Mate? Or Die! Chapter 79 COLD MATE AND AWFUL BULLIES
Author's POVAfter the banquet last night, Gilly was feeling down, and she also felt worse because she didn't have the opportunity to talk to Alpha Zone even though she did see him at the banquet last night. He looked so cold and nothing like Serena said, but Gilly knew Serena wouldn't lie to me about him. She had been honest and kept her word, so Alpha Zone should be far from what she told Gilly about him.She went to the kitchen, and luckily, no maid was there. So she went to work quickly before anyone could catch her. She made Alpha Zone breakfast. She made bread for him, went to the garden to get fresh fruits, and made hot tea.She was excited as she went up to his room, but when she got there, she realized that he wasn't there. She felt downcast; she did all that she did for nothing. She turned to leave, but she realized his room was messy.She kept the food and tidied up the room, leaving it spotless. Then, she noticed he had torn clothing, and she mended it.While she was mendi
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 80 IT NEVER ENDS
Serena's POV"What is going on here? I asked. I saw Gilly on the ground and a maid's feet on a book.I knew exactly what was going on. They were bullying her just because she was raised by witches. What's worse is that after we told them not to do it, they went ahead to do it because they think they can get away with anything they do just as they got away with bullying me."Serena, I was just trying to read and…""I wasn't asking you." I said to Gilly, who was trying to explain. I know if I let Gilly speak, she will downplay the situation. I didn't want this situation downplayed.I walked in front of her, making the maid remove her leg from the good and take a step back. "I was asking you." I asked with all the venom I had in me.I recognized one of the maids. She was an omega from my pack. One of the very few who survived the witches' attacks. I would have expected bullying from an Alpha or Beta but an Omega? It was awful to see the cycle continuing. Even after everything they saw I
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 81 NONCHALANCE
Serena's POVAfter returning the books to the library, we went to her room. I checked to see if she was hurt, but thankfully, she wasn't. She didn't speak. She just sat down in her bed, looking downcast.I sat next to her and pulled her close to me. She took a deep breath and she started crying. I held her close as she sobbed uncontrollably. I could help it, but tears also began to flow from my eyes."Serena, why are they so cruel? I just wanted to read. I just wanted to…" she took in breath sharply."I know. I know. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry they treated you so horribly." I said"It was more than horrible. I was treated like I killed someone or committed a horrible crime. I wish I never came out of my secret chambers." She said hurtfully.I was sad because I knew what I had to do to get her out, and she isn't even happy being here. I wanted her to have freedom. It seems like she traded one prison for another."I am very sorry about that, Gilly." I said."What di
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 82 NEW COUPLE AND FULL TRANSFORMATION
Serena's POVAfter talking sense into Alpha Zone, I went back to Gilly as promised. She was already fast asleep in bed. I can imagine how tired it must be. It's been a long day for her, and it's good she rests.I decided to sit and wait till she woke up. She needs all the comfort she can get, and she will have enough from me as a friend.After a while, I realized that if she woke up, she would be hungry. I went to the kitchen, and I asked the maids to make lunch for Gilly. The two maids I confronted were there. I stay and watch them do it. Those girls are vile, and they could poison the food. I watched them keenly. Call a way for me subtly reminding them I will not hesitate to make their life miserable if they try to do anything, no matter how tiny, to hurt Gilly.Once they were done, I took the food and went back to Gilly's room. I saw the door was partly open, and I heard Alpha Zone's voice."Serena told me you were attacked earlier. Are you hurt?" He asked."No. Thanks to her. She
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 83 PROMOTION
Serena's POVAfter I recovered from the process of transforming into a werewolf, I decided to take Gilly to meet Arden so I can tell him about the great powers she possesses and how helpful it can be to the Kingdom and other packs at large.Gilly wasn't completely on board with the idea of telling him about her abilities. She wasn't sure if he would accept her because she was raised by witches, and Serena had faith that he would.They met Arden in the throne room, and he was looking like he would rather not see anyone at this hour, but when he saw it was Serena, he decided to give them his attention."Arden, I know it's late but I need you to know something important." I said.He looked at me curiously. "What is it?" He asked.I know what he is probably thinking. Gilly must have done something that proved she was on the witches side, and she should be punished. That's what anyone would think, but this time, he is in for the shock of his life."Gilly can create potions and essence to m
