Capítulo 34: The Reunion Looms

Nikolai sat on his sofa while drinking a can of premium imported beer—the can was black with a red star on the front with a slightly fresh citrus taste. It was easy to drink.

Anya seemed to fall into a deep sleep after the ritual finished and even Nikita's shouting and noise didn't disturb her.

After Nikita snuck into his apartment, or rather because he gave her the entrance code, thinking she would come in an hour. There was a slight issue when she noticed the beautiful blonde in his bed, but after scolding him and sniffing his body, she realised Nikolai was still pure.

"Who?"

"A sister of a friend, she's a good girl. Don't be jealous."

"J-Jealous?! Who would be jealous? Why?!"

'Oh? So even though she is so obvious when she attacks me and is on the aggressive side. Is her defence zero? Look at how cute her red face is.'

"Hmm? You're not jealous; that's a shame. If you were, I might have kissed you."

"K-Kissed?! Nikolai, don't joke around...!"

'Ah... what do I do?! If he kisses me, I will lose control. Nikolai, why are you so handsome, what if some other women try to take you away? That slut Mari used to like you. What if she gets you drunk and tries something... Maybe I should just kill her now?'

With a bitter smile, Nikolai downed the rest of his beer—thankfully, this was the zero-alcohol type. Not because he liked it but because he needed to drive to the meeting place at a restaurant a few streets away.

"Nikita, where is your dress for tonight?"

"Eh... Well, isn't this fine?" She replied, looking at her hot pants, white t-shirt and leather jacket.

"Well, I can't deny you look great in anything, but I kind of wanted to see how you looked in a dress or fancy clothes."

"O-Oh... then, I will go get changed. Don't laugh, Nikolai!"

Nikita then jumped off the sofa, her shyness different from her usual self, which made Nikolai more amused. He then noticed her taking a black package off the table in the dining room before she dashed off into the bathroom.

[It seems you've learned how to deal with her. That's Ivan's son, alright.]

'Shush, I knew she was weak to compliments, but to think she is even weaker when I try to flirt or seduce her she becomes like a rabbit stalked by a wolf.'

[To Selene (D-Cup, Erotic Woman)]

— Just to let you know, your sister is sleeping right now. I will be leaving in about an hour, so here's the entrance code and my address so you can get her later.

You will probably be surprised, but please don't ask questions. Take it as me doing something in return for the money you give me all the time.

[From Selene (D-Cup, Erotic Woman)]

—Understood. I'll come pick her up in an hour.

Thank you.

The reply was quick. A simple thanks and Selene didn't ask questions.

As Nikolai waited for Nikita to come out, he wondered how the meeting would go.

He was nervous about meeting the people from the past who all knew how poor he was back then. Some girls would offer him money if he slept with them or dated them, but after refusing, they started to join the bullies, as if out of spite.

'That reminds me of the rumour about me being paid by Nikita's family to be her toy. She went wild and almost disfigured several girls because of it. Let's hope nothing bad happens this time...'

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and the girl who came out was not Nikita. A beautiful woman with a perfect hourglass figure, short, silver hair and warm golden eyes. With each step, Nikolai felt his heartthrob, and he couldn't resist her sudden changes—he stood from the sofa and approached Nikita.

"I've never seen you look so beautiful and charming before, Nikita..."

[Oh? Are you going to choose the lovely white werewolf over the crimson vampire?]

"A-Ah...."

'Beautiful... Charming! Nikolai rarely gives compliments... especially with such lustful eyes... Is he finally looking at me as a woman, not just a friend?!'

Nikita's face turned bright red as she looked away. She suffered a sense of defeat when compared to other women from the moment she awakened as a werewolf. Because Nikita was so short compared to Nikolai, she always felt rough and that she lacked femininity because of her work and lifestyle.

'If given the choice between her and Selene, I don't think I could choose either.'

[Then take both. The world of humans might see it as wrong. However, monsters are different. All that matters is blood and your blood, thanks to that strange god's blood. No one has a purer bloodline than you.]

'I won't force anything, but let's stop pushing her away or feigning ignorance.'

"Nikolai... are you going to change too?"

"Ah, don't be falling for me again when you see me."

"W-Who would?! Idiot!"

He couldn't help but enjoy the feminine and shy Nikita, though her usual vulgar and erotic sex was just as good in his eyes.

Nikolai then checked his watch and shrugged. He headed towards his room to change into the Verface custom suit for the night. Although a little extravagant, it wasn't too expensive, like Sarah's advice.

"I'll be right back, Nikita. I'm sure you'll be impressed."

"Yeah..."

Nikita, who sat back down on the sofa, smiled as she looked at the door to the bedroom while kicking her feet. The feeling of wearing a dress was different from how she usually felt.

'I wonder if Nikolai would want to go on a date with me? Should I ask or wait for him to ask? What should I wear? No, maybe something a bit sexier like those girls in the films he watches?'

Nikita became lost in her thoughts. In her mind, thoughts of how tonight might unfold and what she would do to Nikolai when he got drunk.

However, these erotic thoughts faded the moment she heard his shoes tapping against the expensive wooden flooring.

"Nikola--"

'!!!'

The moment she saw him in his black suit and tie with a crisp white shirt, her face became red, and she felt her heart throbbing. His suit was sleek and silk and made it seem like Nikolai was shining in the light, like a god of charm in Nikita's eyes.

Nikolai laughed, seeing the girl so stunned, and couldn't help but find her adorable, though he knew the others might tease and bully him when the evening moved on.

"I told you not to fall for me."

"Idiot!"

'He's too cool...!'

The man in front of her was not the Nikolai she knew. His facial features and his cold expression while wearing that suit made him look like a handsome young CEO. She couldn't help but drool, but she twisted her head away when he laughed and tried to hide her blushed face.

"So? Am I impressive, or am I not?"

'Idiot... my heart won't stop pounding. Why do you look so sexy in that suit?! Who chose a suit that would bring out your charms so well!'

"You look okay..."

Nikita lied. However, she could not control her heart, which Nikolai could obviously hear. Not to mention, he could feel her feelings his blood art gave him from her atmosphere and body language.

Nikolai knew he made the lovely wolf embarrassed and excited at the same time.

"I see, that's disappointing. Shall we get ready to leave then? I'm driving."

***

In a luxurious and well-decorated restaurant, three men and two women sat in a private room in the back, enjoying themselves.

"Hey, did you hear? That poor bastard Nikolai is coming tonight. Hey, Mari, didn't he used to like you?"

The male with short black hair, an expensive watch and a suit snorted while his hands slipped into her dress, causing the woman named Mari to make an awkward groan before nodding.

"Yes, sir, he is coming."

"Well, that's great; at least we have someone to make fun of. Hahaha!"

All three men were laughing, while the two women seemed a little different. The mention that Nikolai would come made their eyes shine with brilliance, but then, when the males ordered them around, the reality of their choices made them fall back into hell.
