Instead of cowering in fear after hearing Raizel's declarations, Vladimir erupted into a peal of laughter. Even the other members of the White Claw Pack laughed with him.
Raizel frowned and grabbed Cleo by his neck, revealing his sharp nails and fangs. "Do you think I'm bluffing? I can kill him right now."
Raizel began twisting Cleo's neck but Vladimir walked forward, grabbing Raizel's arm.
"I didn't mean to offend you. But I can't let you kill our Alpha's Beta." Vladimir was now looking at Raizel seriously. He already stopped laughing.
Raizel frowned as he could feel Vladimir's extraordinary strength. This elder werewolf was more powerful than he expected.
"Let's negotiate. Honestly, I am laughing since you did us a favor by attacking this headquarters. My pack and I were planning to do it. But you moved ahead of us. I should thank you for that." Vladimir smiled maliciously.
Vladimir was glad that these vampires were the ones who eliminated the werewolf fighters sent by Dominique. With this, Dominique would never think that the White Claw Pack was up to something and was scheming a rebellion. The vampires would be the ones to blame for their deaths.
"Mr. Vampire… I have a proposition. Why don't we help each other in killing the Werewolf King, Dominique?" Vladimir began to negotiate with Raizel.
Meanwhile, Raizel was taken aback for a moment when he heard that. These werewolves planned to rebel against the current Werewolf King– werewolves betraying werewolves.
"You can even betray your own kind… No wonder you can betray us anytime. We are not a fool to join hands with rotten werewolves like you." Raizel mocked them.
The other werewolves got mad when they heard that. They were about to shift to their wolf forms to attack Raizel but Vladimir stopped them.
"The Alpha of our pack will get executed. We have to save him. I promise… as the elder of the White Claw Pack, we will help you in eliminating the Werewolf King. We are familiar with the in and out of the palace. It's been so long since the last time you returned to the Kingdom of Phantasia. We will be your guide." Vladimir continued to convince Raizel to join hands.
Raizel was silent. Werewolves couldn't be trusted. But Vladimir's proposal was tempting. Vladimir and his group could be the frontliners that would pave way for the vampires.
"Heh… maybe this is not a bad idea. If ever you will betray us, we can just kill you on the spot!" Victoria's voice was heard from the back. She finally joined them.
Raizel shook his head while giving her a meaningful gaze. 'We can't trust them, Victoria.'
'I know. But we can use them!' Victoria reasoned out. The two spoke in their minds using their telepathic skills.
On the other hand, Vladimir smiled when Victoria arrived. At least, this vampire was willing to join hands with them, unlike Raizel.
"We can make this alliance official using blood compact!" Vladimir suggested.
"Alright. We can do that. Rai, let go of that, their comrade." Victoria ordered Raizel. 'Just trust me. Leave the negotiation with me.' Victoria added in their minds.
Raizel threw Cleo on the floor. He was angry at himself. He betrayed Kira and now, they were forming an alliance with a group of traitor werewolves.
"I'm out here. If they betray us, I will kill them all…" Raizel walked out, leaving Victoria behind. He didn't know what she was thinking. Among them, Victoria was the one who hated werewolves the most. Why was she doing this? Was she plotting something?
For now, Raizel decided to trust Victoria. Besides, their goal was to eradicate the werewolf clan. It only meant they would also kill these werewolves after using them with their plans.
"When do you plan to attack?" Victoria asked Vladimir. She could tell that their plan was already set. They were having a meeting in that secret room.
"According to our Spy… two days from now, they will hold a public execution of our Alpha. We will launch an attack and rescue him. To do that, we need to kidnap the Queen. The Queen is Dominique's weakness." Vladimir informed her.
Victoria's lips tugged upward in a satisfied smile. She wanted to target the Werewolf Queen as well. She was the reason why Kira refused to marry her and make her the Vampire Queen.
"Okay. We will help you with that. I will kidnap the Queen and you will save your Alpha." Victoria declared to them.
"This is a deal!" Vladimir extended his right hand to Victoria. But Victoria ignored it. Though she agreed to form an alliance with them, she didn't want to hold his hand. For her, they were still the rotten and sly werewolves who betrayed the Vampire Clan.
Victoria just turned around and spoke one last time. "Triple W will become our headquarters starting tonight. Imprison the witches and werewolves in the underground prison cell."
The unconscious members of Triple W were transferred to the prison cell. At their weakest, Vampires were thinking of compelling them, making those warriors obey any orders from the vampires. Through this, they would increase the forces that would raid the Kingdom of Phantasia.
Victoria and Raizel succeeded in taking over the Triple W headquarters without the knowledge of Dominique and Serena.
'I can see the victory… soon.' Victoria smiled triumphantly.
As everyone was making a move, Kira was still stuck in his coffin. No one knew that he was there. Serafino finally convinced Gizel to help them. But something was wrong. The Vampire King disappeared.
"I have been waiting here. Where is Kira?" Gizel was losing her patience. She was supposed to meet Kira to strategize their moves. But until now, Kira didn't show up to their meeting place.
Serafino kept pacing back and forth. He was worried about Kira. This was the first time he got late during their meet-up.
"What if something might have happened to him?" Serafino raised his concern but Gizel just laughed at him.
"Kira is a powerful vampire. He is the King of Vampire. Do you think he will get easily defeated by enemies?" Gizel sneered at him.
"But… If he is alright, he should have arrived here a long time ago. We must find him!" Serafino could no longer wait. With his vampiric speed, he left the area.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Gizel had no choice but to follow him.
