Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

After the wonderful evening with Nikita, Nikolai enjoyed a peaceful sensation of exhaustion. It was comfortable as the feeling of sleep overwhelmed Nikolai. He felt himself falling into a warm pool of water before drifting off into his dreams.

It was a nostalgic dream.

He remembered something similar in the hotel with Nikita, memories from the past that his mother said would slowly return as he regained his power and awakened fully.

'Where am I?! This is my dream... wow, I was such a dumb kid... haha.'

Nikolai could see himself in the dream, able to think and react. It seemed close to a lucid dream, yet the memories played without his input, causing him to feel curious.

He looked around the old park that was half destroyed to build new apartment blocks, and because of gangs and hoodlums, the area was full of garbage and dangerous things.

'Yet back when mom lived, it was so beautiful...'

Elizabeth looked so young and beautiful as she stood close to another woman who seemed familiar. She had a bubbling personality from the look of how she moved and spoke.

'Who is that woman... I am sure I've met her before... Ugh... damn it!'

Whenever he tried to remember the woman clearly, a pain attacked him. Deep aches formed in the centre of his mind, spreading through his body until he dropped the thought.

'Forget it!'

His vision returned to the beautiful green trees, their various colours and formed leaves showed him different plants that he did not have time to admire in person. Instead, he was busy looking for clues or trying to solve what needed to happen next.

The small version of himself ran over with the familiar blonde little girl.

The two looked innocent and carefree, almost enough for one to forget all about what happened soon after this memory because this girl... she looked so familiar but her chubby face and lovely cheeks were nostalgic.

'Nostligic?'

Yes, that was the feeling in his mind and heart upon seeing her. She looked young but maybe older than him. It wasn't clear. He wondered if she wanted to play, and so the young Nikolai approached the beautiful blonde girl with sparkling ruby eyes and a lovely twin-tailed hairstyle.

"Hello...." Young Nikolai called out, a little nervous as the girl shuddered like a frightened rabbit, her eyes darting around as if to avoid looking at him while her lips trembled.

"Uu...."

This scene was painful. Was she so afraid of him?

'Why are you crying? Stop it!' The current Nikolai tried calling out, yet nothing changed. Even Elizabeth and the other beautiful woman looked over concerned, but they didn't come other, despite the girl's eyes pleasing towards the pretty woman with Nikolai's mother.

"Hi..." With a trembling voice, the small girl's sweet voice, barely audible, entered the boy's lips. He looked at the shy girl whose eyes remained downcast. He then saw himself looking at his mom with an uncertain face. 'What do I do, mom?'

With a shrug, she encouraged him to continue with words only he could hear.

"Can I ask your name...?"

"I...I'm Lena."

That was the moment that he noticed her superhero bracelet. It was a toy that came with the cereal with Masked Rangers on the promotion. Though unlike the plastic one on Nikolai's wrist, the one that Lena wore was platinum with a red gem.

"Haha, I'm Nikolai, but my superhero name is Kai!"

"Superhero?"

"Yeah! Like the Masked Rangers who save people when they are in danger!"

"Hehe~ are you really?" The girl's voice became a little less guarded as she watched Nikolai stepping behind her and slowly pushing the swing.

At first, her eyes widened, and she clung on in terror, but her heart, which should have stopped beating, began to race like she never felt before.

"Ah... so this is how it works.... how fun~ hehehe."

"Sorry, I should have asked first, but I thought you might want to play together, maybe?" The young Nikolai's face seemed a little red as if charmed by the cute, rabbit-like girl.

He slowly and gently pushed her on the swing, listening to her lovely reactions. "Kya!" and "Hya!" sounded every few moments, causing both the women to overlook it with a smile.

"I see, a hero?

Lena mentioned their earlier conversation about his hero's name. Then, with a look of concern, she asked him. "Then, when I am in trouble in the future, will you save me?"

"Of course!"

"Hehe~ I see... then, I'll wait for you to save me."

"Ahem~ forgive me, children."

The next moment, the fluffy blonde lady who was speaking with his mother while holding a parasol came close, hugging Lena with a brilliant smile, and gave Nikolai a wink before holding the small girl's hand.

The next moment, an extremely fluffy and beautiful blonde lady with a parasol appears and takes Lena away.

"Mama, I don't want to go yet..." Lena pulled on her mother's dress while looking back at the smiling Nikolai, missing one of his lower milk teeth.

"Now, dear, you can meet your friend later—we need to attend an important meeting, or we'll get into a lot of trouble with your dad." This girl's mother was stunning—she had a scent that reached Nikolai's nose. It was sweet and intoxicating. Still, more than that, his eyes fixed on those beautiful blood-red eyes that seemed gentle, kind, and caring.

"We'll have time tomorrow, but now..."

'Strange... this memory is strange... I know it's true, but why does it feel so important?'

Lena looked at Nikolai with tears welling in her eyes before she looked down and nodded to her mother, leaving the scene.

Once the scene shifted, something happened.

