Chapter 46 Repent With Your Death
Chapter 46 Repent With Your Death
"No fucking way!"
Zoravec finally spoke something and after the whole drama between the two women, all he had to say was those words. Devi and Hecate looked at him in surprise at the same moment, they both did not expect him to say something like that. Although it was expected that he would speak something on that matter.
"Are you implying I bit you and drank your blood too?"
His words assured Hecate that her hunch was true, the old woman immediately asked him bluntly. She had no idea that things would turn bad and would escalate that sooner. But she could not take it anymore since Devi did not seem to be going anywhere.
"What are you saying? What do you mean by that? Did you…did you mark her by any chance?"
Hecate did not hold back from saying that, she wanted to know where Devi stood now in his life. Since she had lost him as a son, Hecate could not bear that somebody had already filled the empty spot.
How could she simply let the demoness steal what was hers in the first place! It did not matter whether she stole Zoravec or not, all Hecate wanted was to keep Zoravec in font of her eyes.
Zoravec shook his head as he hid his face between both hands and inhaled deeply. He had no idea how to react to all that shit which was beyond his capability. Hecate waited for a reply from him but Devi spoke up on his behalf. Her tone had a mocking tinge as she tried to sound convincing that she was superior to Hecate and now Zoravec was hers.
"Yes, he marked me. Now you see, he does not think of me as a threat like you did. He knows I have been clear to him and he trusts me, unlike you who called the cops on me without even talking."
Devi seized the chance and again brought up the same thing to show Hecate her place. However, this time she did not only mean that but wanted to show Zoravec how they both were different from each other.
Hecate knew what she was intending to do and she was not going to give in to Devi's provocation. The old woman kept calm and completely ignored her instead she looked at Zoravec. He lifted his head and looked at Hecate as if he had been trying to see her in the same light as before.
"I know you would never trust me again but believe me Zoravec, I did not know anything about this vampiric stuff whatever she is saying. You know I would never hurt you no matter what, it has never crossed my mind that you were not my son."
Hecate knew she might not recover her lost position in his life anymore. But she still hoped to remind him of the love she had for him.
"If I wanted to harm you or intended to kill you then I would have done it years ago. But when I brought you here and saw you in my lap, the moment you cried of hunger I knew I could never kill you."
Zoravec could see tears welling up in her eyes as a sign of her truthfulness. Although deep down he also knew she was not lying.
He could not explain it or prove it but somehow he just knew. Zoravec could feel it within his bones that Hecate meant no harm to him. Although he did not say it acknowledging that it would simply put Hecate and Devi against each other. They both were already in a race to ridicule and put each other down.
"I know I have committed a sin which is unforgivable and there is probably no way that I can get my place back in your life. But I hope we can still see each other even if we don't talk. Mm, please?"
Hecate begged him verbally to keep contact with her since she could not afford staying away from him. After all, she had raised him when he was an infant and gave Zoravec the golden years of her youth.
On the other hand he did not say anything and instead kept quiet while looking at Hecate. Zoravec had no idea how to keep both ladies away from each other yet stay with both of them. He did not intend to lose any of them yet he could not forgive Hecate or could really trust Devi too.
He thought about it for a long time while both of the ladies insisted on speaking to each other. Zoravec had no clue how he could prevent them from quarrelling, it was his first time being put in such a situation where he was helpless. Even his brain and tactics gave up at that moment and he could not think of anything.
"Tell her to stop already with her pathetic pleading and lying. I can't take it anymore, it is getting sick and cringing."
Devi interrupted his track of thoughts once again with her bickering. It was clear she intended to ridicule Hecate with whatever she got. The demoness sat there with a proud expression over her face assuming that Zoravec will take her side.
"Oh will you stop spitting frogs from your mouths for once? Don't you see we are talking? Keep your mouth shut if you don't want to end up like a pathetic bitch."
Hecate snapped at her with hatred, it was enough and unbearable for her now. She did not intend to hear her nonsense anymore, Devi had already crossed her limits so many times.
"You old hag! I should have already ripped you apart like those stupid cops you called. Hah! Your death will be enough, a sign of repentance."
Devi snickered as she transformed her hands into claws and looked at Hecate like a predator.
"What? What did you do to them?"
It was the moment when Hecate finally realised that the cops had not come down. Her attention was drawn towards that matter now, that both of the ladies totally neglected Zoravec.
"SHUT UP! Just shut up you both!"
This time he shouted at them, only to force the ladies to look at him in shock.
