Mate? 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 32 A STARTLING SECRET
Serena's POVAfter my conversations with Alpha Zone, I became excited as anticipation took over my heart. I was overwhelmed with joyful joy. I have never more happier than this.Even though it had not happened yet and the probability of a positive outcome was uncertain, I still looked forward to the weekend when the birthday would happen with the hope that whatever regular I tendered would be granted.I went about making more enquiries about the event eagerly, I could not hold myself together, and although it was not far again, I became impatient due to anticipation.I also decided to practice and prepare for what I would be presenting. I was glad that his golden opportunity came my way.Just when I was about to give up and accept this ill fate of mine, while wandering around the beautiful garden, Alpha Zone came with such good news. Indeed the beauty garden was a place of hope. I should go there more often.The queen's mother's birthday would be on the coming Saturday, it was a weeke
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 33 PLEASE, REJECT ME
Serena's POVEvery time you make people feel something, you are winning beyond doubt. Seeing eagerness and curiosity on everybody's faces, I was happy that I was winning. It satisfied my soul.“Your Higher, thank you for this privilege, it means a lot to me and I will never take it for granted. The only wish I have is to leave the palace” I said confidently.Once again, everybody was stunned. I guess they did expect to hear something else from me.Even Arden could not hide his shock, his expression says it all. Unlike Sylvia who seemed to be pleased to hear such a wish from me.At least she could finally have the king to herself once I left the palace. And she goes on to become a local champion. It was no longer my business.Queen Mother seemed surprised too, but she was composed as it was not too noticeable. I was not useful to her In any way, I was just an ordinary Omega. So there was no personal reason for her to reject my request.She stood up from the royal chair and stepped down
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 34 I WILL STILL PROTECT YOU
Serena's POVFox was so vile and terrible that it was her task to intimidate and punish others. They would laugh out loud like they enjoyed taunting me. But they were not just taunting me, they were making life difficult for me.After Sylvia ordered them, they carried me to the restroom area and laid me on the floor. Fox held me down for the others as they tried to rip clothes apart. I was terrified.“When the King finds out about this, he will surely deal with you all” I yelled at them but my eyes were fixed on Fox before I dashed a glare at Sylvia.“You slut! So you still have the boldness to mention the king's name in your filthy mouth? Deal with her until she begs for her life”Sylvia was a terrible person, and she was able to recruit people who shared the same traits with her.“Are you still trying hard to seduce him?” She asked.Upon her questions, I realized that this might push me into a deeper abyss. So I refrain from calling Arden's name for help. I was only trying to scare
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 35 IT IS JUST A CHARADE
Arden's POVEmma can be too forward and overly annoying sometimes, but when it comes to planning an important event, she is the best option. I liked her attention to detail and how she organised every event of the Royal Family without error.She had a way of coming up with new ideas for the decoration and setting up of the banquet hall.There was only one hall, but she always worked with the royal decorators to ensure that they gave the hall a different look and taste.Emma was more than a housekeeper. She was excellent at her job.She knew what to do for the upcoming engagement party, but according to her, she still wanted to know if I had any opinions.“You don't have to do all these things on your list,” I said to her.“Oh, what would you like us to prepare this time around exactly?” She asked me.“I know you like making statements about royal events. But we won't be doing that this time. It should be a simple event. Don't use too many resources, and only a few people should be inv
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 36 THE HEAT CYCLE
Serena's POVSometimes, you are too busy being careful without even knowing that what you were avoiding is right under your nose.I was stunned, surprise and shock took over my heart when I saw Arden standing by the doorway.He was even more surprised than I was, his expression was more of shock than disgust. His sharp eyes gazed at Alpha Zone with horror.My throat began to burn like it was set on fire, and my legs felt frozen but losing balance at the same time. I was waiting for what would happen next, but instead of yelling at me or humiliating me as usual, he ordered Alpha Zone to follow him and they both went away immediately.At first, I had thought Arden had come to the villa to see me, but it immediately hit me that it was just an illusion, he couldn't have come this far to see me. After all, he had threatened me hours ago.Although it was just a fake kiss Alpha Zone staged to protect me from Sylvia and her vultures, I was still worried that Arden might give him a hard time,
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 37 I AM WILLING TO STAND BY HER
