That night, Ethan asked the three girls to sleep together in the same room, while he stood guard beside them.
A Vampire's strength increased during the night, so there was a possibility that Godfrey would return for a night visit, once he was at the peak of his strength.
Joanne and Princess Ramona couldn't sleep because the two of them were feeling anxious.
Hecate, however, slept like a baby.
She wasn't the least bit worried that Godfrey would attack them at night.
Although he might be their enemy, he was known as a Demigod that always kept his word.
If he said that he would return before sunset the next day, he would return at that time without fail.
Also, even if she was asleep, her senses were at their highest state.
At the smallest sign of trouble, she would immediately wake up and be ready to fight.
The hours passed in silence, but around three o'clock, Hecate slowly opened her eyes because she sensed something that was coming from the young lady, who was sleeping beside her.
Joanne seemed to be dreaming about something.
If it was just an ordinary dream, she wouldn't be too concerned, but something didn't feel right.
The young lady started to pant for breath, and Hecate could see the beads of sweat glistening on Joanne's forehead.
"No… I don't want to… stop," Joanne said as she squirmed on the bed. "I'm scared… I'm not ready for this…"
Then it happened.
Right in front of Hecate, two small horns grew out of Joanne's head, making her eyes widen in shock.
She hastily propped her friend from the bed, holding her close to her.
To her surprise, Princess Ramona and Ethan, were both sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.
They weren't even reacting to Joanne's gasps and whimpers, as her body slowly transformed into something that Hecate was seeing for the first time in her life.
Bat-like wings grew out of Joanne's back, tearing the nightgown that she was wearing.
A moment later, a spade-like tail swayed from her behind, making her body shudder.
Slowly, but surely, Joanne opened her eyes.
Her beautiful blue eyes that looked similar to a clear sky, were nowhere to be seen.
A pair of beautiful and charming purple eyes met Hecate's gaze.
"H-Hecate?" Joanne asked in a daze, as her eyes glowed faintly with power.
"It's me," Hecate replied. "Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere?"
Joanne, who seemed to be in a trance, said something.
"He's coming," Joanne said softly. "Run."
After saying these words, Ethan, who had been sleeping earlier, opened his eyes and summoned his Trident. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"So much for coming back at sunset," Ethan said coldly as a lightning bolt shot out of his trident, targeting the window of the room.
The sound of a wall being blasted apart reverberated in the quiet night.
"My apologies. Your sister's charm is simply too much. Even if I try to resist it, I am unable to hold myself back."
Godfrey appeared outside the window, hovering in the air.
"It seems that she has awakened," Godfrey commented. "The poor thing, she must be very hungry right now. Fortunately, I am here. I can solve this problem without fail."
"Go to hell," Ethan said coldly as he flew towards the Vampire Lord and engaged him in combat.
Loud explosions spread in the quiet night as the Tidebringer fought against the Demigod, whose power was still a mystery to him.
Princess Ramona who had been sleeping peacefully was jolted awake after Ethan blasted the wall of her room open.
But, just as she was about to help Ethan, Joanne suddenly wrapped her hands around the Princess' neck, preventing her from getting off the bed.
"Ramona, I love you," Joanne said as she kissed the Princess' right cheek.
"I love you, too, but we need to help your brother." Princess Ramona, who was looking at the battle in the distance, failed to notice the changes in her best friend's appearance.
But, a soft, delicate hand touched her right cheek, which caused the Princess to turn to look at her best friend.
"J-Joanne?!" Princess Ramona, who finally saw the changes to her best friend's body, gasped in shock.
Joannes' nightdress was barely clinging to her body, as she looked at her best friend with a smile.
The tail coming out of her backside slightly waved from left to right, as he pushed the Princess on the bed, pinning her down.
"N-Now is not the time for this, Joanne," Princess Ramona, who could tell that something was wrong with her best friend, said anxiously. "We need to help your brother fight that monster."
"He's not my brother," Joanne replied before planting a kiss on the Princess' left cheek. "You're so cute, Ramona. I love you."
"What's gotten into you?" Princess Ramona was now very tempted to push Joanne away, but it only took a few seconds for her to realize that the younger girl was stronger than her. "Let me go… I need to…"
The Princess was unable to finish whatever she was going to say next because she felt as if her strength was leaving her body.
"You're so cute, Ramona," Joanne said softly as she kissed her best friend's cheek a third time.
Hecate, who was watching this scene, didn't know if she should laugh or shake her head helplessly because Joanne was clearly not in the right state of mind.
'She's awakened her succubus blood,' Hecate thought. 'Godfrey's appearance must have forced her blood to awaken due to the danger he presented.'
Vampires were Undead, while Succubi were Demons.
At times they were allies, but more often than not, they were enemies.
Ethan also had Demon Blood in his veins, but his other bloodlines were able to suppress it.
Joanne, on the other hand, had the bloodline of Humans from her father's side of the family.
Because of this, she was more susceptible to the Demon bloodline in her veins, which led to her awakening.
Suddenly, something came flying and hit the wall the head of the bed rested against, and smashed through it.
"Well then, now that the Third Wheel is down for the count, how about you girls and I have a little fun?" Godfrey asked as he entered the room with a devilish smile on his face. "How about I start with you first? That Succubus Blood is sublime, but yours is Divine. I will enjoy you first, and have those two girls for dessert. How does that sound, hmm?"
"How about you talk to my fist first?" Hecate asked back as her Mithril Gauntlets were covered in golden flames, matching the color of her eyes. She refused to let the Vampire Lord take away something precious to her, which she had already promised to another.
