Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Nikolai felt surprised mostly because other vampires and monsters called him wolf this or dog that. Yet this ghoul, although at first, he was rude. The moment he inspected him, he gave respect and apologised.

'To think they wanted that land because of the cathedral and mausoleum...'

"Boss, it's great that Ludwig apologised and even paid compensation for the injured workers. However, are you sure it's okay to let them have the land? I know you don't mind or care about the business, but that place was a prime spot!"

Sarah leaned back against Nikolai's chest; somehow, during their talk, she became comfortable and forgot she was on his lap. The one who became jealous was Lisa, who began to kick the sofa while lying on her belly.

'This damn dog, why is she on his lap?!'

"Sarah, although I will trust you to manage everything. You and the other girls are still important to me, more than the company as my squire and thralls. I need you to be healthy and happy, so in the future, please take care of yourselves more."

Nikolai's hand began to stroke her slightly tangled blonde hair, revealing how busy Sarah must have worked for the past two weeks. "Make sure to take the girls out for an expensive meal and drink after they recover. Also, I'll come into the office soon so they can drink some blood directly for a change."

"Ah... really?!"

"Of course, you worked hard. I have so much money that I doubt you rested at all."

'This dog is skilled... I should learn some of her tricks to win his affection!' Lisa narrowed her eyes, smirking like a little cat while planning to infiltrate the company.

Though Nikolai didn't mind what they did, he also wanted to avoid making needless enemies; that's why he sold the land to the Adler family in exchange for a slight hiccup with the company. Nikolai gained an ally in the city unrelated to his father or the two women he was engaged to.

"Don't be on guard for Ludwig in future—it seems that we all need to learn more about the world of monsters and their etiquette. Myself included."

"I wonder if you could teach me personally. As your representative, I should know more..."

"Then, next time you're off, I will take you and Lisa to the Nexus."

"Lisa?"

"The sexy little cat showing her ass on the sofa."

"Nya?! What, why is my dress all rolled up!"

"I see... is she like me? Understood, master. I will message and mail my schedule to you."

Sarah couldn't help but feel saved each time she met Nikolai. She felt like he always had the answer or could at least help her when she needed it most.

Though at first, she detested becoming something that wasn't human. Thanks to Nikolai, she didn't need to drink any blood or kill people because he always gave her his to keep her sane for a month at a time.

'He is an amazing master—even now, I cannot help but admire him.'

Nikolai sat on the sofa and noticed the small ID card hanging from their pocket of Lisa. He also realised it wasn't written with one name, but there were two.

"Hmmm? Lisa Gordon... and Risa Kageyasha?"

"Well... I was wondering why they wrote a name wrong and added an extra... it seemed odd that someone from your clan would have such a Western name. Here, your is... You should probably keep it somewhere more secure than those shallow pockets."

Nikolai chuckled while sliding his hand back into her back pocket, enjoying the warmth and soft sensation of her rump.

'She even smells different now... her natural scent after evolving is delicious.'

"Huh? Ah.... stop playing with my ass, that dog is getting jealous...."

Sarah's face became bright red while pretending to avert her gaze. She tried to focus on work, always telling herself that Nikolai liked someone else.

The two women she had met several times at his apartment were the white-haired werewolf and the blonde vampire. One was like a big sister, whereas the other was like his childhood friend.

'If I could ever compare to them...'

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Lisa shouted once again as Nikolai removed the small pouch bag hanging from her belt.

"You look like a thief dressed like that, so I am punishing you. Haha!"

"Don't hit my ass... you'll hurt me."

The two black tails of Risa began wrapping around his wrists while the ghostly green and black tails fluttered in the air, showing how ashamed and shy she was.

"Bastard!"

"Who is a bastard, you little thieving cat!"

Nikolai smirked, gripping the bag containing various trinkets belonging to Risa and his wallet, which was returned.

He lifted the girl by the waist and put her over his shoulders before throwing her down onto the sofa. Risa lay on her back, glaring at him. Yet Nikolai enjoyed her cute eyes that seemed to be her attempt at threatening him.

