Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

The atmosphere of the VIP room gradually warmed, becoming a boiling pot for excitement and seduction, just as Nikolai wanted.

Ryan wanted to speak with Nikolai at first. But soon he became enthralled by the brunette and redhead who now sat beside him, serving his drinks and asking questions about his job and life.

"Hm?"

"What's wrong, Nikolai?

Risa noticed that Nikolai's eyes moved from the image of the beautiful Kumiko in her mature form, dancing and singing to the music on the screen. She then traced his gazed, alternating between the rooms for them.

'It seems that someone doesn't like our group being here.'

Since the drinking games started to calm down, with Ryan almost being ravaged by the two human women, Nikolai was ready to call it to an end. "Ryan, let's send those lovely girls back. Ask for their numbers if you want them, of course."

"Huh?" Ryan didn't seem to fully notice the situation and glanced at the two girls with a merry smile before asking for their numbers.

Nikolai closed his eyes and concentrated on his hearing.

Thanks to his enhanced senses, he could hear the slight shifting from the rooms beside them, despite the expensive sound proofing.

"Are we going to get them?" A gruff voice asked, almost reeking of impatience.

"Wait… they are with the club's women, let's give them a chance to lower their guard."

Nikolai's lips curled into a faint smile, while the elegant singing voice of Kumiko did constantly offer the most sublime background music. He couldn't help but thank the people in the room beside him for letting him wake up and smell the coffee.

"Risa." Nikolai muttered in a voice so low, a mouse might not hear it.

"What's wrong?" Her body leaned closer, noticing his intent. She then wrapped her hands around his white ear and asked him.

"There are people likely to cause trouble shortly, help the human girls escape then pretend to be a helpless woman and sit beside me with Kumiko, let her know."

He couldn't help but feel ticklish from her touch and the vibrations from her whispers directly into his delicate wolf's ears, but Nikolai didn't mind.

"Understood."

Soon after Risa responded, she looked at the two half-drunk girls, and struggling to continue their act of being good girls. "You two should head back. It's almost the end of your shift, right? The two sir's have something to discuss without us here."

"Ah, true, but don't forget me." The brunette called out to Ryan, blowing him a kiss. While different from earlier, the red head directly kissed his cheek and rushed out with the business card he gave to her.

"Phew, make sure they leave the VIP area safely, Risa."

PAH~♡

Nikolai slapped Risa's buttocks as she hopped after the two women, leaving the room with a bounce in her step and red cheeks.

"I'll be quick~ don't do anything without me, okay?" Risa's overly sweet voice made Nikolai's cheeks tingle before he turned away and focused on the seductive kitsune currently swaying her hips to a rap song.

"Nikolai?" Ryan called out to Nikolai with a slightly hoarse voice after the door closed again. His eyes slightly dilated from the alcohol.

"What's the matter, Ryan?"

Though he wanted to speak more naturally, Nikolai couldn't relax around Ryan because of his father, and that made his chest ache, as if someone were stabbing him with a sharp knife.

'I guess I haven't reached the stage where I can just drop an old friend yet.'

"Why did you send them away, is something wrong?"

Despite being drunk, Ryan seemed to have a sense that something wasn't quite right. This side of him was something that Nikolai valued.

He turned to Ryan, while rocking his wine glass and taking a sip. "The rooms beside us are plotting something, they are a mixture of vampires and werewolves. Drink your antidote and sober up, before they come crashing in."

The moment he heard Nikolai's words, Ryan shook his head before rummaging in his chest for a small black vial. But the moment he opened it, the foul smell spread through the room and made Kumiko and Nikolai gag.

"Ugh, what is that horrible smell?" Kumiko's deep, raspy voice echoed through the microphone that she quickly placed down while walking back to Nikolai.

"It's something to help you remain aware, when facing a dangerous situation while inebriated."

Nikolai sounded pretentious, but Kumiko just smiled at him, before sitting beside him and wrapping her arms around his. After the night of games and flirting, she was more comfortable with Nikolai now.

Kumiko leaned closer to his ear, her nose sniffing his hair slightly, before her voice quietly echoed in his ears. "Is there anything you need me to do, Nikolai?"

