Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Meanwhile, at the Volkov mansion. Nikolai and Nikita sat gazing at the moon from her balcony, nostalgic memories of when they did the same at Nikolai's old apartment.

"Nikolai, do you love me lots?"

"Of course I do… but I love Selene and the others equally."

The moment he responded, she showed a slight pout, but it didn't last long, instead she threw her body at his chest, leaning on Nikolai with a faint smile. "That's good."

Nikolai said nothing back, wrapped his hand around her slender waist and stroked her brown hair. "Say, Nikolai, I hope you can treat the others the same as me."

He didn't understand why she became so different. When they started speaking, her atmosphere and aura felt entirely different from usual, softer and more accepting. Nikita used to resemble a hedgehog that refused to lower her guard, always cautious about people around her. However, this Nikita lacked that sharpness.

"Of course," He replied in a low voice, knowing fully well the words he'd just uttered were his true feelings. "Doesn't it make you jealous because I love other women?"

Nikita's lovely chuckle followed his question and stroked his arm. "I used to hate the idea you would want someone else."

"But?"

"But I love seeing you happy, Kumi, Risa and Selene." Nikita's voice lowered into a whisper. "All of them can give you something I can't, my rough attitude and violent nature cannot be fixed. That's why I struggled when I first met them…" She showed a bitter smile, touching Nikolai's chest, and stroking it. "Those girls could give you want I couldn't."

Nikolai's eyes widened, unable to understand Nikita's revelation, but she only gazed up at him with a beautiful smile, bathing in the moonlight, laughing gracefully.

"I was scared you might lose interest in me if you got closer to those girls." Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. "That you would leave me behind. But I understand now that you would never let that happen, you love us all, and so I promise, promise to trust you, Nikolai."

Nikolai's chest throbbed a dull beat that made his spine shudder, the words and emotions of Nikita something he could understand without his blood art.

"I know it's unfair of me to feel secure only after I've already become pregnant. Haha, but that's who I am, it helped me realise that Now isn't the time for us to fight over these stupid things. With the enemies outside our family, why should we waste time and upset the man we love by fighting over him."

Nikita closed her eyes and sighed, letting out a long breath while her lips curled deeper. "My mother gave me lots of advice, and I know projecting my ideals on you was unfair. You've done more than enough to prove you love me, although I cannot stop my jealousy. I promise I won't reject others or have silly fights."

"That's a massive change, haha." Nikolai didn't force her to change. Neither would he insist on it, but appreciated her words.

"Well, you're all my women and I adore all of you, but Nagisa is right, even if you wanted to argue or fight. I won't tolerate it any more."

Nikita's lips curled into a grin. "Selene also got scolded by her mothers, saying that fighting just creates more stress and is more likely to drive you away to another woman. That's why we are trying to adapt and accept everything."

Nikolai laughed at the image of Selene and Nikita being scolded by those women, and felt a sense of gratitude to his future mothers, able to breathe with a sense of space and ease after hearing Nikita's words.

"Hmm… well, I was too weak and didn't speak my mind before." Nikolai stroked her hair and kissed her forehead before wrapping her body in his coat.

Nikita's body snuggled against him while closing her eyes happily.

"You are all my women, all four of you. I will marry and cherish you all the same, so you better get along, even if you give birth and the others can't that won't change."

"As long as you love me, I don't care."

"Then follow my words, and don't cause trouble in the future." Nikolai needed to keep them together, avoiding future issues.

"Hehe, then don't be too harsh~ okay?"

"We will see. Then, shall we go back inside, I want to speak with the others?"

"Mm."

He lifted her light body like a princess, softly putting her into bed, before stroking her cheek and tucking her in. "Sleep well." His lips left a loving mark on her cheek before leaving the room.

Nikolai took a moment to gaze upon Nikita's sleeping face. The past two weeks have been hard for him, considering all the changes and expectations growing, but thanks to Nikita taking this step, his shoulders felt lighter, with the burden now shared with her instead.

"Let's go and see Selene, and ask how she feels about this."

Before he walked to Selene's room, he messages Nagisa, Salina and Claudia Anya's mother to thank them for all their help. Without them, Nikolai doubted his heart could survive.

Thanks to their support, Nikita and Selene seemed to have matured.

