Mate? 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

Serena's POVI felt my breathing hitch and my palms becoming clammy. I didn't think he would be here. He didn't answer when I knocked. Oh, why didn't he answer?"Serena." He said sweetly.I took a deep breath then turned to him. He had a towel hanging from his waist with water droplets running down his chest and his hair still damp. He looked absolutely irresistible."I'm sorry, I thought the room was empty." I said."As you can see, it's not." He joked.I chuckled dryly. "Right. Well, I have to go." I turned to leave but he stopped me."Hey, hey, what's the rush?" He asked with his voice laced with amusement."I have something to take care of." I turned and replied."No you don't. I assign your tasks to you and unless you're helping Rachel or Zone, which they can very much handle on their own, you are free at the moment." He said.I swallowed the lump in my throat and smiled. "Of course. What do you need?" I asked.He walked closer to me and I kept walking back until I got to the wal
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 58 PARTY CRASHER
Serena's POVI have felt pain before. In fact, I had learnt to deal and live with pain, but the greatest pain of all was watching my mate look at another woman like she was the one destined for him to be with.He seemed to have forgotten me and him wanting me because there was something that was better than me in front of him, and it was Princess Sylvia.He walked up to her and gave her a kiss, and I felt my chest burn even more. I wish I could get out of here. I wish I could disappear into thin air, but I can't. I have to stay and watch the entire thing from the sidelines.I watched as they mingled with the crowd. They were walking hand in hand, and I could hear Sylvia laughing at what someone said and Arden looking impressed. If I didn't know them, I'd think they were a perfect couple, but no one is perfect.After a while, Arden and Sylvia took to the stand for his speech. "Today marks the beginning of a new era, where two packs unite to become one. As I take Princess Sylvia as my b
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 59 OLD PROBLEMS RESURFACING
Serena's POVWhile Alpha Zone checked the security cameras for how this person came in and got out, Rachel was tending to my wounds. I have taken plenty of hits over the years so this isn't a big deal.Arden angrily paced in front of us while Sylvia looked scared to death. "Zone had one job." He started."To secure a perimeter with hundreds of people? Come on Arden, it would be impossible for him to have noticed that person go in." Rachel said."And if not for Serena, I would have been dead." He added.Rachel sighed loudly. "Don't be so dramatic. I would heal you and the hospital would have finished the job and you'd be as good as new." She said,"Rachel, this isn't a joke. Someone tried to kill Arden. They most likely are rogues or paid assassins." Sylvia said.Before Rachel would say anything, Alpha Zone walked in. "We couldn't get clear footage of the person unfortunately.""Crap! I cannot believe you Zone." Arden yelled."Why are you yelling at me? How could I have known all the p
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 60 AWKWARD!
Serena's POVI woke up feeling more beat than how I was yesterday. My arm hurts more from the wound I got from being stabbed, and I intend to see a doctor today. Rachel helped with the healing, but there's so much she can do.I realised I slept in my uniform, and I needed to change out of them and freshen up. I got up from bed, and it felt like gravity acting on my arm worsened the pain.I sat on my bed and picked up my phone to call Rachel."Good morning. How are you?" Rachel asked. She sounded tired, which was out of character for her. No matter how busy, she tries to get a good amount of sleep."I'm okay," I said, but my voice said otherwise."Are you sure? You sound like you're in pain.""I'm good. I need new clothes, and I don't have any here…""I'll be in your room in five minutes with clean clothes." She said softly, then hung up.I took off my uniform, and I realised the wound I had looked dark and unhealthy, almost like it was infected.I heard the door open, and I turned to
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 61 JEALOUSY
Serena's POVAfter breakfast, I went to find Alpha Zone because we needed to walk. He has been acting weird around me and I can't take it anymore. I want to know if he's mad at me or if i did anything wrong.I saw him giving orders to other guards ,and I didn't want to interrupt him. As soon as he was done, he turned to me. He sighed and attempted to walk away from me."Hey?" I said as I followed him.He was walking a little faster than husual,and I had to pick up my pace. I maintained that pace stohconversewith him ,but I felt out of breath ,and it looked like I was practically running."Zone, why have you been cold to me?" I asked."I have just been busy." He said flatly."Really? I've been b, sy too ,but you don't see me acting like a jerk about it." I spat out.He stopped and turned to me. "There you have my attention. Say what you want so I can go back to work."I scoffed. "What is with you? You kept looking at me weirdly at the table.""When were you going to tell me about your
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 62 UNCOVERING THE TRUTH
