Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Eloise noticed that everyone’s expressions were quite strange, and she felt like she shouldn’t be here. They were obviously discussing something important.

“Hazel, I should go home for now. You all continue with your work; don’t mind me,” Eloise quickly said. She didn’t expect that facing an Alpha would be so intimidating, and she couldn’t imagine how Hazel dealt with it.

When Eloise saw the door being forcefully closed behind her, she realized that Cyril had frightened her.

“First, let’s check if there are any notes inside,” Theo said after Eloise left. This was the most important task at hand.

Hazel nodded and immediately opened the box she was holding. The notes were still inside.

Cyril picked up one note and sniffed it, detecting an unusual scent he disliked.

Theo frowned as he read the contents of the note. He had no idea that his sister had received so many notes. If someone could sneak into the Iron Star Pack unnoticed and take away Hazel while she slept, that would be a terrifying situation.

Theo wouldn’t allow any harm to come to his sister.

“Are you looking for this box?” When Hazel saw this note, her eyes widened. Clearly, this was a new note that had just appeared. And that person had indeed taken the box, inserted a new note, and left it at her doorstep, using Eloise to bring it back. How much time had this person spent doing all of this?

Who was orchestrating all of this?

“Take a look at this note; it’s new,” Hazel handed the note to Cyril. His expression was far from pleasant, and he seemed very displeased.

Someone had entered his territory without his knowledge, and apart from Hazel, no one in the small town knew about it. The fact that they knew he was searching for the box meant they had willingly revealed themselves. They wanted to start this game.

Deep within Cyril’s gaze was an impulse to tear someone apart. He would find this person hiding in the shadows.

“Theo, take this box and these notes back. Have Parrish and Rankin smell the scent on them and track it. I’ll handle the rest when I return,” Cyril believed there was something wrong with the scent on the notes. He looked at Theo, who stood there silently, as if still self-blaming.

“Yes, Alpha,” Theo accepted the box and cast a glance at Hazel before leaving. He didn’t ask Cyril why he wasn’t leaving with him.

Theo felt that there was something unusual between Alpha and his sister.

Hazel lowered her head. She knew that once everyone else left, Cyril would take action. He would never allow anyone to challenge his authority and didn’t appreciate anyone concealing something that could potentially harm the Pack.

Hazel indeed made a mistake by not reporting this matter to Cyril from the beginning. That would have saved a lot of time.

“I’ll leave this matter to Theo and the guard team. If the other side continues to leave notes, we will hand them over,” Cyril’s hoarse and gloomy voice echoed in Hazel’s room. He had an emotionless expression, as if he could turn ruthless in the next moment.

“Cyril, what do you mean?” Hazel frowned as she looked at Cyril.

“It means you don’t have to worry about this anymore. I will send people to investigate,” Cyril replied, his gaze fixed on Hazel. He hoped she would learn to be obedient and not alert anyone. Even though they were currently on the defensive, he was determined to find the person hiding in the shadows.

Cyril would not allow anyone to meddle in his territory.

“Cyril, you can’t exclude me from your plans. This matter concerns me, and I have the right to know everything,” Hazel roared. Perhaps it was a matter better left to Cyril, but she couldn’t remain indifferent when she knew it was targeting her.

“Do you have the capability to handle it?” Cyril reached out and held Hazel’s chin. She was indeed quite stubborn and never seemed to learn to be obedient.

“It’s not about capability. The fact is, they are targeting me. Do you understand, Cyril?” Hazel could feel her lips quivering, and she had to persuade Cyril today.

Hazel had already lost The Setting Moon Pack. Now, as a member of The Iron Star Pack, she couldn’t just stand by knowing that she was involved but not take any action. It wasn’t in her nature. She didn’t know if the people around her were in danger, and she had to be prepared.

Cyril sat in silence on Hazel’s bed, giving no response.

Hazel didn’t know whether Cyril was angry or contemplating. But she was determined to convince him.

“So, you really want to be involved in this, even if there might be a lot of danger?” Cyril asked, looking at Hazel. He hadn’t expected her to make this decision.

“Yes, I want to be involved in this. I want to know every step of your plan. It’s essential to me,” Hazel said, sitting beside Cyril. This was the first time she calmly discussed something with Cyril.

Hazel knew that provoking Cyril at this point would serve no purpose. He held all the decision-making power because he was the Alpha.

“Do you know how many people the other side has? Do you know who they are?” Cyril continued to ask.

Hazel shook her head; she knew nothing.

“Do you know their goals? Do you understand them? Do you know why they want to pin Bessie’s death on you?” Every word from Cyril left Hazel feeling lost.

“I genuinely know nothing, but I can’t pretend like this hasn’t happened,” Hazel had no information, but that wasn’t a reason to withdraw. Was she supposed to watch the town fall into chaos?

“Cyril, I think they have a purpose in getting close to me. Why don’t we turn the tables?” Hazel spoke up again.

Cyril observed the expression on Hazel’s face. She indeed showed no fear.

“Hazel, I need some time to consider,” Cyril wouldn’t agree to Hazel’s request right away. This was a significant matter, and he needed to analyze it carefully.

“I can help you figure things out,” Hazel stood up. She couldn’t accept Cyril excluding her from the plan, especially when it was so clearly related to her.

“Hazel, you’re too eager,” Cyril murmured. “This isn’t a small matter. I need to plan carefully. Do you understand?”

Hazel still wanted to speak up. She didn’t know why, but every time she debated with Cyril, it excited her. Maybe resisting Cyril’s orders made her feel adventurous, and his reactions stirred something within her. Hazel found it challenging to describe her emotional state.

But for now, she had to hold back and not confront Cyril head-on.

“I’m just worried,” Hazel replied.

If someone could sneak into her room without a sound, everyone in her house would be in danger.

Hazel felt she needed to tell her grandmother and Gerard about this. With Gerard by her grandmother’s side, she would feel more at ease.

“I’m worried just like you,” Cyril’s tone softened slightly. He could understand Hazel’s feelings, but that didn’t mean he would let her have her way.

“So you still won’t let me join?” Hazel’s eyes flashed with anger. Cyril was impossible to sway.

“I need time to think. When the patrol ends tomorrow, come to my office,” Cyril stood up. He had to get back to the office to handle what comes next.

The town was harboring hidden dangers, and he needed to arrange everything.

“Keep your word,” Hazel knew Cyril wouldn’t stay any longer, but she’d at least gained an opportunity.

Cyril gazed at Hazel for a long time, eventually opening the window and leaping out, choosing not to leave through the front door.

Hazel stood by the window, watching Cyril’s departing figure. Lost in thought for a while, she didn’t notice a figure in a nearby house watching her from a window.
