Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

The atmosphere in the car became awkward after Risa realised her failure, and the confident side of Kumiko tricked her into this situation.

Her video lost all worth.

Risa gazed at the back seat through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but bit her lower lip, a stuffy and burning sensation growing inside her chest.

'I cannot believe it!'

No matter how much Risa complained in her mind.

She knew that things already escalated beyond her control.

While watching, the pair in the back holding hands as the car approached the hotel.

"Eh, the Imperium?" Risa gasped.

A sudden stabbing pain grew in her chest when she gazed at the familiar building. Its splendid façade and elegant appearance reminded Risa of meeting Nikolai and their first time in this building.

She didn't want them to enter here, didn't want to know that Kumiko, and he might do the same act and overwrite his memories.

The car entered the underground car park and stopped in the reserved spot.

Risa rushed out to prevent them from doing such an act, but her legs trembled and buckled the moment her feet stepped out. She collapsed onto the concrete ground with a loud bang and groaned from pain.

"Are you ok?"

A familiar husky voice echoed in Risa's ears as a warm and sturdy arm pulled her off the ground, but her mind felt heavy like lead.

'Why is he being nice to me?'

'Isn't this my punishment for pushing them too far?'

"Risa, I am not mad at you."

Nikolai's voice whispered again, his hand gently squeezing and caressing her shoulder, as he kissed her cheek.

She couldn't help herself.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Risa knew he might be with other women in the future.

That wasn't the issue, but the Imperium was their hotel… it was where she first approached him and made him hers.

'Will he find me stupid for doing this, or mock me for acting so—'

"Kya!"

Shocked, Risa's eyes widened as Nikolai lifted her in his arms.

She gazed at the pouting Kumiko on the other side, but then her pout became a faint smile, which confused the Nekomata.

"Did you think I would abandon you, just because I was horny?"

There it was again, his voice that made her spine tingle, and her legs weak. Nikolai was her ideal, be it his energy, body, or voice.

Not that she didn't love his personality, but he teased her a little too much.

"Let's go to our usual suite and celebrate tonight together, with a bit of alcohol. It will help you calm down and relax."

Risa nodded in his arms, a genuine smile on her face.

Somehow, she didn't feel so dark and her sense of fear and hysteria faded.

But the closer they came to the main entrance while he carried her in a bridal carry, the hysteria was rapidly replaced with embarrassment.

The three entered the elegant lobby, but before Nikolai could check in, an employee approached him, and he showed the room booking on his phone, causing the employee to gasp and suddenly straiten himself up.

"We have prepared a room for you, Sir. The imperial honeymoon suite."

The employee soon called for someone to guide them.

Dressed in a neat red blazer and suit, the female employee bowed to Nikolai and Kumiko, who hugged his right arm.

She guided them to the lift.

The doors closed behind the four as Risa and Kumiko were carried like princesses while the female hotel employee smiled and greeted them with an energetic, yet respectful tone, "Welcome to the Imperium, Mr. Volkov, Miss Kageyasha, Miss Kogetsu."

Her polite attitude surprised Risa, but more than that, she understood that this room was something she could only dream of in the past.

Sometimes money wasn't enough.

To book the Imperial suite in the Imperium needed contacts, and connections.

Nikolai carried Risa into the room while she inspected her surroundings.

This place looked more like a flat, rather than a hotel suite, with two bathrooms and three separate rooms, one with a large king-size bed and another large one in the spare room.

The main area, however, comprised a bar, kitchen, living area and even an office desk with a laptop and printer, and to the right, a glass sliding door separated a sauna from the rest.

"Please feel free to use all the facilities. Your checkout is seven days away. A team of maids will clean the room daily at midday."

'Seven days?!'

Risa's face turned pale for a moment as she looked at Nikolai's calm and innocent expression.

"I didn't book it just to sleep with you for seven days, Risa. Your little heart suddenly started racing, are you that horny?" he asked with a grin, making Risa's ears burn red as she struggled to deny it.

'Is this how he sees me now, as a slut?'

She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed and angry.

