Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Meanwhile, Selene\'s face was bright red, her lips curled into a pout while glaring at the back of Nikolai as she tried to catch her breath.

\'It was supposed to stop at a kiss!\' She felt annoyed that once again Nikolai took advantage of her and did the same thing to her as he did back in the VIP arena room. \'This bastard...\'

Selene\'s face looked flushed with rosy red cheeks her eyes soft and wet despite her anger.

"Hurry up, stop taking so long! Otherwise, people will find out what we did!" She spoke in a low voice, yet because of her emotions, it was quite aggressive.

"I am sure they heard you earlier, Selene. For a princess, why are you so loud? Like a yowling cat."

"You?!"

Nikolai looked back with a slight smirk; after they began to kiss, he teased her a little. However, this princess, who acted prim and proper, soon asked him to repeat what he did the night before with her expectant eyes. "Who was it that begged me to do that?"

"No... It wasn\'t me... Hmph!" Selene\'s head turned the other way as she stomped on the ground with a clack, her heel almost snapping from the sheer power.

The pair, despite their bickering, seemed to be quite in sync with each other as his hand wrapped around hers, and they walked to the door together. Not just their actions but even the length of their stride were perfectly aligned.

Selene looked down, her face bright red while pushing her lips together and closing her eyes tight as the door opened. "Y-You cannot tell the wolf! Everything that happened is a secret!" She had a lovely voice with a cute tone like she did something naughty and was afraid to get caught by someone.

"Oh? Then what\'s in it for me? I always seem to do as you please, little princess."

Nikolai gripped her hand while the pair walked towards the exit—once they left, the Nexus portal would be waiting for them.

What interested Nikolai was the fact the nexus portal didn\'t just take people to worlds, but there were specific recreational zones that had things like the opera, a casino and various high-level clubs and bars that were open all day and night. \'It\'s like a never-ending party here.\'

"Eh, what do you mean for you? Didn\'t you like that?"

His eyes watched the surroundings, a red carpet with beautiful golden patterns in the shape of various flowers, some Nikolai recognised while others were created in the other worlds.

"That?" Nikolai smirked, speaking with a suggestive tone as if to make the princess say it out loud as various monsters, both noble and rich, passed them while giving a brief look before vanishing into the crowds.

He liked the golden border along the opera walls and carpet with various years and acts that were memorable etched into them.

"Y-You know! Don\'t be like that... Idiot, so embarrassing. I should just kill you now!." Selene seemed unable to handle it when Nikolai stopped acting respectfully and started flirting or speaking about the naughty things she asked him to do in the VIP box. "I\'ll do the same for you. So, stop teasing me..."

"Hmm? That sounds like a good deal, but when?"

The pair came to the grand entrance, with several staircases like a palace leading to one of the three performance rooms and various people buying the goods that were running out of stock while Selene already bought everything. \'She seems to be quite aggressive. I thought she would be more innocent and well-behaved.\'

Selene\'s face was bright red, the blush reaching the tips of her slightly pointed ears as she stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to Nikolai\'s ear. "Next time, I will do it... okay? Is that enough? Hmmph!" Her voice was soft yet bashful, making Nikolai chuckle to himself.

As he expected, Selene had much potential, possibly even more than Nikita, with these things, especially if she put her mind to something. "Of course. Just tell me when..." His mouth curled up into a grin, a mischievous feeling growing in his mind. "Little kitten."

"I am not a cat!"

After they left the opera heading towards the rest area, the door to their VIP room opened with a cat-eared maid cleaning inside—her nose twitched before she noticed the various stains on the carpet and let out a sigh. "These damn nobles love doing such unwelcome things here!"

***

The Nexus was a wonderful place. Nikolai and Selene sat in the cool breeze while watching the stars and two large moons, one a dark crimson and the other a light blue. They were in a recreation area, a beautiful garden with flowers, bushes, trees and several other things.

However, Nikolai\'s focus wasn\'t on them; instead, he gazed at Selene\'s face, the crimson moon in the backdrop of her profile.

Selene pushed out her lips while pouting, her cheeks slightly red while her legs bounced up and down as if impatient. "Stop looking at me! It makes me feel strange..." Her voice was stern, yet cute, but her face was adorable.

"Hm, is that so? How does it make you feel \'strange\' then?" Nikolai\'s hand rested on his chin, his elbow resting on his knee in a relaxed position. "Strange like this?"

His fingers touched her cheek, gently stroking her soft, pale skin with his thumb, and her breath seemed to hitch, her chest rising and falling. "N-No... Not like that... Ah... I hate you! You keep making me feel irritated and weird!" She seemed quite angry, even stomping on his foot and hitting his arm.

However, Nikolai, who was now accustomed to pain, realised she wasn\'t using her true power and was likely just embarrassed and not used to the situation. Her taps were like a child, and his body could barely feel when she stomped on him.

