Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 40: People Say Revenge is empty...

However, before Nikolai could react to the two women now glaring at him, Nikita and her comfortable ass on his lap. Her sharp fangs with threads of saliva connecting them to her lips while she growled and threatened the other woman.

In comparison, Selene just crossed her arms and gave a confident smirk. Her position lifted her heavy breasts and made them look even larger. This caused Nikita's face to become red with envy.

A loud slap echoed, interrupting everyone.

The sound caused many people to gasp before Mari's body collapsed to the floor. She gasped with blood oozing from her swelling lips, and tears welled from her eyes.

"You stupid bitch!"

Daiki's roar shocked most of the room as he looked around with a strange gaze. However, Wilhelmina and Selene just scoffed.

They knew exactly what this man was trying to do. Even Nikolai could understand, so after a few seconds. He looked at his palm, swollen from the slap and picked up the microphone.

"Ahem! Forgive me—I didn't realise that you would be visiting our small gathering. Lady Tepes, please, everyone, give a round of applause for the CEO of the Scarlet Group, Scarlet Tepes and forget the insane rambling of my ex-girlfriend. It seems she lied to me to embarrass me in front of my future bosses."

'Huh, what is this guy talking about? He was the one speaking the most!'

[Well, these little worms love to cut their tails in order to survive.]

However, what surprised Nikolai was that Selene didn't even acknowledge the people clapping and cheering. Instead, she took out her phone a completely custom model with a scarlet red and black cover.

After tapping the screen a few times, she placed it to her ear.

"Ah? Is that Mr Kwon, I regret to inform you that the contract we signed is null. You can finish your current project, but all other projects are cancelled from this moment, and you are banned from working with us ever again, as the contract stated."

"Eh..." Daiki's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking as the sound of a man crying and begging echoed from Selene's phone while she placed a hand on her hip and let out an irritated sigh before closing the call.

"Wilhelmina, make sure to send the cancellation fee that we agreed upon. Then send the announcement to all major companies that work with us that the Kwon Group is to be blacklisted; otherwise, we will never work with them again."

"Right away, Young Lady." Wilhelmina bowed and smiled as if she were an obedient secretary. The aura of a dignified businesswoman shifted in an instant before she walked past Nikolai's table, giggling gently at his current look for help as her hips swayed on the way out of the door.

"Oh, and tell the authorities to deal with that bastard. You have enough evidence of blackmail, fraud and illegal actions, right? If the police don't move, I'm sure the WCP can deal with him."

'Hmmm... i kind of feel bad that Daiki's future is ruined.'

[No, you don't. You're practically over the moon!]

'Haha, you caught me in 4k!'

Selene turned to Nikolai, looking at him with the fierce animal on his lap. Her eyes narrowed before she reached out her hand.

"Come."

Her voice was cold and commanding, causing Nikita and Nikolai to look at one another. However, before Nikolai could ask anything, the weight on his thighs vanished, and Nikita, with her short stature and flowing white hair, swayed as she pointed at Selene.

"Who are you!"

"You don't need to know."

Selene's gaze was still filled with disgust and arrogance. Even as Nikita growled, her fangs lengthening with her claws growing as she glared at the golden-haired woman.

"I'm sorry."

However, in the next instant, Nikita felt someone pulling her away, and when she turned her head to see who, Nikolai suddenly kissed her lips.

It wasn't a long kiss. Just a simple peck, but his actions were enough to cause the white wolf to lose all hostility instantly, the voices murmuring and others making noises because of their kiss, making Nikita's face turn bright red as her mouth opened and closed in shock.

'Oh... this is surprising. She seems broken and unable to react?'

[You sure like to open the pin on random grenades you find lying around often, huh?]

'Haha, If I didn't calm Nikita down, then she would attack Selene, and then her identity might be exposed! Then I would have to kill everyone in this room to protect her.'

[Oh? Protect her. Is she worth that much to you to kill even old friends?]

'Ah, there is only one Nikita in this world. Of course, I will protect her.

[Then what about the vampire that's currently emitting a frigid aura?]

'Hmmm?'

As Nikita couldn't do anything, her mind raced as her ears and tail trembled almost slipping out of her panties, gazing at Nikolai with the most bewildered eyes and red cheeks.

Selene's face suddenly became expressionless. It wasn't like she had feelings towards Nikolai; in fact, the reason she came was because of Anya's changes. To understand things and thank him, yet the moment he kissed another woman right before her face.

She felt angry. He was her squire, and it was her blood he desired. This beast-scented woman from the Fenrir tribe was just a pest in her eyes, not worthy of his love, attention, and lust.

"What are you doing?" Selene asked Nikolai, her eyes glowing bright red—inside her heart, she constantly activated the squire bond she held with him. She ordered him to move away from Nikita, yet it didn't work. "Get away from her."

Nikolai, who was stroking the shocked Nikita's hair, turned and looked at Selene in confusion.