'He might think that all my effort and love is to get his body, that's not what I meant. But maybe it was a mistake to come to this place when we first met.'

Her mind filled with negative thoughts, her body floating as he carried her to the large bed, and placed her down, stroking her head gently before kissing her forehead.

"Risa, I know how much effort you put into looking good for me, but I like the raw and honest you most."

'What does he mean?'

Her ears drooped down when he said this. She felt a pang of anxiety, wondering whether she was being too materialistic or selfish, but she was unable to ask or understand what he was thinking.

'Did I do something wrong?'

Her heartbeat sped up. Her breathing became ragged, and she felt her tails twitch, unable to cope with the stress, as they started fluffing up.

"Risa, I love you. I don't want you to always feel so stressed and to force yourself to match Nikita and Selene's pace, the lovely and cheeky cat I met is the woman I fell for, so relax."

His soft words, and gentle touched resonated within her, a warmth and sense of acceptance. She couldn't help but cling to his shirt with teary eyes.

The efforts and things she did to get his attention, to think he noticed. It caught her off guard.

'So, it wasn't just the physical things, he saw through my act and loved me for what I truly was. I didn't realise.'

She felt conflicted, not wanting to become like them but wanting to keep him satisfied. Her heart felt tight and stuffy, making it difficult to breathe.

A pair of hands cupped her face as he leaned in and whispered, "You are the only one in the world that can make me feel the way you do, nobody not Nikita, Kumiko or Selene can ever replace What Risa Kageyasha is to me."

His words melted away the ice in her chest.

Tears fell from her eyes as her tails twitched.

He understood what she wanted to say even without asking.

She wanted to hear those words from him, that no matter how many women came and left, he would love her and be there for her, to care and to spoil her rotten.

That she was equal to them, and worth something.

"Thank you." She muttered between the tears and pressed her forehead to his.

The warmth from his skin, comforting and reassuring. Not once did Kumiko make a sound or interrupt them, instead she watched from the living room area with a smile on her face and whispered.

"Good for you, Risa~ I'm delighted you could finally hear those words."

Risa's eyes became swollen after she cried in his arms, and after the stress and her feelings were unlocked, the beautiful Nekomata fell into a deep sleep.

'She's so adorable when sleeping.'

Nikolai took a picture of Risa and then tucked her into bed. He wondered if the words meant more because they did nothing sexual, and he comforted her sincerely.

However, the moment he left her room, closing the door slowly, the atmosphere changed.

"Nikolai." A hot, seductive voice called out to him from the master bed. Kumiko was already half naked with a seductive smirk on her lips.

Wrapped in the silky sheets, she sat at the edge of the bed, with her juicy thighs peeking through the gap, along with a glimpse of her golden fur.

It made his heart flutter as she raised a hand towards him and waved seductively, whispering, "Come here, big boy~"

The words made him chuckle, but he couldn't deny her allure.

Soft, fluffy blond hair wrapped around her body, normally neat and straight like a shrine maiden, now messy and sexy. She even pulled off her hairband and put her hair down, giving him a new image.

Nikolai sat beside Kumiko, her hand caressing his as he looked down into her beautiful golden eyes.

"You know, I never thought you would be so naughty," he whispered.

Kumiko smiled and nodded, letting the sheets slip down her shoulders, revealing her heavy, and alluring breasts a size larger than Selene, with a more rounded and fuller shape as they swayed lightly from her movements.

"I guess, but that's what makes this exciting, I always felt like I shouldn't always be the perfect Miko and let the things I want slip through my fingertips."

"What things might that be?" Nikolai asked, his eyes locked onto her exposed chest, and the delicate, faint pink areola.

"Oh my, would you like to know?"

Kumiko's hips shifted closer, causing her thighs and breasts to shake slightly, before whispering something in Nikolai's ear, causing his eyes to glow blue.

The heat of her breath and the tenderness of her delicate body touching his arm as he pushed the fox down onto the sheets.

He gazed down, with the expression of a hungry wolf.

"Then, make sure you grip tight. Kumi."
