The Lycan's Partner

In this world, there are three groups; that are in the darkness and those in the light of the world. The three groups in question are 91% ordinary humans and the other two groups, which are in the dark, 7% werewolves and 2% vampires. Thousands of years ago, vampires and werewolves became the rulers of civilization, but the development of humans, which was much faster than the other two species, led to the extinction of vampires and werewolves. The hunt for vampires and werewolves continues to occur on a large scale until leaving only a few of them. The surviving vampires and werewolves chose to hide from humans until, after thousands of years had passed, humans had forgotten the existence of the other species. Werewolves can coexist with humans and have offspring with humans, but vampires cannot have offspring, so the number of vampires continues to decline. Werewolves have a life span like humans, while vampires have a very long life, so it can be said that vampires are immortal beings. The small number of werewolves, coupled with the low birth rate of werewolves, makes werewolves begin to marry and have offspring with humans, but the offspring of marriages between werewolves and humans produce offspring that no longer have the characteristics of a werewolf. So, over time, a phenomenon emerged where werewolves who were born as men could give birth. They were referred to as female werewolves. Female werewolf is a mutation that occurs among werewolves caused by the decline in the werewolf population that has existed for hundreds to thousands of years. Since the appearance of these female werewolves, they seem to be a light among werewolves, because the child born by this female werewolf will be born into a very tough werewolf, or commonly referred to as alpha. This female werewolf was originally intended to be used as a tool to increase the number of werewolves, but if it is usually the male wolf who marks the female, it turns out that it is the female werewolf who marks the male, so that they can only relate to the one male. Ethan Abelardo, who thought he was an ordinary male werewolf, grew older and finally found out that he was a female werewolf. His parents, who had passed away when he was a teenager, made him have to grow up strong and raise his younger brother on his own. On the other hand, he also had to hide his identity as a female werewolf to strengthen his position among the werewolves in order to protect his younger brother. Even his younger brother, Eden, did not know that his older brother was a female werewolf. For years, Ethan hid his identity as a female werewolf. Until one day, his identity as a female werewolf is revealed in front of someone he has met for the first time and is none other than a vampire. From that day on, his life changed completely. Ethan couldn't go back to living his life as usual again. The sun was almost completely gone, Ethan was staring up at the trees from his balcony. Today, Ethan will meet his younger brother's lover, Eden. Ethan felt his heart mix, and his brother, who was a werewolf, fell in love with a vampire. Ethan does not have a bad view of vampires, but Ethan is afraid and worried about his younger brother if he has a relationship with a vampire because, currently, the relationship between vampires and werewolves is not good. Ethan had already talked to Eden to stay away and end his relationship with his vampire lover, but Eden refused, so Ethan couldn't help but have to accept it. Ethan, who was daydreaming on the balcony of his room, was startled by the arrival of someone who had suddenly been behind him. Ethan immediately prepared to defend himself and turned to face the person. A man who looked like a man in his late 30s with black hair and blue eyes and was taller than Ethan with honey and pale skin. Even though his face is mature, he doesn't look as old as someone who is almost 40 years old. Ethan was mesmerized by the man's very sharp and strong aura. The man glanced at Ethan and smiled. Ethan was shocked and mumbled, "Vampire...". "Oh, you look like my son's lover. You must be Ethan Abelardo, right?", said the man with a smile on his face. Ethan is confused, but he remembers that Eden's lover is the son of the vampire leader, "Aeturnus?!". "Oh, well, a lot of people call me by that name," answered Aeturnus, who looked at Ethan up and down. Ethan felt uncomfortable, but after knowing that the vampire in front of him was Aeturnus, who was supposed to meet him for dinner tonight, Ethan immediately tried not to show his discomfort and vigilance. Ethan smiled and said, "Pardon me, Mr. Aeturnus. I didn't recognize you because I didn't expect that a vampire leader would visit me like this". Aeturnus smiled a little, then with his hand, he brushed away the leaves that were flying in the wind towards Ethan's face. Ethan was shocked, but the smile on Aeturnus' face made him just blink. Aeturnus held the dried leaf and said, "When I heard that my son fell into the arms of a werewolf, what I thought was a way to kill