"Excuse me, are you talking to me? Don't order me around, Selene."

His eyes were dull and angry. Nikolai felt a sense of irritation when she spoke down to him. He didn't know what her deal was, but he knew the type of woman Selene was. He was a piece of meat for her to toy with until something better came along.

Rather to protect her from vampires that wanted to bed her for her blood. Selene was just a woman with a complex that has never been told no and Nikolai didn't have to answer or follow her orders.

"Eh, what's going on? Is it a love triangle?"

"Did he really sleep with both women... Wow... I am envious."

No, he refused it with all his being. After tonight with Daiki, he realised that if he let them stand on his head once, they would always believe he was inferior to them.

"I said get away from her, Nikolai." Selene's voice became colder, her body tingling with an unseen aura, causing the table to crack and people around Nikolai to back away and leave him sitting alone with the two women around him.

"Who are you?" Nikita's voice, like a fairy, responded, stepping away from Nikolai. Her face was still red, but her golden eyes looked at her with a ferocious expression as they narrowed, with wrinkles in the corner of her eyes.

"Are you dumb, girl from the Fenrir Clan?"

"What did you say?!"

Nikita's rage flared in an instant, causing many to back away in terror as the small beauty bared her fangs and almost lunged towards Selene. However, Nikolai grabbed her hand tight, his muscles pulled to the limit as he felt immense pain just holding her down.

'This girl is like a ballistic missile!'

"If you were a member of that family. Then you should know what the Tepes family is and what we stand for!"

"Hmph, just a home-wrecking leech!" Nikita snorted, her fingers stroking Nikolai's as she felt them trembling, realising that he was desperate to stop her from fighting.

'Hehe~ Nikolai doesn't want me to get hurt, and he kissed me~ I'll let this damn leech go this time!'

"Selene, please." Nikolai's voice was hoarse, his fingers almost crushed and muscles torn by the overwhelming strength of a pure werewolf with an Origin bloodline.

"Seriously, this girl is too dangerous."

"Yeah, she is! Do you remember when she stomped on that girl's face for giving Nikolai chocolates?"

Selene wasn't as reckless as Nikita, and listening to the surroundings, she knew instantly that this little wolf probably had the hots for Nikolai.

"Nikita, listen to me, please. My relationship with Selene is purely professional, so can we continue with the night and forget that this happened."

Nikolai took out the business cards from his pocket that showed his job title and made him seem like someone who directly answered Selene.

Of course, she still felt jealous and wary of the vampire. Yet Nikolai's soft voice flowed beside her ear as he stroked her waist, every movement and action one of her favourites, causing her to lose most of her aggression.

Nikita's body froze, her face turning red and the tips of her ears burning.

She saw the business card in his hand, and then even her mind didn't believe he would be her squire because, in their logic, only a person could have one Main Squire at a time.

They couldn't have multiple because the others would serve as thralls, having only performed half the ritual so they could train their abilities and blood arts and would be known as "Reserve Squires" that would eventually take the place of the one that died.

Most nobles trained two at the same time so they could replace the one that died quickly, while large families trained dozens of thralls for the sole purpose of becoming squires; though only one of them would awaken at a time, they all carried the same honour.

She turned to Nikolai with a lovely pout but flicked her eyes away. A shy display. "Sorry, Nikolai... Don't be angry, I'll be good."

"Thanks, Nikita."

Selene watched as the two embraced, and the atmosphere that was tense and filled with anxiety was now one of tenderness.

'Hmph, such a pure sight makes me sick. This stupid dog just got played by this lump of lust!' Selene thought to herself before she observed the rest of the room, noticing that Daiki had vanished while Mari was sitting in the corner downing alcohol. 'I'll make Nikolai pay later! Hmph!'

With that, she picked up the microphone, although she was strict and thought about punishing him. Selene began to speak to his former classmates without his request!

"Greetings again, everyone—it seems that quite an exciting series of events happened tonight! Since I am partly to blame for this, everyone enjoys yourselves to the limit. My Scarlet Group will cover your expenses and travel costs tonight!"

"OOOH!"

"Viva Scarlet Group!"

"Banzai Lady Selene!"

However, like Daiki before him, Nikolai snuck out the door while Nikita was trapped in her imagination, giggling and groaning to herself strangely, thinking about his kiss.

'Now then, people say revenge is empty... However, I want to blow off some steam!'

[You are such a violent boy, ah~ what are you going to do?]

'Make him impoten—'

"Big Brother?!"

A soft, beautiful voice that sounded familiar to him called Nikolai from behind, and when he turned, a beautiful maiden with long golden hair and striking eyes, one red and the other blue, watched him with a brilliant smile.

Gone was her skirt and low-cut top.

She was wearing a lovely blue and white dress that covered her well with fluffy frills and a beautiful red pelerine1 covering her shoulders.

"Anya?"
