A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

Alpha was stunned.

"What did you say?"

Ians: "The Embrace... I think that was the term a long time ago. It was a ritual to transform humans into vampires."

Alpha: "Why have I never heard of this before?"

Ians: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because it's an ancient legend. It's very difficult to accomplish, otherwise every vampire would want to transform their human pets into vampires, wouldn't that create chaos?"

Alpha: "Even if he could, he wouldn't want to become a vampire."

Ians: "But you're tempted, aren't you? You should know how much longer he, as a human being, has to live."

Alpha didn't respond.

He wouldn't live much longer; at least for him, thirty years was as short as a flash.

Ians seemed to read his mind: "Actually, I'm not saying I necessarily want to take Ah Lin away from you. I just want to continue my experiment. If all else fails, I can play the villain and try to transform him, while you play the hero."

Alpha finally looked up at him.

"...What did you say?"

"It's simple. He hates me, which is perfect. I'll force him to complete the Embrace, and after he becomes a vampire and survives, you'll appear—save him, comfort him, and tell him you've been kept in the dark. That way, he'll always hate me, but he can still love you."

Ians spread his hands, his posture almost sincere, with the friendly tone typical of church members.

"A win-win situation. You get an immortal Ah Lin, and I complete my experiment. Whether he's willing or not shouldn't matter, living is always better than dying... If he's willing to commit suicide, would you just let him do it?"

Alpha did not speak.

He hated the suggestion.

What's even more annoying is that for a fraction of a second, he actually went through the scene in his mind.

Chu Lin might curse him with red eyes, might feel very upset, and might break down for a while.

But Chu Lin is alive, and time will gradually cover everything up.

There will be no barriers between them, and they will no longer argue over so-called racial issues...

Moreover, Chu Lin had never received any benefit from his own kind, so he shouldn't feel guilty about falling in love with a vampire because of them.

Ians slowed his pace appropriately, stood up, and prepared to leave: "It's alright, I can give you time to consider it. Give me an answer in seven days."

Alpha suddenly said, "Wait..."

Ians turned around.

Alpha punched him hard on the bridge of the nose.

Ians staggered, his nose stung, and blood started flowing.

Alpha flexed his wrists.

Ians raised his hand and wiped his face, looking at the blood on his palm.

"It wouldn't come to violence, would it? Didn't I already say I could give him to you..."

Alpha punched him again.

Ians didn't dodge; he took the punch head-on.

"Oh……"

Two soft knocks came from outside the door.

Leon's voice came through the door: "Your Excellency, would you like us to come in?"

"No need." Ians said without turning his head, looking at Alpha.

"I'm telling you, if you refuse, you won't even have a chance to regret it after he dies."

Alpha gasped for breath, her voice strained: "What exactly do you take him for?"

"Experimental subject. Child. Pet. A decent bed partner." Ians thought for a moment, then added, "It's also a reasonably decent creation that I spent a lot of time and effort developing."

"Don't you have any sense of ethics at all?"

"Guys like us who have lived for so long have long since lost all sense of ethics and morality."

Ians pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped his nose. "You're not as noble as you think yourself... Why choose to suffer while being kind?"

Ians folded the bloodstained handkerchief and put it back in his pocket, as if it were just a minor incident in the conversation.

"Anyway, you probably already considered him an inferior race, and your feelings of pity outweighed your affection for him."

Ians patted Alpha on the shoulder and walked past him.

The door opened, then closed.

Alpha stood alone in place, his knuckles still throbbing with pain.

He picked up the phone from the table.

The screen displayed the message Chu Lin had sent a long time ago:

[Linlin: That Jackley, he seems to have gone mad. Do I really have to go with him?]

Alpha shrunk the chat window and opened the message Jackley had sent him.

A few photos taken recently: the little human being crammed into the passenger seat, glaring angrily at the camera; and after arriving home, patrolling around the house.

[Sexy bartender Jack: I've picked him up. How's it going on your end?]

Alpha hovered his thumb over the keyboard, typed a few words, and then deleted them.

In the end, he only replied with one sentence:

[A: It's okay. Don't take him out for now.]

[Sexy bartender Jack: OK.]

After sending the message, Alpha leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

What kept echoing in my mind wasn't Ians' threat, but that phrase—

I'll be the bad guy, and you'll be the hero.

Just pretend you don't know, just do nothing, and let this happen naturally.

How vicious.

How convenient.

So many... it's hard to refuse.

Alpha opened her eyes and then replied in the chat box with Chu Lin.

[A: It's okay, baby. Stay at his house for a while, and I'll come pick you up.]

……

Chu Lin lay in the hammock, saw the message on his phone, and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chu Lin turned his head.

Jackley poked his face: "Get up and eat some fruit."

Chu Lin saw that he was holding a fruit plate with sliced ​​apples in it, so he took it and started eating with a fork.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, just call me Uncle."

Chu Lin took a bite of the apple: "No."

Jackley, standing nearby, asked, "So, did you two really elope?"

Chu Lin: "Mm."

Jackley: "Alpha really likes you?"

Chu Lin: "Mm."

Jackley: "How was he in bed?"

Chu Lin: "Cough cough cough!!"

Chu Lin, who had almost been murdered by the apple again, glared at Jackley: "Are you sick? What's the point of asking such a question!"

Jackley stroked his chin: "So, this guy really did it... I really thought he was just talking. Torture, real torture."

Chu Lin turned his head away.

Jackley: "So, does he wear a T-shirt or not...?"

"That's enough!"

Chu Lin picked up a piece of apple and shoved it into Jackley's mouth: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll assassinate you while you're sleeping during the day!"

Jackley: "!!!"

He chewed the apple a few times and swallowed it. "I'm worried about you, baby. I heard from Karen that he even got you to the hospital before."

Chu Lin got up and left.

Jackley caught up: "Hey, don't be angry. I got you some food, I promise, this time it will definitely, absolutely, and absolutely be to your liking."

Chu Lin looked at him with some suspicion.

Jackley put his arm around Chu Lin's shoulder: "Don't worry, baby, if you're with me, I'll never let you go hungry!!!"
