Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 311 311: Deja Vu

The peaceful apartment without a spec of dust.

Ever since they moved, it became a place that Nikolai rarely got the chance to visit—memories of when he first met Selene flashed through his mind.

”Would you like some wine, Nikolai?” Seleneʼs calm voice echoed from the kitchen.

She stood at the counter with paper bags filled with meat, vegetables, and cooking items—the cost must have reached four figures at least.

Selene changed into a deep red a-line dress with a plunging neckline.

The moment she shifted between the bags, his eyes focused, enjoying the sway of her luscious creamy breasts, causing her to snort and hide behind the bags.

”Haha, sorry, could I get it served with a kiss, princess?” He asked with a slightly cheeky tone, leaning back on the sofa with a comfortable sigh.

He watched her like a hungry shark seeking a meal.

However, her crimson eyes narrowed before pulling out her tongue and opening the fridge to store the ingredients.

”No kiss for you, mister.”

”WHAT!

A travesty—he wanted to rush over and take one right there until Selene appeared behind him.

In her hand was a small glass of dark red wine.

”Kiss me first, my dear husband.”

Her wrist swilled the glass, creating a beautiful sight—specs of silver danced through the liquid, flowing like a school of fish in the Mediterranean ocean.

”I see you pulled out all the stops, Selene...”

”What did you expect? You single-handedly changed my life, and I—”

Their lips touched as Nikolai reached out, threaded his hands through Seleneʼs silky smooth hair, and gripped it tight, pulling her closer.

He parted her lips with his and tasted her sweet and intoxicating breath, which sent a shudder down his spine.

”Mmph!”

Seleneʼs hand wrapped around his neck and pushed his smooth lips apart, with her small pink tongue spreading a sticky heat in a passionate moment.

”Nnph... w-wait.”

A quiet whimper of refusal escaped her throat, and In a sudden rush, she nibbled on his tongue.

”Whatʼs wrong, Selene?”

His wet lips smacked, tasting the sweet wine from their kiss.

”Dinner hasnʼt started yet, and itʼs already five oʼclock! Please~ enjoy the wine and let me cook, okay?”

Nikolaiʼs head nodded automatically because of Seleneʼs humming tone.

He wondered how one woman could be so alluring while watching her sway away from him like an exotic dancer, her juicy peace shifting skilfully in his gaze.

ʼI see... I am crazy about her, too.ʼ

The wine placed on the table still fluttered with the silver specs, so Nikolai tried a sip while watching the beautiful vampire princess chopping various vegetables.

Chop!

Chop!

Chop!

Her swift knife skills sent the finely chopped ingredients into the various pans—he almost doubted his eyes at how skilled Selene was.

”Wow...”

Nikolaiʼs eyes shone the moment his tongue touched the wine. The initial fruity burst of sweet berries and the sour and bitter aftertaste of blackberries and raspberries added to the smokey tobacco scent and deep chocolate flavour.

ʼThis isnʼt blood wine, yet itʼs delicious. Isnʼt this a wine I mentioned liking when we first met?ʼ

He couldnʼt help but focus on the kitchen, fruit, vegetables, meat and wine—everything was to his preferred taste as a human.

These small things meant a lot to Nikolai.

He couldnʼt remember the feeling of being human, even though it wasnʼt too long ago.

The changes in his taste and intense lifestyle were eating away at his past.

ʼSo she gave me this...ʼ

It was almost as if she had prepared for this night in advance, or maybe Selene had waited a long time to have such a calm date night together.

Nikolai didnʼt know what or why, but he understood her sincerity and stopped rushing.

Instead, he tapped the remote and turned on the television.

Boop!

”Welcome to Eldritch Hills, where ten lucky couples will compete to—”

He suddenly remembered that she hated these kinds of couple shows, where they tested their partner with other women, and most of the time, they would fail.

It reminded him of a couple in Espanol.

A poor male flirted with a woman after his girlfriend made him jealous, and he enjoyed a pole dance.

However, it ended in tragedy.

Because in the end his girlfriend ended up getting railed on live television out of revenge.

”A shame...”

However, after quite some searching on the seven different streaming services he found one show that might be interesting.

A story about a pair of brothers whose father went missing on a hunting trip.

His hunting trips were actually to hunt the supernatural.

”Oh Dean, when will you learn? Sam just wanted to stay with Jess.”

