Mate? Or Die! Chapter 43 I WANT YOU
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

Serena's POVAn evening that was supposed to be for a secret visit, turned out to be a passionate night. My heart was filled with warmth and I could see it in the way Arden looked at me too. 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. It seemed strange that he was outside at that time of the night.I was stunned by the sight of him at that hour. At least I had a reason to sneak out of the villa. What could be his own reason?His face was still glowing even in

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? 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
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 47 A NEW ALLY AND A NEW TASK
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
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 48 THE GRADUATION TASK
Serena's POVThey said life comes at us in different ways. Sometimes you lose, some other times you will win, it doesn't have a pattern, either of the two could come first. It depends on how fate wants our journey to be.Within a short period, my nightmares turned into sweet dreams, ones that I'd never want to wake up again. It became nights of bliss and days of sunshine.My early days in the palace were from one humiliation to another, and I was an object of bully. No one has spared me from their trap and insults.Upon my journey into the royal training, I have experienced warmth within this short period more than I can attest to throughout the journey of my existence up until this moment.I felt closer and closer to Arden, he was now soft and gentle with me, and I could now look into his eyes when I spoke to him. He was now looking out for me.I now have a friend who I could refer to as my sister. A warm companion who I could rest on her shoulder. Rachael was indeed lovely.With an

Serena's POVI woke up to the sun shining brightly and birds using their beautiful songs to usher in the new day. Activities of the day was already on full swing which prompted me to get ready for my own day. The day of my last task.I got myself prepared for the day thinking about how far I've come. I wasn't a helpless weak palace servant anymore. That's all behind me now.I got a message from Rachel wishing me good luck with the task today and I smiled. I know I might probably have to take on Rachel or Alpha Zone truly, they have been more than friends to me. I would have lasted another agonizing day without them.I wore my training clothing and I looked in the mirror satisfied with what I saw then I made my way to the palace.The palace was packed full with people who were going to watch today's last task. My heart raced with both anxiety and excitement but I couldn't tell which was more.I met up with Rachel and she looked ready as ever and completely calm."Today's the big day."
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 50 REIMAGINED TORTURE
Serena's POVAfter the task, I went to the locker room and freshened up. I was given a guard uniform to wear and I never for a million lifetime would have thought I would be Adren's personal guard. It's like I was doomed to forever be bound to him. I got into the academy to be free from him. Now, I'm even closer to him than before.I am glad Alpha Zone helped me out but this was not the reward I had in mind. For all it's worth, I'm no longer a lowly slave but a higher authority that still objects to these orders and commands.I came out in my uniform and I admit I look very nice in it but I certainly didn't feel that way. Both Rachel and Alpha Zone were also given uniforms also and we were to report to the Adren."Hey, are you okay?" Rachel whispered as we walked."Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I let the lie flow like water but I know she can tell I'm not okay."Even deaf humans can tell you're lying." Alpha Zone said with his voice even and eyes front. It looks like he is as up

