Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Three hours ago, Theo had shifted into his wolf form and was rushing towards Bran Castle. As the Beta of The Iron Star Pack, he received a mind link from the Alpha during noon, urgently requesting him to locate Kassandra and have her go to Hohensalzburg Castle for support.

When Theo arrived at Bran Castle, he found a secluded spot to change into his clothes and approached the castle’s gate.

“Who are you?” asked the witch guarding the gate.

“The Iron Star Pack Beta-Theo Moen. I have urgent business to see Witch Kassandra,” Theo replied.

“Kassandra is on the rooftop. Go up,” the witch said.

“Thank you!” Theo hurriedly ran up the castle stairs. The spiral staircase was quite high, around twenty meters.

Breathless, Theo reached the rooftop, where various potions and magic books were laid out. Kassandra, the witch, was sitting at a desk reading a blue-covered spell book. Upon hearing the noise at the door, she looked up.

Theo stood at the doorway, still catching his breath. He politely knocked on the door before saying, “Witch Kassandra, I’m Theo Moen, Beta of The Iron Star Pack. I received a message from Alpha Cyril, and we need you to hurry to Darkmoon City. They are planning to infiltrate Hohensalzburg Castle and engage in a battle with the Black Robe Sorcerers tonight!”

Upon hearing the name “Black Robe Sorcerers,” Kassandra immediately stood up. She hadn’t expected Cyril and the others to go there.

“What do you know about the current situation? These Black Robe Sorcerers are not to be trifled with,” she inquired.

In ancient times, the leader of the Black Robe Sorcerers, Lilith, was a legitimate witch. Witches, with their strong powers, were faithful to the moon goddess and had formidable magical abilities to counteract any dark forces.

Once, Lilith received guidance from the moon goddess to go to the Southern Darkwood Forest to cleanse it of impurities. Upon arriving, Lilith sensed something amiss. The forest was invaded by a terrifying force.

She searched for the source and used magic to reach a giant tree. Inside a hole in the tree, she found three little girls crying.

Moved by their tear-stained faces, Lilith plucked three mushrooms nearby, turned them into baskets, and placed the girls inside, intending to take them away and care for them. As she was about to leave, a man approached the giant tree.

“Why are you stealing my daughters?” he asked.

Startled, Lilith turned around and saw the man. He exuded a dangerous aura, with piercing eyes, blood-red irises, and a proud expression. Most striking were the small obsidian eyebrow piercings above his left brow, glinting with a silver light that matched the sharpness of his gaze.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lilith was captivated by his mesmerizing appearance. His naked upper body showcased firm, defined abdominal muscles like steel.

“I… I thought they were abandoned orphans. Are you their father?” Lilith asked.

The man squinted at Lilith, contemplating an idea.

“Yes. Witch? What are you doing in the forest?” he inquired.

“I came to purify the forest; it’s filled with miasma. Haven’t you noticed?” Lilith replied.

“Ha, this bit of miasma is nothing. Are you interested in coming to my house for a while?”

Man pointed to the tree hollow, and Lilith, unable to resist the temptation, followed him inside.

Entering the hollow, it turned out to be a cold stone room. The room was filled with various animal bones, giving it a sinister and eerie appearance.

“You’re a hunter?” Lilith inquired.

A hint of cunning flashed in the man’s eyes as he explained to Lilith that he was a hunter and had been living in the forest for a long time.

Lilith didn’t see his wife, and the man told her that his wife couldn’t bear the forest life and had run away. Currently, there was no one to take care of their daughter.

The man tempted Lilith, closing in on the witch’s face. Reflecting in Lilith’s eyes, he discovered her desire for him.

“Can you become the mother of my daughters?” he boldly asked.

Lilith was pleasantly surprised. Her face blushed, and she nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two immersed themselves in bliss, and Lilith was convinced she had fallen in love with him.

However, the man’s true identity was Satan, the demon king. He devoured the power of the entire forest, turning it into his domain. His three daughters were actually experiments: one was a combination with a tree spirit, one with a wolf, and the last with a vampire.

The next day, Lilith woke up to the realization that the man was a demon. She deeply regretted it, but it was too late. Satan had enticed her into his influence, making her his lover and assistant.

Lilith raised Satan’s three daughters and taught them dark magic, turning them into Black Robe Sorcerers.

To further solidify their position in the Northern Continent, the Black Robe Sorcerers came to Darkmoon City in the center of the Northern Continent, killed the rulers, and claimed the territory for themselves.

Lilith was scorned by the witch world for betraying the moon goddess. As the ruling family of the wizarding world, the McGo Family had always desired to eradicate the Black Robe Sorcerers. Therefore, Kassandra, upon the appearance of the Black Robe Sorcerers, was both surprised and eager to destroy the tumor in the magical world.

“The Black Robe Sorcerers have allied with vampires, helping them plunge the Northern Continent into darkness.”

“Helping? It seems you’re still too naive, little wolf.” Kassandra’s eyes darkened.

“Do you know the dark magic used by the Black Robe Sorcerers? Their power comes from the negative emotions of vampires and werewolves, such as anger and sadness. These negative emotions merge into the potions brewed by witches in the form of spiritual energy. Practicing such magic requires a significant amount of this negative emotional power. Since you and vampires are both creatures of darkness, they are more eager to be close to you. It seems the vampires willingly allowed themselves to be used.”

Theo was greatly surprised to hear this. He clenched his fists, feeling both disgust and a hint of fear towards dark magic.

As the sun gradually set in the west, night fell.

Theo realized time was running out, and he nervously furrowed his brows. Understanding his thoughts, Kassandra led him to a stone door.

“The journey back to Darkmoon City from here will take at least a day, but we can use a portal to get there.”

“How?” Theo asked.

“Just follow closely behind me.”

Seeing Kassandra using her wand on the stone door while chanting an incantation, the circular stone slab in front of the door began to rotate, continuously changing directions. A gap opened in the middle of the door, surrounded by white light, and everything in the castle suddenly disappeared.

Kassandra, with Theo in tow, passed through the stone door and arrived at the top of Hohensalzburg Castle in Darkmoon City.

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise – a half of the wall shattered with a bang. Before Theo could contemplate the source of the noise, a vast amount of dust rose in front of them, shaking the ground. Unable to see anything in the white dust, they only heard various footsteps mingling, chaotic.

Theo brushed away the white mist in front of him, and coming towards him was a vampire with bared fangs.

“Shit! They’ve already started the war!” he shouted to Kassandra.
