All Chapters of Be My Second Mate or Die: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Ellie.I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of gold and silver. My fingers absently brushed against the cover of the ancient book I’d bought, but it wasn’t the words in its pages that consumed my thoughts. No, it was what Raphael had hinted at about the rogues.When I encountered rogues in Crimson Pack, they had been unwilling to cooperate and only did because they knew what I was capable of. Even while they worked, they had kept their distance, eyes wary and distrustful. I didn’t think much about them because I knew that was their nature, but if there was more to them, I wanted to know. I couldn’t help my curiosity.I glanced at Raphael, but his eyes were on the road. He was quiet. Too quiet. It was as if he could sense the direction of my thoughts, and the questions swirling in my head. He leaned back, his gaze turning lazily toward me.“You’re thinking about the rogues, aren’t you?” His voice broke the silence, smooth and almost amused.I tensed but d

Ellie.I carefully slipped out of my room, glancing down at the maid’s uniform that was still uncomfortably snug. I hated wearing it, but I couldn’t deny it was the perfect disguise to move unnoticed. Keeping my head low, I moved through the palace, careful not to attract attention.I weaved through the guards and maids, making my way to the kitchen garden, from where I’d exit the palace. My heart raced as I slipped through the doors, unnoticed. I was out.Now, I had to reach the Royal Hospital.Archer was there. My mate. My heart ached at the thought of seeing him again. It felt like I hadn’t seen it for so long when in reality it was just about two days.Two days was too many days of uncertainty, wondering if he was alright. But I was going to see him, and that was all that mattered.I kept my head down as I walked briskly through the palace grounds, trying to blend in with the other workers. My mind raced with thoughts of Archer, of the relief I would feel just to be in his presenc

Ellie.The palace was alive with noise, but the tension in the air was unmistakable. I sat in front of a large vanity mirror, staring at my reflection as the maids fussed over me, their fingers weaving through my hair and touching up my makeup. My dress, a dark green that hugged my figure, shimmered in the soft light of the room, yet it felt like a cage.Even with all the chaos around me, I had my telepathy active. I sensed every presence within the palace walls—the guards at every entrance, the nobles arriving one by one. But what really made me smile was the familiar presence of Julie, Tristian, Gilly, and Theo as they entered the palace. The squad had arrived.I could sense them even before the maids were done, and I couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at the corner of my lips. Everything was in place.I knew Raphael would arrive soon. He always did, eager to parade me around, as if that would somehow make his pathetic impersonation of Archer more convincing. As if I didn’t despise

Ellie.Archer’s laughter echoed through the hall, and I couldn’t help but shiver. The sound of it was unsettling, like the calm before a storm. Raphael stood frozen, his reluctance to engage clear for everyone to see.“You’re no king, Raphael,” Archer said with a low chuckle, his voice brimming with amusement. His confidence was undeniable—this was the true King Archer.Archer began walking through the crowd, casually identifying the Alphas and nobles around the room, something Raphael could never do.“Alpha Marrow of Sky Pack,” he said with an easy nod, “It’s been a while. I trust your son’s healing abilities have developed?”Marrow’s face turned ghostly pale. The room fell silent as everyone exchanged stunned glances. That incident of his son’s failed ability had been a closely guarded secret, something only those within the Sky Pack, could have known. Even I didn’t know about it. Archer was proving himself with every word.He continued moving through the room, exposing hidden truth

Archer.The day had finally arrived. I stood in my room, leaning against the wall, staring out of the large window that overlooked the bustling courtyard below. The entire kingdom was alive with excitement for my wedding—a moment I never thought would come, especially not like this. If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be standing here, preparing to marry Ellie, I would’ve laughed in their face. Marriage was never part of my plans, much less to a mate. And yet, now, I couldn’t imagine a future without her.Yet here I was, standing on the precipice of something monumental. A future I hadn't planned for but now couldn't imagine without her. I'd spent so long without a mate, that the thought of finding my mate just to stay alive felt like a chore for me, but Ellie–Ellie had changed everything.And now the thought of her not being mine sent a firestorm of rage and fear coursing through me."You look like you're about to wage war, not get married,” Tristian chuckled from behind me.
