Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 460: The Peaceful Life of Nikolai’s Wives

Kumiko sat beside Selene while enjoying a mid-afternoon blood tea. Selene’s body started to change not long after Nikolai left. Her stomach now poked out slightly as her pregnancy reached the mid-term.

”How many women do you think our darling husband has charmed so far?” Selene sipped her tea while looking at Kumiko and Amphitrite.

”Five.” Amphitrite answered with a chuckle, her atmosphere no longer seductive, and more calm and obedient.

”Well, we knew Anya would cause trouble and... maybe he has behaved this time, but my clone tells me otherwise.”

”Your clone?” Selene tilted her head.

”Yes, with the help of my father-in-law, I managed to create a new identity for one of my clones, and she serves as a receptionist in our beloved’s apartment.”

The door opened with a loud slam as two women came inside. The short girl waddled with a black-haired cat girl helping her movements.

”Really!? Then... how has he been doing?”

Nikita’s eyes shone bright yellow the moment she came inside. She struggled to sit on her seat with a large cushion, her stomach being large compared to her body.

”Our lovely husband is the same as usual, but he seems to have done his best to follow that promise he made to us.”

”Really?”

Risa tilted her head with a strange smile. She didn’t appear to trust Kumiko’s words, but sat beside Nikita without complaining.

”Yes, although he’s slept with Anya... and Leona is enjoying the trip. I cannot complain because we knew those two beforehand.”

”That’s sophism, but well he looks much more relaxed in the pictures.” Selene muttered while watching Nikita with a quiet glance. ”Are you alright, Nikita?”

Selene and Nikita grew closer because of their shared symptoms of heavy morning sickness. However, Nikita adjusted a few months ago, and Selene learned how horrific it could be when it started for her just before Nikolai left.

”Mm, my body aches and its really hard to stay away or move, but...” Nikita rubbed her stomach, her cheeks faintly red with a big smile. ”I can feel the little ones becoming more and more active, it makes me so happy.”

”I’m so jealous... It’s only a few weeks for me.” Amphitrite complained, while Risa’s slight bump also started to show more, becoming visible as she helped serve Nikita’s tea.

”To think Risa would actually act like your squire, how bizarre.”

”I know, it’s cute right?” Kumiko giggled, her eyes shifting to the door, as they noticed Lunaria approaching with a tray of desserts and sandwiches.

”Hello everyone, it’s becoming a routine to meet at this time, are you all feeling alright?”

Lunaria took birth control tablets to protect the women in the mansion, waiting until Nikita and Selene gave birth before she would get pregnant. Though when she looked at the small video playing on the television, her lips trembled.

”It’s a little ironic for me to ask this but is he going to get Anya pregnant before me?”

”Pfffft!?”

Her question caused Selene to spit out her tea and look up at the images Kumiko’s clone provided, her face stunned at the scene showing Anya and Nikolai kissing in the main hallway of the apartment.

”No way... that girl, when did she start dressing like that!?”

”Trust a vampire to seduce our husband in such a lewd fashion...” Nikita scoffed at the blushing Selene.

”Our husband looks really excited...”

Amphitrite pointed out that Nikolai’s hands slipped into Anya’s pants, the slow curling motion of his wrist making it obvious what they were doing together.

”Oh my....” Kumiko pretended to be embarrassed and looked away.

”Well, enough of that we all know he’s a bastard with sex and pretty women, all of us wouldn’t be knocked up otherwise.” Selene complained.

The time passed slowly, as the short video’s filming, Nikolai skipped past the sexual and lewd scenes and came to the Arena, where he fought two opponents.

”Oh my god... did he get more muscles?”

”I know right? He looks so tasty... I’m looking forward to my second pregnancy already.” Nikita made a dirty comment while glued to the screen.

These videos came directly from the Silver clan, sold to earn more money for the Arena, showing the best angles and something that Amphitrite and Lunaria found and bought with the help of Kumiko’s clones.

”...wow....” Risa watched the moment Nikolai killed the first brother, her eyes sparkling green as she reached for her tea, but kept missing because her gaze remained fixed upon the screen where Nikolai fought.

