Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

“Sheila… Sheila, come see me right away.”

Tania conveyed the message through the mind link. Now that she was no longer with The Tallinn Pack, she couldn’t mobilize too many people. Sheila had been by Tania’s side to handle things, and Tania trusted her.

Shortly after, Sheila stealthily entered Tania’s hospital room. She saw Tania wrapped in numerous bandages, and an unpleasant odor filled the room. Sheila had no idea what had happened to her Alpha, and she didn’t understand how she’d managed not to leave. She stood by Tania’s bedside, waiting for her orders.

“How has the Pack been recently?” Tania inquired about the state of the Pack.

As the Alpha of The Tallinn Pack, she couldn’t be away from her Pack for too long. If it weren’t for this darned plan that required her to travel from the north to the south, Tania would never have left the north. Fortunately, the King had promised to keep an eye on The Tallinn Pack, or it might have been absorbed by other Packs.

“No issues, Alpha,” Sheila responded respectfully.

“Good. Keep monitoring the situation in the Pack for me,” Tania said.

“Alpha, how did you end up like this?” Sheila’s gaze remained on Tania’s body. Whenever Tania brought up this matter, she couldn’t help but feel the anger burning inside.

“Sheila, do you know Kassandra?” Tania raised an eyebrow, locking eyes with Sheila.

Upon hearing that name, Sheila’s calm face showed a slight change. “Kassandra, the head of McGo Family?”

“That’s her,” Tania’s face twisted into a fierce expression. Whenever she thought of that woman, she wished she could make Kassandra experience the excruciating pain herself. Tania still felt her wounds itching.

“What do you want to do, Alpha?” Sheila continued to inquire. She hoped it wasn’t what she was imagining.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As The Tallinn Pack’s Beta, she had to handle many matters, but she only had to obey her Alpha. Alpha Tania had brought her from the north to the south to infiltrate The Iron Star Pack, hiding their identities for a seemingly impossible plan. While Sheila had had doubts and questions, she had still wholeheartedly followed her Alpha’s orders.

“Sheila, I want you to launch an attack on McGo Family,” Tania chuckled. The thought of McGo Family being attacked excited her.

“Alpha, are you sure about this?” Sheila’s face flashed with concern. Nobody could harm Kassandra; it would cause opposition from many, and the witch’s family was not to be easily offended. Why couldn’t Alpha understand this? Doing this might put The Tallinn Pack in a dangerous position, and everyone would distance themselves from the Pack.

“You can make Kassandra pay a little price,” Tania smiled. She didn’t necessarily mean to harm Kassandra; everyone had something they cared about, and she could find her opponent’s weakness and hit it hard.

“Alpha, I still hope you’ll reconsider,” Sheila’s face displayed hesitation. This was clearly an impossible task.

“Don’t you want to seek revenge for me?” Tania looked at Sheila.

Sheila was her personally chosen Beta. Since the age of twelve, Tania and Sheila had been inseparable. They went to school together. Sheila’s father was Tania’s father’s Beta, and Sheila had taken over her father’s position, even though Sheila had an older brother.

“Alpha, I’m willing to seek revenge for you, but this will incur the wrath of McGo Family. Have you really thought this through?” Sheila continued trying to persuade Tania.

But Tania’s mind was solely focused on one thing now: seeking revenge on Kassandra. She had been a cherished figure since childhood, and nobody dared to hurt her. But Kassandra had made her endure such immense pain and turned her into this ghostly state.

“Sheila, do you want to defy my orders as well?” Tania’s tone changed noticeably.

She could avoid conflict with Putnam, but she wouldn’t allow Sheila to go against her will. Sheila was just a Beta, and she had to obey her orders.

Sheila remained silent for a while, but in the end, she said, “Alright, Alpha.”

She wanted to prevent all this from happening, but she was powerless.

Tania gestured for Sheila to come closer, and as Sheila approached, Tania whispered something in her ear. Sheila’s eyes widened.

Under the large tree not far from the medical room, Hazel and Cyril stood together, with Kassandra’s figure nearby.

“It’s really him,” Hazel said, seeing the figure appear at the door of the medical room. Her expression darkened.

She hadn’t expected Putnam to be so bold, appearing at the door of the medical room without any disguise. Was he not afraid of being discovered?

“If Fiona’s wounds heal, it will prove that she isn’t really Fiona, but one of Putnam’s allies,” Cyril said. Although he was already quite certain that the person in the ward was not the real Fiona, he still needed more tangible evidence.

“Then who could it be?” Hazel muttered.

“A cunning woman like Putnam and a traitor from McGo Family,” Kassandra’s eyes shone brightly in the darkness. Before Putnam left, another woman had come out. Although the woman was dressed in a black robe, every member of McGo Family embroidered their favorite herbs on their collars. If Kassandra hadn’t seen wrong, the woman’s robe had an embroidered globe flower.

Kassandra remembered each member’s preferences, and Janice’s favorite was the globe flower. She was used to using globe flowers for detoxification. Janice was Kassandra’s cousin and her favorite person to compare herself to from childhood to adulthood.

“Kassandra, the people from your family are your responsibility,” Cyril was the first to state his position. He knew Kassandra wouldn’t easily get involved in the affairs of werewolves or vampires. But her family members joining forces with outsiders to deal with The Iron Star Pack was unjust.

Cyril handed over the woman to Kassandra to make her owe him a favor. This would give them a more advantageous position in negotiations. Cyril wouldn’t force Kassandra to make any choices, nor would he demand that she had to help him. But he would seek Kassandra’s support. In case there was an unavoidable battle in the future, at least The Iron Star Pack would have one more ally rather than an enemy.

“Thank you, Cyril,” Kassandra said. Cyril noticed that Kassandra had changed the way she addressed him. It seemed she had also made her stance clear. Cyril was pleased with the outcome. He knew how crucial it was to gain the support of the witches. It would increase his chances of success.

Cyril had initially assumed that his Pack was simply infiltrated by outsiders who wanted to take control of The Iron Star Pack. He never expected the situation to become increasingly complex, with even witches playing a part. There must be some larger conspiracy behind it all.

“Kassandra, have you lifted the spell?” Hazel inquired, not having had the chance to verify if Fiona had a crescent-shaped wound over her heart.

“Oh, Hazel, don’t rush it. She isn’t really Fiona,” Kassandra smiled, though she disagreed with removing the spell on Fiona.

“Does the spell serve another purpose?” Hazel’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

“If someone with ill intentions uses a witch’s spell, they’ll face backfire,” Kassandra’s eyes gleamed with excitement. She really wanted to see some treacherous family traitor reap what they had sown. “As long as the spell remains unbroken, the backfire will persist.”

Hazel realized what Kassandra was getting at. Fiona would receive a punishment more severe than her festering wound. No, the person who cast the poisoning spell would face the true consequences. It seemed that Kassandra deliberately left the curse unbroken.

She wasn’t truly Fiona, so who was she? How many people had Putnam brought into The Iron Star Pack? What were their intentions?

The alliance of werewolves and witches left Hazel with a multitude of unanswered questions. There was an overarching conspiracy, and they were all moving forward in danger.
