All Chapters of Alpha Ragnar's Unclaimed Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Chapter 1The slap came out of nowhere.It swept me off my feet, sending me crashing to the ground in the opposite direction. My shaky hands instinctively moved to nurse my now swollen, red cheek, trying to soothe the pain. But with a single touch, the pain doubled in intensity, and I let out a sharp hiss of displeasure. A tear stung the side of my eye, but I refused to let it fall. I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing me suffer.“Why can’t you do anything right? Are you so dull that you don’t even know how to hold a pitcher steady?” Derick sneered, his voice filled with disgust.“Worthless wretch,” Sylvia chipped in, shaking out her hand as if striking me had somehow dirtied her. Her expression was one of pure disdain as her gaze darted between the spilled water on the table and me, crumpled on the floor. “So, this is how you repay us for keeping a roof over your head?”My fingers curled into fists at my sides, but I knew better. It wasn’t worth it. There was no point in

It was my eighteenth birthday, and yet I didn’t feel the joy that should come with it—specifically because this was the age where dreams came true.

As if that wasn’t enough—I was still forced to work as a maid at the banquet.

Ragnar’s POVI could still taste the kiss.It was faint, but I couldn’t shake it. It was still so vivid since it hadn’t even been a day since it happened. The warmth of her skin, her messy hair, and those deep blue eyes that made me restless—made her hard to resist. The way she had trembled beneath me—not in desire, but in fear. Dominating her was so easy, and yet.I paused, feeling infuriated by the thought as I slammed my fists against the polished wood of my desk.I had drawn the line at the banquet, yet I still crossed it.When she cried out against me, I knew there was nothing she could do but lay there, begging me to stop. I could have ignored her, but at that moment… The second I pulled away and saw her tears, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a very long time.It was guilt.But why should I care?She was just an omega.