The fight ended with Nikolai’s win, and the girls all cheered and shouted, calling the people who booed or complained names. However, then someone appeared that confused them... a woman, a beautiful woman with raven hair and golden eyes.

”Who is that?”

”Hey, Nikita, isn’t that woman familiar?” Selene followed Nikita’s jealous snarl.

”Eh?”

The two watched Madoka in the private box, a small camera fitted into Nikolai’s shirt, but the moment they realised who she was, each woman’s face became sour.

”...That woman.” Selene’s voice sharpened, the softness from moments ago gone in an instant. ”That’s Madoka.”

”Madoka...?” Amphitrite tilted her head, brushing a lock of azure hair behind her ear. ”The one from the SSS? The leader... and one of the most important members of their hunting unit?”

”The strongest bitch alive.”

Nikita growled enough that the porcelain in her hands started vibrating.

The video zoomed in on Nikolai’s face; he looked bruised, and his lip bled, but the way he smiled with a familiar wolfish grin as he left the cage after beating another opponent caused the women to gush.

Selene’s stomach churned. She pressed a hand to her bump protectively. ”That bitch... he’s not going to sleep with her right?”

”No way, our husband isn’t that hungry for women....” Lunaria answered with a voice that became less confident as she spoke.

Kumiko’s chuckle shattered the silence as she switched to the next video. ”Oh, don’t scowl my dears, you all look like sour cats. Yes Madoka is beautiful. Yes she’s dangerous and our beloved wolf might be tempted to mount her.” She swirled her tea with a hum. ”But you know him, he doesn’t bend easily. If he wants her, he’ll take her... and if she tries to force it, he’ll make her bleed.

”Do you think that’s comforting?” Selene snapped.

Amphitrite leaned back with a lazy smile. ”I think it’s exciting. If she pushes him, he’ll only get stronger. That’s how Nikolai grows, isn’t it? Through battle... through women... like us.”

Nikita scoffed, her cheeks burning. ”Hmph. I don’t like it. That woman stinks of trouble and it’s obvious Nikolai that fool is interested! If she tries... I’ll—”

”You’ll what?” Risa interrupted softly, surprising them all. Her green eyes never left the screen, where videos of Nikolai continued playing. ”You’ll fight her, can you fight such a powerful woman?”

”....You!”

This issue brought the people together.

United against the idea of Madoka and Nikolai sleeping together the group start to choose what to drink vis flavour instead of where the alcohol came from.

The room vibrated with the final cheer of the crowd as Nikolai raised his bloodied hand in victory. The broadcast cut to a logo for the Arena, then flickered to black.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Only the rain against the windows and the faint hiss of the tea kettle filled the silence. Each woman sat with her own storm in her chest—Selene’s protective jealousy, Nikita’s simmering rage, Amphitrite’s strange excitement, Lunaria’s quiet suspicion, Risa’s awe, Kumiko’s sly smile.

Selene broke the silence with a trembling but sharp voice. ”If she touches him... then we will end her, no matter what he says.”

Risa finally tore her gaze from the blank screen. Her lips parted as if to speak, then closed again. The flush on her cheeks betrayed the thought she dared not voice aloud: that part of her wanted to see how far Nikolai would go, even if it meant Madoka in his arms.

Nikita slammed her cup down, breaking porcelain. ”No. He belongs to us. To me. To this family.” Her hands clutched her swollen belly, claws trembling. ”If the Silver Clan thinks they can use that tiger bitch to break him, then they’ll pay.”

Kumiko chuckled low, eyes glinting.

”Have more trust in our darling, he wouldn’t touch a woman without being sure first... I mean look around, we are the women he chose. However, normally multiple women with a single man would devolve into a chaotic fight, right?”

Selene and Nikita looked at each other, quietly understanding Kumiko’s words held a lot of weight, Nikolai could have slept with more women, be he chooses to train and improve himself and only sleeps with certain women

The thunder outside cracked like a drum, shaking the mansion walls.

Six women stared at the blank screen, united by one truth.

The face the man whom they loved the most, wasn’t some useless lover boy who would lower his high level of standards compared to sleeping with another woman.

”Let’s write to him.... I miss him too much.”

”You’re right.”

”Tsk... Selene knows best.”
