Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

In the castle of Tepes, Vlad stood before a strange room with black walls and an icy chill in the air with an enormous door made of strange material.

"Selina, do you think we will need this room again?" Vlad's voice contained a small flicker of worry as he opened a small locket with a picture of two children who looked identical. One with Red hair and golden eyes, while the other with blonde hair and scarlet red eyes.

"Do you think if she learns the truth, Selene will be upset?"

The pair held their hands tight and let out a long sigh before Vlad and Selina placed their palms on either side of the door.

A beautiful glow of crimson and blue light began shimmering as the door started to move. Despite the gothic castle's look, the mechanisms seemed to be modern, with a loud hydraulic hiss followed by the titanium grinding along the walls, gradually opening fully with a huge icy gust of wind flowing from inside the chamber.

Vlad and Selina walked through the door and into the dark and empty room. In the middle of the room, a figure encased in huge crystals of ice was sitting down on top of a small throne—no, there were two small thrones. However, the throne on the right was thawed, and the huge ice crystals were shattered, leaving it empty.

A beautiful woman, around the same age as Selene, sat as if sleeping, her eyes closed and long crimson hair down to her ankles and a peaceful smile on her lips as if forgotten by the world in this small prison.

"I can't bear the thought of her being locked in this icy prison for eternity," Selina said as she held Vlad's arm and looked at the sleeping figure.

"She will understand that everything we did, we did to protect her and her sister..." Vladimir's eyes looked at the girl with a mixture of love, regret and sadness.

He walked over to her and pressed his hand against the ice, protecting her face, before moving his hand, removing the ice from the surface and kissing her forehead.

"It's already been two hundred years... Why has Lunaria grown inside this prison, yet Selene remained a child until meeting that boy?"

"Selina... you know the girls were linked from the moment that your bloodline was discovered to be different. We knew the dangers of trying to awaken a hybrid and ignored Elizabeth's plea. If it weren't for our greed and desire to use her power, then she wouldn't have—"

Selina pressed her finger to Vlad's lips and silenced him. "I know... I know, and I am so grateful to have you and our daughters. This was our choice, and we must bear the consequences. Even if Lunaria and Nikolai were to hate us, we must live with that guilt..."

Vladimir's hand remained on the blue crystal that kept his daughter Lunaria frozen and safe from the curse of becoming a hybrid. Yet even now, he could feel her powerful aura. It was neither vampire nor werewolf but something strange and bordering on a true monster aura.

"Let us hope that she can one day overcome this trial and escape this eternal tomb of ice."

Lunaria was frozen in the ice, yet it seemed her body's growth and power continued to increase despite being trapped for two hundred years. Her crimson hair was long and flowing, yet she didn't open her eyes. In her lap, a small aura of light was flickering a faint white colour.

"Will you tell Selene?" Selina asked with a curious voice.

"That girl's memories should start coming back to her if she spends time with Nikolai. When she comes to me, I shall tell her everything she wants to know.

With a regretful look filled with affection, they couldn't stay here for long, as even Vlad's flesh began to freeze, small patches of the strange ice crystals forming on his body.

Reluctantly, the pair left Lunaria's chamber and sealed the entrance, making their way towards the meeting chamber, where all the Elders were waiting.

"It seems that at the auction, the pair spent the night together. There is no turning back now..."

Meanwhile, back inside the frozen room, the blue crystal made a small crack—the room seemed calm before suddenly, a pair of golden eyes appeared.

For a moment, they shone with strange runes before turning red, identical to Selene's eyes for a few moments, before her lips moved inside the blue ice crystal and Lunaria's voice echoed out in a small whisper.

"Sister, why did you leave Lunaria behind?"

***

In the early morning, the sun rose over the city, and the streets were filled with people and vehicles. After the comfortable evening, Selene and Nikolai were enjoying a coffee at Moon Bucks.

Because they spent the night together, the atmosphere between them changed, as Selene became a little less aggressive but more clingy and slightly jealous of the other women who gazed at Nikolai.