Something strange caused his head to pound as if an earthquake raged inside him. As the pain increased, he felt his memories becoming scrambled, the pain worsening the more he tried to focus.

"My little Lena is such a good girl... Mommy is very pleased~ now let's meet Daddy and tell him you made your first friend!"

"Nn!" A smile like sunshine, eyes like rubies a small rabbit faded into the distant horizon that was misty and vague.

This was their first meeting.

"Nikolai, come here, darling~ I have someone I want you to meet." After the girl left, the spirit of Nikolai was in a daze, while the young boy rushed back to his mother with a strange feeling and the small rabbit on his mind.

"Yes, Mom ~ I'm coming!"

A few moments later, Nikolai's mother appears with another woman.

She was tall, slim and elegant with black hair and hiding behind her thighs was a pretty girl with short white hair and golden eyes.

"Nikolai~ this is my friend Nagisa, just like the woman you met before. She is Mom's friend. And this lovely girl is her daughter Nikita. Do you think you could become friends, like you did with Selene?"

'Eh... Selene? What, that girl before?!'

The cute girl was wearing a Masked Rangers t-shirt and peeked at Nikolai wearing the same shirt. Her eyes sparkled as he rushed over and grabbed her hands.

Nikita, even back then, had strength far beyond normal girls—no, even a boy wouldn't be as strong as she caused him to topple to the floor and roll in the mud.

"Hi! I'm Nikolai, do you like Masked Ranger?!"

"Nn~ I'm Nikita! But you can call me Kiki~ I love Masked Ranger! The Red Ranger is the coolest!"

Nikolai felt his dream becoming distant. He wanted to learn more... The nickname he called her by, something that vanished from his mind even now.

Yet finally, he remembered the day he met her for the first time, but the girl on the swing... To think that she would be the same Selene...

As the dream faded and darkness began to fill his vision, there seemed to be small cracks in the world. When he paid attention, the memories skipped and caused hundreds of scenes that were different days to become mixed up, like a bad collage of his past.

'Wait?! Did she hire me because of this... what happened? Why can I not remember anything past that day...!'

All he knew was that for all the times he met Nikita as a child... It was actually the rabbit called Selene. He met more often in that park before he turned eight!

***

"Nn~ my body is so sore... yet why does it feel so good to watch you sleeping, ehehe~ I love my boyfriend."

Nikolai could feel a soft hand or palm brushing against his cheek, the feeling of a warm, soft body pressed against his. The feeling of Nikita's breasts and thighs still wrapped around his waist, along with the warm, sticky sensation of their crotch, felt a little too messy.

"Ugh... Kiki, stop licking me..."

"!!!"

While the two remained entangled in bed, Nikita's face was stunned hearing a nostalgic name she had lost many years ago. A nickname she only permitted two people to use.

It had been a long time since Nikita heard anyone call her Kiki.

"What did you call me..."

"Kiki... that is the name I called you before, right?" A sleepy yet charming voice whispered into her ears.

Her face rested on his chest as her cheeks warmed up, flushed with heat before tears welled up in her eyes because she realised he was finally remembering the past.

Although the memories of their adulthood and teenage years meant more right now, the memories of their meeting and childhood also meant a great deal to Nikita. She wanted to brag she knew him all his life and that he would always be hers.

Yet now she had a chance.

"Yeah~ that is... thank you, Nikolai, for calling me that again~ Ehehe~ I've missed hearing it come from your lips."

Her fingers lightly traced the outline of his chin before her thumb touched his lips; the feelings caused her heart to race, wanting to repeat their heated night over again and again.

"Nikolai~ I want it."

"Nn?"

"I Want to have another round before getting up."

Her eager lips found Nikolai's once more, a warmth he gladly accepted while feeling her tongue sliding over his lips—the moment he opened his mouth to accept her once again.

And so the pair's passion exploded, soon filling the cosy room with moans and cries of the elated werewolf.

***

Meanwhile, back at the Scarlet Top floor Apartment, Selene sat on the edge of her large black bed, looking at a small photo, stroking the beautiful frame that enveloped the old, low-quality picture of three children playing together in Masked Ranger outfits.

"Heh... I really can't hate you, even after everything that happened."

Selene placed the photo back on the side of her bedside table and watched Wilhelmina enter the room with her suit.

"It's almost time for work, princess. I am here to help you get ready."

'I am just glad you are my rival, Kiki...'

"Thank you, Mina."

"Oh? Princess, you look happy today. Did you have a pleasant dream?" Wilhelmina looked surprised because it was rare for the princess to wake up in a good mood. For the longest time, she suffered from nightmares. 'This is the first time since the accident... That she hasn't woke up in complete panic...

No, she seemed fine when that boy slept over, too.'

Selene suddenly turned around and lifted her lips to form a radiant smile, making the maid feel a sense of delight as she noticed the change in her princess's atmosphere.

"Mm~ I dreamt about the past and met a funny little boy who was a little bit handsome."
