Mate? 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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 202 Serena’s Awakening
Ardan’s PoVI was seated in Josephine’s room with an uncomfortable silence. She realised that I didn’t care about her feelings and just wanted her to remove the baby. She fumed near the window, folding her arms across her chest. Now she was sure she was pregnant and I didn’t know what else to do.“We cannot keep this baby,” I retorted, attempting to stay as strong as possible.Josephine looked at me with determination in her eyes. “This baby is your opportunity to have your own child, a child that genetically belongs to you. I’m not removing it, Ardan. You have already had to nurture someone else’s child as if he/she is your own. Now you get to have one that’s truly yours.” Josephine expressed.The words she said deeply affect me, yet, they were merely words of consolation. “You are not aware of the countless questions I will have to answer the moment Serena opens her eyes. Evelyn already has known that I am not her father. She knows she’s cursed. If Serena finds out about you and thi
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 201 HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVELYN
Evelyn’s PoVI opened my eyes to the morning sunshine streaming through my windows. I yawned and wished this day was as special as it was meant to be. My 18th birthday. I had turned a year older and my mother was still in a coma. I wanted my mother here, awake, smiling at me like she did when she birthed me.“Happy birthday, Evelyn!” I jumped as Luca entered my room, opening the door and carrying a small basket in his arms.I forced a smile. “Thanks, Luca.”“I had the whole day planned for us,” he said with a wide smile. “You’ll love it.”I agreed, though there was little enthusiasm in my gestures. “Sounds great.”He looked at my expression and then leaned back because I did not show much interest at all. “Hey, what’s wrong?”“I just… “ Looking at me and how sad I was, Luca took my hands and I said, “If only mommy were here.”Luca’s smile softened. “I get it. But you’ve got me, okay? Besides, she’d want you to enjoy the rest of your day. So let’s go, okay?”“Alright.” I agreed, gettin
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 200 THE SPIRIT’s WHISPERS
Evelyn’s PoVSomething weird was going on. I woke up on the bed, breathing in short, rapid gasps and my heart beating fast. Initially, I assumed that it was just another dream and then, I heard something.A voice.“Evelyn…” it said again.Holding my blanket firmly, I looked around the room and felt a cold sweat running down my spine. That’s when I saw her. A woman’s spirit appeared at a corner.“You are a threat to them,” she declared calmly. “Unstable. Dangerous.”“Don’t get any closer,” I whispered with a quivering voice.She smiled at her adversary, turning her head slightly. “Oh, but I’m not your enemy, Evelyn. You have no one who understands you as much as I do. I am the only one who sees your potential. Against any of them, you are stronger than they can ever know. Even stronger than your own mother.”I covered my ears with my palms. “Stop it! Leave me alone!”“You’re not meant to be controlled by them,” she continued against my efforts to ignore her. “They are scared of you bec
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 199 A DARK RETURN
Ardan PoVI stood still in the middle of the area still tensed. Josephine’s words about Evelyn did not leave my ears or the very core of my existence. How could I have allowed her to utter such words about my daughter?As I was about to leave, Zone who by now wore the most sinister of looks on his face, approached me.“Ardan, what the hell was that?” he asked, his tone harsh, but not raised overly so.“I do not wish to talk about it,” I replied, clenching my teeth.Zone interfered and stood right in front of me, ensuring that I could not avoid dealing with this situation. “She’s your daughter, Ardan. You remained immobile as the pack watched Josephine demean her.“I know,” I snapped. “But now isn’t the time.”Zone scoffed. “If not now, then when? Evelyn needs you, and instead, you’re here pouting your lips while Josephine—”“I don’t want to discuss it,” I snapped back. Irritation was heavy in my tone that made him stop.Before Zone could continue his questioning Josephine stepped in w
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 198 EVELYN’s GROWING ABILITIES
