Resting on the pile of the drained bodies, Charlotte was draining a boy, squeezing his petite body. Screams of that helpless prey suppressed in the loud party music; Taylor Swift's tones were failed to reduce the horror of the bloodbath.

As on a cue, the door of the bar banged open, revealing Alpha Eric and King Casper's panicked figures.


'You said everyone is under control!"

Casper inquired his sire, who knelt on the floor immediately.

'It was impossible to trap Her Highness in closed walls, we had to introduce some distraction to buy some time, Your Majesty."


'Little one!"

Eric's call was full of hope and fright, as he was expecting to be chosen and scared that she would reject him for a soulmate of her kind.


Charlotte kept rubbing the remaining blood on her hands, as if she didn't listen what was said around her.

'Let's get to the business!"

Watching her ignorant state, King Casper received a silver dagger from his assistant and slashed his hand.

'Your turn!"

Another knife was presented to Alpha to ensure a steady flow of blood, enough to draw her attention. The fountains of two powerful creatures' blood stood out among the scent of weak humans.

Charlotte closed her eyes and breathed in the aroma of crimson liquid. She turned her head in the direction of that Heavenly smell, her lifeless orbs got fixed in the space between them.

'You are here, finally."

She kicked away the last body and got up while cleaning the corners of her lips, her body was drenched in the essence of her latest kills.

'Mine!"

Rick stretched his muscles and came to the surface to register his presence, whereas King Casper's eyes darkened, as the pools of blood appeared instead of his eyes.

They braced themselves as she stalked towards them slowly, but surely. Her finger nails extended dangerously with her blooded fangs, she rubbed her palm at her mouth to clean them.

This was the moment of truth for both Alpha and King Casper, the final end to put on the soulmate dispute.

'You!"

Charlotte's steps paced towards King Casper, he stepped forward in anticipation.

'Star!"

She bowed her head a little, and then launched at Alpha, who had lost all the hopes after her previous action. Her long nails dug into his arms, she pushed his head away and sunk his fangs into his jugular.

Rick howled in victory.

'Mine!"

Her cold lips sent a jolt of electricity down to his spine, lying on the sticky floor didn't cloud his excitement. Although it was a plain, murderous drinking of a deadly vampire, but Alpha thoroughly enjoyed it, disregarding the darkness prevailing his vision.

'Mi Amor."

After feasting on half of his blood supply, she moved from his neck to his lips, initiating a passionate kiss he always yearned for.

Tasting his own blood on her lips was a wild experience, Eric gasped when she began to explore his mouth hungrily.

Leaning against the wall in the utter disbelief, King Casper witnessed that marking in a daze.

'No!"

A shriek slipped from his lips, whereas his heart shattered in to pieces, piercing his soul with countless pointed arrows. Waves after waves of pain and misery removed all the colors from his gloomy countenance, where hope was blooming a few minutes ago.

He gulped the lump in his throat with great difficulty, and uttered a command.

'Burn this place. I don't want police interference in this matter."

Beta Noah and Charlotte's sire followed them here and watched that live love scene, Noah bared his neck and howled to welcome his Luna.

'Congratulations, Alpha and Luna."

His mocking gaze fell at the statue of King Casper, he didn't forget to belittle him.

'We will invite you to our next Alpha's birthday party very soon, King Casper. I heard that you have a great interest in the Werewolf Kingdom and peace talks."

King Casper raised his eyes, blinking back the excess liquid, refusing to let them fall.

'Alpha Eric!

I accept my defeat with an open heart. Have a happy life ahead."

He wished them like a bigger person and left, ashe was in desperate need of privacy to mourn his loss. For him, the agony of rejection was refreshed all over again, and this time, it was even worse because his castle of hope came crumbling down to the ground.

He always thought that Charlotte never loved Alpha, and that she was caged against her wishes in the Werewolf Kingdom.

His efforts of good relationships was a way to connect with her again, he wanted to be her redemption, just like she dragged him out of loneliness.

'So, it was my credulity. You never loved me."

He laughed at his stupidity back in his room, distant past was now haunting him.

Being a Crown Prince was never a favorable thing for King Casper, he was deprived of basic human rights due to his status. He was not even allowed to attend his mother's funeral, who died while crying to see his only son once.

The methods of training a dutiful King pushed him away from happy and functional vampire lords, living among his food was the next-level challenge for Casper.

He remembered his decision to help humans out of their misery, who were facing the same mental issues as him.

But the fact he never knew that his beloved would come to him as his patient, lost in the abyss of darkness.

'I thought we were a team. We were so happy together, Star."

All the memories of nonstop bickering and her efforts of cheering him flashed across his mind, he hid his face in a pillow and cried out, his grievance covered the whole atmosphere with despair.

…

After igniting desire in his half dead body, Charlotte collapsed at Alpha, and lost consciousness.

'WTF!"

Eric cursed in his heart and mind-linked Noah, who was waiting outside for further orders.

'Let's go back. Little one needs rest."

They came back to the Mansion in the morning, Noah arranged a doctor from the nearest Pack for Alpha's loss of blood.

'You will be fine after a good night sleep, Alpha. She is your Luna, so her feeding will never harm you. Take a good rest."

Doctor prescribed a healthy diet plan for Alpha and some medicine for Rick. The completion of the mate-bond with a vampire took a toll on him.

'These piarings are rare for some reason, Alpha. Your wolf will undergo some changes for a while to cope up with your mate's vampire nature.

This bonding is a lifetime process, so now you will age in accordance to her life span.

Congratulations, Alpha Eric. Heaven is really gracious towards you."

'Can you please check on Star? When will she wake up?"

Angie was back to business after that disturbing news of her best friend's disappearance, she inquired the doctor with great concern. He examined her for a while and suggested seriously.

'It's better if you call a physician from the Vampire Kingdom. There is no apparent sign of injury or anything else, but a professional can guide you better."

Angie gave a bath to Charlotte and tucked her in bed, they came out of Alpha's room for discussion.

'Where will we find a doctor for Star, Noah? I am scared for her."

Noah wrapped his arms around her shoulders and brought out his cell phone.

'I will ask Luna Lily about this. She has ruled over the pack for a long time. She must have known someone from the neighboring Kingdom."
