Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

After settling with Devi and Simon, Zoravec headed towards his class. He turned towards the right and entered his class, and as soon as he went inside everyone became silent. Zoravec knew why everyone was staring at him, he was fully aware that the only prime suspect for Pike's death was him.

'Tsk, these fuckers. Will they ever leave me alone?'

He muddled to himself and steadily walked towards his seat. Zoravec tried to ignore everyone present in his class, it was not the first time he had been facing such a scenario. Zoravec was used to it but this time his emotions were different.

Zoravec knew he was strong enough this time to fight or snap back at those people. He was powerful enough to rip off their heads effortlessly. But he also knew that he had to stay calm in order to blend in with the others as before. Zoravec could not afford to expose himself like that.

He was fully aware that he was required to keep his powers hidden. It would have been weird and highly suspected if somebody knew he had suddenly gotten some powers. Thus, Zoravec ensured that everything would remain as normal as it was before he awakened his powers.

After all, he needed to know more about Pike's unexpected death and the news about Lyra. Zoravec knew that now after Simon's death the only chance he had was to absorb the information from his classmates. Well, which was more likely was gossip!

'Lets see what you all have to say about this.'

Zoravec peeked through the corner of his eyes as he briefly analysed his surroundings. He could see a few students sitting on their seats. While a few were roaming around with their friends. However, one thing was common among all the students, curiosity.

Everyone was acting as usual and as they were supposed to. The class was just like a regular room of an institute, there were numerous posters on the walls with chemicals and other educational stuff. A huge black board was in the front of five rows, each row had ten tables/seats.

Since Zoravec was an outcast for not having any kind of affinity, it made him different from every other person. And everyone's behaviour made Zoravec to separate himself from the rest of the class. That's why his seat was on the end of the classroom, on the right side near the huge window.

Zoravec knew that no study would happen that day but he still needed to stay there. He could trust his classmates with the whole gossip thing. Zoravec was well aware that they were the literal definition of the snakes, it was not wise to trust them at all. Because snakes were always two faced and biting was in their nature.

Just like those reptiles, his classmates were infested with poison too. They all were greedy for power and probably would do anything to gain it. After all, they were all ordinary humans who were helpless in front of dhampirs and the vampires. It made them all secretly become enemies of each other.

Resentment and hatred was fed to them indirectly which was the result of the conquering of the vampires. It was due to the extreme imposing of rules and regulations. The rebuilding of the society was what caused the whole tension in the new era.

The status quo which was established between the people was based on the power distribution. Those people who were ordinary humans but had any sort of affinity were deemed superior compared to those who had no such power.

The whole pyramid which was based on the power score had humans as the lowest. Then were those who had any sort of affinity, they were deemed worthy of being transformed into dhampirs. Above those people were classified as dhampirs, people who were actually transformed and were employed as dhampirs.

On the top of the pyramid resided the nobles, the pure blooded vampires. They were the superior beings who held the authority over everything. Zoravec had been muddling since yesterday about the whole pyramid thing. He knew he did not fall in any of the categories, it made Zoravec wonder what exactly he was.

'Mm, it seems there has been a lot of gossip around.'

Zoravec knew that there was a lot of stuff around, but he wanted to stay a bit more to figure it out. He focused his hearing senses on the people's lipsing and conversations around him. Zoravec was sure that if he concentrated over their talks it would benefit him a little bit.

[The dialogues below are the conversations of the classmates]

"Did you hear?" - Person 1

"What? What do you mean? Did something happen?" - Person 2

"Oh, yes. Didn't you guys hear?" - Person 1

"No? What happened? Don't create such a mystery, tell us." - Person 3

"Yeah, spill the beans. Hurry up!" - Person 2

"Did you guys see the cops while coming to the class?" - Person 1

"Yeah, I saw them. They asked me some questions about the whole class." - Person 3

"Yeah, they asked me some similar questions. Inquiring about the classmates, if someone is suspicious or not. Those questions were kind of creepy." - Person 2

"They were not creepy, those guys were doing their work simply. You guys did not notice that Lyra is absent today." - Person 1

"Oh yeah! She is absent today, maybe she is sick. Poor girl." - Person 3

"Indeed a poor girl. She was murdered yesterday. And the cops are investigating her case. It was said that she got murdered in a really weird way. I heard people saying her eyes were wide open as if she had seen some ghost." - Person 1

"Oh my goodness! Was she possessed by a ghost? What happened to her? Who could possibly even kill her?" - Person 2

"Yeah, she was the sweetest girl. Our class's topper and she never quarrelled with anyone. Then possibly who can murder her?" - Person 3

"I don't know whether she was possessed or not. But I am telling you people what I heard from others. Why do you think the top class cops are investigating this case?" - Person 1

"Because it is unusual?" - Person 2

"EXACTLY! Poor girl, I cannot fathom how her body was mutilated and shredded into thousands of pieces." - Person 1

"What are you saying? That is a horrible death. Who are the suspects?" - Person 3

"Yes, tell us. Who are the suspects? I hope the cops did not enlist us in that category." - Person 2

"I don't know. But it seems that Lyra's death was not something even the cops had seen." - Person 1
