I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 58 - Black Market (1)

Chapter 58 - Black Market (1)

Ashton freed his hands. He didn't even trust Lucifer completely, how the heck did he think he would trust someone else? A vampire on top of that. If anyone saw him walking around with a vampire, things might get troublesome.
Ashton was someone who should not have known anyone besides the Mistress and the people she was associated with. If he got caught with a vampire, how will he explain that he knew a vampire? Someone would definitely find something odd and his secret would no longer be a 'secret'.
"I don't know you and I don't think accompanying you in broad daylight would be a good choice-" Ashton was in the middle of speaking when he felt Rose's finger on his lips.
"Boya, you talk too much, which is a turn off for most of the ladies like me." She winked at him before lifting her finger, "But I get your concern. A werewolf walking around with a vampire would not be a wise thing to do. Thankfully, I can take care of it."
Rose closed her eyes for a second and the next moment, her pale vampire-like skin turned into one resembling that of the werewolves. Her skin was thriving again and her complexion got livelier... on top of that, even without her charm, she was looking... thicc?
Her previously crimson eyes had turned into a lovely shade of blue. Her face slowly turned red as blood once again started to flow within her body. Her look more or less changed in its entirety.
But there was something much more shocking than Rose's change in appearance. Her looks weren't the only thing that had changed, but her genetics as well. She had just transformed into a werewolf!
To say that Ashton was shocked would have been the understatement of the century. So far he had been thinking he was the only one who possessed multiple genes. But apparently, he wasn't.
'That isn't possible. The system itself told me that I was the first one of my kind.' Ashton recalled the notification he had seen the moment he was awakened, 'There has to be something else that I am missing.'
"Shocking, isn't it?" Rose smiled when she saw the look on Ashton's face, "Don't overthink it too much. I'll explain everything to you on the way. Now let's go."
[Enjoy kids. I'll meet you guys later. Gotta run.]

"So you're saying... Vampire and Werewolves can mate with each other?" Ashton whispered the moment Rose finished explaining why she had both the power of a vampire and a werewolf.
Unlike Ashton, rose did not receive her powers as he did. She did not get bitten by a vampire and a werewolf before their powers could manifest. Instead, she was conceived by a Vampiress and a werewolf.
The thought of a Werewolf getting intimate with a vampire was a bit... far-fetched. After all, Ashton was told that Werewolves and Vampires hated each other from the moment they were born. As if, it was genetic programming.
On top of that, unlike werewolves, the vampire did not have an active reproductive system because well... they were dead for all intents and purposes. Therefore, the thought of them conceiving a child was weird. Unless what the Mistress had been teaching him was false.
That's why Ashton had a hard time believing what Rose was telling him. However, her story got dark real quick. Her werewolf father was apparently an agent of the crown. Not of Lycania but of one of the other smaller kingdoms.
Ashton could already foresee what was about to happen. Rose's father betrayed her mother and launched a siege. However, even his father had underestimated the vampires and got obliterated.
But as Rose was the daughter of that man, she was thrown away to live on her own. No one, not even her 'mother' tried to dissuade others. Instead, she was the one who willingly abandoned her child just because she had the genes of a werewolf within herself.
"Lucifer found me then and helped me survive. Without him, I would have died a long time ago." Rose smiled wanly, "As for your question... yes. They can mate together. However, the chances of conceiving a child out of that are extremely low. But even then, it's much better than that of being bitten by three different creatures..."
"I still don't remember much, if anything at all about what happened that night." Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Whenever I force myself to remember anything, my head feels like it would split open in half and before long, I lose consciousness."
"Interesting... The first-ever being of his kinda and yet he doesn't know the secrets of his origin... interesting indeed."
"Are there any more people like you, Rose? I mean, Vampirewolves?"
"Oh, so you already took a peek at my stats." Rose's demeanour changed back to her cheery self, "You know it's rude to peek t a lady without her consent?"
"Do you know it's a crime to kidnap someone? Pick your poison and words carefully." Ashton retorted.
Well, technically, it was kidnapping. No one knew where Ashton had disappeared to as he had not told anyone that he was leaving. All he said was he was going to be in his room. Also, given the tense atmosphere around the cottage, Ashton doubted someone would even notice that he wasn't there.
As for Rose's stats... they were extraordinary. Nothing too brilliant, but still she was more or less strong enough to take a couple of city guards by herself. She had a higher level than he did, so he couldn't see the abilities and skills Rose possessed. But he could see the rest of it including her stats.

"Hm... yes. There are others like me. But I don't think they know the identity of other Vampirewolves. Oh well, looks like we'll have to continue our conversation some other time.. We have arrived."
