All Chapters of Mate? Or Die!: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Dominic’s voice was low as he leaned against the edge of the table in his chambers with his sharp eyes locked on me. The tension in the room was clearly suffocating.“Do you even know what it means to be a rogue, Serena?” he began with a hint of bitterness in his tone. “Do you understand what it’s like to be cast aside? To be hunted and branded as a monster, no matter what you do?”I stood rigidly across from him with my hands clenched at my sides. “I know they’ve been wronged,” I said carefully, refusing to let him see the discomfort his intensity caused me. “I know their suffering is real. That’s why I’m telling you there has to be another way.”Dominic laughed bitterly. “Another way,” he repeated mockingly. “You sound just like Zone. Always the optimist, always looking for the “peaceful” solution.”The mention of Zone caught me off guard, but Dominic’s expression darkened as he continued.“We weren’t always enemies, you know,” he said, with his voice softening for a moment. “Zone a

The hall buzzed with conversations of the gathered alphas and the elders. My arm was firmly entwined with Dominic’s as we moved through the crowd, exchanging pleasantries and forced smiles. Every word, every laugh, felt like I was going through hell on earth.The alphas were here to celebrate my supposed return, praising my “deeds” and lauding Dominic’s fabricated heroics. If they knew the truth, the air would be charged with rage, not admiration.“You’ve truly inspired us all, Queen Serena,” an older alpha said, bowing slightly. “Your strength and resilience are legendary.”“Thank you,” I replied softly despite the bitterness I felt burning in my chest.Dominic leaned down, kissing me on my cheek, showing off our “loving” relationship. “My queen deserves every word of praise,” he said smoothly. His voice was just loud enough for others to hear.I clenched my teeth, forcing myself to remain calm. The weight of his arm around mine made my skin crawl, but I forced myself to play the rol

The sound of raised voices in alarm drew me to the main hall, where a group of injured wolves had just returned from their mission. Their tattered clothes and bloodied limbs told me everything before a word was spoken, but I stepped forward, pushing past the worried murmurs of the gathered pack.“What happened?” I asked in a steady tone despite the unease I felt in my stomach.One of the scouts, a young wolf named Ezra, stepped forward. He winced while pressing a hand to a gash on his side. “When we out to the villages we noticed strange movements on their grounds. It was a rogue group. We tracked them to the outskirts of the eastern village,” he said with his voice tight with pain. “But they weren’t alone.”My heart sank. “Who was with them?”Ezra hesitated, glancing at his companions. “Witches,” he said finally. “Three of them. They weren’t just aiding the rogues—they were commanding them. The rogues fought like they didn’t care if they lived or died, and the witches used spells to

The scent of smoke filled the air and it was thick and suffocating. My bare feet crunched against ash-covered ground as I moved through the forest with my breath coming in shallow gasps. The trees were on fire and its branches were falling down haphazardly.Just then, I heard the cry of a child, shrill and desperate. My heart jumped, and I moved forward, searching for the source of the sound. The cries grew louder and it touched me.“Where are you?” I called with my voice breaking.A faint silhouette emerged from the smoke—a small figure standing in the middle of the flames. The child turned toward me with their face streaked with tears, but their eyes were black pits, void of emotion.“Help me,” the child whispered. It’s voice echoed naturally.Before I could move, whispers surrounded me, hissing and cruel. “Betrayal. Blood. The end is near.“The flames surged higher, engulfing the child in an instant. I screamed, reaching out, but my hands grasped nothing but heat and smoke. The for

The pack had gathered in the courtyard under the rising sun as I outlined the defensive strategies we’d need in the days ahead. My words carried purpose, but the wolves’ eyes betrayed their fear and uncertainty. As much as I worked to unite them, cracks were forming beneath the surface.I didn’t see Gilly at first. She emerged from the shadows near the edge of the circle with her face pale and her eyes wild.“Enough!” she shouted with her voice trembling but loud enough to stop me mid-sentence.All eyes turned to her, and my stomach sank. What the hell was she about to say I feared.“Gilly,” I said cautiously, stepping toward her. “What’s wrong?”She pointed a shaking finger at me as her face contorted with anger and pain. “You,” she spat with her voice breaking. “It’s always you, Serena. You’re the reason we’re suffering. The reason this pack is falling apart.”Murmurs erupted through the crowd, and I could feel their unease growing.“Gilly, that’s not true,” I said firmly, trying to
