Mate? Or Die! Chapter 19 A GIFT FROM ANOTHER PACK
Serena's POVSerena's POVThere is probably nothing more embarrassing than falling to the ground in an event, one that is packed with people of high status in society.Especially when you are way below them, you become nothing but a subject of ridicule and rumor.Everybody's irritated eyes were fixed on me, and I felt like they should open and I should hide inside it, I wanted to disappear. I felt so pathetic like I was just a joke.It was as though the spirit of shame hovered around me and followed me everywhere I went.I bit myself. Maybe I shouldn't have come here at all, maybe I should have remained in the room where Zone left me peacefully.Maybe I shouldn't have come out to witness my mate announcing another she-wolf as his future queen.The shame and embarrassment dug deep into my flesh, but the pain my heart felt caused my entire being to shake like a quake.Was I cursed? Why was I even asking again when the obvious truth was not far from my mind?Then I remember that I begged

Serena's POVThe way fate plays games with everyone is unpredictable. What you thought would be might even be far from reality. And the one you least expected might be what the universe has in store for you. The sad thing is that you keep feeling like a curse. Just like I felt every time something negative happened around me. Even though I had given up mentally on the hope that Arden would see me for who I was and learn to appreciate my being somewhere in my heart, I still wished it was not valid. I thought he was punishing me, and he didn't want Sylvia or any other she-wolfs but me.But looking, he already announced publicly that Sylvia would be his queen. There was nothing to hope for anymore. My faith died instantly.Arden had told Alpha Zone's parents he wouldn't let me leave the palace. That means there would be no way out for me again. I gave up dignity and accepted defeat. “I am sorry, Alphas. I apologize for my behavior; I do not mean to cause disruption intentionally,” I plea
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 21 TAKEN TO THE PRISON
Serena's POV Although Arden had sexually forced himself on me several times, which my body adjusted to as time went on because he was my mate, I never thought it would get to a place where he would get physical with me. Although my eyes went blur immediately I was slapped, the pain I felt was nothing compared to the shock that took charge of my being. I never expected him to hit me. I fell to the ground immediately, holding my cheek with my hands. I could not look up at him for a while, although they knew what happened, the maids were making fun of me as everyone started laughing. I guess there was no end to my humiliation in that palace. “How dare you? You filthy slut! Do you dare lay your dirty hands on my future queen? You are in trouble!” Arden's thunderous voice echoed across the living room and there was total silence. “I promise, I didn't do anything” I explained with a shaky voice, my eyes fixed on the floor as I was too afraid to look up at him. “Goodness, your audacious ch
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 22 Serena is dead
Arden's POVAlthough something doesn't feel right about my decision to punish Serena, I still proceeded to inform Emma about it.Somehow, I felt Sylvia had lied against her, but I had to do what I thought was the right thing to do. It was just to save face before Sylvia.However, instead of putting Serena in the general prison, I ordered them to put her in a private room.If she was gone for a while, by the time she returns everything would have calm down. And I had intended to keep her of everyone's focus for the time being.The prison seemed like the only safe place for her to be. That way, she doesn't get bullied by anyone, and she would not provoke me, and I could keep her off Zone's sight.I had specifically asked that they treat her well and must not join other prisoners to do any hard labor.The whole family was already waiting for me at the dinning room. The aroma of whatever the chef had prepared was splashed in the atmosphere.I could not wait to see what it was. Just when I
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 23 I am dying
Serena's POVEveryone is a saint until their secret is exposed to the world. Just because we haven't seen a flaw with someone does not mean they are with no blame.I have faced continuous humiliation both in Derek's pack and here in the place all because of the false image Derek and Cora painted about me.I have been asking myself that would things be different between Arden and If he had not walked in on me in that state? Would he treat me with respect?It is not so regular for a King to pay attention to a mere maid. So I understood why everyone would think that I seduced Arden. But he brought me here, not just as a maid, but I was his mate.I did not understand why he refused to take responsibility for his actions. If he did the right things, other werewolves in the palace would not misunderstand me, and I won't be falsely accused.It was not a game of blame, I just thought as a responsible adult, one needs to be accountable for certain things.“Here is your room for the time being.

