It was still early in the evening when Zhan and I left my office. We weren't quite at the car when Zhan's cell phone rang. It was his grandpa calling to let him know he was back and inviting us to dinner. Of course, we immediately said yes and headed out. If my brother were still there, we would have taken him with us, since he too would like to meet Grandpa Xiao. But he already flew back to the States last night together with Cheng. He wants to take care of his business there and the upcoming move.

When we arrived at the farm, there had already been a real atmosphere. Everyone was celebrating that Grandpa Xiao was back. And he also brought another pack, which wants to help to settle the problem with the black wolves. So there were a lot of wolves and only a handful knew me.

The moment we approached the large group, they all stared at me with wide-open eyes. One of them, a good friend of Zhan's, immediately shouted, "That vampire not only looks cute, he smells like that too!"

Suddenly, all these wolves showed a great interest in me because I didn't smell like death. That was really a very, very strange feeling. Especially because everyone was sniffing me until Grandpa Xiao yelled, "Let my grandson's boyfriend arrive and don't pester him like that!"

They let me through and I was able to greet Grandpa Xiao. Meanwhile, they besieged Zhan and bombarded him with questions about me. And Zhan calmly tried to answer each and every question. This gave me time to ask Grandpa Xiao if he had a moment to talk to me privately. He immediately said that was no problem at all and we both just walked off.

After walking for a while, we stopped and Grandpa Xiao asked me, "So my boy, what do you want to talk to me about?"

I was a little embarrassed, but then I said, "You must have noticed that I have very strong feelings for Zhan. More specifically, that I love him. I want to be with him and I want to be with him forever. But..."

"But you're wondering how that's going to work, aren't you? You as a vampire, him as a werewolf."

"Yes. Something like that. What I'm concerned with is that Zhan has a limited lifespan. So if we were to officially mate, what would become of me after he's gone? I already can't imagine being without him. But what about after 30 or 40, maybe 50 years? Zhan will age and die someday. And I will be left lonely and alone. How can I go on living without my partner then? I can't even kill myself. Sorry if I'm explaining this stupidly. But I'm a little upset right now."

"So you're afraid of losing him. And you're worried about the future. I can understand that. Because if you mate, you probably won't be able to have a new partner after that."

"Yes. But that's not my point. I don't want anyone else but Zhan. I just want him. And just the thought of losing him someday almost kills me. I have nightmares where I see Zhan getting older and older and then dying. I am not capable of anything after his death. I can't live and I can't die. When I try to kill myself, the vampire in me stops me. The evil in me, forces me to keep living and living and living, while I torture myself with longing for Zhan."

"Whew, that's a heavy nightmare. So it's like this. No one knows yet what it's like when mating between a vampire and a werewolf. Since such a mating hasn't happened yet, so to my knowledge, it's hard to predict what will happen. I know that Zhan once was on to something, a legend. But it's just a legend, and so far he hasn't found any evidence that the legend is true."

"What is this legend?"

"That's what Zhan has to explain to you. As far as I know, that's why he wanted to go abroad again to do more research. But I can tell you this much, it was about a love affair between a she-wolf and a vampire. According to legend, if I remember Zhan's words correctly, the she-wolf lived as long as the vampire."
