Mate? Or Die! Chapter 190 A DAUGHTER’s CURSE
ARDAN’s PoVIt was a silent night. Evelyn started to wake up in my arms as I was swaying her back and forth. Her baby-like hands clutched the collar of my shirt. As small as she was, she had no idea the burden she had on her back.“You are safe,” I murmured, tracing the brim of her cheek with my thumb. “Oh, I’ll see to it that you remain like that.”She only breathed gently and deeply in the silence of the night. At that moment, our world was peaceful, as if the turbulences and tragic events which had occurred in the past several months were just a nightmare.That moment did not last long and it was ruined by the appearance of Draven in the tent. He looked rather serious and did not have the usual relaxed character that he usually possessed.“What is it, Draven?” I asked, although deep inside I didn’t know if I really wished to hear what they had to say.He paused for a moment, staring blindly before his gaze shifted to Evelyn. “It’s about your daughter.”Instantly, I stiffened and my

We had rebuild enough that were no longer staying in tents but high rise buildings.I sat comfortably settled behind my desk sifting through maps and reports. The years had not been completely kind to me. I stared at the ceiling for what felt like hours, seventeen years of leading a fractured pack, of raising Evelyn alone, of waiting—always waiting—for Serena to wake.My contemplations were cut short by the appearance of Alpha Joachim. Standing at the entrance, he entered through the doorway, with his face as scowled as ever.“Ardan,” Joachim greeted.“Joachim,” I confirmed, pointing to the seat near me to let him know to sit down. “What brings you here?”Joachim unrolled a parchment and laid it flat on the table. “We must talk about these unpredictable associations we’ve been hearing about. Threats that are outside of our borders are increasing. It is

Ardan PoVSeventeen years. It has been seventeen years of struggle and longing for Serena to regain consciousness. I waited for her, did not lose faith. But in recent days, something inside me changed. The council elders had been clear: Being too concerned of Serena and our family, I was putting the pack at risk. They thought that my leadership had diminished, that I was no longer an Alpha but someone whose wife has just died.And maybe they were right. I had taken a decision which is very painful for any mate – to shut the door on my heart. In my mind, I knew and forced myself to believe that Serena would never wake up from such a state. That was the only option I had because I could not continue with my life the way it was before. Yet that decision had established a barrier between me and my daughter, Evelyn.One day, I stood, observing the hunters as they came back. As I looked into the eyes of each hunter I managed to greet them with a nod; the last one in line was Marcus.At twen

SERENA’S POVMoans, a pleasure driven cry echoing in a secret room. I was with him, Derek, my mate. But these sounds weren’t coming from me.He groaned from satisfaction, but I wasn’t touching him either. No, his pleasure came from Cora, his prostitute wolf. And I was forced to watch them.I was bound to a chair in the corner, watching them mate. Every thrust, every pleasured gasp from Derek, ached me. It was a violation, a reminder of my inability to do nothing, except watch.I watched as Cora sucked him out, deep throating him until she turned red. I watched how roughly Derek handled her. Pulling and grabbing her hair like she was a still object.I was unable to bear the pain of watching my mate mate with Cora, so I squeezed my eyes shut. Suddenly, the sounds ceased, replaced by a satisfied grunt from Derek.My heart raced as I scented Derek slowly approach me. He forcefully took me by the jaw and demanded that I opened my eyes.“Look at me, Omega," he sneered.I forced my eyes open

ARDAN’S POVTraining days with my Beta Thorne, usually excited me. My moves were laser sharp and I’d always won every practice round. But today, my movements were sloppy, sluggish and my focus was scattered.And because of that, it gave way for Thorne to land a blow on my arm, a feat that wouldn't have been possible on any other day.Thorne froze, his eyes widening in surprise. "My King, I—"I held up a hand, silencing him before he could launch into apologies. I was ashamed. "Leave me," I said.Thorne hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowed in concern. "Are you certain, Your Majesty? Perhaps you should—""Alone," I repeated, my voice firmer this time.With a silent bow, Thorne turned to leave, leaving me alone on the training grounds.I headed for the bathroom. When I got there, I stripped off my sweat-drenched training clothes. My reflection in the mirror showed a man sculpted for power - broad shoulders, a chiseled jaw, dark hair. Yet, beneath the facade of strength, anxiety had

