Mate? Or Die! Chapter 24 Will she make it?
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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 27 The real culprit is here
Arden's POVI left the control room, tired, defeated and exhausted. There was no right word to describe how I was feeling.I head back to the Manor, it was quite like no one has ever stepped foot into it. I went in quietly and had a warm shower and then I laid down on my bed.My mind was blank. So much has happened in one day. I was torn between mixed feelings, and the series of discoveries concerning the faulty security operation in the palace.If my family finds out, they would be thrown into panic and the issue would even become more ambiguous. What was bothering more than anything was the fact that if our enemies found out about the porousness of the palace security system, they would want to take advantage of that.How can I be so sure that they were not even aware? At least a lot of things that had happened during the day had shown me that something was not right somewhere. How do I protect my family?As the Lycan King, it was my responsibility to protect the affairs of the wolf
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 28 Does it hurt anywhere
Serena's POV‘You have no reason to give up as long as you have the privilege each day' I this from somewhere I can't recall again. But whenever I think deeply about life, and the happenings around me, this has been what kept me on my feet.The last thing I remembered was crawling to the door area before I passed out.I felt a sharp pain around my abdomen, and my head was banging from a headache. My body was not mine. All that I could feel was pain.My nose was feeling weak and attacked by a strange smell hanging arrogantly in the air, one that was not familiar and could never be perceived somewhere else except where it was meant to be.I opened my tired sleepy eyes slightly and I was sure it was not a familiar room. The room was packed with unfamiliar machines like I was in a factory.I tried to look around, I was in the hospital gown, lying down on the kind of mattress I had never seen before. I was in the hospital. I tried to get up but I failed. I was too weak to do so.How did I
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 29 She is awake
Sylvia was one sly fox. Who would have thought that she was capable of doing such a thing? I had the urge to plug out her eyes, or her heart and place it in her hand.No one has ever dared to challenge me in any capacity until. The truth is, I felt challenged by Sylvia's actions.However, instead of reacting negatively, I decided to direct my focus on strengthening my empire.I had summoned all the security guards in the palace, they were placed under observation and probation. It would be a secret operation.My goal was to fish out every weak individual who might be a liability to us someday and to return the palace to the power centre it used to be.Until I achieve what I intended to do with Sylvia, I will continue to act neutral around her. I can't believe she had already attempted to kill someone when she had not even spent a week in the palace.“I want a mini control room prepared in one of the rooms in the Manor. No one should not know about this” I said to Beta.“Also, I want m
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 30 A MEANS TO AN END
Arden's POVSylvia's beauty was divine. Her body stood out among all other women. She was the perfect figure for the status of the Queen.But in all honesty, that was not the reason why she was picked. There was more to her presence in the palace. She had a role to play which was unknown to her. She was just a means to an end.To obtain more information from B Pack, I had to endure her chatter. She doesn't know when to stop talking, more like that was the only thing she knew how to do well.I was never comfortable talking to her, even though I could not conceal it completely, I was trying my best to put up with her. She was too forward and that was a big turn off for me.However, I had to endure all her characters, including the crime she committed lately. She was not aware that I knew that she was the culprit.Although, Sylvia was not aware that I was using her to get her father's plan. But I knew that sooner or later I would get whatever Information I needed from her due to her talk
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 31 THIS MIGHT BE THE KEY TO MY FREEDOM
Serena's POVSince I recovered and returned from the hospital, everyone has been gentle around me. I thought I could finally have peace of mind and live my life quietly in this palace since there was no hope that I could ever escape.But I was wrong. There was a limit to how nice they would continue to be, and there was someone who seemed to dine and wine with wickedness. The person was Sylvia.She had summoned me to her residence like the last time. And she was rude and mean to me. As usual, she poured the water she had in her on my face.Arden, who has been avoiding me since my return suddenly showed up, and once again, without asking what had happened, he slapped my face.I fell to the ground and my left hand was holding on to one side of my cheek that was peppering me.He seemed to realize that he was wrong immediately, he bent down beside me, he tried to touch my cheek with worries etched around his sketchy face.I pushed him away instantly before his hand reached me. I was not i

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 178 THE PLAGUE
Serena’s PoVThe council hall was still buzzing but this time they were all nervous as Ardan stood in front of them, about to pass a message. His face looked like something terrible was wrong and there was urgency in his tone.“A plague is upon us,” he began, and the room instantly fell silent. “This isn’t like anything we’ve faced before. It affects only the pure—wolves who aren’t rogues. It attacks their minds, their bodies, and their very souls. It turns them into something else.”The crowd began to murmur, panicking.Ardan lifted a hand, silencing them. “Listen carefully. The symptoms include fever, wounds that won’t heal, erratic behaviour, and eventually… madness. The infected become rabid, dangerous, unable to control themselves.”“What about the rogues?” someone called out.“Like I said, they are immune,” Ardan replied grimly. “The unpure are safe from this, but the rest of us—any scratch or bite can spread the infection. Once you’re marked, there’s no cure.”Everyone present
