Chapter 36 Motherly Instinct
"Oh yeah, right."
Zoravec faked a cough and released her while looking away. On the other hand Devi was sweetly looking at him with a mischievous grin lingering. She innocently looked at him while Zoravec reached for her hand and the demoness acted coy due to the gesture. Devi did not want him to figure out that she actually felt some strange emotions for him.
It was hard for her to believe and accept the discomfort which she experienced in her chest. Never in the history of her kind somebody had felt care or something similar to that before. Or perhaps it was kept hidden because of being a taboo? Nonetheless, the demoness was trying not to let her evident emotions surface on her face.
"Come with me."
He dragged her downstairs to confront his mother since she was the one to call the cops. It was not a question who did it because there was nobody else in the house. Zoravec knew his mother disliked Devi and was acting strange around her but he was unaware of the reason.
They both exited the room and passed the corridor as they headed downstairs. Zoravec' grip around her hand was strong as if he was indicating that she belonged to him. Devi was indeed his now, and no doubt Zoravec felt the unexplainable carnal desire whenever he touched her. But the reason was still unknown.
"Mom!"

Zoravec raised his voice a bit while looking around, he did not want to appear as an ungrateful brat. It scared him that Hecate might 'blame' his actions on Devi, since her son's behaviour changed right after he got a girlfriend. However, Hecate was nowhere to be seen in the main hall.
He headed towards the small lounge on the left knowing she would be there. Devi on the other hand was practically being dragged by him. Zoravec brought her along to rectify and clear the misunderstandings between Devi and his mother. He did not want the demoness to get hurt but the seemingly care had a personal benefit to begin with.
"Mom, where are you? I need to talk to you!"
Zoravec barged inside the lounge without caring for anything and saw Hecate wandering around. The old woman immediately turned to see him, there was an utter worry over her face regarding her son's safety.
However the certain emotion increased when she saw Devi right behind Zoravec. Hecate had no clue how the demoness even survived. The special squad should have killed her, it was their job. They were responsible to eradicate such a threat but why did they fail? Or was Devi stronger than the vampires or dhampirs?
Yes, there were humans who volunteered to be the employees of the vampires. They were the ordinary humans who were transformed into a mixed breed by the vampires. All it required was a bite for the venom to spread, as you must have seen in the movies. Now you will ask me what is the difference between them and Zoravec?
Well the put it in easy and simple words, the dhampirs were of the weakest kinds of vampires. Since they were mixed bloods and mutated vampires it made them appear a bit stronger than humans. Dhampirs could perform certain feats which lifted their status a bit above humans.
Considering the certain theory Zoravec was neither a full vampire nor a dhampir because his powers were something else. He could contact and communicate with Devi which itself was a powerful trait to possess. It left the question regarding his identity now. What or who exactly was Zoravec?
Only his mother was able to know this truth but perhaps Hecate was not willing to shed light over this matter. Her worry mainly revolved around this particular issue regarding her son's identity and origin. It made sense why she panicked upon Devi' arrival and the way she acted around him.
"Zoravec….hah…Zoravec."
Hecate leaped towards him and grabbed Zorvaec by his arm, she pulled him to create distance between him and Devi. Zoravec was not surprised the way his mother acted since it made clear she was the one who called the cops.
However he could see worry creased over her face, there was horror in Hecate' eyes for some reason. The old woman stared at the demoness in fright even though Devi had not done any such thing to her. It left a huge question mark that why was she vary of Devi and how did Hecate even sense her true self.
"Come here, come here…I dont' want you to get hurt."
Her words came out in stuttering due to the fight which was evident on her face. She pulled Zoravec and stood in front of him as if she was trying to shield him. Meanwhile Devi simply stood there with her arms folded as she looked at the mother-son duo.
She had no clue either how Hecate was able to sense her presence. But one thing was clear; she wanted to protect Zoravec at every cost which explained her reaction. However she waited for Zoravec to proceed with all of this stuff because she was not in a position to demand an explanation.
"Mom…why are you reacting like this? Calm…calm down please."
Zoravec tried to calm his mother as he held her shaking body by shoulders. Hecate was not going to back off from her stance of protecting Zoravec. She continuously pushed him back while warning Devi not to come closer.
"You…don't you come closer to him. I am warning you….leave my son alone."
Devi did not move from her place but she too felt that something was indeed wrong with Hecate. She was unnecessarily worrying about the safety of her son even though hse had acknowledged by now Devi was not going to hurt him.
It irked the demoness that why Hecate was not worrying about herself rather was concerned about him. Devi found it an unnatural reaction which clarified that Hecate was protecting Zoravec as her duty. Something which was half motherly instinct and half dutiful nature.
