Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 61: A Hybrid's Squire



Chapter 61: A Hybrid's Squire

Because female squires usually lacked the strength a male would.

Though they would normally have stronger blood arts or mystic abilities and agility, their physique would still be that of a woman, and thus, unless their bloodline or master were extremely powerful, they would be weaker.

The strength didn't mean the master's current power but their potential.

All living beings, be they monsters, humans, or beasts, had a limit. Whether it was a limit of ten or a thousand, they would eventually struggle to grow stronger.

However, this wasn't the case in the beginning—when the old gods roamed the world as incarnations. Their first spawns could grow almost limitlessly, which led to the first great fall of the supernatural races.

Humans could rise at that moment when the strongest supernatural beings died because of the first great war.

Those who became squires of those ancient beings could surpass the true vampires of the current day because the squire would inherit their master's ability to break through their limits.

Nikolai was one of the few existences in the current world who could break the chains of god that limited all creatures on the earth.

Earlier that evening...

"What happened, Nikolai?" Selene's bloody face asked with an elegant yet worried tone as she looked at the beautiful male with black hair kneeling beside a bloody woman with her neck half devoured like a beast attacked her.

However, his eyes were pure black, as if meditating or lost in a trance.

'I have never seen him like this... but I can feel it, that woman, despite being in this shape, she isn't dead, and the scent that's starting to grow from her is... the same as his!' Selene thought, recognising the woman's scent, which was the same as the one Nikolai, her current fiancé was emitting.

"Is that the first time he has bitten someone, Selene?" A voice suddenly echoed in the dark room. The source of the rough yet pretty voice revealed herself as her beautiful white fur now looked red, while her eyes were now full of aggression towards the woman sleeping beside Nikolai before she gasped. "Ah? That woman is the one who helped Nikolai!"

"She is?" Selene then began to think to herself about the reports from her subordinate and Wilhelmina about what Nikolai got up to during the days he was away from her. "By chance, is it that woman who tried to seduce him but became his business partner, Sarah Maddison? According to the report, she has always tried to have a relationship with him, but he rejected her at every moment."

"I think so, but she seemed to have chosen to give up last time. Nikolai told me!" Nikita, the female werewolf, said while remembering the conversation they had about the woman called Sarah.

"Nikita, did you realise that Nikolai isn't our Squire?" Selene asked after she had thought for a while and decided.

"Yes, Selene, I noticed that he doesn't seem to be bound to us or have to follow our orders.!"

"It seems that he is still hiding many things from us, but it's fine. It feel strange to speak so normally with you, why are you being so mature?"

"Because Nikolai is hurt... and he doesn't want me to fight with you, so I forgive you for being a leech," Nikita spoke in a very serious tone, not hiding her emotions, as she knew Nikolai would easily know them anyway.

"...Understood, let's do our best to deal with any bad blood in secret. We can borrow the training room at my house to get rid of any issues. I don't want this fool to worry or misunderstand."

"True... he's so cute and might not realise that's how we communicate." Nikita's soft hand stroked through his black hair, looking at him like a holy lady. Different from her usual self, she always hid this kind of side, one that always watched over Nikolai from afar.

"Cough."

"Ah!?"

"Nikita, sorry for interrupting your moment, but... I think we should stop this for now and take them both to his apartment, I have spoken to my maid Wilhelmina and she will help clean everything up and deal with the aftermath. I just need your uncle, Lucas's help if that's okay."

"That bald geezer? Okay, you can just use him. He doesn't earn his wage anyway." Nikita answered with a smile on her face before a sad voice sounded from the doorway.

"Young miss... how could you call me like that?!"

"Uncle... you're bald..."

"Nikita, you used to be so cute and kind to Uncle..." The bald werewolf with a huge scar lifted his sunglasses, revealing a fake tear before he swiped his hand, and several silver-haired werewolves appeared. These were the elite forces of Fenrir. Unlike the warriors, they only helped with difficult requests or those of the main family line.

In the centre was a proud female with a stern gaze and also the source of Nikita's strange courting tactics.

"Ah~ Sister Nova!"

"Fufu~ hell, my lovely little Nikita, did you manage to grab his heart yet?" Nova clenched her fist and made a yanking gesture.

"I did... and he even did a bit of this and that."

"My goodness, and you didn't push him to do more?! My little sister is a failure!"

'Is this what the young princess of the Fenrir clan is like? Why does it seem so fun in your house?' Selene thought, but seeing the expressions on the two's faces, she didn't want to bother, so she coughed. "Okay, I will leave it to you, Uncle, and you two to take care of everything. I will take these two home, while Nikita you drive our fiancé's car home."