Shortly after his call, Nikolai arrived at Selene's door, listening to the faint whispers from inside. He didn't need to sneak closer, eavesdrop or press his ear onto the wall—he could hear Selene and the other two women speaking about him and some of their desires.

Knock! Knock!

The sudden knock stopped whatever they were talking about inside as silence filled the room beyond the door. A second later, one of them spoke up. "Come inside, Nikolai."

'What an odd meeting,' Nikolai mused to himself.

Nikolai's eyes narrowed, seeing three beautiful women drinking tea. They gazed back at him and patted the seat next to them.

He didn't waste time or hesitate, walking across the luxurious carpet of her room, stepping over expensive shoes and sitting on the chair closest to the trio. "Hello girls, you all look lovely."

All three wore unique styles, with Kumiko in a light eastern kimono, Risa wearing a casual style and Selene wearing a black baby doll.

"Nikolai, how is Nikita?" Kumiko showed her usual consideration.

'Kumiko is always so kind, like a spring breeze, considerate and comforting.'

He couldn't help but lean closer to the lovely woman who matured the night before in his arms, and kiss her cheek, causing her to squeak.

Kya~ ♡

"Oh my, Kumi looks so happy," Risa muttered, tickling the fox when Nikolai moved back to his seat and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Haha, that's not fair, why only Kumi, I'll tickle that seductive gene from you!"

"Hahaha~ stop, it's too much, Risa."

'I never knew Risa and Kumi could be this cute.'

Nikolai wanted to see more of this, where his women didn't fight, instead they got along.

Selene observed the atmosphere and situation, watching Nikolai's smile and nodded. "I see, mother was right."

Nikolai noticed her whisper and smiled to himself.

'Selene is remarkable.'

He knew she used to be more jealous and insecure than anyone else in the group, but seeing her now, trying to act as the one who brings them together. Nikolai couldn't help but find her adorable. Although everyone went through various stages of jealousy, he was tired of their conflict.

Nikolai didn't know the future.

But desired honesty in their relationships with each other.

Not long after Nikolai arrived, and they spoke about their day, Risa and Kumiko returned to their room, obviously making space for Selene. Risa's wink and tone made it too obvious to Nikolai, who found her and Kumiko adorable how they treated Selene and each other.

"Oh my, they gave us some space, Nikolai," Selene spoke in a low, husky voice while playing with her long, blonde hair.

"They did," Nikolai observed her beauty and let out a quiet sigh, finding a slight nervousness in his stomach, knowing what needed to be said.

"So, what do you think of me?"

Selene looked at him expectantly, almost purring as she moved closer, pressing against Nikolai's body.

"U-Uh…well."

"You can say it. Do you think I look sexy? Beautiful?"

Her words struck a chord in his heart.

She looked ethereal under the soft glow of the lamp.

Selene was sexy and beautiful, but more than that, her changes differed from the carnal emotions, rather he focused on her maturity and elegance while speaking and laughing among the women.

"Come sit here, Selene." Nikolai tapped his thigh while sitting on the handmade sofa.

She shyly nodded with red cheeks, before skipping towards him and jumping onto his lap.

Thud!

"Oof."

"Ah…sorry…"

"Haha, I was kidding, you're lighter than a feather."

"Oh my, even with this body?" Selene rolled her hips, emphasizing her plump behind and heavy breasts.

"Well…you are growing a little bigger there and here…but I love it," Nikolai grabbed her cheek, giving it a tight squeeze.

Mhmm~ ♡

"M-Mhm, that's good, it makes me happy." Selene giggled and held herself up by resting her hands on his shoulder, leaning closer to press their foreheads together, their gazes meeting directly. "Did you manage to speak with Nikita?"

"Mm. I'm just glad both of you are getting along now." He stroked her back and ran a hand through her long, blonde locks, his fingers brushing against the smooth skin of her cheeks.

"We're trying," Selene smiled and nuzzled his hand affectionately. She leaned down to whisper into his ear, her hot breath tickling his skin. "Hey… if I were to." Her warm, luscious tongue licked his ear. "…let you eat me up tonight, would you?"

Nikolai's eyes became like a beast instantly, before poking her pointed nose.

"Don't be so cheeky, I'll eat you when I am hungry, so be good and look appealing."

Pah!

Selene jumped when a slap rang through the air, causing Selene to tremble and squeal softly.

"Oh my goodness, you've become such a wicked man~ my butt is sore now, what should I do?"

"Kiss me."
