Arlene led (Y/N) into a car, he had changed from his card dealer's uniform into a proper all-black suit in the meantime. She opened a nearby compartment pulling out and offering him another bottle of cherry red wine.

(Y/N): "I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually blood."

Arlene: "Exclusive for human members of the House of Luca."

She proudly stated.

(Y/N): "You have human members?"

Arlene: "You're the third."

(Y/N): "Who are the others?"

Arlene: "A butler... and a coroner. Though they are simply associates. These have been sitting in here for years.

(Y/N): "I can't help but notice that those aren't exactly very important roles."

Arlene: "I'll have you know the coroner is very loyal. And helps with a lot of... problems."

(Y/N): "Problems that you bloodsuckers create for yourself?"

Arlene: "Be very careful with your choice of words..."

(Y/N): "Your father wouldn't want his guest harmed, now wouldn't he?"

Arlene glared daggers at him, huffing in frustration.

Arlene: "You humans, don't you know any proper manners?"

(Y/N): "I dunno, how about you bloodsucker."

Arlene: "What is with that word you use?"

She curiously asked.

(Y/N): "Isn't that the literal term?"

(Y/N) callously replied.

Arlene: "Well, I bet your blood will be delicious in the end..."

(Y/N): "Careful princess, you could trip on your arrogance."

Arlene just scoffed at him, placing the bottle of red wine back into the compartment. Refusing to converse with her rude guest.

- Timeskip - Luca Manor -

After he had arrived at a house outside of the city, (Y/N) was led through a small maze of hallways. Escorted by Arlene, she kept shooting him fierce stares. Still off put by his rude conduct earlier in the car. Wanting so badly to press him against a wall and completely drain him right then and there.

Behind two large vampire guards, and two doors. Arlene greeted them in Italian, the guards opened the door for her. But for (Y/N), Arlene ordered that he be searched. The two guards obliged, he stood by as he was felt up and down for any weapons.

(Y/N): "You guys do know I couldn't kill your boss even if I wanted to. UV-Infused Bullets aren't exactly cheap."

He boasted aloud, the two simply continued searching by patting all over his suit.

Guard: "UV Bullets aren't cheap. A wooden stake is as inexpensive as grabbing a three branch and sharpening it."

(Y/N) took note of that as he was cleared of weapons, he was let in. The twin doors were shut in behind him.

A huge portrait of Vlad Luca was perched right above the man who was himself at his desk. (Y/N) could see that he still seemed middle aged, even though his fellow employees at the casino spoke of him as if he was a grandfather. He had just finished signing a few papers and handed them to his butler, who carried them out of the room via another door.

Vlad: "You must be, (Y/N) (L/N). Have a seat."

He gestured to the chair in front of his dark oak desk, Arlene stood to the right of her father as (Y/N) sat himself down in the chair. He could feel the vampiric mob boss using his persuasive speech to great effect on him. His very aura commanded respect from everyone around him. His sharp suit and the blood red flower situated in his suit's front pocket helped to sell his authority.

Vlad; "Now, Arlene told me you've been extremely rude to her during the car ride here. Isn't that right, sweetie."

Arlene: "Indeed."

She said.

(Y/N): "I've heard that vampires are telepathic, that's how you talked with her without me hearing right?

He questioned.

Arlene: "Now you will know to keep that running mouth of yours shut. And to show absolute respect."

Vlad: "Oh calm yourself, dear. (Y/N) knows that any future argument with you will leave him feeling... drained."

Arlene giggled as she cheekily smiled at (Y/N), exposing her elongated fangs as she did it.

Vlad: "Patience, daughter. (Y/N) is now official a part of the House of Luca... our own attack dog."

(Y/N) laughed a little.

(Y/N): "What makes you think that I'm going to carry out hits for you?"

Vlad chuckled in response, before Arlene walked towards (Y/N) herself.

Arlene: "Those long boring days working at Moonlight have to put some sort of sour taste in your mouth... As you may know, Fenrir Den has been lately aggressive towards us and our connections..."

She began, her father continued.

Vlad: "Just last night, four of our members were ambushed in the streets and killed by those dogs while transporting money from Moonlight. Just three weeks ago, police officers under their control tried to arrest my daughter. You are seeing the pattern here, yes? They are moving at last, the next full moon is in just four days. Our entire organization is at risk. (Y/N), we need your help to destroy Lupun Fenrir. Beheading Fenrir Den will surely kill those hounds off for good.

(Y/N) looked quite confused at this. Though he was very intrigued at the notion that he'd finally be free from working in that damn casino. He felt as if it wasn't something fit for him.

(Y/N): "I'll be frank, I've done dangerous jobs during my time in the Mob. But what makes you think that I'll be more effective than simply sending one of your vampires to do the job?"

He questioned, which was where Vlad Luca chuckled again.

Vlad: "Werewolves turn to aggression at the mere scent of us vampires. Sometimes they can be stronger, too... As a regular human, you may be weaker than us and them... but your skills and their underestimation of you will prove to be their downfall."

Vlad boasted, (Y/N) seemingly soaked in all of his words like a sponge.

(Y/N): "I see... I'm actually really considering accepting your offer..."

Arlena: "Take our offer, and we can give you so much... I could even give you eternal life..."

She hungrily growled as said the last half of her sentence. (Y/N) however looked disgusted at the thought of becoming like these monsters? Simply pretending to be human. But, in the end he was still seriously Vlad Luca's offer.

(Y/N): "With respect, I find your offer enticing... But, might I be given some time to think about this? Mr. Luca?"

The vampiric mod boss gave it some thought? Before nodding his head slowly towards (Y/N).

Vlad: "I will allow it, on one condition..."

(Y/N): "And what's that?"

(Y/N) asked curiously.

Vlad: "That you spend the night here at Luca Manor, you must be starving having worked all day at Moonlight. Mr. Harris will have a meal prepared for all of us very soon. Contrary to rumour, we vampires are able to eat human food. Though, we see it as a pleasure rather than a source of sustenance. Come young man, have a nice evening dinner with us..."

(Y/N): "It would be my pleasure."

At that point, (Y/N) couldn't tell whether it was his free will or the elder Luca's will-crushing, mind-twisting words that made him accept this offer.
