Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Cyril watched the departing figures of Osiston and Merric. He turned towards the wolf pack that supported him, looking at Eric and Trnald with a determined gaze. He believed he had to get through this, as the packs he had once helped were now his allies. Cyril faced the upcoming challenges with continued confidence.

“The Iron Star Pack will never betray allies,” he declared, opening his strong arms and embracing Eric and Trnald tightly. Eric patted Cyril’s shoulder, nodding in agreement. Trnald embraced Cyril, and he stepped forward, loudly proclaiming:

“The Wolf Alliance will triumph!”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Triumph!”

“Triumph!” The members of the wolf pack cheered in response.

Cyril, Eric, and Trnald returned to the Pack House. Cyril called them into the study, his expression serious. Eric and Trnald thought Cyril had different plans for the upcoming battle with the witches, and they were eager to hear Cyril’s strategy.

“Alpha Cyril, now that our alliance is formed, how do we proceed with the operation?” Eric asked.

Eric’s pack had almost faced destruction under his father’s leadership, and Cyril had helped them through those tough times. As a result, Eric had full trust in Cyril and looked forward to fighting side by side.

Cyril gazed at the young Alpha Eric with a fatherly look, sensing the young Alpha’s enthusiasm and eagerness for battle.

Eric’s fearless spirit reminded him of his early days as the Alpha of The Iron Star Pack. At that time, Cyril was eager to make a name for himself and expand the pack’s influence. He faced challenges from other packs without fear, full of martial spirit, until one incident…

The Iron Star Pack was attacked, exploiting Cyril’s bellicose nature, almost leading to its destruction. Cyril’s adversary was an aged Alpha named Lucian, the former Alpha of The Dust and Frost Pack and Putnam’s father. Cyril believed Lucian was no longer fit to lead his pack and planned to seize control while he was vulnerable.

Beta Jarvis of The Iron Star Pack advised Cyril not to be impulsive, as Lucian, despite his advanced age, was cunning. Ignoring Jarvis’s advice, Cyril thought his strength was more than enough to defeat an old Alpha.

On the day of the battle, Cyril led his army into The Dust and Frost Pack’s territory, but they found no trace of a wolf, not even a scent. Cyril assumed Lucian had led his people to escape.

“The old wolf is useless, fleeing without a fight and handing over the entire territory to me,” Cyril said confidently, satisfied with the outcome. They set up camp in The Dust and Frost Pack’s territory that night.

On that evening, The Iron Star Pack celebrated victory, reveling in feasts and burning The Dust and Frost Pack’s houses. They howled around the roaring flames.

After eating and drinking their fill, falling into a deep sleep, The Iron Star Pack was unaware of the impending nighttime assault led by Alpha Lucian and The Dust and Frost Pack.

“Kill! The warriors of The Dust and Frost Pack!” Lucian commanded with a deep and hoarse voice. He stood on a hillside, witnessing everything Cyril was experiencing, his eyes filled with resentment.

“One arrogant young wolf will only taste the bitterness of pain,” Lucian sneered. This was his true plan – waiting for the enemy to rest and then striking them all at once.

At this moment, the warriors of The Iron Star Pack were deep in slumber. They only reacted when they heard the enemy’s howls. However, alcohol had paralyzed their minds, weakened their will, and reduced their combat strength. They struggled to cope with the sudden assault. Cyril, hearing the enemy’s howls, immediately used the mind link to awaken all warriors and joined the battle.

In the end, The Iron Star Pack was forced back to its territory, losing many warriors. Cyril, too, suffered severe injuries in this battle. Since then, Cyril dared not draw conclusions hastily in any battle. He prepared thoroughly for every fight, ensuring nothing was left to chance, before committing fully.

Cyril patted Eric’s shoulder, knowing the young Alpha’s desire for victory. However, their true enemies were not the witches of the McGo Family.

“Listen, our alliance must defeat the real enemies, those who wish us to vanish,” Cyril said. He pulled out a thick book titled “Dark Shadows” from the bookshelf, a biography about vampires detailing their habits. These creatures of darkness feared sunlight and the magic of holy spirits, making witches’ powers a common dread.

“What? Mc Family declared war on us, Cyril. Without killing the vampires, we might end up in hell courtesy of those women with black cats,” Trnald said, spreading his hands, looking puzzled at Cyril.

“Well, that’s unfortunate. Those women you’re talking about, could it be me?” Kassandra stepped out of the study’s mirror, mocking Trnald. Surprisingly, she held a black cat in her arms.

“The witch from the McGo Family, how did you get here?” Trnald tensed, hands clenched, ready to attack at any moment, glaring at Kassandra, preparing for a confrontation.

“Of course, I’m here, little wolf. Do you think you can defeat a witch all by yourself? Or do you want to challenge the power of magic?” Kassandra teased, patting her black cat. She seemed unfazed by the impulsive werewolf.

Eric blocked Trnald with his hands. Though he didn’t understand the situation, he knew Cyril would explain, so he restrained Trnald.

“Kassandra and I have already reached a cooperation agreement. Our war is a facade. On the day of the battle, our goal was to lure out the vampires, as they are the real culprits behind this war. The person harming the witches was sent by the vampires. We have traitors among us, wolves who betrayed their kind and sided with the foolish dogs serving the vampires.”

Cyril calmly explained the situation to Eric and Trnald. Now, they understood that this battle was undoubtedly the century-old war between werewolves and vampires. As their agreement with the vampires had expired, those creatures were preparing to launch another attack, intending to destroy the entire werewolf world!

“In the upcoming war, the witches will stand on the side of justice, which means supporting us. We need to defeat those vampires.”

Eric and Trnald turned their gaze towards Kassandra. Their expressions shifted from caution to trust. After all, they greatly needed the support of the McGo Family, a clan of witches possessing the most powerful magic.
