Be My Second Mate or Die Chapter 87
Ellie.I stopped abruptly with furrowed brows, utterly confused.“What’s the matter?” I asked, taking one step closer to the cells.Archer sat at the back of the cell, where even the faintest lights didn’t touch him.“The injury is bad. I’m decaying, I’m dying, and I don’t want you to see me like this.” he groaned painfully as he spoke. He almost didn’t sound like himself.I moved forward, and he growled—albeit weakly.“I don’t care about that. I care about you; if you’re in pain, I’m in pain!” I yelled as a lone tear fell from my eyes, breaking my promise to myself.I promised myself that no matter what happened, or what I faced, I wouldn’t shed a tear, but I might have overestimated myself. Or maybe it was because I didn’t imagine a future where Archer would be in such a situation.I took a deep breath, shutting my eyes, and when I released them, I opened them.“I’ll ensure you’re fine, and we’ll fight that rogue together. You always said it, right? That rogues have no place in the

Ellie.I didn't realize how sick and twisted Raphael was, until I stood behind him in the dungeon, in front of Archer’s cell, in a maid uniform that was at least a size or two smaller than me.It felt like ages since I last wore a maid's uniform when it had only been months. I was so uncomfortable, not because I was wearing the uniform, but because I had to keep pulling the skirt down and the top up, and since they were connected, nothing I did helped my case.“There’s no reason I should be dressed in this!” I whispered to Raphael. He smiled, but he didn’t respond.We were in a serious situation but I still didn’t want Archer to see me dressed in the uniform.“Your Majesty, it’s time to get your injury treated,” Raphael leaned towards the cell and said.Archer didn't respond, so Raphael signaled the nurses and the royal physician to get him. I held my breath as they carried him out of the

Archer.White.Everything was white and cold when I opened my eyes.I attempted to move, but a sharp pain in my side held me still. A sterile scent filled my nose—clean, antiseptic, suffocating. Where am I?White walls, white ceiling, white sheets. Everything was too clean, too sterile, like a nightmare I couldn't escape. It was then that the memories began to return, trickling back with agonizing clarity.Ellie.Raphael.The pain.I remembered the feel of my body weakening, the way the royal nurses had rushed in on Raphael's order to take me. Ellie was crying.A growl formed deep in my throat, but it was no more than a faint rumble. I tried to sit up, but my limbs betrayed me, limp and unresponsive.It was then that the door to the room creaked open, and in walked Jacob, the royal doctor. His expression was grim, though there was the slightest relief in his eyes when he saw me awake."You're finally

Ellie.I tugged at the sleeves of my maid outfit, trying in vain to pull them down. The fabric clung to me, squeezing me in all the wrong places.A sigh slipped through my lips before I could stop it. For two days now, I’d been forced to trail behind Raphael—or rather, the fake Archer—like some kind of pet. Always close, always watching.Ahead of me, Victoria clung to him, her voice sharp and whining. “I don’t understand why she has to come with us everywhere! She ruins the mood.”“As if I want to be here,” I muttered through clenched my teeth, keeping my hands balled into fists at my sides. The urge to snap back at her was strong, but I held it in. I had too much to lose. This was all a means to an end.Archer was safe now, or at least I hoped he was. He was getting treatment—the treatment he desperately needed. As long as Raphael believed I was cooperating, I could survive this nightmare. I co

Ellie.Victoria’s voice hit me the second we stepped out of the mall, grating against my ears like nails on a chalkboard.“I can’t believe this!” she shrieked, her face flushed with fury. Her perfectly manicured hands waved in the air, attracting the stares of passing werewolves who had just witnessed her embarrassing shopping spree. “That cashier must have gotten the total wrong. There’s no way I spent that much!”Raphael walked ahead of us, his stride calm, utterly unconcerned by her tantrum. I stayed a few steps behind him, close enough to catch his every move but far enough not to draw attention to myself. Victoria’s shrill voice filled the air as she stomped behind him, her frustration bubbling over like boiling water.“You could’ve at least helped me cover the cost, Raphael! You humiliated me in front of everyone!”Raphael didn’t break his stride. He didn’t even tur

Ellie.I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of gold and silver. My fingers absently brushed against the cover of the ancient book I’d bought, but it wasn’t the words in its pages that consumed my thoughts. No, it was what Raphael had hinted at about the rogues.When I encountered rogues in Crimson Pack, they had been unwilling to cooperate and only did because they knew what I was capable of. Even while they worked, they had kept their distance, eyes wary and distrustful. I didn’t think much about them because I knew that was their nature, but if there was more to them, I wanted to know. I couldn’t help my curiosity.I glanced at Raphael, but his eyes were on the road. He was quiet. Too quiet. It was as if he could sense the direction of my thoughts, and the questions swirling in my head. He leaned back, his gaze turning lazily toward me.“You’re thinking about the rogues, aren’t you?” His voice broke the silence, smooth and almost amused.I tensed but d

Ellie.Finally alone in my room, I took a deep breath, relishing the silence. Raphael had given me some free time, but I knew it wouldn't last long. For now, I had a small window of time and I needed to make use of it.I sat on the edge of my bed, closing my eyes as I reached out with my mind, using telepathy to figure out where Julie and the squad were. I wasn’t sure exactly where they were but they were in the palace. Focusing on the connection, I opened a mind link with them.“Julie?” I called out, hoping they’d respond quickly.After a few seconds, Tristian’s voice filled my mind, a mix of concern and frustration.“Ellie? Where are you? Are you alright?”“I’m fine, I replied, though it wasn’t entirely true.“I’m in my room but I don’t have much time.”“Ellie, this plan... it’s taking too long. We need to strike now. Every day we wait is a missed opportunity to end this.”I sighed, understanding his urgency but knowing the risks.“I know, but we can’t rush it. The council still has

Ellie.I carefully slipped out of my room, glancing down at the maid’s uniform that was still uncomfortably snug. I hated wearing it, but I couldn’t deny it was the perfect disguise to move unnoticed. Keeping my head low, I moved through the palace, careful not to attract attention.I weaved through the guards and maids, making my way to the kitchen garden, from where I’d exit the palace. My heart raced as I slipped through the doors, unnoticed. I was out.Now, I had to reach the Royal Hospital.Archer was there. My mate. My heart ached at the thought of seeing him again. It felt like I hadn’t seen it for so long when in reality it was just about two days.Two days was too many days of uncertainty, wondering if he was alright. But I was going to see him, and that was all that mattered.I kept my head down as I walked briskly through the palace grounds, trying to blend in with the other workers. My mind raced with thoughts of Archer, of the relief I would feel just to be in his presenc

Be My Second Mate or Die Chapter 121
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