Several episodes passed, and the sizzling sound from the kitchen brought a delicious scent that soon filled the apartment.

As the meat was fried in the pan, an assortment of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and cloves mixed with it, adding a delicious, meaty aroma that made Nikolaiʼs throat feel dry.

”Huh? I drank the entire bottle already... haha.”

The slight buzz confused Nikolai because he shouldnʼt get drunk or tipsy from human wine, so he noticed the cheeky smile on Seleneʼs lips, who watched him walk into the kitchen.

”Hmm~ did you drink all that wine?”

”I did, it was amazing.”

Nikolaiʼs answer brought a smile to Seleneʼs lips as she grabbed another bottle from the iced bucket and uncorked the tip.

”If you cannot tell what the secret ingredient is, I wonʼt give you more.”

Somehow, the slightly teasing look on Seleneʼs face made Nikolaiʼs heart pound.

She seemed different to her usual self.

He couldnʼt help but place both hands on the counter and seriously consider that since it affected him, it couldnʼt be normal wine—it must have been blood wine.

”Do you want a clue?” Selene winked while teasing him with a cute voice.

”No way, I can get it... itʼs obvious!”

Nikolai brushed his hand along the smooth black marble top and nodded.

His eyes twinkled like he had noticed something important.

”Itʼs your taste, the taste of Seleneʼs blood.”

”Oh my~ you got it in one, now then.”

Selene held the wine bottle in one hand while she drummed on the counter. Then, with a funny sound, she pointed at Nikolai.

”Do you want the wine or a kiss from your beautiful vampire bride?”

”Oh no, what should I do?” Nikolai spoke in a monotone voice while Seleneʼs lips curled into a frown gradually as she reached for a small hammer.

”W-Wait! Wait! Wait!”

He hopped over the counter and slipped across the marble, dodging the pots with prepared food inside and closed her lips before she could grab the meat tenderiser.

”Mmmph.”

Seleneʼs eyebrows lifted as she hummed into his mouth. Their warm kiss continued for a few minutes as she ruffled her fingers through his silver hair, pulling on it while nibbling his lips and enjoying the affection.

”Nnn—okay, okay... let me finish the meal.”

Selene surrendered first because a certain maleʼs hands slipped into her dress and started to take liberties.

”Behave, okay?” Selene pouted while turning to face the wok and cooking surface.

Nikolai carried the bottle of wine when he noticed she had not once drunk the wine—she had only sniffed it earlier with a slightly jealous expression.

ʼI see, the change in her scent must be that... since sheʼs also eating normal food.ʼ

He watched her quietly, with focused eyes, as she flicked her wrists using the wok, frying rice after adding various ingredients.

The scent of garlic and spices soon became complete as she served them on two plates.

However, because he thought she might be pregnant, he stepped into the kitchen, loaded the plates onto the trolley and wrapped his arm around her soft waist.

”You go and sit down—Iʼll take care of everything.”

She pushed out her lips, and narrowed her eyes while pouting, but made a cute sound, letting him usher her towards the dining table.

Selene then clapped her hands, creating a pleasant atmosphere. ”Hehe, how is it?”

The dark brown table, with several dishes loaded, looked wonderful at the centre of the table.

Selene placed a small series of red and black candles that flickered with small sparkles of light and a faint scent that removed the oil and other smells of the cooking.

A mixture of reds, greens, and the slight yellow of fried eggs made Nikolaiʼs stomach rumble, which shocked him.

ʼAm I hungry because of the mood, well it doesnʼt matter...ʼ

Seleneʼs lips curled into a beaming smile as she watched him eat the food she had cooked.

”Itʼs delicious, Selena... I feel like Iʼve become human again.”

”Really?” Seleneʼs eyes narrowed into crescent moons, with her lips curled into a smile.

At first, she tried to hide her weight, but when he started eating faster, she stopped holding back and enjoyed the dishes.

Whether because of embarrassment or worry, he didnʼt know.

”Come, eat some more, you worked so hard, haha.”

But somehow, this date gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Being at Seleneʼs apartment made him think about the night he had spent with Nikita. Looking at Seleneʼs blushing cheeks seemed dangerous.

”Hey, handsome~”

A hot sigh blew from Seleneʼs lips as she reached across the table and grabbed Nikolaiʼs hands.

”Do you want to visit my room?”
