reading  the  big  bad  wolf  wasn't  the  easiest  thing  in  the  world,  he  had  to  admit  that.  as  confident  as  heinrich  was  in  his  own  skill,  sometimes  he  wondered  if  there  was  something  he  was  missing.  yet,  the  small  moments  like  they  were  sharing  now  was  proof  that  he  had  enough  information.  the  touch  through  his  hair  was  clearly  a  welcomed  one.  hook  and  sinker.  he  couldn't  help  the  small  smile  that  forged  on  his  face  when  he  realized  that  once  again,  he  did  good. 

something  that  as  of  late,  was  only  really  saved  for  zeke's  presence.

he  couldn't  afford  to  smile  around  too  many  people  and  be  considered  weak.  no.  he  was  the  former  king  of  a  whole  region.  the  current  mayor  of  this  small  town.  being  weak  wasn't  a  possibility.  even  as  he  brushed  his  fingers  through  the  wolf's  hair  and  scratched  the  back  of  his  ears,  he  stood  proud  and  tall.  a  stance  that  he  felt  could  rival  the  likes  of  maleficent,  scar,  and  the  other  villains  that  were  roamning  around.

not  that  he'd  consider  them  real  competition.

they  weren't  important.  at  least  not  right  now.  the  person  that  was  getting  his  full  attention  was  the  other  man  standing  there  with  him.  “the  best  tracker  around.”  that  was  also  true,  no  reason  to  lie.  a  smirk  formed  on  his  face  as  he  moved  his  hand  down  to  the  other's  chin.  he  brought  him  closer,  locking  in  with  eye  contact.  “i  want  to  see  you  naked.”  if  that  was  what  he  needed  to  hear,  then  he  wasn't  going  to  hold  back  from  asking  for  it.  demanding  it,  in  a  way.  heinrich  dropped  his  hand  to  give  zeke  the  space  to  strip  if  he  was  ready  to  do  so.  which  the  witch  hoped  that  he  really  was. 

“i  know  you  could  find  me  wherever,  but  it  would  still  be  fun.  something  that's  just  ours.”  no  one  else  had  to  know  what  or  who  he  was  whistling  for.  their  secret  taht  they  could  share.

being  the  mayor  wasn't  all  that  it  was  cracked  out  to  be  anymore.  at  first,  it  was  fine.  having  the  power  was  something  that  he  enjoyed,  even  when  he  thought  he  was  just  heinrich.  no  other  names  and  no  powers  to  be  had.  now  that  they  were  all  awoken,  it  felt  strange.  half  of  the  town  were  afraid  of  him.  the  other  half  kept  coming  to  him  with  problems,  things  that  needed  to  be  solved.  both  magical  and  mundane  in  nature. 

so,  in  true  old  man  fashion,  he  took  out  his  feelings  on  the  closest  target  nearby.  if  leo  decided  that  he  would  continue  to  be  the  thorn  on  his  side,  then  he  would  drown  him  in  issues  as  well.  he  didn't  want  a  relationship  with  the  other  man.  technically,  he  was  his  stepson,  but  they  were  far  beyond  that  familial  bond.  especially  when  it  was  him  and  his  dashing  prince  that  overthrew  him. 

which  was  why  he  decided  to  be  bold  and  go  to  the  clinic.  his  kingdom  was  once  taken,  so  why  should  he  hesitate? 

at  first,  he  didn't  reply.  mainly  because  it  would  have  been  a  string  of  no's  and  both  of  them  knew  that.  still,  he  followed  along  until  they  made  it  to  leo's  office.  something  else  that  heinrich  wanted  to  take  away  from  him. 

how  dare  he  give  him  such  a  cutesy  mug?  heinrich  should  have  had  his  head  right  then  and  there,  but  then  the  town  would  riot  against  him.  the  vet  was  their  precious  leader  in  a  way.  god,  he  could  throw  up  in  the  mug  in  that  moment.  still,  he  reached  out  for  it  and  grabbed  it  with  his  right  hand. 

“black  is  fine.”  he  preferred  things  to  be  bitter.  unless  they  were  his  pastries.  “i  still  don't  fully  trust  you  and  i  won't  apologize  for  my  hostility.” 

that  was  what  kept  him  alive.

working  together  on  this  wasn't  something  that  the  mayor  wanted  to  do,  but  he  had  to  put  his  differences  aside.  most  of  the  villains  were  on  his  side,  but  not  the  so-called  heroes.  if  he  wanted  to  rule  them  again,  he  needed  leo.  “there's  probably  a  spell  or  potion  that  i  can  come  up  with.  reveal  someone's  true  self  in  both  worlds.”  they  might  be  stuck  that  way  afterwards,  but  oh  well.  something  had  to  be  done.  “in  your  opinion,  do  these  people  even  want  to  be  saved?” 

he  still  didn't  drink  the  coffee,  but  the  warmth  was  nice.

“if  i  say  no,  would  you  actually  let  me  work  alone  on  this?  i  don't  think  so,  so  what  choice  do  i  have?” 

Heinrich is a member of the Volturi Guard. He is the one who brings humans to them to satisfy their thirst with his ability to attract people. He might orchestrate a contest where the prize is an all-expenses-paid vacation to some random location, or a job position with an amazing salary.

Heinrich was born in Germany and had a hard and mistreated life. He came across a vampire named Hilda, who decided to change him out of pity. Heinrich had since lived long happy years with her coven (which was gradually expanded by the involvements of Mary, Victoria, Anne and Noela). During his time with his coven, Heinrich discovered his ability to appeal to others with his charm, causing humans to easily fall prey and vampires to find him extremely attractive. His coven’s newest member, Noela, was still a newborn when the Volturi accused them for attracting too much attention with their large coven. In truth, Aro wanted to acquire Heinrich to his “collection” because of his gift. Right after Hilda was executed, Aro decided that Heinrich was penitent and spared him; Chelsea then bound him to the Volturi and made him betray his own coven. The rest tried to escape, but only Victoria survived, until she was killed by Edward Cullen.

Heinrich became a key member of the Volturi. His primary duty is orchestrating elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra for the sustenance of the coven. He is required to bring them from far away, without leaving a trail. Luring prey from beyond the city not only prevents hunting within the area but also gives the guard something to do when they are not annihilating law-breakers or protecting the city from exposure.
