Marry to Alpha or Vampire?

After a long day, Hazel had fallen into a deep slumber, feeling unusually exhausted. She just wanted to lie in bed and rest. However, Cyril was still in his study, grappling with more matters and tasks that needed his attention.

When Cyril learned all the details about Hazel’s grandmother, Fran, he couldn’t help but display a hint of shock on his face. Hazel had asked him to investigate her grandmother and her connection with the McGo Family, and Kassandra had provided all the information. This was their first meeting since announcing their separation.

“Are you sure Fran, Hazel’s grandmother, was part of the McGo Family?” Cyril inquired, his finger hovering over a name in the personnel records that Kassandra had brought.

While everything was documented in the worn and tattered book, Cyril was thorough and wanted to be certain about matters regarding Hazel’s family.

Kassandra nodded, “I’m sure. Fran should be my aunt, as she was cousins with my mother.”

She too felt a sense of astonishment, having not expected that Hazel’s grandmother was a member of the McGo Family. This explained the unique bloodline Kassandra had noticed in Hazel. Yet, she had never imagined the depth of the connection between them.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Why didn’t she stay with the McGo Family? That’s what I find perplexing, and I believe Hazel would like to know this too,” Cyril inquired. If Hazel’s grandmother was a witch, why did she leave the McGo Family? What had transpired between her and the family?

“It’s a long story,” Kassandra replied, her gaze fixed on Cyril.

Everyone in the McGo Family had heard of Fran. Kassandra’s mother had often spoken about Fran, describing her as the most talented witch of their generation. Fran had already become the representative of the Blue Robe lineage, possessing knowledge and wisdom.

Fran, however, was a free spirit who abhorred restrictions. She loved her mother but couldn’t abide by her actions. Fran excelled in magic and herbology without the need for formal training. Everyone in the family adored her. She was the hope of the McGo Family, and there was no jealousy or doubt that she would be chosen as the family’s leader.

One day, Fran couldn’t bear her life any longer and left the McGo Family. She ventured out on her own and met the love of her life, a Pack’s Alpha named Osnald. When Fran joyfully returned to the McGo Family, she was already pregnant. She hoped that her mother and the family would accept her husband and her child. However, Fran’s mother strongly opposed it. She didn’t want Fran to give birth to a mixed-blood child.

Fran pleaded earnestly with her mother, hoping she wouldn’t be so cruel. Eventually, Fran’s mother relented. Some mixed-blood individuals had powerful abilities, a result of the merging of two different species, while others lost some of their potential due to their mixed heritage.

Fran’s daughter was exactly like that. She hadn’t inherited her mother’s talents and could only perform basic magic. Fran’s mother was furious and believed that such a person shouldn’t remain in the McGo Family. However, Fran strongly objected. She loved her daughter and wished to leave the McGo Family with her, returning to her husband’s Pack. She didn’t want her daughter to lead the same life she had.

Fran’s mother prevented her and kept her locked inside the house. No one knew what transpired during that time. Eventually, Fran left the McGo Family with her daughter. When the McGo Family members found the Pack, they were told that everyone had perished in battle, including Fran and her daughter. Fran’s mother thought Fran and her granddaughter had also perished.

After finishing the entire story, Kassandra fell into silence. She had also assumed that Fran had long since passed away, only to discover that she had been hiding in The Iron Star Pack.

“So, Hazel might have the bloodline of a witch too?” Cyril furrowed his brows, questioning Kassandra.

“If Fran is Hazel’s grandmother, then yes, Hazel possesses the bloodline of a witch,” Kassandra replied.

When she had first met Hazel, she had seen the traces of a witch’s bloodline, but in a world with so many different witches, she hadn’t been certain about Hazel’s identity. Hazel belonged to The Iron Star Pack, and Kassandra didn’t interfere in werewolf affairs. Therefore, she had not directly revealed Hazel’s identity, only stating that Hazel was a person favored by the gods.

“Then she might be a member of the McGo Family,” Cyril’s expression remained inscrutable.

He was unsure if this would be a good thing for Hazel. While having the protection of the McGo Family was beneficial, they were known to be unaccepting of mixed-blood individuals, and Cyril worried that Hazel might be hurt by this.

“Are you concerned for Hazel?” Kassandra smiled at Cyril.

This was a facial expression Cyril had never seen on him before. Regardless of the situation, Cyril always maintained a calm demeanor, but upon learning that Hazel possessed the bloodline of a witch, his expression had changed.

Cyril did not conceal his emotions; he was indeed worried about Hazel.

“If I recall correctly, the McGo Family doesn’t acknowledge mixed-blood individuals,” Cyril said softly.

“True, we only seek newborns with the witch bloodline,” Kassandra’s expression remained unchanged. It had been the tradition of their family for generations. They would only unite with male witches to produce pure-blooded witches, similar to how Fran’s daughter was not acknowledged by the McGo Family.

“Then you won’t acknowledge Hazel’s identity either,” Cyril’s tone became serious. He didn’t want anything to harm Hazel, even if it was only a matter of identity.

Kassandra shook her head, still wearing a smile.

“In truth, I’ve always wanted to break the rules. Allowing mixed-blood individuals to join the McGo Family isn’t a very difficult thing,” Kassandra spoke slowly.

“What are your thoughts?” Cyril locked his gaze onto Kassandra.

“I plan to announce new clan rules,” Kassandra’s gaze was resolute. “If the McGo Family has mixed-blood individuals, their identity will also be recognized.”

Kassandra had never considered the birth of mixed-blood individuals as a mistake. What needed to change were the rules and people’s perceptions, rather than allowing those individuals to miss out on opportunities. They should be able to stay in the McGo Family and learn more.

“Are you sure the clan members will accept that?” Cyril wouldn’t interfere with any of the McGo Family’s decisions. If Hazel’s mixed-blood status wouldn’t be recognized, The Iron Star Pack would provide her with more protection.

Cyril had never known that Hazel was a mixed-blood individual, and that was why she seemed so extraordinary to him. She was different from all the other girls in town, bold and brave. The first time he met her, he felt she was unique.

“I’ll make sure they accept it,” Kassandra continued. “You don’t need to worry.”

With Kassandra’s assurance, Cyril felt a sense of closure. Even if Hazel’s identity wasn’t acknowledged by the McGo Family, he wouldn’t let anything harm her.

When Cyril was about to speak again, he felt a strong sense of unease. He touched his chest, feeling uncomfortable.

“Cyril, are you okay?” Kassandra noticed that something was amiss.

“I’m fine,” Cyril furrowed his brows. He didn’t know what he had just felt, as if someone else was experiencing the same pain as him. It was an entirely new sensation.

But in the next moment, Cyril’s unease intensified.

“Cyril… Cyril…”

Cyril received a message from Hazel through their mindlink, and she was calling for him.
