Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Kira finally released Victoria after hearing all her sentiments. He could understand why Victoria was getting angry. Both men knew where she was coming from as their clan suffered miserably ever since Kira disappeared.

The room was engulfed in deafening silence. The three could feel the awkward and heavy atmosphere surrounding them. Kira didn't know what to say anymore. He was now torn between his clan and his promise with Marceline.

"Now, Kira. You must choose… Marceline or us? Will you abandon us again just because of a werewolf?" Victoria repeated her question. She was rubbing her neck. She got bruised because of his tight grip.

Raizel just glanced at Kira, also waiting for his response. Either way, Kira must choose! This time he would never tolerate Kira with his wrong choice and decision.

But Kira didn't utter a word. He just clenched his fists, lowering his gaze. He was not looking at them.

"Wake up, Kira. Marceline is a werewolf. And now, Dominique found her. At this moment, she might be with the werewolves now. They are welcoming their legendary white wolf." Raizel paused for a moment, contemplating whether he should share his assumption with Kira or not.

Maybe this was the right time to pacify Kira, otherwise, he and Victoria would continue fighting each other. They should unite, not fight each other!

"I am afraid that Marceline might be Dominique's missing daughter… the werewolf princess…"

Both Kira and Victoria were utterly astounded when those words came out of Raizel's mouth.

"How could you say that?" Kira asked him, frowning deeply.

"Because of Marceline's age… The timeline when the werewolf princess was taken and the birth of Marceline's Zhou coincide together. What if she's their daughter?"

"But she's a white werewolf. Dominique is not a white werewolf." Kira reasoned out.

"How about her mother, Serena? She might be a descendant of the white werewolf," Raizel insisted. Victoria also nodded her head. No one among them had seen Serena's werewolf transformation. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

"I don't know…" Kira answered weakly. He felt like his energy was drained because of Raizel's assumption. There might be a possibility. But he was silently wishing and praying that it was not the case.

If Marceline turns out to be Dominique's and Selene's daughter, Kira must leave Marceline. He could no longer be with her or both of them would just get hurt.

But the question was… Could Kira really do that? Avoiding Marceline and leaving her alone?

'No. I must take her away from Dominique. He couldn't be trusted. Marceline should not get involved with him. Who knows, we are just overthinking.' Kira thought to himself.

"I know what to do. Just let me handle my own business," Kira said with finality. Without looking back, he left Raizel and Victoria. He had to find Dominique's place as soon as possible.

When Kira left, Victoria yanked Raizel's arm. "How long did you know that Kira was alive? Why did you hide it from me?" Victoria was enraged by the fact Raizel kept a secret from her. And it was very important.

"I'm sorry Victoria. I just met Kira a few weeks ago after visiting Roland Zhou in the hospital. He asked me not to tell anyone."

Victoria hit his chest several times, punching him. "How dare you lie to me, Raizel? You still chose Kira over me? We've been fighting the werewolves together for several years now. Am I not important to you? You always think first of your best friend, Kira, instead of me!" 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

This time, Victoria burst into tears. She felt betrayed when she learned that Raizel kept this thing from her.

"You are doing what you want for your personal gains. So don't blame me if I am keeping my movement from you as well. It's my decision to kill Marceline because she's a threat to our clan!"

Raizel was taken aback. This was the first time he saw Victoria cry like this out of frustration. She was truly affected by Kira. Victoria always maintained her brave front but she failed to do it today.

She was also shaken because lots of their comrades died tonight. She somehow blamed herself. The guilt she felt inside her heart bothered her so much. All she could do was cry.

Raizel didn't know how he would console her. On his instinct, he just grabbed her, pulling her into a warm hug. He stroked her hair while rubbing her back. Victoria just continued to cry on his chest, burying her face.

Raizel could only sigh deeply. "I'm sorry, Victoria. I'm sorry."

Raizel apologized to her. He could understand her. She was just doing this for the sake of their clan. He couldn't blame her. Furthermore, she had no idea that Kira was very protective of Marceline. He hid the fact that Kira was alive so he couldn't explain to her the reason why he told her not to touch Marceline and the Zhou Family.

After a few minutes of letting Victoria cry, Raizel broke the silence, speaking to her softly.

"We need Kira… you know that. Dominique is powerful. You witnessed that with your own eyes. You should reconcile with Kira. He was the only one who could kill Dominique." Raizel explained to Victoria.

Victoria finally calmed down. She stopped crying. "I think this is the right time. Let's use Stella to kill Dominique and Serena. We should make a move now. If your assumption is right, they must not find out that Marceline might be their missing daughter."

Victoria was thinking of ordering Beatrice to kill Dominique as soon as possible before they realized that she was just an impostor.

"Okay. Let's do that. This is a very risky move but we have to move." Raizel agreed to Victoria's suggestion.

"What are we going to do to Kira?" Victoria also consulted Raizel.

"Can you please hide his existence from our fellow vampires? He still needs time to redeem himself. Let's give him a chance to prove that he is still on our side." Raizel said in his pleading tone.

Victoria fell silent for a moment before nodding her head.
