When Yibo woke up in the late evening, he suddenly had a whole new body feeling. And a very big hunger! He looked at Zhan, who was still sleeping peacefully next to him, and grinned. He thought of their very special wedding night and whispered softly while giving Zhan a kiss on the cheek, "You're still exhausted from our night huh?"

Zhan stretched and looked at Yibo with his eyes still half closed. "Ah, wait. Take this." He said and handed Yibo a thermos. Even as he opened it, Yibo could smell the blood. His stomach immediately growled quite loudly and felt his fangs immediately come out. "Drink this Yibo. It may take you a while to get used to fixed drinking times and amounts. Right now, therefore, you will feel this hunger often."

"ZhanZhan, I do feel hungry, but not just for blood."

"HUH?"

"Well, looking at you..."

"What again?"

"Yeh."

"Then drink your blood first."

"Oh I will. But, I have a much better idea on how to drink it." Yibo replied with a smirk.

He turned Zhan onto his back and very slowly let the blood from the thermos run onto Zhan's collar. And from there it continued to run down to his belly button. Yibo sat on Zhan's thigh and bent down to him. Very slowly he began to drink the blood from Zhan's belly button and then licked his way up to Zhan's collar.

The two kissed each other and Yibo repeated what he was doing. He also let the blood run onto Zhan's nipples and also over Zhan's cock. Zhan grinned and moaned softly, "Oh wow, you are so deliciously creative." Even before Zhan turned him last night, Yibo showed animalistic traits. But now that Yibo is a vampire, these are intensified many times over. And any perhaps previously existing restraints, were now completely gone. This was already felt by Zhan the previous night, when they celebrated their wedding night.

"I think that's always been in me. And thanks to you, now I can live it out." Yibo replied, spinning Zhan around. He poured the blood on Zhan's neck, watching it run down to his butt. "So hot. So sexy." Yibo murmured, licking the blood off Zhan's body.

The two sank completely into their lovemaking, which didn't end for over two hours. But even then, they could have continued. However, it was time to head back. After all, they still have an important mission ahead of them. They have to kill Meng Yao and Su She and find out to what extent Yibo's brother is involved in the vampire murders.

After a long shower, the two went downstairs expecting to find the council members there. However, no one was there except for the old man. Zhan explained to Yibo that only the old man lives permanently in this house and guards it, while the other council members live scattered everywhere and only come to this house when there is a meeting.

They each drank another glass of blood with the old man and then it was time to say goodbye. Yibo thanked the old man among other things for the knife he had received as a gift, who smiled and said, "You belong to us now. And whenever you or both of you need something, come here. Take good care of each other. And Yibo, you are not only an asset to Zhan, but to all of us. We're glad you're one of us now."

It was clear to Yibo that he meant the assassin Yibo. But still he was proud and happy. He also had the feeling for the first time. That he had finally arrived. That he had finally found what he had unconsciously always been looking for. Now, finally, he was who he was always supposed to be and wanted to be.

With his partner, a new Valuable Knife and two full thermoses of blood for the long journey back, Yibo was the first to leave the house and waited for Zhan at the bottom of the stairs. He took Zhan's hand and together they both walked the long narrow path back to their car.

But before Yibo started the car's engine, he turned to Zhan and said, "Thanks to you, I am a brand new Yibo. A Yibo I was always meant to be. I feel like I've finally found my purpose. My purpose in life. I exist only for you and because of you. Only through you I realized that I can feel complete only with you. I believe you are and have always been my destiny."

Zhan had tears of happiness in his eyes. He leaned over to Yibo and kissed him. "You made me wait for you for quite a long time. I'm glad I found you in the cave and saved you. I felt a connection with you right away. I just never imagined how strong that connection could become. Thank you for sharing eternity with me."

"I couldn't live without you anyway. You're all I need ZhanZhan."

"I feel the same way about you." Replied Zhan.

The journey of the two started and because Zhan had fallen asleep again, Yibo had a lot of time to think. Especially about his brother and Meng Yao. He still remembered very clearly how his brother showed up at his place with Meng Yao back then, and Yibo immediately felt a cold shiver run down his spine when he saw him.

When I saw Meng Yao, I immediately felt that something was wrong with him. I just couldn't put it into words. And you can't tell by looking at him. He is, if you will, even kind of cute. Even if he is not my type. So I could understand why my brother fell for him. Moreover, he played the weak boyfriend who needs protection and help from his handsome and strong boyfriend.

My brother is taller than me, broader built and really handsome. Moreover, he is a good assassin. Not as good as me, but still better than others. What, what if Meng Yao turned him? Then my brother should also be more than dangerous! Then he, Meng Yao and Su She would be practically unbeatable. Unbeatable for others. But not for Zhan and me!

Because even if Zhan looks like a sweet dear guy who couldn't hurt a fly. So he is insanely strong as a vampire and merciless. He as his true self, is almost untouchable. But he and I together, that makes an explosive mixture, with which no one can compete. At least that's what the old man whispered in my ear.

