Chapter 79 Taste Lyra’s Blood

Zoravec finally grasped his senses and looked into William's eyes while trying to find something. For some reason he could see a strange glint in his crimson eyes indicating he was thinking something evil. William's eyes flickered red indicating his dhampir status and emotional changing.

? 'What is he even doing? Huh? Bringing up girlfriend talk, is he mocking me for not having a mate?'

William could see his pupils dilating after giving some thoughts to his words. He could potentially comprehend that Zoravec had concluded something and his emotions changed a bit. William was an exceptional officer and sensing such slightest changes was a piece of cake for him. Zoravec was already under his radar and the cop was not going to let him off the hook that fast.

"Sir, with due respect, are you mocking me?"

Zoravec stated his mind by toning down his words and keeping it respectful. He knew that offending William would come with some severe consequences. He stared at William straight in his eyes while hoping to see any emotional change. Zoravec needed to ensure William's intentions for asking those useless questions.

William simply smiled at him as he brought his hand on the front and licked his finger. The cop could not afford to let the blood stain get lost. So, William attempted carefully to portray his actions as normal as he could. He practically licked that faint smeared blood and as soon as the taste hit his tongue, William immediately knew the particular blood was of Lyra.

Since he was notoriously known for his crazy ways of investigating and inspection. It was highly expected of him that he practically tested Lyra's blood by licking it when he was at her place. William's taste buds memorised that and right now licking the same blood type emphasised that same taste. He immediately recalled and concluded that both belonged to one same person, Lyra.

His eyes again glowed crimson as Zoravec wondered the cause of that unusual happening. Since eye color change was common among the dhampirs but glowing was only associated with class A and B ones. After he was done testing the blood, William replied to Zoravec in a calm tone. It was still unclear why he did not arrest him or even confronted Zoravec bluntly.

',

"I don't see any mock here. The only time two boys grab each other's collars, it usually involves a girl."

Zoravec was stunned to hear those words, he had no clue that William was thinking like that. Well, which of course was indeed a pretense and a diversion to stall Zoravec. His intentions were to approach the kid to figure out the cause and source of that strange smell.

However, Zoravec was taken aback by that confrontation for mainly two reasons. He did not want anyone to know that he met Simon or else Zoravec would become prime suspect afterwards. Secondly, he did not intend the fact to surface that Zoravec still had no mate. Both ways he was supposed to end up behind the bars. And Zoravec did not want his next year's of life to be that way.

"What!?"

Contrary to William's expectations, Zoravec did not show any panicking expressions. Rather there was an utter shock on his face upon the conclusion William drew from the situation. The cop was sure he had the right cards to ensure that Zoravec would eventually show his true self. However, nothing according to his expectations happened and William had to provoke him further.

"We were not fighting over a girl, sir. We are not even dating one same girl."

Zoravec immediately attempted to correct William as he presented his explanation to ensure that he had nothing to do with Simon. Although Zoravec tried to sound convincing as he kept his tone quite stern to make his reaction appear a bit more natural. Well, it was indeed natural.

"Haha, so you are seeing someone?"

William smiled acknowledging that Zoravec had finally fell into the trap of his words. He had taken the bait now had no other option but to truthfully reply to all questions. Zoravec grew irritated by his questions which were irrelevant to Lyra's case. Rather a prying session into his own personal life which he did not like. As much as Zoravec disliked it he was also aware of himself being bound to reply to William's inquiry.

'',

"Yes, yes sir. I have a girlfriend. A nice lady indeed."

Zoravec immediately thought of Devi considering that if William demanded to meet his girlfriend, he should be able to present a decent woman to prove his words. However, it mildly made Zoravec suspicious and surprised regarding why William was interested in his love life rather than asking about Simon.

"I see, it's a relief though. I heard it gets dirty when two guys end up liking the same girl."

William again insisted on staying on the same matter, as he wanted to extort more information about the girl he was talking about. It mainly indicated that maybe Zoravec was still having Lyra's image in his head while narrating the bullshit.

Because according to William Zoravec was just throwing random statements at him to stall and to get away from further useless interrogation. After all, there was no need of prying into Zoravec's love life but after tasting Lyra's blood over his school bag. The cop was assured that either Zoravec was cheating on his mate with Lyra or he was present on the spot, when was already killed by someone else and he fled in horror.

"Oh yes. Definitely sir, you are right."

Zoravec's brief answers were already an indication of his unwillingness to carry the interrogation further. However he could not bluntly refuse William that's why he tried to hint out his reluctance and irritation. On the other hand, William was not intending to leave the chat that very moment. He needed answers and keeping Zoravec 'trapped' and taking advantage of his obligation to reply was the clever move.

"What does she do? I mean your girlfriend, tell me about her. It's rare to see guys praising their girls like that."

William intentionally provoked Zoravec by using those words. He knew how to create the adrenaline rush and the itch in him so Zoravec would be forced to reply to him. Whereas, after hearing that Zoravec became confused about what to reply now.

He had no intentions of bringing up Devi's description which would in turn against Zoravec in no time. After all, she was a demoness and her charms were effective on every single person of the realm. Except Zoravec.

Trouble was incoming!
