Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 162: The Steps to Obsession and Adoration

In darkness, two figures peered from the massive bay window. Rain and grey clouds covered the sky, with thunder rumbling in the distance.

”My lady, it seems that he clashed with those filthy undead.”

The beautiful silver-haired werewolf spoke with a calm and clear voice.

ʼAfter all, Wilhelmina is the most talented spy.ʼ

Wilheminaʼs hands firmly grasped behind her back as she lowered her head. She wore a customised French maid outfit that rustled with her movements.

”Are you certain, about his partner not being that bitch of a dog?”

ʼIf he went there with Nikita, is it because he went to the south with me?ʼ

ʼNo! It cannot be—he wouldnʼt do that to me...ʼ

In a large black leather seat, with red cushions. Seleneʼs red eyes shone in the flash of lightning.

A sharp gaze and frown revealed in the momentary glow.

”My lady, our people from the club say it was a woman, with feline characteristics.”

”What?!”

The moment she heard the maidʼs words, her lips trembled. Seleneʼs eyes narrowed, a sharp gaze focused on the image of Nikolai on her bedside table.

Anger, frustration and jealousy festered inside her.

ʼIt seems my beloved is unable to control his crotch!ʼ

Seleneʼs head leaned against the chair, twisting her frown and forming a wicked grin. Her eyes flickered blue in the brilliant light.

ʼHe has another woman... I thought that little cat wasnʼt anything serious!ʼ

ʼI am so angry... if only I could leave and go to him.ʼ

”My Lady, are you alright?”

A concerned tone left her pale lips. Wilhelmina seemed worried for her mistress, yet couldnʼt speak those words. Instead, she stepped closer while taking documents from her pocket.

How magical an act while Selene took them, and her smile increased.

ʼOh... Nikolai, you cannot blame me for this.ʼ

ʼAfter all... itʼs you who made me become so serious about you.ʼ

ʼNever think I will be easy on these women!ʼ

”Fine, Wilhelmina, just FINE!”

Her voice was stern, filled with aggression. Selene closed her eyes and covered her face, a slight shudder. It almost seemed like she would burst into tears with trembling lips.

”Hahahaha~ Go! Find out what my dear husband had done, then report back to me.”

An array of dark, twisted thoughts and feeling filled her mind. Yet with a single deep breath, sucking in the air.

A moment later, Selene became calm. Her gaze drifted toward the werewolf beside her with a feeling of amusement.

ʼThis woman is also beautiful—would he touch even her?ʼ

ʼI cannot keep being so lenient. He must understand my feelings!ʼ

ʼKumiko... Risa... two beautiful and unwanted sluts!ʼ

Thought stirred. The blonde vampireʼs lips distorted into a bitter frown as she became wary of her maid. Selene felt everything changed after last night—feelings she hid and tried to control now overwhelmed her and forced Seleneʼs hand.

”Wilhelmina, do not fall for him.”

”Ha... your lady?! I have no interest in such things—”

A slightly bewildered voice. Yet the moment their eyes connected, the maidʼs body shuddered as if lightning struck her body.

”I understand, my lady.”

ʼGood!ʼ

ʼThis well trained bitch will always listen to me.ʼ

”Leave me—complete your task well. Wilhelmina.”

Seleneʼs eyes flickered between crimson and azure hues while her lips lifted, forming a cruel yet beautiful smile as she dismissed her maid.

”Very well, my lady.”

With that thought, Wilhelmina turned and left the room, a cold expression on her face. It seemed she felt anger towards the man named Nikolai.

ʼTo think those old people tried to annul my engagement with him!ʼ

ʼAh~ the looks on their faces when I revealed what happened last night, did they think I would leave him after letting him into my heart?!ʼ

A furious glint flickered in her sharp gaze. Selene hated the corrupt vampire court—even her father seemed to be weak to them.

All because her birth held a secret.

Meanwhile, the beautiful lady of the Tepes clan, their princess. They couldnʼt know she only thought of him. Her muse, beloved and now her target of obsession.

”Nikolai, Iʼll forgive you playing around now... but you if you go too far. Then I donʼt know what I might do~ you understand right, darling?”

Seleneʼs soft and loving voice echoed through the darkness as she held the photograph of him from several years ago. The image from when he joined the military training camp. A photo of him gazing towards the sun with a faint smile.

”Never~ you can never leave me.”

ʼNo dog, cat or fox will take you from me.ʼ

While the distant flash of lightning lit the sky, her vivid blue eyes carried an eerie glow.

Meanwhile, Nikolai held his hand out for Risa, lifting her from the black car with a smile.

”Come, my lady. Let me guide you.”

