Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

"Tell me. Why are you silent?"

Zoravec confronted his mother about the words she just spouted. He wanted to know the truth now, it somehow made him irk and suspect that whatever Hecate would say would not be nice. But either way he wished to be aware of whatever it was.

He squatted in front of her and placed his one hand over Hecate' knee. The old woman hid her face in between both hands as she sobbed heavily. Zoravec could hear her crying which left a deep impression on him regarding the matter.

It was certain that whatever the truth was it was not pleasant for him. And concluding from his mother's crying it was not a measly thing too. The interest was constantly rising and it made Zoravec restless but he still prevented himself from shouting.

Meanwhile Devi strode back into the lounge with a medium sized ice cream bucket and a spoon. She was eating inside it and glanced at the mother son duo who was still struggling with the communication. The demoness silently walked towards the opposite sofa where she plopped in before speaking.

"Uh? Still not willing to tell him the truth?"

Devi mocked Hecate while she dug the spoon into the ice cream. It was not like she herself knew what the truth was because according to her the only motive to approach Zoravec was his strong body.

Zoravec turned around and shouted at her while totally enraged. Even though head issues with his mother now and wanted a lot of answers. It did not mean that anyone could ridicule her in front of him, and it had been the second time Devi crossed her line.

"Shut up! I am talking to her. Keep your mouth stuffed with ice cream."

The words came out in a high pitched tone from his mouth which startled the demoness. She had never imagined that he would act like that with her. But Devi could not keep herself contained seeing Hecate was still unwilling to do that.

The demoness pouted upon hearing those insulting words. Nobody had ever talked to her like that and it became unbearable for her to swallow it. Devi had played the authoritative role ever since she started to look out for the hosts. It was the first time that she got rebuked and scolded by one of her hosts.

"Please."

Zoravec immediately knew that she had gotten hurt and he needed to apologise to her. But he did not want to worsen the situation by doing it in front of his own mother. She was already vary of the demoness and if Zoravec tried to pamper her then Hecate would mistake his actions as some spell influence.

The certain thoughts made him turn to look at Devi and made her a pleading facial gesture. He could not let both of the women fight with each other for him after all it was clear that both of them were concerned about him. Devi did not reply to him and concentrated on her strawberry ice cream which was melting in the bucket.

"Mum, please tell me. Share your pain and worries with me. Tell me why my life is in danger?"

He questioned the old woman once again, Hecate finally lifted her face up to see him. She looked at him with affection while casting a brief look at Devi who was sitting opposite to them.

The demoness did not say anything, instead put her right leg over the left one and immersed herself in eating. She was all ears towards their conversation, after all curiosity also trapped her regarding why Hecate was so cautious of her.

"Please know this, son, that no matter what happens you will never doubt my intentions."

Hecate was still hesitant to tell him the truth in one go, but it made Zoravec clear that the truth must be something big. His mother went through lengths to assure him about her affection and love.

"Does this mean whatever the truth is, it can waver my love and respect for you?"

Zoravec bluntly confronted her and the words felt like an arrow shot straight at her heart. Hecate had no reply to his question, the woman lowered her head as the indication that her son's speculations might come out as true.

Devi on the other hand scoffed inwardly upon hearing that conversation. She wanted to butt in but prevented herself from speaking anything. Since there was the blood bond between her and Zoravec was strong enough to put some forceful remarks and restrictions over her. The demoness certainly did not intend to trigger him in a bad way so he would resort to using that 'command.'

"I wanted to tell you this in some decent situation, but it seems the time has come and I can't hide this anymore."

Hecate took a deep breath before starting to talk, she cast a brief look at Devi with keen eyes. Perhaps she was making sure that after listening to the truth Devi would not kill her.

Zoravec anticipated the answer from his mother patiently, though his heart was already beating crazily. He had no clue what was going to happen but he was not prepared for it. However after a brief pause Hecate finally blurted out the truth. The woman inhaled sharply before speaking and averted her gaze after disclosing to him the news.

"You...you are not my son."

,m Hecate immediately shut her eyes after saying that as one tear crawled down her wrinkled cheeks. Meanwhile the spoon also dropped from Devi's hand, it was not that she was shocked or felt bad for Zoravec. Since she had no affection or some soft corner for him, but that family drama was too much for her to handle.

Whereas Zoravec was frozen in his place upon hearing those words. It appeared that his whole life was just a big fat lie and he had nothing else left which could point out his origin. But wait, that was not it. Hecate had something else to confess too which shattered Zoravec' every hope.

"I stole you!"
