The Accidental Vampire

Atlas understood that there was a chance that Lilith was safe and didn't need his help, but he didn't want to take a chance. He had been late once before. He didn't want to lose another person in a similar manner.

If there was even the slightest chance of Lilith being in danger, he wanted to be there for her.

At a time like this, when Lilith was missing, every hour was too much. Still, he gave Lancaster a chance. He gave them six hours to enter the city and to find Lilith.

"If you can't find her roaming on the streets safely in six hours, that will confirm that she is in danger," Atlas stated. "I will have to greet them personally to ask for Lilith's return."

"I understand. I promise that if I can't find Lilith in six hours, I won't stop you. Instead, I'll help you. Even I won't let anything happen to Lilith."

The Werewolves were his own people. Generally, he should've cared for the Werewolves, yet he sided with Atlas more since he had more interaction with Atlas than with the Wolves.

Along this journey, he had also bonded to an extent with Lilith. He himself cared for her and wanted her to be safe since she wasn't a bad person.

All Lilith cared for was protecting Atlas, and Lancaster understood that Atlas needed her in his life, especially after losing his sister.

He clenched his fist. "I will bring her back."

Holding Yovana's hands, he left the forest, leaving Atlas behind alone.

Watching the two leave, Atlas prayed that they were going to find Lilith. More than this mission, Lilith's safety mattered to him.

Atlas gazed at the rising sun in the distance.

"There were no battle marks in that place when I woke up. No one took Lilith when she was there, and there weren't any battles either. Moreover, if someone had actually arrived, I would've been attacked as well if it were the Wolves who took Lilith, so she herself left that place, but still… I hope she is safe."

Atlas walked back and forth around the carriage, lost in thoughts and waiting for the six hours to pass.

Outside the forest, Lancaster reached the entrance of the Royal City of the Wolves, being stopped by the guards.

The guards realized he was also a wolf, but the person with him wasn't. It was also their first time seeing this person.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Lancaster, and this is my wife. Is there something wrong for which we are stopped?"

"We've never seen you before. Your aura is also slightly strange. Where are you from? And what purpose do you hold for coming here?"

" I don't live in the Kingdom of Wolves. It's my first time coming here so of course, you didn't see me before. My family had left the kingdom a long time ago and settled elsewhere. Since I've recently married, my family told me to visit our homeland to show my wife the place. You can consider that our purpose."

As he talked, he wrapped his arms around the waist of Yovana, acting as if she was his wife to get her a faster entry.

The two guards didn't have too many questions since they were before another Vampire. According to the rules of the Kingdom, this was a kingdom made for Werewolves, and any of them could leave or come back at any time without any extra needs.

Moreover, this man seemed to be here only for a vacation. They didn't interrogate him too much as it was a couple of Werewolf and a Human, so there was no threat.

"Alright. You two get inside."

Just as Lancaster had expected, they gained an instant entry. This was also the plan of Lilith. The only difference was that in the initial plan, she would've pretended to be a human here with her husband Atlas, who would be hiding his Vampire aura to look human.

Lilith wanted to make it seem like Lancaster was a Werewolf who was coming here for his honeymoon, and he brought his friends as well to show him his homeland. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case anymore, so the part about Lilith and Atlas needed to be removed.

After getting permission to enter the city, Lancaster stepped past the Guards, taking his first step inside the kingdom.

It was the first time Lancaster had stepped foot inside the well-known City of the Wolves, which was also the homeland.

This was the place that Lancaster always wanted to return to after finding out his real ancestors, yet he never imagined that his entry was going to be like this.

Even as he arrived here, he didn't have time to marvel at the city.

"Yovana, we don't have much time; we only have six hours. You start from the east. I'll take the west. After five hours, we would meet in the middle of the city. Alright?"

"Should we really separate? That doesn't sound too good."

"That way, we can cover more land. And don't worry. No one knows what you really are. I don't think anyone would hurt you here. You just need to find Lilith. Alright? Just don't enter any conflict you shouldn't enter, and you'll be fine."

Yovana was hesitant about separating from Lancaster, partially because she didn't trust him entirely. She didn't want to leave him alone so he could betray them. She knew that there was a really high chance that he wasn't going to, yet she didn't want to take a risk.

Unfortunately, she couldn't give any reason for her hesitation. She couldn't tell that she didn't trust him. Ultimately, Yovana could only agree, nodding her head.

The two youngsters separated, going in different directions in search of Lilith.

The two went through the entire city, trying to find even a single glimpse of Lilith. The two occasionally even asked people if they had seen her, giving descriptions of Lilith.

The Royal City was so beautiful and culturally rich, yet Lancaster didn't have time to appreciate the city. He kept searching for Lilith in the massive city, only having six hours to do it.

Time kept trickling away as Lancaster moved from one place to another. Minutes turned to hours.

A bright sun shone in the sky, providing the city with the warmth. It was close to twelve in the afternoon. Only a couple of hours were left before the deadline was going to be over.

As more time passed, even Lancaster started to have a bad feeling. If even he couldn't find Lilith in the city despite spending so much time, the chances of her being safe went down with each passing second.
