Be My Second Mate or Die Chapter 99
Ellie.It had been a week since the banquet, and the whirlwind of meetings and endless paperwork had consumed Archer's time completely.It seemed like every moment was filled with another obligation—diplomatic issues, pack matters, rogues still being dealt with. I could barely catch a glimpse of him between all his meetings, but I understood. He was handling the aftermath of Raphael's decisions, and I had my own responsibilities. The rogues were gone, but the kingdom was still in recovery mode.Unfortunately for me, I'd been thrown into what felt like a never-ending loop of etiquette lessons. Julie, ever the perfect guide, had been at my side through it all, helping me navigate the complexities of my new role as Luna. I’d never cared much for etiquette before, but now it was a necessity, one I wasn’t able to escape. Being Queen came with its burdens.As we walked down the palace hallway toward yet another meeting, I couldn’t help but sigh. Julie looked over at me, a small smile tuggin

Archer.The day had finally arrived. I stood in my room, leaning against the wall, staring out of the large window that overlooked the bustling courtyard below. The entire kingdom was alive with excitement for my wedding—a moment I never thought would come, especially not like this. If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be standing here, preparing to marry Ellie, I would’ve laughed in their face. Marriage was never part of my plans, much less to a mate. And yet, now, I couldn’t imagine a future without her.Yet here I was, standing on the precipice of something monumental. A future I hadn't planned for but now couldn't imagine without her. I'd spent so long without a mate, that the thought of finding my mate just to stay alive felt like a chore for me, but Ellie–Ellie had changed everything.And now the thought of her not being mine sent a firestorm of rage and fear coursing through me."You look like you're about to wage war, not get married,” Tristian chuckled from behind me.

Ellie.I had been awake for almost twenty minutes, but I couldn’t move. Archer’s arm was draped over me, his grip firm, like he never wanted to let me go. His warmth radiated through me, and I smiled, thinking about how different things were now. It was the day after our wedding, and I was officially Queen Luna of the kingdom.I was still reeling from what he told me while we both lay in each other’s arms.“It’s gone. You broke it.”Those words rang in my mind, and my chest tightened. Archer was out of every visible trouble. He was fully healed and his curse was broken, which meant he had no limitations whatsoever. I was extremely happy for him. For us.I glanced at Archer’s peaceful face. He looked so calm, so different from the powerful and commanding Lycan King everyone feared. I couldn’t help but trace the line of his jaw with my finger before nudging him gently."Archer," I whispered. "If you don’t wake up, we won’t have time to get everything done today."He groaned in response,

Ellie.A lot of things could go wrong, but I didn’t realize it early, because things went on like they were supposed to; Easy but chaoticThe week had been a whirlwind of activity, moving from one pack to the next, meeting Alpha after Alpha. Archer and I had barely had a moment to ourselves, and the responsibilities weighing on both our shoulders felt heavier with each passing day. With the witches still out there, lurking in the shadows, we had to keep every pack on alert, because the rogues may have been dealt with, but only because the witches threw them under the bus. Now we were right where we started with them.I felt Archer’s tension growing with each new meeting, his desire to protect the kingdom burning hotter than ever. He was always calm on the surface, but I could feel the storm brewing inside him because it mirrored my own.Every pack we visited, we left with stern warnings about strengthening their borders, watching for signs of witches or witchcraft. We didn’t have time

Ellie.The bad thing at least waited another day before everything went south.Leaving Crimson Pack felt bittersweet.As we passed through the gates, I found myself wanting to stay just a little longer, like always, after leaving them with the promise that I’d return soon for the official Alpha installation ceremony.I truly wanted to stay, but duty called.Tristian and Gilly’s wedding was just a day away, and there was no way Archer and I could miss it.The palace was already abuzz with excitement when we arrived.By the next morning, the excitement had reached its peak. I felt the energy in the air as I walked through the halls with Julie.“I've missed you!” Julie said, linking her arm through mine,“If you ever plan on leaving the palace for that long again, you better take me with you,” she said, tapping my arm with her free hand.I laughed, shaking my head.“I’ll be sure to pack an extra bag for you next time,” then I gave her a teasing look, “But don’t act like It’ll not be your

Ellie.I followed the guards as they half-dragged Gilly up to her room.My heart was still racing from what had happened, but the shock of it all felt distant—like I was moving in a daze. Beside me, Julie walked with quick, nervous steps, her eyes darting to Gilly, who seemed to drift between awareness and something else.“What the hell is going on?” Julie’s voice broke the silence, and I could hear the tremble beneath her words.“I’m not sure either,” I replied, the weight of uncertainty heavy in my chest, “But we need to get to the bottom of this.”Julie glanced at me, worry etched deep into her features. “I just hope Tristian will be okay.”I sighed, my thoughts flashing back to the moment Gilly had plunged the silver needle into him. “Me too.”When we reached Gilly’s room, Julie and I realized the guards had taken Gilly in already. But as soon as we stepped inside, the sight before us stopped me cold.One of the guards was on the ground, dead. His throat had been slashed, his bloo

Ellie.The moment those words left Gilly’s mouth, I knew I wasn’t going to get what I needed from the witch easily.No, this wasn’t going to be as simple as demanding answers. The witch inside her was toying with us, using Gilly like a puppet. If I wanted the truth, I’d have to push harder.Ignoring the hesitation building in my chest, I stepped forward, grabbing Gilly’s face roughly, forcing her to meet my gaze. Her eyes—those weren’t Gilly’s eyes anymore. They were cold, empty, and completely taken over by the witch who controlled her. I could feel Julie’s nervous presence beside me, her uncertainty hanging in the air.“Isn’t that too harsh?” Julie asked, her voice tinged with concern.I shook my head, not taking my eyes off Gilly.“No, this witch isn’t going to talk unless we make her.” I gritted my teeth, tightening my grip on Gilly’s face.“What’s your plan?” I demanded, my voice hard and unwavering.But the witch just smirked at me through Gilly’s lips, the cruelness in her expr

Ellie.“There has to be another option!” one of the council members spoke out, his voice echoing in the vast room.I shifted uneasily in my seat, trying to keep my expression neutral, though my heart pounded. The council chamber was colder than usual today, or maybe it was just my nerves making it feel that way.I glanced at Archer, seated beside me, his posture relaxed as if the tense discussion didn’t concern him at all.He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest, watching the elders argue like a predator biding its time. His eyes were half-lidded, but I could feel the heat of his simmering temper, ready to boil over at any moment.The council had been at it for nearly an hour now, their voices bouncing off the stone walls as they debated the risk of both the king and queen leaving the palace at the same time. Over a flower, no less.“It’s unheard of,” Elder Morlen grumbled, his bony hand waving through the air, “We can’t have the king and queen gallivanting together o

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
