Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Because of this, there is a lack of guards available to protect her. Thank you in advance for taking the job despite being busy tonight.

\'It\'s not like I mind earning 50,000 just for a few hours of work.\'

Nikolai looked at the young vampire, although not as beautiful as Selene. Anya carried the beauty of an ethereal fairy, yet not Nikolai\'s type. Instead, she reminded him of a little girl who used to play with him in a small park before his mother passed away.

[She\'s older than you are. Don\'t you already know that using your blood art?]

[You are right, though... she feels a little familiar and is nothing like she was earlier. Maybe you slapping her ass in public shocked the poor thing.]

\'Poor thing? She\'s a vampire; if she really wanted to fight back, I would be dead, and how do you know she\'s familiar? You only existed a few days ago?\'

[No, she is quite weak. I don\'t know the specifics, but despite being a vampire, her strength is below even a typical thrall.]

[Examine her with your skill, and you\'ll see.]

\'Tsk...\'

Nikolai watched as she sat on his black leather sofa.

The material seemed to be quite expensive, but the little brat was leaning on the arm with her feet on top of the seat. At first, he felt quite irritated, but then, watching her enjoy simple television with a genuine smile, his anger faded.

"Hehe~ the stupid monkey prince lost to the third-rate warrior again."

Anya seemed to be a little immature despite her alluring dress sense. She was watching Serpent Sphere X like an excited child...

"Kukuku! Frozen, you are not dealing with a regular vampire, behold! I am an ultra vampire!"

On the screen, one of the original villains of the first arc was fighting an alien with a round head that wished to destroy the planet and make a wish using the serpent\'s special balls.

"Anya, Oi, Anya!"

"Eh?! W-What...." Her face turned bright red as she looked back before quickly turning away in shame. "You disturbed me... let me finish this episode."

"No, you can keep watching, but I\'m going to order dinner. What do you want to eat, or rather, does a dhampir eat human food--"

"Eh... How?! How do you know that?!"

Nikolai felt her eyes become fierce, different from her arguing before as her body began to flicker with a red aura, weaker than a vampire... Even the thrall that he fought felt kind of weak to him as she leapt off the sofa and seemed ready to fight.

Anya lifted her arms; while Nikolai watched her movements, his eyes able to capture every movement from the veins in her arms to the muscles and beating of her heart, all of it captured easily while she approached.

"My sister would never tell you, never... My sister is the only one that keeps me safe despite being known as the sin of the Tepes family!"

[Notes: The half-sister of Selen Aria Tepes, a child born without her vampire factor, awakened. Unable to awaken and treated like a plague by the clan, Selene cherishes and cares for her. Part of the reason Selene despises her father and stepmother.]

—⁂—

Nikolai\'s eyes widened when he noticed her bloodline was sealed. He felt there must be some kind of plot hidden in this Tepes family; otherwise, why would both her vampire bloodlines be sealed?

\'It feels strange, despite getting along with Selene, her bloodlines are sealed?\'

[Who knows, there are cases where human blood has mixed in with clans in the past, and it causes similar events, and the person will become a dhampir with no method to fix it.]

\'How do I tell her it\'s because I can see everything about her thanks to my [Blood Art] without making it into a fuss that will cause me more trouble?\'

[Impossible, rather... why don\'t you help her awaken and then she will stop being so annoying.]

\'I don\'t want to get involved with troublesome things like this... She\'s not my relative or friend.\'

[But she will stop trying to attack you... Do you want your new apartment ruined by her? She might be only half. However, her strength is higher than the world\'s strongest man.]

"Calm down, Anya!"

Nikolai\'s thoughts were much faster, and in the time it took Anya\'s fist to reach his body. He could easily tilt to the side, dodging it by a millimetre, before scooping her body and slamming her down on the cold wooden floor.

"Guha!"

"Bastard.... that hurt!"

"Ah? My bad, I forgot you were weak!" Nikolai gave a wry grin while rubbing the back of his head looking at the cute girl now bleeding from her nose and lips. "Hmm? Your blood smells just like Selene\'s."

The moment he noticed her scent, he couldn\'t help but think the strange words in her status must be related to her Tepes bloodline since the Royal blood came from her mother.

"Who is weak!"

Anya\'s eyes turned red as a bright crimson aura surrounded her body. Her voice became more high-pitched as her face twisted into a snarl.

"Me, I\'m strong! My sister told me I will awaken one day, then I can help her fight off the annoying guys who want to make her their wife!"

"Eh..."

Nikolai stood there, stunned. His hands blocked her rapid punches, much faster than a normal human yet to his eyes and special ability, as simple as taking candy from a baby.

\'It feels like when I swore to myself to help my dad... I can feel her desperate resolve...\'

"I\'m not weak, and I will never let those heartless beasts touch my sister and make her sad!"

\'So she\'s not as crazy as she acts but is guarded against others, especially men who approach her sister? Her actions are to protect her beloved sister. Although she might be a bit annoying, she\'s not a bad girl.\'

"Anya, I\'m not here to make her sad."

\'Besides, me and Selene could never end up like that...\'

"Liar! Liar! Liar!"

"Tsk, if I wanted to lie to you, I could, and you would never notice. I only work for money, no matter how sexy she is when drinking blood or how huge her breasts are!"

"Ugh... I knew it!"

"Oi, let me explain, Anya... Calm down, we can talk over some pizza."

"Talk? Why would I talk with a man who wants to take my sister away!"

\'This is getting nowhere...\'

Anya\'s body darted across the floor, slipping on the smooth wood because of her socks. Still, her speed was faster than an average human as she grabbed the wooden table and flung it towards Nikolai\'s face.

"What the fuck! What\'s wrong with you!?"

Before she could throw anything else, Nikolai caught the table with one hand and then her face with the other. The next moment, he slammed them both into the concrete part of the floor.

"Kaha!"

Nikolai lifted the table and placed it on the side of the sofa before pulling Anya out of the wreckage, her face bloody and tears flooding her face.

"Stop rampaging, or I\'ll kill you," Nikolai growled as his body became enveloped in a black aura.

"Ugh... Y-you can\'t kill me..."

"Want to try it?"

"N-no..."

"Good, let\'s get you cleaned up. Then you can tell me what\'s really bothering you and how you can repay me if I offer to help you."

\'A vampire princess who gives me money and one who owes me everything for allowing her bloodline to awaken... isn\'t that glorious for the future?\'

[You are not doing this just because you want to sleep with her, right?]

\'Nope, the only women I feel any sexual desire for are Selene and Nikita. Ever since I awakened, they are the only two women that make me want to forget my rational mind and throw them down and mate like wild beasts.\'

[Heh, you actually answered honestly?]

[Which is your favourite?]

\'Tsk, like it\'s fair... Nikita has been with me all my life, but Selene awakens something deep inside me... the wolf blood inside me wants to dominate her and make the little vampire princess surrender.\'

[Hahaha~ just like your father, such a cute boy, but why not just eat them both?]

"P....lease.... let go...." Anya\'s soft voice sounded, and as Nikolai realised each time he was embarrassed, he began to squeeze her throat tighter.

\'What benefits can you help me get if we awaken her? I assume that\'s what you think I should do, right?\'

[The little dhampir is going to die...]

"Oi, are you okay?"

"Y-yes, let me go...."

Anya\'s face turned a pale blue as she rubbed the back of her neck and looked down. It was the first time she lost, and it made her realise that maybe everyone else who faced her went easy on her... or maybe Nikolai was strong; she couldn\'t tell yet.

[Fufufu~ leave everything to big sister Eliza!]

\'You sound too old for a sister, though...\'
