All Chapters of After My Death: Second Chance To Be The Luna Queen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Celeste’s POVI gasped, my eyes snapping open. I was standing, having abruptly pushed my chair back—in the middle of a classroom. Dozens of my former classmates had paused their exams to stare at me in stunned silence.I was dead. I knew I was dead. So why was I here?Muffled voices slowly came into focus. “Miss Thorn? Are you deaf?”I blinked, my heart beating so fast. I looked down at my hands—no blood, no scars. Trembling, I touched my stomach. It was completely flat. My baby was gone.A sharp gasp escaped my lips, and the room violently spun around me. I grabbed my head as a wave of intense dizziness hit. My knees buckled, and I collapsed onto the hard floor.Chairs scraped as students jumped up, craning their necks to see what was happening to me.“Miss Thorn? Miss Thorn!” the stern, familiar voice of my old professor called out in alarm.I tried to push myself up, my hands trembling against the cold floor as a sudden rush of adrenaline pierced through my dizziness."Oh gosh! W

Celeste’s POV“What? I was just… telling them to back off!” His eyes darkened immediately. Of course he was mad. The old Celeste he knew was shy and quiet. She was a little scared of his Alpha temper and always tried to please him just to make him smile. We had been best friends since we were ten years old. But looking at his handsome face now, all I could see was the cold man who ordered my death. "So that's it?" he asked, his voice tight with anger and confusion. "You're mad? At me? After I've saved you a million times from those crazy girls?"I grabbed my helmet and got onto my bike, keeping my hands steady so he wouldn't see me shaking. "There is no need to protect me anymore," I said calmly. "We are in college, Caius… not in grade school."He took a deep breath, pedaling easily beside me. "Can you just tell me what I did wrong? Why are you giving me this attitude? I swear I don't know what I—""I'm just not in the mood to talk to you. I'm tired," I interrupted. I pedaled faster

Celeste’s POV"Where?" I asked softly. I kept my hands steady, focusing my healing energy on his torn veins for a few minutes before glancing up to meet his dark, piercing eyes."In your classroom, obviously," he drawled with dark sarcasm. "It’s hard not to notice the only girl with enough spine to actually fight back against those spoiled Alpha princesses." He tilted his head. "Then I did a little digging and found out you're Caius's precious personal healer. Which is incredibly convenient for me, since I just got bitten by a rabid rogue."I frowned, my hands still glowing with warm pack magic. "And where is your personal healer? Why ask for my help?""She died," he said flatly.I gasped, my concentration breaking. I immediately let go of his wrist. "Oh."The dark, poisoned veins on his arm had already faded, leaving behind smooth, healed skin. Nathan just rolled his sleeve down effortlessly."And yes, I am going to pay you every single time I need you," he stated smoothly. He reache

Celeste’s POV"What now, Caius?" I whispered with mock innocence. "Are you going to hurt me? Are you going to hurt your best friend?"I knew exactly what I was doing. I was weaponizing the very title that had kept me trapped and obedient in my past life.His jaw clenched so hard I thought his teeth might shatter. He took a ragged breath, desperately fighting his own violent Alpha instincts to dominate. Slowly, the terrifying red faded from his eyes, leaving them dark and deeply conflicted."I would never hurt you," he muttered, his voice strained. "I'm just... disappointed in you.""Disappointed?" I let out a dry, hollow laugh."You can't just let any man touch you, Cece. You can't just talk to any man who looks your way," he whispered, stepping closer. "You belong to the Feral Pack. And we don't help our enemies."I looked at him, completely unfazed by his lecture."Well," I said simply. "I wanted to.""What did you just say?" he growled, the dangerous red flickering in his eyes aga
