Mated to the Ruthless Alpha

CHAPTER ONE

The rejection word, he finally said it,

I, Alexander Maximus rejected you, Athena Miller as my mate and Future Luna of the Celestial Moon pack.

This was it, the rejection. Well, I didn't expect anything less, did I? I thought as I felt the tears streaming down my face. I grunt as I hold my stomach in pain.

I could feel intense pain engulfing me as I fell back to the ground. It hurts, it hurts more than I had thought.

I struggled to stand up as he stared angrily at me, he was struggling to hold back.His eyes were getting darker and darker, and he was waiting for the

acceptance and so, I said the final word,

I, Athena Miller accept your…, Suddenly, Landon enters, Alpha, he calls out, cutting me off from the remaining words.

Why me? Why do I have to face this fate, I smiled bitterly as I remembered how it all started.

It was that night, that one night that changed everything. I shouldn't have gone when he called for me.

Perhaps, it wouldn't have happened, maybe I wouldn't have killed him, I thought as I horribly remembered her past.

Even as Omegas, we had lived comfortably in the palace serving the Alpha and his family. I was loved and was showered with care and attention being the only child of my parents.

Unfortunately, it happened that night, I remembered clearly, it was the night when the Alpha Son, Tristan was bestowed the Alpha title. The Alpha has been so proud of his son and has held an event to celebrate it.

Tristan Dakota, that name, I would never forget, I was assigned to deliver his food and take care of his room but anytime I went there, he would always look at me with lust in his eyes.

Sometimes, he would touch me in the most inappropriate, in an uncomfortable way. I would only flinch but wouldn't talk until this day, he had overdone it.

It was after the ceremony, he had just taken over the Alpha role from his Father, and he had requested my presence. I didn't want to go, I had a bad feeling about it but who was I to disobey the Alpha's Order, I had gone upstairs to his room.

I hesitated and opened the door slowly as he told me to come in.

Alpha Tristan, I, I, I was told you requested for me, I stuttered and shuddered as I said.

Yes, I did and so, now you know, I am the new Alpha, he proudly declared

Yes, Alpha, I replied to him.

Come here, he commanded and used his hand to signal me.

I, I, I, I stuttered as I moved backward.

I said come here, he shouted and commanded me in his Alpha voice.

I quickly moved forward only for him to grip me hard and settle me on his lap. He started caressing me, sniffing my neck, and plastering kisses on my shoulder, it was so cringing and disgusting. He was touching every part of my body like he owned it, it was nauseating and he was enjoying it.

Alpha, please, I beg of you, I said as I found my voice breaking, it was too much.

You know, he sniffed my neck, growled, and began saying. I knew you would be sweet, I just knew it, he started rambling as his hand made its way under my skirt, he was hurting me.

Please, I said as I struggled to wriggle myself out of his grip. Then he pushed me to the bed and started to hover towards me.

Please, Alpha, I cried, shouted, and used all the strength in me to push him back, that maniac, he was enjoying this.

You know, no one, nobody can hear you, nobody will come to your rescue, you are just a weakling, a weak omega, that is what you are, you are just what I will use for my pleasure, he started laughing while saying this hurtful words

Suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore and then, I bit him, I bit him around the neck leaving a mark, he was shocked, and then before I knew it, he slapped me by the cheeks, yanked me by my hair, and forcefully tore my clothes. I was left in only underwear in front of him, you bastard, he growled, how dare you? He said and the next thing I knew, he was choking my neck, it hurt, it hurt so badly.

And then, I did it. I sliced him in the stomach with the knife. It was a poisonous knife. I had kept it under my skirt when he called for me, I was so afraid of what he might do that I had picked the knife hurriedly.

I had cut him in the stomach, it was so deep, blood was gushing out as he staggered and fell, he was screeching, his eyes were turning dark, it was closing and I was frightened, holding the knife and shivering.

This was it, the end had finally come for me. Suddenly, the door opened and my heart skipped a beat. It was my mother and she screamed, covering her mouth as she beheld the sight in front of her.

Mother, I called out.

Go, go away from here now, go away, now, she said, rushed inside and pushed me towards the door.

Mother, I killed him, I killed him, I was crying, the knife still in my hand.

You didn't, You didn't, no, you didn't she repeated as she collected the knife from my hand, and wiped the blood away with her cloth.

Go, go back to the chamber, stop fidgeting and go to sleep, she said, pushing me to the door while closing the door behind her.

And that was it, my mother was convicted of murder, she was convicted for killing the Alpha's son. They executed her right in front of my eyes and all I could do was wail, all I could do was cry. She had taken the blame for my actions.

My Father couldn't bear the pain of losing his dear wife as he also committed suicide immediately after the execution of my mother and I was left with the guilt of killing both of my parents.

Not long after the execution of my Mother and the death of my Father, the Alpha passed judgment, I was banished, and I was told to go into exile and never to return to the pack.

For days, I wandered through the forest, feeding on only fruit, bearing the pain, and the harshness of the sun, with no hope of rescue or help coming from anywhere. Perhaps, my life would just end here and no one would get to find me. I heavily signed, this was my destiny, I should learn to survive in my own little way, I thought aloud.

I went out to look for food as usual on this day. It was at night, and I had gone a little far away from my abode. I stopped by the river to drink some water, and I heard some noise not far away from where I was. Sounds like some footsteps, Lyra, can you hear that sound? I asked my wolf.

All of a sudden, before I could make a U-turn or run for my life, someone attacked me from behind and knocked me out.

We caught this one, that was the last thing I heard before I fell into unconsciousness.
