Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

Despite Cyril’s attempts to kiss Hazel, she remained asleep, like Sleeping Beauty, unresponsive even to Cyril’s kisses. Cyril appeared increasingly anxious; he couldn’t bear the fact that Hazel had been unconscious for two days and nights, terrified of losing her. Facing his partner’s coma proved to be an unexpectedly painful experience. During these two days, his wolf, Aeneas, seemed to lose its vitality, even its howls grew weaker.

“Hazel must wake up soon, or her connection with Rita will become increasingly fragile,” warned Aeneas, insisting that Cyril take urgent action.

Suppressing his inner sorrow, Cyril sought out Fran. After all, it was she who caused Hazel to fall into a coma. Cyril knocked on Fran’s door, but Gerard opened it.

“Alpha, what brings you here?”

“Hazel has been in a coma for two days, and I hope Fran can help her wake up.”

“Please come in.”

As Cyril entered the house, he saw Hazel’s home in chaos, leaving him puzzled.

“What happened?”

“We are looking for a lost ring, that ring.” Fran descended the stairs, explaining to Cyril that the ring was left by Hazel’s father, or so she claimed. Unbeknownst to her, the ring possessed a magic that Fran used to seal her vampire blood.

“Now her blood is fully awake. We must find the ring quickly to seal her vampire blood again.”

“Seal her blood?”

“Yes, Hybrids face two situations. One is having mediocre talent, akin to an ordinary werewolf or vampire, like my daughter Sadie. I’m grateful she is a regular child, thanks to God’s tolerance.”

“However, my poor granddaughter Hazel faces the opposite situation. She is a child blessed by the gods, possessing extremely powerful abilities. She absorbed the powers of werewolves, vampires, and witches, becoming an unprecedented Hybrid. But powerful abilities must endure immense suffering, and the moon goddess’s test for her is exceptionally cruel.”

“What will happen to Hazel?” Cyril asked with concern, realizing the severity of the situation.

“The moon is the energy source for all species except humans. If someone’s power is like the moon but their body clearly cannot bear such immense power, they will inevitably descend into madness.”

“When Hazel was a child, Azrael discovered her power, intending to use her to dominate the entire dark world. Unfortunately, he did not understand Hazel’s situation. I foresaw this when Sadie gave birth to Hazel, a prophecy granted by the gods.”

“What prophecy?”

“I knew I would grow old. Just as I foresaw, now my magic is insufficient to fulfill this prophecy. So, in my early years, I chose to seal Hazel’s vampire blood.”

“You mean you made her appear only as mediocre a Hybrid as her mother?”

“Yes, I admit I was selfish.” Fran covered her face with both hands, knowing she had violated many forbidden magics, and the gods would eventually punish her for everything she had done.

“You did it for the peace of the entire world, Luna,” Gerard comforted Fran, embracing her fragile soul.

“Now, what needs to be done to seal her vampire blood? Whatever it is, I’m willing to do it,” Cyril said, unable to discern the current situation but desperately wanting Hazel to wake up as before.

“Go call Kassandra. Breaking the witch’s taboo requires a witch to unravel it,” Fran said, her hands hanging weakly as she sighed softly.

Cyril used the mind link to contact Theo, instructing him to bring Kassandra from the McGo Family. Kassandra arrived at Fran’s house at sunset.

Though everyone’s mood was heavy, Gerard still prepared dinner earnestly. He made delicious lamb and hearty tomato soup.

“Eat up, so we can continue the fight,” he said with a light tone, hoping to break the heavy atmosphere.

Everyone sat at the dinner table, discussing how to wake Hazel while having dinner. Fran took a sip of the soup, and her spirit lifted slightly.

“Know that every vampire inherently possesses a skill. Hazel is no exception, but she has completely forgotten everything about vampires, including her vampire powers. Her skills are enticing.”

“What skills?” Cyril tightened his grip on the fork.

“She has the ability to summon the night.”

“Yes, she is a child blessed by the gods. Her power can rival the moon’s, allowing her to summon the night at will. Vampires fear sunlight the most, but if there’s no sun, they can freely travel the world.”

“Good Lord…” Theo could hardly believe Hazel possessed such incredible power.

“But the moon also has its drawbacks. Hazel is a Hybrid, and her werewolf genes ensure her blood is not always cold. Therefore, when her blood is warm, she is unafraid of the sun. At that time, she is a healthy child.”

Fran spoke with love in her eyes; she naturally hoped Hazel could live in sunlight forever.

“But obviously, her blood is now cold, Fran.” Kassandra, sharp-minded, had understood everything. Her mission was to help Hazel balance the two different forces in her blood, as Hazel also had witch heritage.

Fran looked into Kassandra’s eyes, knowing that she had a full grasp of everything.

However, helping Hazel regain consciousness was not as simple as it seemed.

“While I want to help, I’ve never encountered such a situation before, Aunt Fran.” Kassandra knew she needed some time and support to understand how Hazel’s powers should be balanced through her witch heritage.

“You need to seek the help of the moon goddess, child.” Fran heard Kassandra call her Aunt and felt a moment of joy. However, her power was not enough to assist Kassandra; she could only hope Kassandra would agree to her request.

“Moon goddess’s help?”

“On the next full moon night, you can use a magic circle to seek help from the moon goddess.”

“Magic circle? That’s forbidden magic!” Kassandra was shocked by Fran’s suggestion.

As the McGo Family, a long line of witches, possessed powerful magic, they had developed many forbidden magics. Many wizards in the family who tried forbidden magic ended up losing their lives in the process. That was because potent magic required a strong spirit, and in this process, if a wizard lacked a powerful will, they could easily fall into madness.

Kassandra, as the legitimate head of the McGo Family, never deigned to use forbidden magic. Even though her magic was powerful, and she had high talents, she believed forbidden magic was a curse, a temptation of power, a test from the gods.

Fran knew she was asking for something difficult; after all, not every wizard was willing to resort to dark forces.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Kassandra.

Now, the decision to save Hazel was in Kassandra’s hands.
