Blessed by Night

Chapter 153  Married??

"You don't even sound like you believe that."

"Malachi!"

"Alright, alright. "

Malachi pulled the mature beauty back into his arms and ignored her look of murderous rage. "This is... actually, I don't know who the hell she is.

"I'm Nadine!" she said happily. "Don't care." Malachi continued. "But she's a vampire who enslaved Morgan in the dungeon and she had some shady demands.

I would have dealt with her back then but I thought Anna was hurt and I didn't have the time so I stuck her in the shadow realm and-"

"Are you referring to your storage space as the shadow realm now?" Sei asked accusingly. "Yea, you don't like it?"

"It's fine but I know you stole it from that silly card game that you and Aisha like."

"Can you prove that?"

"Fufufu~ I guess not."

Malachi nodded, grateful that his secret was still safe and sound within the confines of his mind. "Anyway, she made it seem like just killing her wouldn't help free him so I had to take her with me."

Sei felt like she was nursing a migraine and rubbed her head like she was trying to wipe away years of exhaustion. "Honey... have you stopped to consider how absurd it is that you walked out of a dungeon with a monster instead of any drops..?"

"...No?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The drops wold be collected and divided before they were sent to a warehouse owned by Luna, and it wasn't really like he had taken Nadine because he wanted to keep her as a pet. Why was that so absurd?

Sei seemed to find his look of genuine confusion just the slightest bit cute and she quickly forgot why she was feeling upset.

But as soon as she looked at the bewitching vampire for a second time, she quickly remembered the reason why.

She was just too pretty and threatening. Nadine hadn't even really said anything yet, and Sei already didn't like her. Nadine finally picked herself up from the ground and dusted off her large bottom. "You know if she's not going to have sex with you, I am more than interested~"

Now Sei REALLY didn't like her. She held Malachi a bit more possessively as she scowled at the beauty from another world. Nadine smirked as she saw this and dragged her gaze up and down both of their bodies. "Don't be like that, we can share him! I can even-"

"Can you stop fucking with me and just tell me what you want?" All that Malachi cared about was getting Morgan from underneath this woman's thumb. Anything else was unnecessary and quite frankly a real headache. He was just glad that Anna wasn't here. With her short temper and rampant jealousy, she would've started beating this bitch already. Nadine pouted slightly as if she couldn't believe she was failing to seduce the two of them. "What, you don't like me?"

"You compelled a friend of mine and made him murder innocent people. The fuck do you think?"

"Yea well, you and your friends probably murdered my friends and husband judging by the fact that you're still standing here, so can't we just call it even?"

Pushing her luck, Nadine inched closer to Malachi and placed her hand on his chest. Seconds before it was swatted away by Sei, she felt something criminally unusual from within his body. "You... don't have a heartbeat?  What exactly are you?"

Ignoring her, Malachi remained stone faced and focused on rescuing Morgan. "I want you to let him go."

Smirking, Nadine folded her arms across her large chest. "And I will, as long as you marry me."

The way that Mal and Sei's mouths fell open at the exact same time was utterly comical. Neither of them really knew what to say to Nadine's proposal that came completely out of left field. All they could do was stare at her like she'd grown a second head. "You're insane."

"You're out of your rabbit ass mind."

"The two of you are so mean!" Nadine cried. "You killed my old husband, so now you should be my new one! That's completely fair!"

""The hell it is!""

"Why!?"

"Cause you're blackmailing him!" Sei reasoned. "I prefer to think of it as being a shrewd negotiator though?"

"I couldn't give a fuck what you prefer!"

All of this yelling had alerted the attentions the actual residents of this home. Crystal and Emilia were both in silk robes and night gowns with their hair tied up like they were ready for bed. Their eyes were red and puffy like they'd been crying a lot, and they looked so exhausted like they had lost years off their life force in one night. "Malachi...? W-Who are these women and why are you in our backyard..?" Emilia asked. "Ah... about that."

It took Mal a total of five minutes to tell Morgan's wives everything about why he was there and that he wasn't just  with random women. In retrospect, he should have introduced Sei first instead of Nadine, because as soon as he told them about the pale blonde woman they lunged at her like they were going to kill her. "You bitch!"

"Give us our husband back!"

Malachi had to catch the girls with his telekinesis and held them in the air so that they didn't get themselves killed, but that didn't stop them from clawing at her like they were going to tear her eyes out. Earlier today, they received a notice that Morgan was reported missing inside the dungeon after going crazy and attacking everyone. Obviously they feared the worst, and the two of them had spent the entire night crying their little hearts out at the loss of the man they loved. And now they were learning that their beloved Morgan wasn't dead, just chilling in the shadow realm while Mal tried to get his brain unscrewed by a ditzy vampire. But now, he had an entirely different ordeal on his hands.

One that came in the form of controlling Morgan's hotheaded wives who were unafraid of the charming monster. "How could you do that to him!?"

"I'll beat you with a fucking coat hanger!!"

Mal smiled wryly as he tried to prevent these nice women from getting themselves killed by a SSS rated monster.  "Hey ladies, can the two of you just-"

"Bloodsucking bitch!"

"Dirty hoe!"

Sighing in defeat, Malachi gave Sei a small nudge as a signal for her to take over. Her eyes glowed silver for a few seconds, and Emilia and Crystal's bodies both started to become heavy. When they were snoring lightly in the air, Malachi gave her a grateful kiss on the cheek and butt squeeze before returning his focus towards Nadine. Surprisingly, she didn't seem to be bothered by the insults of the two and she was even pinching their cheeks like she found them rather cute. "These two are so fiery. I can tell that they are good wives."

Looking back at Malachi, she flashed him a smile that would have made most men weak in the knees. "I could be as good of a wife to you as they are to their husband. Does that truly sound so bad?"

"....Yes."

"Oh come on!"

Malachi would not change his mind for anything in the world. He didn't have eyes for any women other than the ones he already had, least of all a literal vampire who could wreak all kinds of havoc on this world. Even now, he was silently thinking up ways to kill her after he freed Morgan. Sunlight was a nice choice but he didn't really like it either, so he silently decided to choke her to death with the leftover garlic parmesan wings they had at home. Assuming that those myths actually worked that is. Nadine seemed to recognize that she wasn't getting anywhere and sat crosslegged on the ground as she began to think up a new strategy. 'Hmmm.... he really seems like he has no interest in me.'

'That makes him even more perfect!'

'Hmmm.... he really seems like he has no interest in me.'

'That makes him even more perfect!'

'Those eyes that are filled with contempt are so different from that other man's, I just have to have him!'

'I have to think of a new way to play this, one that guarantee's that he'll let me live long enough to woo him and get into his pants!'

Scratching her head, she wracked her brain for several seconds as she tried to think of any possible method that would result in her desired outcome. After thinking hard enough for smoke to come out of her ears, she finally seemed to reach a conclusion that caused her to let out a happy giggle. Standing back up, she started inching closer to Malachi once agin. "Alright then, handsome, we don't have to get married right now-"

""Not ever.""

"Sure, sure." She said with a shrug. "I have something that might be even better in mind for us. Would you like to hear it?"
