บททั้งหมดของ Be My Second Mate or Die: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Ellie.I watched in shock, Vito running towards our direction, scratch that, my direction, in full speed. The first thing I noticed about him was that he didn’t look sane, but I couldn’t put my finger on why until he fully approached me with a growl and his lengthened claws aimed in my direction.Now, the last time I met with Vito was when he blackmailed me into giving him some money and getting him back in Archer’s good graces, which I didn’t do, but I didn’t it was that serious of a matter for Vito to lunge at me like that.“Ellie, watch out!” Tristian yelled. I turned my head to him, and in that split second, I took my eyes off Vito, his fist connected to my stomach, sending me flying backward.Tristian whose reason for calling me was to assist me in evading Vito’s attack, was however thrown to the ground before he could reach me. It all happened at once and no one had time to react accordingly.I raised myself, coughing out to release the pressure from my throat, but Vito didn’t g

I marched with my little squad to the warehouse where we kept the rogues when the sun came up. I had wanted us to visit Vito first, but I decided against it, thinking it would be better to question those who had come from the outside. It would be far better to listen to their story to know what they were about, how the attack came to be, and if truly, a witch was behind them.“You know, if a witch is involved we’d have to send for Gilly,” Julie said as we approached the warehouse.“Or Fay,” Tristian added, and I tilted my head to the side in thought.Fay was almost invisible, so much that I could count the number of times I’d met her on one hand, and I’d still have some fingers left.“I doubt Fay will come. She only listens to Archer and no one else,” Julie shook her head and I nodded, while Tristian laughed.When we entered the warehouse, some of the rogues got on their knees, and the ones that didn’t, couldn’t because of their injuries.I had spared their lives but that didn’t mean

Ellie.I opened my eyes to complete darkness, sitting up abruptly as sweat and tears trickled down my face to my chest. My breathing was heavy and my chest pounded loudly, at the vividness of what I came to realize was a dream, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of dread.“What’s the matter, Ellie?” Ru asked. For a few seconds, I could not talk, I could only look around me to be sure that I wasn’t in another nightmare.“I think Archer is in trouble,” I said. Ru became alert. I narrated my dream to her, and when she heard it, she froze.“I feel it. Something is definitely wrong with him,” she said, and a foreboding feeling passed between us.“We have to return to the capital,” I told her, anxiety flowing through my veins.“I agree, but what are we going to do about this pack?” She asked.I took a deep breath and released it.“We’ll have to trust Brad to lead everyone safely until we return. Who knows, We’ll get to the palace and see that he’s doing okay. This is probably nothing,” I

Ellie.“You’ll never find him,” The imposter yelled, laughing, as he grabbed the bars to the cell, “because I’ll make sure you’re dead before you do.”I turned to the cell wide-eyed, a tiny fact clicking in my head.Was it possible for a random wolf to take shapeshift into Archer and make such declarations? I didn’t think so. Only a wolf with authority of his own would dare to pose as Archer.“Not if I kill you first, Rogue King.”It was a stretch, but seeing how his eyes lighted up told me I was right, and he was indeed the rogue king.Tristan parted his lips to speak, but I grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulling him with me out of the dungeon before guards arrived, because it was obvious the Rogue King planned to delay our movements until reinforcements came.We ran towards the back of the dungeon building to follow a hidden passageway to the gym, where we stopped to rest a bit, before sneaking off to the living quarters, where Archer kept Gilly for a while when she arrived.I urged

Ellie.“You know, we have to give it to him, the rogue king I mean. He skillfully attacked Crimson pack to throw us off, because he knew all our attention would be focused on the attack and not on the capital.”I nodded.“I think it’s safe to say he infiltrated the capital on the night we left for Crimson Pack, cause how else was he able to act so swiftly?” I said with a sigh.“You’re right,”“I mean, there’s also a little secret that Gilly told me, about the witches and how they have a hideout outside the capital so that it could’ve been with their help too,” I told her.“I’m beginning to realize this is much bigger than us,” I detected a hint of worry in Julie’s voice, which marked the first time I’d heard her sound that way.“It may seem that way, but think about it this way. We are so powerful that it took two enemies to unite to bring us down,” I told her. Even as I said the words, I couldn’t help but question myself.Were we truly powerful if an imposter could take over the enti
