"Ha?" Ain focused his gaze, chuckling when he realized that the shadow was the refraction of tree light by strong gusts of wind, not what he thought.
Pletak.
"You're fucking annoying." Arzan stomped her feet, filling her shoes with snow, not satisfied with just hitting Ain on the head.
Wizard chuckled ran over to the werewolf, placing her in his arms, chuckling when startled wolf let out a small cry. He carried it bridal style. "Bastards!" Arzan reflexively put her hands around Ain's neck.
"That's a unique way of saying thank you." Ain focused on the front. "Hold on tight."
After that, only the soles of the feet are visible.

"Zannie." Ades approached Arzan while smiling faintly, she rubbed Arzan's head, her smile became wider while Arzan was uncomfortable.
"Why are you guys taking so long?"
Ades's hand lowered and she smiled gracefully which would fascinate people.
"There was a small storm so we stopped to warm up the body," Ain answered Zenit's question casually, not reflecting his ambiguous words. Zenit took a deep breath. "Azza is in the guest bedroom, go to the green room. Look after him." Zenit spoke diplomatically. "Me and Ades will get food for us."
"Yes! You have to take good care of your mate, Zannie." Ades exclaimed enthusiastically, disrupting some of Arzan's stoic yet cold demeanor, she closed her eyes almost looking very annoyed.
"Okay thank you."
Arzan looked away, walked past Ades. Beside her, Ain followed like an obedient dog.
"Eh?"
Zenit and Ades looked at their paths to determine whether Ain was following Arzan.
"Wow, now Ain is also an obedient puppy," said Zenit carelessly.
Ades didn't blink. "Let's go." She left with a gloomy face, Zenit grinned playfully entertaining the idea that had transformed into wild thoughts in his brain. He chuckled, "One is cool and cold while the other is hungry for attention. Women of different species was interesting, I wonder who has the most influence."
Zenit followed Ades, rolling his eyes, his lips curved in a meaningful smile.

"Azza, your wound still hurts?" Entering the bedroom, Arzan asked softly, watching Azza look for the slightest damage.
"No," Azza shook his head. "You better be careful using your healing abilities. Vampire doctor was curious as to who treated me, he was amazed to see my wounds healed without leaving a scar."
When Arzan arrived, Azza leaned on the dashboard of a typical royal king-size bed. The luxury was the same as that of the Clober palace, the only difference was the design and color. Compared to Clober's palace, the vampire palace is brighter, full of striking colors.
Azza raised an eyebrow at Ain. "Are you still following Arzan? Who are you? Her bodyguard?"
At first, Azza wanted to call Ain a criminal dog or worse a puppy but thought better of it, regardless of whether Arzan was there or not, Azza wanted to get rid of the habit of speaking rudely to other people.
"You could say that. From now on wherever Arzan goes I will be by her side."
Azza glared at Ain but sighed in the end, he still spoke nicely. "I don't agree, as Arzan's mate I won't allow that." Azza shifted his focus to Arzan, staring at her intensely as if stripping her. His already sharp eagle eyes became even sharper.
Arzan approached Azza, sat beside him then curled up in his lap, careful not to put her heavy burden on Azza's body considering that he might still be sick.
Arzan leaned her head on Azza's shoulder. "Mark Ain burnt, we are close but this does not lead to an intimate relationship, he and I are just together."
"I wonder why you don't get sick being close to him. So far I've tried not to think about this and now I can't anymore."
Arzan flinched and Ain tilted his head, he wasn't interested in the truth but Azza's words were interesting to explore. Ain is curious!
Arzan moved her head away which ended up being held by Azza, holding it possessively to maintain his gaze into soft green eyes.
"Could there be a case one werewolf has two mates?" said Azza, placing his index finger on his chin, his head tilted to the left and looking up.
"That happens very rarely," commented Azza. Looked sharply at Ain, but he only responded with a shrug. "Who knows, Arzan said my pheromones are good."
Azza tightened his embrace. "That's true, Arzan?" Arzan's head was stroked gently. In Azza's arms, Arzan nodded, not wanting to hide anything.
Azza closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Tonight can you sleep with me?"
Arzan looked up to meet Azza's eagle eyes, in the background Ain whistled seductively.
"I don't know, I'm not used to it."
"Just sleep, I won't do anything without your approval." Azza looked seriously at Bambi's eyes, leading her only focused on him.
In the middle of the room, Ain was already sitting on one of the chairs, tired of standing. "Just sleep Ain, I'll watch over you."
"What the hell are you, Ain? Just me and Arzan, this is privacy or I'll kick your dick."
Ain grimaced, already can he felt the pain in his groin, his hand reflexively grabbed his dick. "You're cruel!" He whined.
"Stop being a parasite!"
"Whatever you say, but I will continue to follow Arzan."
"Damn you, just die!"
"Let's fight." Ain raised two fists in the air.
"Ha ha ha."
Ain and Azza's small fight stopped, both of them stared intently giving off a dark black aura.
"Arzan this isn't-"
"Ha ha ha." Ain then chuckled and Azza didn't finish his words.
"I sleep alone, thank you and sorry, I want privacy." Arzan smiled wide enough to attract admiration the another person.
Azza snorted, looking intensely with concern. He spoke softly. "I want you to get used to it Arzan, I don't like you being close to Ain." He looked back intently. "I'm not firm enough so I have to make our position clear."
"You're pressing me?" Arzan looked straight asking for clarification, her face was sad.
Azza groaned and Ain laughed. "Sorry bro, Arzan doesn't hurt when she's close to me, so I'll take advantage of it. Now you have tough competition." Ain's voice was low but ended in laughter. Azza sped off and Arzan couldn't stop him even though their position was close by, he grabbed Wizard by the collar and stretched the mark on his neck.
Blood comes out.
"Azza!"
Arzan separated the two of them, pulling Azza away from Ain. Eyes glaring as blood seeped out.
From the door appeared Alaric, his pupil's blood red, fangs sticking out, and saliva dripping out.
Ain ran in panic to hide behind Azza and Arzan. Lowering his head hides his presence from the vampire.
"He's as delicious as I thought," said Alaric before dashing towards Ain, before this happened Azza hitting Alaric right into the vampire's face.
"Ah. Damn it!" Alaric was about to avenge but thought better of it, he was more interested in seeing the scene in front of him. Arzan tore the clothes inside the thick coat she was wearing to wipe the blood from Ain's wound.
"Huh, werewolf, you ruined my dreams." Alaric scowled irritably at Arzan without expression.
"Enough, get out," said Azza, shooing Alaric away, his hand pointing at the door.
He moved away, positioning himself at a safe distance, his lips curled unpleasantly.
"Werewolf, may I see your body?" His doe eyes narrowed and he smiled seductively.
