'What the hell? Why is he so invested in knowing about my girlfriend? Is he spying on me? Or is he suspicious about Devi?'
Zoravec had multiple questions in his mind and all popped up in one go. That's what made Zoravec pause for a bit as he contemplated every possible reason it could be.
'No, no. How could it be? Devi 's aura is sealed and nobody can sense her. Hecate could do it because she had been bitten by me and possessed my energy.'
For some reason Zoravec could not bring himself to call Hecate by addressing her as mum. However, his hunch was correct regarding how she was able to sense Devi.
It made Zoravec comprehend a lot but he needed to generate some lie or some explanation to satisfy William. The cop was still waiting for him to say something so he could carry out the further conversation. William looked at Zoravec keenly and grasped how confused he was. But he patiently waited for him to speak first, after all he had no proof to arrest him yet.
It was highly possible that Lyra's blood came over his bag in any scenario, William could not simply put cuffs on him just because he had blood on his bag. What if he was not involved in her murder rather went to her home after she died. He waited for Zoravec to tell him about his girlfriend so he could confirm his cheating part.
'Come on, come on! Think of something, Zoravec. Someone who can possibly fit in the criteria of a girlfriend and is from this realm. It would be a hassle to teach Devi everything that fast.'
He was fully aware that William was not someone he could simply trick so easily. If he said any name to present as his girlfriend, there was high possibility William would pay a visit to them.
? Zoravec' pupils looked around in panic and hesitation, which did not go unnoticed by William. He could potentially see that Zoravec lied about having a girlfriend, or else he would have already taken a name. It made him amused how he was still thinking of another lie to satisfy William.
'
Nonetheless, right at that moment Zoravec thought of Kate. For some reason her face flashed in his head and he decided to take her name. She was the perfect candidate who was believable too and could handle William's questions. In case he paid a visit to her. Kate was an ordinary human and knew every possible common thing about it.
He could not get any most suitable candidate to present, thus Zoravec blurted out her name. It was still a lie because he met her twice in person, but he could not deny that it was probably not hard to convince her to pretend for a day or two. Zoravec knew she seemed interested in him and it would be easy for him to persuade to play farce.
"Kate. Her name is Kate, sir."
Zoravec immediately told William about her as she was somewhat interested in him. Since she was his neighbour it was not a hard task to approach Kate afterwards and convince her. William smiled at him and shoved both his hands in the pocket of his jeans. He stared at Zoravec with a meaningful lopsided grin as he waited for her to complete his statement.
"Kate, I see. And who is this Kate? Where did you guys meet?"
William threw another question at him which visibly made Zoravec agitated. However as much as he wanted to refute and question back William voicing out his irritation. He simply could not do it because William was capable of hurting him to a potential extent.
'What the heck? He is still persistent. Should I ask him to stop?'
Zoravec knew he could not ask William to stop, instead he had to request him. He was required to ensure that he would not get into William's hit list. Zoravec smiled at him while responding to those questions.
He was sure that now the conversation was going to get dragged because William was persistent. Zoravec knew he could not escape now anymore, thus he stood there and watched the rest of the students moving out. It was obvious that now Zoravec was going to come under the radar of other students.
The bullying was going to increase now and the way William was consistently inquiring him it was obvious to happen. Zoravec had no other option now but to comply with the situation and submit to the investigation. It was an unusual one since it held no importance and seemed gibberish at that moment.
'
"She is my neighbour, sir. They shifted a few months ago and I helped them out with towing luggage. That's how we met and then the interactions grew frequent and we got along together."
Zoravec immediately narrated the whole thing while keeping the major details to himself.
He could not afford to tell him everything about Kate, especially when he had not talked to her personally yet. It made Zoravec worry about what could be William's next move, since he could not predict it or even comprehend the reason. It was still not clear to him why William would ask such irrelevant things.
"I see. Thank you for the cooperation. You are dismissed now."
William smiled and let him go after he successfully made Zoravec appear suspicious. The whole act was deliberately played under a plan. William had something in his mind when he stopped Zoravec and stalled hik even further. But what was he even planning to do ahead?
"Thank you, sir. Good day!"
Zoravec nodded and bowed slightly, he headed towards the exit of the school. Meanwhile, William meaningfully licked his index finger while watching Zoravec as he vanished from his sight. His facial expressions showed that whatever he was up to was not something measly. William turned around and looked towards the roof as he mumbled to himself in heart.
'Finally, I have found you. Zoravec Maccabi!'
The cop knew something about Zoravec which others did not. Because Hecate's husband was not called Maccabi, who was supposed to be Zoravec's father. William definitely knew something about his biological father who was a vampire in the vampire realm.
'It seems he is not around to protect you from me.'
William's intentions were questionable since the beginning but he had s plan now to exploit Zoravec's powers. He was certain from all the records gathered about him, that there was nobody influential or powerful enough to protect him.
