Amidst the intensive popping sounds, the mud covering the surface of Benjamin's truck was being washed away, revealing the vertical and horizontal scratches hidden inside. Did I mention that this is an old truck, and these scratches are the product of its 'friendship' with Alpha's wolf body.
Because Alpha's wolf body has an unwilling heart to live with a vampire, every time the truck is parked within its reach, it will try to destroy the truck that will eventually bring Benjamin back to Grande. Home's 'tin can'.
Perhaps thanks to the past war, Hermann's automobile industry also produced military armored jeeps for a period of time during the war. Therefore, this locally produced truck in Patton City also retains the characteristics brought about by the 'security' pursued during the war, which has allowed it to survive to this day.
Matthew hunched over and got into the car door, impatiently pulled on the seat belt and tied it in front of him. The only car the young man knew how to drive was his bicycle, so he looked to one side uneasily, waiting for his Alpha.
Benjamin's hair was completely wet. In the short distance from the back porch to the truck, the heavy rain was enough to soak his whole body.
But Benjamin frowned, looking back at the vampire still standing on the back porch before getting in the car. Benjamin finally couldn't help it anymore, "Stop looking at me! Your eyes make me very uncomfortable!"
Zach didn't change his mind, his eyes became even more resentful, "I'm just a little sad, you don't need me anymore."
Benjamin tugged at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what was going on with Zach these past two days. He could always spot Zach secretly looking at him from the corner of his eyes. Attention, it’s time! Benjamin once wanted to stop using Sibella's spices to scare away the vampires, but Alpha felt that this was too childish and too risky.
The vampires were trying to make up for the losses from Monday's battle. Making plenty of additions, Benjamin couldn't contain his confidence.
Zach would say this resentfully, because when the two werewolves were about to set off to the woods on the border of Barton, Benjamin mentioned, "'My' attention will no longer be on tearing up clothes and vehicles, not tomorrow." You went to deliver clothes."
Then. The gaze that was already giving Benjamin goosebumps all over his body turned into what he was now, full of resentment.
Benjamin waved his hand helplessly, "It's up to you! I'll park the car at the same spot!"
Zach's resentment eased a little, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he waved, "See you in the morning then!"
Benjamin pursed his lips, maybe because of the coolness of the rain, or maybe because he realized that he was naked after every full moon, and he shivered inexplicably again. God knows. Why is Zach so clingy all of a sudden
Benjamin put his boring guesses behind him, got in the car and glanced at Matthew, whose legs kept shaking on the seat, "Breathe, don't be nervous, this is not the first time."
Matthew adjusted his breathing and said, "Yeah." But his uneasiness did not subside.
Although he didn't want to refute Alpha's words, "This. This is indeed the first time." He scratched his wet head uneasily, "The last time. I don't remember anything at all. In the afternoon, I was killed by the guy you were talking about. Pa fainted at midnight and was taken away..."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly and started the truck.
Zach watched the delivery car turn out of the Grand House, and flexed his hand to tug on his collar. The expression on his face changed from a deliberately sad one to one of discomfort and irritation.
Of course, the vampire is not really trying to resist the werewolf. In fact, he is just deliberately 'competing' for Benjamin's attention. Childish is Zach. He sees this as a way to prevent boring daily routines from fueling negative emotions. In fact, Zach has decided to adjust to Alpha's changes on his own. After all, Benjamin is still Benjamin.
But there is something really annoying about vampires, which is the vampire's rotten 'appendix'. This thing is of no use to vampires. After being touched by the cherubim's fire, it was buried in a place where Zach's body could not touch, and there was a faint sting all the time.
This is not a pain that can be eliminated by supplementing food. All the vampire's special abilities are in his vagina. Once the soul becomes willful, Zach has nothing to do.
"Does it still hurt?" Alice's voice came from behind. She hugged her shoulders. The sudden cooling caused by the rainstorm obviously made this girl who was still human in nature a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and looked down, as if looking at the toes of her shoes, "Or, maybe, I can help."
Even if you can't see her eyes, you can still feel the wandering in Alice's eyes. "Sibella's notes should contain spells that can stabilize the soul..." Alice's voice became more and more intense in the last few words of her words. It got smaller and smaller, and finally there was no sound at all.
Another thing that annoyed Zach.
Zach smiled and patted Alice on the shoulder, "It's okay, it will subside after a while."
Zach has said this many times in the past two days, because Alice has cared about him many times. Only this time, she actually offered a way to help. The vampire didn't know whether this process was good or bad, but he didn't want to be the reason for the banshee to go to the black witch, so he refused.
