Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Since the first encounter with the dark wizard, entering the city was also part of the dark wizard’s plan.

“So our ally is most likely in Hohensalzburg Castle now,” Elmer said, looking at Cyril.

Cyril nodded. He wasn’t sure how many dark wizards would be in the castle, but the rescue plan was urgent.

After a tiring discussion, they decided to take a break, eat something to lighten the heavy atmosphere. The kitchen in the basement had nothing but blood. Elmer planned to go out and buy some meat for lunch.

Hazel also wanted to go out for a walk, and they left together.

“I’m really glad you’re still alive, Elmer.” They crossed the street and entered a convenience store, heading to the meat section.

Considering that Alpha Cyril loved beef, they bought various cuts of beef.

“You’re still so considerate, Elmer.” Hazel chuckled, finding these rare warm moments precious.

“In fact, besides being considerate, I’m also good at cooking,” Elmer replied with a smile. They quickly finished shopping and returned to the basement.

Elmer was busy in the kitchen, and soon, everyone gathered at the dining table. In the center of the table was a thick steak, accompanied by some steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. Elmer also placed a cup of blood in front of Hazel.

The smell of food was far less enticing than the scent of blood. As Hazel raised the cup to her lips, Cyril began to cut the steak. Elmer followed suit, seeming unfamiliar with table manners. The blood flowed down Hazel’s throat, dispelling the fear she felt towards her own blood. Hazel’s muscles relaxed, blood flowed within her, and her mind became clear. After finishing the glass, she started eating the steak, cutting it into small pieces. Although she no longer craved meat, the steak tasted like ashes in Hazel’s mouth, and so did other foods.

After lunch, they each rested for a while, planning to head to Hohensalzburg Castle in the evening.

Hohensalzburg Castle was located in the city center, a distance from their underground residence. Hazel suggested renting a car to avoid attracting attention.

They went upstairs and entered a car rental place. The sun had already disappeared into the clouds, and Hazel squinted at the brief twilight. Since arriving here, she had almost never been outside during the day and missed the fresh breeze and the smell of nature. They looked around the car rental, finding few cars left. Elmer quickly checked each one and found a black sedan that still worked.

Cyril stepped on the gas, driving the car to the entrance of Hohensalzburg Castle.

Dim moonlight seeped through the dark sky, shining on the castle walls, creating an unusually desolate scene. They pushed open the castle gate and walked in. A rainbow-like light suddenly rushed towards them, and the surrounding space twisted, creating an illusion.

Suddenly, all the light disappeared, and they found themselves in complete darkness. In the dark, pairs of blood-red eyes stared at them.

“It’s vampires!” Cyril exclaimed. “Evacuate! Scatter!”

Cyril’s voice echoed faintly as he swiftly joined the battle. Hazel could tell from his voice that he was now completely excited, boiling with energy.

In the darkness, the sounds of fighting echoed continuously, and the scent of blood permeated, covering the entire hall. The air was filled with the roars of wolves and vampires, creating a chaotic mixture. Bodies scattered on the ground, oozing a large amount of fresh blood. The werewolves continued to fight in their human form, tearing at the vampires’ throats with their sharp claws and ruthlessly biting off their heads.

“Cyril?” Hazel shouted, “Where are you?”

After a few seconds of silence in the air, Cyril’s voice suddenly resonated in Hazel’s mind.

“Right in the midst of all this chaos, where else would I be?”

Even in such a situation, Cyril sounded interesting, bringing a slight comfort to Hazel, clearing her chaotic thoughts.

Elmer and Rex were also entangled in the melee, strong and swift, battling multiple vampires at once. These vampires were young and robust, coming endlessly, and only four werewolves found it challenging to resist.

A silver light shimmered in the chaos, and Hazel knew it was Cyril shifting into his wolf form. Her gaze locked onto the flickering light, revealing a massive figure in the darkness, fur in the color of midnight, golden eyes shining brightly in the dark night. He quickly killed the vampires around him. Hazel ran towards him, witnessing the remnants of many vampires.

“Where’s Elmer and Rex?” Hazel shouted through the mind link, locking eyes with Cyril’s wolf form. She dodged a silver knife thrown by a vampire, and it whizzed past her ear.

Hazel slammed into a vampire, knocking him to the ground, and then bit into his throat with her teeth.

“Elmer! Rex! Are you guys okay?”

Cyril tossed the body of an elder vampire to the ground before answering. “They’ve headed upstairs; our opponents are tougher than we thought.”

“Elmer?” Hazel shouted loudly, looking upstairs. A vampire attacked from behind, but Hazel reacted in time, grabbing him, knocking him down, and dispersing the silver knife in another direction.

The air in the castle hall was damp and sticky. Ignoring the oppressive atmosphere, Hazel also shifted into her wolf form. The heat made her uncomfortable all over, but it fueled her angry mood. She restrained her emotions, burying any physical pain deep in her mind.

As they ran upstairs, the number of vampires gradually decreased, and they reached the top floor of Hohensalzburg Castle. Astonishingly, the central part of the castle’s top floor was occupied by the “Royal Blood Crystal,” emitting a peculiar glow, as if connecting all the blood. Around the top floor were four tightly arranged bookshelves, containing magic books, wizard notes used by dark wizards, and some valuable magic scrolls and instruments. In the center of the top floor was the Royal Blood Crystal and its pedestal.

Before the pedestal stood four individuals-Parrish, Rankin, Viola, and Claud. Hazel looked at them solemnly, signaling Cyril and the others to focus in that direction.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Hazel never expected that Claud, who had treated her like a caring teacher in the first half of the month, was actually the one behind capturing her allies. She planned to interrogate this double-dealing vampire thoroughly.

Hazel widened her eyes and opened her mouth, “Why would you do this to me?”

Claud covered his mouth with his robe, chuckled, shrugged his shoulders playfully, and then suddenly became expressionless.

“My dear Hazel, do you really think the fond memories are that warm?” he mocked. “Even if they are, the one who got played is me. Your father deceived me. He planned to resurrect the progenitor vampire and abandoned the idea of letting me inherit the throne. After serving him loyally for nearly a century, ask yourself, what have I gained?”

Claud roared, his voice thundering across the entire rooftop.

“Now, it’s time for you to taste the betrayal you’ve been spared from.”