the werewolf...". Ethan was so shocked by Aeturnus' words that it made Ethan unknowingly step back, but Ethan realized the look in Aeturnus' eyes on him and finally stopped his steps. Aeturnus noticed Ethan's small movement and understood that Ethan thought it was dangerous, but Aeturnus just smiled and continued, "But when I saw you, I think I know why my son fell into a werewolf's arms. Are all werewolves like you?". Ethan didn't understand what Aeturnus was saying and said, "Werewolf or not, I think love isn't just about race. You don't have to worry, Eden is a good and passionate child. If Eden likes something, Eden will forever like it and will take very good care of it." Aeturnus smiled at Ethan's words about his younger brother and replied a little sarcastically, "Did you know that forever is impossible?". Aeturnus stepped closer to Ethan and whispered in Ethan's ear, which made Ethan shiver and uncomfortable, "Forever, not only from as long as your brother lives, but also forever for my son to live. If your brother is really going to love my son for life, then he must live as long as my son lives". Ethan widened his eyes in surprise at Aeturnus' words. Ethan understands what Aeturnus means, which means that Eden must become a vampire if he wants to be with his vampire lover. Ethan felt uncomfortable in the position where Aeturnus hugged him even though his body was not in contact with Aeturnus at all, but because Aeturnus was so close to him that he could feel his breath on his skin, Ethan closed his eyes and pushed Aeturnus' shoulders away from him. Aeturnus backed away from Ethan and said, "Female werewolf?". Ethan was shocked and immediately walked away from Aeturnus. Aeturnus smiled at Ethan's reaction and said, "Hah, I didn't expect that after so long I finally met a female werewolf again". Ethan was getting worried because of Aeturnus' words like that. Aeturnus smiled and said, "No need to worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, it's just that I have a few requests from you. Well, maybe you can help me to ease the relationship between your brother and my son?". Ethan was surprised and said, "What do you want?". Aeturnus chuckled as if finding his victory, "Haha, I know that you really love your brother even though you seem indifferent and cold to him. If you agree, then we can continue our conversation later when everything is ready". Ethan looked at Aeturnus sharply and said, "Okay then I'll also think about it again when everything is ready". Aeturnus laughed and thought that he had not been entertained like this in a long time. Aeturnus looked into the distance and said, "They're almost there". Ethan sighed and said, "Let's wait for them in the living room". Aeturnus agreed and followed Ethan, who walked first to the living room. Several days had passed, and neither Ethan nor Aeturnus had seen each other since their first meeting. Ethan went about his day as usual without thinking about Aeturnus or what he said at the time. Until unwittingly, the problems between werewolves and vampires have reached their peak. A meeting between the three species will soon be held. Ethan was in his study, he was sitting in his chair and facing the window, looking at the blue sky that looked so bright. Ethan thought back to what the minister of defense had said about him coming and representing the ministry of defense along with keeping the humans who would come as representatives as well. Ethan is a werewolf. His existence in the Ministry of Defense is like none other because he wants to be in a neutral position and in this position he can take care of his younger brother who works in the special investigation unit. In addition, it is also because of his father's word and desire for him to remain in this position. Ethan was lost in thought that he didn't notice someone coming. Someone with long hair tied up and a bouquet of lilies in his hands made the man look so charming with such an elegant aura. "What are you daydreaming about?" said the man walking behind Ethan's chair. Ethan was surprised by his arrival and immediately stood up from his seat and turned around with an alert, "When are you coming in, Mr. Aeturnus?". "Just now," said Aeturnus, who grabbed Ethan's shoulder and pressed him to sit back down in his chair. Ethan couldn't fight back and sat back in his chair. The beautiful lilies were placed on his lap. Aeturnus smiled and said, "I just woke up and remembered that we had made an agreement so I came to see you because there's no way you can find me". Ethan was silent but his hands slowly caressed the bouquet of lilies that looked very beautiful. He really likes lilies and always puts a vase of lilies in his room and also in his study. For him, lilies are always a reminder of the warmth of his mother, who can no longer be by his side. Receiving lilies from someone else made him feel strange and awkward. This was the first time for him to receive a bouquet of lilies from someone else. A feeling as if warmth came to his cold heart. Aeturnus looked at Ethan's