last update Last Updated: 2024-08-13 15:56:51

Serena's POV

I had told Leia that if I caught more prey than she does, she would apologize to me and she would never trouble me again. She agreed and I was glad she did.

It was a smart way to get her off my back as quickly as possible, since I could never fight her physically.

Even though I knew I had no strength like her, I was still willing to take the risk.

Unknown to me, it was about to be a bloody adventure. We would soon find out as we proceeded with the hunt.

Rachael felt it was just a class task and we might not necessarily come across any formidable opponent. She was right. It was just an assignment we needed to do in order to improve our grades and most importantly, to have the knowledge.

However, I was not going to joke with it or take it with levity. Even if I failed, I would know that I did try my best in the long run.

But in reality, it does not look like we were going there just for games. It was about to be a long day.

Even by the attitude the heavy cloud was throwing

    Serena's POVFear is a forceful element, it would break into every part of one's body, thereby causing a shattering vibration.For a brief moment, I had thought that this would be the end of me and I had no chance of survival.The giant wolf must have been in that forest for a while, tricking its prey with the same method he used on me.I think it was a clever move. One could easily apply this trick to some areas of one's growth and development.Although I was already looking at death deep into its eyes, I was still busy admiring the wisdom of this monster.When the strange force dragged me away, I thought another giant wolf was hiding in the forest that we did not know about.As a werewolf, I could not shift, I had no outstanding power strong enough to fight a monster and talk more of two monsters. So I was certain that this would be the end of me.Even if Rachael had not gone back to seek help from Arden, we couldn't have fought these monsters alone.Unknown to me, I was just making

    Serena's POVThe familiar smell hung arrogantly in the air. The hospital smell provoked my stomach and I began to feel nauseous. I entered the room and Arden was spread on the hospital bed as he was deep asleep.I stood beside his bed admiring his tired face that still managed to shine bright under the beaming light.I was carried away by the beauty of the man lying before me until I heard footsteps approaching. I adjusted myself immediately and wanted to sneak out again.But I felt Arden's hand holding my wrist, I was startled out of fear, he was asking me to stay. I was a bit shy but I waited by his side.He patted the space beside him on the bed, gesturing for me to lie down next to him. I was reluctant at first, worried that someone might come in and see us. But I did as I was told eventually.I lay next to Arden, feeling anxious about nothing. My mom's was wandering around aimlessly with no destination. He laid on his back while I lay down sideways to face him.Soon, the door cre

His hunger was surely satisfied.I left the hospital room feeling fly and happy. My cheeks flushed red, my heart swelling with joy, and my stomach rumbling with satisfaction.This was the first time we both wanted to have each other and he asked politely.Although he had asked me to stay back because he needed me to satisfy his desire, I wanted him too, but he did not force me or say hurtful dirty things to me like before.This made me happy and comforted.As I walked down the narrow pathway and I was thinking about how to sneak back into the villa, I met Alpha Zone on my.

    Serena's POVArden had come to the training ground to inspect the progress of the training. The coordinator approached him and gave him a brief update on the how things has been.He seemed to be pleased with the development as he nodded his head satisfyingly.“Let's go say hi” Rachael urged me.“Nope!” I replied quickly.“Why are you so rigid?”“I have never had an open conversation with him in public, yet I was tagged as a slut trying to bed the King! So I am not going, thanks!”I was not willing to embarrass myself. I might even get to him and he would talk down on me. So it was better for me to respect myself and stay put.Rachael left me and headed to Arden. She was his cousin, she could talk to him anytime and anywhere, but I could not dare to compare myself to her. I was different.I watched them from afar as they exchange pleasantries. The coziness between them was admirable.Soon they strolled back to where Rachael and I were standing.“Welcome, Your Majesty” I greeted him cas

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 46 SOME THINGS GET TO CHANGE AND SOME NEVER CHANGE

    Serena's POVAfter Arden had changed things for the Omegas by his decree, things have been much better for me. For the first time ever, I can walk around freely without any judgment or bullying from others. Even the treatment from the palace staff is different.I passed several maids and guards and there were no rude and offensive comments. No one has snickered at me or called me a whore to my face and collectively beat me till I pass out.Needless to say, things are finally working in my favor and for the good of other Omegas. No one, whether a human or an Omega shouldn't have to suffer what I and other Omegas have suffered in the past. I am delighted Arden did that for us.Speaking of Arden, I cannot believe he's changed. He doesn't abuse me or treat me like a cheap whore. He talks to me with care and tenderness.My mind still yearns for nights like the one we had together at the hospital and it's an evidence as to how much our relationship has changed. I held out hope that he would

