After being criticized by Yoko for not understanding people’s emotions Zero let her deal with the girl until she calm down. Zero looked at the girl who still had tears in her eye from finding out that she was no longer human. He really couldn’t understand what the problem was she still had a human appearance and could easily pass herself off as human so what was her problem.
The girl then turned from Yoko to face Zero and asked, “Why did you bring me back to life?”
“That’s simply because I needed a werewolf. It didn’t really have to be you per se but I felt it was fate to run into you again and I did ask for your permission first. The reason I need a werewolf is that I plan to create a city for the vampires and witches of this world but just having 2 groups of people can lead to trouble so I thought to include another species.” explained Zero
“So you made me a monster on a whim. What give you the right!?” yelled the girl
“As I previously stated I asked for your permission first. If you’re not satisfied with this new life I can always end it and return you to your previous state.” said Zero not meaning for his word to come off as threatening as they sounded.
The girl instantly was scared by Zero's words and tried to back away when Yoko grabbed her hand. Yoko smiled at the girl and said, “Now now let’s calm down. Zero didn’t mean it to come off that way what he was trying to say is he can turn you back into a soul. This will let you be reincarnated as a human baby but you’ll lose your memories in exchange.”
“That’s what I said well just not as well.” said Zero
Yoko motioned for Zero to be quiet as the girl pondered her options. After a few minutes, the girl finally managed to ask, “What’s the difference between a werewolf and a human? Do I have to kill and eat people?”
“Don’t compare yourself to the werewolves you see in movies you’re nothing like them. Well instead of thinking of yourself as a monster just thinks of it as you’re a human with the ability to transform into a wolf. You’re stronger than a normal human, can heal faster, have amazing senses, and most importantly you have complete control over when you transform.” explained Zero

“So basically what he means to say is no you don’t have to kill or eat humans.” said Yoko simplifying Zero’s words to the extreme.
“So I don’t have to attack people.” said the girl with relief
“Not unless you want to. Another perk is that you’re stronger than the vampire who killed you so you won't be killed like that again. You’re also eternally young I might add.” said Zero
Yoko laughed at Zero words and said, “You sound like a used car salesman.”
“Hey, I’m just really proud of my creation so I wanted to brag a little.” said Zero
Although the 2 people in front of her were joking around the girl still paid very close to their word and a single part really caught her attention. She had decided to stay in this body when she heard that she was stronger than the creature who killed her. It had moved so fast chasing her like she was prey only to catch her and control her mind. The experience had truly been traumatic for her so when she learned she gain enough power to fight them her new existence didn’t seem as wretched as she previously thought. Also, the thought of losing who she was and being reborn as a completely new person scared her.
“I’ve decided I’ll stay as I am now.” said the girl
“Good now I was saying before we went on this whole tangent. I made you so that we can create a werewolf race to balance out the vampires and witches. To that end I’ll need you as the first of you race to create more.” said Zero
“No! I refuse to attack people and transform them!” yelled the girl
Zero sighed and said, “As I stated you need to stop thinking of yourself like those tv werewolves. You can’t only transform others with a scratch or a bite. It’s a complicated process but the simplified version is that you let them drink your blood willingly. Due to that, it’s not really something that can be done to the unwilling or even often.” said Zero
“Well, I think that’s enough information for tonight. If you keep going you’re going to overload the poor girl. I’ll take her to my room and get her some clothes and let her rest for now. You can take time really explaining all this to her tomorrow.” said Yoko as she dragged the girl covered in a bedsheet to the door
Yoko stopped at the door and turn to face the girl and asked, “What’s your name? It’s pretty awkward not knowing your name.”
“Her name is Alexandra.” answered Zero
The girl looked at Zero in confusion as she didn’t remember ever telling Zero her name. As she began to ponder it Yoko pulled her attention away from it was dragging her out of the room but not before telling Zero to stop peeking.
To a normal person, Yoko’s words might make Zero sound as if he were some pervert who liked to look at naked women. Yoko's word had a hidden meaning and what she truly meant was that Zero should stop peeking into the minds of others without their permission. It was a bad habit that he had picked up when he received this ability and he now found himself reading people’s minds without any cause other than his own curiosity.
Zero collapsed onto his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He had many things to take care of in a short amount of time but the thing that he really needed to be the most concerned about was Yoko.
