All Chapters of MATED TO MY RUTHLESS SWEETHEART : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

KATE"Move, traitor!" A rough shove sent me staggering forward making my bare feet scratch against the hard and cold stone floor as they dragged me out of the dark cell of the stinking dungeon. Every time I took a step, the metal of the chains that bound tightly to my wrists made a clinking sound and the tightness made them cut into my flesh as I was being walked towards the Pack hall where my fate would be decided.I was marched out by two grinning and merciless guards into the open. The strong, dazzling sunlight made me squint as I attempted to adjust to the brightness after spending the night in that cold, damp hole. My pulse was racing in my chest, each beat reminding me that there was no way out of this hot mess I’ve found myself.The pack hall was packed with werewolves of various ages and ranks, from newborn pups to feeble elders, and everyone in between. As they watched me come closer, their faces contorted into looks of hatred and disgust. They kept chanting words that cut

It was intoxicating and unmistakably sweet.As if under the influence of an invisible power, the scent pulled at something deep within me, and before I knew it, I was following it out of the Omega Hostel in swift and quiet steps.And then, I saw him.

The undeniable pull behind me wasn’t just magnetic—it was terrifying.“What is your name?”“K—Kate.” I murmured.I couldn’t turn around. My heart hammered like a rogue drumline.My whole body was in full ecstasy in response to his vibrating tone, but at the same time, I wanted to run.Instead, I croaked, “A-Alpha Nath, I'm...I’m sorry… I didn’t do it. I swear, I didn’t do it. I’m innocent.”The words spilled out without context. What was I even saying? The guilt wasn’t for poisoning anyone but for existing in a place I clearly didn’t belong.“I can feel it,” he said, moving closer. His presence was overwhelming as he moved closer to me.When I finally turned to face him, my eyes met his piercing purple ones. They bore into me like they could extract every secret I’d ever hidden.“I don’t
