'Please come with me to my hometown. Trust me, you will love it."

Despite their love and mate-bond, the Vampire Kingdom was still a no-go area for Alpha Eric. The hatred against the Vampire race was a part of his nature, he couldn't shake it away even after having a vampire mate.


He didn't lift his eyes from the file and replied,

'No, we are not going anywhere."

Charlotte gasped at his stern Alpha tone, then she glanced at her flashy short dress, which she wore especially to convince him.


'Am I not attractive enough?"

Disheartened from his no lift mode, she tilted her head and checked herself in the mirror critically.


'Perhaps, I should go to the beauty salon. The fitting of this dress is not good, either."

After criticizing her appearance for a length of time, she decided to ask again.

'It will be a one-day trip, Eric. Please!"

Charlotte held his hand and pressed it gently. She fluttered her eyelashes to appear coquettish, these seduction skills were out of her straight mind.

'Alpha King has sent a warning for an upcoming war. My presence is necessary here. I am planning the resources and strategies beforehand."

Charlotte listened to him intently and read the file with great interest. But a preplanned proposal revealed Alpha's excuse to her. She took a deep breath and sat beside him on a couch.

'You are such a dedicated person, Alpha."

Charlotte circled her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

'The devil has massacred humans more than once. His killing style suggests that he is not a perfectionist.

Besides, waging a war against the strongest Pack in the Werewolf Community is not child's play. There couldn't be a war in one or two days. We can go for some hours and come back in the evening."

Eric closed the file and banged it on the table, his chest rumbled with suppressed growls. He jerked her arms away and got up.

'You met Casper last month, and now you are dying to see him again. This Pack is your home, all your relatives are here. So, focus on your life, little one.

Forget about the town where you have no connection left."

He picked up his papers and stomped out of the room. Charlotte stayed frozen to her spot for a long time.

'My parents are there, Eric. How can I forget my home?"

She blinked her eyes repeatedly, but a tear escaped the bounds and trailed down her cheek. Charlotte sniffled and dialed a number on her cellphone.

'You can arrange the party without me, Ava. There is an urgent matter in the Pack. I cannot join you tomorrow. Please apologize Uncle Tadd on my behalf."

First, she got rid of that stupid dress and cursed loudly.

'You have no styling sense, Charlotte. Don't wear anything like it again."

Alpha's reaction today was a sufficient lesson for her, so she donated her expensive dresses to omega girls. Then she unpacked her bag and sighed, the excitement of seeing her soul sister was overwhelming.

'I wonder how do you look with a round belly? You are so cruel, Ava."

Ava refused to send her latest pictures, as she wanted her to come and congratulate her in person. Her first pregnancy overjoyed their family, but Charlotte had to harden her heart.

Dressed in her casual rough clothes, she made a messy bun of her hair and came out of the room to continue her duties. This one-hour break had already wasted her time.

'What's for the lunch today?"

She was opening different cabinets of the kitchen for food supplies, when someone jumped behind her.

'Ramla! Jason has found her."

Orion hardly stopped himself from bumping into his Luna and spoke hurriedly.

'She is in her mate's home. What's new in finding her?"

Charlotte couldn't get Orion's words and made a guess.

'Jason was taking a stroll in the woods with Amy when he found her body in the bushes. Ramla is cold and hurt, Luna. Please come with me."

'Have you informed, Alpha?"

Charlotte ordered the helpers to start cooking the beef stew and rushed outside.

'Jason went to inform him, but Alpha was busy in the meeting. He didn't get the permission to enter the Alpha's office."

'Go and invite the head Priest Flora to the Pack's hospital. Ramla is a witch, medical science cannot heal her injuries."

The idea of contacting the Vampire Castle flashed across her mind, she jerked it away immediately.

'Eric is enraged without any reason. He will not like this."

The condition of Ramla was worse than she imagined, her breathing was shallow, blood dripping down her forehead.

'The Devil."

It was carved on Ramla's head with a sharp knife, the doctors were trying to inject the needles in her hands for a drip, but they were stiff, as if frozen due to cold.

'It's not winter yet. Why is she freezing?"

Charlotte looked around and shouted.

'Julian? Where is he?"

The chaotic ward boy from the crowd ran to call Julian from his house, his irresponsibility fueled her fury.

'How is he not here? Can't he feel that her marked mate is on the brink of death?"

Fortunately, the head Priest Flora came on urgent notice and requested everyone out except Charlotte.

'You are a Royal vampire. I need your venom to save her life."

She was not in the support of siring another vampire, but the seriousness of the Priest's tone shushed her.

Charlotte slashed her arms and filled the silver cup that Flora provided her and stood in the corner. The priest Flora recited verses from the holy book and blew in the blood.

Then she mixed a colorless liquid in it. She supported Ramla's head and tried to feed her. But the medicine was wasted as Ramla couldn't swallow it despite being in her senses.

'All praise to the Moon Goddess. This is an open challenge to the nature. Give me a syringe."

The Priest Flora examined Ramla's mouth and shook her head, as she had to repeat the process to prepare the next dosage. Injecting it in Ramla's arm smoothened her breathing instantly.

'It's a dark magic. I can…"

The door of the private room flung open with a menacing growl, half shifted Julian dressed in shorts barged into the room.

'Mate!"

He jumped from there and landed directly on Ramla's body, securing her in his embrace.

'Mine!"

Julian howled at the top of his lungs, the entire Pack could feel the misery in his grieving voice. Flora placed her hand on his head and spoke in a soft voice.

'Patience, wolf. Have a faith in the Moon Goddess. I will arrange a prayer ceremony for your couple.

This Pack is under the grim aura of the dark energy. Everyone should gather to get blessings from the Heaven."

She left with the weirdest diagnosis of the century, Charlotte lost her patience and flashed into the Alpha's office in a split second.

'I apologize for the disturbance, but we have an important matter to discuss."

The guest Alpha squinted his eyes at a vampire's presence, but she disregarded that old fogey and dragged her mate out.

'Someone has attacked Ramla."

She gave the sneak peek of the previous events, Eric thundered in the hospital.

'Secure the borders and investigate the people in the twenty miles radius of the spot where she was found.

Someone must have noticed that attacker."

He comforted Julian, who was crying like a kid

'It's my fault, Alpha. I was supposed to protect her. My mate was kidnapped from her home, how can I face the Moon Goddess after this?

Ramla doesn't deserve a useless shit like me."

During his rant, Gamma Mathew and Jason reported to Eric.

'Jason has searched the premises and found this letter, Alpha."

Jason was carrying a bag full of evidences, but he chose to present a red envelope first.

'My spies have informed me recently that the Silver Moon Pack has welcomed an extraordinary witch as a Pack member. So, I thought a little gift will not hurt me.

The condition of this poor girl is a glimpse of my preparations, Alpha Eric. I have plenty of surprises for you. Until then, accept my heartiest congratulations on your important member's death.

I know that I have destroyed your secret weapon against me, and you are angry, but don't worry. We will meet soon."