Arden's POV.Just a while ago, Emma and Alf were busy giving me a sermon on how good and upright Serena is. Their words had unsettled my mind so much that I was confused, wondering if I was truly wrong about her.But how did it go? The day had not even ended, yet I saw her with Zone, my cousin, kissing in public with no shame.I guess there was no limit to her shamelessness. She could never hold herself together. She constantly felt the need to be under a man while their third leg was deep into her as they pounced on her until she lost consciousness.I didn't even have to try getting that image of her out of my head. She was truly a seductive slut, and that is final. I didn't care if Alf agreed with me or not.But I wouldn't be wasting my time and strength on getting her to explain. She would only pour out more lies. I would rather talk to my brother.I ordered Zone to follow me immediately, and he did.I was furious and disappointed with him for kissing her. He could have avoided it
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 38 KILL MYSELF
Serena's POVMy encounter with Rachael left me feeling pretty and warm. I never thought there was someone in this world who is a high-ranking werewolf and she doesn't look down on me.I fell in love with her person instantly, she was cool. After all this world is not filled with darkness. Stars are serving as a light for us.After the training session, Rachael and I departed and went our separate ways, I retired to my room feeling grateful for the gift of a friend and the sudden appearance of Alpha Zone who rescued me.Just like Rachael had warned me earlier, I locked my room and perched on my mattress hoping that the night would be over soon.The full moon night began, and my mystery came with it too.As I lay down on my back with my eyes closed, my legs crossed but it was not helping. The more the tingling sensation between might thighs increased, the more I tightened up my legs.It was driving me crazy. Soon, my Virgina began to drip, I was wet for obvious reasons. The heat cycle w

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 114 THE AMBUSH
The camp had been unusually quiet that morning, but my thoughts were anything but still. Gilly was stronger now—more alert, more alive than she’d been since her rescue—but I couldn’t help noticing how Dominic avoided looking at her. His usual smirk was absent, and he kept his eyes away from from hers.Gilly seemed to notice, too. She stood a little apart from us, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed and her eyes fixed on Dominic as if she were trying to solve a puzzle.“Gilly,” I said softly, walking over to her. “How are you feeling?”“Better,” she said. “A lot better, actually.” She hesitated as her gaze flickered toward Dominic. “But something’s off with him. He keeps avoiding me.”I followed her eyes, watching Dominic as he checked his weapons with meticulous precision. “That’s just how he is,” I said, though I couldn’t deny the unease creeping into my chest.“Serena,” Gilly said quietly with her voice almost a whisper. “He feels… familiar. I don’t know how to explain it,
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 113 CONSEQUENCES
The next morning, Zone and Dominic’s bickering had started again before we even broke camp.“You’re leading us into another trap, aren’t you?” Zone growled with his arms crossed as he faced Dominic, who leaned lazily against a tree.Dominic smirked, completely unbothered. “You’ve got trust issues, big guy. Relax. If I wanted to betray you, I’d have done it already.”“You’d say that whether you planned to or not,” Zone shot back with a sharp tone.“Enough,” I snapped, stepping between them. My patience was wearing thin, and I couldn’t afford to let their constant tension derail us. “This isn’t helping. We’re all here for the same reason—to find Ardan. Keep that in mind, or we’re not going to make it.”“No, you, are here to find Ardan. I’m done. I am telling you, Dominic is leading us into some trap I cant trust him.” Zone cried.“I saved you, I saved Gilly and I saved Rachel. I didn’t ask you to come with me. This is my fight and my fight alone. Do you think I trust Dominic?” I asked s
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 112 ANOTHER WITCH
The sun was up as we made our way to the canyon. Dominic led the way. Zone followed close behind with his hand resting on his sword. Rachel and Gilly were at my side. Gilly was leaning on Rachel for support as she regained her strength.The air felt heavier here, every sound was amplified and echoing off the rock.“Something’s not right,” Sally murmured in my mind.“I feel it too,” I replied with my senses sharpening as I scanned the cliffs above. The silence was unnerving.“We should move faster,” Zone said in a low but urgent tone.“Relax,” Dominic called over his shoulder, his tone infuriatingly casual. “This path is clear. I’ve used it dozens of times.”Zone’s growl was barely audible. “And how do we know you’re not leading us into a trap?”Dominic turned, walking backward with a grin. “Like I said, If I wanted you dead, you’d already be dead. Trust me, big guy.”I clenched my fists. “Keep moving. We’re too exposed here.”Dominic smirked but complied, turning forward again.Then a
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 111 FRACTURED BONDS
The walk back to camp was filled with tension. Dominic’s easy smirk didn’t help; if anything, it made Zone’s temper simmer hotter. I could feel the heat of Zone’s eyes boring into Dominic’s back, but I kept my focus on the path ahead. We didn’t have time for petty arguments—not when Ardan was still out there.When we arrived, Rachel was sitting beside Gilly with her hands glowing faintly as she worked to stabilise our friend’s breathing. Gilly lay on a makeshift bed of leaves. Her face was pale but peaceful. Rachel glanced up as we approached. Her brows furrowed when she spotted Dominic.“Who’s this?” Rachel asked in a wary tone.Dominic gave her a lazy wave. “Dominic. Smuggler, information broker, occasional charmer. At your service.”Zone growled. “We don’t need your act. Just tell them why you’re here.”I stepped forward, cutting through the tension. “This is Dominic. He knows the rogue king’s network and might have information about Ardan’s whereabouts.”“Might,” Dominic echoed, l
