Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Nikita’s eyes twinkled as she watched the live-action movie of an old animation and book that Nikolai vaguely remembered. The book was about a witch who is deemed evil just because of her appearance.

’It resembles how monsters are seen as evil by humans in this world.’

The movie wasn’t bad.

At first he thought it might be a boring slop where the producers and writers added in their political agenda to ruin the movie. ’It’s quite interesting...’ He enjoyed the songs, especially a random song where a Chad Prince sings about not needing books in a library.

At times, Nikita looked close to tears. Sometimes, her hips and shoulders would brush against his as she danced along with the music in her seat.

’I can’t help but find her adorable, to think she’s going to become the mother of my children.’

The thought made Nikolai’s lips curl into a faint smile. His hand brushed her silky white hair as she devoured the sweet and salted popcorn.

”Mmmn~ the movie was amazing, Nikolai!”

He couldn’t help but smile at how her face beamed radiantly, speaking to him about the scenes or singing parts of the songs she liked the most.

’When did Nikita become this adorable, have I never noticed this in all our years together?’

Nikolai doubted the brain of his past self.

Why would he care about confidence when this beautiful woman made her feelings so obvious...

’I was a complete retard.’

”Hehe~ Nikolai here eat some.”

Her delicate hands grabbed some of the popcorn and placed it into his mouth her shining eyes narrowing into thin slits as she grabbed his cheeks. The sweet yet salty taste didn’t sit well with Nikolai, but to keep his lovely fiancee happy, he forced a smile.

’Nikolai looks so cute~ I know he hates it but to make me happy he’s eating it. Hehe.’

Nikita’s heart throbbed as her ears flickered rapidly.

She was delighted that they finally watched a movie together.

This date was one of her most desired dates, not going to a bar or doing more adult things. She had loved Nikolai for so long that her heart became set on these girlish teenage ideas and date plans.

”Ah, did you like the movie?”

She put the straw of ice-cold cola against his lips and leaned against his chest. Thanks to the lovers’ seat, they didn’t need to leave for another ten minutes, so she spent the time calming herself down by teasing Nikolai, who made her chest flutter.

’Why does he gaze at me so affectionately~ I’ve never seen him looking so gentle... and caring...’

She couldn’t help but bury her blushing face in his chest, enjoying the warmth of his body, which comforted her heart. Her tail wagged back and forth as she snuggled against him, unable to contain her excitement.

”I didn’t expect to enjoy the movie and date here so much,” Nikolai replied truthfully.

Nikita smiled gently, turning her face to peek at him, ”I’m happy you did, Nikolai.” She gazed deeply into his eyes as if trying to peer into his very soul.

’There’s no way I couldn’t have fun with you beside me... Nikita.’

”You should put your tail and ears away though, if they have cameras...”

”Eh?! Oh...” Nikita’s hands covered her head and touched her buttocks, before she looked embarrassed. ”I didn’t realise!” She closed her eyes and focused on returning them to her body. But after a minute, she opened an eye and glanced at him nervously. ”Are they gone?”

”Yeah.”

”Ehehe~ I just had too much fun with you...”

”Me too, Nikita.”

”Eh?” Her eyes widened.

She thought he would like the date a little, or say he enjoyed it to make her happy, but the moment his hands cupped her cheeks, Nikita became a prisoner to his calm and affectionate expression. ”Nikolai...”

’What is this feeling? It feels warm and comforting, yet my heart beats so fast.’ Nikita’s eyes closed, her body trembling as his thumb brushed over her lips, making her shudder as she felt the touch of his rough skin against her soft lips. ’Is he going to kiss me?’

A single thought ran through Nikolai’s mind, ’I want to kiss her.’

’Please kiss me~ ehehe.’

She could feel her heart beating out of control, as if it might burst out of her chest at any moment. Her eyes fluttered open and met with Nikolai’s handsome face close up. ”Mmmmn?” Their lips met in a lingering, gentle kiss, as if afraid to break the moment.

’His lips are so warm...’ She closed her eyes again, ’and sweet...’ letting herself get lost in the kiss, not wanting to think about anything else other than enjoying this moment with him.

He crushed her plush lips with a desperate hunger, seeking to devour her whole.

’She tastes like popcorn and soda... so sweet and delicious.’

His tongue forcefully parted her lips, the velvety softness gliding across her teeth as he savoured every inch of her mouth. She responded eagerly, her lips parting further than their tongues intertwined in a passionate dance.

Her hands moved to his shoulders, gripping as she pulled him closer.

She wanted to be as close to him as possible. He could feel the warmth of her breath blowing from her nose onto his chin, which excited him even more.

’I love you, Nikita.’

His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer still, until their bodies pressed together tightly enough that he could feel the beating of her heart against his chest.

Slowly, their fiery wet kiss ended.

Gasping for air, she became shy, her eyes half-closed, before whispering, ”I really love you, Nikolai.” Her hand cupped his cheek, rubbing it softly. ” I am happy you enjoyed our first proper date.” She gave him a lovely smile.

Although her upbringing might make her act like a thug and hooligan, inside her was a normal girl who wanted to experience romantic dates and enjoy the feeling of loving someone and being loved.

”Me too.”