SERENA’S POVA throbbing ache in my neck yanked me awake. I blinked open my eyes, the unfamiliar room coming into focus. Where was was I? I looked around the room before looking down at my body.I began to panic as I realized I was lying naked in a bed – a bed that wasn't mine. What the fuck….Glancing beside me, I found a muscular werewolf still asleep. Taking a deeper look I realized it was Joshua, a young member from Derek's pack who I had seen a few times before.My blood ran cold. If anyone came in I would a walking corpse. But I don’t remember how I ended up here. Had Derek… No, that couldn't be right."Joshua?" I croaked, my voice was hoarse.He bolted upright as if stung and his eyes widened with terror. "Serena! What…what happened?"I narrowed my gaze, my brows were furrowed, “I don’t know you tell me!” I yelled.But before he could offer any further explanation, the door to the room slammed open. Leading the surge was Derek, his face was masked with fake fury.Close behind h
Last Updated : 2024-08-12Mate? Or Die! Chapter 4 The box
ARDAN’S POVDerek did not fail to hide the confusion on his face. Why would the Lycan King, the most powerful shifter alive, intervene on a mere omega’s behalf? I ignored the stunned faces around me, focusing solely on the face sitting upright on the bed.“Put your clothes on," I commanded.My gaze then shifted to the wolf next to Serena on the bed, Joshua, I recalled. "And you," I said with a low snarl, "get out. Now."Joshua didn't need telling twice. He scrambled off the bed, hastily and fearfully. Still, Serena remained covered in the sheet, using it as a flimsy shield to hide her nakedness.Cora couldn't resist a disdainful snort. "Well, aren't you just the picture of grace," she said to Serena. "The Lycan King himself asks you to put some fucking clothes on, and here you are, clutching a sheet to your bare chest like a lost pup."My head snapped towards Cora. "If you don't want to end up as a decoration on the wall like your beta," I warned, "learn to control your fucking tongue

SERENA’S POVThe door slammed shut behind him, leaving me alone in the silence. Tears welled up in my eyes, I felt utterly powerless, trapped in a cage.I couldn’t let Derek break me. I would survive. And when I turned twenty, when I unlocked the secrets of the box, I would find a way to my freedom. A way to avenge my parents and escape the clutches of this monstrous man.It was a long shot, a desperate hope, but it was all I had. Until then, I would play the part of the meek servant, bide my time, and wait for my chance.I straightened the simple dress one last time, forcing myself to take a deep breath. Tears had left their mark on my cheeks, but I quickly wiped them away.Stepping out of the room, I made my way towards the conference room. My heart pounded as I walked only because I wanted to meet King Ardan with utmost composure.As I entered, my gaze met Ardan. He stood by the window with his back to me. He turned upon hearing the door open, wearing an indifferent look on his fac

