Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Theo and Kassandra ran to the source of the explosion, finding Parrish, Rankin, and Viola standing amidst the debris. Covered in dust from the collapsed walls, their eyes were hollow.

“Hey, guys. What are you doing here? Where’s Alpha and Hazel?” Theo felt something was off and exchanged a glance with Kassandra, signaling her to be alert.

The chaotic scene was filled with vampire limbs scattered everywhere, blood splattered on the marble floor, creating a mirror-like effect with the royal blood crystals on the rooftop, giving it an eerie appearance.

Suddenly, Parrish emerged from the rubble. Seeing Theo’s face, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. He stood up, calmly saying, “Maybe they went to find Claud.”

“Who’s Claud?” Theo asked in confusion. “Why aren’t you guys fighting back?”

“Because… our next target to attack is you!” Parrish growled, throwing a punch at Theo’s face, the fist making a dull impact.

Theo winced in pain. “Parrish, what the hell?!”

Enraged by the sudden attack, Theo’s eyes blazed with fire. His remaining sanity told him that Parrish wouldn’t attack his Beta out of the blue. But he had no idea what had happened to these three.

However, Rankin and Viola joined the assault, and the three of them surrounded Theo from different directions.

“They’re cursed, deprived of their will,” Kassandra raised her wand, noticing the soulless look in their eyes. “Someone is controlling them!”

“Wait! Three against one isn’t a fair game.” Theo couldn’t respond to Kassandra in time, shifting into his wolf form at the fastest speed. He kicked Rankin approaching him with his hind legs, somersaulted to knock away Viola, and finally bit onto Parrish.

But these three were his comrades, and Theo didn’t go all out. They quickly recovered.

“Do you have a way to summon back their souls?” Theo hissed angrily, keeping a distance between them and Kassandra.

The witch holstered her wand and raised a gun, loading it with several silver-blue bullets, and fired at the three.

“Bang, bang, bang…”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

All three fell into a state of unconsciousness.

“Did you kill them?” Theo’s wolf growled in discontent.

“They were hit with revival bullets. Relax, they’ll recover shortly.” Kassandra reassured confidently, then soothed Theo’s wolf.

“Now the urgent matter is to find Hazel and Cyril. It’s eerily quiet here, and the situation is extremely abnormal.”

The sky grew increasingly dim, completely black. The castle’s interior was silent, like stagnant water.

Theo shifted back to his human form, placing his three companions aside. He followed Kassandra, continuing to explore the castle’s interior.

“Theo!” Elmer’s night vision was excellent, and he shouted at Theo from the inner hall.

Theo and Elmer locked eyes. Elmer seemed like he wanted to say more but refrained.

“Behind you.” Kassandra’s voice dropped as she turned around, witnessing Hazel and Theo locked in combat with Claud. However, they seemed isolated in a separate space.

“This might be a pocket dimension created by the Black Robe Sorcerers.”

As dark magic continued to be channeled into the space, Kassandra observed a dark pattern rising from their feet, accompanied by intertwining green and blue lights, resembling a key entwining around Hazel’s body.

“They plan to directly extract Hazel’s blood.” Kassandra fired a shot, but the protective shield of the pocket dimension repelled it, causing the bullet to drop to the ground. Quickly, Kassandra retrieved her magic wand, twirled it in the air, and chanted a spell. A surge of magic shot from the wand, resembling a sharp blade, cutting an entrance into the pocket dimension.

Theo and Elmer struggled to maintain their balance as the ground continued to tremble. The walls, like dominoes, collapsed one after another, creating a haze of dust that made it impossible to see.

The floor shook, splitting open from the underground to the surface, dividing the earth in half and revealing the layers beneath.

“Cyril, are you okay?” Hazel contacted him through the mind link, but she felt her werewolf consciousness gradually weakening. She tried to call Rita, but her throat was scratched, and blood trickled down.

“My blood…”

Kassandra broke the pocket dimension, drawing her gun and firing a shot at the suspended Claud. Claud stumbled down with a cry but quickly got up. With a cold expression, he turned to attack Kassandra.

Seeing this, Hazel ran to Kassandra in time. “Good girl! Let’s go together. Let’s kill him!”

As they approached Claud, four Black Robe Sorcerers ran out from the cracks, attacking anyone in sight to distract Kassandra.

“Watch out!” Cyril shouted, rushing toward the Black Robe Sorcerers. Lilith held her wand, Kassandra with her magical gun.

“Long time no see. Seeing you is your death sentence, Kassandra.” Lilith shouted, her wand emitting a powerful light that sent many debris and rubble flying.

Cyril dodged the light, kicking a Black Robe Sorcerer against the wall. “Deathly Sanctity-” Another Black Robe Sorcerer roared, sending a green beam toward Hazel. Hazel swiftly moved, avoiding the beam, but it grazed her shoulder, causing a sharp pain.

“Shit!” Hazel yelled at him. Her vampire blood was triggered, and darkness overcame the other Black Robe Sorcerer, ultimately freezing his body on the ground.

“Run!” Hazel shouted at Cyril, charging towards the third Black Robe Sorcerer. He held a gun, and Hazel noticed bullets ready to be fired.

Hazel approached him, aiming her fist at the muzzle. In the moment the bullet was fired, she struck the magical gun out of his hand. He tried to escape, but Hazel’s next blow hit the back of his head, making him fall to the ground.

“The last one!” Kassandra shouted, but when Hazel turned around, Lilith had already disappeared.

She looked around and found Lilith near the crack, preparing to escape. Kassandra rushed over, but it was too late. Lilith entered the crack, disappearing into the air.

“Damn it!” Hazel cursed.

“It’s okay,” Cyril said. “At least we successfully thwarted the Black Robe Sorcerers’ conspiracy and rescued Hazel.”

As for Claud, he saw the Black Robe Sorcerers fall but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stood in front of the royal blood crystals, staring fixedly at Hazel.

“Hawthorne, come over!”
