Chapter 131: The Shy Princess
Wilhelmina\'s lips, which rarely changed shape even when speaking, slowly lifted, forming a faint smile as she looked at the face of Nikolai on her shoulder. A feeling of kinship while she walked back to the room wondering what state her mistress might be in.
\'To think that they cross the line so soon. I knew my mistress was a very thirsty woman, but to jump on this young boy while pretending to be the same age...\'
"Well, he is quite handsome, and his strange charm when fighting is fitting of Uncle Ivan\'s son. Good work today, little cousin."
Although not directly from the Volkov family, the twin werewolves who served the Tepes family were, in fact, branch members of the Volkov family born from their previous relationship with the Fenrir family.
However, when the accident happened on Nikolai\'s eighth birthday, the family became the centre of chaos and fell apart. Thus, someone who was close to Nikolai. Selene asked for the sisters to become her maids and help her family to keep them from suffering the same fate as the rest of the Volkov bloodline.
"One day... You will have to face that night. I just hope you can endure and overcome it."
Wilhelmina stroked Nikolai\'s silver hair with a gentle ruffle, her fingertips stroking his cheek before she entered the private room, and her smile faded.
The next moment, she placed him on the bed in the centre of the room beside Selene, who seemed to have cleaned the bed and her body while Nikolai was having fun with his rampage.
\'It seems the princess\'s phone won\'t stop ringing... those old fools should have known better.\'
With a mocking smile reflected in the mirror, Wilhelmina began to delete the messages from Selene\'s phone while noting all the ones who used vulgar insults towards the pair, writing them in her small pad with her smile turning into a wicked grin.
\'These idiots! How dare they insult the heir to the Tepes family and the Volkov legacy! If only Vlad weren\'t part of the peaceful faction against wars...\'
Wilhelmina shook her head before taking out another phone; this one seemed to have a picture of her and her sister on the screen and only two numbers in the directory.
Ivan and Sister.
She quickly pressed the Sister entry and waited for the dial tone to start before answering in a low, rough R-Union Accent.
"Sister, is that you? We have some nobles to \'Visit\' tonight!"
***
Selene\'s eyes flickered when Wilhelmina left, her eyes slowly opening as she felt two arms wrapped around her aching body.
\'Despite being a vampire... why does my body still hurt?\' She looked down to see Nikolai\'s arms holding her tightly, and she smiled, remembering what happened before she passed out in bed. Her face turned red, and she covered her mouth with her hand to muffle the squeal threatening to escape her lips.
"We really had sex?!"
Her mind became chaotic as she tried to think of what to do now. Her parents were probably livid at her for not waiting and going behind their backs, and the other vampire noble houses would be furious at the idea she would have a child with a werewolf, let alone someone from the Volkov family!
\'But I am so happy~ he called my name like the past!\'
Selene really couldn\'t care about the nobles or families chasing her—for the longest time, to keep her family safe, she played safe and pretended to be neutral, all while waiting for the moment she would meet Nikolai.
Although she planned to meet him one day, she didn\'t know the future, nor could she control it like the Báthory clan, but his mother\'s last letter told her and guided all of her actions until that night she met him, and she awakened him.
"I bet you have no idea how hard it was to pretend to hate you and not know you. I didn\'t want to affect your memories and mind before you became the same Nikolai I knew and loved..." Selene\'s hand stroked his cheek, her soft lips pressing against his face with a quiet smack sound.
\'If I had told you, I\'d known you since you were a kid. I wonder what would have happened?\'
Selene\'s smile faded before she kissed his cheek again, this time her hands moving down to his waist.
Her eyes became cloudy as she moved to straddle him, the bed shifting under their weight as her hands went further as if to ensure this wasn\'t her delusion or dream. Yet the delightful ache between her thighs and the swollen area allowed her heart to stop with its needless fears.
"I love you, I always missed you from the moment you lost your memories..."
"Did you know..."
She began to speak of the things that happened to her after they parted. Though Nikolai remained unconscious for Selene, it was like her heart was being unloaded of all her burdens and sorrows.
The corner of her lips lifted, a smile of pure joy as she kissed his nose, forehead and lips with small pecks.
Her body shuddered when she felt his arms pull her down and wrap her in a tight embrace, and she couldn\'t help but blush when her face was buried into his muscular chest, the thick scent of sweat and his natural musk filling her nose.
"You seemed to know when I was sad... even when you forgot me, each time you would come and annoy me. But when arguing with you, it always made me so happy that I almost lost control... so I snapped or said harsh things."