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 110 A DEAL WITH DOMINIC
Dominic’s smirk widened as he crossed his arms, leaning casually against one of the tent poles. He was tall, lean, and radiated this air of arrogance that set my teeth on edge. His sharp green eyes darted between Zone and me, sizing us up like the way predators size their prey.“Ardan,” I said firmly, cutting straight to the point. “You know where he is.”Dominic raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. “Oh, do I now? And what makes you think I’d share that information with you?”Zone stiffened beside me with his hand twitching toward his blade, but I placed a calming hand on his arm. This was my fight.“Because we both know you don’t work for free,” I replied. “You don’t owe the rogue king loyalty, and I can pay you better than he ever could.”Dominic chuckled, pushing off the post and circling me slowly. “Interesting theory. But what makes you think your cause is worth my time? I mean, look at you—tired, desperate, and woefully out of your depth. You’re chasing a ghost, sweetheart.”I
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 109 BORDERLAND
The forest had become our home and our prison. Days turned into nights without relief. The rogue king’s forces were everywhere, and we were forced to move like ghosts, never lingering in one place for long.Gilly’s condition had improved, but she still wasn’t strong enough to travel far, and Rachel rarely left her side. That left Zone and me to scout ahead, searching for any sign of Ardan or the rogue king’s plans.The frustration was beginning to pile up, and my wolf, Sally, understood my restlessness. “We’re wasting time,” she growled in my mind as we crept through an underbrush. “He’s out there, and we’re stuck chasing the wrong thing.”“You think I don’t know that?” I shot back. “I just don’t know how to prove it.” I continued. He was alive—I was sure of it—but every moment we spent running felt like another moment he slipped further from my reach.Zone crouched beside me with his sharp eyes scanning the road ahead. “Trail’s fresh,” he murmured, pointing to a set of boot prints in
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 108 RACHEL
We had finally gotten out of the dungeon and I helped Zone and Gilly to the hidden passage I’d used to enter. Every sound echoed in my ears—the clink of Zone’s chains that we had now gotten rid of, Gilly’s shallow, pained breaths, and my dragged footsteps against the stone floor. I was angry and confused. What I’d seen… it wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be.“That wasn’t Ardan,” I reminded myself, swallowing down the lump in my throat. My wolf, Sally, had already made it clear: this Ardan was an imposter, the rogue king in disguise. But knowing didn’t lessen the pain of seeing my mate’s face twisted into something cruel and unrecognisable.“Serena,” Zone growled behind me in a low tone but he was very much angry. “Are you going to explain now, or do I have to figure this out on my own?”I paused, staring back at him. He was cradling Gilly in his arms. She looked so small and so broken. The sight of her nearly brought me to my knees.“That wasn’t Ardan like I said,” I said softly and with
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 107 CAUGHT
The night was cold as we quietly and carefully passed through the palace corridors. Gilly, though still unconscious, rested securely in Zone’s arms. Rachel and I moved ahead, scanning for threats while Zone followed close behind.The memory of what I had seen in the dungeon was burned into my mind. I couldn’t shake the image of the imposter Ardan. Yes, my mind has been on it and will continue to be on it until I am able to find my mate. The rogue king had not only stolen my mate’s appearance but had turned the palace—our home—into a place of fear and lies.Meanwhile, the silence between I and Zone was heavy and it was broken only by the faint sound of our footsteps. I knew how Zone felt about his unanswered questions and his simmering anger he was trying to keep at bay. I understood his rage; I felt it too. But now wasn’t the time to lose control.We reached the palace’s outer gardens without any incident. The moon shone bright, making it harder to stay hidden. I motioned for the othe
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 106 THE IMPOSTER
If the guards’ rumours were true, Zone was in chains for “colliding with a witch,” and I could only imagine what they’d done to Gilly, who was already vulnerable. If there was even a chance they were in the dungeons, I had to find them.“We’ll get them out, Serena,” my wolf promised. Her confidence became mine.Soon, I sighted the thick door to the dungeon, guarded by a lone guard. I timed my movement. I waited for him to shift his attention momentarily and then I moved past him swiftly. His flickering torchlight casted only a slight glimpse of me.I hadn’t been in these dungeons in ages. I remembered how prisoners were brought here under Ardan’s orders, criminals as well who had chosen the wrong side. But this was different. Ardan had always been just. To think of Zone and Gilly down here, locked in these cells, made my blood boil.As I went down the stairs, a tortured howl echoed off the stone walls. The sound was unmistakable. It was Zone. I picked up my pace, sprinting down the na
