Chapter 104 (2/2)

After wrestling with his own mind, Hao Ren decided to report to Raven 12345. But, just as he was about to yank the MDT out of his pocket, the two werewolves suddenly moaned in pain. They had started to come back online.

“That’s why I hate such tough guys,” Vivian sounded her disgust. “Look, just five minutes earlier they were half-dead but now, even the wounds on this little one are starting to heal…”

Vivian was right. Werewolves have nine lives, sort of. Casar Ebben and the little one were on their way to meet their maker. However, within the time they were being carried out from the warehouse to the open space outside, they had recovered with such spectacular speed. You could actually observe with your naked eye the healing process itself. Given a few more minutes, they would be alive and kicking again, literally.

“You guys…” Casar Ebben was the first to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he jumped to his feet and stared in shock at Lily who stood together with Vivian. “Why are you with the vampire?”

“I want to go home,” Lily said matter-of-factly. “We’ve been living together.”

“She isn’t mentally retarded.” Now the scrawny and little werewolf got up. He knew resistance was futile at that point so, he thought it better to be pragmatic and sit on the ground. “She must be under the vampire’s control and is unable to get out of it.”

“I think your imagination is a little over the top.” Hao Ren felt that he now had a deeper understanding of the werewolf’s simple-minded nature. Though, he could neither cry nor laugh about it. “In fact, we’re more or less having some sort of misunderstanding here…”

Hao Ren took the opportunity to explain about Lily’s unusual background to them but, he did not tell them about the werehusky story considering their level of EQ. What he told them was sufficient considering that ‘vampire-werewolf love’ was already too much for the two pure-blood werewolves to handle.

“That’s how things are. Lily won’t follow you guys home.” Hao Ren spread his hands as he finished. “What you guys did was actually kidnapping. So, you deserved the beating…”

“They can live with each other?” Casar Ebben looked at Lily and Vivian sarcastically. “Do you really think I’m going to believe that?”

It was no surprise that the pure-blood werewolves refused to believe in this ridiculous thing. The strange happenings in Hao Ren’s house were not something that could be explained away in a few sentences. It would have probably taken a few rounds of mental breakdown and reconstruction to come to grips with the bizarre vampire x werewolf thingy.

“The two maidens have no equal.” Hao Ren sighed and stared into Casar Ebben’s eyes. “Look into my sincere, little eyes… Arrgh, forget it, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. I don’t want anymore trouble and you may have taken Lily because of some misunderstanding but we’ll let bygones be bygones. If Lily and Vivian agree, I’ll let you guys go.”

Of course, Lily did not have any objection. She was a dumbbell after all. As for Vivian, although she was a little displeased, she too did not raise any objection.

The two werewolves looked at each other before saying spontaneously, “Are we the ones at fault now?”

“Of course you are. You kidnapped my… my tenant. Wasn’t that your fault?”

The little werewolf was almost tearful. “Yes, I admit that the way we did things were a little rough but, we didn’t do anything untoward to this young girl. We even bought food for her—I don’t know how she was raised but her appetite is surely a lot bigger than Casar’s and mine combined. We had to run all the way to the city just to buy four packs of lunch for her and in the end, we even had to turn over ours. Also, she may have a screw loose—she kept demanding to go home with the vampire and we thought we bumped into some mentally retarded junior. It took us the whole morning just to figure out whether we should forget about her, as we would be the laughing stock once we bring her back to the pack. That’s not all, she even demanded to watch movies, listen to music, play games; she started nagging us when her phone ran out of juice; she even demanded for Pushkin poems during her afternoon nap. She went nuts when we didn’t give in. If not for the f*cking fact that she also has a pair of wolf ears, we might have concluded that she’s an entirely new line of species. Tell me, what sin have Casar and I committed? After taking in this nagging and hungry brat here, we had actually planned to send her back for good; while we were at it, you guys showed up and the next thing we knew, we were beaten black and blue… What wrong have we done?”

Hao Ren was at a lost for words.
