Mate? Or Die! Chapter 49 AN OMEGA'S SUCCESS
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."

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 51 UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS AND POSITIONS
Serena's POVWe sat in silence and I kept looking outside the window to avoid any form eye contact with him. I tried my best to look as formal as possible but I couldn't help but think that he was sitting in front of me, with very little space between us and there's no much a girl can hold on to.I snapped out of those thoughts. Rachel and Alpha Zone said I should stay away from him or at least be as official as I can be with him."Why are you always looking out the window?" I asked."Pardon?" I asked like I wasn't listening to him. All a ploy to act like I'm uninterested in him."Why are you looking out the window?" He asked again."Looking out for rogues. We might never know when they'll plan to attack." I said firmly.He barked out a loud and long laugh. "It's so funny how you have been beaten more times than I can count and you are acting all big and tough." He said."I apologise for not seeing your safety as a funny game." I said with my tone as dry as possible."Touche" he said.

Serena's POVAs soon as we got down from the carriages, Sylvia excitedly walked up to Arden and planted a long kiss on his lips. It's either she did it to spite me or she is truly deeply in love with him. I believe it's the former.She eyed me carefully, probably wondering why I was here and, most importantly, why I was in a guard's uniform."Serena, Zone, I want to personally congratulate you on your successful course in the academy." She said she was a saint.Alpha Zone and I simply bowed in response like we already practised how we'd respond to her."Shall we?" Arden asked."Not yet, my darling." She said, then walked to me. She held my hands like we had a previous rapport, and she would like to rekindle our friendship."I know I haven't always been nice to you, I am truly happy for your progress and success." She said, but I could feel everything she said was a lie. This was all a facade.I forced a smile. "Thank you for your kind words." I said as nicely as possible."When do you
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 53 BEACON OF LIGHT
Serena's POVI listened to Alpha Zone attentively as I am fed up with all Arden put me through and as for what he did tonight, I am getting fed up with and there is so much I can take even for a resilient person. So if he knows a way for me to leave this place for good, I will be more than willing to take my chances."You have the opportunity to get out. All you need to do is complete your three year tenure." He said.I sighed in frustration. "Three years. That's a lot of time.""But at least you're not a servant anymore."He made a fair point, but I was thinking I would be able to get out as soon as possible.I don't understand Arden. He prevented me from leaving when his mother granted me permission to leave. Now this? This is getting too frustrating."Crap! I am always this close," I walk up to him and hold my forefinger and thumb close with very little space in-between them. "This is close. But he ruins everything for me. It's getting so unbearable." I ranted."But there's a brigh
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 54 NEW DISCOVERIES
Serena's POVAfter what felt like hours, I finally heard the door click. I stood up from where I was sitting and stood upright. I waited for a while but no one came out of the room.This is the most impossible job ever.My feet hurt from standing for so long. I've endured training exercises that can be really exhausting but it's better than standing here and enduring the sounds of them while having to be uncomfortable all the while it happened.I heard footsteps in the room and low mumbles but I didn't know what exactly they were talking about and if I'm honest with myself, I'd rather if I didn't.I wish I had my phone with me. I would love to do something to keep me busy and also to know what time it is. But from the moonlight, I can tell it's somewhat around 3am.It's almost morning and I haven't gotten any shut eye. I guess this is one of the things I need to let go as long as I am going to be Arden's guard.I wondered if I should go to the training ground to meet with Alpha Zone b
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 55 NEW FOUND CONFIDENCE
Serena's POVAfter having just four hours of sleep, I was up again and ready for the day's work. I looked in the mirror as I got ready and I realized I had dark eye circles and my hair was a little unruly. I styled it in a messy bun because I didn't have enough time to properly style my hair.I went downstairs and I quickly had breakfast. I wanted to avoid some of the maids as much as possible but I couldn't because Emma was there."Good morning," I said to her."Good morning" she replied back.I went back to my food but I noticed she was looking at me. Her eyes ran along my body trying to take in me in my guard uniform and I could tell what she was thinking.I drank a glass of water like my life depended on it."Thank you so much for the food. It was delicious." I said to her and turned to leave."Thank you," she said. After a bout of silence she spoke again"Congratulations." She said faintly but her voice sounded sincere.I gave her a small smile and thanked her.I went outside and
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 56 THE CHANGES
Serena's POVStill filled with excitement from standing up to Sylvia, I ran into the palace to find Rachel. I could feel my insides bubbling with excitement. I haven't been this excited in a long while and I can't keep this excitement to myself. I need to tell her what happened.I entered her room and she already wore her pants but not her shirt."Um, a little privacy here." She said flatly."Oh please, we shared the same locker room." I said."Because we had no choice." She whined."If you really wanted privacy, you would lock your door." I said factually.She rolled her eyes. "What do you want? I thought you were guarding His Royal Majesty, King Arden." She said mockingly.I don't blame her. I have been pretty annoying with how much I do my job. If I were her, I'd mock myself too."Shush. I have something to tell you." I said in excitement.She stared at me for a while before snapping, "Well, what is it?""I talked back to Sylvia and put her in her place."She furrowed her brows. "I

