Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

When Marceline passed out, Kira quickly caught her in his arms. He lifted her body, carrying her in a bridal style.

He didn't know why she suddenly lost consciousness. Deep down, he was very disappointed since she didn't even mention her name.

He gazed down as he watched the unconscious lady in his arms. "She is one strange lady," Kira mumbled, his lips curling up in a small smile.

Everything was just getting exciting. Too bad their fun conversation ended right away because she fainted.

'Are you sure that you are referring to 'fun conversation', not the kiss?' Kira's inner self had spoken again.

The kiss… it all started with a stolen kiss and they ended up exchanging a long deep passionate kiss. He felt weird. He didn't hate the idea of kissing her.

Subconsciously, his gaze landed on her soft kissable lips. He gulped hard as he felt the urge to kiss her again. Her rosy lips were like inviting him but he tried to control himself.

Kira shook his head trying to push that thought to the back of his mind. He decided to bring her back to the room where he first found her sleeping.

Kira put her down, laying her body on the bed in a comfortable position. He stayed there, just staring at Marceline while thinking hard.

"If she's under my mind control power then she will not recall the kiss. Should I erase her memory about our encounter in this room as well?"

Kira frowned at his own words. He knew that the best thing to do was to erase her memory but he was hesitating. Part of him didn't want this woman to forget his existence.

He already figured out that he was in the human world, not Kingdom Phantasia. Humans didn't know their existence except for the chosen ones.

Not only revealing his identity as a vampire but he also told her that he's the Vampire King. For this reason alone, Kira must erase her memory.

"Sigh. I guess I have no choice but to make you forget about me. Don't worry. I promise to return the favor of giving me your blood to satiate my hunger." Kira caressed the spot where he bit her.

After saying those words, Kira placed his palm over her head. A faint light illuminated coming out of his palm. He was in the process of erasing her memory.

Complicated emotions flashed through his eyes when he was done. He stroked her hair before retreating his hand.

He turned around, planning to leave. But even before he could take another step, Kira turned to look at her for one last time. He bent down, whispering something in her ear. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

"We will meet again for sure." Kira softly mumbled before leaving her room.

The next morning, Marceline woke up with a throbbing headache. She felt like her head was going to explode.

"Shit! It hurts…" she groaned in pain, massaging her temples. She tried to sit up, resting her back on the headboard of her bed.

She opened her eyes, looking around the room. She paused for a moment, her eyes thoroughly assessing her surroundings.

After a while, her perfectly shaped eyebrows were drawn together in a deep frown.

"Damn! Don't tell me… I black out again last night? I couldn't remember-" She hadn't finished her sentence yet when she hastily gazed down at her body.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was still wearing her clothes.

"Thank God, I'm still alive. I hope I didn't do anything weird last night when I blacked out," she muttered to herself.

A few seconds later, Marceline's eyes widened as she realized something. She gasped, covering her mouth. Then she quickly got up from the bed, leaving her room in a rush.

She ran to the next room just beside her room. Upon getting inside, she found out that her white room was empty. The steel chair and the broken handcuffs and rope were there but the handsome stranger she encountered last night was gone.

Marceline ground her teeth while clenching her fists. "Damn! He escaped! I blacked out and he successfully escaped!"

Marceline could recall everything~ the moment she woke up and saw the stranger on top of her. This only meant Kira failed to erase her memory. His power didn't work on her.

She could still vividly remember how she slapped him, pushed him off the bed, and hit his head with a lampshade.

She dragged him to this white room and restrained him using handcuffs and ropes.

Marceline slumped her body on the steel chair where Kira was tied down last night. She was still in disbelief.

"How can a man like him easily break free from these handcuffs? He even broke them," she said, wondering about everything that transpired in that room.

She tossed a look at the wall where Kira pinned her, trapping her with his body. That was the last memory she could remember before she blacked out.

After looking at his scarlet eyes, Marceline began acting strangely as if she had become a completely different person. She had forgotten the kiss and the things that happened after that. She had no recollection of that moment.

Marceline tugged her hair in annoyance. "Why did I have to blackout in the most crucial moment? What happened between us? Where did he go?"

Feeling annoyed to herself, Marceline stood up and proceeded to the CCTV control room. She installed some security cameras in her living room, in the hallway upstairs, and in different areas outside the mansion.

She wanted to see how Kira entered the house and where Kira went after she blacked out. She forgot to check the CCTV last night because she didn't leave his side until he regained consciousness.

Upon entering the control room, Marceline sat down and began reviewing the CCTV records of last night. She spent an hour inside the control room just watching everything.

"Oh my God… who is this man? What is he?" Those were the only words Marceline could utter after checking the CCTV footage several times. There was a look of utter shock and disbelief in her eyes.

Marceline came up with one realization after watching the videos. The man whom she encountered last night was no ordinary human. How could this happen?
