Chapter 162 - Something Doesn't Feel Right
It was certainly not Zezi because she had never been pregnant and never gave birth to any child. (In fact, she had a hidden belief that it was something that she might just be incapable of doing).
Who was Mira's mother? Had the placement of her at the border of the Capital been intentional? Also, Mira had been found as a baby while George was in the pack, married to Zezi, about six years ago. A year prior that, George had not stepped out of the Capital.
So how did this happen?
The mother had some explaining to do.
That led to the main question once again.
Who was Mira's mother?
George couldn't stop looking at his daughter and sighing.
It was just simply impossible.
There was no way he had come together with a vampire, a monster he hated with everything, and had a child with her.
Just the thought repulsed him; Yet, it had happened.
His Mira was an evidence of it.
He loved her too much to hate her just because of what she was but he hated himself for participating in the betrayal he had accused Zezi of.
Laying with a monster.
When had this happened?
When he was oblivious? Had he been r.aped at a point and he didn't know?
What kind of complications was this?
He felt disgusted with himself at the moment, like something had been stolen from him that he would never be able to get back ever again.
"Moon goddess, let this be a dream."
Zezi had pinched him, "It is not."
"When did you come in?"
"We need to talk." Then she turned to their daughter. "Mira, Mummy, and Daddy need to talk now, we will be back soon. Gwen will be here with you soon."
"Gwen!" She had clapped with happiness.
Of course, the Gwen fever had gotten to her too.
Zezi couldn't even blame her.
Gwen was so lovable, and when Mira had asked why she was drinking blood now, Gwen had made her believe it was because she was now a big pup.
Great.
Mira had been very excited about that. She was happy that she no longer felt as sick as she used to anymore too.
She was really happy and Gwen was teaching her how to handle her powers well, along with Lady Delice.
Seeing that Mira didn't hate herself was one thing that was happening right now.
Gwen had said that if she got better as soon as possible, she would introduce her to her bats who were dying to see her.
Zezi was happy with that, it would help Mira to meet children who were more like her.
There was plenty to be grateful to Lady Delice for too, besides her spending a lot of time with Mira and helping out.
In the past Zezi wouldn't ever expect herself to think this but it was a blessing to have both vampires around her.
"I have only ever been with you." He had said the moment Zezi shut the door behind them. "I am faithful, loyal."
Zezi knew he wasn't lying but he was Mira's father, so...
"You can't keep saying that."
"Well, I don't remember ever being with anyone else!" Frustration bit the edges of his voice and he threw his hands up in the air. "I didn't. I can never lay with a vampire, you know how much I hate those Bloodsuckers! They are monsters. No offense to you, or take offense, I don't care. They are monsters, I would never."
"Well, she didn't fall out of the sky, did she?"
"It feels like she did with the way we found her." A corner of his lips arched with a smile despite the situation.
"You are her father. Nicholas can be annoying but he would never lie about something like this."
"You seem to be jolly with more and more bloodsuckers." George folded his arms across him, his anger hard to hide.
"They are good and this one saved our daughter's life." Zezi was getting annoyed too.
Great.
It was annoying that he was always attacking her with something she already felt guilty over. It wasn't just his family that died, hers did too; he seemed to always forget that she had been there when it all happened.
It was funny that despite his hatred, he had been with a vampire before her experience with Valerick, and had a child.
How ironic.
"Fine. I agree on that one."
Silence for a second.
Two.
"So, do you remember anyone?"
"I---" he paused to think. "I really don't."
"What about the night we met the witch? We stopped at a bar. You told me you met someone and you almost talked my ears off about losing your virginity to her." She had thought it was a joke back then, but now it might not just be. "You remember, right?"
"I don't--- wait, I think I do. I am not so sure. They were all wearing masks and -- it is very blurry. All I remember that night is that they gave me a mask I didn't like." He sighed, holding his head because it ached. "I need a drink, this is too much for me."
Before he could reach the door, she held his wrist, stopping him.
"If you had met someone that night, do you think that could have been Mira's mother?"
George's brown eyes sparked with the thought, before vengeance filled them and his anger returned.
"I would never lay with a bloodsucker." He snapped his hand away from her grip.
"But what if you had been so drunk that you didn't even know?"
Despite his anger, George tried to think straight.
"Then Mira would have been found by our border, probably three years old or thereabouts, not a baby. We found her in a basket, she hadn't even grown her first set of teeth. She was a baby." He sighed again. "Do you know where the bar is in this castle?"
"No."
"Well, time for me to go on an adventure that I, at least, can understand because I don't understand this."