"Boss, no... stop flirting with her." Sarah's voice was quiet, but when Nikolai looked over, he couldn't help but sense Sarah's immense jealousy.

The scent of her pheromones and crying face, almost ready to cry, caused his face to twitch.

He looked down at the playful cat; her lips curled into an amusing shape while looking at Sarah with mocking eyes. Risa really wanted to tease the poor woman.

So he felt conflicted; if he treated Sarah kindly, Lisa would try to tease both of them; however, if he made Risa happy and neglected Sarah. He risked ruining his relationship with the person managing his company, thus forcing Sarah to go through unnecessary stress.

'I guess if I do something for one, I have to do it for the other...'

"Hey Sarah, we're going for a meal and drinks later. Do you want to join me?" Since he was treating one of his little workers, then why not take Sarah, who earns him millions, too?

"Oh! A meal and some drinks!" Suddenly, her mood took a massive shift; even her voice became excited at the offer.

"I have my nothing scheduled for tonight so I would love to! Oh yeah, you're coming to inspect the land next week... Since Ludwig offered a trade with some eastern land near the Fenrir territory, it should be dealt with quickly, right?"

Nikolai liked Sarah because even if he flirted or teased her, she would always prioritise business before pleasure. Since he was someone who couldn't do that, it really helped stop him from straying from the path and delaying important things.

"What is wrong with that? I also don't mind since Boss is treating me for everything. Didn't you cause a mess for him already?" Sarah asked while holding her arms below her chest, emphasising her size advantage, stretching her tired muscles and yawning.

"Let's talk about work later, over drinks. Since we managed to avoid the issue, make sure you let the other workers go and enjoy their dinner if they want. It would probably be cramped to go with you and me, their bosses." Nikolai remembered working in a small office, where team dinners with the management felt so awkward and stiff.

"Risa, I'll make sure to reward you again, so this time, share it with Sarah; she rarely gets time to herself to relax and enjoy a night out."

"Well, it makes sense, but still..." Risa glared at Sarah, pulling out her tongue. She usually only cared about herself, but this time, Risa wanted to appeal to Nikolai.

"Are you sure, master?" Sarah looked concerned. She wasn't the type to ask him for anything other than permission to work or go ahead with large transfers.

"See, look, this place has good steak, and the other dishes have great feedback."

"Oh my god, this place... look at the cost, master! Are you really taking us to this place?!" Sarah's eyes shone bright, yet her voice sounded reserved. It was the first time he noticed she liked expensive meat.

"It sounds great to me!" Risa, however, seemed purrfectly happy as she sat on his lap. She then tapped the screen to see which table and room he booked, her eyes narrowing into pleasant crescent moons, seeing it was the highest-cost room.

'This spoiled cat... should I make her eat from the rubbish bins outside?' Nikolai pondered how much it would cost him to feed such a demanding mouth.

"Huh... why do they have rooms for meals?" Sarah thought aloud curiously, not reading all the details of what could occur once guests reached their tables.

'Does this girl not know about the VIP and special customer treatment that most places offer in this city?'

"Oh, you didn't know? Such a lovely woman wanted to reach the top of the business world and still doesn't know about the VIP and special rooms available? You should stop eating each food from now on. You are the president of this company."

Like this, Nikolai convinced Sarah to join him at the expensive restaurant in the central area of S-City. A place where it cost an arm and a leg to dine.

"Come on. First, we need to get some decent clothes; let's head to your old workplace. Don't you want to show off a little with this?" Nikolai held a black card with a smirk on her lips.

"..." Sarah didn't answer, but Risa, on the other hand...

"Hehe~ I would love to!" As she grabbed the card and dashed towards the door, only for Nikolai to drag her back, holding her tail.

"Nyooo!! Animal cruelty~ help me!" Risa began to flail around, using her agile limbs to run along the walls and ceiling, trying to free herself.

However, she failed.
