, you can't just do this to my daughter! Who do you think you are!?" Helene's anxiety caused her to run out of the building and immediately start calling for security and medical staff.

"Get off of me! What do you want from me?!” I shoved the man who was ready to place me in the wheelchair so that I could take control of the situation. He looked up at me and gave the command, "Sit."

I heaved a sigh and sat down in the wheelchair, bewildered. Then, three bodyguards dressed in dark suits appeared behind me, and another bodyguard pushed the wheelchair into the elevator.

As we arrived, the Mysterious One was already waiting for us in his lavish limousine in the parking lot. He lowered the window, his eyes met mine, and I asked while panting. "You...what do you want from me?! You no longer have any control over me! Remember! You choose to reject me! If you want me to be your slave, I have better things to do than serve someone like you!" I yelled at him, and everyone was surprised when they heard me speaking to the man in such a manner toward him.

"You can't possibly say something like that to the Alpha King! Or you'll be beheaded!" The man said as he brandished his silver sword in my direction. Fear crept over me as I gently lowered my head, and the mysterious man with a deep voice instructed them, "Bring her inside the car, and be gentle with her."

As I sit next to him, he places his hand on my stomach. At first, I gasped because it seemed he was absorbing all the pain I was enduring. Then, when his bare hand made contact with my skin, I jerked back and pushed him away.

He said softly, "My name is Thaddeus," Then he let out a soft snarl like he didn't like my treatment towards him.

"I could care less about your identity! I'm not something that can be bought with money!" I yelled at him quite loudly. The driver appeared shaken up as a consequence of my actions, and a man named Thaddeus shut the private window separating the passengers and the driver.

He gave me a piercing look with his eyes before asking, "Do you want to wed a wretched human being instead of being with me?"

I leaned forward to meet his menacing gaze and said, "I don't want to choose between you and him, I just want to be alone in my life, and mateless than to be with someone who rejected me for being weak and powerless."

This time he did not react; instead, he moved closer until our lips were only a few inches apart; when I screamed and backed aside, he grabbed my arm and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Please, please, please, let go of me...I have no interest in becoming one of your mistresses!"

He let go of my arm and took a deep breath, ignoring my pleas. A little while later, we made it to his opulent Home, which resembled a royal palace. I heaved a breath as I peered around, and when he cast a sidelong glance in my direction, I said softly while shaking my head, "I don't belong here..."

"You're going to have to put up with this situation, regardless of how you feel about it."

He pushed my wheelchair inside the Villa, I lowered my head, and when I looked up and saw the portrait of my face that was hanging on the wall, my eyes welled up with tears, and I asked, "That's why you saved me because I look like...her?" I can't deny the fact that the woman whose portrait was hanging on the wall looked just like me. My heart was breaking because I even stared at the strange man whose eyes were full of hope that he was staring at the face of the lady he loved a long time ago, but that woman was not me, and I will never be like her.

“I’m not going to be a substitute!” I screamed at him in hatred.

He spoke to me with a steady gaze that penetrated my soul and said, "You don't have a pack, you are a lone wolf, and from now on, you only have me. Why aren't you just thankful that I saved your life and gave you a place to live?!"

"Because I didn't ask for this!" After I had rolled the wheelchair back outside, he raised his voice this time in an effort to get me to stop. "Starting right now, you have to genuflect and bend your head to me! I'm your Alpha! and be my Luna!"

I give him a bitter smile while shaking my head and telling him, "Alpha, I am no longer your Luna!"

He stared at me in disbelief and asked with a frustrated sigh, "Did you just reject me this time?"

Without batting an eyelid, I look directly into his eyes and said softly, "Yes, Alpha. You have been rejected."
