Nikolai enjoyed a long and wonderful sleep. The mont he closed his eyes back at the apartnt, he enjoyed a nostalgic dream.
A dream of the days he was a small child, and his mother took him everywhere. It was a warm feeling that he didn't want to wake from.
'Hmmm...?'
Yet why did the dream suddenly change...?
A small mansion covered in flas, monsters and n clad in tactical gear holding guns charging inside.
'What's going on...'
The dream beca lucid—he could feel, sll, and act as if he were there. Despite this, Nikolai was still helpless... was it a mory or a dream?
'Who is showing this?'
Nikolai felt a strong sense of rejection... he desperately tried to close his eyes as if his body knew sothing that would happen soon.
The tactical team got into the mansion, fighting strange, bizarre and mutated monsters as they traversed inside. Nikolai couldn't help but follow them. The team couldn't see him, but he could see and hear them—even the scent of gunpowder tickled his nose.
'This mansion... why does it feel familiar?'
'What's going on and why do I feel so much fear?!'
He couldn't understand why he saw this scene because there wasn't anything special before he slept... no, there was. Nikolai devoured a huge amount of black blood crystals filled with that strange undeath energy!
However, why now? He felt sothing ominous.
But after passing many doors, the dream grew more realistic. Nikolai felt a heavy pressure on his back, chest and head, and his steps grew lighter. It was as if the ground didn't exist.
Was he about to leave the dream?
The tactical team moved further until they stopped in front of an ornate door—the feeling of death thickened like a black cloud. No, it wasn't just a simple cloud! Nikolai's eyes transford and beca pure black because of that familiar mist.
"Hurry, check for corruption!"
"Get the tool!"
Nikolai watched as they refused to enter the room, gathering around the door while one male pulled out a bleeping device.
Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep—!
Rapid bleeping started to echo in the hallway, and the atmosphere beca complicated. A frigid cold spread from the door as if to seal it, and the hushed voices whispered inside as if in conflict.
"Captain... the corruption is beyond anything we've ever seen."
"Hurry! Blast down the door—we must stop whatever is happening!"
Then suddenly...
Wham!
*Crackle-Crack!*
As they forced the door open with explosives, Nikolai watched them run inside with no fear.
'Eh?!'
However, the explosion of mist and energy overshadowed their insanity. Yet Nikolai's black eyes saw sothing, figures inside the mist... familiar figures that he could never forget...
Inside a dark room, filled with the stench of blood and strange black markings on the ground... a slight glow fading from the circle of bizarre runes. It seed a ritual just ended, as if the people inside were a cult.
"M-Mother?"
It was strange the first ti he spoke aloud in the dream, and the next mont, Elizabeth's eyes glowed bright red and looked at him through the smoke.
In her arms was a bloody boy with black hair. His body seed to suffer a seizure while black blood oozed from his lips, nose and eyes... the source of the mist.
"Don't look..."
His mother's voice was the sa one that comforted him each day since he awakened. The reason for him is to push himself to the limit and force himself through the suffering.
"Don't look, Nikolai!"
But how could he look away from his mother... a living body, even if a dream he couldn't turn away... with blurred eyes, he wanted to reach out. Yet he lost the ability to move; his words no longer ca out as if they returned to a normal dream...
"You must not look... please return... Wake up!"
That's when he noticed her gaze; there were five girls... one familiar blonde with fluffy cat ears... another blonde with fox ears.
They were unconscious and bleeding from their noses while attached to a strange device pumping... or maybe sucking blood from their bodies.
Nikolai's mind began to scream in agony, like knives carving his soft, grey matter... The sound of gunfire and the shouts of various adults suddenly drowned the voice of his mother.
Bang-Bang-Bang—!
He could see her lips moving. Able to speak to him even in this dream, and trapped within his subconscious. What he found interesting was that when she covered the small Nikolai's eyes.
Then, slowly, my vision began to fade.
However, at the last mont, I saw the scene she probably wanted to avoid seeing... I could only feel a sense of vertigo and the desire to scream, yet my mouth felt sewn shut.
Selene... there were two identical girls, one stood in front of the young Nikita and Selene... an ice wall protecting them.
Yet... as the dream began to fade, a gunshot rang out and struck the girl in the back. However, the blood flowed down the child who protected the others. With a hole through her chest, and blood ca pouring out.
Nikolai's soul scread.
His mind shouted like a wounded animal... his lungs burned, his throat was dry, but that didn't stop him.
A feeling of emptiness... that red hair and ice-blue eyes.
How could he not recognise those eyes and the one who shot her was Ryan's father...
Yet before I could make anything out, the dream shattered, and the sound of birds and sunlight awoke him from the dream...
At the last mont of his clarity, that red-haired girl felt like she could see him, too, because she smiled and mouthed sothing at him.

"Haa....ha.....haa.... what....?!"
Nikolai woke up covered in sweat—his body felt horrible and languid.
The bizarre and unbelievable dream was now over.
But Nikolai could feel the heat from the flas, the scent of corruption from the mist, along with the voices and screams in the background. Everything still felt surreal.
The more he thought about the dream, the more real it felt... As if he really appeared in that mansion during the strange ritual. Nikolai covered his face, feeling the sticky sensation of his damp face, and rolled out of bed.
