Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Lilith descended from the air, satisfied with the chaos below. However, as her toe touched the ground, she sensed something amiss and attempted to leap to the side. At that moment, Eric emerged from the shadows, biting down on her shoulder. Lilith went limp, and the wand in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

“Ah-!” Lilith’s carelessness led to a painful scream, but her gaze remained unflinchingly composed as she chanted incantations rapidly.

Eric firmly gripped her neck, attempting to tear her head off, but a moment of doubt flashed through him.

Suddenly, Lilith’s body emitted a faint green light, and a pitch-black beam shot out from the fallen wand, striking Eric and freezing him in place.

“What-?” Cold sweat broke out on Eric’s forehead. Lilith turned slowly, a mocking smile on her face, her hand reaching for his neck.

The witch in the black robe laughed, opening her mouth and uttering softly, “Die.”

Then a searing pain pierced Eric’s frozen body. The black mist from the wand enveloped him, ultimately consuming him.

“My son-” Mylixe was startled by the abrupt severance of the mind link with Eric, letting out a scream of agony. Her eyes immediately filled with red blood vessels, and like an arrow, she rushed at the black-robed wizard in front of her, tearing off his head.

Alpha Trnald, witnessing the increasing casualties among the wolf pack, suggested to Cyril that they should retreat as soon as possible.

Cyril restrained his anger, well aware of the dire situation the wolf pack was in. He quickly used mind link to contact everyone, and in the darkness, they swiftly fled north.

Outside the Dark Moon City, the atmosphere among the wolf pack was heavy. They had just lost a crucial companion. In fact, Lilith’s dark magic was more potent within her own city, making the entire battle deadly for the wolves.

Now, they needed greater assistance to combat the forces of darkness.

“My son has been sacrificed! What do we do now?” Mylixe, in profound pain, almost ran out of tears. She had no strength left to fight.

“The black-robed wizards are not bound by the peace agreement, but they clearly assist the vampires,” Theo concluded.

Cyril agreed with this view, understanding that even with a peace agreement, the vampires of the Northern Continent would not easily submit. The continent was now in chaos, a vampire land without a king.

“We must find Hazel,” Cyril said calmly. “Find their queen and restore their order.”

“But Hazel might not make them abide by the agreement,” Alpha Trnald raised a doubt. “We’ll need the witches’ power.”

Dealing with magical forces required even more potent magic in response.

“How many wolves do we have left now?” Cyril looked at Theo.

After the recent blue fireball attack, the wolf pack suffered heavy losses.

“The Iron Star Pack is down to Theo, Parrish, Rankin, and Viola, and Elmer…”

“My wolf pack has only a handful of warriors left…” Alpha Trnald couldn’t hide the pain in his heart.

“I’ve lost my son, and I’m not willing to engage in any more battles.” Mylixe disagreed with continuing the search for the half-blood vampire; she was soaked in grief.

“Mylixe…” Parrish, who also lost a partner, walked over to her, expressing understanding.

Cyril looked at the remaining werewolves, realizing he couldn’t show any weakness. He had to make a decision immediately.

“I am deeply saddened by Eric’s departure, but our fight cannot end here,” Cyril regained his usual authority. “Alpha Eric’s wolf pack, I am willing to integrate your remaining warriors into The Iron Star Pack. We will become a family.”

Cyril walked towards Mylixe, extending his right hand, reminiscent of the time he helped their wolf pack dispel danger.

“Mylixe, I promise to protect the remaining wolf pack,” Cyril said firmly.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Tears streamed down Mylixe’s face. She had no other choice; the wolf pack always needed an Alpha. Now, with their wolf pack losing its Alpha, Eric having no mate or heir, and Mylixe being an aging female wolf, even returning to the Northern Pack would leave them vulnerable to potential invasions by other Packs.

Joining The Iron Star Pack was undoubtedly the best choice.

“On behalf of my wolf pack, we join The Iron Star Pack,” Mylixe wiped her tear-streaked face and shook Cyril’s right hand.

“Now we need to decide on the next course of action, Cyril,” Alpha Trnald reminded with concern.

“I will select suitable warriors to go with me and bring Hazel back.”

“Trnald, if the witch is willing to help us, I believe she’s waiting for our visit,” Cyril seemed to be urging Alpha Trnald to find the witch. However, he wasn’t sure if Trnald would comply with his orders like Mylixe, considering his larger Pack and the greater risks involved.

“Werewolves have no way to find a safer place in the Northern Continent,” Alpha Trnald said helplessly.

Cyril’s expression relaxed slightly; he feared his allies might choose to submit.

“I trust you’ll do well.”

“When I left the Northern Continent, I worried I might die in battle, but here I am, still alive,” Alpha Trnald teased.

“I’m willing to accept your leadership and trust your choices,” Trnald said firmly.

Cyril knew deep bonds had formed between him and his allies. Fate had united the werewolves to fight against the forces of darkness. He understood that many Packs in the world had paid a painful price during their first war. The loyalty and unwavering pursuit of justice by Alpha Trnald were truly valuable.

After this decision, they split into two groups.

Cyril led Elmer, Parrish, Rankin, and Viola to search for Hazel. Cyril instructed Theo to follow Alpha Trnald with the remaining wolf pack to seek assistance from the witch.

Since completing the peace agreement, Kassandra McGo had returned to Solanum Castle. The castle housed chief witches from different factions, gathering to balance the powers across continents. However, the black-robed wizards had always been their major concern, and they would likely be willing to continue helping the werewolf alliance.

“Theo, take everyone back to the Pack to find Fran. Let her lead the wolf pack to Solanum Castle for assistance,” Cyril suggested.

“Yes, Alpha,” Theo responded without hesitation.

“Don’t linger too long on the way back; return following the path we came,” Cyril’s eyes still held a trace of unease.

“We’ve crossed the Dark Moon City now, and the plan we had for the way back might not work,” Cyril stated.

“If we had some flying vehicles to assist us, it might be more convenient. It would also make it easier to avoid detection by the black-robed wizards,” Alpha Trnald questioned.

“Alpha Merric! After the revelation about Hazel being a Hybrid, he chose to leave the alliance and return to the Northern Continent. However, it’s evident that he’s different from the wolf packs in the south. His attitude towards Hybrids is rather ambiguous, not entirely opposing or supporting,” Luna Mylixe suggested that the remaining wolf pack continue heading north to seek Alpha Merric’s assistance.

The Swifting Moon Pack, led by Alpha Merric, possessed a unique ability. In addition to combat and strength training, their movement speed could be considered the best in the werewolf world.

“If they are willing to help us get back to the Pack House, we can definitely evade detection by the black-robed wizards. Their wolves run as fast as lightning,” Mylixe proposed.

“That’s settled then,” Alpha Trnald agreed.

“I believe when we reunite in the Northern Continent, victory will be ours,” Cyril embraced Alpha Trnald tightly. Their muscles collided as if sealing some unspoken agreement.