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 189 THE BIRTH OF A NEW ERA
Ardan’s PoVIt was already the middle of day when the sun was setting over the camp. Most wolves were already out hunting for food and more supplies. Serena and I walked side by side with her arm linked through mine. Her stomach had gotten big. It had been months of quiet, a stillness that was rare and cherished in our pack..“It actually feels kinda suspicious that it has been so quiet”, Serena spoke.“Don’t jinx it,” I joked, holding her hand gently.She laughed.”Have you given more consideration to the names?” she asked lifting her head slightly to look at me.“For the baby?” I pretended to think deeply. “If it’s a girl, I was thinking it would be good if we could name her Evelyn.”Serena came to a halt and looked at me with a warm smile manifesting on her lips. “Evelyn?”I nodded. “It feels... right. A name that conveys strength along with elegance.”“And if it’s a boy?” she asked further, raising her eyebrow with a teasing smirk on her lips.I grinned. “Ardan Jr., of course.”Se
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 188 THE FINAL DAYS
Serena’s PoVIt was still early morning and the weather was chilly as I came out; my hands went towards my enlarged belly. It had become a much quieter camp in the following weeks after the annihilation of Gloria’s magic as well as the removal of the plague. For the first time in a long time, wolves from Ardan’s pack, the rogues, and the refugees joined each other in constructing homes and clearing wreckage. However, I could not feel at ease; it was as if a storm was brewing in the background.“Serena,” Rachel’s voice called for me from behind. I turned to see her walking towards me with a basket of herbs in her hands. Her cheeks were red, and I could not even let myself not notice how she was looking at Zone, who was busy with strengthening the outer line of defence.“Rachel,” I said with a smile, pointing at Zone. “You should go talk to him.”She blushed, negating the statement with subtle head movements. “I am overwhelmed by the work load at the moment.”“Rachel,” I said in a stern
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 187 A NEW WAY OF LIFE
Serena’s PoVThe dawn was breaking and the first light of the day fell on the camp in a bright golden colour. The air finally felt like there was no longer a huge weight on top of us, a burden that had been there for years. The witches had been defeated and plague had been eradicated, as if the world had reached a sigh of relief. However, it does not end with this triumph, but instead, the process of recovering begins here.I was near the edge of the camp when I saw members of different packs helping each other gather branches, stones and other materials to form a brand new shelter for the rogue pack as a form of thanks. They sang in melody as they did. My fingers touched my belly, as if to reassure me of the developing life within me.When I considered the fact that I would soon have a child, I felt an odd combination of something. These are the emotions, which I associate with fear, uncertainty, and an unshakable desire to shield those I love. The truth
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 186 THE FINAL BATTLE
Serena’s POVThe forest was around us as we made our way toward the witches’ stronghold. There was tension in the air and every sound was amplified by the gravity of what lay ahead. Rachel walked beside me, her face was pale yet she had determination written all over it.Behind us, Ardan and Zone exchanged quiet words with a lowered and serious tone.I clutched my stomach instinctively, the life growing inside me was a constant reminder of how much was at stake. My thoughts were only of doubt and fear. Could I lead them into battle knowing I might not return? And what if Gloria’s spirit was right—what if my child was destined to bring destruction instead of unity?“Serena,” Ardan’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. He had moved closer with piercing gaze locking onto mine. “We’ll get through this. Together.”I nodded, though I wasn’t completely certain. I wanted to believe him, but Gl
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 185 Uniting the Wolves
Serena’s POVThe next morning, I jogged along the perimeter of the camp. My thoughts were filled only with uncertainty. Every step felt like an attempt to outrun the guilt of Zone’s sacrifice and the prophecy Draven had shared.My body ached, my Wolfmother instincts sharpened with every passing day, but I pushed myself harder. The pack needed me to be strong, even when I wasn’t sure I could be.I slowed down near the eastern border, catching my breath as the first rays of sunlight appeared. That’s when I heard it—a low, labored groan from the forest. My heart stopped.“Zone?” I whispered.I ran towards the sound, my legs moved before my mind could fully process the possibility. And then I saw him.Zone staggered out of the trees, his body covered in wounds and dried blood. His clothes were torn, and his usually sharp eyes were clouded with pain, but he was alive.“Zone!” I ran towa
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 184 A HEAVY BURDEN
Serena’s PoVI stood at the edge of the camp Joachim had given us guests to stay. The plague had taken its toll on us, leaving everyone on edge. They were nervous and even unbelieving of better days. I rubbed my temple, worried that one day, their feelings might be correct.“Serena,” Zone called out, breaking me away from my rancid thoughts. “The patrol spotted movement in the forest.”“What kind of movement?” I asked.“Infected wolves,” he said grimly.It’s almost like we were now used to this life so it was not a surprise to me. “We’ll handle it,” I said grimly.“I just wonder when these crazy attacks would stop. I’m hella tired of them I swear to you.” Zone confessed.“I don’t know that answer to your question, Zone. I wish I knew.” I replied tiredly.When we arrived at the forest, the attack came faster than any