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 177 JUSTICE SERVED
Serena’s PoVI stood outside, watching as Caden led the wolves through another intense training session. The young wolves listened to his every word. I could see that they truly admired him. But my stomach churned as I thought about everything he’d done—the lies, the manipulation, and the games he played with me and my pack.All I could think about was how much I wanted to end him right here, right now. Sally growled in agreement, but I held her back. Patience. His time would come.Suddenly, there was a commotion. A young woman who was running, stumbled into the training ground with torn and blood stained clothes. People around us began gasping as I rushed toward her. I just hoped it wasn’t another attack.“What happened?” I asked, steadying her ground as she collapsed into my arms.“I… I was attacked,” she stammered weakly.“By what?”She shook her head and her eyes were wide with fear. “I don’t know… something I didn’t understand.”Caden approached. This was the first time I saw him
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 176 SHADOWS OF A PLAGUE
ARDAN’s PoVThe fire crackled softly as Draven and I sat across from each other. A heavy silence settled between us. I handed him a small plate of roasted meat and bread, watching as he tore into it like a man who hadn’t eaten in days.“Thanks,” he muttered through a mouthful of food.I leaned back against a log with my blade resting across my lap. “So, what happened? Why are you here?”Draven wiped his mouth as his expression shifted to something more serious. “Before that, how are you holding up?”I shrugged. “I’m supposed to be out of here in two days. After that, I’ll figure out where to go.”“To where?” he pressed with furrowed brows.“I don’t know yet,” I admitted flatly.Draven set his plate aside and leaned forward. In a low tone, he spoke. “I have undeniable proof of Caden’s manipulation and alliance with the rogues. Let’s go back to your palace, expose him, and reclaim your place as alpha.”I shook my head with my grip tightening on the blade. “I’m not going back, Draven. Se
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 175 BOUND BY PERCEPTION
Ardan’s PoVI was at the training ground and all I could hear was the sound of fists connecting with bodies. I watched as Isiah led his group through drills. The fighters moved in rhythm, their movements were sharp, disciplined, and efficient. Though they were rogues, they were unlike any I had encountered before—focused, loyal, and united.I stood off to the side, watching with a detached curiosity. My blade was hung at my side, freshly sharpened but unused. I still wanted revenge but for now, I was unsure.“Enjoying the show?” Isiah said as he approached me.I turned to him, crossing my arms. “You’ve got a good group.”He smiled, but his expression was questioning. “Not like I want you gone but what are you still doing here, Ardan? You said you’d leave. Changed your mind?”“No,” I replied firmly. “I just need a few more days to think about where I’m going n
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 174 FRESH START
Ardan’s PoVI sharpened my blade across a huge stone by the fireside. Sparks flew in the dark. The heat felt warm on my face, but my boiling chest was full of hardly controllable anger and betrayal.In the camp, everyone was in motion, busy with one thing or the other and some of the rogues treated me like an outcast. They had taken me in days ago, finding me broken and wandering with no purpose. They had rescued me from fainting in the middle of nowhere. Then they brought me here and took care of my illness. Sometimes, I disliked that they were essential for my survival and I couldn’t pretend that they were not nice to me.“Sharpening that blade as if heading for combat,” a voice said beside me.I glanced up to see Isiah, one of the rogues who had found me. He was almost built like I was but he was more muscular, with keen eyes which seemed to never miss a thing. He knelt next to me, leaning forward and placing his hands on his kn
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 173 A DRUNKARD
Ardan opened my room and stepped inside while holding me in his arms. He dropped me on my bed.“I’m gonna get you something. Don’t go anywhere, you’re not yourself.” He said and all I could do was laugh and cry and laugh again.Soon after, he entered, bearing a minuscule cup of some substance that was still steamy. His face was tense and his lips pressed together in an thin line as he moved towards me.“You’re awake? I thought that you would have been sleeping by now,” He remarked.“Scarcely,” I said, rubbing my temples.He set the cup down on the nightstand beside me. “Drink this. It’ll help.”I took hold of the cup and as I did the harsh smell hit me first and I scowled. “What is this? It smells awful.”“It’ll sober you up,” he said , crossing his arms over his chest .I took the cup, moved it around, looked into the cup only to throw it away violently the next instance. It made contact with the wall and as it did, it’s content splattered everywhere.“Oops,” I said, laughing.“Seren
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 172 A FUNCTION
Days has passed since Ardan was banished… since I banished him, and today, the council hall was filled with voices from every corner. I simply stood by the side, clasping my hands and trying to mask the anxiety that I felt. Their eyes were all on me and it me feel exposed and vulnerable, like I was standing at the edge of the cliff with no were to go but down.Caden stood front and centre. His posture was relaxed though commanding. He was the natural born leader.“Today,” he began, smiling, “we stand at a turning point. The pack has faced challenges—betrayals, attacks, and uncertainty. But through it all, one person has remained steady, guiding us, protecting us.”He turned to me with pride. “Serena, the Wolf mother, our new alpha.”Everyone present began cheering aloud. The pack chanted my name with respect.“She has proven herself more competent than any leader before her,” Caden continued. “More competent than Ardan ever was.”The whole crowd gathered immediately agreed.“Hot-heade
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
