Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives-Chapter 97 Joining Vampire Army
"I cannot talk to you the way things used to be. It is hard for me to see you the way it was before. Everything has changed drastically and I cannot bring myself to respect you like before. Instead of giving me some time to swallow and accept all this you are pressuring me into forceful acceptance."
Zoravec spoke truthfully what he felt about that whole situation because the things were going out of his hands. He could clearly see that Hecate was crying, there was an endless sorrow in her eyes which he could not deny. But it was also evident that he could not ignore whatever she did to him.
"I…I know, but can't you…"
Hecate lifted her hand to touch his cheek while she sobbed, tears crawled on her cheek but it did not have a huge effect on Zoravec. She wanted to say something but Zoravec stopped her midway when he grabbed her hand.
"No, not anymore.'
Zoravec politely shrugged off her hand and stopped Hecate from touching him further. He could not bear to act worse with her anymore, but it was also true that he could not accept everything. His expressions turned soft and saddened equally like Hecate as he burst out.
"See I can't even call you mom now. And you want me to go back to normal as if nothing happened? That's not possible, definitely not possible. You have turned my life upside down, my…my identity, my normal life now has the involvement of cops, a demoness, a dhampir mother and whatnot."
He raked through his hair and moved away from her, subconsciously he waved his hands around in anger. Zoravec's eyes began to glow crimson now due to his heightened emotions. There were only specific times his eyes shone red and that involved either anger or when he was aroused.
There were only those two causes for now, which made his powers appear as outbursts. He was aware of it and that was why Zoravec tried to stay calm even though his anger was obvious. Zoravec moved away from her so he could not hurt her intentionally. Hecate wanted to shift everything back to normal but she had to give some time to Zoravec.
"I have decided something."
Zoravec spoke immediately after he massaged his temples for a brief moment. His words and the sudden switch of tone made Hecate alert immediately. She lifted her head up and stared at Zoravec while silently praying that the news would not be bad.
"What? What have you planned?" 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Hecate was not sure what he had planned but she knew it would not be any good. However, she still hoped for better and was sure that it might have something to do with Devi. Hecate was sure that she must have something to do with the plan. And nothing good could come from a demoness.
Zoravec knew his decision would definitely put Hecate in trouble. And will make her sad but it was the best for everyone because Zoravec was unable to make things go back to normal. He sighed heavily and saw that Hecate was looking at him with an impatient expression in her eyes.
"I have decided to join the army. And I am leaving in a few days."
He spoke in one go and disclosed the news which fell like a thunderbolt to Hecate. The woman did not have any clue that Zoravec would go to such lengths to ignore her. He had no idea why he would suddenly want to join the army.
It was obvious that joining an army would definitely put his identity in danger. And since he would be interacting with other people from other species, it would simply put his life in danger. And joining the army meant that he will be under the radar of William and his team. But since Hecate was unaware of that, her only guess was to protect Zoravec's identity. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
"But why? Why are you going away from me? What have I done to you that you hate me so much? I know what I did was wrong, but can't you just forgive me? Am I that bad that you are running away from me?"
Hecate burst out in tears and slumped on the floor as she hid her face between both hands.
She could not bear that her only son was going away from her and all she could do was watch with helplessness. Hecate was unable to bear his rudeness and the cold shoulder he had been giving her. Now Zoravec told her about his departure which made her even more sad upon the whole situation.
"You know why I am going and what the reason is. Yet you ask me all this? I cannot stay here anymore, that is why I am going and this is my final decision."
He had an utter grief in his tone upon saying all those words which made him feel a bit heavy in his chest. Even though he was sure that the news was heavy for both of them to handle.
But what needed to be done was necessary. And it was the only way for Zoravec to revive the respect he had lost for his mother. Since, she had been losing it frequently ever since the arrival of Devi and the disclosure of the truth. He was sure that going away from her would definitely do good to both of them.
"I hope this will be better for all of us."
Zoravec cast a final look at Hecate who had been sitting on the floor with her face covered. But upon hearing his last words she looked up at him with her sleepless reddened eyes and saw Zoravec staring at her.
Hecate saw him with a dumbfounded expression as she had no clue what to do ahead. She simply saw him ascending the staircase and watched her son's back till he turned around the corner. Hecate had no other choice but to let him go.
