Ellie.

I had been feeling different for weeks now. My appetite changed, my energy fluctuated, and lately, even my wolf seemed quieter than usual. I suspected the truth but hadn’t dared confirm it. Not until this morning.

Standing in front of the mirror, I pressed my hand against my lower abdomen, feeling the faintest of curves. A small smile crept onto my face. There was no denying it now—I was pregnant. My heart fluttered with excitement. Archer had always wanted children, and now, the thought of telling him made my pulse race. But I knew I wanted to tell in a way that would make the moment special, so I went in search of my friends.

“Julie! Gilly!” I whispered as I rushed into the room where they were chatting. Both of them turned to me with curious looks.

Julie’s eyes widened, immediately sensing something was different.

“Ellie, what’s going on?”

“I think…” I began, but then corrected myself, “No. I know. I’m pregnant.”

Gilly gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.

“Oh, Ellie! This

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 1

    Ellie.“Oh, baby! You’re taking it so well,” Alpha Vito, my mate groaned with a thrust, but the she-wolf underneath him wasn't me. I was forced to watch, as he made love to another she-wolf.My heart jacked, intense pain washing all over my body as I watched them once again, wondering when this torture would end.“You fuck me so good. I think I’m about to…” he groaned louder, this time taking a fistful of her blond hair, pulling it back. There was no sign of guilt for me at all on his face.It wasn’t supposed to be like this. A mate was supposed to cherish and respect you regardless of background or status, but mine hated me with passion, all because I wasn’t what he wanted, and She was.A rather loud cry of pleasure filled the room, and I momentarily shut my eyes in anticipation of the increased pain I knew would follow. As anticipated, my blood ran cold and my body went limp as I fell to the ground, groaning in agony; weak, tired, and completely done with the misery that was my life

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 2

    Archer.The sound of a heavy punch hitting the air echoed in my ear, louder than the sound of my pounding heart as adrenaline washed over me. Theo, my beta, cast me a proud look because, for the first time in two decades, he almost got me.When I wasn’t passing decrees, listening in on complaints from one alpha to the other, or traveling, I was sparring with Theo. He was the only one strong enough to contend with me. He was fast, smart—especially in combat—and most of all willing to learn. Though even with his strength, he never held a candle to me.We weren’t friends, like most Alphas and Beta, but I spent a lot of my time with him enough to call him my person because he was good at taking orders and getting jobs done.“Hm, eager to hit me, I see,” I flexed my shoulders, fixing my gaze on his fists to dictate his next move.Theo didn't hesitate, I knew he'd been waiting for the chance to be able to hit me, and I would make it as impossible for him to get anywhere near me as I had in

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 3

    Ellie.My eyes fluttered open, catching the ray of sunlight that infiltrated the room.Strange…My window was on the left side, not the right, and the position of the bed was off, but most especially, there was a throbbing pain at the back of my head, and unconscious awareness at the back of my mind that something was off.I shut my eyes with a groan, turning to my other side, but paused when my groan echoed loudly, deeper than the actual sound. Then I felt it; a hot breath on my face.My eyes shot open as I sprang to life, watching with confused wide eyes the body beside me—a male wolf—stare at me with identical confusion.“What are—”“Who are—”We said at the same time. I blinked a few times, watching him in pure and utter confusion, with no recollection of why he was on the same bed as I was, with his naked chest on display.I’d seen him before, cleaning Vito’s house. He was an omega just like me, but we never exchanged pleasantries or looks, yet I was in bed with him.“Why are you

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 4

    Ellie.My brain was in overdrive.I could hardly believe that in one simple moment, I had just met the Lycan King and Vito was no longer my mate. I rejected him and freed myself from his torture. I once thought that if there ever came a time that Vito was not my mate anymore, I would escape the pack and become a rogue, probably join the humans and live my life under the radar, and now that thought was within reach... or so I thought."I'm taking her with me."I blinked when I heard the words, unable to believe my ears.I had returned to Vito's house with him, His Majesty, and His Majesty's beta, and I was forced into a room while they talked in the living room, but me being me, I opened the door a little, peeking through the small space to see and hear clearly.His Majesty had said the words simply like it wasn't my death wish. My heart thrummed loudly in my chest as my eyes darted from wolf to wolf, trying to confirm if what he said was real or just a fragment of my imagination."But

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 5

    Ellie.I sat frozen in the car, unable to move a muscle, not with the intense brown eyes staring daggers at me. We sat opposite each other in the car, his aura as dark as the shirt he had on. I tried my best to keep my eyes off him, but the intoxicating scent of him kept pulling me back unconsciously.“I suspect he’s our mate, Ellie, but isn’t it uncommon to have a second chance mate this quick?” my wolf, Ru, asked, but I shut her out quickly. I was wondering the same thing before she spoke, and I needed to know what that meant for me, and my future, being the Lycan King’s mate, but I couldn’t dare ask. The Lycan King was not Vito, they were two different wolves with different authorities, and if the rumors I’d heard about the king were true, then he was very strict, merciless, and straight-up evil.“Do not think for even a second that he will believe anything you say,” Vito warned me earlier, but sitting opposite him like this, I wondered if he would’ve believed me had things gone my

