Zoravec knew he had been lying about that so-called mutual benefit offer. It was obvious that whatever William said had no personal gain in it. A shrewd vampire like him would not negotiate with a possible suspect when he had made it clear that verbally. William knew about the cops who ca to his place to capture an entity but then disappeared.
And considering every single cue it was obvious that whatever William claid could not be as simple as he ntioned. Thus, Zoravec took the opportunity to ask him bluntly, acknowledging that William was potentially hiding things from him. On the other hand, Hecate was unable to process as to why William would co there personally with such an absurd offer.
"What's your catch in all this?"
Zoravec's stern expressions made it evident to William that he was stubborn. It was clear he did not believe in him and it amused William, he was expecting a witty nature and replies from him.
The cop smiled and shook his head when a chuckle escaped from his lips and he looked straight towards Zoravec. In normal cases any dhampir or a class C type vampire would have exposed their emotions through their changing eye colour. But William was calm and composed, his eyes did not glow for any brief mont.
The certain speculation left Zoravec in awe and he realised how easy it was to see through him. It was just that William turned a blind eye towards it and it definitely had a specific reason behind it. Zoravec was slowly figuring out that William was deliberately not arresting him despite all the obvious clues.
Zoravec knew by now that William must have found out he was Lyra's culprit. And it was certainly not tough for him to dig the rest of the dirt on him. It made Zoravec mildly fear him regarding what he was intending to do with that offer. After all, he would not simply want a murderer and a practitioner of violence into army. Right?
William knew Zoravec was a restless person and he had no intention of listening to gibberish. Thus, he did not stall him even more and responded to him with the malicious intention of creating another confusion. Hecate on the other hand slumped in the sofa nearby with her thoughts completely invested in the realisation that in no ti Zoravec will leave.
"There is no catch. Other than joining you have no choice."
The cop deliberately looked at him with a sharp gaze and studied how Zoravec reacted to his words. William wanted to ensure that Zoravec would get scared and comply with his demand. He intentionally paused after saying that and could see a slight dilation and contraction in his eyes.
A smirk appeared on his lips upon seeing how his words brought the truth in front of him. Zoravec was unintentionally giving him the answers without even asking. William continued his words further upon making sure he was trapped in the whirlpool of emotional disturbance.
"Don't worry, I will take care of every murder and killing you will do,"
He deliberately paused once again only to see Zoravec's fingers curling into fists. William beca certain from his body language and stuff behaviour that he was involved in so dirty stuff. And the recent occurrence of unusual events made it clear that Zoravec was involved.
"No, he would not join the army. You cannot just co here and provoke my son to join you at the cost of his life."
Hecate took the charge and burst on William, as she shot up from the sofa and leaped towards the cop. She daringly reached for his collar and pulled William in anger, he acknowledged that she was precious to Zoravec that's why refrained from hurting her.
"Mom, please."
Zoravec imdiately rushed towards her knowing that they all could land into a peril if William ended up using his powers. It made him scared for the sole reason that they could get wiped off easily within the blink of an eye. And Zoravec did not want to die a pathetic dog's death when he had so much to do first.
Hecate on the other hand was not willing to hold back from making William go away. She jerked his collars and shouted at the guy with tears rolling down her cheeks. William also had a family and was aware of a mother's feelings for her children. As much as he wanted to reply back by using his powers, he refrained and sat there silently.
"Mom please leave him, this is not going anywhere. Co on, leave him."
Zoravec held her by shoulders and pulled back the woman, whereas Hecate was not willing to leave William's shoulder that easily. He was sure upon seeing the cop's expressions that William was growing angry gradually.
"No! Let go, I won't let this man take you. How dare he co here and offer you such an absurd thing?"
Hecate turned around and grabbed Zoravec by shoulders tightly. Her grip was unusually strong around his forearms as he beca sure that Hecate genuinely cared about him. She could not bear him going away from ho and risking his life for the creatures who ruined his life to begin with.
"Go away, I won't send my son to serve you guys."
She rashly wiped off her tears and averted towards William, Hecate was sure that he could not take Zoravec without her permission. Not that it was allowed legally, William needed a video clip for verbal permit and her signatures to take Zoravec away. And Hecate was not going to sign it with her sane mind.
"You have to go empty handed, I won't be sending my child to die. I want him to stay unscathed in one piece. Let this old woman live in peace with her son."
Hecate glared at William to make him leave, the man could not bear any more insults. No matter what it was he was unable to withstand the spades of anger and insults thrown at him.
"I should get going now."
William stood up from the sofa and settled his shirt, he cast a last look at Zoravec to ensure that he would be waiting for his reply. Zoravec stared at him intensely and slightly nodded as a sign to et up sooner. He made Hecate settle in the sofa once again, and patted on her shoulder while the woman cried.
William headed outside silently with a smile, his work was done there. There was no doubt that Zoravec will approach him in no ti to consider his offer.
