All Chapters of Killed By My Alpha, Reborn As His Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The heavy wet wool of the tunic slipped from my numb fingers, splashing back into the soapy basin, but I didn't care. My ears roared with a sound far more terrifying than Martha’s shrill scolding: the heavy, rhythmic thud of warhorses' hooves against the packed dirt of the Silver Moon courtyard.He’s early.In my past life or my first life, whichever cursed timeline this was Ronan hadn’t visited the Willow Creek borderlands until the winter solstice, months after this random October afternoon. But history wasn't a rigid track; it was a fragile glass spiderweb, and my very presence here had already started to crack it, threatening to shatter everything I thought I knew about the future."Quiet down, you lazy lot! Stand straight!" Martha hissed, shoving past me with frantic energy, frantically smoothing her apron and patting down her graying hair. "The future Alpha is inspecting the border guards today. Show some respect, or you'll find yourselves scrubbing the stables with your bare t

"Get out."The command wasn’t shouted. It was a low, lethal purr that vibrated through the wooden floorboards, carrying the absolute weight of Alpha authority."You heard him, Bess, move!" Martha hissed, scrambling backward like a crab across the damp flagstones. The head laundress scurried out of the doorway, dragging a terrified Bess by the sleeve, muttering frantic apologies and pulling the heavy wooden doors half-shut behind them.They left us trapped in a suffocating bubble of damp air, boiling lye, and electric tension.I didn't move. My spine remained glued to the damp log wall, my fists clenched so tight my fingernails drew crescent moons of blood into my palms.Ronan hadn't stepped back. He loomed over me, his broad shoulders blocking out the rest of the world, shutting down the light. The air between us burned with the chaotic friction of a mating bond violently rejecting its own timing my soul screaming of execution and betrayal, his mind reeling from a puzzle he couldn't s

"Get your hands off me," I hissed and snatched my hand away from his touch because disgust clawed at my heart."There's no point fighting back because nothing is within your control any more," Kael said coldly with a blank face.My eyes blazed as I bit my inner cheek to hold back my tears. He doesn't deserve it. None of them deserves it and I'd rather die than give him the satisfaction that could break me a second time."So you expect me to follow him like a pathetic puppy? I'm just a lowly omega, not some slave whose life is decided by others." I sneered as I dug my nails into my flesh.I glared at Ronan, while his eyes pierced mine in return like he was searching for some hidden secret.Oh, if only he knew just how much hatred I have for him. The way my stomach twisted at the mere sight of him. The way my hands itched to strangle him and snatch life away from him."Selene, please calm down." Bess whispered with a worried voice but I didn't spare her a glance.Calm down? How was that

The loud neighing of horses snapped me out of my deep thoughts. My eyelids were heavy, but throughout the ride, I had no other option than to fight the sleepiness.I dared not gamble with my life, especially with Ronan around. A time was coming when he would kill me and who knows it might happen earlier than the last time."We've arrived," he announced, still looking at me but I looked away with irritation.He stepped out of the carriage first and left me alone inside. I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I had been holding. I swallowed as I continued fiddling with my fingers.Unshed tears stung my eyes but I sniffled and held them back. My stomach tied into knots. I clutched onto my head as past memories that had haunted me came flooding with full force.I was back to a place that I once died. The place where I was accused and betrayed. The one I vowed never to return to in this lifetime.How could fate be so cruel? I wasn't even given enough time to prepare myself. As much as

She eyed me suspiciously like she did in the past. I held eye contact with her. This time, I wouldn't let her bully me like she did."Ronan, who is she?" She questioned with a sassy voice. Her eyebrows were raised.Doesn't she remember who I am? Could she be pretending? Well, it was only a matter of time before I found out. For now, I just have to play cool.I bit my inner cheek while maintaining a straight face. The last time I checked, this was her reaction the first time we met in the previous timeline.Back then, I was so eager to get on her good side but that wasn't going to repeat itself again.For now, my focus was on the response that Ronan would give her. Not like I was scared of her or something but I still needed time to plan. It wouldn't do me any good if he told her.I took a few steps forward, moving past Iris. I stood at the end of the long table as I locked eyes with Ronan. He was already staring back at me."You summoned me. What for?" I questioned and folded my arms.
