Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

“There’s one more thing to deal with,” Cyril spoke again, his gaze growing dark. “The badges.”

Hazel furrowed her brow upon hearing Cyril’s words. It was indeed a matter that needed resolution. Despite their agreement with Kassandra, they still needed to uncover the truth and provide an explanation to her.

“We need to find out who lost their badge first,” Cyril suggested.

Hazel nodded, agreeing with Cyril’s idea.

“We can use the excuse of replacing the old badges to have all the members surrender their old badges,” Cyril continued.

“But we don’t have time to make new badges,” Hazel frowned again.

“Hazel, we only need a reason for members to surrender their old badges,” Cyril chuckled lightly. “I’ll have Theo handle the registration.”

Hazel smiled knowingly, understanding Cyril’s plan. By ordering all members to surrender their badges within a specified time and registering them, they could narrow down the suspects by excluding those who had already surrendered genuine badges.

Cyril transmitted the announcement to all members of the Pack through mindlink, and everyone in the town became aware of the situation. Cyril demanded that all members surrender their badges within two days.

Starting at noon, members began arriving at the Pack House one by one, turning in their old badges. Theo was responsible for overseeing the process.

The registration room in the Pack House filled with people, with discussions and murmurs filling the air. While the members didn’t understand why they were suddenly changing to new badges, they wouldn’t defy the Alpha’s command; they only needed to obey.

Ada, Karin, and Jay quickly arrived with their old badges in hand. Ada and Karin had come hoping to see the Alpha but were greeted only by Beta Theo. Jay had tagged along just for the sake of it.

“Do you know what’s going on?” Ada asked Karin.

“I came with you, how would I know?” Karin rolled her eyes. If she had a choice, she wouldn’t want to be seen with Ada, as it would lower her IQ.

“Can you two be quiet?” Jay was exasperated with their bickering.

“Quiet,” Beta Theo spoke up, silencing everyone in the room.

The registration room fell silent. No one wanted to go against Beta, the person Alpha trusted the most. Ada was the only one who rolled her eyes; she despised anyone associated with Hazel. However, she had noticed that she hadn’t seen Hazel around lately.

Ada still held a grudge over getting beaten up by Hazel last time and swore to take revenge. If it weren’t for her leaving town to visit her aunt, she would never have let Hazel off the hook.

“Line up, surrender your badges, sign your name, and then you can leave,” Theo’s voice rang out once more.

Most of the members obediently lined up, turned in their old badges, signed their names, and then left. The registration room was left with Ada, Karin, and Jay.

Theo furrowed his brow, noticing that the three of them were always together.

Ada, Karin, and Jay had all completed the process of surrendering and registering their badges.

“Beta, why can’t we get the new badges now?” Karin presented herself in what she thought was her most alluring manner, trying to get Beta to look at her more, despite him being Hazel’s brother, he held a high position in the Pack.

“Once the new badges are ready, we will notify everyone to come pick them up,” Theo said expressionlessly.

“Okay, Beta,” Karin smiled, clutching her hands tightly.

Ada clenched her teeth tightly, preventing herself from opening her mouth, as she was afraid she might burst into laughter. The audacity of this foolish woman, Karin, trying to seduce Beta when he paid no attention to her.

At that moment, Ada forgot that Beta Theo was Hazel’s brother; she just thought Theo was doing the right thing by making Karin look foolish.

“Anything else?” Theo asked again, not understanding why these three people hadn’t left yet.

Karin shook her head. “We can leave now.”

Jay stepped forward, “Yeah, let’s get out of here.”

He looked quite comical as he said it because he was also holding back laughter.

Karin glared at Ada and Jay before angrily leaving the registration room.

Once Karin was gone, Ada and Jay burst into laughter, making their way out of the registration room. As they were about to exit the Pack House, Ada suddenly looked up and stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening.

If she wasn’t mistaken, she saw Hazel standing by the window. She was inside Alpha Cyril’s office!

“Jay!” Ada yelled.

“Hey, what’s up?” Jay looked confused, wondering what Ada was on about.

“Isn’t that Hazel?” Ada pointed at a window upstairs.

Following Ada’s direction, Jay saw Hazel’s gaze meet his, as she stood by a large floor-to-ceiling window, clearly spotting Ada and Jay, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“It’s her,” Jay spoke, confirming Ada’s question.

“Hazel is here of all places!” Ada ground her teeth, moments ago, she was mocking Karin, and now she felt like a joke herself.

“Almost forgot, last time you got beaten up by her,” Jay laughed heartily, then swiftly left the Pack House, not minding if Ada was angry. They often bantered like this and quickly made up.

“Jay!” Ada was in a fit of anger; she paid no more attention to Hazel and followed behind Jay to leave the Pack House.

Hazel withdrew her gaze. It had been a while since she’d seen these people. However, she had no time to bother with such trivial matters now, as there were potentially more dangers in the town.

Theo tidied up the list of badges surrendered and headed toward Alpha Cyril’s office.

He was well aware of the attack on the McGo Family and understood Cyril and Kassandra’s plans. Starting with Bessie’s death, they needed to investigate everything that had happened in the town. Only Cyril, Hazel, Theo, Parrish, and Rankin knew about these events within The Iron Star Pack.

Inside the office,

“How many people have not yet surrendered their badges?” Cyril asked Theo, who was standing in front of him.

“Fourteen,” Theo handed the list of registrations to Cyril. At that moment, there were still fourteen people in the Pack who hadn’t surrendered their badges.

Hazel stood beside Cyril and noticed a familiar name on the list.

Elmer.

This was the last result Hazel wanted to see. Her intuition had always been spot on, and Hazel prayed to the moon goddess that this matter had nothing to do with Elmer.

“Elmer,” Cyril muttered the name, his eyes filled with suspicion.

“I saw it too,” Hazel frowned. She didn’t know how to explain, “Maybe Elmer will come to surrender his badge a little later.”

“I hope it’s that way,” Cyril spoke again, but he couldn’t help but maintain a sense of suspicion in his heart.

“I heard that Elmer has found his mate,” Theo chimed in at the right moment. He didn’t know Elmer’s mate and wasn’t sure if she was from the town.

Hazel nodded. This wasn’t a secret in the town anymore; Eloise practically told her every day that Elmer went out with Sheila, and they seemed very happy.

“Theo, Elmer’s mate is named Sheila, and she knows the fake Fiona,” Hazel said.

“What?” Theo’s eyes widened in surprise; he couldn’t believe it. “Have you met her?”

The fact that Elmer’s mate knew the fake Fiona meant that there was a potential threat lurking by Elmer’s side, ready to strike at any moment. Elmer’s mate was a dangerous presence.

The faces of the Parrish and Rankin couples also revealed their surprise.

“I’ve met her,” Hazel said, looking at Cyril.

“Parrish, assign one of your subordinates to monitor Elmer’s mate. I need to know her every move,” Cyril’s gaze lingered on the registration list. “I need evidence.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Yes, Alpha,” Parrish responded respectfully.

Cyril wasn’t certain if the attack on the McGo Family was related to Elmer, but he needed to be prepared.
