My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires
Chapter 741: Maya Elizabeth Lykos, The Matriarch of Clan Lykos 2A 30-minute break took place for everyone to recover from the confrontation between the Lykos Clan Matriarch and Victor.
Mother and son were in a distant location, away from everyone. They were looking at Victor, who was spoiling his Wives and his mother.
"Adam, you will lose." Maya declared without pain or mercy. "Unlikely. He will only fight with his physical body."
"The moment the opponent has to limit himself to fight you, you have already lost, Adam."
"...." Adam had no words to refute that statement. He knew it to be true.
"Why is it so hard for you to let your daughter choose her own love?"
"He's a Vampire!" Adam growled.
"Is that your argument?" Maya narrowed her eyes.
Adam shuddered when he saw the look on his mother's face.
"Stop looking at Beings on a purely surface level. Have you turned into someone so racist, Adam? Did I raise you in such a way? Did I teach you to act in such a manner?"
"You didn't teach me anything! You just spanked me!" Adam countered with a lot of resentment in his voice.
"That is a form of teaching too." Maya nodded: "I am asserting my dominance over my arrogant children. I am teaching you humility. Many of my foolish sons and daughters think themselves untouchable just because they are of Clan Lykos."
"A thought that is just an illusion."
"I exist to break that illusion. I'd rather see my children and grandchildren beaten by me than die in vain because they underestimated an enemy through the notion of their name alone."
Adam again had no words to fight back. He knew very well that his brothers and sisters could be very arrogant because of the weight of their Family name.
Those arrogant individuals were usually given to the Matriarch for her to discipline them into being decent people. Even Adam himself was one of those sons she disciplined in the past, and because of the beatings he received when he was younger, he grew up to become a General.
"Just tell me, why are you so against Leona and Victor's relationship? As far as I know, they grew up together, and at some point, she even wanted him as her Beta."
"..." Adam raised his eyebrow, "How do you know that?"
"Did you really think I would let a child I named 'Elizabeth' out of my sight?" Maya looked at her son like he was stupid. Adam frowned in frustration. He really didn't know how to deal with his mother; after all, even if he was a General, she still treated him like a child, and he really didn't like that.
"Answer my question," Maya demanded.
Adam realized that she wasn't going to be satisfied until she got an answer:
"I really wouldn't mind if Leona had stayed with Victor if he were a Werewolf or Human."
"We both know that's a lie."
"..." Adam was speechless.
"Like most of my sons, you suffer from doting father syndrome when it comes to your daughters. So cut the bullshit and flowery words, and explain the damn reason you forbid this relationship, or I will spank you!" Maya's eyes glowed menacingly as she displayed her clenched fist full of veins.
Adam swallowed hard. Very realistic flashbacks of that fist hitting various parts of his body started to play in his mind. Not wanting to feel that pain again, he said: "I'm afraid of the future..."
"... Continue." Maya lowered her fist...for now.
Adam sighed in relief for a few seconds, then continued, "Honestly, I don't have a problem with Victor. He is a good son-in-law, he makes my daughter happy, and I know he will always protect her even with his life."
"But... I'm afraid of the future. This fear stems from a possible future where my daughter becomes pregnant. A Vampire-Werewolf Hybrid Child is something that will put a huge target on her back." A solemn mood hovered around the two.
"Hmm... Yes, you are a fool. Why did I even ask for your explanation again? Ugh, I never thought you were so dumb." She spoke in disdain, completely breaking this useless mood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mother!?"
"I will explain it clearly since your patronizing brain is hindering your IQ."
"Victor Alucard is The Second Progenitor of Vampires and the literal King of Hell. Not to mention that, individually, he is
stronger than me."
"There is no safer place than under his influence. Even if they were to have a Hybrid Child, no one would be foolish enough to go after them."
'Not to mention that with that man's resources, even if their child had some kind of illness due to being a Hybrid, they can handle it.' She didn't like the thought of a descendant of Clan Lykos getting sick, but she couldn't do anything about it without clashing with Victor.
'I wonder if he has any way to help Leona and their children. He doesn't seem like a man who would ignore this problem... Perhaps, he can use the World Tree's Power to help their child?'
"..." Adam opened his eyes wide when he heard what Maya said.
Maya stopped thinking about possible solutions to this future problem and sighed when she saw Adam's reaction: "Haaah, you're reacting like you're hearing this for the first time. Adam, you were on the battlefield when Victor fought Diablo. You directly felt his Power."
Adam's face darkened as he remembered that feeling of despair.
"Even though I hadn't witnessed that battle in person to gauge his Power, I confronted him directly a few minutes ago. So I have a good idea of that man's capabilities."
"And I am absolutely sure that even among the God-King Level Gods, he is in the top 10. In fact, he might even be a little higher. After all, he has the Power of a Vampire Progenitor capable of harming Souls."
'Not to mention he has a Contract with a World Tree where he draws Energy from... I wonder if he made a Contract with Nightingale's World Tree.'