    Ellie.To my surprise, he did listen, raising his body from mine.Quickly, I gathered what was left of my dress, using the tattered pieces to cover myself, my eyes darting around the area, scouting for the easiest place to run to, to escape from him, but the scent of him infiltrated my nose, rendering me a hostage to his pull.Silence followed us up to my dark room, but the second we stepped in, he pinned me against the closed door, as if he sensed my plan to escape, dark eyes boring into me before he dipped his head into my neck. A breath escaped my lips the moment his lips touched my skin for the second time, suddenly feeling hot all over. The sensation was new to me since I never did anything of the sort with Vito. So I just stood there, while succumbing to the forceful domination of his lips on my neck and chest.“Touch me.”The command was thick and unsteady, but I obeyed, placing my trembling hands rather slowly on his back, only to remain stunned when he made hungry sounds in t

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 7

    Ellie.The first thing I felt when my eyes fluttered open was extreme soreness in the lower part of my body.I couldn’t explain to my new mate that it was my first time because it would only confirm to him that I was a liar since he strongly believed that I had sex with a wolf that wasn’t my mate. My chest burned with the memory of the night before and how despite his roughness with me, I found pleasure in it all, but also because of his statement afterwards.“You will be the Queen’s handmaiden and my mistress.”He had said with no thought of my feelings whatsoever. To him, I was nothing more than an unworthy mate, just like Vito thought.“Did you not hear what I said? Quit spacing around like a freak and answer me!” A loud voice broke into my thoughts, with angry blue eyes staring daggers at me. Head Maid Emma. I knew nothing about her other than the whispers I had heard that she had been the King’s maid since he was just a boy. The omega maids speaking about her mentioned that she w

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 8

    Archer.“And so the packs finances has relatively increased by five percent…”Lee, my gamma and my trusted manager was saying, but my mind drifted off to a certain black-haired omega and the feel of her body under mine. The darkness did nothing to hide her sultry body from me, or the look in her eyes when I had her reach climax.Fuck!It wasn’t my intention to have her like that–or at all–but it was a full moon, and the pull to her was so strong it was impossible to ignore. I had indeed gone to the servants quarters but I had no plans to go up to her room or seek her out, but then she came down to me and I lost control.A sigh escaped my lips as I ran my fingers through my hair, tugging the roots slightly.“Are you okay, Your Majesty?” Lee’s voice momentarily snapped me out of my daze, but when I nodded my head, signaling for him to keep going, the thoughts of her came back to hunt me.“You almost devoured her last night,” Ian snickered, angering me.I couldn’t deny that the intimacy

    Ellie.Archer’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, the usual sharpness in his gaze softened by tiredness. Relief flooded through me as I smiled down at him, a warmth spreading in my chest.Without thinking, I hugged him, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. His body was still weak, but his arms managed to slip around me, holding me close.He smirked, his voice low and slightly hoarse.“I really don’t know how I could ever live without you, Ellie,” he said, his lips curving into a half-smile, “You’ve saved my life more times than I can count.”I leaned back just enough to look into his eyes, brushing a few stray strands of hair from his forehead.“That’s only because you saved my life countless times when I was an omega,” I replied softly, my fingers still lingering on his skin.“Do you know… if you hadn’t taken me away from Crimson Pack that day, Vito would’ve killed me.”His brow furrowed, a shadow passing over his expression.“I meant what I said when I told you Vito and Nadine dru

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 119

    Ellie.Archer stepped forward, fists clenched at his sides, muscles tense.“What do you want, Seraphina?” His voice was low, brimming with barely contained rage.She laughed softly as if we were sharing a joke, “Oh, I have so many plans,” she replied, a hint of malice lacing her words, “But most importantly, I’ve discovered something extraordinary during my time, going around,” her sinister smile intensified as she gestured to the far side of the room.I followed her gaze and felt my breath hitch. There, carved into a stone, was an intricate seal that pulsed with a dark, ominous energy. It seemed to throb with a life of its own, casting a strange glow that began to illuminate the room.“Behold,” Seraphina said, her voice dripping with excitement, “the seal of forbidden magic. A power so great that it could change everything.”“What are you planning?” I asked, my heart racing. I could sense Ru’s agitation, a low growl reverberating through our bond as we moved closer, studying the seal