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 84 THE LAST STRAW
Serena's POVWe both stared at Sylvia standing over Gilly's almost lifeless body. How did she do so much damage in a matter of minutes? I knew Sylvia was strong, but I never learned to what extent."Answer me, Sylvia!" Zone yelled at the top of his voice.Sylvia looked surprised. "Me? Ask this witch of a mate what she did to me?"Sylvia must be utterly insane if she believes, even for a second, that she is the victim. Both Gilly and I were going to pass her to avoid trouble, but she was the one who ran mad all of a sudden."Sylvia, I can tolerate everything you have done in this palace, but hurting my mate is the one thing I will not take lightly." He said in anger.He was heartbroken and saddened by the sight of Gilly. He only made amends with her, and Sylvia decided to do this horrible and cruel act."What is your problem? Why do you enjoy tormenting people?" I asked with all the venom in me."For your information, it was your fault this happened." She snapped.I looked at her with
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 85 AND SHE'S OUT
Serena's POVI was lying on the floor in so much pain, but I tried my best not to look pitiful, but that wasn't the case. I looked pathetic at best, and this was not the entrance I would make to see Arden.I could still sense Zone and Arden hovering over me, probably wondering how to get me up without causing excruciating pain."Move." I heard.I lifted my head, and I was Gilly. How was she able to get out of bed so quickly?She came to my side, and she applied something to my wound. At first, it was hurting, but later, it became soothing.When she was done, she turned back and walked away despite the number of times Zone called for her. It was no doubt one of the things she learnt from the witches.I sat down first before slowly rising to my feet. The wound still hurt, but it wasn't as bad as before."Are you alright?" Arden asked."Better now," I replied. I looked down at the wound, and it was still there.I guess what she applied was for that pain and not for the wound to heal comp
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 86 DISASTROUS RUMORS
Serena's POVI went to meet Gilly, and I found out she had made a complete recovery very quickly. I was very happy about that, yes, but I was confused as to how that was possible.She gave me something to drink, and my wound started to heal until there was no sign of the wound."How did you…""I'm not an experienced witch doctor for nothing." She said with a wink. "I heard Sylvia was kicked out of the palace."I nodded in response. I'm still trying to process the fact that Arden asked Sylvia to leave the palace. It's what I wanted him to do, but now that he has done it, I don't know what to feel about it."And?" She asked."And what?""How do you feel about it?"I sighed and rubbed my palms together. "I don't know. It's so weird that Arden called off the wedding, and Sylvia is out of the palace." I said.Gilly cocked her head in confusion."Don't get me wrong. I like that she's out of here, but what now? Is he going to make me his bride, or is he going to find another person? Everythi

Mate? Or Die! Chapter 116 ONE BIG SACRIFICE
Sylvia found me in the dungeon with Ardan and Dominic. She lunged at me, wanting to hit me when I stepped back and she fell on her face.“Go back there, now!” She demanded but I refused to move. “Dominic, tell her to move!” Sylvia demanded but Dominic chuckled. He told Sylvia to get out.“Get out? Pardon me?” Sylvia asked confused.“Don’t make repeat myself, Sylvia.” Dominic threatened and with her head low, she walked out of the dungeon.I then stood behind Dominic, watching Ardan’s battered body writhing on the stretcher. His wounds festered with angry red streaks spreading over his skin. I heart broke by just merely staring at him.Dominic stood tall in front of me. He turned his head slightly, as he looked over Ardan with indifference. “He’ll survive—hopefully,” he muttered.I stopped myself from lashing out. Sally was furious. She hated the way I was still even in this circumstance. But I couldn’t risk it. Not yet.Ardan’s eyes landed on me. His voice was hoarse. “Serena… what ar
Mate? Or Die! Chapter 115 A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
My wrists ached from the tightness of the chains binding me. Sylvia had dressed me up in a maids costume just so she could mock me even more.“This was exactly what Gloria talked about. Gilly, Zone. They all warned us but we were blinded by it all.” Sally snared furious at being subdued.Sylvia sat across from me, lounging on a plush chair with a cruel smirk playing at the corner of her lips.“You’ve grown weaker, Serena,” she said, tracing a finger along the armrest. “Pathetic, really. And to think this room once belonged to you.”I blinked, glancing around. This truly was once my room.Sylvia’s laughter broke the silence. “Ah, so you do remember. Don’t worry; I’ve made a few improvements since then.”“You’re delusional if you think this changes anything,” I snapped.Sylvia leaned forward with her eyes narrowing. “Why are you doing this?” I asked, keeping my tone steady.She tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Why?” she repeated. “Are you really asking me that, Serena?”“Humour me,
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
