Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Eloise recounted everything that happened at the bar last night. The first time she saw Marcus, he made a profound impression on her. They danced together on the dance floor, and the lights on Marcus’s face added to his mystery. They had a great time dancing, and Eloise felt like she was fully engaged. She took Marcus’s hand and placed it on her hip, swaying her body confidently in front of him. Eloise enjoyed seeing Marcus’s surprised and bewildered expressions.

After the dance, fueled by alcohol, Eloise made the first move and kissed Marcus. “What? You kissed Marcus?” Hazel’s eyes widened as she looked at Eloise. Eloise was indeed a bit bold. Eloise shrugged, confirming that she had indeed kissed Marcus. It wasn’t a strange action, in her opinion. “So, what else happened between you two?” Hazel’s face still held a look of confusion. Shouldn’t the situation have taken a different turn? “He pushed me away!” Eloise shouted. Just the thought of it made her feel furious. Marcus had pushed her away when Eloise had felt that he wasn’t entirely against it. Hazel widened her eyes in disbelief. “He pushed you away?” She couldn’t believe how the story had unfolded. Eloise nodded, and her face displayed a sense of defeat. It was her first time kissing a guy, and she had been rejected. Eloise felt like her pride had been shattered. “Maybe it’s not what you think,” Hazel tried to comfort Eloise. She didn’t believe Marcus would act that way, even if she didn’t particularly like Eloise. He should have communicated with her instead of doing something that would hurt her feelings, and Eloise was not the kind of person to overreact. “I’ve thought it through.” Eloise furrowed her brow. She didn’t know how to face Marcus now. Seeing Eloise’s demeanor, Hazel didn’t know what to say to console her. “Eloise, you’ll find your perfect match someday,” Hazel patted Eloise’s shoulder. She was just feeling a little bitter. Eloise waved her hand, not saying anything more. Last night, when Marcus brought her back home, he stood outside the door without saying a word. Eloise had slammed the door in frustration, and until now, they hadn’t contacted each other. When Eloise kissed Marcus, she thought he would respond somehow, but not only did he have no reaction, but he also pushed her away. Eloise couldn’t accept the result. Hazel continued to pack her belongings, and Eloise watched Hazel’s busy demeanor, secretly hoping she would find a partner as sexy and charming as Alpha. “How much stuff are you planning to take to Alpha’s estate?” Eloise looked through Hazel’s clothes. “It shouldn’t be too much,” Hazel looked at her clothes on the bed, lost in thought. She was moving temporarily, and once this situation was over, she’d move back to her own home. “Good luck,” Eloise smiled with that mischievous grin. “I’m heading home.” Eloise’s mother needed her assistance. Eloise walked to the door, watching Hazel’s busy activity, and shook her head. “I’ll be in touch, Eloise,” Hazel said without looking up from her task. “Feel free to contact me anytime.” Eloise left Hazel’s room.

The room suddenly fell silent. Hazel walked over to the stereo and turned the music back on. The blaring music helped her temporarily forget her troubles and not think about anything else. She let out a deep sigh and continued packing her bags.

Monday arrived quickly. After dinner, Hazel placed her luggage in the yard. She ultimately brought only one suitcase, which contained a few changes of clothes, some skincare and makeup products, and nothing more. Hazel felt like she was just temporarily staying at Cyril’s estate and didn’t need to bring too much. She would return to her own home sooner or later.

“Take care of yourself, Hazel,” her grandmother held her hand, her eyes filled with reluctance. “Grandma, I’ll come back to see you often,” Hazel assured her, hugging her grandmother. She wished she could stay with her forever, and even though it was just a temporary separation, she still felt reluctant.

“And what about me?” Gerard pretended to be upset. “Oh, Gerard, I won’t forget you, of course,” Hazel laughed, and Gerard smiled in response.

Cyril’s estate was not in the city but on a mountaintop, offering a view of the entire town, according to some. Hazel wasn’t sure, as Cyril’s estate was a bit of a distance from the town. Just as she finished speaking, Hazel saw Theo rushing out of the room, appearing somewhat anxious.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Hazel asked. “Alpha said he would come to pick you up for the estate at eight tonight,” Theo said in disbelief. Hazel paused at Theo’s words, as she had never imagined that Cyril would personally come to pick her up.

“Are you serious?” Hazel furrowed her brow. Theo nodded. Alpha had communicated through a mindlink, making it clear he would personally pick up Hazel for the estate.

“Alright,” Hazel shrugged and didn’t say anything more. Her grandmother, Fran, stood nearby, listening to Theo and Hazel’s conversation, deep in thought. Fran didn’t know much about Alpha Cyril, but she understood that as an Alpha, few would personally fetch their pack members. Alphas had their own authority, and pack members only needed to obey. But Alpha Cyril was picking up her granddaughter in person, and Fran found it a bit unusual.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Hazel carried her suitcase to the front gate, anticipating Cyril’s arrival. Theo, her grandmother, and Gerard accompanied her. When Cyril’s car appeared at Hazel’s doorstep, he witnessed a heartwarming scene. Hazel and her family were chatting, their faces filled with smiles. Cyril could tell they had a strong bond, and at that moment, he understood why Hazel didn’t want to move into his estate. For the sake of the entire pack’s safety, Hazel was no longer suitable to stay in her home, as it would attract more danger. Cyril wanted to ensure her safety.

“Hazel.” Cyril got out of the car and placed Hazel’s suitcase in the trunk. He glanced at Hazel’s family but didn’t say much. Fran’s gaze lingered on him. He was a powerful, robust, and incredibly charming Alpha, enough to make any young girl go wild.

Hazel hugged her grandmother and Gerard, then got into the passenger seat of Cyril’s car. She waved to her grandmother, and Cyril’s car started. They left the town, and parting always felt a bit melancholic. Despite being able to return home most of the time, Hazel still felt a sense of reluctance.

She returned to the town from her grandmother’s cottage, becoming a member of The Iron Star Pack. Now, she was leaving this house to move into Cyril’s estate. All of this felt like a dream. In the short time Hazel had been home, so many changes had occurred.

Unlike other Alphas, Cyril had his own estate instead of living in the Pack House with Betas or others. He would only rest at the Pack House when necessary. As the Alpha of the world’s largest pack, Cyril had every right to choose his place of residence.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Hazel had never been to Cyril’s estate. The private residence of an Alpha wasn’t a place one could enter freely. Only those invited by Luna, a Beta, or another Alpha could gain entry.

When Kane served as Alpha, he and his family did not have their private estate and lived in the Pack House.

On a summer night, stars accompanied by moonlight, the earth already asleep, the road to Graymeen Manor was extremely quiet.

Hazel sat beside Cyril, and neither of them had spoken a word. Cyril remained quiet, but his expression hinted that he was displeased with Hazel’s attitude.

Hazel had never imagined she would move into Cyril’s estate. Even if she had entertained the thought, it was only a fleeting idea. Now, she was on her way to Graymeen Manor, unsure of the emotions she should carry. Should it be happiness or confusion?
