Chapter 43 True Colors Of Devi

Zoravec was forced to think about her words once again, and he could not deny that whatever Hecate tried to reason out did make sense. However he did not say anything regarding the claim Hecate made. Zoravec was still in the process of making sure what was happening now.

It was too much for just one day, firstly his classmate died. Then a demoness appeared out of nowhere and he ended up marking her. Later on he came to know about his birth and origin, Zoravec had no idea what to leave and what to focus upon.

Whereas Devi seized the chance and mocked Hecate as she caught her words. How could she let her off the hook when the later one had already headed over her weakness to the demoness! Devi leaned on the sofa backwards with her one leg on the other as she spoke in a challenging tone.

"Duh! Why are you making it sound like your decision on not marrying again was influenced by him? You did not marry because you did not want to replace your husband. Stop throwing everything on Zoravec and make him feel guilty. Whatever you did was your own selfish decision, if you really cared for a child you would not have stolen him in the first place."

Hecate was not surprised this time by her words, she knew nothing good could be expected from her. The demoness was a potential threat to Zoravec, not to forget she had been constantly targeting Hecate. The old woman was noticing everything regarding how she was butting in and sprinkling oil over their heated conversation.

That was it for Hecate's patience, now she could not take it anymore. Devi was constantly testing her patience and taunting her. Hecate figured out that till the demoness was present there she could not settle the things with Zoravec. Thus, she burst out on Devi without caring for any consequences this time.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

"Will you stop being his lawyer? Why are you even talking, huh? Keep your nosy ass away from our matter, it is between me and him. Hah! I am sure he will start despising you when he comes to know about your truth."

She threw back the same kind of verbal trap at Devi after hearing her attacks.

Hecate grinned towards Devi, who was taken aback by the sudden switch of the tables. However Zoravec felt himself trapped between two women who appeared to be in a verbal war with each other. He had no other option than to hear them or to find some way to get away. Although the thought of shutting their mouths never crossed his mind.

"I know you are not here for no reason. Do you take me for a fool, huh? You must have an ulterior motive to approach him, that was why I called the special squad."

She turned her head towards Zoravec, there was utter pleading on Hecate' face. No doubt she cared for him and to protect Zoravec as a motherly figure she did such a thing.

Zoravec was astonished to hear her words which made him realise that he indeed was unaware of Devi's actual motives. How could he be so foolish to believe that she was there just to possess his body as a vessel! If that was the only thing then why Zoravec hadn't gotten rid of her in the first place?

Deep down he knew that she was a potential threat to him and Hecate was also able to sense that too. It gave him a whole new vision that Devi must have had some other ulterior motives to find him. He was stupid enough to mark her as a servant rather killing her. However Hecate's words said in rage caused a lot of distress in Zoravec upon the realisation.

Whereas Devi was not in a mood to cater to her bullshit, although the demoness knew that whatever Hecate said was not wrong. However she had to stop that old hag from speaking further or else Hecate will eventually sow the seed of suspicion in Zoravec's mind. Thus, she shot up from the sofa and shouted at the old lady with all her might.

? "Choose your next words wisely because you won't get a chance to take them back."

Devi snapped at her and during the yelling as the demoness was slowly coming into her true form. Her hands turned into sharp claws and Devi's voice immediately changed, it echoed like a ghastly being who was speaking from every wall and corner in the house.

Zoravec could sense her gradual transformation and the emotions were being shared by him too. He could acknowledge imminently that the certain feelings he experienced were coming from Devi. Zoravec did not say anything, actually he forgot about the blood bond between them completely. The sudden changes in Devi made him scared, not because he was afraid of her like before.

This time Zoravec did not want Hecate to get hurt, the particular notion horrified him that she might end up like those special squad members. And that was the last thing he would have wanted for Hecate, even though he had a lot of complaints against her and he could not forgive her. But he wished for her to live since she was a victim of the vampires' cruelty too.

He simply stared at Devi changing into her beastly form, the hair color of the demoness turned to original. While Devi's eyes started to shine, she was genuinely angry upon Hecate and it made the demoness unintentionally transform. Zoravec on the other hand could not utter anything although the certain sight raced his heartbeat because of the possible outcome.

"Hah! See now she is showing her true colors after being targeted. Are you seeing this Zoravec?"

Hecate was surprisingly calm as if she did not care for her own life. Instead she reached for Zoravec's arm and shook him to grab his attention. There was a proud smirk over her face when she insisted on to see Devi's true face.
