Taking a bath should be relaxing in every sense of the word. But Zach, a vampire seeking attention in his own home, not only did not feel relaxed, but his original strong desire to share was mostly dispelled.
The vampire wrapped himself in a soft bath towel, rubbed his wet hair calmly, and walked out of the bathroom expressionlessly. After hesitating for a moment in front of Alice's door, he decided to ask Benjamin, who had been at home, before making any plans.
Carrying a wine bottle casually, Zach walked towards Benjamin, who was still swinging in the hammock. This Alpha seemed lazier than usual. Under the moonlight, his brown eyes stared blankly at the building in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zach's good mood was gone. This was because Danny, the phantom man, was not only assigned an identity inexplicably, but also the fee that Zach asked Danny to bring to Steve to pay for the identity transaction was also stolen by the phantom man. Bring it back intact. Apparently the 'insider' - Steve, thought this was a huge favor.
But can you blame him? The identity of Alice Grande, the sister of the Grande House, did not appear out of thin air with the 'little help' of Charming Eyes and Anthony like Zach and Benjamin, but a completely legitimate true identity. . In Alice's personal file, the name listed in the column is Alice Firefly. Steve's transaction was more like a handover, and it also eliminated the cost of identity custody.
Zach didn't mind that he had sent a favor inexplicably, but what he minded was that he had made a mistake. Danny should not be allowed to go to an identity trading place established by the Indians. Who knows if this Indian’s identity will cause any trouble in the future.
Now Zach hopes that the Windstorms are still in Barton City, at least when possible trouble comes. The one standing in the front should be the 'gusty wind' who abandoned Alice, not the Grand House, which is full of flaws due to its strange structure.
Benjamin heard Zach approaching. The stunned gaze shifted and looked at Zach's indifferent expression. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Alice is normal."
The alpha had apparently taken advantage of his heightened senses and heard the conversation in the bathroom. Zach raised his eyebrows. Alpha's hearing seemed to be sharper than before. Don't forget that this was only the first day.
Zach shook his head, knowing that even if Benjamin was told to stop using the weird spice, Benjamin wouldn't listen. Let's just stop talking about it, after all, the biggest beneficiary is the vampire himself.
Zach waved. Put this behind you for now. He frowned, thinking about his words. The desire to share that he was going to detail today's itinerary was no longer there. The vampire planned to pack everything up and streamline it, "The cherubim no longer exist. Crowley led the cherubim to the West End. It turns out In the tomb area, she used Seth's weapon at the end to deliver the final blow. The cherubim said something..."
Benjamin nodded in understanding. He didn't seem to be very interested, and his eyes had drifted away. Focusing on the Grand House behind Zach.
Zach still wanted to keep closing his mouth, but the frown in thought was converted into another emotion, and a bad thought emerged in his mind. The vampire turned around and followed Benjamin's gaze. Matthew hid in a room on the second floor. The dim light casts the figure sitting at the table on the window.
Alpha's attention was no longer on the vampire, but on his wolf pup.
Zach turned back. The furrowed brows were filled with the emotion of considering the choice of words again. His eyes moved back and forth on Benjamin, "At the last moment. What did the cherubim say to Crowley." The vampire's eyes stopped in Benjamin's eyes that were not focused on him, Zach was observing. "But I was so weak by then that I didn't hear what he said."
The vampire lied.
"It would be great if you were here, you can definitely hear it." Zach's eyes were fixed on Benjamin.
Benjamin seemed completely uninterested. His thick arms supported the edge of the hammock and he sat up. His eyes never returned to Zach. Instead, he got up and walked towards the Grand House. "It doesn't matter, the cherubim no longer exist." , it has nothing to do with us." Benjamin didn't seem to be very patient, and added, "Anyway, I said it to Crowley, she just needs to hear it clearly."
Zach looked at Benjamin's back, a bad feeling growing.
Why? Because just two months ago, Benjamin was angry that Zach was acting alone, complaining that he didn't feel involved. But now, Benjamin doesn't care about participation at all.
Thinking back on this time, Zach always seemed to have to do the 'telling' thing. And now, Benjamin seems to have lost interest in 'listening'.
Benjamin's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at the vampire as if he thought of something. Benjamin raised his eyebrows, not noticing Zach's psychological changes at all. He waved his hands in confusion, a little surprised, "Is this what you want to say? Don't you have any other strange feelings to share?"
