Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

By the time Brian and Nikolai reached the car, everything ended.

Nikolai scanned the scene with a keen gaze. The aura of the two women now completely faded. He checked the wounds on Luke and Maria and found that one bite to the throat ended the male's life, while Maria suffered more, but…

Ba-Dump

A faint beating echoed in his ears, like a mouse limping.

"Maria is alive, hurry and get a medic."

His sudden voice caused the others to rush. They believed the flaming wreckage meant the worst and couldn't bring themselves to check.

Yet, the moment he revealed the truth, Brian and Alex rushed into action, but Ryan shocked Nikolai the most. He rushed past the others and suddenly joined the efforts to help Maria out of the car and into the second jeep.

"Hm…"

Risa stood beside Nikolai, who observed the situation with his sharp gaze. Her hand wrapped around his arm before she leaned against him. The slight weight of her body spread warmth through his body, allowing Nikolai to calm himself.

"Are we just being paranoid that everything seems connected to the Nosferatu?" Nikolai's question confused Risa because he rarely shared his thoughts so directly. She peeked at his expression, noticing him peeking down at her with a faint smile.

"I don't think you're paranoid… hasn't there been a lot of evidence?"

Nikolai couldn't deny her response, yet something seemed off about this situation. He didn't believe that the Nosferatu would be so sloppy if they wished to attack him or these groups. Otherwise, everyone would have died with no chance of survival.

'I don't think it's them, it might be someone working with the Nosferatu acting on their own.'

"Let's be careful from now on, the city isn't safe enough to roam alone."

"It should be okay if we travel in a group, though, right?"

"Yeah…"

The two continued to converse as Brian and Alex helped Ryan place Maria in the back seat of the jeep. They all noticed the strange wounds on her body, but no one said anything, as they were too focused on helping her survive.

"She'll be fine, because of her werewolf blood." Suddenly, a soft voice sounded from Nikolai's right, before wrapping his arm around her body.

"Nikita?"

"Yes, darling?" Her eyes glanced up at him.

Thankfully, she recovered from the frenzy enough to move and talk normally.

"How is your body?"

"I'm fine, thanks to you."

"Hm…"

He leaned down and kissed her lips before letting go of Risa. She pouted but said nothing because she understood Nikita also deserved comfort after what happened. The two women glared at each other for a moment before turning away with a huff.

Nikolai smiled wryly before walking toward the jeep with Maria inside.

"Ryan, are you leaving?"

The sudden voice seemed to shock his friend, who turned around and when he noticed Nikolai, Ryan sighed in relief.

"Fuck, man, I thought it was another monster or some shit."

"Nope, just me." Nikolai smiled before asking again.

"Are you leaving?"

"Y-Yeah, the specialised hospital is about 30 minutes from here, so we need to hurry."

"Alright, take care of yourself, but you know she's part werewolf, right? Will that cause an issue at an SSS hospital?"

Ryan froze for a second before nodding.

"I'm sure it will be fine, I'll make sure to keep her safe."

"Alright, then I'll see you later. Be careful, the enemy seems to have a personal grudge against our teams."

Ryan's eyes flashed with a sudden light, but he nodded and jumped into the passenger side of the jeep.

Alex got into the driver's seat while Brian took the wheel of the other car. Once everything settled, the vehicles drove off. The small, desolate village became quite silent after they vanished, leaving Nikolai, Risa and Nikita alone.

"We should head back too, I don't want to stay here any longer than necessary."

Risa spoke softly before grabbing Nikolai's hand. He nodded and led the way through the forest, retracing their steps.

'Why are we going this way?'

He wondered until they came to a small clearing and found several cars, including a jeep, van, and executive car, sitting in the darkness, with Leona, Selene, and Kumiko waiting.

When they saw Nikolai and the girls, they rushed over.

"Young Lord, are you okay?" Leona asked first, checking his body for injuries.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"What happened? We heard gunshots and explosions."

Kumiko questioned next, her eyes filled with worry as she scanned him.

"I'll explain once we get back to the mansion, let's leave this place quickly."

Nikolai closed his eyes before slipping into the executive car. Beside him, Nikita and Selene sat as close as physically possible, the soft sensation of their bodies pressing against him. Leona drove in front, and facing him, Risa and Kumiko sat, both looking at him from time to time.

The atmosphere remained heavy as the vehicle moved swiftly through the forest, eventually reaching the main road and heading back to the mansion.