Ardan PoVThe day started with Draven standing at my door with his face as hard as stone. In his hand, he held a tiny, black book that contained his riddles and diagrams. I gestured towards the door, signalling him to come inside.“You look like hell,” I said sadly, pointing at the chair on the other side of the desk.“I’ve been having visions again,” he stated uncomfortably. The gravity of the situation was evident in his tone. “It’s about the relic.”I tensed. “The one that came with the magic that was tied to Gloria?”He nodded. “Yes. But it is even more dangerous than one could have thought. I think it could bring her soul back to life if it were left with no restraint. But if Evelyn—or Serena comes in contact with it…” he stopped as he contemplated over his next words.I leaned forward. “We destroy it. Whatever it takes.”Draven groaned audibly, massaging his temples with his fingers. “It’s not that simple. If a person decides to destroy it, he or she stands the risk of unleashin
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 197 EVELYN SECRET
Evelyn’s PoVIt happened a few nights ago. Initially, I could not believe that it was really happening to me and it might be my imagination due to the ongoing stress within the pack and the fact that I was now aware that I was cursed. But they kept coming back—I saw them, persistent, haunting and as if they were calling my name.I got up from the bed, shaking the sweat from my brow. The whispers were louder now, pulling at a cord somewhere inside me.“Evelyn...”My heart pounded. It didn’t matter who or what was behind it, they just wanted me to come with them.And I listened.I left the pack house discreetly so as not to wake anyone. The night was rather chilly; I could hear the insects’ buzz and the whispers. The whispers led me further into the forest with my toes bare against the rough ground.Finally, after what it felt like an eternity, I arrived in an area that I had never set foot in before. At the centre was a round, worn stone base, not large enough to hold even a medium-siz
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 196 FORBIDDEN FEELINGS
Ardan’s PoVThe situation in the camp had been tense for some time. It began with word battles—a few barbs exchanged between my pack and Joachim’s rogues in passing—though recently, things had turned physical. Today, I found myself in the middle of the training grounds, clapping my hands to restore order after another fight.“This is exactly the kind of attitude that we don’t want around here! You’re all children!” I boomed, making my voice heard above all the ruckus. “We are supposed to be on the same side, are we not? How can this be happening?”The two fighters angrily retreated, cursing under their breath.“Ardan,” a voice whispered. It was low and commanding. I looked round to see Josephine coming nearer and her aura demanded respect at first sight. “Let me handle this.”She stood between the two groups and her words were deliberately chosen and diplomatic. &ld
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 195 ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE
Evelyn’s PoVLately, things did not feel right at all, almost as if the world was out of tune in a way. My father was avoiding me, Marcus was ignoring me and secrets that I wasn’t privy to seemed to be everywhere. All I could sense was that there must be something colossal looming behind it—something that close friends were hiding from me.When I found Marcus, he was perched on a log at the edge of the camp, honing his blade, which was something he always did when he needed time to introspect. I could tell even from where I was standing that something was very off with him.“Marcus,” I whispered as I approached him.He flicked another glance at me, his was face impassive, then he looked back to the sword. “Evelyn.”I took a seat next to him. “Are you okay?”He paused for a moment gripping the handle more firmly. “I’m fine.”I frowned. “You don’t seem f
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 194 ARDAN TORMENT
Ardan’s PoVThe days after paternity spell left me a wreck. To believe that Evelyn, was not my real daughter. Deep down I knew she wouldn’t be but now that I actually knew the truth and felt like a big mess, I despised myself for this feeling. She was still my daughter, still Serena’s child— our child in every way that one can imagine. However, every time I glanced at her, all I could see was the shadow of Caden teasing me from the other world.I distanced myself from her, angered and guilty. My duties as Alpha did help in distracting me from the torment, yet the moment I was done working, the torment started again. Evelyn noticed. How could she not? She always had those perceptive looks that did not leave anything unnoticed.It did not take her much time before she got the chance to approach and pull me aside to the common area of the pack house.“Dad,” she started firmly, “why have you been avoiding me?“I attempted to dismiss her complaints using the alibi of being bogged down with
