Alpha's Cursed Mate novel Chapter 29

Estelle's POV

"So you're familiar with that kind of death? Vampires." Lance's voice emits a threatening note that I'm sure is partly from the natural reaction of werewolves to vampires.

"Because they're drained of blood, werewolves."

It was like there was an invisible web pulling back and forth between Lance and Noah, and the smell of gunpowder in the air needed only the slightest spark to ignite. I could only pray that they would never fight here, and I was still thinking about finding my father.

"I haven't ruled out before that someone deliberately confused our investigation by draining the blood in this way."

"I didn't rule it out either, so I went to investigate." Noah's tone took on some pride.

"Investigate? You infiltrated the wolves' territory?"

"That's right, I blended into your territory." Noah's dark red eyes looked provocatively at Lance.

The veins in Lance's forehead bulged vaguely, his territory had been invaded, a shame he had never encountered before.

"You've been in my wolf pack before? I have the tightest patrols of any wolf pack."

"So more people from other wolf packs died didn't they? Don't give me that look, it's easy for a pureblood vampire to get into a werewolf's territory. Your territory just takes a little more time."

"So what? What did you find?"

"Sadly, the other guy was smart enough. He didn't leave any traces." Noah sighed with mock regret.

"The ones invading our territory are pure-blood vampires?"

"Pretty much, pure-blood vampires all have the ability to transform humans, and the wounds on those corpses, at a glance, were caused by lower-rank vampires. And to be able to cause this kind of mass murder and still not be discovered by us means that the other party is keen enough."

"That's a much smaller area, can we find him?"

"You can't say that either. Although pure-blood vampires are few and far between, they all come from noble houses. And no one wants to contact with the outside world except me."

"There are two races at stake, and you want to go to war with us?" Lance's grip on the arm of his chair tightened and I heard the sound of wood cracking.

"To be honest, most vampires don't care. Each family is so convoluted that they're probably happier to see their own family perish than a werewolf."

"It's your business if you don't care; I have to take responsibility for my people. If they don't cooperate, I will get rid of them all."

"Of course you're not afraid, I've heard of the 'Legion' name. But you and I both know it involves more than just your wolves. If the balance between werewolves and vampires is upset, we'll be in for another round of war for decades afterwards."

"Now that you know this, go talk to your kind." Lance frowned, he was getting impatient.

"That's the problem, not to mention my kind, I can't even persuade the old guys in my family."

"But I heard that the leader of the Toreador family turned all the disobedient old men in his family into ashes."

"Let's take each other on that point."
