All Chapters of I Claim You, Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Tears streamed down from my eyes to my cheeks. I stared at Trevor. His eyes resembled the darkness between white shadows. My stomach started twisting inside. My hand throbbed where the glass had cut me. I did not know if I was going to lose my hand today, but the disgust in his eyes stabbed my heart.“Kevin knew Trevor was coming—that’s why he told her to do it.”“How stupid can she be?”“Maybe she fell on purpose. Trying to get his attention.”Laughter rippled through the hall. Their words stung sharper than glass. "What a bitch! First she bumped into Kevin, and now she wanted to catch Trevor's attention." The whole hall was whispering about me. I felt like dying in embarrassment. I did not want to get the Kingston brothers' attention. I was only trying to leave silently. Trevor's leg remained pressed against my hand, as if he was unwilling to move it until he received an answer to his question. What would I reply to him? Who was I? An ordinary girl who was admitted here wi

"Stepsister?" The voice came out from Kevin with a low growl. He moved his gaze at my mother and glared at her. I gulped, lowering my head. I knew it might be hard for them to accept someone new in their family. However, I never wanted to be a part of their family either. My mother let out a small chuckle. "Yes, dear. She is my daughter. Since I am now married to your father, she is now considered to be your sister. You should be happy that our family is growing." As if my mother had prepared a speech to say those things, she let out a long breath after she finished speaking. I was about to tell my mother not to explain anything since I was not going to stay with them. But Trevor shoved my thoughts to speak as he said, "Growing? So this is what Dad's money bought? His new wife's cast-off?" His voice was quieter than his brother's. But it was colder, slicing through the air like a blade. My heartbeat started to beat faster. I slowly raised my head to look at him. I

Tremors ran through my body. I could not believe my father sold me for money. How was it even possible?I did not want to believe it. But I recalled the day when the men came to ask for money and he pushed me toward them.Tears ran out of my eyes. My inner self was horribly shaken.'Dad, how could you do that to your own daughter?'The man took a step toward me, making me freeze in place.I shook my hand, trying to stop him from approaching me."S-Sir, please let me go. I didn't know about it."He stopped and snatched the tray from me. I gulped, assuming he had realized I was not aware of it.He placed the tray on the coffee table."P-Please tell someone to open the door. I promise I will pay back—"He did not listen to me as he came to stand in front of me. He gripped my arms tightly. It hurt like he was digging his fingers on my flesh.I flinched at his touch. "Don't touch me!" I said, pushing him with all of my strength.He seemed to be surprised by my action. His expression then c

My heart did not just break but shattered into a million pieces. My mate, the love of my life, was kissing someone else even after learning that I was his mate.The warmth I felt a while ago turned into a cold ache in my chest. It was like someone stabbed my heart a thousand times.An emptiness washed over me. The ground beneath me shook, giving me a taste of betrayal.I felt small and worthless. Otherwise, why did he ignore me when I was giving myself to him? He did not accept me but went to get close to another girl.I wanted to look away from them. But my eyes could not move from him. The way he was kissing the girl was clearly demonstrating that he was mad.'Is he furious because he discovered I am his mate?' I thought.He broke the kiss and looked at the girl's face. "To my place."The girl's face brightened up as if she had never thought he would invite her to his own place. She grinned and replied, "I can't believe you want me. I am so lucky, Trevor."I stared at him, waiting f

I stared at Trevor's back until he disappeared in darkness. My tears dried on my cheeks. His last words shook my whole body.I lowered my head, letting out a chuckle. I laughed harder at myself, my rank, my looks, my life, and my fate.Slowly, my laugh faded from my lips, turning into sorrow as tears welled into my eyes again.My wolf howled inside me, telling me, 'Let me take over.'I slowly stand up with the help of the wall behind me. The alley was empty. But I did not feel scared. Because the scariest thing had already happened to me.My knees were bleeding. My palm was hurting. The cold air started blowing as I took steps ahead.I knew the forest way, which began from the next road.I felt a few drops of rain fall on my head. I walked ahead like a dead person. There was nothing left inside me. I died mentally.I did not know how I went near the way to enter the forest. But when I walked into the woods, a bone crushing pain ripped through me.I shifted into my wolf form. My white