WILL SHE MAKE IT?Arden's POVI have never experienced such panic before. Alf keeps trying to calm me down. Soon Beta came over to the hospital too.I stood aside in shock as I watched everyone rushing into the ICU. I was becoming restless. I rushed towards the door, trying to get in too.“I'm sorry Your Majesty, but you can't go in. A family shouldn't do that” The security guards restricted me.I was aware of that principle. I would be disrespecting myself if I had argued with them. So I composed myself and left the door area.Although the ICU was built with glass, it was impossible to see through it or know what was going on inside. I was restless. It felt as though my world had crumbled.“Your Majesty, you have to calm down. She will be alright” Beta comforted.“I believe you. But what I don't understand is why anyone would want to poison Serena. I specifically asked them to look after her in the prison. How can they be so careless?”“I passed the order for everyone related to the
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 25 She has eloped
Arden's POV “Where are you headed to, your Highness?” Beta asked with curiosity splashed all over his face. I was getting tired of all his questions. There was just no time to answer irrelevant questions. “You already know where I am going. Why are you delaying me with questions? Do you have any motives I should be worried about?” Everyone was now a suspect to me, I felt whatever happened was a result of a collaborative effort. It was not only was person that carried out the evil act. I pushed him aside and walked towards the disciplinary centre. I knew it was already late, the time was 11 pm. They would probably be asleep. It was fine by me, I would get to find out how seriously they took their job or they just do whatever they wanted. The driver drove the car after me and I hopped in. Soon, we arrived there and it was quiet like a deadly zone. “Where is the investigation room?” I asked with a cold voice.“On the last floor, Your Majesty!” The chief guard replied quickly. “Goo
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 26 A missing footage
Arden's POV“Your Majesty, we have searched everywhere, we are unable to locate the maid” the chief guard shamelessly reported to me, an hour later.“Hahaha! Are you telling me now that a suspect successfully escaped from the palace under your watch? Does that mean your position is just for ceremony and our lives are under threat?”“I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I will do better…from..” Before he could finish his words, I had landed a hard slap on his face.If Serena's case did not happen, we wouldn't have known the danger we lived in. This was the royal palace, even close relatives were actively after the throne and would go to any length, not to of an enemy that was not willing to hide away.This single incident had shown the level of his incompetence, and how porous the security system of the royal palace was.It means that anyone can go in and out of the palace without fear of security restrictions, because no one would check them in. It doesn't even matter if they had good intentions

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 171 HALF TRUTH
Serena’s PoVThe council hall was packed that it was suffocating. I could hear murmurs of discontent from the pack swirling around me, growing louder by the second. I was nervous.Caden stood at the centre of the room. His posture was commanding and his voice was calm yet firm as he spoke. “We need strong leadership now more than ever. Ardan has failed to protect this pack from rogue attacks, failed to root out the threats within. And now, with evidence against him, how can you trust him to lead you all?”A few wolves nodded in agreement. Others exchanged uncertain glances as if their loyalty to Ardan clashed with the doubts by Caden’s words.I stood between them all, caught in a storm I hadn’t anticipated. Zone and Rachel flanked me with grim expressions.“You don’t have to decide right now,” Zone whispered in a low tone. “Take a moment to think this through.”But there was no time. The pack was waiting for a decision. Their eyes were locked on me.“If we don’t act now,” Caden contin
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 170 ARDAN’s DISCOVERY
ARDAN’s PoVI paced back and forth within the war room. My mind was consumed by a single name—Caden. Ever since his arrival, things had slowly begun changing. My pack doubted my abilities, his growing influence, it all just sounds sinister.“Ardan.”Draven called out, pulling me away from my thoughts. I turned to see him leaning against the doorway with his face as grim as mine.“We need to talk,” I said, gesturing for him to close the door.He complied and stepped into the room. “What is it?”“It’s Caden,” I began in a low tone. “Something doesn’t feel right. I grew up with him but now I do not know him and I don’t know whether to trust him or not.”Draven tilted his head, studying me carefully. “Why now?”I hesitated as I struggled to put my suspicions into words. “It’s not just his behaviour. It’s everything. The way the pack looks to him, the way he’s always in the right place at the right time. And then there’s Serena. He’s too close to her.”Draven narrowed his eyes. “I replayed
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 169 THE GROWING DIVIDE
It was the third day since Ardan and I had that argument. I sat alone under a tree in silence.My thoughts were a tangled mess. I had begin to doubt Ardan’s leadership, the whole accusations against Caden, and the guilt of knowing the pack was slowly fracturing. For the first time in my life, I felt truly lost, even with Ardan by my side.“Serena?”I turned to see who was calling only to see Caden standing a few feet away. I could see worry in his face. “I thought I might find you out here,” he said, stepping closer to me.I sighed, brushing a hand through my hair. “What do you want, Caden?”“To help,” he replied simply, sitting down beside me. “You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders lately. Maybe you need someone to lean on for a change.”I opened my mouth to send him away, but the words refused to come. The truth was, he wasn’t wrong. All that was taking pl
