[Edward’s P.O.V.]
“Alpha.” Just as I was rushing towards the castle, a man’s voice called out to me.
I turned around. It was Alonso while Susanna stood beside him.
“Was that you?” asked I in surprise. I knew that Nicholas had been hit by some other force when he tried to attack me, but I hadn’t expected Alonso to appear here, because I knew that he wasn’t allowed to interfere with this matter by the higher power.
“Actually, that was Susanna,” said he to me and I looked gratefully at Susanna.

At this moment, another person joined us. It was a man with blue hair. I immediately recognized who he was.
I saw the change in Susanna’s expression. She seemed to be able to see through this man’s disguise very quickly.
“Annabel? Oh My God, why did you do this to yourself?”
“Hello, Susanna, Alonso.” Annabel spoke as Herbert. “Nicholas killed my clone. So, I had to change my identity and let him think that I was really dead. Of course, I succeeded in making him think that Emily was the Werewolf of Chaos he was looking for. In some ways, he was as stupid as a pig.”
“I didn’t expect that I would one day fight alongside a dark witch,” said Susanna.
“Thank you for your help, but I don’t have much time now. I need to find Rose first.”
I said to them and continued to move. I felt that Alonso wanted to say something to me, but he ultimately chose to remain silent. I didn’t have time to question him.
“Alpha!”
As I continued to move towards the castle, I met Patrick and Dylan who were heading towards me. Beside them was an Omega she-wolf. I didn’t know why, but their expressions were very serious.
I knew this she-wolf. Her name was Marcia and she was the mother of two wolf pups. She was once a competent female warrior, but after giving birth, she ‘retired’. However, when she learned that we were about to face a dangerous race, she volunteered to rejoin Jane’s female warrior team.
“Alpha, I’ve made a huge mistake! Please forgive me!”
Before I could speak, Marcia suddenly knelt before me. Her face was filled with regret and tears.
“What happened?” asked I. An ominous premonition enveloped my heart.

[Marcia’s Memory 1]
We knew that our compatriots outside the castle were engaged in a fierce battle with vampires. This made us very worried. But we also knew that we had a more important mission.
Gamma Jane had told us not long ago that vampires were likely to take women and children as hostages, and that if things got bad, we needed to ‘volunteer’ ourselves as their hostages. But she had also told us not to act rashly, to play it by ear, and to protect ourselves to the best of our ability.
We were gathered in the castle hall on the first floor when I saw some vampires appear out of thin air in front of us, holding something like a black hood. Even though we had been mentally prepared and well-trained, their sudden appearance still made my heart race.
We pretended to be normal Omega werewolves and ran away screaming but I was somehow suddenly pulled into a room. I didn’t even know how I was pulled in but something seemed to be controlling me.
I saw a she-wolf with her back to me standing by the window. She looked familiar, and when she turned around, I was surprised to find that the lover, Miss Mona, that Alpha had brought home a few days ago.
“Marcia, don’t say anything now. Listen to me,” said Miss Mona to me.
I didn’t know what she was going to say to me but I knew that I had been ‘dragged’ into the room by some sort of force, which I found quite strange. At the same time, I felt uneasy because I had no idea what was going on outside.
