Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

"Go on and enjoy the meal—you all look lovely tonight."

"Dimitri, my lovely husband~ are you sure you're okay looking after Kurone Tonight?"

Nagisa's voice sounded like bells chiming when speaking to her husband. Her eyes narrowed into pleasant curves with a wide grin on her lips.

"Haha, of course. Lucas will help me, and she seems to be happy to spend time with her dad."

The lovely black wolf wrapped around Dimitri's neck let out a cute bark before nuzzling back into his silver hair and returning to sleep.

"Of course, darling, that little one travelled a long way, right? You don't have many relatives, so enjoy yourselves. I will take Kurone to play."

Despite looking like a thug, in reality Dimitri loved his daughters more than anything. Suppose there was a choice between staying at home to play with Kurone or Nikita and working. He'd pick the girls without a moment's breath.

'Kurone is about to turn human for the first time~ I want to take a picture of my little wolf.'

"Hey, isn't it funny when my ugly old man speaks to my mother?" Nikita whispered to the girl with soft golden hair and eyes.

"That's true, but I never thought he would be so gentle and kind. At first, I was scared!"

Tonight, Nagisa, Kumiko and Nikita were celebrating two things. The one they told Dimitri was the arrival of their distant family member Kumiko and the secret reason. Is the fact Nikita became an adult and mated with Nikolai. However, only she and Nagisa knew this reason.

It seemed to be someone that Nagisa's mother did back when she married Dimitri. A small custom, the ladies of the Fenrir clan, started several centuries ago.

"Darling, make sure you eat something good. I don't mind if you order something with Lucas and the guards tonight. I won't get mad if you drink either." Nagisa loved her husband dearly but worried he would pass like his father due to an overindulgent lifestyle.

Thus, she desperately tried to keep Dimitri from misbehaving.

"Nagisa... I will have a few beers but let's not order something you would dislike. I know you worry about my health after what happened to Ivan and my father in the past."

Dimitri's eyes suddenly widened as Nagisa's hands slipped along his chest. He could feel a tingling sensation. Then heard her voice whispering directly into his mind using her illusory magic. "Fufu~ then if you do, I'll make sure to give you some delicious dessert when I come home."

"O-Oh..." That was all it took for his face to turn red before lowering his face and kissing Nagisa's cheek as Lucas pulled up in their silver car. "I can't wait..."

"I know~ see you later. My cute husband and lovely little puppy."

"Bye-bye, Dad, be good, Kurone~ mwah!" Nikita kissed her sister before running off with her wooden geta tapping the ground.

"Take care, uncle, Kurone."

Kurone sounded embarrassed, but for the month before she left. It was Ivan who taught her the way nobles and royal monsters dined, acted and ate. So, she felt a sense of ease when visiting the Fenrir family, thanks to Nagisa and the fact Dimitri reminded her of Ivan.

He could only watch as the three girls left, climbing into the silver car. Tonight, they were going to eat at an expensive restaurant in the central sector of S-City.

They named it Luminary Garden, after the biggest feature offered for both the VIP private rooms and the main dining area.

In the private rooms, there were beautiful, human-sized windows. These windows were a one-way glass that allowed the people dining to enjoy a rich, well-maintained garden with flowers from around the globe.

Though the cost was high to match the elegance and atmosphere of a four-star restaurant.

Earlier in the evening, Nikolai took Risa and Sarah shopping. It was quite an interesting moment to see many of the old co-workers who knew her before and now look at Sarah in shock.

"So what kind of dress are you going to choose, dog?" Risa seemed to dislike Sarah, but her eyes constantly peeked at the choices in her hands.

"Hmmm, I wonder what kind of dress Nikolai would prefer. I will probably go with this!"

What made Risa feel complicated was Sarah chose the dress she liked in black, but a wine red version. The strapless dress was quite beautiful, with faint patterns and gemstones.

'Damn... this woman's tits are bigger and make the dress look better on her.' Risa felt jealous while trying to puff her chest up more in the changing room.

"Are they talking outside?" She could then hear the voice of Nikolai and Sarah talking in hushed voices, making her feel a little left out.

Sarah chose the dress and finished in a few minutes before Nikolai came to her with his car and a smile on his face. "I noticed neither of you bought any accessories, your shoes or anything else but the dress."

"How could we keep taking your money... Master?"