"If I were going to fight him, I would have to use 'Elizabeth' and my Full Form in order to have a chance of defeating him." 'Even so, I would lose in the end. After all, the Energy cost to use those Forms is insane... And Energy is something that man has in abundance... Not only does he have the Contract with a World Tree, but he also has the Contract with a Dragon. I don't know if he has The Heart of A Dragon, but if he does... This man is basically a walking Nuclear Reactor.'
Maya knew of only three ways for a Humanoid Being to have Draconic characteristics. The first option was if a Dragon took on a Human Form, and the second option was if the Being was descended from a Dragon Knight.
And the last option was if the Being was a Dragon Knight themselves.
From what she could see, Victor fit more into the third option.
'Ugh, this man is such a pure diamond... He has so much potential it's ridiculous.' Again, she felt the nagging itch she'd had while clashing with Victor starting to build up inside her.
"...For you to rate him that high..." Adam never thought he would hear those words from his mother.
"...I really have to discipline you again. You've strayed so far away from me that it feels like you're living in an illusion. I've told you a million times, live in reality, Adam. Look at the world as it really is." She spoke in a scolding tone.
Adam felt a shiver run down his spine and quickly shook his head from side to side: "No need, Mother! I completely understand what you are talking about! He's stronger than you, right? Which means not even you can defeat him! So it's okay, yes."
A vein bulged on Maya's head. Even if it was true, she didn't like hearing her son say those words, not one bit.
"Haaah..." Maya sighed and decided to leave that matter aside. After all, she was an old, experienced person. She shouldn't lose her temper with her useless children. Instead, she should demonstrate wisdom and calm, right?
"Yes, as my mother is weaker than Victor..."
Another vein bulged on Maya's head as she heard Adam ramble on and on:
"Shut up!" She hit him over the head with her fist.
"Ughhh!" Adam crouched down while holding his head.
"Fuck, why, even after so long, does it still hurt the same!? My body has become stronger than before!"
"Idiot, my Fist of Love is not something that can be stopped." She snorted.
Maya turned her gaze to Leona, who was in Victor's lap. Seeing her granddaughter with a big happy smile on her face as Victor spoiled her... A strong man... A strong Alpha... And on top of that, a very handsome man.
The itch in her body increased even more, turning into desire, and envy was born from that desire.
"Tsk, to think I would envy my Granddaughter."
Maya wondered why she couldn't hear Victor. She was hypersensitive to the man's presence, all of her senses were focused on him, even though she didn't want to, but even with her senses, she couldn't hear what he was saying, even though he was clearly saying something.
"Mother!?" Adam looked shocked at Maya.
"What?"
"You can't add that bastard to your Harem!"
"My daughter bonding with him is bad enough. I'm pretty sure I'd kill myself if my mother were added!"
Maya hit Adam on the head again: "Respect me, you bastard!" "Ughyaaa!" He ended up getting hit again!
"And I will not add him to my Harem. He is not the equal of the Beta Werewolves that are my incompetent husbands. He is a True Alpha, even greater than the bastard Volk who has a collar around his neck in Tasha's hands."
That was one of the reasons why Volk only had one wife. He couldn't deal with another woman with Tasha around. After all, Tasha was an Alpha too... An Alpha that Volk never entirely subjugated.
Despite winning the confrontation and asserting his dominance in the relationship, Volk never really managed to fully 'subdue' Tasha.
Defeating someone was different from completely subjugating someone. When an Alpha subjugated another Alpha, the defeated Alpha would become a Beta and would be utterly submissive to the Alpha.
"Despite feeling an instinctive urge to jump on him and wanting him for my own, he will not accept this relationship and will definitely fight me for the position of Alpha."
Typically, this wouldn't be a problem. After all, her husbands in the past did the same thing, but in the end, they were all defeated and were now submissive to her.
But the problem was that Victor was not like her husbands. He really could make her submit to him.
Maya was a simple and decisive woman. If she liked something, she would take it. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't take it.
She didn't make things complicated; she didn't beat around the bush. She was always decisive. That was a personality trait that everyone who knew her acknowledged, which was why Adam was worried.
Maya had already felt an instinctive desire for Victor when she confronted him. When she saw the sight of Victor spoiling his Wives, a sight that, from her point of view, looked like a strong and capable Alpha Male protecting and caring for his pack, she felt this desire for him grow.
A Female Werewolf's basic instinct was to seek out a capable Alpha to sire offspring, something Maya never managed to find. After all, she was always stronger than the Male Alphas around her.
...But Maya knew that it was impossible to fulfill that wish... After all, even if she saw the world in a simple and somewhat primitive way, she was not willing to move forward. She was too used to being an Alpha, someone who dominated everyone.
Everyone had to answer to her; everyone had to pay respects to her. Becoming a 'Beta' for her was totally uncharted territory that she wasn't too eager to enter.
