Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"Mate? What do you mean by that?"

Of all the words, he hated it the most! It reminded him of the bond between Selene and Dominique… a bond that made him look pathetic in front of those two.

He thought the love between Selene and him was so special and strong. Who would have thought that everything was just a lie?

He was deceived! He was betrayed! And he almost met his demise. He thought that was his end. But for some unknown reason, he woke up, alive and breathing!

The person who helped him, how he survived and ended up in the Zhou Mansion were still mysteries that he needed to find answers to.

Meanwhile, Marceline stopped what she was doing when she heard his query. She raised her head and looked straight into Kira's eyes.

"You are my mate… my soulmate. The one who is destined to be my other half. Can't you feel it? The strong bond between us?" Marceline explained as if she already knew the true meaning of mate bond.

Kira immediately shook his head, letting out a husky laugh. "Forgive me, my Lady. But I don't believe in your so-called MATE. And I hate it so much. Furthermore, I don't even believe in love anymore."

She gazed at him intently with an indescribable expression on her face. Kira couldn't figure out what she was thinking right now, realizing how useless his mind-reading ability was against her.

'Damn! Why can't I read this woman's thoughts? And why the hell is she bringing up this mate thing?'

Kira felt a little bit annoyed as he could associate the word 'Mate' with the werewolves. He heard that werewolves who were mates had telepathic bonds so they could read each other's thoughts. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Now he wondered if Selene's and Dominique's bond was unbreakable.

'But how come Dominique was able to bear it, offering his own mate to me just to deceive me? Fuck. I guess he is just truly a crazy jerk who is greedy for power!' Kira was cursing Dominique in his mind.

"I want to punch you. You just ruined the moment." Marceline said disappointedly before rolling over as she lay on the bed next to Kira.

Kira turned to her with his innocent look. He didn't mean to offend her but he couldn't stop himself from acting indifferent when talking about Mates. He was just reminded of the unpleasant memories he wanted to forget and bury in the past.

"Get out of my room," Marceline said coldly, turning on the opposite side. Her feelings were hurt when Kira didn't acknowledge the strong bond between them.

Kira was dumbfounded after hearing that. He started to regret what he said. Marceline was now upset with him.

"I guess I'm just gonna find a new mate since he doesn't want to acknowledge me," she murmured but Kira still heard her words making him frown deeply.

Then she closed her eyes, moving away while ignoring Kira's presence.

Kira just watched her back, contemplating whether to stay or leave the room. Deep inside, he was hesitant to leave her but she already told him to get out.

Taking a deep sigh, Kira got up from the bed, obeying Marceline's order. She clenched her fists when she heard his footsteps walking away followed by the closing sound of her door.

Just a few minutes after Kira left her, something happened to Marceline.

Crack! Crack!

Her bones began to deform, limbs contorting. Her flawless body was now covered with fur! A beautiful white fur!

This time, no ripping sound of clothes was heard as Marceline was already naked. Her amber eyes glowed in the dark. Sharp claws and teeth also started to grow.

Inside the room, the alluring lady was gone. But a beautiful creature reappeared! A giant white wolf!

The white wolf leaped forward, breaking her glass window. Using her full speed, she ran so fast, leaving the mansion and following the trail going to the Northleaf Timberland Forests.

Kira and Dylan who were downstairs heard the crashing sound of the glass window's breaking. They exchanged glances with one another before they both stood up to check what happened to Marceline's room.

Kira felt alarmed when he didn't see Marceline inside her room.

"What happened here? Where is your woman?" Dylan asked Kira exasperatedly. For reasons unknown, he felt something weird after getting inside her room. Her scent was unique yet familiar to him.

Kira didn't bother answering his question. "You stay here and don't go anywhere. I will find her myself. Go back downstairs."

Sensing the seriousness and urgency in Kira's tone, Dylan could only bob his head in obedience before leaving the room. He wondered what Kira was planning to do.

When Dylan was gone, Kira jumped from the second floor and started searching for Marceline. He asked Dylan to leave so that the young pup would not see him using his super strength and super speed.

As he tried to track her scent, Kira thought that there was something strange here. Where did Marceline go? Did she break the window herself? But her room was located on the second floor. Did she jump from that height?

Deep inside, he was so worried about her. He blamed himself for this. He thought Marceline got really mad at him and left the mansion in the middle of the night.

Then Kira recalled what Marceline had told her about her mysterious illness. She would often blackout and find herself waking up in the forest without wearing any clothes. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"Damn! What if she went to the forest? If those people are still there then she might encounter them!"

Kira felt like smashing his head with a stone. He didn't know what he would do once something bad happened to Marceline. He needed to find her as soon as possible.

"But how come her scent is drifting farther and farther from my current position? How can she run that fast? Strange!"

He cursed himself numerous times as he continued to follow her scent. He was silently wishing that Marceline was safe.
