Be My Second Mate or Die Chapter 40
The atmosphere and everyone’s initial opinion of me changed drastically after the decree was passed and sent out two days ago. Everywhere I went, wolves said hi to me, and even tried becoming friends with me. The Omegas working as staff in the villa, always did things for me, like giving me an extra portion of food and offering to clean my room. I can’t lie, I liked it, because it was the first time I was receiving such treatment.“Earth to Ellie,” Julie snapped her fingers in my face. I shook my head and blinked immediately, an instinctive reaction, as I returned to reality.Julie and I were currently looking through her dresses for our graduation, which was to take place the next day. Julie was kind enough to lend me something of hers after I told her that most of my stuff was still in my former pack–of course, I left out the fact that I used to be mated to the alpha of that pack and basically, everything that happened afterward. Julie believed Archer took me from my former pack bec

Ellie.“Hey, why does your eyes look so…lifeless? Didn’t you sleep last night?” Julie took my arm as we walked to the hall, where our graduation was to take place.Julie had sent a dress–the button-down dress–to me late last night with the help of an omega staff, and even with how beautiful it looked on me, with my hair laid down, I guess it wasn’t enough to distract Julie from the bags under my eyes.“I did,” I opened my eyes wide, “I guess I can’t wait for everything to be over, so I can leave here,” I told her.“Well, I’m glad you feel that way because I was informed earlier that you, Tristian, and I would perform a graduation task today after the ceremony,” She said.“Alpha Tristian? How is it possible he’s graduating with us? I barely saw him attend lectures,” I tilted my head to the side.“Tristian took night lectures, he arranged with the instructors because of his busy life, I guess,” she said with a one-sided shrug and I nodded.“What is the task though? The one we’re to perf

Ellie.The tension in the air was palpable for more reasons than one, and try as I might to detach myself from the situation I was in, I couldn’t.I was sat in the same car as Archer, beside him, while he spread his legs, and I tightened mine to keep away from making any sort of contact with him. I’d originally sat at the front seat, next to the driver, but when Archer arrived, he demanded I sit behind with him, thus putting me in the situation I was now in.Neither of us said a word to the other because there was nothing to say since we rode as King and guard. Honestly, even if we didn’t, there’d still be nothing to say. He had made his decision, and I made mine; which was to focus on my duty and nothing else, just like I had all those weeks ago.The journey to Coral Pack was a long, rocky one, which I didn’t expect. I mean I expected the ‘long’ part but not the ‘rocky’ party. It wasn’t that the road was entirely bad, but it wasn’t leveled, allowing for exaggerated movements on the c

Ellie.“You’re her right? Ellie Fowler?” Alpha Black asked, his eyes peering into mine. I gulped hard as I stared back at him, nodding slowly.“It is a pleasure to meet the she-wolf who has made a difference.” there was a smile on his face, but I feared it was only a mask. Something told me his asking was not because of the scholarship, but something else. Perhaps Victoria told him I was the cause of His Majesty sending her away.“Won’t you take my hand?” He asked, his eyes darting from his stretched-out arm–which I just noticed was there– to me. I placed a smile on my face too and took it, hating the feel of his hand on mine.“I don’t have time for this, Alpha Black,” His Majesty barked bitterly. Alpha Black smirked, then nodded, and led the way.“Be careful around him, Ellie,” Alpha Tristian leaned toward me to say as we began walking and I nodded. I didn&rs

Ellie.“Are you certain we’re allowed to do this?” I asked Alpha Tristian the further we walked away from the mansion, and into town.“Nope, but I need a drink, and I can’t drink alone,” he shrugged with a smile. I scoffed and shook my head, walking beside him until we arrived at a bar.The building was small and dim, with one light coming from behind the counter, which showcased all the drinks they had. I liked that, but Alpha Tristian suggested we sit as far away from the light as possible because we–me especially–weren’t supposed to be there, so we took our seats at one of the small found tables, big enough for two.“I’ve never had a drink before, so I don’t know what to order,” I told Alpha Tristian after we were settled. He smiled and nodded.“I know. I’ll handle that.” He said and went to the bar, only to return a few minutes later with two drinks

Ellie.The evening was fine, the air carrying a gentle warmth as the sun began to settle over the palace grounds. Lights flickered on in the grand hall, casting a soft glow that contrasted the blue of the sky. The palace was alive with the hum of excitement and anticipation, of the engagement banquet of Victoria Black and His Majesty.As I approached the main palace building, my heart ached. His Majesty was my mate, bound to me, yet here I was, walking into a celebration of his engagement to another. I forced a smile, determined to mask the turmoil inside me. The grand entrance was bustling with guests, their laughter and chatter echoing through the halls.Among the arriving guests, I spotted Vito and Nadia, and my lips dried Vito's eyes lit up with a predatory glint as they landed on me. His smile was laced with a twisted satisfaction, and I braced myself for the encounter."Ellie," Vito drawled, his gaze raking over me in a manner that made my skin craw

Ellie.As we made our way into the main hall, I couldn't shake the unease that lingered. Moonlight streamed through the tall, arched windows, casting an ethereal glow on the marble floors. Chandeliers hung beautifully from the vaulted ceiling. The tables were draped in silken cloths with equally adorned chairs, for the guests. The beautiful decor and the elegance of the guests were a stark contrast to the turmoil within me.His Majesty walked in, exuding a presence that commanded attention. Victoria Black was on his arm, her beauty radiant and undeniable. Together, they looked like something from a fairytale, a perfect match in their exquisite outfits. Victoria’s gown was a masterpiece, flowing and elegant, adorned with shimmering details that caught the light with every movement. His Majesty’s suit was equally impressive, tailored to perfection, accentuating his powerful form. My heart twisted with a mixture of longing and pain.Victoria Black stood

Ellie."Fine, I'll help you," I hissed, pushing him away. Vito's presence was like a thorn in my side, with his body pressed too close to mine, and I hated that the only way to guarantee my parents' belongings wouldn’t be destroyed was to comply with his stupid demands. I was completely fine with imagining he didn’t exist anymore, but here he was tormenting me like he usually did.Vito smirked, leaning in as if to say something else, but was interrupted by a sudden presence. Theo stood before us, a frown etched on his face."Ellie, His Majesty has requested you resume your post by his side immediately."I glanced over to where His Majesty stood. Sure enough, his eyes were locked on me, a huge scowl marring his features. It was hard to believe this was supposed to be his engagement party. The tension between us was palpable."Good evening, Theo," Vito greeted with a mocking smile, but Theo ignored him, his focus solely on me.I quickly made my way to His Majesty's side, feeling the wei

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

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

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

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