But... But... When she thought back to their previous confrontation, she felt her desire grow again. All the requirements she had for someone to become her companion, Victor had... Wrong; he surpassed every requirement by far.
'...Am I afraid...?' She opened her eyes wide as she realized her thought process.
'To think that I would be afraid of a possible confrontation....' She hadn't felt that way for a long time.
Her smile grew, and her insides tightened. Her instincts and desires were knocking at the door, demanding they be satisfied, but even though she felt it, she wouldn't do it.
She would settle for something else...
"Hmm, I wonder if he would be willing to simply give me a child?"
"Mother!?" Adam looked scandalized at Maya.
"Shut up, bastard! I am thinking!"
"Gahhh! My Head!"
The thought process was that if she had his child, her wish would be fulfilled, and she would ignore him afterward. After all, this had always happened before.
When she saw an Alpha who met one of her requirements, she took him, made him submit to him, had his child, and soon after lost interest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm... Little did she know that this thought process was a trap in itself. After all, Victor was no ordinary man.
Even though Maya had a lot of husbands, most of them she didn't even visit. She just visited her competent husbands or those who grew stronger and somehow gained her attention again. Most of the time, she was with her children and grandchildren. After all, she was an old woman with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
... It had been a long time since she'd felt the urge to mate as strongly as she felt now. In fact, she believed she'd never felt such a strong desire like this before. Even she was surprised that she felt it for someone who wasn't even her own species.
As far as she remembered, the last time she felt this urge was 300 or 500 years ago? It was around the time that she found Adam's father, and she clearly remembered that the desire she felt then wasn't as strong as it was now.
'Fuck, I really want him for myself. I want him inside me now!' She felt her insides squirm with desire and felt the tips of her erect nipples brush against the top she was wearing.
Sometimes it was irritating to be a True Werewolf. Unlike the weak and foolish members of the current generation who didn't embrace their Wolf side, Maya fully embraced her Werewolf side and became a True Werewolf. After all, just by embracing this animalistic side, a Werewolf could become stronger, just like her.
An example of Beings who did this were: Volk himself, the Ancient Alphas, who were the various Clan Patriarchs and Matriarchs, and The Ancient Progenitor of Werewolves. These Beings were the strongest Werewolves out there.
Tasha didn't because she wasn't exactly a Werewolf born from the Progenitor Bloodline of Werewolves. Instead, she was a Goddess of Egypt.
...However, embracing the Wolf Side had a side effect. The thought process of a Werewolf who had embraced their Wolf Side became more like that of a sapient animal.
Simply put, a Werewolf's 'instinct' became stronger than their 'reason'.
"Grrr." Sounds of menacing growling were heard all around.
Then Maya bit her lip quite seductively as she looked at Victor. She wanted to fight him, defeat him, and make this strong man belong to her. She wanted to assert her dominance over that strong Alpha.
Adam put his hand over his nose when he smelled Maya's lady boner. He didn't want to smell his mother's lady boner!
'Enough!!' A burst of golden Power surged through her body, and she finally felt her desires slowly calming down.
She looked down and saw the mess that was her pants and the state of her breasts. "Tsk." She clicked her tongue in
annoyance.
Deciding that she would change her clothes before heading back to the Arena, she took a deep breath and released the air from her lungs. She repeated this action a few times until, finally, she was able to think more calmly, away from the influence of her instincts:
'Anyway, I won't think about it too much. I'm rushing too much and letting my instincts and desires control my actions as usual. I'll be watching more. After all, he's Family and the only man an Elizabeth likes.'
Despite being an Elizabeth, she didn't even include herself in that thought process. After all, she didn't like him that way. Did she lust after him? Yes, but that was her instincts talking.
...
Soon, the rest time was over, and the two fighters would have to fight again.
Before Victor jumped toward the Arena, Leona grabbed him and spoke in his ear in a low voice.
"If you win in a completely overwhelming way, I will do 'it' with you in my Full Hybrid Form, tail and all."
Victor's eyes glowed violet, and he quickly jumped into the Arena.
"....." The girls inside the bubble of Silence Magic that Victor created to talk to everyone in secret, away from the super-sensitive ears of the wolves, were speechless when they heard what Leona said.
They looked at Leona and noticed that the Werewolf was very excited. This probably happened because her feelings of 'terror' diminished, and she noticed how her 'Husband' was very strong.
"Leona, I'll come too." Roberta suddenly stated. Her eyes were narrowed like a reptilian. It was obvious that this was a statement from Medusa as well.
"...Of course, but I will go first." She wasn't comfortable doing 'it' in her Hybrid Form with everyone watching. She preferred to do it alone.
'Degenerates... Bunch of degenerates!' Anna snorted inwardly.
"As stated earlier, Adam. I will only use my physical strength." Victor smiled in a sadistic way that made the old Werewolf shudder a little.
"..." Adam wondered why Victor seemed more motivated than usual.
For some reason, Victor's smile made him angrier. He decided he wasn't going to take it easy from the start.
