Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

Chapter 37 She Is A Threat



"I am not even coming at your son."

Devi mocked her upon seeing Hecate was unnecessarily suspecting him. However it gave Zoravec a clear picture about the tussle between his mum and seemingly girlfriend. He shifted glances from his Hecate towards Devi. Zoravec sprinted to the side and came forward.

The demoness could not take the bullshit anymore so she burst out in rage. Her words froze Zoravec who had no clue that soon his life would turn out to be a lie. Devi was also interested in why Hecate was worried about him and behaving like that.

"Why are you acting like I will eat him alive? Or as if I am a potential threat to him?"

Hecate' expressions immediately changed as her eyes widened upon the words. She did not expect to be confronted that bluntly. But since Devi had already thrown words at her, Hecate had no other option but to clarify the things. The demoness did not stop there instead pushed the scene to pressurise her.

"What are you hiding? Why is everything so…so dramatic about this situation?"

Devi boldly addressed her actions, making Zoravec think about the whole matter too. He never suspected anything until made him realise that his mother's behaviour had been weird ever since her arrival.

He turned around to face Hecate and confronted him about whatever Devi said. Zoravec could clearly see horror in his mother's eyes, it left him in panic whether there was actually something suspicious or not. Hecate placed her hand over his cheek and shook her head slowly as if she had been silently pleading Zoravec not to ask more.

"Mom tell me….please tell me what is it? Why did you call the squad on Devi? You knew she was not a threat to me, she did not even hurt me."

He tried to take sides with Devi while stating the facts based on the recent actions of the demoness. Zoravec never expected that his mother would do something like that.

Hecate burst in tears and lowered her head for a few brief moments. The old woman was not ready to accept that her son was standing against her. Whereas Zoravec was not able to figure out why his mother was behaving secretively like that. However Hecate lifted her head up when he carried his confrontation further.

"I noticed that you disliked Devi and her presence irked you. But I did not know you would go this far to get rid of her, mom. Why? Why did you do that?"

Zoravec kept the details hidden because he intended to know how Hecate figured out Devi' truth. How did she know about her secret, her identity?

Devi did not say anything, instead she sneaked away to get some snacks. Even though she was a demoness and her food was lust but like eerie other species lust was her energy booster. She became hungry after all the brief action which occurred upstairs. The demoness seized the chance and immediately headed to find something to eat.

"No, no son. Please don't doubt my intentions. I would never…never hurt you."

After she was gone, Hecate tried to talk to him about her actions. How could she let her son doubt her love and care? The old woman was devastated that her services, care and affection were doubted after the arrival of Devi.

"I was protecting you. Yes, I was just protecting you from that girl."

Hecate grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled Zoravec closer to her. He could clearly see a hysterical expression over her face, which probably was an expected reaction. After all, she had acted on her motherly instinct and did everything which she could to protect her son.

However her sudden strong pull and the widened eyes in horror made Zoravec evident that there was something more to the whole matter. His mother was not worried about Devi being a demoness, there should have been something more which could make the old woman tremble in fear.

"She is not a human like us. She is a demoness. A vile creature, Zoravec.'

Hecate reached for his face and haphazardly touched Zoravec' cheeks and then his chest. Her gestures held utter panic which scared Zoravec about if his life was in danger or what. He began to question everything now, and it made sense regarding why would the demoness approach him in the first place.

Was it really that his lust tendencies were higher? Or was she speaking the truth regarding him being the strongest vessel? If that was a truthful confession then Hecate's worry and suspicion was right and valid.

"I was keeping you away from her, she is not a good one. Please trust your mother, Zoravec. Tell her to leave, your life is in danger. Please I can't risk your safety, son."

She nearly pleaded to him in a weary voice which soon became shallow indicating Hecate was about to cry. However in her worry she blurted out the hints which utterly confirmed his hunch.

Zoravec froze in his place, he had no clue what his mother had been talking about. But one thing seemed significant that Hecate was not lying. Her trembling, hysterical behaviour and utter bold decision to call the squad stated that something was surely suspicious about the whole thing.

"What do you mean by the danger? What kind of threat are you talking about? And are you by any chance hinting towards Devi about the danger?"

Zoravec boldly confronted her with those questions. He awaited for the truthful response from her mother because if his life was in danger, then he deserved to know the whole thing.

Hecate stepped back a little and slumped into the sofa which was right behind her. The woman probably was not expecting the truth to come out that sooner. She had no idea that the day would arrive where she would face her son like that. Shame and hesitation was utterly surfacing on her face.