The growth was cut in half, but Benjamin still cared about Zach.
Zach curled his lips and said, "I discovered James' love life." It was just that half of it was cut off, but the roots are still there. In fact, this root has been planted since Matthew appeared, but it has sprouted now.
Benjamin tugged at the corner of his mouth and shook his head with half contempt and half hint, "You have to be careful, don't let him think you are trying to control him."
Zach's smile became more obvious, and Benjamin was still the guy who represented the yardstick of humanity in the Grand House. Zach waved his hand, "In fact, this situation has already happened. However, I believe I have solved it perfectly."
Benjamin shrugged, lost interest again, turned and walked towards the Grand House.
The smile on Zach's face disappeared. Benjamin didn't care about the 'perfect solution' process that Zach specially emphasized, and pulled out another branch.
Zach closed his eyes and put away all expressions, shook his head to get rid of all emotions, stood up, and followed behind Benjamin. He refused and did not want this sentiment to continue to grow.
After entering the room, the two went to the second floor, and Benjamin entered Matthew's room as expected. Zach looked at the closed door with slanted eyes. He stood in front of Alice's room door, slowly adjusted his breathing, and pushed the door open.
"Alice." A smile appeared on Zach's face, "Are you okay?" The vampire closed the door.
"Yeah." Alice, who seemed to be in a daze on the bed, nodded, looked at Zach, and asked in a low voice, "Is your day going well?"
"It couldn't go any smoother." Zach smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Alice holding her shoulders, "I met Laura in the city library."
Alice opened her eyes, a little surprised, "I thought she didn't like reading."
Zach smiled and made a surprised expression, "I felt the same way at first." Zach looked at Alice's expression, and it seemed that she was no different as Benjamin said, and Zach felt relieved. , "Actually, she went with a friend. Do you remember Blake, whom you met on Lister Street on Saturday?"
Alice nodded and said oh.
"But when I found her, she also had a book and was reading it." There was a hint of cunning in Zach's eyes, "She seemed to not want me to see the content. Do you know what it was?"
Alice blinked and thought for a while. There was also a hint of cunning on her deep-profile face, and she looked at the wall of her room.
Zach nodded knowingly.
The two of them communicated silently for a while, their eyes shining with gossip. This game can't be played for too long. Zach patted Alice on the shoulder, got up and left.
Before opening the door, Zach turned to look at Alice, "Alice, if anything bothers you, you know that we are all by your side."
Alice smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." As if to prove what she said, Alice pushed her hair back from her forehead, looked at Zach with a smile, pointed to the photo on her desk, and raised her voice. , "I don't remember too many things from my childhood. The only impression I have of that family is the photos that Mr. and Mrs. Hayate gave me."
Zach smiled and nodded.
However, since when did the banshee of the Grand House begin to emphasize her own words instead of confirming others' words
Zach exited the room and closed the door. When the door lock clicked softly, the smile on the vampire's face disappeared again, and he walked silently down the corridor.
"Where are you going?" Louise asked, leaning against the open door and looking at Zach walking towards the stairs.
"Basement." Zach turned around, with a smile on his face again.
"Aren't you coming to the room?" Louise frowned in confusion.
Zach tilted his head, "I'm too tired today. I need a lot of rest and replenishment." Zach glanced at Matthew's room and made a helpless gesture.
Louise understood immediately and nodded. Zach didn't want to put too much burden on Matthew. Louise looked at Zach's inexplicably lonely face, and a woman's sixth sense was always so accurate. Louise thought for a while, "Do you need me to accompany you? You can tell me what interesting things happened today."
Zach smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm going to overeat, and the scene won't be pretty." The vampire narrowed his eyes ambiguously, and he learned Louise's method of diverting attention, "I still want to maintain The original image of a gentleman.”
Louise raised her eyebrows, and the chance encounter on the street in early spring three months ago seemed to come to mind again. She curved the corners of her mouth, narrowed her eyes ambiguously, and closed the door. Behind the door, this beautiful woman said, "Then I should act like a lady and not ruin the 'surprise' you gave me. .”
She knew Zach could hear it.
The vampire smiled and turned away, heading towards the basement.
This day finally had a beautiful ending. (..)