    Serena's POVI didn't want anyone to know I was leaving the palace. Not Rachel nor Adren. I wanted to leave this place to preserve the little peace I have.At least, things for the Omegas have changed and by virtue of his engagement with Sylvia and me being in the academy, I'm free from him and how cruel he is towards me. I know I won't end up with my mate and I might probably not have a mate after being rejected by two of my mates but at least I will not be humiliated and belittled. Worst case scenario, I'll be a lone wolf.I admit it's sad and that's one of the worst things that could happen to any werewolf as everyone would love to have their mate and start their pack but it might not be so for me. As long as things have changed for the Omegas, I can live with that.I packed my bag and I was prepared to leave but my mind wondered if I should inform Rachel but I didn't. She would probably be furious with me for not telling her but I'd rather take that than to take being humiliated o

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 269 THE RITUAL OF FREEDOM

    Evelyn PoVAt first, I had not thought that Gilly's story would turn out to be so tragic. I thought I was merely doing my mother a favour: I was releasing a spirit and giving peace to the pack. But every single step I took in the direction of solving was heavy with shadows that just threw more secrets in my direction. I could feel the darkness circling in, twisting me into a hangman's noose.The old records of the pack were dusty and brittle, worn yellow with age. Weeks I spent in the archives bent over a desk deciphering the scribbled handwriting and cryptic notes. Draven helped where he could, his fingers dancing over ancient texts while I pieced together, bit by bit, the fragmented history of Gilly's downfall.It started innocent enough. Gilly was loved; with those attributes of kindness and strength, she was never really a natural leader. Somehow respect turned to jealousy, and jealousy turned to betrayal. The swirling in the ancient documents held very hostile stories of a family

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 268 THE SPIRITS TRAP

    Authors PoVThey started like whispers in the night.In the stillness of sleep, they forced their way into her brain to take her through dark and twisted visions. Some shadows curled around her, cold and snake-like; their touch glided over the rippling skin and left frosted impressions behind. The dreams picked their way through her nightmares the same way—her pack in chains, expressionless and with eyes like black pits; there was someone ahead, a person cloaked in shadows.The figure's face shifted and distorted; at one time it would be reminiscent of Gilly with her soft features, at another of Gloria, with that awful smirk. She would desperately attempt to run, to scream, but either the land would crumble beneath her feet, swallowing her whole in the world, until she woke up gasping for air.The dreams haunted her daily, tormenting her with the reality of the world outside the realm of sleep. Gilly's spirit seemed to linger in the edges of reality sewn into the very fabric that woul

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 267 THE BLOOD OF THE BETRAYED

    Evelyn PoVThe truth sat heavy on my chest, a stone sinking into dark waters. Gilly's voice lingered in my mind, a soft, desperate whisper threading through my thoughts even as I went through the motions of daily life. The blood of the betrayed will break the chains.Those words had been haunting me ever since the ritual with Draven, every syllable a jigsaw puzzle piece that refused to fit. What betrayal? Whose blood? The answers I sorely craved could only be unearthed by digging deeper into Gilly's past, the life which she had led before Gloria's darkness swallowed her whole.I started my search among the old documents located in the pack's ancient archive building where old books and fragile scrolls blended their aged scent with forgotten tales. For hours I studied the pack's historical records that included birth and death records as well as political alliances and loyalty breakdowns. Being careful with my page turns made me sharply conscious that the sound of crinkling pages carri

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 266 UNVEILING SHADOWS

    Evelyn PoVWas this a mere figment of my imagination?… Gilly’s voice had become an echo that trickled into the stillness, catching me unawares. The torment did not even allow me peace in sleep. I would close my eyes, and her voice would take me into shadowed dreams-corridors layered in darkness, chains clanking in the distance."Evelyn."It now sounded weak and soft, no more than an echo but soon merely a whisper grazing my skin. Jerking upright in bed, I pulled the blanket tighter around my shoulders."Wh-What do you want from me?" I whispered back, my voice lost in the dark.Silence.I woke up abruptly from my bed before drawing the blanket closer to protect my shoulders."What do you want from me?" I demanded quietly. I managed to answer him but my words vanished into the darkness.Silence.I clenched my fists. “If you’re real I need to see you to be sure.”The air moved through the room as the window remained closed. The candle flame moved in an unexpected sideways wave as though

