Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

The woman’s face, hidden by darkness, was suddenly illuminated by the argent moon’s touch, a soft silver light shining down on her. A neat Half-up, half-down hairstyle with a twisted knot, sharp pale blue eyes. She wore a dress with a dark blue colour, the opposite of Selene.

”Sister you really can’t just leave like that, not after ruining our plans.”

”Our plans... so you really are the Nosferatu family’s dog.” Selene scoffed, stepping forward.

Lunaria didn’t become angry and instead narrowed her eyes and gave a faint smile while speaking in a calm voice.

”I am only doing what I need to survive, sister.”

Selene clenched her fists, trying not to grow angry and let herself be tricked into a rage because that must have been what Lunaria wanted.

A soft palm grasped her hand as she turned to the side and noticed it was Nikita. To be comforted by Nikita shocked Selene more than anything else she saw during the day.

”Don’t worry, Selene.” Risa’s mature tone echoed as she stepped forward, her two tails fluttering, as the green and ghostly tail also materialised.

”You’re our family too now.”

Kumiko gazed at Risa before she noticed the nekomata’s wink.

Lunaria tilted her head, noticing the female cat approaching her, and then her lips curled into a smile. ”I see, so this is what you’re going to do, ah.” Lunaria’s eyes lingered on Nikita and Selene’s abdomen, flickering with an eerie light. ”No wonder...”

Before they assumed Lunaria would take action, Kumiko grabbed both Selene and Nikita before she jumped onto the boat, and one of her clones and several of the battle maids started the engine.

A low, growing hum followed as the boat’s engine roared, and the speedboat started racing across the ocean with a trail of white foam following it.

Lunaria didn’t take any action to stop them from leaving.

She only stood there, watching the waves softly wash against her feet, and then sighed, staring at the sky as the darkness grew.

”I’ll be waiting for you, dear sister.”

Lunaria seemed relieved before looking at Kumiko and Risa, who remained. Kumiko used her clone to secure the two pregnant women and helped them escape.

This plan was the deal and promise she made with Risa in secret from Nikolai and the others. After the speedboat vanished, Risa and Kumiko stood there, looking at each other with a nod.

”You didn’t need to do that. I wouldn’t have attack them either,” Lunaria spoke with an elegant and slow voice, her eyes flicking between the two women with a slight nod.

”You are both his women too, I can see his essence flowing through you... even there, wow he hasn’t changed.”

She chuckled to herself, noticing that the girls had enjoyed a moment of fun with Nikolai before they arrived on the island, and the warmth of his affection remained inside them.

”Shut up, you cannot be trusted.”

Kumiko’s lips curled up, snarling at Lunaria... a different and more aggressive side that shocked Risa beside her, because Kumiko never showed such aggression.

”I’ll say this only once, if you harm him in any way, I will destroy the entire Nosferatu Family!”

”Then destroy them... I want him to suffer less than you do.” Lunaria responded.

Kumiko didn’t trust her words but hated the fact that she couldn’t sense any hostility from her. That’s when her eyes widened, and she noticed something... something that none of them had considered. ”Are you going to stop him leaving, all so you can take him away and keep him for yourself?”

Risa’s eyes looked confused and turned to Kumiko with a mocking tone. ”There’s no way that’s the reason.”

The azure-haired woman smiled at Risa.

”Ah, sister... I see you found yourself an extremely intelligent hound... how did you know? Please tell me your name again.” Lunaria’s soft voice didn’t mock Kumiko, but her face showed no emotion as she spoke, only with those cold blue eyes staring back at Kumiko’s voice of emotion and life.

It was like staring into the eyes of a corpse... yet her words seemed genuine.

Kumiko ignored her question in her name and instead asked her own.

”Do you genuinely love him, or is it just an obsession of your former life?” Her eyes narrowed at the woman who stood in front of them.

”I don’t think you have any right to speak, fox.”