face and always knew every change in Ethan's expression. He smiled and said, "Can we talk about our agreement now?". Ethan tilted his head and looked at Aeturnus who was standing in front of him, "Hm, please have a seat". Aeturnus chose not to sit down and instead leaned his body on Ethan's desk and just smiled. Ethan sighed and said, "Thanks for the flowers". Aeturnus let out a small chuckle and said, "I am not choosing the wrong flowers, right?". Ethan nodded slightly and agreed, "Hm". "So, what do you want from me?" asked Ethan, who wanted to get straight to the main point of their meeting. Aeturnus looked at him meaningfully, his eyes fixed on his flat stomach. The smile that looked sly in Ethan's eyes had its own meaning. His palm slowly touched Ethan's shoulder. His words startled and made Ethan a little stunned, "You... hmm to be more precise with your body". Ethan, who widened his eyes, immediately pushed Aeturnus' hand away from his shoulder. Ethan stood up angrily, "What do you mean?". Aeturnus grabbed Ethan's shoulder again and pushed him slowly but firmly enough to make Ethan sit back down. He said with his face still normal, "I just want you to do an experiment for me with that body and I guarantee that you won't die from it". Ethan looked at Aeturnus sharply but he tried to contain his emotions and said more calmly, "What experiment are you referring to?". Aeturnus stood up and walked to the window behind Ethan, saying, "You know that vampires can't have offspring of their own?". Ethan felt very uncomfortable and somehow felt threatened if Aeturnus was behind him as if he would be attacked in the blink of an eye. He turned his chair back so he could face Aeturnus and stare at his back facing him. Aeturnus continued, "A few years ago... um maybe hundreds of years ago, I did research on vampire fertility and the possibility for vampires to have offspring of their own but the research didn't produce the results I wanted. The vampires can't have offspring with other vampires, as well as vampires and humans. Ethan listened carefully to Aeturnus' every word and stared at Aeturnus' thin lips as he turned to face Ethan. Those thin and pale lips spoke with an elegant longing, "But a few years ago, I discovered that there is a certain vampire who has a fairly high fertility rate compared to other vampires and if they meet someone with very high fertility, then it's possible there will be a possibility for them to have vampire offspring. I have developed a drug to increase the fertility of vampires although it can only be used by male vampires and fertility enhancers for women. I have tried it with humans but all failed. Only one woman managed to get pregnant of many other women. And that too failed because the fetus could not grow". Ethan was so impressed by Aeturnus' words that he was sure that it was certain that Aeturnus' research was not research that was only carried out in a short period of time and definitely required a lot of effort. "Because of that, I need you. As a female werewolf, it has the highest fertility of all species. I want you to have a child with a vampire", said Aeturnus, who looked at Ethan seriously. Ethan was immediately stunned and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ethan said in disbelief, "What are you saying? Me with a vampire? That's impossible!". "It's impossible for me to sleep with someone I don't know and is a vampire", said Ethan, who clearly refused. Aeturnus leaned his body against the glass window and said, "Actually. I have some other experiments. I'm sure your little brother is very suitable for my experiment and he will definitely want to do it for Aaron". Ethan immediately sighed and said, " I will do it, but I don't want to sleep with just any vampire, and anything you are going to do to me you have to say it first". "There are several potential vampires, one of which you already know," said Aeturnus, smiling at Ethan. "Who is it?" asked Ethan suspiciously. "Your brother's men, Tian and I", replied Aeturnus, smiling. Ethan stood up from his seat and said, "I'm sure Tian wouldn't want to sleep with anyone other than that vampire envoy". "Apparently you know quite well too", Aeturnus replied with a chuckle. "...", Ethan just rolled his eyes at Aeturnus' words. Aeturnus, instead, smiled seeing the expression on Ethan's face, and said to himself, "It's a shame if he sleeps with other vampires, at least a vampire-like Aaron, is the most appropriate". "What do you think? Very suspicious," said Ethan, walking towards the door with his bag in his hand. "Just think who is the most suitable to be your partner", said Aeturnus, who walked after Ethan. "An ordinary woman is enough," said Ethan, who was about to open the door to his office. Aeturnus smiled and said, "I'll come back later, see you next time". Ethan nodded and, in an instant, he saw the blood that quickly covered Aeturnus's body, and then it all disappeared as if it was just an illusion. Ethan thought about every word of Aeturnus so he couldn't close his eyes because his mind