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 168 BETRAYAL IN THE RANKS
I was in the war room checking the maps for any loophole that could be causing the attacks. I know I didn’t fully believe Caden and if he turns out to be the one behind all of this, he is damn good at playing mind games.It was then I heard the shriek. I rushed outside to see what was happening. The rogue attack came without warning, tearing through the southern sector of our territory in the dead of night. Wolves howled combined with the cries of fear and anger. By the time we reached the site, the damage had already been done—several pack members injured, and one critically wounded.The aftermath left a heavy tension hanging over the pack. Whispers began to spread, doubts began creeping into the minds of those who had once been steadfast in their loyalty.“They’re targeting us too easily,” one voice murmured.“Maybe Ardan’s not as strong as we thought,” another added.I clenched my fists as I walked
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 167 ARDAN’s CONFESSION
Serena’s PoVIt was pretty early in the morning and the sun rose behind the main training grounds. From where I was perched above, I could see the young wolves fighting and running around as Caden supervised them. His orders were precise but motivating and he seemed quiet but authoritative.Every day, he trained them relentlessly. I couldn’t help but wonder why he pushed them so hard. Surely, we had enough seasoned warriors to hold the borders and defend the pack. These young ones—barely teenagers, deserved a chance to enjoy their youth.Once the session ended, I made my way down the hill to where Caden was standing and wiping sweat from his brow. He spotted me approaching and gave me a nod with a grin.“Good morning, Alpha,” he said, teasing me.I folded my arms, tilting my head as I spoke to him. “Caden, I’ve been watching you train these kids every day. Why do you push them so hard? We already have capable warriors.”He shrugged, leaning on the hilt of a practice sword. “You can ne
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 166 TENSIONS AND DOUBTS
Serena’s PoVIt was the next morning already. I sat on the edge of the bed, interlocking my fingers within my laps. Ardan stood by the window with tense shoulders. His gaze was distant as he stared out at the pack grounds.I took a deep breath, bringing myself to speak. “Ardan,” I began softly.He didn’t turn around. His posture was rigid.“I wanted to say I’m sorry,” I continued. “I shouldn’t have accused Caden. I let my doubts get the better of me and now I understand how much he means to you.”Ardan had not said a word to me since he woke up this morning. I noticed he was uncomfortable. His usual demeanour was gone and replaced by something else that I couldn’t quite place.I shout him a dirty look, and getting to my feet, I moved over to where he sat and stood beside him. “What’s wrong?” I asked, studying his face.“Nothing,” he said curtly without looking me in the eyes.“Ardan,” I said more firmly, “I know something’s bothering you. Talk to me.”He closed his mouth firmly and fo
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 165 TROUBLING TRUTH
Ardan’s PoVThe rain had started already as my mate and I were tangled in the sheets. It had been quite sometime since we both had gotten this intimate, yet as we kissed, I could tell something was bothering Serena.“What’s wrong? Is it about Caden?” I asked but she didn’t answer. Instead, she pulled me in for another kiss. We kissed for a while but I didn’t feel any rhythm. It felt forced.“Okay, what’s really going on?” I asked.Serena sighed and finally spoke. “How close are you to Caden?” She asked.“He was my childhood best friend. Why?” I asked, curious. She went silent again.“Hmm?” I murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek.Serena hesitated, biting her lip, as though she were unsure of whether she should speak at all. Finally, she exhaled again. “I need to tell you something about Caden.”“What about him?” I asked calmly.She sat up and pulled the covers around herself. “I don’t want you to think I’m trying to put a rift between you two. He’s your friend, and I know
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 164 THE HIDDEN ATTACK
The morning sir was cold and the cloud looked like it was going to rain soon. I sat at the head of the war table with folded arms as I listened to Ardan outline the patrol schedules for the coming week. His voice was steady and reassuring—something I needed more than I cared to admit.“The northern border patrols will overlap every two hours,” Ardan explained, marking the map with strokes. “Zone and Rachel will lead the first sweep, and we’ll keep fresh warriors rotating. If there’s anything out of place, we’ll know.”I nodded, satisfied with the plan. “It’ll hold for now. I just want our wolves to feel safe again.”Ardan leaned back in his chair, watching me carefully. “They will, Serena. We are doing the right thing.”I offered him a smile, though it felt strained. The pack had been walking a fine line between recovery and exhaustion, and despite my best efforts, the tension was still palpable. It had been days since the witches’ promises, and though the rogue attacks had quieted, p
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 163 ALPHA CADEN
Caden had been in the pack for only a few days, and already, his presence was evident. He was charming, competent, and above all, respectful. Where others folded under pressure or demanded their worth be recognised, Caden offered his help with an effortless grace, winning people over with ease.And that alone made me wary.I watched from the balcony as he sparred with a group of young warriors in the training grounds below. He was more than a visiting Alpha lending aid; he was a man used to being in control. Our people admired him, I could see it in their faces. He gave them clear instructions, shouted encouragement, and moved among them like he’d always belonged.“Are you planning to glower at him all morning, or do you want me to fetch you a chair?”Ardan’s voice startled me. He leaned against the doorway to the balcony, arms crossed and a slight smirk on his face. I shot him a look, but he didn’t budge.“I&rsq
