The sky was gray, and Zach was on the steering wheel with one hand and the other out of the truck window. The cold rain didn't make the vampire feel anything, and the raindrops spread over the pale and smooth skin, and then quickly slid down. Zach looked deep into the woods, and in the misty light and shadow, something was approaching this way.

The black umbrella was poked out of the car window, Zach opened the umbrella, and Benjamin stood under the umbrella with the unsteady Matthew on one shoulder, and took the towel that Zach handed over.

"How's it going? Did you two kill any animals?" asked the vampire, holding an umbrella in one hand, leaning half of his body on the eaves of the car window with a playful smile.

"Well, the wolves have nothing else to do but hunt down the animals. Benjamin glanced at Zach and tugged at the corners of his mouth. This kind of racial joke with no malicious intentions, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Benjamin took a towel and quickly wiped the rain and mud off his body.

"And what did you do?" Zach was genuinely curious, just as a mouse would wonder what a cat was doing when it wasn't scratching itself. Vampires are generally honest on the full moon, and they don't look for death to observe the activities of werewolves.

Matthew wrapped in a towel, still uncomfortable with being naked in front of Zach. But after the transformation, his repulsion towards the vampire has subsided, and Benjamin told him that after half a day, the magnified senses will also disappear. The coldness of the rain made Matthew shiver, "I, I don't remember anything. Glancing at his alpha, he was relieved to find that the other party had no expression.

Benjamin pursed his lips, took the umbrella in Zack's hand in one hand, opened the rear door, and pushed Matthew up. I spun around and sat in the passenger seat.

The werewolf's muscular body tossed and turned in the spacious space of the co-pilot, twisting and breaking his limbs impatiently, and putting clean clothes on his body. The original white towel was covered in mud. It was crumpled up and thrown behind the carriage. It can be seen from Benjamin's unhappy expression that werewolves hate rain.

Zach laughed and started the van and drove towards the Grande House. In the back seat, after a while, the sound of Matthew's steady breathing could be heard, although it was not completely fainted like the first time. But apparently for the young wolf, transformation is a consuming thing.

Benjamin tilted his head to look at Matthew, who was already asleep with his body tilted, and then turned to Zach, "It." Benjamin gestured to himself, but Zach had realized he was referring to his wolf body, "and didn't like Matthew." ”

The spice of Sibella, in addition to keeping Benjamin in the full moon cycle from being dangerous to Zach, has a side effect. Keep Benjamin awake in the transformation.

Zach raised an eyebrow, he wasn't quite sure what Benjamin was saying, "What do you mean?"

"I can feel it. Benjamin frowned, "When it looks at Matthew, it's disgust and disgust. It seems to be disappointed. ”

Zach's fingers tapped on the steering wheel, thinking, "Is this normal? I mean, when you used to look at your own wolves." What does it feel like?"

That's the problem.

Benjamin shook his head, his face strange. "I couldn't feel what it was thinking before, we were always fighting for control of our bodies, and when we were fighting, there were no superfluous thoughts at all. It's absolutely dominant when the moon is full, and it's nice if I can remember one or two images. ”

Zach also shook his head helplessly, "You know. That's what I was worried about. You start to want to understand the idea of it. It doesn't have to. ”

Benjamin pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Back at the Grande House, Benjamin immediately saw James's car parked in the backyard and looked around, but he didn't smell James.

Zach laughed and explained what happened last night. Surprisingly, Benjamin knew a lot about Wednesday's game night, "I'll go with you next week." ”

Zach thought about it for a long time, and then remembered that Benjamin had talked a lot to Fitz when he came to install the phone. The vampire was a little disappointed, obviously Benjamin's size would cause a sense of oppression, but every time the two brothers of the Grande House walked together, Benjamin was always the one who made people easy to get close to.

Zach shook his head helplessly, the old gentlemanly spirit was dead. His well-regulated behavior and appearance were rarely appreciated in this era.

Zach is wrong, there are still a lot of appreciations, but they are usually in the opposite sex who have some life experience. They were able to understand the rarity of Zach's thoughtfulness.

"Zach, you have a message. Louise woke up Matthew, who was sitting at the table in a daze, and handed him a large plate of sandwiches, but looked at Zach with a defiant look in her eyes, "Someone invited you and Benjamin to a birthday party." ”

"Who?" Zach found it interesting to observe Louise's expression, and he could always find other meanings underneath the words, such as the current little vinegar.

"Amanda. Louise raised an eyebrow.

