'The Vampire King Casper Adino wants to visit Luna Charlotte Dietor to inquire about her health. Convey his best wishes for her recovery."

Eric read this official text a hundred times, not believing its single word.


'That bastard accepted his defeat so easily? Impossible!"

'I don't like him anywhere near my Luna."

Rick was resolute with his decision. Beta Noah noticed his inner turmoil and suggested in an earnest tone.


'Relationship between the Vampires and the Werewolves were never remained good due to countless battles in both races. But now, time has changed, and our Luna belongs to the Vampire Kingdom. We cannot stay on bad terms with them.

You should show some flexibility for the one she respected as her King."


Noah's honest perspective changed Eric's mind, he typed.

'I will wait for this meeting."

And reluctantly send it to the Court official's member. Unknown to the fact that King Casper was right outside their mansion, expecting his approval.

Dressed in business attire, he came bearing a flower bouquet with best wishes cards, his calculated steps marching towards Charlotte's room.

'I didn't imagine that I would see you again so soon."

Alpha unbuttoned the shirt and loosened it to flaunt his mark, King Casper's face changed color for a split second, then he composed himself.

'Me too. But Luna's condition is critical. It's my duty as a neighbor to visit the sick."

'Huh, Papa Teresa."

Rick scowled and huffed in anger; he wasn't comfortable with that vampire's scent in his house. Eric opened the door and showed him a sleeping Charlotte.

'As you can see that little one is taking a rest, you can leave now."

King wore a small polite smile, but his eyes exhibited his concealed affront.

'Not so soon, Alpha."

He removed Eric's hand from the door gently and stepped inside, Ramla bowed her head.

'This is the purest nightshade used by the Royals. Mix it in her meals, she will heal faster."

Eric pounced on King Casper and snatched that crystal bottle.

'This is poisonous for vampires. How can you order a death warrant for my Luna?"

Ramla flicked her wrist, and that bottle was teleported to her hands magically.

'Nightshade and wolfs-bane, both are harmful to supernatural creatures, but if we carefully use it with magic, it can create wonders."

She sniffed the bottle, her eyes glimmered with hope.

'I will use it well, Your Majesty. Thank you for your gift."

As he couldn't meet Charlotte on his first trip, King Casper made it a routine to come daily and check on her.

'Finally, you are awake."

After a week, he was able to came on time to meet Charlotte, her inviting smile made him feel welcomed.

'I have never thought that this would happen to me."

She tried to show respect to her King, but he stopped her immediately.

'Relax. Lay down. I am here to see a sick person."

Dark circles under her eyes and her gloomy face pained his heart, he offered her sincerely.

'If Ramla's treatment is not benefiting you, you are welcomed in the Royal Castle. We have witches from every clan who can help you."

She smiled at his concern, he was like a sunset, beautiful yet sad.

'So, you are here to show off your Royal facilities. I thought we were friends."

She looked away to mask her guilt, she knew that Casper was hurt because of her. Sitting some meters away in the corridor, Eric counted to ten to cool down.

'Friends. Impossible!"

The mark on his neck was a reassurance; otherwise, he was not in the support of the notion of leaving them alone in a room. Far away from his imagination, King Casper proved himself as a master of disguise, his hollow smile was a fascism of happiness.

'It's my honor to be your friend, Star. Just one more week, you will be fine. Then we will sign the deal we agreed before."

'No work. Little one is on rest."

Eric roared from his spot, Charlotte glanced at Casper's dumbfounded expression and laughed.

'Don't pay attention to his words. He is a crazy man."

Then mysterious silence in the room sank his heart, Alpha left his reasoning aside and barged into the room.

'I knew it."

He growled at King Casper, who was giving her full report about Sophia's matter.

'Alpha, I can explain."

He bit his lip to obscure his glee, as it was intentional. Alpha grabbed his nape and started dragging him out.

'You sneaky reporter. You are doing it on purpose."

King Casper didn't fight with him and waved his hand.

'I will send you the details through an e-mail. Take care."

'Thanks!"

Charlotte giggled and shook her head. The news of the real culprit really replenished her energy level. On the other hand, Eric kicked him out, Casper hardly maintained his balance before his subjects.

'You are not allowed here again."

He adjusted his suit and raised his hand.

'Look, you are my friend's husband so, we should be on good terms. In the end, we both want her happiness. End this fight, Alpha. It will only hurt her.

She will feel divided between her personal and friend's circle."

'No!"

Eric grasped his arm and forced him into his sport car.

'I will find new friends for her. Consider yourself out of little one's friends list."

….

'You called your mother and told her about marking. Unbelievable, Alpha. You cannot keep things to yourself."

After regaining some strength, Charlotte confronted him that night.

'Mom was so happy to listen to this. She is waiting for us."

He sat down before her and held her hands,

'My family is yours too. Call her Mom from now on."

Charlotte rolled her eyes at him, a wayward idea startled in her mind.

'Did you also tell Liam?"

Eric nodded; his radiant smile stretched from one ear to another.

'Why?"

She cried out.

'That interrogator will eat my brain with his countless questions. I don't even know why I did this, and his grilling will not spare me. My life is so hard."

She hugged Mr. Bunny and glared at him. Eric moved a little forward.

'What's done is done. We are a mated couple now."

'Yes, a hundred points to my stupidity."

She propped her chin on her hand, Alpha's elation was livening the surroundings.

'Now our bond is complete. What do you feel for me? What's the change?"

Despite his anticipation, Charlotte blurted out.

'Annoyance and anger, same as before."

'Little one!"

Eric couldn't digest her honest reply and turned his face away.

'If you don't love me, then why did you mark me?"

Charlotte sighed and decided to speak her mind for the first time after meeting him as a soulmate.

'Well, I am annoyed that why are you so hot and charming? And I feel so angry that I always become someone else in your presence. Despite everything you have done, I only remember the day when you saved me for the first time. You were like a mother for a hatching chicken, Alpha. I couldn't kick you out of my heart. I have sworn to myself that I will never behave like a lovesick puppy and here I am, crushing for my beloved like a K- pop fan."

'You love me."

Eric gasped in disbelief, he threw away that stuffed animal and pulled her closer. Charlotte placed her head on his wide chest, closing her eyes in his warm embrace.

'You never let me think about any other man, Eric. How was I supposed not to love you?"
