The Alpha's Ruthless Luna

Chapter 7

"How dare you kiss me!?"

Aiden looked at her like she'd lost her mind, meanwhile he was the one that lost his mind from when his lips touched hers.

Why were they so soft, warm, sweet? Perhaps he had been mistaken. There was only one way to find out.

Kiss her again.

Unable to help himself, he pulled her again into himself, her resistance not more than a chicken running away from a cheetah.

This time he dug his fingers into her scalp, massaging it softly as he brought his lips upon hers. Too much was going on with his fingers and his mouth that Diana did not know exactly what to fight.

At some point, she let herself stop fighting letting whatever this feeling was, flood over her. It was daunting, pulling, warm, firm, sweet, soft, almost pleasurable, almost dreamy.

She moaned, and once she heard herself.

This time she pushed him so hard he was shocked by the amount of strength she had.

They both looked flushed and flustered, especially Aiden. He'd kissed too many women in his lifetime and had never felt such an almost embarrassing experience.

He wore a cool expression like he'd not been affected by his own doing.

"You kiss like a virgin."

Funny enough, Diana did not feel insulted, she felt disgusted by herself for allowing a second of weakness.

She let the man who wanted to kill her mother, kiss her.

"If you ever touch me. I'll make sure you never see those hands again! I hate you!"

Ouch, Aiden thought. Did she hate the kiss that much?

"Oh Diana, you have I'll be my wife in every way..."

"Over my dead body..."

He laughed.

"Is that what you want, to be thrown into the dungeon with your dearest mother?"

Diana thought about it for a second and found herself nodding defiantly.

"Indeed I'd like that..."

She put her wrists in front of her, waiting for an invisible restraint to come on them.

The doors of the living room opened instead, and for a second she thought it was the dungeon guards that had come to arrest her, only for her to turn around and see a familiar face.

Vincent.

"Vincy?"

Of course Vincent knew her, and had known her through their childhood. They'd been friends, they'd actually thought they were mates because of how close they'd been, which was why he wished she did not come back.

"Luna Diana." He bowed to her, completely throwing her aback.

"Luna? What the hell are you doing? It's me Diana..."

Vincent wanted to shake her so badly, to make her shut up before she put both of them in trouble. But he couldn't, couldn't warn her of Aiden's madness or what he'd do when he discovered that they had once been friends.

"You know each other?" Aiden's voice already carried a certain disgust to it, yet he tried not to show the effect on him.

"Yes I..."

"No I don't know her sir." Vince interrupted her coldly. I mean obviously I know she's your Luna that we've been searching for." Vince lied smoothly.

Diana let it slide, though she was heartbroken, yet she saw that Vince was trying too hard, so she went with it.

"Oh perhaps I mistook you for someone else." She said like she was forgetful.

Now it was Vince's turn to be a little hurt.

Aiden was suspicious, but he ignored the drama and focused on what he had planned.

"Take Diana to her suite and make sure that she is well groomed. She shall be introduced to the pack later tonight as my Luna."

Diana squinted at Aiden, confused. Did he not threaten to lock her in the dungeon with her mother? What was this thing about suites and grooming and introducing her as Luna to the pack?

She did not want to be introduced as anything. She'd rather be locked up with her mother, and hopefully she could come up with a brilliant idea for their escape.

"You look surprised, wife. Isn't that how you humans address your mates?"

Your. She partially rolled her eyes. He kept addressing her as a human like she didn't have a wolf.

"Listen, I cannot be your Luna or else you release my mother. I reject..."

Aiden was offended, especially because she was speaking to him disrespectfully in front of his men. He could not have his Luna showing insubordination as it could cause an uprising in the pack. Especially after what they witnessed in their cathedral, it was only normal for them to think that she was his weakness.

So he walked up to her and looked her in the eye, not shying away this time, knowing those electrifying pools would torment him for days.

"If you disobey me once again, Diana Mendez. I will effectively execute my judgement on your mother, and make you watch every bit of it. You will no longer be my Luna but my s*x slave. Which also means that every other werewolf in the pack can have you once I'm tired of you. Is that really the fate you want?"

Diana did not think there was a worse fate than marrying him... The moment the words left his mouth, she became calm, her defiance wearing thin.

Vincent saw that she lost her resolve and felt remorseful, but led her anyway. He took her upstairs, to a room opposite the master's bedroom. Aiden's bedroom.

"Here's your room, opposite yours is our Alpha's. Do not enter his room without his permission under any circumstances. I know you're his Luna, but he loves his privacy and would kill for it." Vince explained as he opened the door for her.

Diana stepped into the suite behind Vincent and stopped short, momentarily forgetting to breathe. It was far more than a bedroom; the space unfolded into a private retreat, with a sitting area arranged before towering windows, a lavish four-poster bed beyond an elegant partition, and a set of tall doors leading into what appeared to be a dressing room and marble bathroom. Soft lighting gleamed against polished floors, while rich fabrics, antique furnishings, and carefully chosen artwork gave every corner an air of quiet extravagance. Diana slowly turned, taking it all in, stunned by the sheer scale and beauty of the place she was apparently meant to call her own.

Her lips almost broke into a smile, until Vincent finally took a break from the tour, unable to help himself, he threw his arms around her.

"Oh my goodness, Diana. God I've missed you!"

Diana froze, not just because of the hug, but because Aiden was in the doorway, hands on his hips, face enraged like he was about to eat both of them.