"I haven't heard of it. Zach wisely showed a puzzled expression and replied dryly. In fact, he had already remembered the young caretaker beside Lady Quinn.

Louise smiled and shook her head, if a man would forget the name of a woman, it would not be a gentleman's behavior. But she was pleased with Zach's expression, "Well, at your table, she left you a message." Louise had already sat down for breakfast, "I called last night, but you didn't wake me up this morning." ”

Zach laughed, "I came back too early to bear it." ”

Louise blinked, a satisfied smile on her face. Who said that the gentlemanly spirit is dead.

Back in the office with Benjamin with a plate of sandwiches, Zach also served breakfast. Finger unfolded the message left last night, Louise's handwriting is very beautiful, probably because she grew up in the Holy Bishop's Patriarchate, and what she saw were scriptures in ancient Chinese characters. Her words also have a hint of antiquity, and she will habitually pull out a curved arc at the end of the word.

The message was simple, stating that today was Amanda's birthday and inviting the two gentlemen of Grande to participate in the pie. Since the decision was made on an ad hoc basis and the scale was not large, no official invitation card was issued, and I hope that no matter whether I can participate or not, I will call back to inform you.

Of course, a sentence was added at the end that it was allowed to bring a partner. Apparently Louise deliberately confirmed.

Zach thought for a moment, he didn't think that a good impression of a few moments would give him the privilege of being able to attend a private party (the message says, it's not large). But if you count the life-saving grace, it's different.

Zach thought about it, not thinking that Mrs. Quinn would reveal that.

"Are you going?" Zach asked Benjamin.

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant expression.

Zach was helpless, picked up the phone, and dialed the number on the message.

"Zach. Zach put on a good mood expression, but his ears were attentive to the sound in the earpiece.

"Ahh

"Zach is fine. Zach smiled and shook his head, "Why, it's my honor to be invited." ”

"Then you'll come!" The voice in the earpiece fell silent after a while, but there was a lot of breathing, and it was clear that there was more than one person around the earpiece.

Zach raised an eyebrow, thinking about the reason, "Of course. It's just that I may not be able to prepare a gift for you. ”

"Oh, that's okay!" the voice on the other side of the earpiece was excited, "it's not a big party, it's just a small, temporary one, right at my house! ”

Zach blinked and seemed to understand something, "Can I bring my girlfriend?"

"Uh...... Of course. So can Mr. Benjamin Grande. The voices in the earpiece were visibly disappointed, and the ambient sounds around them were noisy, but one could still hear someone with more restraint trying to silence everyone.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be, he's single. That's settled. Zach didn't have any extra thoughts, smiled and nodded, "We'll be there on time." ”

"Yes, yes. See you that night. The address is xxx. ”

Zach took out his pen, quickly jotted down the address, said goodbye again, and hung up the phone.

Benjamin shook his head slightly, and he felt unpleasant when he saw Zach's smug appearance. He knew that Zach's 'single' was deliberate, and he was inexplicably pulled into the water, "You're making trouble for yourself." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "What's the matter." Don't you wonder where those people in the West End are coming from?"

Benjamin pursed his lips, he had realized that Grande and the West End were involved, and the Grande House had nothing to do with the ordinary life it once had.

There's nothing wrong with Zach's thoughts, and being able to understand the other person better won't at least not be too passive. And to be honest, the position where the Grande House is now is already complicated after adding the gray professional circle brought by Yuno, it doesn't matter if it's a little more complicated. The figurative description is that the hermit has entered the world, and the water is no longer clear.

The next thing to consider was the gift, and Zach didn't allow himself to go there empty-handed. However, the gift should not be too practical, it is something that is really needed, which will make people misunderstand. It can't be space-bound, which makes people feel perfunctory.

Wine is the most appropriate thing, but if you smoke a bottle of wine in the wine cabinet of the Grande House and send it to it, it will definitely cause a commotion.

So on this Thursday when it was still raining, Zach was going to travel again. Choose a wine for Amanda that is enough to gain understanding after disappointing the other person. In layman's terms, it means that a good person card full of sincerity.

"Hurry up, you're going to come with me. Zach urged Benjamin, who was munching on a sandwich.

"What for?" said Benjamin, frowning.

"We can't really go empty-handed to buy alcohol. It's her birthday. ”

"Don't you have it?" Benjamin waved impatiently, "Don't tell me you poured out the bottle last time Seth sent it." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, remembering the paper bag that had been stuffed in the corner of the basement the next day, which was the General's mind. It seems that the 'general' really needs to be thanked for his thoughtfulness. (To be continued......)