With each step, the dream began to fade from his mind, like a silk veil floating away with the breeze.
All that remained was a deep fear.
'What is so terrifying?'
'It was... all just a dream, right?'
Those blue eyes showed no reaction, even with her chest blown open... it felt eerie and unreal.
Thud—Thud—!
"Huh?"
There was a sudden banging at his door while Nikolai stood in a towel after taking a quick shower, but the person knocking seed to get irritated. Then kicked the door, smashing it open as Nikita appeared with a frown.
BANG!
"Nikolai! Oh~ you... were taking a shower?"
"Yes, what is it, Nikita?"
She looked a little sheepish, with red cheeks, then strolled towards him, swaying her hips with a smile on her lips. Nikita seed most dangerous while acting like this.
Nikita's confident and slightly arrogant atmosphere before she jumped at him. Her petite fra launched at Nikolai with a tackle.
Nikolai easily caught her and looked into her eyes with a smile.
'After that strange dream, I felt so unsettled, but looking at this cute wolf, it all feels like a lie.'
'Though... I wanted to know that girl's na.'
"I just wanted to see you after you didn't call or ssage for an entire day!"
"I did, though? Didn't you reply that you're busy?"
"Ohhh, so I did. But it was only one sentence; even your beloved fiancee would be angry," She said playfully with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yeah, yeah, well... shall we enjoy breakfast together?"
Nikolai let his thoughts simr while he carried the light Nikita to the living room, tossing her onto the sofa with a squeal. He noticed she wore a skirt today, which was unusual.
'She normally only wears tight jeans, or hot pants. I wonder why she made the change...'
'Hmm... is she wearing a thong?'
Her skirt was light and floated around and revealed her plump little ass and the thin cloth trapped between the firm cheeks. It was extrely erotic to see so close.
"Wow, aren't you perverted today, checking out!"
"Nikita, when wasn't I perverted when it ca to your ass?"
"Kyaa~ wait we didn't eat breakfast yet..."
"What are you talking about, Nikita?" His hands wrapped around her from behind. Then his fangs extended and slipped into her soft neck, causing the lovely wolf to yelp. "You ARE my breakfast."
"S-Sto... haaa..."
Nikolai ignored her and began to suck, sending shockwaves through her petite body. Eventually, she relaxed her muscles and lay on the sofa, giving herself to him completely.
When Nikita cald down and felt satisfied, he stopped. The slightly sluggish Nikita was lying against his chest while stroking his cheek.
'My fight with Alistair is coming, tonight... that's not a long ti to prepare.'
"Do you want sothing to eat?"
"No~ I want to stay with you, at least until the fight with that idiot."
"I understand."
While holding Nikita, Nikolai realised he had lost his hunger after seeing that bizarre and realistic dream.
'That girl...'
"Hey... Nikita, does the na Lunaria an anything to you?"
At that mont, Nikolai felt as if the atmosphere changed, and before he knew it, Nikita was looking up at him with the most bizarre look. That gentle and carefree expression transford into a gaze filled with confusion, anger and loss.
Her golden eyes widened as she spoke, almost breathless, "H-How do you know that na?" She pushed him away from her with a rough shove, creating so distance as if she felt anxious about being near Nikolai.
'I know that na from sowhere, but where?' Nikolai scratched his head while looking at Nikita, pacing back and forth before eventually stopping. "Nikita? Do you know soone called that?"
That's when her lip trembled, and she looked at him directly.
"Today isn't good for ... I'll co see you before the fight okay?"
Nikolai felt a little angry, yet he could see the emotions emitted from Nikita for the first ti so clearly. Sothing happened between her and this Lunaria person because he could see how intense the emotions were through her aura.
A complex blend of bitterness, sadness and resentnt. It was such a thick emotion that Nikolai felt reluctant to push Nikita for answers right away.
"Okay, take your ti."
Nikolai leaned back into the soft sofa and realised he had beco too hasty for an answer. He watched Nikita leave, that panic and fear sothing he had never sensed from anyone before. 'I should wait... slowly... everything will beco obvious.'

She rushed out of his ho, Nikita's heart racing as she dashed at full speed, struggling to breathe while tears filled her golden eyes. The wet trails streaked down her face, dripping across her chest as the pain she felt in her soul consud everything.
Once out of the apartnt block, she raced off to the far end of the city, running nonstop. Even as her lungs began to scream, Nikita refused to stop... Discover stories with m,v l'e-
Until she found herself standing in Selene's apartnt... and shattered glass around her body.
"Well.. what are you doing coming through the door, like a beast?"
Selene's sarcastic voice sounded from behind. Her sharp red gaze caused Nikita's panic to settle slowly.
"I-It's about Nikolai..."
"Eh?! What's wrong? Is he alright?!" Selene beca a little too frantic. So much so that the glass from the window began to shake in place, along with several other things on the shelf; at that mont, the tension returned tenfold.
"W-Wait... it's nothing bad, I think... well... yes... he asked about Luna!"
"What?"
At that mont, Selene's body froze, and her smile vanished... a cold atmosphere before she covered her face and let out a bitter laugh.
"I am sure you just misheard, there is no way he could rember!"
"Selene... he asked about her!"
