Chapter 21

Seeing the mighty gray wolf of Alpha Henry, the whole crowd cheered for him. Chloe and company were worried, but Edith was standing serenely, fixing his sleeve as this was the most crucial task right now.

Grey wolf of Alpha Henry was glaring at his opponent, growling furiously. Without wasting any second, he launched at Edith, claws spread and ready to kill.

With his growl resonated from the deep in his throat, Grey wolf's belly was scratched by the sharp nails of Edith as he lowered his body just in time and caught his flesh midair.

While avoiding the sharpness of those claws which were targeting his neck, Edith swiped the Alpha Henry’s wolf, cutting a piece of his ear.

During this effort, the wolf’s razor edge teeth sunk into Edith’s unguarded shoulder. He bit his lower lip and shook his body, even Alpha Henry’s wolf was desperately trying to hold him longer, but he was thrown to the cheering audience.

Immediately, every one jumped back.

“Shoot! Werewolf’s venom is contagious for Vampires.”

Jason's distressed voice resonated in Chloe’s mind. Distraught by this new information, Chloe tried to approach Edith, but Jason fixed her on his shoulders.

“Royal Uncle has time. Just wait, he can win easily.”

Back on the ground, Edith’s eyes were shining with thirst, he was visibly annoyed by Alpha Henry’s puny claws. He dodged the onslaught hurled at him and snagged his tail.

The Big Grey wolf yelped as he was yanked backwards and banged to the ground in a vicious cycle. Edith broke his backbone with one blow, not giving him any chance to recover, and plunged his pointed fangs into his neck.

He closed his eyes peacefully and savored his kill, snapping Alpha Henry’s neck with his bare hand.

“Crack!”

That loud bone breaking sound silenced the crowd, they forgot to breathe with the biggest upset of history.

Strength was something werewolves' are proud of, winning every battle with their sheer sturdiness. Vampires, on the other hand, advocate for stealth methods.

Their planning, politics and excellent witches were the secret of their successful survival. This kind of brawn was rare even in warriors overall, let alone Werewolf and Vampire Kingdoms.

Edith straightened up, retrieved a handkerchief from his pocket, and cleaned the corners of his lips. Then he raised his head, while folding it back nonchalantly.

“Well, here is your dead wolf. Any other service for me?”

Alpha Lawrence and co were hushed to death, like Edith had drained all the blood from their bodies instead of Alpha Henry.

Jason put Chloe down, she ran towards Edith. He extended his hand, but she ignored it and directly clung to his chest. Then, desperately, she pulled his robe and bared his hard chest. The whole crowd witnessed when she wiped his blooded skin and a bit with all her might, claiming Edith as hers.

He wrapped his arms around her, Chloe finally felt at home in his icy embrace.

How Jason bashed Alpha Lawrence, William announced a Wedding Ceremony for this newly marked couple, Freya and Lisa packed their belongings, and they all went back together to the Vampire Kingdom; all these things were beyond Chloe’s comprehension. She was lost in his arms, melting under Edith’s loving gaze which was solely fixed on her.

During the entire car ride, all of them were silent, spell bounded in the bliss of the moment. As soon as they reached the Vampire Kingdom, Edith asked Jason to stop.

“Thanks for the ride, see you!”

He picked up Chloe and sprinted away, leaving them flabbergasted.

“Why Royal Uncle didn’t come with us? The whole family will be overjoyed seeing him normal and forgiven by the Goddess Sangius.”

They were all in deep thoughts, but Freya was the one to voice her disquiet. William just laughed at her innocence, but Jason pulled her ponytail.

“Can’t you understand that the Royal Uncle has found his beloved after four centuries. They must be dying to step out of their clothes and…..”

Freya punched him freely, her cheeks turned crimson, following by a combine hearty laughter of Jason and William.

…

With the supersonic speed of Edith, Chloe was unable to track the way. He took her to the basement without getting spotted in the broad daylight.

She was expecting an old, creepy, worn-out basement, but surprisingly, it was a modern house beneath the Villa.

the Whole theme was red and black, a typical vampire’s choice. After passing through the long corridor, they reached in the spacious living room, which was decorated luxuriously with up-to-date furniture.

There were three bedrooms opening into the main lounge, Edith took her to the master bedroom, which was thoroughly different from the whole house.

Pink walls, pink curtains, neon lights, starry decorations with a proper dressing table was shocking for Chloe. Today was indeed a day of surprises for her!

He placed her on the soft bed attentively, his blue eyes searching for any inconvenience.

“Stay here!”

Edith ordered her and closed the door before leaving.

“Impossible, we aren’t here to wait for him. Let’s go!”

Chloe was planning to wait for him obediently, but Lulu was overzealous after marking him. Completion of the mate-bond had activated mate-pull, the emptiness Chloe felt after he left was making her anxious.

She got up and followed his scent, which lead her to the kitchen. There she saw Edith, keenly reading the packet while stirring a spoon in the boiling water.

“What is he cooking?”

Chloe was amused at his serious gesture, but she concealed it under her curious look.

“This is the most popular snack girls eat nowadays. I am figuring out how to cook it.”

He was helpless despite simple instructions, clearly indicating that he never stepped in the kitchen before.

“Wait, I asked you to stay in the room, what are you doing here?”

His mood changed quickly, his eyes turned red instantly as he spoke in a low but warning tone. Chloe chuckled and picked the cake of instant noodles and put it into the hot water.

“I am hungry.”

She had many savage replies in her mind but chose to stay silent to calm his fury. She will have plenty of time for this in the future.

“Oh! I can go out for take away, what do you want to eat?”

Within seconds, Edith was keen to helpless, then angry and now panicked at hunger issues.

“He has no control over his emotions.”

Chloe noted it in her mind.

“This will be done in two minutes. You have already boiled water, which was the main part.”

His relaxed smile blossomed cherry blossoms in Chloe’s heart. He wrapped his long arms around her waist from behind,

“Thanks for choosing me!”

Edith’s husky voice whispered in her ears like an epiphany, he kissed her ear ever so gently that her every cell of the body twirled with the rhythm of her racing heart beat.

Chloe pressed her back to him,

“Thanks for killing that bastard. I have a hit list for you. You have to take revenge for me.”

Before her noodles could turn into charcoal, she closed the stove, with Edith’s promises that he will kill every one she demanded.

Instead of going back to the room, Chloe sat down on the sofa, balancing the bowl in her hands as Edith tugged her to his chest.

“Will you taste your first try?”

Chloe offered him a bite, but he refused,

“I don’t eat.”

“Vampires do eat. I have seen several Vampires licking their plates during meal times.”

Chloe blurted out, Lulu reprimanded her,

“Are you blind, Chloe. He can’t cook and he lives alone. How can he eat?”

But Edith’s reply left her appalled.
