Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 77
Chapter 77: I Am Not Your Babysitter
Eloise’s POV:
“But we need to have a drink.” I looked helplessly at the bodyguard and pleaded sorrowfully.
“Maybe if you could help us buy a bottle of wine… ”
“But you guys will take advantage of my absence to sneak out, right?” This bodyguard didn’t want to tell us his name. He seemed to have seen through our trick and looked at us warily. But soon, his expression became gentle again.
“But if you really want to go for a drink, I’ll accompany you.”
“We’re werewolves and stronger at night, so we’re not afraid of danger.” I tried my best to explain to him.
“We won’t be affected in any way on a night like this.”
He still looked skeptical. I didn’t know what else to say to him. But I didn’t like the feeling of being followed.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be outside the bar. But, if anything happens, run out as soon as possible.” He finally sighed.
“Of course, I’m only here to protect you. I’m not your babysitter.”
We heaved a sigh of relief. The three of us quickly arrived at the bar closest to our residence. I didn’t know why there were so few people here today. It was different from the past.
Our bodyguard parked the car at the entrance, and the two of us walked in.
“Don’t you think there are too few people today? It’s as if everyone is terrified of going out.” Chloe looked around worriedly. This was the most patronized bar in the area, but it was not even full.
This was very abnormal.
“This one? What you said makes sense because there have recently been many bloody incidents here at night. I think you may have heard about it, ” the bartender answered patiently. Then, he looked up.
“Of course. The situation seemed to have improved recently. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even see this many people a few days ago.”
When he said that, I felt the alcohol in my mouth had lost its taste.
‘We should hurry back,” said Chloe, a little worried.
“1f it’s that dangerous, I don’t want to be here… ” she said.
I knew what she was worried about. This was a human-dominated area. It was not appropriate for us to transform.
“However, if we don’t transform into wolves, we might not be able to defeat the other monsters hiding in the dark.
I instantly lost interest in drinking. Besides, we’d drunk enough.
“Ah, but some people also say it might be a vampire or a werewolf this time. Who cares?” The bartender continued to talk happily to himself, and then he poured us more alcohol.
“But speaking of werewolves, I have some gossip here. For example, I recently heard that a certain Alpha’ s daughter seems to have a very close relationship with one of our young masters… Well, these are just rumors.” He noticed we perked up on this and broke into a brilliant smile.
However, I knew that, in essence, this was to keep us drinking here. But no matter what, we had to leave.
“Perhaps you want to hear some details?
Some unreliable things were spread almost every year , but there might be some hidden agenda behind it. I’d always remember this. If there was such a person, I might just know who he was. But that was not the main point now. ‘ffhank you very much, but we are in a hurry.” I quickly gave him the money and left with him.
We quickly arrived at the entrance, but unexpectedly, the car was empty.
“Where is he?” I looked at the bodyguard’s car in surprise. It seemed he had left in a hurry and did not even leave any message.
But at that moment, we heard a human scream.
We looked at each other, ready to fight at any time.
Werewolves and vampires were almost mortal enemies. If they harmed humans, we could still drive them away even if it was not on our territory. So, we ran over as fast as we could.
At the corner of the street, a vampire was pouncing on a young girl. After seeing us, he stared at us with a pair of scarlet eyes. Then, he opened its bloody mouth and pounced at us.
Before we could transform into our werewolf forms, we heard a loud noise.
A trash can fell from the sky, directly pinning the vampire to the ground..
