Capítulo 8: The Fearsome Effects of Blood Frenzy!

Nikolai's mind was like static his mind full of hunger. His body darted through the night until it reached the alleyway that triggered his senses.

In the darkness of this normally unused back alley, a body sat against the wall, the faint beating of its heart clear as Nikolai approached with a predator's steps, silent and deadly. His eyes flickered over the figure to reveal a rather beautiful woman. She leaned against the cold, dirty wall with her jacket torn and a wallet on the floor with all the cards and money missing.

"P....please...h-help.... someone...." The woman's voice hoarse as she called for help.

However, all Nikolai could hear was her heart pumping faster. The sweet scent of her blood filled his nose with its tempting scent.

Although the people close might have been just as delicious because her blood oozed from the knife wound in her stomach, the blood attracted him to this place. Instead of hunting someone close by, the blood thirst prioritised one thing.

Sating his hunger for Blood!

Nikolai didn't bother to check if she was alive; instead, the thirst clouded his mind. He could feel his fangs extending from his gums and his mind turning blank. He brought his face towards the woman's neck, ignoring her weak pleas as he sank his fangs into the woman's neck.

Nikolai could feel the warm blood flowing into his mouth; it was a taste he couldn't describe, sweet like a drug, intoxicating and addictive. The flavour of her blood reminded him of his mother's baked dessert.

Nikolai closed his eyes, relishing the sweet taste. He didn't notice the woman's struggles and weak cries for help till, eventually, her hands no longer struggled, instead wrapped around his thick biceps; not long after he began to drink, the clarity and feeling of static began fading from his mind.

Strength: 19 (+1) Agility: 22 (+1) Intellect: 15 (+1)

Nikolai ignored the notifications, too caught up with the taste of her blood. The woman's grip around his arms weakened. It was at this moment his mind regained some sense of clarity as he realised what was happening.

He retracted his fangs, blood dripping down his chin, watching as the woman took her last breath and her heartbeat stopped. The woman's hands fell off his biceps.

'Did... I kill this woman.... because of my hunger?'

[Calm down, Nikolai!]

'How can I calm down?!'

Nikolai stood up and backed away from the woman. His chest moved rapidly as he stared at the woman's lifeless body. Her blood stained his lips and drenched his clothes, but that wasn't the only thing he was aware of, her taste... it still filled his mouth, that sweet and tart flavour that made him want to keep drinking.

His lips trembled, the conflict of his mind as a human almost collapsing until... her neck and abdomen... began to heal, and the blood that covered the floor...

'What!?'

Her blood flowed back into her body as the wounds closed!

He didn't know why, but he took the knife that fell from her abdomen; the decent blade work seemed expensive as he hid it inside the waistband of his pants.

[I told you to calm down...]

Nikolai ignored the pendant's words and watched as the wounds healed completely, and the woman opened her eyes. They glowed a dark brown colour. Her eyes turned towards Nikolai.

"M...mmm, did you save me? Uh... it feels strange to move. I feel like I was hit by a-- Oh my god, wasn't I stabbed and robbed?!" The woman exclaimed, and Nikolai remained silent, staring at the woman with his crimson eyes.

'This... can vampires heal wounds?

The woman noticed Nikolai's silence, "Um, are you okay?"

"No, I am just glad you are alright. Though I couldn't catch the guys that did this, luckily, I scared them off before they stabbed you... Though I think they hit you in the abdomen with something quite hard." His words were so smooth and fluent that nobody could think they were a lie, causing Nikolai to be confused.

Because he sucked at lying to people!

'I lied to her so easily?' Nikolai was a little surprised.

"Oh... Thank you so much! However, is something the matter? You look a little pale?" The woman asked, climbing to her feet and falling into his arms. She blushed to notice the strange situation in his pants, causing her to squeal and push away.

Nikolai glanced at the woman and looked around. Luckily, nobody was around. 'Why is she acting so strange?'

"I am fine. Do you have somewhere you can go to?"

"I-I am okay... let's... I will go and take an ober ride home... so you can leave now, I will be fine.... honestly..."

The woman's cheeks were a little red, which Nikolai thought was because of her blood loss. He felt strange. Her gaze kept flickering to his crotch, but maybe she was just scared, and he let it go while waiting for her to book a ride home.

Nikolai walked with the woman, making sure she got a taxi ride home safely before walking back to his apartment.

He felt strange, lying to her about what happened and couldn't understand why she didn't turn into a monster or die... "First I should get some new clothes, my bed was a mess so I should order a new one, since I have money. It's probably best to at least use it."

'What the fuck just happened.'

Nikolai finally calmed down and could think a little clearer as he ignored the pendant's words, which strangely had been quiet the entire time. Nikolai remembered everything, from the static filling his mind, the bloodlust, the woman's cries and taste.

'Is this the monster I have become?'

Nikolai had never killed for pleasure, even in the military. He tried his best to save lives, But the moment that blood touched his lips...

He felt a pleasure that couldn't be compared to dating Miss's right hand...

'What the fuck is wrong with me.' Nikolai could only curse in his heart.

His crimson eyes flickered as he stared into the darkness.

'Was this my fate? To become a monster and kill innocents?' His body flopped down onto the sofa before he realised... his crotch was pitching a family-sized tent!

"No wonder she reacted so strangely... why do I have an erection after almost killing someone?"

[That is the effect of blood frenzy and the usual act of drinking blood from the opposite sex.]

'Hmmm? You finally start speaking?'

[Heightened sexual arousal, increased masculine hormones and destructive desire, rapid healing of wounds finished with a dash of excitement and euphoria.]

'Fuck, I almost moles that woman because of this?' Nikolai's eyes narrowed dangerously.

It wasn't an excuse. He could easily recognise his desire when he tasted her blood. If she hadn't pushed him away, and he didn't awaken, then that terrifying state... Nikolai didn't know what he would have done.

[Do not worry; that is only during a blood frenzy. You will feel the excitement during regular feeding. The effects will not be as drastic, though it is best you find the partner that turned you for the best person to deal with your need for blood.]

Nikolai's expression froze.

'Partner...?'
