Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

Chapter 124 Heartbroken Blake

Zoravec was relieved upon realising that his fangs had returned to normal canines. Similarly his eyes stopped glowing crimson too, the distraction caused by the board member proved to be helpful. However, he was determined that the particular action would definitely deduct some points. Zoravec could not afford to lose his chance to stand out even in the teamwork.

Even though Blake had equal contribution as Clara but compared to Zoravec they both lacked a lot. Zoravec covered his mouth and inhaled sharply to control his rapidly beating heart. It was the utter indication of his frightful situation and as expected the board member assumed it was caused by the sight of the corpse. And that particular thought made the board member angry yet equally curious.

Zoravec knew he had to clear that misconception and had to prove that he was not afraid of those things. Especially when he had seen Lyra's dead body right under him after killing her. His senses had returned to normal because the board members had absorbed all the blood and the smell had already faded. All those catalysts which could excite Zoravec's senses vanished and the coast was clear.

Blake turned towards him and asked about his health whereas Zoravec nodded and immediately turned around to face the board member. He saw a big burly man with a French beard and red hair standing in front of him just a few steps away. Zoravec stared straight into his glowing crimson eyes which made the board member raise his one eyebrow.

However, Zoravec did not wait any further and immediately stood straight like a soldier with his both hands closely put over the side of his thighs. Blake glanced at him and followed the same suit, he knew he could blindly trust Zoravec's instincts.

"No, sir! We are not afraid. We will strengthen our stomachs!"

Zoravec spoke on the behalf of Blake too and seized the opportunity to win Blake's trust.

"Mm!"

The French bearded guy huffed and glared at them suspiciously, however he did not have any say in the matter because they had won the tasks. Zoravec knew that the board members were just the outer circle people. It was expected that none of the pentagon members or nobles would appear publicly like that risking their anonymity. It meant that there were two or possibly three layers related to the classification of the vampires.

"Good! Move now!"

The board member shouted at them which made Blake flinch at the loud pitch of his coarse voice. However, he did not move risking any fuck up instead stayed put with all his might. Whereas Zoravec was unmoved and his nonchalant attitude impressed that mentor. Andre was one of the vampiric professors who was supposed to teach the control over powers.

He was one of the most wanted people Zoravec desired to get along with, but he was not aware of that for now to be able to impress him. However, unconsciously Zoravec had already stepped into the good books of Andre with his quick observations and determination. As soon as Blake and Zoravec settled the misconception with him they followed Andre outside that room.

The tasks had ended and now was the time for rewards, Andre walked ahead and a door magically appeared. Of course, if you don't remember the door was gone previously during task two and three. Clara stood a bit away from Zoravec and Blake,  everyone had started to move out of the room slowly. Zoraavec glanced behind and saw Jessica still rooted in her spot.

The girl was still unable to recover from the shock of Jason's death and the defeat of the task. Zoravec low key felt bad upon acknowledging that he was responsible of her that condition. But he cpuld not afford to approach her now to console, it could potentially risk his chances of being hired as a soldier. He had to stay put and within the limitations and space he was given at that moment.

He shook his head to dismiss all thise thoughts which could possibly result into a big fuck up. Zoravec controlled himself and headed outside the room leaving Jessica all alone with her brother's decapitated dead body. It was the moment when Blake plunged towards Clara and wrapped his arm around her neck as he sweetly praised her courage to fight Jason.

"Hey, Clara! You were amazing back there!"

Blake had no clue that she was having no Interest in all that consoling or praises. Zoravec saw both of then slowly walking ahead of him and shook his head with a brief sigh. He could not fathom how innocent and simple- minded Blake was that he could not even see through Clara. Nonetheless, the girl halted for a moment and grabbed Blake's hand tightly, Clara deliberately crushed his hand a bit before she began to speak.

"The test has ended Blake. Let's never cross paths again."

She had a nonchalant attitude and an expressionless face when she spoke all those horrible words to him. Clara jerked off his hand cruelly and intentionally broke his hand upon suspecting that he probably liked her. Zoravec witnessed all that along with the other board members who continued to walk and did not pay any heed to what what happening behind.

"Argh…w- why?"

The whole situation made him wince in pain as Blake held his hand and blankly looked at Clara. The poor guy was puzzled why would her attitude change towards him out of nowhere. Blake held his broken wrist with his other hand as his eyes began to tear up with mixed emotions of pain and betrayal. Clara glared at him while narrowing her eyes and headed ahead, Blake was left partially heartbroken with immense pain in his right hand.

It was the moment when Zoravec approached him with a tender expression over his face. He patted Blake's shoulder as Zoravec glanced at Clara who had gone way too ahead. Zoravec shifted his gaze and smiled at Blake who burst into tears but immediately wiped them off.