"Thank you... thank you for always coming to me when I didn\'t expect it. I know it is not fair to you... but please don\'t forget me again..."
Selene\'s voice began to tremble as she felt the memories of their past return, her heart beating faster as she tried to stop herself from doing something he might not like or wake him, breaking this moment for her.
The wound on her shoulder was illuminated in the artificial moonlight from the window; after the auction ended, they used magic to create a reflection of the human world\'s current time and sky in S-city.
The red scar on his teeth, a strange yet beautiful mark, showed to all werewolves and males that she was his mate. Though vampires didn\'t have the same tradition, she made sure her fang marks would never heal on his neck in return, Selene\'s fingers stroking them, thin, delicate and shaped like her teeth.
\'But Nikita marked him first. I can still smell her scent. It clings to his body and makes my chest tighten...\'
Selene\'s heart began to pound harder, her mind racing with thoughts of what to do. She didn\'t want to lose him again. Or want to be left behind, and the thought of him leaving with Nikita or another woman in the future made her chest ache.
"Idiot... why did you have to become so handsome and charming? You were supposed to be only mine, we promised."
Her eyes narrowed, a slightly angry gleam of red before she felt something poking her thigh; the moment she realised what it was, Selene released a sigh. "You are unbelievable... so much, and it\'s hard again... then, since I can\'t use there... how about my mouth this time?"
Thus, as the room filled with moonlight returned to the sound of flesh sliding across flesh and the bed slightly creaking, Selene knelt between Nikolai\'s thighs, with stands of saliva dripping between her lips as she lowered her head.
The next morning, Nikolai woke up to the sound of his alarm bleeping, causing the soft creature in his arms to stir. He looked down to see Selene\'s messy blonde bed hair, her face buried in his chest. Her soft breathing was tickling his bare flesh, and the feeling of her warm skin pressing against him made him smile, a sense of contentment and happiness that he couldn\'t describe.
\'Lena...\'
The moment he called her nickname in his mind, the events of yesterday came rushing back, and he remembered everything that transpired, though it was like watching from another perspective at that moment.
\'We really...?\'
Nikolai slipped his arms from Selene, slowly sliding them away until he could sit up and look at the sleeping blonde vampire who lay on his lap. Her face with a cheeky little smile, while her cute nose snorted occasionally with a cute snore.
He didn\'t know if it was the heat or the fact he was looking at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but he wanted nothing more than to kiss her.
Yet, the moment he tried to lean down, a sudden sensation from between his thighs caused him to stop and look down, his face turning red with embarrassment as he saw the cause... a thick string of his fluids was attached to her chest like sticky, silvery bridges, with her lipstick covering the skin.
\'Did she do that when I slept? I don\'t remember her doing that while I was awake... haha...\'
Nikolai was speechless as he tried to think of what to say, but the more he thought about it, the more amused he felt, and he couldn\'t help but laugh. \'How the hell did I get into this situation?\' He thought, trying not to wake her.
"Lena, it\'s time to wake up." His hands reached out to the table beside them and pulled some wet wipes to clean her chest and lips and began to clean her with a smile.
\'God, she\'s so beautiful...\'
The more he looked at her, the more he felt his body react, his manhood throbbing and swelling under the sheets that covered them, his breathing quickening, and his heart thumping in his chest. \'I wonder what she\'ll think when she sees my reaction... let\'s calm down. She is full of bite marks, love bites and bruises already.\'
Thankfully, as her eyes began to flicker he finally calmed down, her cute, sleepy face gazing up at him while rubbing her narrowed eyes. "Kai?" Her voice was soft and filled with sleep, making his heart flutter as he leaned down to press his lips to her forehead and then her cheek before finally kissing her lips.
"Morning, Lena, how\'s the sleep?" His fingers gently brushed a loose strand of her hair from her face, his thumb stroking her cheek.
"Kya..." Her eyes widened as she grabbed the quilt to cover her chest and his lower body.
It was the first time he saw Selene acting embarrassed or so cute. It was like the cold and proud Selene from before had disappeared. This was the true Lena, and she was adorable and even sexier than before.
"Nik...Kai, do you remember? Everything?"
Nikolai nodded as he looked into her eyes, his own reflecting the same love that was mirrored in her gaze.
"Well, there are things I don\'t remember about that night, but I know we met first and made a promise at that little park on the swings."
"!!!"
\'However, I don\'t remember the actual promise... just the bright face you made when we did, Selene.\'