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
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 169 THE GROWING DIVIDE
It was the third day since Ardan and I had that argument. I sat alone under a tree in silence.My thoughts were a tangled mess. I had begin to doubt Ardan’s leadership, the whole accusations against Caden, and the guilt of knowing the pack was slowly fracturing. For the first time in my life, I felt truly lost, even with Ardan by my side.“Serena?”I turned to see who was calling only to see Caden standing a few feet away. I could see worry in his face. “I thought I might find you out here,” he said, stepping closer to me.I sighed, brushing a hand through my hair. “What do you want, Caden?”“To help,” he replied simply, sitting down beside me. “You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders lately. Maybe you need someone to lean on for a change.”I opened my mouth to send him away, but the words refused to come. The truth was, he wasn’t wrong. All that was taking pl
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 168 BETRAYAL IN THE RANKS
I was in the war room checking the maps for any loophole that could be causing the attacks. I know I didn’t fully believe Caden and if he turns out to be the one behind all of this, he is damn good at playing mind games.It was then I heard the shriek. I rushed outside to see what was happening. The rogue attack came without warning, tearing through the southern sector of our territory in the dead of night. Wolves howled combined with the cries of fear and anger. By the time we reached the site, the damage had already been done—several pack members injured, and one critically wounded.The aftermath left a heavy tension hanging over the pack. Whispers began to spread, doubts began creeping into the minds of those who had once been steadfast in their loyalty.“They’re targeting us too easily,” one voice murmured.“Maybe Ardan’s not as strong as we thought,” another added.I clenched my fists as I walked
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 167 ARDAN’s CONFESSION
Serena’s PoVIt was pretty early in the morning and the sun rose behind the main training grounds. From where I was perched above, I could see the young wolves fighting and running around as Caden supervised them. His orders were precise but motivating and he seemed quiet but authoritative.Every day, he trained them relentlessly. I couldn’t help but wonder why he pushed them so hard. Surely, we had enough seasoned warriors to hold the borders and defend the pack. These young ones—barely teenagers, deserved a chance to enjoy their youth.Once the session ended, I made my way down the hill to where Caden was standing and wiping sweat from his brow. He spotted me approaching and gave me a nod with a grin.“Good morning, Alpha,” he said, teasing me.I folded my arms, tilting my head as I spoke to him. “Caden, I’ve been watching you train these kids every day. Why do you push them so hard? We already have capable warriors.”He shrugged, leaning on the hilt of a practice sword. “You can ne
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 166 TENSIONS AND DOUBTS
Serena’s PoVIt was the next morning already. I sat on the edge of the bed, interlocking my fingers within my laps. Ardan stood by the window with tense shoulders. His gaze was distant as he stared out at the pack grounds.I took a deep breath, bringing myself to speak. “Ardan,” I began softly.He didn’t turn around. His posture was rigid.“I wanted to say I’m sorry,” I continued. “I shouldn’t have accused Caden. I let my doubts get the better of me and now I understand how much he means to you.”Ardan had not said a word to me since he woke up this morning. I noticed he was uncomfortable. His usual demeanour was gone and replaced by something else that I couldn’t quite place.I shout him a dirty look, and getting to my feet, I moved over to where he sat and stood beside him. “What’s wrong?” I asked, studying his face.“Nothing,” he said curtly without looking me in the eyes.“Ardan,” I said more firmly, “I know something’s bothering you. Talk to me.”He closed his mouth firmly and fo
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 165 TROUBLING TRUTH
Ardan’s PoVThe rain had started already as my mate and I were tangled in the sheets. It had been quite sometime since we both had gotten this intimate, yet as we kissed, I could tell something was bothering Serena.“What’s wrong? Is it about Caden?” I asked but she didn’t answer. Instead, she pulled me in for another kiss. We kissed for a while but I didn’t feel any rhythm. It felt forced.“Okay, what’s really going on?” I asked.Serena sighed and finally spoke. “How close are you to Caden?” She asked.“He was my childhood best friend. Why?” I asked, curious. She went silent again.“Hmm?” I murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek.Serena hesitated, biting her lip, as though she were unsure of whether she should speak at all. Finally, she exhaled again. “I need to tell you something about Caden.”“What about him?” I asked calmly.She sat up and pulled the covers around herself. “I don’t want you to think I’m trying to put a rift between you two. He’s your friend, and I know
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 164 THE HIDDEN ATTACK
The morning sir was cold and the cloud looked like it was going to rain soon. I sat at the head of the war table with folded arms as I listened to Ardan outline the patrol schedules for the coming week. His voice was steady and reassuring—something I needed more than I cared to admit.“The northern border patrols will overlap every two hours,” Ardan explained, marking the map with strokes. “Zone and Rachel will lead the first sweep, and we’ll keep fresh warriors rotating. If there’s anything out of place, we’ll know.”I nodded, satisfied with the plan. “It’ll hold for now. I just want our wolves to feel safe again.”Ardan leaned back in his chair, watching me carefully. “They will, Serena. We are doing the right thing.”I offered him a smile, though it felt strained. The pack had been walking a fine line between recovery and exhaustion, and despite my best efforts, the tension was still palpable. It had been days since the witches’ promises, and though the rogue attacks had quieted, p
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 163 ALPHA CADEN
Caden had been in the pack for only a few days, and already, his presence was evident. He was charming, competent, and above all, respectful. Where others folded under pressure or demanded their worth be recognised, Caden offered his help with an effortless grace, winning people over with ease.And that alone made me wary.I watched from the balcony as he sparred with a group of young warriors in the training grounds below. He was more than a visiting Alpha lending aid; he was a man used to being in control. Our people admired him, I could see it in their faces. He gave them clear instructions, shouted encouragement, and moved among them like he’d always belonged.“Are you planning to glower at him all morning, or do you want me to fetch you a chair?”Ardan’s voice startled me. He leaned against the doorway to the balcony, arms crossed and a slight smirk on his face. I shot him a look, but he didn’t budge.“I&rsq