Nikolai appreciated Sarah. She used her private money when possible and rarely wasted his money. It was for this reason that he no longer gave interest or worried about the company's finances.

'Well, I know she won't buy anything if I ask her to spoil herself, so...'

"I guess, but you've done well, so... Instead of denying me. This is an order: buy some lovely dresses and full sets of clothes for all the thralls as a get-well present and a small monetary gift from my excess cash."

"But M-Master?!"

"It's my fault for not protecting you and making sure no monsters would come to bother you, humour me, okay? Also, get something for Risa and yourself, and finish off today's outfits completely."

Since they were technically his employees, he didn't want them to suffer and thought he would ignore it and stand by what happened.

'She seems a bit reluctant...'

"I-If you insist..."

"Haha... look at the blushing dog!"

"Shut up, you filthy cat!"

"Bleh! Kiss my ass!"

The two began to complain to each other, while Nikolai just shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

"Well, I'll be waiting outside; I fancy a coffee."

"Ah... don't go!"

"Master~ she's going to bully me again!"

While the pair were shopping, he headed to the centre of the department store. First, he bought a coffee and then noticed a store selling jewellery.

'Risa has a black dress and Sarah a red wine... should I get them some jewellery to match the outfit?'

He gazed back to the store, then checked the reservation on the app and smiled. There were still two hours left, so before they returned, he rushed over to buy their gifts.

***

A little while later, the pair returned while Nikolai sat with two bags with two sets of necklaces and earrings. What he didn't expect was that the pair also held a small luxury bag from the watch store just beside where he bought their clothes.

'Did they buy a watch?'

"Ah, Master? Sorry, did we keep you waiting... We wanted to buy you a gift." Risa was the one to push forward, taking the bag. While Sarah remained calm, both of them were wearing their new clothes and shoes.

"We got you a gift because you do so much for us," Sarah added.

He noticed the card paid with wasn't his on the receipt and realised the pair of them bought it with their own money. Nikolai opened the box to find a platinum watch with a small silver diamond fitted around the surface not too extravagant, but it was quite nice to look at.

"Well... I am glad that I have something in return. Here." He handed over the two smaller bags, watching in delight as the girls pulled out their custom-made jewellery.

Risa wore a black strapless dress with a flowing base was beautiful. The added emerald necklace and earring set with platinum metalwork looked amazing with her green eyes.

Meanwhile, for the lovely Sarah, who dyed her silver hair blonde and her wine-red dress, he chose a dark sapphire gemstone set with gold metalwork.

"Sorry if they don't match your tastes; I asked for colours that would suit you from the description." Nikolai bought them because of the rings he had already spent a fortune on for himself, Nikita and Selene, which should arrive soon.

"Master, this is fine... no, it's more than fine. I am so happy!" Sarah's eyes gave her emotions away, while Risa looked strange; her eyes stared at the gems as if entranced.

'It's my first time getting such a beautiful gift.' Risa thought to herself, though men tried to court her in the past, thinking she was easy. The gemstones were expensive. She already saw the figure in the bag, because he had forgotten the receipt. 'More than five times the price we paid together...'

"It suits you very well, Risa. I am happy for you." Sarah spoke honestly, her tail waving back and forth behind her dress.

"Thank you... I love it... Ah?! You... Mm...." Risa responded honestly. Honestly confusing Sarah due to expecting her to make a scene, yet even Nikolai realised that Risa really liked the gift.

"Thank you, Master." Normally, she said that mockingly, yet this time, Risa's eyes shone like gemstones while speaking to him.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to see you both so happy. I also really love this gift, although I am rich now, my taste is like that of a normal person. So I wouldn't have known where or how to buy a tasteful watch. Thank you, Risa and Sarah. Shall we enjoy our meal now? I've already booked the tables."

'What will Risa think when she sees the bonus I sent her for help in the dungeon? I would love to see that reaction.'

The money would enter her bank in a few hours, and It was the most money he had ever spent in a single transaction other than property.

"Let's get going then, come. I've booked our driver already."

Neither of the pair resisted him spending money anymore.

They were both taken by the girls on their necks and how handsome he looked after changing during his coffee.

He didn't actually buy this suit today, but it was the one he custom-ordered through Selene a few days ago. They made the dark velvet material and silver inner silk lining using arachne and moth silk.

Nikolai felt quite amazing, while the trio boarded the VIP level Ober, costing triple the usual cost.
