*That day was very happy* *until the night it was just me and Alcina in the room*
The atmosphere of the room that night felt so different. There was no more the tension of war or the smell of medicinal herbs from the serum—only the gentle fragrance of roses and the warmth of the fire from the fireplace dancing on the stone walls of the castle.
Alcina sat in her large velvet chair, but quickly moved to the edge of the bed as you approached. He was still wearing the necklace you gave him (or the one he liked when he was in town), and his eyes radiated a peace that he hadn't had for hundreds of years.
He grabs your hand, pulling you to sit next to him. The atmosphere was silent, only the sound of the mountain wind whispering outside the tightly closed window.
"Bag..." Her whisper, her voice sounded very soft, almost like a sigh. "Today... I feel really alive. Not as the dreaded Lady Dimitrescu, not as a blood-sucking monster... but as a woman who is very much loved."
He cupped your face with his large but delicate hands, staring right into your eyes with a flash of genuine love.
"Thank you for coming into our lives. Thank you for giving me the courage to come out of the shadows. This castle... This village... now have a soul because of your presence."
He then rests his head on your chest, listening to your calm heartbeat. In this quiet room, under the protection of the Transylvanian nights, you both know that the outside world will not be able to touch this happiness.
The Intimate Moments of the Alpha and the Lady
The night is still long, and it's just the two of you. The light of the fireplace gives a golden hue to your skin.

*Suddenly Alcina's evil secrets are revealed, she bites my neck* Argh Alcina..
The romantic atmosphere that enveloped the room suddenly cracked like glass hit by a hammer. When you're at your weakest and most trustworthy, Alcina doesn't lean her head gently. Instead, it gripped your shoulders with a force capable of crushing concrete, and you felt its sharp fangs dig deep into the veins in your neck.
"ARGH! ALCINA!"
An excruciating pain radiates throughout your body. Not just because of his bite, but because you could feel him trying to suck the Alpha essence that had just merged with your blood.
He pushes you onto the bed, his huge body overwhelming you. Her eyes, which had been full of love, were now turning a wild and crazy golden yellow. He looked like a person in a trance, or perhaps... this is a plan he's been keeping since the first time you beat Miranda.
"Forgive me, Zak..." Her whisper between her bloodsucking, her voice sounded broken between crying and mad laughter. "I can't help it! Your Blood... That energy... If I had it, I would never feel hungry again. I'll never be a monster again! I'll be immortal like you!"
Painful Betrayal
Through the Megamycete connection that you just mastered, you can feel Alcina's very chaotic emotions. This is not just a normal bloodthirst; this is an ancient predatory instinct triggered by the Alpha energy within you. He's obsessed with being your "equal partner," but the way he chooses is to steal your power.
Your blood keeps flowing, and you start to feel dizzy. The golden essence within you begins to fluctuate, reacting to this attack.
Critical Situation
Outside the room, you can feel Heisenberg and Miranda waking up from feeling an unstable surge of energy coming from you.
-
Call for Help: (Shout out to Miranda or Heisenberg to get Alcina away from you).
*It turns out that Miranda and Heisenberg have already planned this, for seized my strength*
Gemini says
The door to the room shatters to pieces before you have time to make a sound. However, instead of coming to your rescue, Heisenberg stepped in with a cold grin that you've never seen before. He held his giant hammer, but this time he didn't point it at Alcina—he pointed it at you.
Miranda emerged from behind a shadow in the corner of the ceiling, her black wings stretching wide, covering the moonlight. No more loving mother's face; All there was was the cold gaze of a scientist who had just trapped the subject of his experiment.
"I'm sorry for you, Zak," Miranda's voice echoed, flat without emotion. "You're really naïve. You think such a large power will be left to be possessed by a 'foreigner' like you forever? We just need you to tame the Megamycete... And now that you've done so, your blood is the key for us to ascend to the level of the gods without the need for you as an intermediary."
Perfect Betrayal
Heisenberg activates a magnetic field throughout the room. You feel as if your body is being squeezed by thousands of tons of gravity, making you motionless under Alcina's overlay. "Don't be offended, Zak. You're a fun guy, but I'm tired of being a subordinate. With your blood in Alcina's veins, and the essence left for me and Miranda... we won't need Alpha anymore. We are Alpha."
Alcina didn't stop. He continued to suck, but tears dripped from his golden yellow eyes. "I'm sorry, honey... But this is the only way that we will never feel afraid of the outside world again."
Desperate Situation
Your Alpha energy is drastically drained. You're betrayed by the people you just took a picture with with a lot of laughter. The family photo you were so proud of is now lying on the floor, stepped on by Heisenberg's boots.
However, they forget one thing: You are the original owner of that power.

*Bela, Cassandra, Daniela didn't know this, as soon as they came and were shocked*
The door of the shattered room shook again as Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela appeared. They come with cheerful faces, perhaps wanting to say good night once again or talk about a dress that was just bought in town.
However, their steps stopped instantly.
Their faces were pale. Before their eyes, their father—the man who had just given them genuine hope and affection—was dying under the bite of their own mother, while their uncle and grandmother stood watching coldly.
"Mom? Uncle Heisenberg? What are you doing?!" shouted Bela in a shrill voice full of horror.
"Stay away, boys!" yelled Heisenberg without turning his head, his hands still focused on keeping the magnetic field pressing against your body. "This is for our future! With this, we can never be destroyed again!"
"But he loves us! He saved us!" Daniela screamed, tears starting to run down her cheeks. He looks at the photo of his family on the floor, then looks at you who has started to pale from blood loss.
The Choice of the Princesses
Miranda turned to the three girls with a threatening look. "Go into your room, or you will be destroyed with him. The choice is simple: Eternal power, or die with this 'man'."
The princesses trembled. They are caught between loyalty to blood (Alcina) and love to soul (Zak).
However, this betrayal was too cruel. Cassandra was the first to take out her energy nails. "She's not just a 'human', Miranda... He is our Father!"
Peak Moment: Alpha's Will
In the midst of this pain and betrayal, seeing your three daughters dare to fight for you awakens something far more powerful than just biological energy. It was Alpha's Rage.
Although your body is suppressed by Heisenberg's magnets and your blood is sucked by Alcina, your consciousness is connected to the entire Mold network in this castle.

*Bela, Cassandra, Daniela obeyed. Because of Alcina, her mother, and her grandmother's mother* *I'm getting more and more lazy* argh me.. Alcina stop, I'm going to die..