And I believe him. I feel a power inside me that is just waiting to be unleashed and set free. A superhuman power that can compete with anything and everything. Zhan is my creator, my partner and husband and in him flows the blood and power of three strong vampires.

When his biological mother was attacked by this strong vampire at that time, his poison also passed to Zhan, who was still in his mother's womb at that time. And when his parents found him and gave him to drink from their blood, he also absorbed their strong poison. He is therefore something very special. No wonder the council wants him so badly!

And when Zhan bit me, the poison passed to me. When he gave me some of his blood to drink, the poison of his parents also passed on to me. I felt my powers almost explode. And now this hungry dark self inside me is waiting for me to release it. I feel it scratching inside and wanting to get out.

The day will soon be here when I can release these dark powers. And then there will be nothing left of Meng Yao and Su She!

When Yibo was so completely in his thoughts, Zhan woke up and watched him. He smiled and knew exactly what was going through Yibo's mind. "Very soon you will be able to fight." Said Zhan and handed Yibo one of the thermoses filled with blood.

"Oh thank you." Replied Yibo, snapped out of his thoughts.

"You feel your powers growing don't you? And your dark self wants to come out and start."

"Mhm. You're right."

"Don't worry. When we get back to the castle, we'll go to the training room. You can train your transformation there."

"Do I have to train it?"

"Yes. Because you don't want to transform uncontrollably. That happens more often in the beginning. So you should train it."

"Okay."

"In the forest you can train your speed. Believe me, it's not that easy. Because once you start running, it can happen quickly that you lose control and stumble. But don't worry, I'll help you with everything."

"I'm glad you want to teach me everything. Um, what do you think your parents will say when they find out we're already mated?"

"I assume they already know. Information like that spreads fast. Even we vampires have a kind of network through which all important information is spread. And that an assassin is now one of us is very important news."

"I understand. But will they be angry? They were going to give a party for us, weren't they?"

"They won't be angry. And they can still give the celebration."

"And how do you think your father will react when he finds out I killed Maxi?"

"Indeed, Maxi was special. But, she was not irreplaceable. He can recreate her anytime. Therefore, he probably won't say anything. Especially not if you explain to him what happened. He'll understand."

"I hope so."

"Don't worry. My father was only in such a bad mood because he was worried about the vampire murders. He was also grieving for his deceased mentor. He saved my dad's life back then and taught him everything he knew. And someone, who must have been Meng Yao, killed him. No wonder he's in a bad mood."

"Ah now I understand."

"Yeah. My mom told me about it when we went to my uncle's house."

"Well, all the more reason to kill Meng Yao."

"Right."

"How do you know him anyway? Did he also go to the vampire school back then where you were bullied so much?"

"I know him from college. So an academy for vampires to study. He always played the weak and vulnerable. But then one time I saw him kill another student in cold blood. And honestly, I think it was him who sent me the threatening letters. I don't think it was ever about a seat on the council for him. Maybe he just wanted to kill the only witness to his murder."

"So he never intended to be a council member?"

"Mhhh, I don't know. It's hard for me to judge. But I know he would never have been elected to the council. Which is probably because of his family. I know very little about his family. But I do know that they were all family when they were humans. They were attacked by a group of vampires at some point, and they were all saved by the Council. They became vampires themselves. The Council hoped they would be an asset to us. But it soon turned out that they were uncontrollable and three of them were eliminated by the Council within a year. That's all I know."

"How many more are there of his family?"

"As far as I know, his mother and his little brother. However, the little brother is a bit mentally retarded and a real coward. In the academy at that time, it was said that he had only turned twice in his entire life. And that was because he was afraid of himself as a vampire. I guess he didn't understand that was himself and claimed he saw a horrible monster in the mirror that wanted to eat him."

"Oh. So he didn't realize who and what he was?"

"Mmm, I suppose so."

"Was your time at the academy as bad as your time at school?"

"Haha, no. Quite the opposite."

"That's fine then. We'll be home soon. Do you want to rest first or do you want to train right then?"

"I think resting first wouldn't be bad."

"Good, then we can celebrate our second wedding night tonight."

"Huh? Again?"

"Yes. Remember Zhan, from today on, we'll do it every day."

"Every day? What do you mean by that? Really every day?"

"Every day means every day."

"Um... okay."

"This is going to be great, trust me."

"I have no doubt about that BoBo."

"BoBo? I told you to call me Yibo."

"You can forget it. We're mated now, and that's why I'm calling you BoBo."

"All right. But only when we're alone. Because that sounds like I'm a little boy."

"Well, you are."

"Hey, I may not be as old as you. But I'm a grown man."

"Mmm, my husband."

"Exactly!" Yibo replied, laughing.

When they reached the castle shortly after, they walked together to the front door, where Yibo lifted his Zhan and carried him over the threshold. And to their surprise, the servants were already waiting for them and told them that the two masters had ordered a new room to be prepared for the couple. A room for a married couple! It was then clear that Zhan's parents knew about the mating and were happy for the two.
