Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

The moment Nikolai stepped forward with an arrogant tone, Selene’s brows twitched before sinking her teeth into her squishy lip. Her eyes narrowed as she snapped her fingers, creating several blood spears above her head.

”Now is not the time to be a smart ass, Nikolai.”

Selene’s voice sounded distorted, her pupils shrinking before she stepped forward.

”I love you, my arrogant ice queen. But we both know for me… you burn hotter than the sun.’

The corner of Nikolai’s lips curled upward, and his eyes glowed as he pushed off the ground, his muscular right leg bulging.

With every powerful step, he closed the distance between them.

Before Selene could speak, Nikolai grabbed her by her chin, tilting it up roughly. ”After all, you’re the prettiest when you smile.”

Selene’s pupils dilated, her hands moved to swat him away, yet she didn’t put force into it.

”You-” Selene hissed, but paused in mid-sentence.

The fierce black glow in her eyes faded a little each time he took action, or complimented her a little more, of her blood frenzy faded, unlike with the hormonal Nikita.

He didn’t need to drain them of blood to calm them, as each woman held different things close to their hearts.

Nikolai peered down at the cold yet astute women, who pulled back slightly. He painted a cold yet sincere smile on his lips.

”Don’t move!”

Nikolai’s aura exploded through the cave when he snarled, freezing Kumiko and Risa, who rushed to attack him in place.

”Will you keep fighting against me, even though you want this more than me?”

Selene gazed at him with aggression and fear. Each time his fingertips brushed against her cheek, she could feel the anger and rage within her melting into the fire growing in her abdomen.

Her hand lifted, as if to attack once again, before he grasped the back of her head and pulled her close. The scent of his body and the taste of his breath overwhelmed her senses, and she couldn’t help but reach out, like a woman on death’s door seeking their most desired thing.

”I will always keep what’s mine.”

The two spoke for only an instant, but something changed between them in that single second.

Nikolai’s lips contorted into a cruel smile.

His mouth opened slowly, revealing his sharp fangs still coated in Nikita’s blood. Selene no longer resisted and leaned her head to the side while swaying her hips and wrapping her hands around his neck.

”You vanished.”

”I know, it was an accident. Forgive me.”

The warmth of his breath blew against her neck, causing her skin to become hot, covered in slight bumps from her racing heart pounding inside her chest, as he dragged her up to his level.

His icy voice was calm as he paused, taking in the sight of her porcelain white neck.

”I adore you, Selene. As much as I treasure Nikita, or any of the others.”

Nikolai gently pressed his mouth against Selene’s collarbone, drawing a deep breath before pulling her further up and letting his fangs sink slowly into her neck, enjoying her nasal breathing, and hot sighs from the dull ache.

While locked in place, Risa and Kumiko’s eyes gleamed with black and red light. Their faces bulged with black veins as they tried to resist his aura and break free from their current stasis.

”Nnnn…”

A soft, delighted hum flowed past Selene’s lips.

She released another moan from the strange mix of pleasure and pain flowing from where Nikolai sunk his teeth in deep into her neck and siphoned her blood.

The taste reminded him of Amphitrite after she took the new body. It was similar in flavour to his own blood, with its rich musk and sweet taste, which flowed into his mouth.

Nikolai’s eyes flickered when he noticed the scent and taste fading, returning to the delicious taste of Selene’s usual blood. He then realised that his blood lingering within them caused the blood frenzy.

’So because I vanished, my blood inside them started losing control and drove them into a blood frenzy.’

He watched Selene’s eyes return to sanity. The dirty black colour faded, and her beautiful scarlet orbs returned to normal.

However, Nikolai realised the danger of his blood, and closed his eyes.

A sense of frustration and worry built in his heart because this meant if he died or vanished, his beloved women would be in danger.

’I have to be more careful, and search for a solution…’ His eyes flicked to Amphitrite, who looked back with soft blue eyes. ’Even if it means using her, for that solution.’

Selene let out another moan when his tongue swished across her flesh to lap up all the remaining blood. Her hands reluctantly letting him go as he pushed away with a faint smile on his lips.

”I seem to have lost control, we almost caused a tragedy.” A bitter laugh passed through her lips when she finished her words and looked at the corpses behind them.

These corpses were ghouls, but if they came across humans, the result wouldn’t have changed either.

Selene then gazed at Risa and Kumiko, who started to look unsightly from their struggling and rage. Her lips trembled, thinking that she looked similar to this a few moments ago, before grasping the corner of his sleeve.