He turned to the beautiful woman and smiled. "You just need to answer the door when they knock, and make sure they cause trouble. Please do that for me."

Her face looked a little confused, though the request wasn't difficult. She also found it a little whimsical and with so much left to interpret.

Not too long after he asked Kumiko, the door opened with Risa rushing inside, her lips curled into a crescent moon while she skipped back to her place and jumped beside Nikolai, humming to herself in a good mood.

"You were right, Nikolai!" Risa spoke with a hushed but energetic voice, gazing at him with an impressed expression.

"I know, how many were already preparing?"

"There were four or five wolves, but thankfully they let the humans go, both of them finished work an hour ago anyway."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The sneaky face of Risa always made Nikolai smile. She gazed up at him with a proud face before hugging his right side tighter. "Will it be okay, darling?"

"Darling?" Ryan's eyes returned to normal.

Although the monsters could recover from sniffing the potion, the poor human swallowed it and collapsed for a few moments. He now looked at Nikolai with a completely shocked face, likely unaware that he knew the two monster girls from the start.

"Who is she to call you that?" Ryan continued, while rubbing his eyes and taking out his pistol and checking it over.

"This is Risa my lover, and future wife."

Nikolai promised to treat her like Nikita and Selene, so he did. Rather than give an ambiguous introduction, a straight and honest one would be best. Though, he noticed Risa's cheeks becoming deep red the moment he did, and couldn't help but smile himself.

'Such a lovely and cute woman.'

"Tsk, you have such great luck with women now. I remember back in the past." Ryan complained, before looking at Kumiko, who didn't even bother with Ryan. Instead, she was leaning on Nikolai's shoulder with her eyes closed.

Ryan wouldn't know, but Kumiko needed to take moments of rest while using a clone, so her mature clone was resting at this moment.

However, because it looked like flirting, Ryan became even more jealous.

"This is Kumiko, she is well… a potential bride candidate for me in the future." Continue reading at empire

Risa and Kumiko's ears flickered before their eyes instantly widened, snapping to Nikolai with shocked looks on both women's faces.

Knock! Knock!

Before he could answer them, the doors sounded and many rowdy voices leaked through it as they didn't seem to have any desire to hide themselves.

"A rowdy bunch." Nikolai ignored the looks of the three people watching him, and instead he reached out and stroked Kumiko's cheek and gazed into her lovely golden eyes.

"Can you take care of the door like I asked Kumi?" The way he spoke with a gentle and caring voice made her body shudder, a magnetic force jolting through her body as Kumiko rushed to her feet, and skittered to the door enthusiastically.

Risa and Ryan both looked at Nikolai with horrible eyes, then turned to Kumiko who opened the door with a pleasant smile while swaying her fox tails in the air.

"Hello~ who might it be? Oh, my? Are you guests, what could you want with us?"

The leading pair of males weren't bad looking, one with dull grey hair and light blue eyes and beside him a male with a bald head, but he didn't look that disgusting.

"Huh? A filthy slut dares speak to the young master?" One of the men from behind grunted, while the others nodded in agreement as the bald vampire smirked, snorting at Kumiko.

Kumiko didn't know how to respond, though she didn't care for these rubbish calling her beautiful. It made her feel dirty to be insulted by garbage like them.

As she huffed, a calm and deep voice echoed from inside the room.

"I never expected the Nosferatu's taste in women to be so bad, well, they love sleeping with corpses, so I guess it should be expected."

When Nikolai's voice echoed through the room, the face of the bald vampire and the wolf beside him twisted.

Meanwhile, for Kumiko, who turned to face Nikolai to see his confident face, she felt a flutter in her chest. The pair interacted little, and thanks to the alcohol and her clone carrying her feelings of excitement and desire, she ended up flirting a little too deeply with him.

"Oh…"

But when Nikolai defended her, she couldn't help but leave the door, and rushed back beside him and dropped into his left arm, the space she kept warm all night. The moment he hugged her, she glared at the men at the door with an angry snort. "Necrophiliac bastards."