He wanted to talk at first about the tower and things that happened in more detail, but the moment Nikolai sat between the four women, his eyes became heavy, like someone poured sand into his eyelids, weighing them down. Only then did he notice Amphitrite gazing through the rearview mirror at him with a concerned look.

'Sorry, I'll tell you guys later.'

With those final thoughts, he drifted off to sleep.

"N-Nikolai?" Selene's voice called his name when she felt the weight of his head on her shoulder. Her lips curled into a gentle smile as she noticed he began sleeping.

"Aww, he's asleep," Risa pouted, wanting to cuddle with him too.

Nikita snorted but said nothing, enjoying the warmth radiating from his body. Her eyelids flickered as she dozed off, and the events of the night were quite tiresome.

"It seems he worked hard tonight."

Kumiko noticed the signs of exhaustion on his body from their time in the caves. She gazed back at Amphitrite with a concerned flick crossing over her face. "I am sure he'll be back to normal after some sleep."

Leona nodded, keeping her focus on driving while the others chatted softly. She glanced at Nikolai through the rearview mirror, noticing his peaceful expression as he slept soundly.

"It's rare seeing him so at peace." She added, before slowing the engine and keeping the disruptions to a minimum.

The rest of the journey passed by quietly, with everyone lost in their thoughts. Finally, they reached the mansion, where Leona parked the car near the entrance.

In the end, the maids helped move Nikolai to the mansion.

When he opened his eyes, Nikolai found himself lying on an enormous bed. Four women all hugged his limbs while breathing softly. The familiar scent of Risa and Nikita mixed with the fragrance of Selene and Kumiko, creating a pleasant aroma that surrounded him.

He tried to move, but the four girls clung tightly to him, making it difficult for him to escape without waking them.

In the end, he closed his eyes once again.

A few hours later, the women started to stir, their eyes fluttering open one by one. Risa was the first to wake up, stretching her arms above her head before turning to look at Nikolai.

As she noticed he was awake, a mischievous grin spread across her face. She leaned forward and kissed him passionately on the lips, causing the other three girls to wake up immediately.

"Hey, you can't take advantage!" Nikita's voice sounded out, followed by Selene and Kumiko's laughter.

"Don't be so jealous, Nikita. You can kiss him next, okay?"

Selene rolled onto her side and quietly observed the situation.

Though they still became jealous and fought, none of them wanted to make Nikolai worry or become sick of them. So, they tried to act as best as they could, even if it meant swallowing their pride.

Nikolai watched as the four women interacted with each other, feeling grateful for their presence in his life.

After a few moments of playful chitchat, the group decided to get out of bed and start their day. They went downstairs to have breakfast together and then discussed the new member, Amphitrite, further.

"By the way, where is she?" Nikolai asked, sitting in the head seat and gazing at the four women, who each enjoyed a different type of breakfast.

Because of her pregnancy, Nikita preferred sour jam and toast, while Selene chose a fruity blackberry scone and tea.

'That's a little strange, why is Selene eating human food?'

Normally, even at breakfast, only Nikolai would eat human food, while the others have special meals prepared with blood or other substances to suit their racial needs.

He kept this difference in mind and let it pass for now because he noticed a beautiful woman stepping inside, wearing a maid outfit.

"Good morning, Master." Amphitrite bowed slightly before moving toward the table and placing a plate in front of him, causing Nikolai's lips to twitch.

"Why are you dressed as a maid, Amphitrite?"

Nikolai's chest fluttered. The mere presence of her relaxed him. He didn't know what had changed, but he felt comfortable around her, like a fish returning to water.

She smiled gently before sitting on his right thigh, causing the other women's eyes to become sharp. Their hands clenched the silver in their hands.

"I thought it would be appropriate to blend in, since I will be staying here for a while."

"You don't have to serve me as a maid though, you're—"

"It's fine for now, I do not mind. Master."

The mermaid pressed her finger against his lip, brushing across to wipe away the remnants of jam from his toast. A seductive smile crossed her face before she licked the substance from her fingertip.

'Fuck…'

Nikolai shivered as his gaze met hers.

"Hey! Maid, you should get off our husband's lap!" Nikita growled, glaring at Amphitrite.

The mermaid glanced at her, unbothered by the hostility. Instead, she turned back to Nikolai and whispered something in his ear that made his cheeks turn red, before he grasped and spanked her behind and pushed Amphitrite away.

"Behave, don't upset them."

"Y-Yes~ master, Amphitrite will behave for you."

Nikolai's eyes narrowed.

He noticed the other women's moods changing and realised that the mermaid probably acted this way deliberately, causing his lips to twitch.

'Damn poisonous woman!'