”Will you save them too?”

”Haha, who do you think you’re talking to. Of course, I will.”

”Mm, I’ll go see to Nikita.”

Selene released his clothes, turned around and walked over to her former rival and new sister who was sitting down, still in a daze.

Nikolai, on the other hand, stepped toward the two, still in a frenzy. Risa’s lips dripped with drool, and her claws extended as she showed a half-transformation that grew with each moment he delayed.

Kumiko’s atmosphere was even eerier. She gazed at him with emotionless eyes, yet he could sense an aggression that dwarfed Risa’s coming from the two figures who looked like Kumiko.

”I’ll make sure this won’t ever happen again.” A vicious expression floated on his face when he whispered.

”So, don’t worry, it’ll be over soon.”

”Peh!” Risa spat on the ground, before the aura vanished, allowing her to dart forward faster than before. ”Dieee!!!”

”Haa.” A long sigh flowed out of Nikolai’s mouth before his eyes shimmered red. Using his blood art, he avoided her rapid flurry of blows, twisting his hips and stepping back to create space.

With one smooth movement, he struck her in the chin with a powerful blow from his palm that rattled her brain and knocked her off balance. Then he stepped forward and launched her into the air by crouching down and thrusting upwards with both his legs like a spring-loaded coiled snake.

Risa flew backwards, breaking a rock shard and smashing into the wall hard enough to leave a deep imprint.

”Gah!”

Blood spurted from Risa’s mouth when the momentum stopped suddenly, as the impact sent a surge of pain throughout her body. Still, she held tightly onto consciousness, and despite having shattered bones and ruptured organs, she resisted the pain by gritting her teeth and pushing off the cave wall with her feet, jumping back.

Only to be met with Nikolai’s palm grasping her face. He pulled her close while using the momentum of the leap to drive her skull straight into the hard wall.

Bang!

Another crater appeared beside the first. The two craters connected when Risa’s face smashed between the two because of her velocity and his monstrous strength. He pulled her head back, and with another bang, her face split through the thick rock, driving her through the cave wall.

”You need to behave, and not act out on these violent urges. Cat.”

Nikolai narrowed his eyes while ignoring her hands, grabbing at his wrist and forearm. He slowly dragged her in close when Risa let out a shrill cry before slicing his face with her claws, drawing blood.

”Keep this up, and you will be punished,” Nikolai growled, licking his wounds after they healed. ”But I’ll give you the opportunity to make it up to me.”

Risa struggled in his grasp but froze when he continued.

These were not normal women, a simple scolding couldn’t get through to them in this state.

The only reason he could help Selene and Nikita so easily was because of an instinct that started building in them… one to protect their bodies more than anything else, because of something inside their bodies.

He held Risa off the ground while gazing at Kumiko from the corner of his eyes, noticing how eerily calm she had become. Nikolai’s face took on a strange look as he stared at the enraged kitten, his fingers squeezing her jaw slightly harder.

”Will you not be a good girl and calm down?” His voice lowered, and his sharp eyes glowed dangerously with red light.

”If you can be obedient now, I’ll forgive this minor mistake, but if not—”

His free hand lifted Risa’s body above his head before forcing her head toward the stone floor. When she struck the cave, a large spiderweb pattern broke open the surrounding area.

”I have no need for you.”

Nikolai forced a cold smile that pierced Risa’s heart with an unfamiliar pain. Like a child who felt their parent was disappointed in them.

He didn’t want to be so stern or strict, but his blood seemed highly compatible with Risa and Kumiko, which forced him to act angrier than he was to break their current frenzy.

The darkness in her eyes shimmered and faltered as she spoke out with a whimpering voice.

”W-Wait, no…”

Nikolai squatted down and stared at the pitiful Risa curled up in a small hole.

”Will you be good?”

Tears formed at the corners of her eyes, and when the frenzy faded, her head nodded slowly up and down. With every bob of her head, the darkness inside her faded until only clear emerald cat eyes remained.

”Good girl, then let me help you ease the pain.”

Nikolai lifted her from the crater, his eyes much softer than his fangs punctured her pale throat and siphoned off the tainted blood.

”Come here.”

When he started drinking her blood, a whistle of wind sounded before his hand lifted into the air, catching a violent spinning kick from Kumiko, who broke free, but in the process she became completely berserk.

Her nine tails swayed, while growling at him with a ferocious and feral face.
