Alpha, I'm No Longer Your Luna

Celestina's POV

A month ago,

When I returned, I found Helene sobbing on the terrace; she got up as soon as she spotted me. She walked as fast as she could and tightened her arms around me. Having been given the name of her late daughter, I know that she deeply mourned the loss of her child.

Indeed, she believes I am her daughter.

In addition, I feel obligated to assist her because she has been there for me for the past seven years, during which time I was in a coma for five years, and she never gave up trying to save my life. I am very grateful to her since she did everything in her power to save my life and bring me back to life. I hugged her and said with a grin, "I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry about it, did he hurt you? Are you hurt?" As she checked my arms, I shook my head and replied, "No, he didn't. He released me, and I am doing fine at this point. You do not have to worry about it."

She told me, "We're moving somewhere, Celeste," and I saw that all of our things were already packed outside.

"I thought you wouldn't be with me again, but there you are. Come with me, we need to leave this place."

I looked around and stopped thinking about Thaddeus. Maybe a change of scenery will help me bring all of my thoughts, memories, and power together.

Present Time,

When I was waiting for the light at the intersection to turn red so I could walk through the pedestrian lane, I was admiring the lovely artificial pond outside the building. Then, when the light turned red, I walked slowly while scrolling through my phone. A fast, screeching car was about to hit me, but the driver stopped just in time. My eyes grew wide with fear, and I thought I was going to die tonight.

And when I looked around, I saw that there were no other people in the street; it was just this careless driver and me. I was terrified. So I slowly stand up while gasping for air in pain. The towering and manly driver of the luxury sedan exits the vehicle. He exuded an atmosphere that was simultaneously menacing and suspicious. He went about as if nothing had happened while staring at me intently, first in the eyes and then from head to toe. Then he approached me and said, "Here," while holding out cash to me, but I refused it and gave him an annoyed expression.

“I-I’m okay….”

I turned my back on him, but it seemed like he was in front of me in the blink of an eye when he took a quick step forward.

He stared at me with wide-eyed perplexity before he grinned and asked, "Wait, have we met before?"

I gradually withdrew my attention because I had a sneaking suspicion that he was a Dark Rogue. I feel that I can sense bad things and energy, but I am still weak as a human.

"No…"

"The next time this happens, you must be careful, particularly if you are walking on the street... I am a good driver, but I can be bad occasionally, and I can kill you at any minute," he stated casually, keeping his hand in his pocket.

"It's not my fault sir...you see the red light? That's the proof of your recklessness."

My hands were shaking as I cast a terrified glance in his direction, and I knew just by looking at him that this man standing in front of me was a very dangerous individual. I need to walk away from him before he attacks me tonight. He is a Rogue, and a Rogue will attack anyone if they feel they have been wronged in some way.

I stopped the taxi and got inside without looking at him.

***************

When I was finally far enough away from him, I stopped in a strange place because I heard a horse weep and cry out, and I wanted to aid that horse. Later, when I entered the weird place where no one else was around, I spotted a lovely white horse whose tail was moving as she saw me walking toward her.

After a little moment of a gentle grin, I heard her sob again. Then I realized that she relies on me to take care of her, and as a result, I had to go to the proprietor about giving me a job because I saw a sign on the street that said they were looking for staff.

THE NEXT DAY,

The next thing I knew, I had gotten the job and was standing in front of a man I really despised. Thaddeus let Roy leave so that he could talk to me alone.

I bit my lower lip as he peered at me closely. He took a step forward and carefully lifted my chin so that I could look him in the eyes as he said, "You are now my prisoner...."

"What?!"

"A punishment from the Alpha King, you can't refuse that punishment because you belong to me."
