Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

“Today, you can freely choose your sparring partner. Once you’ve made your choice, start your duel,” Cyril’s hoarse voice reached everyone’s ears, and they listened attentively.

Ada jumped in first, saying, “I want to spar with Hazel,” as she dashed over to Hazel, flashing a triumphant smile.

Hazel furrowed her brows, wondering what scheme Ada was cooking up this time. This woman’s mind was never quite right.

“Are you sure you want to face me?” Hazel looked at Ada coldly. Ada better not provoke her easily, or she’d only teach Ada a lesson.

“Why talk so much? Are you afraid?” Ada chuckled. She couldn’t believe she couldn’t handle Hazel.

Hazel rolled her eyes. Ada was, as always, annoying.

“Then be ready to get a beating from me,” Hazel said and delivered a swift kick to Ada’s belly.

Ada clutched her stomach, wearing an incredulous expression. She couldn’t believe Hazel started with a sneak attack. It was insane!

“Hazel, how could you?” Ada shouted and then rushed at Hazel. She swung her limbs fiercely but never managed to hit Hazel.

Karin and Jay stood nearby, watching the whole scene, shaking their heads.

“Ada is one dumb woman. No wonder she crawled into Kane’s bed,” Karin commented on Ada’s actions.

As Hazel’s fist landed on Ada’s left eye, a loud eruption of cheers filled the air, especially from Karin. She might not like Hazel, but she wanted to see Ada, this foolish woman, embarrassed.

“My God, you actually hit my face! I’ll be disfigured!” Ada held her left eye, screaming. She almost didn’t land a hit on Hazel, feeling unfairly overpowered.

“Ada, need me to remind you? You’re about to get a severe thrashing,” Hazel said coldly, unimpressed by this woman’s provocation.

“You’re a devil, no wonder Putnam left you,” Ada’s words made Hazel’s expression shift slightly.

“Ada, I don’t think you realize your predicament yet,” Hazel rolled her shoulders and launched another attack.

Her fists rained down on Ada’s body.

Ada felt like her whole body was about to break down; this woman was definitely doing it on purpose.

Cyril observed without intervening, but what did Ada mean by “Putnam”? It could be another secret. After a while, Cyril left the training field and returned to his office.

Whenever Ada cried out in pain or screamed, Karin and Jay had to stifle their laughter. Eloise and Elmer, on the other hand, cheered and loved the spectacle.

It was about time to teach Ada a lesson.

“Hazel, hit her right eye, make it symmetrical,” Eloise enjoyed the view.

“Alright, training is over. Stop your attacks,” Parrish’s voice suddenly rang out.

Hazel pulled back her fists, looking down at Ada, who was seething with anger. She couldn’t believe she had lost; it was impossible! Was Hazel really that good?

“Ada, aren’t you satisfied yet?” Hazel could tell from Ada’s expression that she hadn’t learned her lesson.

Ada couldn’t bear to keep glaring at Hazel. She stood up and returned to Karin and Jay, only to find them both secretly laughing. Damn it! Ada knew there must be many people making fun of her, and she couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

“Starting tomorrow, we’ll assign members to patrol different areas; it’s your responsibility,” Parrish began, and his gaze swept across everyone on the training field with a serious expression.

“Four members per group, patrolling in shifts from Monday to Friday, group training on Saturday, and Sunday off. Special arrangements will be made for any unique circumstances,” Rankin distributed the patrol schedule he had prepared to everyone.

Hazel took the schedule from Rankin’s hand, and she was assigned to a team with Eloise, Elmer, and Marcus.

“Hey, there. I’m Marcus,” Marcus walked up to the three holding the patrol schedule. He looked clean, dressed in a white shirt, and Eloise couldn’t help but keep her gaze on him.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Eloise,” Eloise flashed a charming smile. How had she never noticed this person during training?

Hazel and Elmer also greeted Marcus. It looked like they made a decent team.

“Our patrol area is the entire forest,” Hazel spoke up. “So, where should we meet?”

“How about we meet at the forest’s entrance, near the town’s exit,” Elmer suggested. He had studied the map carefully, and it seemed like a suitable location.

“I think that works,” Hazel nodded, agreeing with Elmer’s suggestion, and then she looked at Eloise and Marcus.

“That’s fine by me,” Eloise and Marcus chimed in, and the two shared a quick glance. Eloise quickly looked away.

“Alright, let’s go with that plan. See you tomorrow.” Hazel bid farewell to the group and headed to the changing room to take off her training attire.

After changing her clothes, Hazel went to Cyril’s office. She knocked on the door and heard Cyril’s invitation before pushing the door open.

“I’ve come to pick up the ring,” Hazel said, feeling exhausted from head to toe, but she couldn’t deny that beating up Ada had been quite satisfying.

Cyril retrieved Hazel’s pearl ring from his drawer and placed it on the desk, staring at Hazel, hoping to see a different expression on her face.

“Since the ring is so important, you should take good care of it and not lose it again,” Cyril commented as he watched Hazel inspect the ring, turning it over in her hand.

“I will make sure to keep it safe,” Hazel said, clutching the precious gift her father had left her. The joy of having it back made her feel secure.

“The matter of the missing ring still poses a problem. I’ve added guards to watch over your house, as I can’t rule out the possibility of someone breaking in,” Cyril analyzed every possibility.

The loss of Hazel’s ring was hard to believe for others. In their eyes, she was the only one who had a dispute with Bessie, and her ring was found near Bessie’s body. Naturally, everyone would suspect Hazel. The person behind Bessie’s actions was trying to frame Hazel, but why? Why would someone target Hazel?

The sudden death of a Pack member was no small matter, even though Bessie’s arrival had been problematic. She couldn’t just die in The Iron Star Pack; it would cause panic.

“Are you saying someone broke into my room and took my ring while I was away?” Hazel had considered this possibility, but her house was surrounded by guards. Who could have had the ability to do this?

“Very likely,” Cyril could almost be sure. There were unknown individuals infiltrating his Pack. Although he didn’t know their motives or identities, it was definitely related to Hazel, and she was in great danger.

“If that’s the case, there might be more break-ins at my home, and my grandmother is at risk,” Hazel’s face was filled with worry. The situation had escalated beyond her expectations. She didn’t mind being in danger herself, but she couldn’t allow her grandmother to get hurt.

“I’ve already assigned guards. Hazel, you should think if that person left any clues. We need to find them,” Cyril told her, looking at Hazel.

Upon hearing Cyril’s words, Hazel hesitated for a moment. She wasn’t sure if she should tell him about the note.

“Hazel, what are you thinking?” Cyril’s expression suddenly turned serious. He noticed the flicker of hesitation in Hazel’s eyes. Was she hiding something from him?

“Cyril, maybe I should have told you earlier,” Hazel’s gaze lingered on Cyril. Her lips were pressed into a thin line.
