บททั้งหมดของ Be My Second Mate or Die: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Ellie.“Where are you off to, pretty?” Julie asked, wiggling her brows. I nudged her side and winked.“Where else do you think she’s off to with all those baked goods?” I asked. Gilly’s face colored instantly.“My bad, I almost forgot,” Julie covered her face, and we all laughed.It had been two weeks since Gilly’s release from confinement, and Julie and I took it upon ourselves to see to it that she was living a comfortable life in the palace as much as we could.It didn’t take much, however, because Gilly, like Julie, was highly extroverted, she knew how to make friends and have fun. Before long, we became a little trio, and I thought she was okay with that, until she came to me one night, expressing her wish to pursue her mate, who still kept his distance from her.Gilly began taking care of Alpha Tristian; making breakfast for him, cleaning his room, attending to his complaints, and even baking goodies with no one else but him on her mind. While it was endearing to see, it was sti

Archer.“I asked you a simple question, Victoria. Did you or did you not send those maids to harm Tristian’s mate?”I had had enough of Victoria, and everything she stood for. I never forgave her for trying to harm Ellie, then the news came to me that she was behind the maids attack on Tristian’s mate.“I–”“If you dare lie to me, I’ll have your tongue,” I barked harshly. The corner of my lips tipped up in a smirk as she jumped backward at the sound of my voice.“You never showed me any affection,” she yelled, throwing her arms in the air. Irritation flared within me.“You think I wanted to marry you out of affection? You are delusional!”Her eyes widened in shock and betrayal as she watched me, but I couldn’t care less about her feelings.“You did this to embarrass me, and my family,” she cried out, “You chose a maid, an OMEGA over me!” more tears spilled from her face.“Victoria, leave. The wedding is canceled. It will be best for you to return to your father’s pack tonight, than le

Ellie.I woke up to the worst kind of rumor. The kind of rumor that mocked my deepest wish, that I buried deep within my heart.Julie and Gilly were on my bed, staring at me with wide eyes, while I tried to make sense of what they just said: Archer claimed, in a meeting with the council, that I would become Queen, and rule beside him.Now it would’ve been believable if I had not spent the last few months being told I would never become queen or anything close. The most I could be was Archer’s concubine, so where did that come from?“I don’t think the rumor mongers heard him well. He’d never say that, especially to council members,” I turned to Julie, “You know what I’ve been through with him. You’ve witnessed all he did to keep me hidden, right? So this doesn’t make any sense.”I threw my hands over my head.“Well, I would’ve thought it false if it did not directly come from an elder’s mouth. He was complaining about Archer’s decision to some other elders,” Julie said. It was my turn

Ellie.It was as though the rumors that surrounded the palace, claiming I would be the next Luna Queen of the kingdom were not enough. Archer wanted all to know and hear, hence the reason why we were in his office. He was behind a camera, while I watched him from the side in awe and pure delight.It was a broadcast message that would go to all the packs and even TV stations outside our jurisdiction–or so Julie said… I don’t know, it seemed like a prank.Archer had started the broadcast with other messages that focused heavily on what had happened in the Kingdom in the past few days. He addressed that Alpha Black, or Black the Traitor–as everyone now refers to him– had been confined and would be executed in three days, because it wasn’t something that would be displayed for all to watch, and with a matter this serious, it was only normal to update the citizens.“...And lastly, I’m sure everyone has heard this, but just in case you think it’s a rumor, I will say it here for all to hear,

Ellie.“We’re coming along with you,” Julie said with a smile, pointing to herself and Tristian who stood beside her, nodding.“Really?” I asked them and they nodded.“What? Did you think you’d go on your official first mission without us?” Tristian asked and I pursed my lips, hugging them close.“It’s us against the world. Our mates would have to deal with themselves,” Julie said and we laughed.Somehow, I knew Tristian and Julie would end up going with me, whether Archer agreed for me to go or not.“But if we need them to do that, we’d spend as much time with them before we leave,” Tristian said, but his gaze was fixed behind Julie and me. We turned to find Archer and Theo obviously waiting for us. I smiled.“You’re right. Look at their impatient faces,” Julie snickered.“I heard that!” Archer barked. I bit my lower lip, trying to hide my smile. I failed.Julie and I waved to Tristian, hurrying him up to go meet his mate.“See ya later,” Julie smacked my ass–which earned her an imme