Arden's POVAfter seeing that Serena was well, I returned to the palace. I needed to find out who that way and why they would attack me.The zone was correct when he said he couldn't distinguish the person because there were so many others coming in, but I know for a fact that as long as it was by invitation, the person who came in had an invitation.I got into the palace, and I was greeted by a guard I tasked to investigate this issue."Any update?" I asked."Yes, sir, but I'm afraid you won't be pleased about it." He said anxiously.I stared at him with annoyance and impatience. "Well, get to it.""It was probably a servant." He said."Probably? So, you're not sure?" I asked."It was a servant, sir." He quickly corrected himself."Ask her to see me in my throne room. So as Alf." I said, then went into the throne room.I sat down and remembered how she saved my life. She could have said she couldn't get to me in time and let the dagger hurt me, but she didn't. And now, I will not res
Last Updated : 2024-08-13Mate? Or Die! Chapter 63 UNCOVERED TRUTH
Arden's POVSylvia looked like life was drained from her. She looked pale and utterly confused. Her mind must be running a double shift trying to figure out what to say to either cover it up or lie, but she knows she can't do that with me. I knew she did it, and like a cornered cat, she had no choice but to accept her fate."Arden, listen, I didn't mean to…""The answer, Sylvia, not excuses," I said in a low growl."Yes, it was me. I did it." She admitted.I looked at her in awe but mostly in anger. How could she do such an awful thing to her? Even if I mistreated Serena, she had no right to treat her this way."Why? Did you realise if she missed, I would be the one hurt and in the hospital right now?" I growled.I was losing my temper, and I don't know how long I could keep holding my anger. I felt my heart pumping so hard, but I tried to look calm on the outside."Yes, I do, and I was banking on the fact that Serena would never let anything bad happen to you. She would protect you n

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
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 175 BOUND BY PERCEPTION
Ardan’s PoVI was at the training ground and all I could hear was the sound of fists connecting with bodies. I watched as Isiah led his group through drills. The fighters moved in rhythm, their movements were sharp, disciplined, and efficient. Though they were rogues, they were unlike any I had encountered before—focused, loyal, and united.I stood off to the side, watching with a detached curiosity. My blade was hung at my side, freshly sharpened but unused. I still wanted revenge but for now, I was unsure.“Enjoying the show?” Isiah said as he approached me.I turned to him, crossing my arms. “You’ve got a good group.”He smiled, but his expression was questioning. “Not like I want you gone but what are you still doing here, Ardan? You said you’d leave. Changed your mind?”“No,” I replied firmly. “I just need a few more days to think about where I’m going n
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 174 FRESH START
Ardan’s PoVI sharpened my blade across a huge stone by the fireside. Sparks flew in the dark. The heat felt warm on my face, but my boiling chest was full of hardly controllable anger and betrayal.In the camp, everyone was in motion, busy with one thing or the other and some of the rogues treated me like an outcast. They had taken me in days ago, finding me broken and wandering with no purpose. They had rescued me from fainting in the middle of nowhere. Then they brought me here and took care of my illness. Sometimes, I disliked that they were essential for my survival and I couldn’t pretend that they were not nice to me.“Sharpening that blade as if heading for combat,” a voice said beside me.I glanced up to see Isiah, one of the rogues who had found me. He was almost built like I was but he was more muscular, with keen eyes which seemed to never miss a thing. He knelt next to me, leaning forward and placing his hands on his kn
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 173 A DRUNKARD
Ardan opened my room and stepped inside while holding me in his arms. He dropped me on my bed.“I’m gonna get you something. Don’t go anywhere, you’re not yourself.” He said and all I could do was laugh and cry and laugh again.Soon after, he entered, bearing a minuscule cup of some substance that was still steamy. His face was tense and his lips pressed together in an thin line as he moved towards me.“You’re awake? I thought that you would have been sleeping by now,” He remarked.“Scarcely,” I said, rubbing my temples.He set the cup down on the nightstand beside me. “Drink this. It’ll help.”I took hold of the cup and as I did the harsh smell hit me first and I scowled. “What is this? It smells awful.”“It’ll sober you up,” he said , crossing his arms over his chest .I took the cup, moved it around, looked into the cup only to throw it away violently the next instance. It made contact with the wall and as it did, it’s content splattered everywhere.“Oops,” I said, laughing.“Seren
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 172 A FUNCTION
Days has passed since Ardan was banished… since I banished him, and today, the council hall was filled with voices from every corner. I simply stood by the side, clasping my hands and trying to mask the anxiety that I felt. Their eyes were all on me and it me feel exposed and vulnerable, like I was standing at the edge of the cliff with no were to go but down.Caden stood front and centre. His posture was relaxed though commanding. He was the natural born leader.“Today,” he began, smiling, “we stand at a turning point. The pack has faced challenges—betrayals, attacks, and uncertainty. But through it all, one person has remained steady, guiding us, protecting us.”He turned to me with pride. “Serena, the Wolf mother, our new alpha.”Everyone present began cheering aloud. The pack chanted my name with respect.“She has proven herself more competent than any leader before her,” Caden continued. “More competent than Ardan ever was.”The whole crowd gathered immediately agreed.“Hot-heade
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