"Will you stop pouting? It ruins your cute little face..."

"Hmph! That girl put her number on your cup. How could I be calm?! You already have one other woman. What if you get a secret lover or mistress!"

'Women are so annoying to deal with!'

"I promise I won't...." Nikolai gave a defeated sigh as he grabbed Selene's hand and began to stroke her—though he didn't really mind her acting like this, for now, he just wanted to enjoy the feeling of having confirmed their feelings.

The night before was still fresh in his memory, and he felt that if he could, Nikolai would have spent the entire day in that private room with her. But she was a busy person and needed to finish some work at the office, and he needed to enter the tower Ryan contacted him about a possible follow-up mission for the Ghoul hunt earlier.

'It seems I might not see Selene for a few days...'

Selene curled her lips into a smile seeing his reaction but then pushed them out to pout at him—her eyes narrowed into delighted slits before nodding. "Mhm, okay, I won't blame you."

However, deep inside her heart, Selene was genuinely happy to have finally found someone to love her and spend time with her. She felt a sense of bliss from the pain between her thighs and the dull ache that remained. It seemed her regenerative powers didn't work on these types of wounds and pains. 'He looks so handsome right now... hehe.'

As they sat in the cafe, Selene watched the passersby and felt relieved that her life was changing for the better.

"I never thought I would feel this way again, not since the days when my father and mother took me and my sister on picnics in that park. Hmmm?"

"Ugh... What..." Selene's head suddenly began to ache.

She felt a stabbing pain as if something was gouging out her brain. Her eyes turned from red to silver for a moment before they returned to normal.

A series of memories that didn't seem to be hers flashed before her eyes. Yet, with her heart, she denied those memories and clenched her teeth, covering her head.

'It's not true... these aren't true... You're wrong... I am not a traitor!' Her mind became confused as she struggled as tears began seeping from her eyes.

"Where did you go? Brother Kai, It's cold here..."

"Selene?! What's going on?" Nikolai asked in a worried voice. He stood up and quickly held onto her, but Selene pushed him away. Yet there was no actual force, so he hugged her tight in his arms. She looked into his eyes with a look of fear, her hands trembling, and her eyes filled with tears.

'Why are her eyes silver? She feels like a different person!'

"I'm fine..." She whispered, struggling to keep herself together. "Thank you, Nikolai." Selene smiled at him, and the colour of her eyes changed from silver back to red again as if an illusion.

"Do you want me to take you home?" He asked, worried about her condition. With people around them starting to look over, he lifted her into his arms and headed outside towards the M9 Excelsior waiting for them.

However, when they reached the car, and he let her down, she took the key before standing on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "No, it's okay. I just want to lie down for a little while. I will get some medicine and a bit of rest, so don't worry."

Selene looked around at the people walking by. A few girls gave Nikolai a side glance before they walked on, their expressions filled with curiosity and other feelings, causing Selene's chest to become tight, a flame of anger at them growing, but she quelled it thanks to his hug.

"Are you sure you can drive right now?"

"Yeah, I will be okay." With that, Selene climbed into the driver's seat and turned the ignition key to start the engine.

The sound of the powerful car revving up brought a slight smile to Nikolai's face. Her fingers gripped the steering wheel, and she put the vehicle into gear. "I love you, I really do... So don't look like that, Nikolai. I will call you tonight, okay?"

"I love you too, so drive safe. Sorry that I couldn't comfort you better."

"Fool... if you weren't here, I would have collapsed." Selene lifted her lips, forming a faint smile, her eyes never leaving his face.

Only on m v|le|mp|yr

With that, she quickly drove away, leaving him alone. Nikolai sighed as he watched Selene drive off into the distance. He wondered what had caused her to have such a sudden change of behaviour and the strange silver colour of her eyes.

'Could it be something from the past I cannot remember? But... why did her strange state make me want to stab her chest as if she was my sworn enemy...'