"No! I'll take him. While he's sleeping, I let him do things to me, so now I will get revenge!"

"No! You can't, I'll take him, I can't trust you! Damn horny wolf!"

"Him and you?!" The two girls looked at each other with a strong killing intent.

Lucas and Nova looked warmly at the two women. Even the electricity that seemed to flicker between the two looked lovely, while the other wolves all cleaned the room without a word.

"Sigh~ you should let the young princess carry the boy to the car, and you can stay with him in the car, okay?" Lucas whispered to Selene, who nodded her head, accepting the offer.

'This uncle of yours is good, Nikita!'

"Hmph! Uncle, are you trying to throw our future leader to the bats?!"

"The young mistress, please. Our future leader would never fall, he's too cool and awesome."

"Right! Right! Nikolai is the best! Even when he was touching me... Mmmnph?!" Nova's hand covered Nikita's mouth and nose before she continued.

"Lady Selene, although our families aren't friendly. I have heard the situation, so please take the girl first as she will need to remain close to Master Nikolai during her change."

Selene looked at the pair and gave a soft smile, nodding before a beautiful maid with silver hair seemed to appear from thin air. If the werewolf elite were like warriors, then Wilhelmina was like a samurai and ninja rolled into one. Rather, it shocked Nova for a moment because the two looked eerily similar...

The two women looked at each other and then nodded before commencing with their work.

'I feel hungry... but, somehow it feels strange. A hunger that isn't coming from my stomach but as if it's coming from my chest and entire body!'

Sarah tried to get up from the soft bed after realising where she was. It was Nikolai's apartment. She remembered filling Nikolai's room with fancy and tasteful things that she organised and arranged, so it felt comfortable to her despite waking up here suddenly.

'Why can I hear things from so far away...'

The distant echo of someone hammering concrete, the person in question nearly a mile away. This strange occurrence caused Sarah's head to hurt and then she curled up because of the pain in her head and hunger.

"Ugh... what's going on... why does the light feel tingly..."

"Are you awake, Sarah Maddison?" A gentle female voice asked.

"Who are you... ah, beautiful..."

A woman with radiant golden hair and crimson eyes sat on the chair in the room's corner. Selene waited for hours after Nikita collapsed and slept in Nikolai's bed as if it were natural.

"It's good you're awake, please follow me. There are many things you need to learn and also remember, not to mention you should probably take a look in the mirror."

'She looks so mysterious, how does boss know this woman?'

Sarah's body hurt for a moment as she climbed out of bed. There were loud cracks. She thought her bones might have broken.

However, when she stood up straight, her lips parted in shock.

"I'm taller, how? Eh?! My breasts are bigger and fuller!? Ah... but they felt a little heavy before. Will that make me suffer?" Sarah whispered the last parts.

Despite that, Selene couldn't help but nod along before coughing.

"What form... what are you talking about?"

"You will see."

"Ah!"

As soon as she stood before the mirror, Sarah Maddison realised what this mysterious fairy meant.

Soft, pale skin like a porcelain doll, smooth and lacking any dirt or impurities...

Her eyes were now a dark wine-red colour, different from the bright crimson of Nikolai, yet still resembling gemstones sparkling in her reflection.

Then her hair, now silver, brighter and more beautiful than before. The wear and tear of her daily life was now gone, without split ends, and the gloss of a teenager returned.

"I became a princess?"

"No, you're more like a prince's knight."

Sarah Maddison was the first hybrid squire to exist in the world's history.

"Silver hair from the Volkov bloodline, and those eyes must be from the Báthory clan. You are one lucky woman. It won't make sense now, but once he wakes up, I'll tell you everything, for now drink this."

Selene handed over a small cup of a thick red liquid, sliding it into Sarah's palm.

"What's this?" The confused businesswoman tilted her head.

"Nikolai's blood, and the most luxurious elixir known to mankind. Savour it well and don't take it for granted, you were inches from death because of what you saw."

"..."

Sarah understood nothing.

The thought she changed was enough to make her mind become like melted clay. Now she looked at the blood in the glass, and the thoughts of disgust she presumed a human would have were gone.

'Why.... why does Nikolai's blood smell better than any food I've ever smelt... I can't stop my desire to drink it, it feel like my chest will explode if I try to resist....'

"What should I do..." Her voice wasn't a question. She simply put her feelings into words. Selene watched her guzzle down the blood like a ravenous wolf.

With that, this woman could never hurt Nikolai again and wouldn't become their enemy.
