A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

Chu Lin made this gesture not because he really wanted to fire, but to see Alpha's reaction.

The last bullet is too important; he won't use it easily.

But Alpha didn't seem too afraid; she even comforted him, "Xiao Lin, don't be afraid. I didn't expect him to come, but it will be over soon..."

"Beep—beep beep—"

All around, piercing alarms blared.

Chu Lin heard the sound of other vampires approaching. The footsteps were extremely fast and chaotic, and it seemed that they had a conflict with the vampires brought by Ians.

He heard a voice that sounded like that of a leader of the vampires.

"Do you have any evidence? Yes, illegal entry..."

"Everything is organized."

"Ians should be here. Just hold him down. They made the first move."

Upon hearing these words, Chu Lin quickly considered them.

Given Alpha's personality, he would never have believed Ians so easily, but he was indeed persuaded by Ians and wanted to use the method Ians had suggested to change him...

However, the methods and people involved are not necessarily trustworthy. Given that Ians has a high social status and may turn against you at any time, what is the safest course of action for Alpha?

Find something on Ians, threaten him, control him, or even kidnap him outright.

For example, using charges of illegal entry and malicious injury to legitimize one's "legitimate self-defense."

No wonder there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

This is not just a cage that Alpha used to trap him, but also a trap set for Ians.

Soon, another group of vampires entered and easily subdued the vampires that Ians had brought.

The leader was the vampire whom Alpha called "Uncle." He glanced at Chu Lin and Alpha, who were facing off, said nothing, and ordered his men to drag the unconscious Ians away and clear the area.

Seeing that Alpha was gradually gaining the upper hand, Chu Lin put away his gun and slowly pressed it against his temple.

Then, taking one step back, he walked towards the broken window.

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately rushed over as if he had gone mad.

"Wait! Calm down, Lin!"

Chu Lin shouted sternly, "Don't come any closer!"

Alpha's leg was twisted unnaturally as he leaned on the table.

"Okay, I won't go over there. Can you put the gun down first? Those guys from the church have been dealt with. They'll never bother you again. I won't force you anymore. You can do whatever you want, I'll listen to you."

Chu Lin looked at Alpha, then slowly shook his head.

"No."

Chu Lin only now realized how pathetic it was to entrust one's fate to others and expect them to be kind and compassionate towards one's situation...

If he were really a cat or dog, unable to resist, then so be it.

But he is a human being.

He should at least have the right to choose death.

Just as Chu Lin was pondering whether to jump out of the window or shoot himself... a huge gust of wind howled in.

Along with it came the sound of propellers; the hurricane was almost making Chu Lin lose his footing.

Chu Lin turned his head.

Outside the window, Xiaoye, standing on the rope ladder descending from the helicopter, pushed up her goggles: "Want a ride?"

Chu Lin almost dropped the gun in his hand.

How did you know I was here?

Xiaoye said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... the installation package I sent you last time had a backdoor that could locate your phone."

Chu Lin quickly accepted this explanation.

"Okay, wait a minute, give me two minutes."

Chu Lin ran back to his bedroom, picked up the rabbit keychain that Xiao Bai had given him, and then walked up to Alpha, who had followed him, and extended his left hand to him.

"Take off the bracelet."

Alpha silently complied, but grabbed Chu Lin's arm just before Chu Lin turned around.

"Xiao Lin, please don't go..."

As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion. Chu Lin looked up and was somewhat surprised to find Alpha crying, her eyes filled with undisguised pain and exhaustion.

Chu Lin finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you feed me human blood?"

Upon hearing this, Alpha immediately shook her head: "No, no... I didn't."

He realized what was happening and showed Chu Lin his left wrist, which had some wounds of varying depths.

"It's my blood. It just lets you live a little longer, it has nothing to do with the Embrace... or turning you into a vampire."

Chu Lin's pupils dilated slightly: "Are you crazy?"

Alpha shook his head and said quickly, "The Embrace transformation ritual is very painful and has a very low success rate. For humans with a low will to survive, it's impossible to succeed. He told me not to interfere because he wanted me to become part of your reason for survival, but I didn't agree... If I really didn't care about your thoughts, I wouldn't even have told you about this."

"The method I used won't actually turn you into a vampire; it will just make you live a little longer. Without the Embrace, you won't become a vampire... I'm also afraid that if you did become a vampire, you wouldn't be able to accept it and would try to commit suicide. I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Chu Lin stared blankly at Alpha.

Damn it, Ian's tricked me again.

Chu Lin smiled, but tears streamed down her face.

He said with some emotion, "Actually, it should all be my fault. If I hadn't provoked you and confessed my feelings to you, maybe you would have respected my life as a pet and only been sad for a short time after I died."

Alpha shook her head: "That's not how it is. You're not wrong. This is my choice. It's because I like you."

"Lin, let's go home, okay? This time, no vampires will bully you anymore. You don't have to be afraid of the church, you don't have to be afraid they'll take you away. I can cook you delicious food, I can take you to the amusement park..."

Chu Lin: "But I have things I want to do... not to be a vampire's pet, not to stay at home every day, happy when I see you, sad when I don't, like an idle dog waiting for its owner's affection..."

Chu Lin pried open Alpha's fingers one by one.

"Alpha, thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I have to leave now."

Alpha's face was pale, as if she knew there was no point in saying anything, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm: "You'll come back to me, won't you? We haven't broken up yet, right...?"

Chu Lin shook his head and then walked towards the window.

Alpha frantically searched for something, limping along, and managed to slip a black card into Chu Lin's hand just before he left.

"Take it. There's 80 million inside. It was originally meant for you. Go with them. Having money will make things easier for you outside."

"Do you remember my phone number? You can call me, or text me... Come to me if you're bullied, or if you're broke..."

"Um."

Perhaps feeling that he would never be able to leave if he didn't leave soon, Chu Lin climbed onto the windowsill and then jumped.

The black hem of her skirt drew a barely noticeable trail in the night. Xiao Ye steadily put her arm around Chu Lin's waist and helped him stand on the rope ladder.

Chu Lin did not look back until the helicopter left.

Alpha felt as if a part of her heart had been hollowed out. She lowered her eyes, and tears fell drop by drop.

Finally, he slid slowly down the stone wall and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