”Mmm... I can tell, hehe.”

They remained in this embrace for what seemed like hours before the warning buzzer sounded, and their bodies separated with great reluctance. Nikita’s tail wagged back and forth happily, causing her to blush as she quickly retracted it.

”So where next?” She asked, fixing her hair with her fingers and then taking his arm as they left the private box.

”Is there anywhere you want to go?”

Nikolai couldn’t help but feel invigorated as if Nikita’s kiss filled him with energy, especially when she clung to his arm and smiled at him.

”How about we go eat some hotpot, and then we will think about something else~”

”Alright.”

He didn’t have any plans or desire to return home yet, anyway.

.

.

.

Nikita chose a small hotpot restaurant near the eastern district, just outside the slums. What surprised Nikolai was that the old lady who ran the place looked quite fierce.

’There’s a huge queue.’

He thought to himself, worried about his pregnant wife. ”Should we go somewhere else?” he whispered in her ear, but she tapped his nose and smiled cheekily.

The next moment Nikita walked straight into the shop, causing many of the guests to complain behind their backs.

”Huh? Who is this midget and pretty boy?”

”Ah... it’s Nikita!”

”Who’s that?” The first male responded, with a bitter yet curious tone.

”She’s the stores mascot! The little white wolf, see there on the menu, it’s her in the wolf costume.”

”That’s right, she’s been coming here since she was young,” the owner said proudly.

”I never realised you came here often, Nikita.”

”Mhm!” Nikita nodded.

Nikolai’s eyes widened when he noticed the people suddenly treated her differently.

The regulars sat in the best seats, most of them older or middle-aged men, all who greeted Nikita like a granddaughter.

”Oh~ little Kita! Have you been well?”

”Oh my, Nikita, your stomach... is it what I think?” Another old lady, wearing glasses, chuckled, covering her lips as she elbowed the old man beside her.

”Yes~”

”Ahh~ how wonderful, did you hear that Mr Zhang? The little White Wolf has become an adult.” The elderly man smiled and nodded.

”I did, Mrs Lee...”

What Nikolai didn’t know was that these were all werewolves.

The store’s owner and all the regulars were former members of the Fenrir group. Now too old to fight, they had lost their places.

’Everyone looks good, I’m glad.’

Nikita learned about the owner when she first met Nikolai and found it difficult to accept that they left. In other packs and families, the elderly would remain together. But because the Fenrir had so many enemies and unique rules.

The elderly and disabled would receive a small compensation and retire. This policy also applied to branch members and those with thin Fenrir blood.

’At least everyone gets along...’

So the young Fenrir used her money, earned from various odd jobs to help them open restaurants and other workplaces and became their little mascot.

Of course, she made a lot of money thanks to her shares in the companies and her Mother, Nagisa, who secretly supported them.

Thus, Nikita became the most loved Fenrir by the workers, from the guards to the gardeners, who learned this.

”Nikita, long time no see.” The owner grinned at her. ”We heard rumours...” Her voice trailed off, allowing Nikita to fill in the blanks. ”You really nailed a handsome and strong one, eh?” The old woman’s raspy voice echoed as she elbowed Nikolai.

”You better treat her right, you hear me young man!”

”G-Grandma it’s Nikolai... don’t be so rude...” Nikita blushed profusely, hiding her face with both hands.

”It’s fine...” Nikolai smiled awkwardly. ’I can see another hidden side of my future wife, haha.’

”Oh my?! The young boy you always spoke about... finally?”

”Hehe~ of course!”

Nikita put up both her hands with a V-sign, curling her lips into a mischievous smirk.

”Well... I am so happy for you, this is all you’ve ever dreamed of, right?” The elderly wolf used to be Nikita’s nanny, and now seeing her stomach swelling, she gazed at Nikolai once more, before whispering into his ear.

”Please take care of our little lady, and thank you for accepting her.”

Nikolai shook his head and responded calmly and proudly, ”Grandma, it’s my pleasure. I am the lucky one to have her affection.”

”Oh... you good boy, let me treat you to our best hotpot!”

”Everyone, tonights on me!” She called out, before the old people started to cheer, and their wives stood up and got behind the counter.

”Prepare for the most impressive hotpot! Everyone, it’s the time you’ve been waiting for!”

”The Nikita Special!”

Nikolai’s eyes widened in shock at the speed at which the five elderly women began preparing the food. He noticed that the ingredients and spices were all Nikita’s favourites, along with some that were great for pregnant women.

When he turned to Nikita, he noticed her sparkling eyes and asked her a question.

”Is this the date you expected?”

She smiled at him with a hint of sadness in her eyes, making Nikolai feel a little guilty.

”Yes, this is exactly what I wanted... although...” Nikita looked down at her belly and then back up at him with a faint smile.

”The only thing I ever wanted... was you.”

’Fuck.’

Nikolai’s heart throbbed, knowing deep down that he would do anything for this woman, ’this girl... fuck I’m such an idiot to have not accepted her charms sooner!’ His hand stroked her cheek gently before he pulled her into a tight embrace, his lips kissing her forehead.

”Well, you’ve got me now, and I’m never letting go.”

’Fuck he’s so cool~ ehehe.’
