I Became A Zompirewolf

In the dead of the cold night, an unexpected guest arrived on Ashton's doorstep. It also happened to be the night in Livan before Ashton left for Contingency to take care of the mess there.

Everything considered Ashton's request to meet wasn't something the lady could have overlooked. Especially considering how gloomy he had been in the last few days.

Things have been a bit turbulent around the region's lord in the last week. His temper had improved, but otherwise, it felt like Ashton wasn't himself.

Always being lost in his thoughts, being absentminded and most importantly, not focusing on his succubus were amongst Anna's list of complaints.

Anna had had the feeling ever since that night in Tartarus. After what happened to his father and then to Avalina, it wasn't a surprise he had distanced himself from everyone.

That's why it was unexpected when someone appeared to talk with him while everyone else was in a deep sleep.

"What are you doing here?" Anna asked Mera, who happened to be dressed below her 'status'.

"You should ask your boyfriend about that..." Mera whispered, "Now, if you don't mind, can I get inside? It's freezing out here!"

"I'm a werewolf too, you know? We don't feel cold, but... sure, come in." Anna replied before realising what Mera was wearing underneath her coat, "Next time you're feeling cold, try putting on something more than your lingerie..."

"Maybe your boyfriend shouldn't be calling over women in the dead of night." Mera replied, "But your point has been duly noted!"

Whether human or a mutant, a woman's intuition was always on high alert regarding her man. Anna was no exception to nature's rule either, and after seeing Mera in her loose clothes, her feminine urge to slap the bitch was at an all-time high.

Mera seemed to notice it as well. But instead of acting her age, she decided it was better to play with Anna.

"No need to get jealous, Ms Fiery beauty!" She mumbled, "I might have taken his first kiss, but you're the one who took his first time. The way I see it, you'll always have the upper hand on me!"

Anna's face turned red, partially due to anger and partly due to embarrassment. Having already decided to put Mera in her place, she was more than happy to act on her urges. Unfortunately, fate had a slightly different opinion.

"The way you talk is crude, considering-"

"Anna, don't tell me you're getting jealous of a granny?" Ashton arrived there in the nick of time, "A good-looking granny, but a granny nonetheless."

[I'd bang her!]

'So desperate to get rid of that v-card, eh?'

[...just sharing my opinion.]

'Good point, but didn't ask, don't care, and you'll be forever a virgin if you don't leave my body.'

[As if I'm the one stopping myself from leaving this shitty body of yours!]

'Good, because I'm going to solve that problem of yours.'

[Can't wait to get rid of me, eh?]

'You have no idea.'

Ashton had a precise reason behind his decision: his father's departing words. If he couldn't trust Astaroth, the sooner he got separated, the better it would be for him.

While Ashton was busy chatting with Astaroth, Anna tried her best not to laugh at Ashton's comment. Aside from that, she was quite pleased to see him returning to how he was before.

As for Mera, well, no woman in the existence of earth would take kindly such a comment. But at that moment, even she was happy for Ashton. After all, it had been days since Ashton seemed somewhat cheerful.

Maybe her decision to wear some lingerie wasn't wrong after all! Even though it didn't have the exact effect, she was hoping for.

'Oh well, I guess it's fine as long as he's happy.' Mera thought before parting her lips, "I guess you didn't call me to crack jokes at my expense?"

"As much as I would like to do that for the sake of old times, you're correct." Ashton replied after offering Mera a seat next to him, "Actually, I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

At this point, Anna was dying to know what was so crucial that Ashton had to call a bimbo bitch to their home at night when he could have used that time on her!

"Given proper tools and time, would you be able to create my clone or not?"

Ashton's question was followed by unsurprising silence. Neither of the women present there could make sense of his words. Why would he, of all people, want a clone of himself?

"Even with Avalina's help, it might not be possible. Not to mention the lack of resources-" Mera came up with a neutral answer, but Ashton wasn't going to leave it at that.

"So you're saying if you had the world's cutting-edge tech and resources at your disposal, you'd be able to do it, correct?"

"Yes, but without Avalina-"

"Alright, that should be enough." Ashton interrupted her, "That's all I wanted to know. Thanks for your help, and you can leave now."

Saying so, he left the living room while Anna and Mera were too stunned to do anything.

"Oi succubus, what have you been feeding him?" Mera eventually asked.

"Well, he enjoys eating me out, but I'm sure that's not why he's acting like that." Anna beamed as she replied as it was now Mera's turn to turn red.

"No wonder... he needs to change his diet now. Why don't you leave us alone and see if it works? You'd be surprised what a change of... scenery can do!"

Mera fired back before planting a kiss on Anna's cheeks, "Don't worry, little one, I'll never be able to steal him from you even if I tried with all my might. That said, I should leave before that brat puts my ass out, not that I'd mind that."

Mera took a final jab before hurrying away.

"That bitch!" Anna growled, "I might just hate her more than Ashton does!"