    Ellie.“This must be the doing of the witches,” Tristian said and I nodded.Since witches were known for experimenting with animals and even wolves, I believed it was possible.“Get ready,” Archer commanded, his voice steady and calm. His eyes flickered red, taking in every detail of the surroundings.Suddenly, the creatures appeared—animals twisted into monsters by dark magic. Their glowing eyes and grotesque forms lunged at us from the palace, snarling and snapping.Ru surged forward, and I shifted in an instant, claws tearing into the first beast that came at me. It was a tainted. I ducked as it swiped at me, saliva dripping from its mouth, I struck hard at its side, sending it skidding back. Its howl filled the early morning air, but it wasn’t done yet. It twisted back toward me, fury in its glowing eyes.Archer moved beside me like a protective rock.“Don’t let them surround us!” he shouted, his sword flashing in the sunlight as he cut down another beast, “Stay on the move!” He h

  • Be My Second Mate or Die   Chapter 117

    Ellie.The dawn was just breaking, casting a soft golden light over the assembled warriors.They had come from all corners of the kingdom in their large numbers, their expressions set in serious determination.Archer stood at the front, his presence commanding as he addressed them.“We are not waiting for the witches to come to us,” Archer’s voice boomed over the crowd.The warriors stood at attention, their eyes fixed on him.“We’re going to hunt them down. We’re going to seek them out, and we’re going to exterminate every last one of them.”A murmur of approval rippled through the crowd, the tension building in the air. It had been a week since we discovered the serum worked. I’d spent three days on lockdown, recovering after giving so much of my blood for the serum. It hadn’t been easy, but now, after my rest, I felt ready. More than ready. I needed to be out there with them.Beside me, Tristian shifted his weight, his gaze focused on Archer. He hadn’t wanted to leave Gilly’s side,

    Ellie.“We found a way to make it work!”Archer and I exchanged a look, a slow smile forming on both of our faces. The tension that had been hovering over us for days seemed to lift just a little.“Show us, then,” Archer said, his voice calm but eager. He slipped his hand into mine as Julie gestured for us to follow her.We walked through the halls of the research center, the walls gleaming white under the fluorescent lights. The scent of chemicals and something distinctly metallic filled the air, making my nose twitch. My mind raced, trying to piece together how they’d done it—how they’d managed to do it.Julie led us into the main lab, where an animal—a sleek, muscular dog—stood next to a warrior wolf. The warrior looked calm, though I couldn’t help the slight edge of concern that rippled through me.“Is it safe to use a warrior for this test?” I asked, squeezing Archer’s hand a little tighter.Julie nodded, her smile not faltering for a second. “Completely safe. We’ve run simulatio

    Ellie.In the following days, leading up to a week, I had a routine.Every morning, I’d submit more blood for testing, spend hours in the lab with Julie and the others, searching for a way to make it work, then I’d head over to the training grounds for training with the warriors.And Archer worried more with each passing day. I could see it in the lines forming on his face, the way his hands would linger on my shoulders, as if grounding himself to make sure I was still alive and well, when I returned.Today was no different. I had just returned from training with the other wolves, my muscles sore, when I found Archer in our room, waiting for me. His eyes flicked to the bandage on my arm before locking with mine.“This can’t go on much longer, Ellie,” he said quietly, standing from the chair he’d been sitting in, “If Julie doesn’t come up with something concrete this time, I’m putting an end to it.”I sighed, pulling my hair out of its messy bun and running a hand through it.“Archer,

    Ellie.“Ellie, can I talk to you? Alone?” Archer asked, his voice was soft but firm.I nodded, following him out of the research lab. Julie stayed behind with the other seven wolves, their faces a mix of shock and curiosity.The door closed behind us, and the silence that settled between Archer and me felt heavier with each passing step. He wasn’t saying anything, his jaw tight, and I found myself pressing my lips together, wondering what he was thinking.We walked in silence through the halls until we finally reached our room and when the door clicked shut, and I turned to face him, the tension between us lingering like a storm about to break.“Are you angry with me?” I asked, unable to keep the question to myself any longer.Archer shook his head, but his eyes were serious as they met mine. He reached out, taking my hand, his touch soft despite the weight in his gaze.“No, I’m not angry, Ellie. I just… I need to know what your plan is.”I swallowed, my heart racing a little.“I’m wi

    Ellie.As Julie and I walked out of the royal hospital, I could feel my heart banging loudly in my chest.But just as we stepped through the entrance, we encountered Jacob, who was making his way inside. He bowed respectfully, a warm smile breaking across his face as he greeted us.“Your Highness, Lady Julie,” he said, his tone a mix of formality and friendliness.“Jacob,” I replied, returning his smile. “How are things?”“Busy, as always,” he said with a slight chuckle. “But I can’t complain because everyone is going through it.”“You’re right,” Julie nodded.“Has there been any progress on your end? about Gilly?” I asked and he shook his head.“She wasn’t poisoned, so there’s no antidote she can be given. She wasn’t cursed, so there’s no ritual we can do to lift the curse. I think we just have to let her regain consciousness herself,” He said and I sighed.“Thank you, Jacob,” I told him and with a nod, Julie and I continued on our way, leaving the hospital behind.But even as we wal
