All Chapters of Be My Second Mate or Die: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Archer.“...this is not something that we can hide any longer, and until we find the root cause of the issue, it’ll be best for every Alpha to be alert and secure all your pack,” Tristian finished speaking, but my mind was away for more than half of his speech.I had gathered all the Alpha in the kingdom for a very needed briefing about the multiplied numbers of tainted wolves in the capital. I could not afford to stay silent about it when I had warriors risking their lives to protect the peace of everyone. I had Tristian give the first announcement in a manner everyone could understand because left to me, I would have all the alphas march to their respective borders and kill anything that as much as breathed the wrong way.“But tainted wolves have been nearly extinct. I do not think the beasts that have appeared are tainted,” Alpha Black leaned into his chair, with a callous look. A few Alphas nodded in agreement with him.“What do you mean by that, Black? Do you think I’d just wake

Ellie.I scrambled around with Archer’s shirt, trying to cover myself, but there was no point because she’d already seen everything.“Who is she? What’s she doing there?” I turned to Archer, but he let out a breath before taking off his shirt and covering me with it.I wasn’t a prude, or new to sex. Hell, up until a few months ago, I was forced to watch my mate have sex with another, so I wasn’t new to it, but there was just something about someone else watching the act that made me feel like banging my head against the wall.“You don’t need to feel so embarrassed,” Ru said, “she’s a witch, and lord only knows what she’s seen in her lifetime.”Ru’s words helped with the embarrassment, but they didn’t take it away completely.“I regret showing myself to you,” the with said, but she was speaking to Archer. “If I had known you’d bind me like this, I would’ve never done it,” she was bitter with regret but she didn’t seem violent. But that voice… I recognized the voice from earlier.“This

Ellie.I was more than surprised when Victoria came to me early this morning to apologize, saying that she was behind sending me out of the palace, and was taking responsibility for all that happened to me.I sensed quickly that Archer had a hand in her action because Victoria I knew would never do such a thing. After her apology she left, without letting me say a word. Julie and I had exchanged the same confused look, but I realized I had been wrong in thinking Archer wanted me gone.Since my arrival at the Palace four days ago, I hadn’t gone close to my small apartment, Julie didn’t let me, saying something about strict orders she received to take me into the palace and to the room directly below Archer’s if she didn’t want her eyes pulled out of their sockets. I lived in the palace since then, with Julie by my side, and frequent visits from Archer.“You know, I’ve been meaning to ask, but I didn’t want to overstep,” Julie sat beside me on the bed, with a cup of ice cream and a spoo

Ellie."I'll do it."I stared star-struck at Victoria, then at Julie, who also couldn't believe what she'd just heard."That's what it'll take right? I'll do it," Victoria spat again, hatred brimming in her narrowed eyes.I nodded and watched her leave, but I couldn't believe she'd just agreed to be my maid for a day, all because Archer asked her to. I was beginning to wonder what dirt Archer had on her to make her agree to do such a thing.In any case, I didn't feel too good about it, because it felt like I shot myself in the leg. I wasn't sure I could spend a whole day with Victoria without either of us killing the other."I think she's possessed by a witch!" Julie sat beside me on the bed. I nodded my head in agreement because it was the only plausible explanation."Either way, I wish you good luck on your little date tomorrow. I'll not be joining 'cause I want you both to fully enjoy your time together," she said in a teasing tone, wiggling her brows with a sly smile.Julie left m

Ellie.It wasn’t until we arrived that I realized that Archer had changed Gilly’s hideout spot. I’d been following Theo blindly until we arrived at one of the rooms in the quarters—where I was supposed to live before I was taken back to the palace.GIlly’s room, however, was on the basement floor of the building. It was also the only room there, with moderate furnishings, like a bed, and a small couch and that was it.I don’t know why I half expected Gilly to still be bound when I arrived, but I was happy she wasn’t. Her eyes lit up when she saw me.“Ah, if it isn’t my most prized discovery,” She said with a smile, causing Theo to tilt his head in confusion, looking between us. I understood his confusion. He wasn’t there when I shifted into my wolf, and no one had spoken about it since then, so much that if it wasn’t that it happened to me directly, I wouldn’t have believed it happened.“Are you here to take me out of here?” She asked, standing to her feet, but I passed her a small sm
