"Because I did not fucking know much on the vampires. My husband was a scientist and a warrior, he had a vast knowledge about this matter."

Hecate tried to sound convincing although whatever she said was true. She indeed lacked knowledge regarding the topic, and now was not proud of it.

Hecate shook her head by placing her right hand over the forehead. She looked at Zoravec with the soft expression, it was not pleading one anymore. Maybe she was tired of explaining herself every now and then, after all she was an ordinary human who happened to be a motherly figure to Zoravec.

"I did not even know what he was experimenting upon until the government launched that project. Since he was the one who created the venom which could temporarily transform humans into dhampirs, he was sent with the squadron to keep the consequences of the poison in check."

She knew everything which happened there and Devi\'s claim was also not baseless. If Hecate accompanied her husband to the vampire realm as dhampirs, then she was able to distinguish and sense the superior aura of the nobles. Yes, they could potentially sense each other\'s presence in the atmosphere over a miles radius.

Hecate resumed to provide the proof of her innocence while Devi still suspected that she had been lying about it. How was it possible for her not to sense Zoravec\'s aura while she had remnants of the artificial prowess in her body? Or was she lying about everything in order to save herself and prove Devi wrong?

"I know you don\'t believe me but that is the truth. I accompanied my husband just because I loved him so much. Haa! I wished to die there but unfortunately due to this artificial blood it was impossible for the nobles to kill us. Well, of course till the effects wore off which happened gradually and rapidly after our attack."

Devi chuckled and licked her lower lip as if she had caught another lie of Hecate. The demoness settled herself once again in an imposing position by folding her arms. Zoravec wondered his eyes upon her sudden laugh, he was listening to Hecate carefully and intended to ask something. But before he could utter anything Devi took the chance and words from his mouth.

"Hah! Caught you! If the others from that squadron died because the effects wore off faster, then how are you still able to possess these powers?"

Zoravec immediately looked at Hecate, he was going to ask her the same thing. The idea crossed his mind too that perhaps Hecate was actually lying. But he wanted to hear the reply to that important question from Hecate.

However that old woman averted her gaze and covered her mouth with a fist, it appeared Hecate knew the answer but she was not proud of it. Devi could see the faint blush which tainted her cheeks, Hecate seemed embarrassed about it. The old woman appeared to be hesitant about the matter while Zoravec impatiently waited for her response.

"What? Why are you acting like this, uh?"

Devi provoked her as she got curious regarding what could be the possible reply. Zoravec appeared to be confused as to why his mother acted that way. He was unable to comprehend what could be the reply which made her….shy!

"Well…."

Hecate could not speak immediately afterwards she initiated. It was clear that she had issues in speaking up openly which made Zoravec gulp his fears. Maybe he somehow could guess what Hecate was trying to imply and that was his worst fear of all.

The demoness on the other hand was unable to grasp anything. She reflexively glanced at Zoravec who immediately plopped on the table while covering his mouth. A horrified expression appeared in his eyes but he hoped his hunch was not true. That\'s why he did not voice out anything and waited for Hecate to spill the beans.

The old woman closed her eyes and hesitated to say everything in one go. But somehow she knew it was not wise to hide from him or to pass the question. Hence she gathered her courage to say everything now. Hecate did not look at any of them while she continued, although the woman still covered her mouth to hide her embarrassment.

"Well, it is because…I tried to breastfeed him like any other human child. I assumed Zoravec was able to drink milk since he was half human too. So…. in the process he…um…he bit me."

Hecate paused and kept her head lowered to hide her flushed face. She did not want Zoravec to see her like that because the woman could still recall the biting moment as clear as the day.

A complete silence fell in the room as Devi took some moments to process the information. She did not know how the things and vampiric bonds worked, but considering the information Zoravec provided her earlier she grasped the truth. Her bodily language immediately changed as she sounded shocked and disappointed at the same time.

"You…you are bound to him. That is why his venom is still supporting your powers obtained from artificial blood."

Devi had no idea how to react to that since the whole notion meant that Hecate was also bound to Zoravec like her. The demoness felt that she was special to him that was why he marked her, but it turned out that she was not alone.

Although Zoravec had no clue about it, obviously he was a child back then when it happened. But biting hecate and drinking her blood was an intimate kind of gesture which bound them both. Now it was revealed that Devi and Hecate both were his blood slaves.

However, since he did not have sex or any similar sort of thing with Hecate it justified that she was not his mate. Or not yet. Who knows! Although as much as Devi felt awkward about it, Zoravec was equally stunned and embarrassed. His ears were red so as his face, he knew that now he could not look at Hecate the same way as before.