”I do, because I love him and as one of his wives... I will not abandon him to a crazy, undead bitch like you.”

”Oh?”

A sudden burst of cold wrapped around her body, icicles and sharp shards of ice forming around her. Lunaria snapped her fingertips, and the sharp ice gracefully danced like a ballerina, spinning and turning, never staying still, as if they were her minions, all focusing on Kumiko with the pointy end.

”Do you think he can escape this island without my help, do either of you know that HE is the target of this entire thing?”

Lunaria’s low voice echoed through the gardens, her face becoming serious as she stared at the two women in front of her.

”You both should understand... this isn’t something a few bitches can change.”

***

The battle between Nikolai and Valan ended shortly after the attack.

Nikolai dodged several attacks before he slammed his palm into the vampire’s stomach and sent him crashing through the ceiling.

”Valan, you should give up.”

A low, feral growl left Nikolai’s lips, with his black fur covering his body in the shape of a werewolf.

The once beautiful ballroom now looked horrific, with broken rocks, shattered stone and marble floors. It looked like a natural disaster had happened here, and the men behind Valan looked terrified while standing in the middle of it all.

Nikolai was tall, towering over everyone else, with his long claws dripping with blood.

”So, you all wanted to use these to hurt me?”

Nikolai grasped a pistol using cursed silver and placed the gun to his temple, a wide, eerie grin on his wolf’s face.

”Let’s see if it kills me!”

His hand gripped the pistol, and with a slight pull of his finger, the click of the gun filled the room with an explosive sound.

Many of the men looked excited about this situation, thinking, would the beast kill itself?!

A flash of light, the scent of gunpowder filling their noses, and then...

Puff

Nikolai blew hot air, and the remains of the bullet crumbled into dust.

It didn’t even break his skin as he pulled the trigger several times, causing several low pops.

”Oh...”

The crowd became silent as Nikolai just laughed at the fact they thought something so petty could hurt him.

”Do you have anything bigger?” He asked.

He tilted his head before crushing the gun in his hand.

Nikolai knew little about guns, but the weapon he had just shot at himself was a .44 magnum.

Terror started to build in the other monsters’ bodies because that weapon could tear steel apart, but in this form, it didn’t even break Nikolai’s skin. A seven-foot beast with obsidian fur and eyes. His figure became one of terror for the weaker clans. They wanted to flee, but their leaders and elders made a deal to capture this man.

But even Valan lay on the ground with a broken nose...

”We...”

”What do we do?!”

”Run!”

But as they started to turn around to flee, they noticed the ballroom’s entrance had completely vanished.

Broken stones and a collapsed wall blocked the exit.

”Did you think I would accept your surrender, or allow you to flee when you put my wives in danger?”

Nikolai’s low growl rumbled in their ears as his heavy footsteps resounded through the room. Each of his steps left deep grooves on the floor as if he had weighed a significant event.

His eyes burned into them, and they could feel the fear starting to build in their bodies as he got closer.

”N-no... I have a—”

Snap!

His claws ripped the man’s head off, sending his lifeless body flying across the room. ”I don’t care.”

”A little girl, please spare me.” Another woman fell on her knees and begged.

Crack!

A long claw stabbed into her chest and then out of her back, blood spurting from it.

”She’ll be fine without a snake like you.”

A massacre ensued, with the sound of bones breaking, flesh tearing and cries of pain filling the air as Nikolai unleashed his rage, killing everyone that stood in front of him. He killed over fifty monsters in less than two minutes, showing the difference in strength between his current power and the past.

”Haa...”

With a low, exhaled breath, he looked at Valan, who struggled to stand with a broken leg.

”Y-You... how did you become so powerful?!” He stumbled, slipping on a streak of blood before he spoke with a fearful voice. ”Jin said you were almost killed by these bullets!”

’Jin?’

Nikolai thought, his mind going through familiar faces... until the face matched Ryan’s father.
