All Chapters of Mate? Or Die!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Serena's POVHe pulled me up until I was on my feet again. I could feel my heart hammering loudly in my chest and I won't be surprised if he can hear it too. My breathing was fast and uneven. I couldn't tell if it was because I almost fell or the fact that he caught me.He stared at me for a while with shock in his eyes, I'm assuming he too was scared about the fact that I almost fell. His eyes moved from shock to softest."Are you okay?" He asked softly.I tried to open my mouth to speak but my voice seemed to be lost for the moment. I was still in shock and everything happened in an instance. I am still trying to process that that just happened.During this time, he refused to let me go. His eyes were soft then they stared into mine showing nothing but care and concern for my well-being.Now I wonder, how was he able to move that fast to catch me. I knew Arden was fast but I didn't think it would be that fast."Serena, are you okay?" He asked again. I realized I was quiet the entire

Serena's POVWe both stayed quiet a while because neither of us wanted to revisit that topic we dropped, most especially me. As much as I had so much hope for the fact that Arden cares, I can keep myself in the dark and pretend he hasn't hurt me before. That might be a reason why I might never trust their vague words. Unless he comes out to tell me what his intentions are, I will not hold out hope foolishly.I glanced at him and he seemed uneasy. I understand though. He is trying to put in a good word for his good friend but it isn't working. He might think he failed to get me to believe what Arden says and I feel bad for him for being disappointed but I'm choosing to be selfish for once.I didn't like how quiet we both are so I decided to bring up a topic that will lighten the mood because I don't like how long this silence has lasted."Rachel seems so fond of you. She kept talking about your date with her last night. Seems like she's very fond of you" I said.He looked at me and the

Serena's POVI was completely confused, and I had nothing to say. What was there to say, I am completely lost. This is ridiculously. This is so messed up. I can't believe this is the secret war we need to fight, and I thought Derek was the main enemy. The witches had planned this through and through. If anything happens, they will attack.Also, Arden was cursed, and I'm his second mate. This is too much information to get at once. If his previous mate was killed in advance, then who am I? Am I his mate truly? Or am I just a means of delay? Is this why Arden never truly loved me?"Serena, you look deadly pale, and I'm worried. You want anything to eat or drink. I didn't know a werewolf could be this pale." Gilly said in panic."I'm okay. Really, I am." I said, but I didn't sound convincing at all."No. I can't risk Arden finding out that you came to see me and that you became this pale. He might think I tried to kill you." She said in a whisper."Gilly, I can assure you that I am fine.

Serena's POVI looked at Gilly Ponder for a while after she said she didn't believe me. It seemed like she must have also thought about the points I gave. It's miserable how tense things are because if she could go out, all she needs is one day with Alpha Zone, and she would change her mind about all of the doubts she has."So, he is a nice guy?" She asked again."He is just a little grumpy sometimes," I said, and she smiled. "I can already tell that you two will be good together, and you will be together forever.""I hope so." She said, and she meant it.Unlike earlier, she looked happy and excited, with a glint of hope in her eyes. I'm thrilled to see she isn't being sceptical about Alpha Zone, and I hope he does treat her nicely, too."Gilly, I need to leave now," I said to her,She looked downcast for a moment, and that broke my heart. She needs someone always to come and visit her. I know Alpha Zone is busy these days, and I was just lucky, but it isn't right that she's always le

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