”Haha~ why are you being so strange?!ʼ

ʼBecause you look too delicious, and I cannot control my hunger.ʼ

However, instead of speaking, he just smiled. Nikolai lifted her off the ground before twirling around as he carried her inside the hotel.

”Nyaa~ stop! People are looking!”

Risaʼs face turned red, unable to endure the stares from others.

A cold breeze and light rain helped her sober up. Yet despite this, she still couldnʼt deny or push this man away.

ʼHer claws are digging into me, does she feel shy?ʼ

ʼHow adorable, little black cat.ʼ

He stopped playing around and entered the building with the embarrassed cat. It was their second time here, yet both were fully aware this time. So Risa held tight and leaned into him while they entered.

”Greetings, thank you for choosing the Imperium Hotel! How may I help you?”

”I booked a suit under the name Volkov.”

”Understood, let me confirm the booking.

CLANG—!

Nikolai didnʼt even look at the female concierge. He dropped his proof of booking and payment on the black marble desk. Instead, he focused on stroking the smooth, squishy cheeks of Risa.

”Risa, is there anything you want? I will order you anything tonight. Just this once, you can be greedy and ask for anything.”

A seductive and deep tone. The sudden voice vibrating in Risaʼs ears caused her body to quiver, a sudden excitement growing inside her. She couldnʼt help but gaze into his charming eyes.

”I want... you—”

”Haha.”

His laugh and that smile were so charming, and despite knowing he mocked her. Risaʼs heart couldnʼt stop racing, a fierce beat that felt as if it would jump from her throat.

”Wait! I didnʼt mean... not that... Nyaah...”

”I know, we can talk in the room, come on letʼs go.”

The concierge handed the keycard but could only watch as Nikolai walked away with Risa in his arms. With a sigh, her lips muttered. ”I wish a handsome man would do that for me...”

Meanwhile, the pair almost slipped out of her sight before she noticed them.

The concierge watched them enter the lift—her gaze fixated on Nikolaiʼs ferocious smile, causing the poor concierge to feel her heart flutter. ”So handsome!”

Yet the next customer came and snapped her out of that fantasy, a rich man.

However, a balding head and plump waist...

Never the prince charming she desired.

”Hello there beautiful—how about I buy you a bottle of wine, and you come to my room tonight.”

ʼYet another night in this damned hotel full of boars.ʼ

”Forgive me sir, but I am working until tomorrow afternoon, please could you show your proof of booking and proof of identity.”

Nikolai would never know—this little student would come to enjoy just meeting him every time he came to stay at the Imperium.

A momentary fantasy in a life of normalcy.

***

Inside the elegantly furnished lift, Nikolai struggled to stop himself.

Nikolai endured a violent thirst for blood. His Frenzy. Yet he held back, wanting to avoid making the cat in his arms become scared.

ʼRisa is too important to treat like fast food, now she is a little special.ʼ

”What are you thinking about, Nyah?”

”You.”

”Nyah?!”

Risaʼs lovely face twisted, turning bright red as she struggled in his chest. Nikolai, however, just smirked at her futile struggle.

”Iʼve ordered room service, those drinks you liked should be waiting for us.”

A gentle gaze, his husky voice making Risaʼs tail fluff up unable to endure his charm.

She couldnʼt resist, and with the low melodic music playing from the elevator speakers, a gentle whir echoed from above. Risa felt secure, something different from her motherʼs arms when she was young.

ʼI wonder if this curious cat regrets playing around the first time we met.ʼ

”You just want me to get drunk again, such a wicked man!”

”Then I donʼt have to hold back anymore right?”

Ding—!

A single racy thought filled Risaʼs mind. But the sound of the lift arriving at their floor awoke her.

Nikolaiʼs scent calmed her. She felt like the most important girl in the world, and right now, this place in his arms was something that only belonged to her.

”No...”

Risaʼs response was quiet and soft, like a rabbitʼs sigh.

But it didnʼt matter to him.

”You canʼt change your answer anymore—come to our room.”

***

”Nyaha~”

ʼWhy am I doing this, the cat is having fun playing around on my shoulders.ʼ

ʼTo think she would become so drunk...ʼ

Nikolai could only blame his enthusiasm, thinking the alcohol he had bought wasnʼt strong or that she would enjoy them.

Yet after four cocktails, the charming catʼs legs stopped working. .net

ʼSo much for that night in bed with her.ʼ

Now, she sat on his lap with a non-alcoholic cocktail in hand. Yet somehow, he couldnʼt quite become angry. Instead, he just watched, waiting for her to recover.

ʼWell, the night is still long, letʼs just pamper this cat first.ʼ
