Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved by Blue Tears
CHAPTER 31 THE PLOT OF VAMPIRES
Anthony’s POV:
My sudden appearance made Jennifer jump back and clutch her chest in shock. Her eyes were wide with surprise.
“Mr. Jones?”
“Didn’t you hear the footsteps? There are vampires nearby,” I whispered, covering her mouth with my hand. “Stop talking. Let’s hide first.”
Then, I pulled Jennifer into my arms and ducked beneath the water with her.
As soon as Jennifer heard that there were vampires nearby, she stiffened and became vigilant. Without asking any more questions, she just stayed motionless and let me hold her.
Not long after we ducked into the pool, the group of vampires came to the hot spring pool.
As a lycan, I had extremely sharp hearing. I guessed that there were more than thirty vampires here, which was really unusual. Although vampires did appear at the border of Red Sun Pack from time to time, there had never been so many of them at the same time. It was only yesterday that Jennifer and I had k*il*led about twenty to thirty vampires, but today, there were another thirty vampires or so. Were these vampires plotting something?
Hiding in the water, I held my breath. Then I heard a vampire begin to curse.
“Damn the werewolves! I wish I could k*il*l them all!”
“The elder asked us to break through Red Sun Pack as soon as possible, but werewolves are brutal by nature. How can we finish the mission so easily? I heard that there were two powerful werewolves near this area yesterday. They managed to k*il*l dozens of vampires on their own. They were too cruel.”
“What are you afraid of? Isn’t the elder trying to capture the Alpha and Luna of Red Sun Pack? Once the two of them fall into our hands, the entire pack will be vulnerable.”
“Exactly. Stop complaining and continue to search the area. Our goal is to annihilate all the werewolves in this forest.”
I was shocked when I heard the vampires’ plan. No wonder there were so many of them gathered together. It turned out that they wanted to take the Alpha and Luna away. Moreover, they wanted to capture the whole Red Sun Pack. These vampires were too ambitious. If we couldn’t find a way to destroy their plan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
While I was thinking about how to deal with the enemies, I noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Jennifer. Her face gradually turned blue, as if she was running out of breath.
Since I was a lycan, I could hold my breath for a much longer time than other werewolves, so being underwater was natural for me. But I had forgotten that for a normal werewolf like Jennifer, it was very different. She must have been suffocating in the water for a long time. I couldn’t let her go to the surface to breathe, so instead, I held the back of her head with one hand and covered her lips with mine, breathing oxygen into her mouth.
For Jennifer, getting a breath of air after suffocating for so long was like seeing the rain after a long-time drought. She greedily sucked up as much air as she could, and her chest rose and fell.
Underwater, I could only vaguely observe her condition. Bit by bit, her features relaxed, making me feel relieved. However, her lips were soft and tender. I didn’t want to let go of them just yet. While breathing oxygen into Jennifer’s mouth, I took the liberty of kissing her.
I couldn’t but indulge in the sweet taste of her lips.
The two of us kissed passionately under the surface of the hot spring pool. Perhaps Jennifer was desperate for oxygen, or perhaps she was as turned on as I was, but she responded enthusiastically to the kiss, wrapping her arms around my waist.
At this moment, all the troubles in my life seemed to disappear. All I could think about was kissing the woman in front of me.
I didn’t know how much time had passed when those vampires finally left. When we swam back up to the surface, Jennifer took a big gulp of fresh air. Color gradually returned to her face.
“Thank you, Mr. Jones. You saved my life again,” she said before lowering her head guiltily. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken a bath in this hot spring pool at such a dangerous time. If you weren’t here, I don’t know what could have happened.”
“Don’t worry. All that matters now is that you’re fine. Let’s go back to the cabin and discuss countermeasures to destroy the vampires’ plan. They are so ambitious that they want to annex the Red Sun Pack!” Instead of blaming or scolding her, I rea*s*sured her as much as I could and changed the topic. “Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
“No, Mr. Jones. Thanks to you, I’m fine.” Jennifer smiled, blushing a little. “Thank you for giving me … the oxygen to save my life.”
I let out an awkward cough.
“It was a life-and-death situation. I’m sorry for offending you.”
My mind was still flooded with the memory of the kiss just now. I would probably never forget the scent of Jennifer’s skin.
“Well, we shouldn’t waste time. Let’s go back quickly,” I added. Restraining my desire, I got out of the hot spring pool first.
Jennifer followed me and put on her clothes in a hurry. I faced the other way to give her some privacy, but I could still hear her movements, which stroked my desire. The image of her n*ake*d body underwater was still fresh in my mind, making me hard.
Soon, the two of us went back to the cabin and changed out of our w*et clothes. Jennifer’s face was still flushed red, as if she still felt embarra*s*sed by what happened just now. However, she looked at me seriously and asked me about our plan.
The first thing I did was take out my phone and call the Alpha of the Red Sun Pack. I had to ask him to prepare for the vampires’ attack.
The call rang for a long time before it was finally answered. However, the werewolf who answered the phone was not the Alpha, but an elder of the Red Sun Pack.
“Hello, Mr. Jones. I’m Ted, an elder of the Red Sun Pack. Both Alpha Boris and Luna Judy have been caught by the vampires, and the situation is very severe. We are in the process of asking other packs for help. If Osman Kingdom could also lend us a hand, we would be very grateful.”
“Both of them have been taken away?”
I didn’t expect that we would be too late.
“Yes,” Ted said anxiously on the other end of the line. “Mr. Jones, please save our pack!”
“Do you know where they have been taken?” I asked calmly.
“They were taken to a castle in the vampires’ territory. We know the exact location, but we don’t have enough f*orc*es in the Red Sun Pack, so we don’t dare to go on a rescue mission just yet.”
“Send me the location and I’ll try to find a solution. In addition, inform the werewolves of the Red Sun Pack to gather as soon as possible and wait for my order in the forest at the border of the pack. I will personally lead them to rescue Boris and Judy. I’ll send you my location as well. Don’t forget to check it.” After relaying clear instructions to Ted, I hung up the phone.
Then, I sent Ted the location of this cabin, to which I soon received a response. Since the Red Sun Pack knew where Boris and Judy were being imprisoned, it wouldn’t be difficult to rescue them. Now that the vampires had gone to such lengths of capturing the Alpha and Luna of not just any pack, but the Red Sun Pack, which I was in, I couldn’t stay out of the matter. Only by rescuing them could I ensure that the stability of the pack was maintained.
I quickly sent a message to the royal guards of Osman Kingdom, asking them to come and help. After making all the necessary arrangements, I took Jennifer to meet the werewolves of the Red Sun Pack. They were so grateful to us that their eyes were full of tears.
It was still the dead of night. Before dawn, we could sneak into the territory of vampires. It was the safest time to rescue Boris and Judy.
With my lead, all the werewolves disguised as vampires and sneaked into their territory. When we arrived near the castle, we learnt that Boris and Judy were locked up in the dungeon. I knew that our disguises could only temporarily protect us from being noticed. Sooner or later, we would be exposed. Therefore, we had to rescue the couple as soon as possible.
Jennifer and I sneaked into the castle, while the other werewolves stayed outside the castle in case we needed reinf*orc*ements. If Jennifer and I failed, they could wait for the royal guards to arrive, and work together with them to rescue us.
After everything was ready, Jennifer and I sneaked into the vampires’ castle in the darkness of the night.