As for Selene, she looked around before taking a deep breath. \'I really... This is hard...\' She bit her lip as she stood up and leapt towards the wall.

Selene soon sat atop the wall, using her agile movements while kicking her legs and gazing at the glistening water. Beneath was a beautiful artificial river with many colourful aquatic monsters swimming around, both fish and humanoid.

\'Ah... He\'s there...\' She sighed, letting her body fall backwards to lie against his chest with a slight smile, his arms wrapped around her stomach.

"You know, if I told my dad what you did, he would kill you, right?" Despite saying something like a threat, Nikolai noticed the beautiful smile and soft gaze in her crimson eyes, looking up at him, her ears twitching as if listening to the beat of his heart.

"Hmm... Do you want to tell your dad?"

"Eh, not really, haha... Because then my mothers would interrogate me and learn the truth~ I\'m so stupid." Her fingers tapped against the wall while she seemed to relax in his embrace, but her words seemed to spark an idea in her mind.

"What exactly would you tell them?"

"E-Eh! It\'s just... Don\'t ask that!"

\'Well, this princess seems to have a dirty mind.\' Nikolai chuckled, kissing her neck before she let out a stifled moan.

"Ahh~... N-No... Don\'t do that here! I will fight you for real..."

"Then when we\'re alone, in private, it\'s okay?" His voice was low, and when his deep voice vibrated in her sensitive ears, she couldn\'t help but shudder and bite her lower lip.

\'This bad guy, he knows I feel strange and keeps pushing me!\'

However, Selene wasn\'t against it and nodded her head while her eyes glanced to the side as she looked away from his eyes with a slight pout. "Well, Fine... You better make it feel as good as last time, okay? Otherwise... I will tell my dad and that damn dog! Then have them kill you!"

"This perverted vampire is trying to blackmail me?!" Nikolai joked with a gasp.

\'Who is a pervert?! You stupid beast! It\'s all your fault!\' Selene shouted in her head while his cheeks turned a darker shade of red, leaning against his muscular chest. \'Ah... his muscles feel really hard and comfortable.\'

However... their moment was suddenly interrupted by a sudden group of voices, some familiar to Selene causing her face to become dark.

"Oh my, if it isn\'t the princess of the Tepes family, and who is she with so intimately?" Maximilian Faust\'s arrogant voice echoed through the night while several other nobles seemed to be beside him.

There was a small crowd of vampires, and the first Selene noticed was the annoying ones who kept chasing her around. Not only was there Maximilian Faust, an annoying vampire with slick blonde hair that was swept back, but his skin was pale white and looked sickly.

Then, beside him was the heir to the Nosferatu clan, a bald and ugly male with a pale face like he was ill, yet he was also very thin and frail looking.

\'Damn it... What a collection of bugs to find. How annoying...\' She thought to herself while wondering how to avoid conflict. She knew Nikolai would fight Alistair Faust in three weeks so that Maximilian couldn\'t challenge him, but there were at least four squires with the nobles today.

"I don\'t remember giving any of you permission to approach me in private, though." Selene\'s voice was regal, filled with confidence and a commanding tone.

This was her usual haughty tone that she used when first meeting Nikolai, yet after drinking his blood, she couldn\'t treat him that way anymore.

It felt irritating, yet she had already allowed him to step into her life beyond any of these suitors of hers.

"Oh, it\'s that filthy werewolf pet you have taken into your care." Maximilian\'s words caused all the noble\'s faces to change; he ignored Selene\'s words completely instead of pushing his agenda.

Therefore, she hated the other royals and noble vampires because they didn\'t give any respect to female vampires. "Oi Dog, you can leave now. We have business with your master!" Maximilian gave such a crass and rude remark to Nikolai, causing Selene\'s chest to tighten.

\'I don\'t like it when they say such things about him... but why?!\'

"Master? What are you talking about? Moron! She\'s my woman." Nikolai spoke with a casual voice, not one of arrogance nor ignorance, but as if he was merely speaking the truth. This caused all the nobles\' eyes to go wide.

\'Oh... Eh?!... He called me his woman, ah... this idiot! They will attack him for sure... Yet...

my chest no longer feels stuffy... Hm?!\' Nikolai suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered. "There\'s never a dull night with you, Selene."

""I... Mmmph?!" While her face turned bright red, Nikolai took advantage and kissed her lips while his hands held her cheeks, and his fingers intertwined in her hair.

It wasn\'t deep, but the feeling of his tongue licking her soft lips was like a firework in her mind and body. The vampires, who were watching with their eyes wide, became furious and began cursing and spitting at the sight.

It was at that moment that Selene felt her chest racing faster and realised something about this man who kept causing her trouble.

\'Ah... I also love there is never a dull moment with you...\'
