Chapter 272: The reasons (1)
Shortly after, Matt returned to the room, but before he could enter, the door opened. Alice had prepared herself differently and looked slightly desperate, somewhat haggard, and even frightened. This side of her was more evident because she was wearing her natural face.
Matt was surprised to see her, and she was stunned when she saw him standing there. But, at those moments, several hallway doors opened, causing Matt to quickly push her into the room and slam the door shut behind him with a bang.
Matt glared at Alice. "Why are you coming out with your real face? That's dangerous, Alice!" Although he shouted at her, he looked deeply concerned. He didn't know what he would do if they found out Alice was a vampire, for that would put them in mortal danger.
But Alice ignored all this. She was so stunned to see Matt arrive that she didn't even notice she was wearing her natural face and didn't even hear what he had said to her.
Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, and the despair and fear she felt earlier left her body as she rushed toward him to hug him.
"Matt!" Her eyes suddenly began to tear up, unable to contain herself, pushing Matt a little to slam against the door.
Matt was surprised when he saw her crying like that and noticed that all the worry she had a moment ago had left her body. Somehow, her embrace felt comforting, but the trembling in Alice's body told him that she had gone through countless strange sensations and feelings during these hours.
That she had felt fear.
She quickly looked at him to make sure it was him and raised her hand to touch his face, pulling off the mask he wore.
Then she smiled after seeing that beautiful male face in front of her. "Matt..." She touched his face as if she wanted to know whether it was him.
But suddenly, she came back to herself and dropped to the ground. "Matt... I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know it's my fault you're in a state of mind like this, I'm sorry!" Her crying increased as she said that and fell to her knees.
Her crying and the way she spoke indicated that she didn't know how to apologize or what to say. She didn't know how to broach the subject; all she knew was that she should apologize sincerely.
Matt was surprised by this and bent down with her. "What are you apologizing for? It's no big deal, right? You don't need to cry like that either."
Alice shook her head several times. "No, Matt. I know, you're not a man who likes to have multiple wives, you're unusual in the vampire race and I don't know how you do it. All in all though, even though I know you have a wife, I have been persistent time and time again with my feelings. Always wanting to get you to accept me, but not caring about your state of mind or how you would look afterwards.
Yesterday was my fault, I got carried away and for that I must apologize. I'm sorry, sincerely."
No matter how much she apologized, she felt it wasn't enough. "I will do and be whatever you want from now on. Let me serve you or whatever you want." She said softly as she finished what she wanted to say.
Matt sighed after seeing this and lifted her face carefully.
"You don't need to apologize. I don't consider it your fault either. Even now I don't know if that was a mistake or something unavoidable, so you don't need to get like that." He said and grabbed one of Alice's hands to show it to herself.
"Besides, I think there's something good that came out of it." He said, smiling. Alice's hands had turned into the Vampire Claws without her realizing it.
It happened from the moment she saw it and even scratched Matt's face a little, but only now did she realize this and was stunned.
"Vampire claws?" In shock, she moved her hand towards her, but that's when she noticed that there was some blood on her claws.
'This?' She then looked up to look at Matt and noticed that his face was a bit wounded, claw-marked.
She was stunned and trembled for a brief moment. Then, unconsciously, she drew back her claws and raised her hand.
"Matt... I... I'm sorry." Unable to find another word to say, she could only gently run her hand over Matt's cheeks to wipe away some of the blood.
Matt grabbed her hand and smiled at her. "It's okay, it's nothing serious. It'll heal in a little while. Come on, let's go inside." He replied.
Soon after, they sat on the couch in the main room, facing each other.
Alice didn't know how to apologize, and based on what she had decided, she wanted to stay away from Matt.
'It's better that I leave these feelings and go back to my normal nature...' She thought, with decisions. But Matt didn't like this.
Somehow, seeing Alice sitting across from him didn't feel the same. Normally, she would be leaning against him, but he kept silent about it.
"Alice, I have a question. A moment ago, you said I was unusual in the vampire race. What do you mean?" he asked doubtfully.
"Don't you know? Don't you know why male vampires always have multiple wives? It's also why there are more female vampires than male at the present time." Her words left Matt a little stunned.
"Do vampires always have multiple wives? Your father, too?"
Alice's eyes widened with great surprise after hearing this from him. "Don't you know, Matt?" she asked in shock.
But it was a question of surprise, nothing more; she wasn't expecting an answer, so she spoke as soon as she finished saying it.
"My father has more than 10 wives. And I've heard there are some vampires with 100 wives. Although there are vampires who can hold back, and they are the ones who have spread that monogamy is better, but the reality is, if we followed those teachings, we would all die."
"This is due to the vampiric nature. We are feral in nature, and the blood is feral in nature and too proactive."
"Wild nature and proactive blood mix, causing the vampire always to have to lighten the accumulated sexual energy too often. One of the ways to lighten it is through a bloody partner. When I suck your blood, some of your sexual energy is being consumed by me and vice versa."
"But it's only a part of it. We women have a bit of an advantage in this because we can lighten it a little bit by ourselves. But not all of it, just a part of it. But men are not as independent in that respect as we are for one reason: the Yang energy that characterizes them."
"This is a third energy that mixes with wild nature and blood, which makes a man who doesn't lighten his sexual energy with another woman more likely to lose control, falling into wild instincts... It's dangerous." She said softly. When she remembered some things from the past, she even trembled slightly, and although Matt wanted to speak, she didn't notice and spoke again.