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 265 MARCUS’s CONFESSION

    Evelyn’s PoVAs I came to stand amidst the rubble of Odessa’s fortress, there rioted smells of smoke and blood. The bodies of both friends and foes lay scattered on the ground from a battle that, to me, seemed less a victory than a doomsday. My body screamed for peace, and the tightness of every muscle felt unbearable; yet it could hardly compare with the turmoil within me.Finian stood a few paces away, his eyes piercing into mine. His expression was inscrutable-somewhere between hope and acceptance. His knuckles were bruised, his hair caked with dirt, and yet still he seemed the bedrock I have leaned upon during my stay with the pack at Odessa. He had saved me countless times, and now, standing before freedom, I no longer knew where we stood.And then there was Marcus.He emerged from the smoke like an apparition. Relief, pain, and something else—something much deeper, something older, much older—were stamped on his face, making my chest tighten. The last rays of sunlight broke thro

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 264 THE BEGINNING OF WAR

    Author PoVBefore sentries had time to alert their camp the arrows struck their targets. The wolves crashed into each other while they shifted as their howls unified their counterparts.Inside the fortress, Evelyn felt it. The vibrations of battle were within her, through the stone walls, deep and low; she felt a low hum settle deep into her bones. She was clasped in silver chains burning against the skin, watching Finian about to die.One of the guards entered the room quickly, his face extremely pale. "We are under attack!"Odessa's face hardened, "By whom?""Callum and his people… he’s alive my alpha. And the Red Blood Moon pack."Odessa's lips twisted into a snarl. "Then they have come to die." She turned toward Evelyn, handing her a dagger she had drawn from her belt. "I ought to kill you. But I will save you for last.”Evelyn then looked into Odessa's eyes, her fear burning away and replaced by determination. "No, I will save you for last.”Then the ambush began. Callum and Ryan

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 263 A RECKLESS RESCUE MISSION

    Author PoVThe woods was dark as Marcus and Luca passed through the underbrush in silence. Marcus’s heart thudded against his ribs, with a steady caution. He glanced toward Luca, who had graduated from one stern face of determination to intent.They had been trudging through the woods for hours on nothing more than scraps of intelligence and the stubborn pull of hope. Ryan's rogues had pointed them in the right direction but were ultimately not adventurous enough to try to approach the Red Blood Moon pack directly. After all, Odessa's territory was a death trap of sorts. Even the most adventurous rogues knew better than to cross her borders without sufficient cause.The moonlight was just enough to see the outlines of makeshift tents and some shadows on watch. Marcus motioned for Luca to keep it low and crouched behind some ferns to take in the camp."Do you see her?" Luca whispered in a voice so faint it was almost a sigh."Not yet," Marcus ground out, struggling to make each breath

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 262 THE DREAM

    Serena’s PoVTears stung my eyes, and I woke up in a start with broken breath as the persistence of the dream clung to me. In this muted room, shadows danced upon the wall; for a second, I was hardly certain of where I stood. The dream had borne the reality—Odessa, her eyes bright with evil gleam, standing atop a heap of bones. Her army, a roar of growling rogues and defiled creatures spread out to the last sight. And then there was Evelyn... Evelyn was there, firmly standing by the side of Odessa, the empty look on her face an undercover of madness.I put my trembling hand over my forehead, it was sweating. This dream wasn't just a figment of imagination; it was a warning.I pushed aside the thick furs, stood, and went to the unbarred window. The pack grounds lay quiet, a deceitful calm before a storm. My instincts screeched like a mother's intuition that something far worse than what we had imagined was in the making.If only I could make Ardan see it too.But Ardan... he was no lon

  • Mate? Or Die!   Chapter 261 A FAKE DEATH

    Evelyn’s PoVThe dagger felt heavy and cold in my palm. Odessa’s cold demand rang in my ears. Kill Callum. Bring me his head. This wasn’t a test or ,twisted game to see how far I would go to prove my loyalties. I just had to do it. I knew I had to do it.If I turned it down, she would turn against me. If I carried out her order, I would lose the only ally I had managed to win over. Either way, she would win.Not this time.Finian walked beside me as we traveled through the thick forest. His expression was a mixture of concern and determination. He had not questioned me for warning Callum. He had not hollered when I insisted we needed to fake a death, to give like a disguise for the purpose of tricking Odessa into believing I had done my job. Instead, he nodded, affirming my sense of loyalty."Are you sure it will work?" he asked softly."It must." I responded. "If Odessa realises we lied to her, we would be dead."