was full of Aeturnus' words. He sighed and took off his blanket and walked out of his room. The house is big but very quiet, the workers have returned to their rooms or some have returned to their respective homes. The guards on guard were only at the gate of the house and at the guard post. Ethan went into the kitchen and made a hot cup of coffee. Ethan was not only thinking about his words and agreement with Aeturnus, but he was also thinking about the meeting that would be held this week. The Werewolf leader who is currently in power is also not an easy person to predict, not to mention his background, which makes Ethan feel uneasy, even though the current Werewolf leader used to know his parents very well and was quite helpful after his parents were not around, but he felt that the werewolf leader now made him feel worried and uneasy every time he saw him as if there was something he was keeping. Not to mention his smile and kindness to him, which seemed to only cover the cruelty behind him, made Ethan feel uneasy. Ethan is even more worried when he has to bring his younger brother Eden to the werewolf leader. Ethan felt there was a hidden purpose and intention that the werewolf leader didn't say to him when he asked him to bring him to Eden. Ethan was lost in his serious thoughts until the wrinkles between his brows appeared. Ethan sighed and tried to think of various possibilities so he could come up with the right solution. His thoughts kept going until, unconsciously, the hot water that was flowing into his coffee cup was full until it overflowed and hit his hand. Ethan was so shocked that he immediately let go of the coffee cup and accidentally threw it and it broke. Ethan turned off the water that came out of the dispenser and was about to kneel to pick up the broken cup, but someone first stopped his hands, which were already reddened by the hot water. “Your hand is injured”, the voice that had been ringing in his mind for a long time sounded right beside him. Ethan turned his head and saw Aeturnus, who was wearing white pajamas and a knitted outer, who was standing beside him. Aeturnus grabbed Ethan's hand and took him to the sink to wash his hot-water hands. "I came because I remembered that I forgot to give you the medicine I said this afternoon, but I didn't expect to see you daydreaming in the dark to burn your own hands," said Aeturnus, who washed Ethan's hands with water. Ethan was still silent. Aeturnus glanced at him and said, "Where's the medicine box?". Ethan withdrew his hand and replied, "No need to treat it, it's just a small wound". Ethan turned his back on Aeturnus and walked away to his room, ignoring Aeturnus and the cups that were still scattered on the floor. Ethan, who turned his back on Aeturnus, looked a little red. He was surprised by the sudden arrival of Aeturnus, even though before Aeturnus always came suddenly, but tonight he felt very strange. Aeturnus followed Ethan up to his room and said, "Hey, what are you thinking? Your hand... your hand needs to be treated, or it will leave scars". Ethan, who was walking in front of Aeturnus on the stairs, suddenly stopped and turned to Aeturnus. He looked at his uncertainty as if something he thought about the person in front of him confused him. Aeturnus looked at Ethan seriously and noticed every change in his expression. He was silent, waiting for Ethan to speak, but not a word was spoken. Ethan turned and went into his room. He didn't close the door at all, to wait and allowed Aeturnus to enter his room. Aeturnus entered the room and closed the door to Ethan's room slowly. Ethan sat on the side of the bed and suddenly said slowly, "What you said this afternoon, I've been thinking about it again and I'm sure to do it, but I also need your help. You have to do something for me". Aeturnus looked at Ethan, who lowered his head and said, "Didn't I guarantee your brother's safety and freedom?". Ethan kept his head down and said as if he didn't hear what Aeturnus said, "I want you to come to the meeting this week and ensure that nothing goes wrong during the meeting, and you have to ensure my brother's safety". Aeturnus smirked and said, "Is that all?". Ethan couldn't believe that Aeturnus answered him that easily, so he immediately looked up at Aeturnus, "...". Aeturnus smiled a little, then handed over the medicine, "I will do it, so from now on you take this medicine every day". Ethan took the medicine and examined the medicine. Aeturnus saw it and said, "The medicine will increase your fertility". Ethan nodded and put the medicine in his nightstand drawer. Aeturnus asked, "So do you want me to choose your partner, or do you want to choose your own? I can give you some names". Ethan stood up from his seat and faced Aeturnus until they were facing each other. Ethan, with a serious face, looked at Aeturnus and said, "You... I want you to be my partner". Aeturnus was clearly shocked by Ethan's words, but in an instant, his surprised face turned into a smile, and said, "Sure, with pleasure". _ To Be Continued