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 184 A HEAVY BURDEN
Serena’s PoVI stood at the edge of the camp Joachim had given us guests to stay. The plague had taken its toll on us, leaving everyone on edge. They were nervous and even unbelieving of better days. I rubbed my temple, worried that one day, their feelings might be correct.“Serena,” Zone called out, breaking me away from my rancid thoughts. “The patrol spotted movement in the forest.”“What kind of movement?” I asked.“Infected wolves,” he said grimly.It’s almost like we were now used to this life so it was not a surprise to me. “We’ll handle it,” I said grimly.“I just wonder when these crazy attacks would stop. I’m hella tired of them I swear to you.” Zone confessed.“I don’t know that answer to your question, Zone. I wish I knew.” I replied tiredly.When we arrived at the forest, the attack came faster than any
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 183 THE MISSION TO DESTROY THE MAGIC
Serena’s PoVI thought about what Zone had said about the curse and we all decided to fan out to look for the source. Every step seemed like a march towards the unknown. Zone led the way while Ardan stayed close to my side. I walked faster, cause I didn’t want him to sense I was pregnant.The only sound one could hear was coming from the crunch of leaves beneath our boots. The forest was so quiet.“We’re close,” Zone said in a low tone.“How can you tell?” I asked, keeping my voice hushed.Zone gestured to a cluster of withered plants nearby. “The further we go, the more the magic corrupts the area. Look at the trees—dead, but not decayed. It’s like the life was drained out of them.”A shiver ran down my spine. The remnants of Gloria’s magic were everywhere. It was like a dark stain on the land.Suddenly, we heard noises through the trees. A group of infected wolv
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 182 SIGNS AND WONDERS
Serena’s PoVI woke up instantly, feeling like vomiting and obviously it compelled me to quickly come out of the tent. I sat on the ground, vomiting inside a bush in front of me. Then I placed my head down and tried to grab the grass around me to find balance. I breathed in shallow gasps.“Serena?” Rachel’s concerned voice called from behind me.I shifted my head to the side and ran my fingers through my lips. “I’m fine,” I managed to say but even I didn’t believe it.“You’re not fine,” Rachel said firmly, kneeling beside me. Then taking the back of her hand she touched my head and it was quite hot. “You look pale and your pulse is rapid. How long have you been like this?”I shrugged, replying with a shaky tone. “I don’t know. It just started. I just thought it was the stress… everything that’s been happening.”Rachel’s eyes nar
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 181 A FRAGILE PEACE
Serena’s PoVOur days in the rogue pack had surprisingly been more peaceful than I expected as long as we minded our business and they minded theirs.Not until a new pack had arrived seeking sanctuary, and while I understood their desperation, the strain on our resources was undeniable. Food was scarce, tempers were high, and fights were breaking out almost daily."That's the last of it!" a voice shouted near the food supply tent, then came the sound of a scuffle. I turned to see two wolves, one from Ardan’s pack and the other from a newly arrived group, grappling over a bag of dried meat.I hurried over with Zone following me close behind. "Stop it!" I commanded.The two wolves froze with their hands still clutching the bag. “He took more than his share,” the younger wolf from our pack growled. His eyes blazed with anger.The older wolf from the new arrivals scoffed. “We’re starving. You don’t get to hoard everything for yourselves.”I stepped between them and took the bag from their
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 180 A FRAGILE ALLIANCE
Serena’s PoVThe rogue camp was weirdly quiet as Isiah led us deeper into the heart of their territory. Soon, we came across his people. Their eyes were on us in every step we were taking and I could almost feel the judgment from them. These wolves didn’t trust us, and I could not blame them for that. Rogues were known for their distrust of outsiders, especially pure wolves like us.“Stay close,” Ardan murmured as we entered an area where a large tent stood.Isiah pushed aside the heavy canvas flap and then gestured for us to enter. “The alpha is inside. Let me do the talking,” he said firmly.The rogue alpha, a tall elderly man with a few strands of grey hair, stood waiting for us. He radiated authority and one could see it even without him saying a word.“What’s the meaning of this, Isiah?” the alpha asked gruffly. His eyes scanned Ardan and me and they lingered briefly on the bloodstains on our clothes.“These wolves need our help,” Isiah began, gesturing toward us.The alpha scoff
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 179 AN ALLIANCE
Serena’s PoVArdan had just announced his plan to take us to a rogue pack for safety, and Zone was not having it.“You want us to stay with rogues?” Zone spat as his eyes blazed with disbelief. “They’re supposed to be captured or killed, not befriended.”Ardan’s jaw tightened and his patience was visibly thinning. “Not all rogues are alike, Zone. Some are decent. They don’t all live by the bloodthirsty code you think they do.”Zone crossed his arms defiantly. “Decent? You really expect me to believe that? After everything we’ve been through with rogues, you’re seriously asking us to trust them?”Ardan stepped closer. “Do you want to stay out here, Zone? Because every second we stay here, we’re putting the rest of the pack in danger. This isn’t debatable. It’s final.”Zone opened his mouth to argue but snapped it shut, trying to calm down the frustration he felt.I stepped forward. My voice was quieter but firm. “Ardan, I’ll follow you.”He turned to me, hardening his expression. “No,
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
