Chapter 87: Sadie Falls in Love with a Vampire
“What?” The crowd was shocked by Fran’s revelation. Cyril furrowed his brows, looking at Hazel.
“You said Hazel is a Hybrid?” Theo couldn’t accept this fact. His sister had grown up with him; how could she be the daughter of a vampire?
Fran, the only informed person, embraced Theo, understanding that this was cruel for him. No one wanted to know that their mother had betrayed their father, and their daughter had done such a vile thing.
At that time, Theo was only two years old. Rodther, as the Beta of The Setting Moon Pack, had his mate, who disappeared. His mate was Sadie, the mother of Theo and Hazel. Sadie was a special werewolf inheriting Fran’s bloodline, with some magical abilities.
Rodther carried the responsibility of the Pack, assisting his Alpha in battles, and Sadie, as Rodther’s mate, was supposed to share his worries. However, Sadie, with mediocre abilities, couldn’t participate in any Pack affairs, unable to share the burden with her husband. Rodther was busy, and he rarely communicated with Sadie. Despite that, he deeply loved his wife. However, Sadie was often melancholic.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
One day, while patrolling the forest, Sadie encountered an injured stranger. The man wore a black robe that couldn’t hide his fair skin, giving off a cold feeling. The only warmth came from his eyes, blood-red pupils radiating a bewitching charm.
The man introduced himself as Azrael from the North. Azrael got lost in the forest, attacked by a witch, and poisoned. Sadie was captivated by Azrael and instinctively started healing him. Her magic could cure the poison in the man.
As Sadie concentrated on healing Azrael, her hair fell, revealing her smooth neck. The man took a deep breath, smelling the sweet scent of her blood. Unable to resist, he bit Sadie’s neck, savoring her blood.
In the process of healing, Sadie became weak and, caught off guard, fainted after being bitten. The man felt the poison completely neutralized and regained strength from Sadie’s blood. He looked at the unconscious Sadie and brought her to his castle.
When Sadie woke up, she found out that the person she saved was a vampire. But Azrael didn’t kill her; instead, he thanked Sadie and invited her to dinner at his mansion.
Sadie was deeply enchanted by the man. That night, they were mutually infatuated with each other, and he marked her by entering her passionate body.
Soon after, Sadie became pregnant. She returned to Rodther, planning to break ties with her mate. At that time, Rodther was out with the Alpha, and he rarely communicated with Sadie through mind link. Sadie told everything to her mother, Fran, who was initially angry but calmed down, realizing her daughter, like herself, had fallen in love with someone from another race. Fran asked Sadie to make a decision quickly, and until then, she would help take care of Theo.
In the end, Sadie, looking at the pitiful Theo, understood that she shouldn’t be so selfish and let the child suffer. She gave up the man she loved, deciding that after giving birth, she would return to the Pack and continue to play the role of a dutiful wife.
After Hazel was born, news of Rodther’s victory in battle reached them. After more than three years of bitter fighting, they had become the strongest Pack in the region, possessing a formidable military force. However, when he returned home and saw a strange baby girl lying in the living room’s crib, his joyful face was overshadowed by anger. He roughly dragged Sadie out the door.
“What is this bastard?” he roared.
“She is my precious daughter. Watch your words!” Sadie’s hair was disheveled, and she stared at Rodther with icy determination.
“You whore! While I was fighting, you crawled into another mutt’s bed!” Rodther couldn’t contain his anger, a side of him he rarely showed.
Sadie, however, remained unusually calm. She suddenly knelt down, pulled down Rodther’s pants. Rodther felt surprised, but he quickly succumbed to the pleasures of lust. His heart was filled with intense anger and jealousy, so he ruthlessly punished Sadie.
Rodther and Sadie made love in the backyard for a day and night. In the end, Rodther forgave Sadie. He knew he still loved this woman, even if she no longer had any feelings for him. Her heart seemed to have been taken away, but her body still belonged to him, and that was enough.
Fran recalled this past, feeling a complex mix of emotions. Nevertheless, Rodther treated Hazel as his own, accompanying her in her growth. Hazel loved her father more than her mother, and Fran understood their relationship well.
Theo, upon learning the truth, felt complex emotions. He couldn’t believe his mother had fallen in love with a vampire, and his heart trembled violently, feeling like the world was about to collapse.
Due to the healing of the vervain, Hazel’s calmness sharply contrasted with Theo’s tumultuous emotions. She had fallen into a deep sleep, unaware that her identity had made everyone uneasy.
In the forest not far from the Pack House, a group of unfamiliar werewolves gathered – Putnam’s secret guards.
“Keep your soldiers here. When the war starts, they can infiltrate the wolf pack and kill those witches,” Hawthorne ordered Putnam, receiving the vampire king’s summons. He coldly uttered his command and left for the castle.
“I understand how to arrange it,” Putnam, though disliking Hawthorne, had no choice but to obey.
Sitting in his room, Putnam contemplated his situation. He felt too passive, waiting for orders wasn’t enough.
“The Iron Star Pack’s Alpha must be mine.” His ambition slowly expanded, and he had to devise a brilliant plan to navigate through it all.
In the vampire Castle, “someone deliberately cut me off from her, and you should know who’s stopping me.” Azrael sat high on the throne and said with a deadpan face. His slightly furrowed brow betrayed his displeasure.
“Yes, my Lord.”
“Are the troops in position? I have an amazing idea. I want her to show her dignity on this battlefield. Let everyone, including the mutts and the witches, know that she, my daughter, is the supreme king.”
“But, master, I’m afraid she won’t be completely in control… After all, she’s not awake yet…”
“SHH. Keep your mouth shut, Hawthorne. You should not say such things as you will help her become king.”
Hawthorne bows his head and half drops to his knees.
“I was reckless, my Lord.”
“Stand down.”
Hawthorne returns to the room with mixed feelings at the thought that Hazel will soon be awakened. He knows that awakened vampires are cruel, bloodthirsty, and even out of control, and he is not sure whether Hazel can find his will smoothly.
Hawthorne quietly arrives at the Pack House, sneaks into her room, and sees Hazel still asleep.
“My beauty, I will help you get everything.”