It’s because I don’t want to take responsibility. Selfish? Well, here is a more positive narrative: Alice should decide her own destiny.
Alice raised her head and looked at Zach with her deep eyes. She pursed her lips and nodded. The advertisement in the middle of Cook's kitchen should be over, and Alice would continue her 'date'.
Everything was trembling slightly from side to side on the normal trajectory. Zach looked up at the gray, unreal sky. The sun should still be somewhere in the west, but people can't see this sunset. There was only a frizzy gray color in his eyes that was stirred up by the rapid raindrops, just like Zach's current mood.
Usually, when a vampire is in a gray mood, he runs to Benjamin. But first, there's an obvious conflict here, and to go after Benjamin now is to court death. So, Zach's only choice was to find something to distract him, or find another friend to distract him.
However, there is a little problem here.
The distraction—Louise isn't here. Because Matthew was worried about his father's old injury, because it was going to rain, the young man knew that his father would be lying in bed suffering from pain. So Louise was very considerate and went to visit with the things Alice prepared. She also lied about how busy the Grand House was these days and how great it was to have Matthew here.
So Zach sighed at the frizzy gray sky and turned to go indoors. He looked at Jin, whose eyes were far apart. He nodded to Danny, who was staring at the rain in a daze, and entered the office.
Although Zach knows that Anthony is very busy, but now, he needs a friend.
The voice coming from the receiver was very urgent, "Speak."
Zach could hear the scraping of clothing and he raised an eyebrow. He looked at the time and said with a teasing tone, "Is this already a regular program after the mayor's work is over?"
"What are you talking about?" Anthony's tone was confused. After a brief period of confusion, Anthony's somewhat frustrated voice came, "What are you thinking about! I'm just changing clothes!"
Zach listened carefully and did not hear the rapid female breathing. "Sorry, I misunderstood." Zach smiled. "Are you changing your clothes? Do you have any entertainment today?"
Anthony's tone immediately became irritable, "Yeah." However, the mayor naturally did not want to explain his work obligations to the citizens, "Are you okay?"
"No." Zach raised his eyebrows and shook his head in the office where he was the only one. "You know, it's the same as before." He stared at his fingers, not knowing what he was looking at, and opened and closed his lips. With. "The moon is full, it's a bit boring."
Anthony chuckled on the other side of the receiver. He seemed to be saying to himself, "In the past, it was the old times."
Both sides were silent for a moment, and Anthony on the other side of the receiver seemed to sigh, "Then wish me luck, Zach. If I mess up today's dinner, the old times will come back in a year."
Zach withdrew his dazed gaze and frowned, "Is today's dinner important?"
"Very important."
Do you still remember what the mayor said to the vampire in the office on a full moon night in early spring? 'I won't always be mayor! 'Anthony, after all, lives in a political world. (Volume 1, Chapter 2)
"Then I wish everything goes well." Zach smiled. "You know, even if things don't go well, you always have a backup plan."
'Plan B', the mayor's friends - the creatures under the Grand's roof.
There was a soft hum from the receiver. This is why Anthony makes people feel safe.
Anthony's impatient voice then came out, "If you are really bored, why don't you go find Lance? I know your little episode on Monday, which is impressive. This is potential! You should be more attentive."
Zach slid his fingers in front of the smooth tabletop, tilted his head slightly, smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Thanks for the reminder."
Anthony snorted impatiently again, "No more talking, I'm leaving."
"Yeah. Still, protect yourself." Zach reminded him at the end of every conversation with Anthony. Living in a world like this, it’s never too much.
"You too." The words coming from the receiver were obviously ridiculing.
Zach hung up the phone helplessly. There were not many opportunities for Anthony to say this. But a lot of unusual things seem to be happening this year. The weak human mayor finally had the opportunity to send these words back to the vampire.
The receiver that had just been put down was immediately picked up, and Zach's fingers slid across the dial. It was James Lance's home phone number.
The repetitive mechanical beeping in the receiver continued. Zach was about to start to mourn another unfortunate incident in Barton City, and then when he left a message, the phone was picked up.
"Hello!" The male voice in the receiver seemed very happy, "This is James Lance's home, he... Stop! Stop! Hahaha... Ah, sorry..."
The other side seemed to be playing around, and why did this voice sound familiar
"Sorry! He just went out to buy something. Do you want to leave a message?"
"Who are you?"
"Ah! I'm his friend!" The other party seemed particularly excited when he said this! "Fitz! You can call me Fitz! Everyone calls me Fitz! Haha! So, who are you?"
Zach blinked, "Zach." (...)
