Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

“Little she-wolf, are you mocking me?” Alpha Voss’s eyes blazed with a fiery intensity. He seemed unable to believe Hazel’s audacious attitude, as he had always had many lovers and never experienced rejection.

“Hey, you hold no charm for me. Dare to make a bet?” Hazel smirked dismissively.

“What would we bet on?” Alpha Voss’s expression made it seem like he was hearing the world’s biggest joke. He couldn’t believe how bold this she-wolf was to challenge a Pack’s Alpha.

“I bet I can beat you,” Hazel’s face lit up with a smile, sensing the anger radiating from Alpha Voss.

Hazel could feel Cyril’s gaze fixed on her, and his eyes were filled with pride. It seemed like he didn’t mind what Hazel was up to.

“What kind of joke are you making?” Alpha Voss burst into laughter. “That’s impossible.”

He fixed his gaze firmly on Hazel, unable to believe that an unranked she-wolf could dare to challenge an Alpha, let alone claim to defeat one. It was simply unbelievable.

Alpha Osiston’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise as well. He didn’t seem to think that what Hazel was doing was right. While he had seen Voss in combat against other Pack Alphas, his fighting skills weren’t particularly exceptional. Still, as an Alpha, he couldn’t fathom losing to a mere she-wolf, and he found it laughable.

“Do you think this is a joke?” Hazel’s smile grew brighter. Perhaps it did sound ridiculous, but she wouldn’t let anyone disrespect her. She couldn’t stand Alpha Voss’s arrogant demeanor.

Hazel took a quick glance at Alpha Voss’s physique. He appeared sturdy, but Hazel’s training had yielded results. She had improved rapidly and might have a good chance of defeating Alpha Voss. Hazel possessed swifter speed and more formidable defensive techniques than ordinary werewolves, although it did sound incredible.

“Bold she-wolf, I like that,” Alpha Voss chuckled, as if the situation had piqued his curiosity. He looked at Hazel with interest. “What’s the wager?”

Cyril’s face displayed a cold smile, and he gripped Hazel’s arm, signaling her not to speak.

“If Hazel wins, you must send all your people to aid us,” Cyril told Alpha Voss, his patience worn thin after a long time.

Alpha Voss shrugged, not bothered because he believed he wouldn’t lose. “Sure, deal. If I win, this she-wolf belongs to me.”

Alpha Voss licked his lips; it had been a long time since he’d seen such an intriguing she-wolf. Unlike the females in his own Pack, she was bold and confident, stoking Alpha Voss’s possessiveness.

“Listen, Hazel will never be a part of any wager,” Cyril roared, his eyes narrowing with a bloodthirsty glint. If it weren’t for the current moment and the fact that they were in his Pack House, he might have engaged in a battle with Alpha Voss, killed him, and claimed his Pack.

Alpha Voss burst into loud laughter from his mouth, unable to believe that he was hearing these words from Cyril. It only made him find the situation more intriguing.

“I think you should cancel this wager,” Alpha Osiston grabbed Alpha Voss’s hand, thinking that Voss’s actions were foolish.

No one wanted to challenge the Alpha of the world’s largest Pack, especially when it involved the girl he cherished.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Osiston, I didn’t suggest this wager,” Alpha Voss made it clear he had no intention of backing down. He had never anticipated such an intriguing turn of events since coming to The Iron Star Pack. It excited him more than killing vampires.

“Listen, if Hazel loses, you can kill me,” Cyril’s words shocked everyone present, especially Hazel.

“Cyril, you can’t do that,” Hazel’s eyes widened. She only wanted to teach Alpha Voss a lesson, not to spark conflict. She was confident she could defeat Alpha Voss, but what if she failed? It would endanger The Iron Star Pack and put Cyril’s life at risk, which was not her intention.

Hazel’s mind flashed back to the previous night’s dream; the scene where Cyril died remained vivid. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

Theo, too, stared at Cyril in disbelief. It wasn’t a lack of faith in his little sister but rather the immense temptation of the wager. He couldn’t rule out other possibilities. Alpha Voss wasn’t the only one who sought to challenge and replace Alpha Cyril, putting him in a precarious position.

“I believe you can beat him,” Cyril whispered in Hazel’s ear. They appeared close.

Hazel furrowed her brows. She couldn’t put Cyril’s life on the line, but it was clear Cyril had already made his decision. He wouldn’t change the terms of the wager.

“Interesting, quite interesting,” Alpha Voss squinted at Hazel and Cyril. He truly hadn’t expected Cyril to invest so much in an unranked she-wolf. This wasn’t the Alpha Cyril he knew – the one who was resolute and decisive on the battlefield. Once an Alpha had a soft spot, it wasn’t a good thing.

“You won’t back down, will you?” Cyril continued, his eyes growing even darker.

“Deal,” Alpha Voss wasn’t going to give Cyril any room to retract. He knew Cyril wouldn’t, either. Becoming the Alpha of the world’s largest Pack was far more enticing than acquiring a single she-wolf. If he defeated Hazel, killed Cyril, and took over The Iron Star Pack, Hazel would be left unprotected. He could claim her as his own, which was a tantalizing prospect.

Alpha Voss had a confident grin on his face. Meanwhile, Alpha Osiston found the entire situation filled with drama. He knew Cyril’s capabilities and felt sure that Voss would be no match for him. However, he wasn’t sure of Hazel’s abilities. Could she really defeat Voss? It sounded unbelievable.

“Theo, get Alpha Osiston and Alpha Voss’ luggage into their rooms.” After saying this, Cyril took Hazel’s hand and left the meeting room.

As they entered Cyril’s office, Hazel pulled her hand away. “Cyril, you shouldn’t have done that.”

This wager was her idea, so it should be her responsibility. Cyril shouldn’t have to bear the consequences.

“I don’t want anyone to treat you as a wager,” Cyril frowned at Hazel for pulling her hand away, but he softened his gaze. He wouldn’t allow Hazel to become a wager. It was a challenge to him and showed disrespect toward Hazel.

Hazel’s gaze remained fixed on Cyril as he declared his dominance in front of those people, willing to stake his own life. It was at that moment that Hazel realized how much Cyril had sacrificed for her.

He was so domineering yet willing to give even more for her. Cyril had assigned Carlotta and Viola to protect Hazel, moving her into the private estate to ensure her safety. He was putting his life on the line for her. These were things he hadn’t done for any other girl. It was all for Hazel.

“Hazel, Alpha has sacrificed more for you,” Rita spoke up, unable to ignore the significance of this act.

“I never thought he would do this,” Hazel admitted, a sense of guilt washing over her.

“But he did,” Rita roared, hoping to make Hazel realize the gravity of the situation.

Hazel let out a deep sigh. She knew Rita was right. “I’ll be worried about your safety,” she said. How could she ensure she could beat Alpha Voss 100%?

Cyril raised his hand, caressing Hazel’s cheek and planting a kiss there. Worry filled Hazel’s eyes, but she leaned her head gently into his hand, savoring his touch. It seemed she had grown accustomed to this level of intimacy, which brought her comfort.

Hazel had never realized the depth of her trust and reliance on Cyril until this moment. If Cyril lost his life because of her, Hazel knew she could never forgive herself.

“Hazel, I’ll make sure you can defeat Voss,” Cyril whispered, his words soft.

“I’ll keep you alive,” Hazel nodded and caressed Cyril’s face. This time, they didn’t clash. Cyril’s words ignited Hazel’s determination. She had to defeat Alpha Voss.
