Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"Evelyn Zhou…"

Marceline didn't expect to hear that name. Of all people, she had never imagined that her kind-hearted, friendly, and approachable Aunt would be the person behind the attack.

Of course, she didn't doubt Kira. She believed his words. So if he said that Evelyn was the mastermind then she could guarantee that his words were trustworthy.

This incident only proved that her Aunt was a two-faced person. She hid her real intention and motive from Marceline very well. She thought her Aunt was always neutral.

Fortunately, she didn't trust her easily nor get close to her when Evelyn had the chance.

"Show me! I want to see it." Marceline demanded from Kira.

Just like what he did before, Kira showed her what he saw after reading the Zhou Family guard's mind.

Marceline felt like she was just watching an action movie and she's the main character. She saw how the guards talked about their plan of eliminating her and thought about the big amount of cash they would get once they succeeded.

She also saw how they abducted her after injecting her with sedatives in the parking lot of the hospital. While they were on their way, one guard stabbed her in her stomach numerous times. Soon after, they dropped her body on the river from the city bridge.

Marceline shivered at the things she witnessed. If she was just an ordinary human then she would have been dead by now. It seemed that being a werewolf had lots of advantages. She healed her own wound.

A few minutes later, Kira finished showing the important scene to Marceline. Marceline opened her eyes with complicated emotions on her face.

If her Aunt asked those men to kill her, she wondered if her Uncle also had something to do with this incident.

"He caused my parent's death eighteen years ago. I will not be surprised if my Uncle consented to this." Marceline shared her thoughts with Kira.

Kira just pulled Marceline into a tight hug once more. He got scared to death when he thought he was too late to save Marceline.

"My Lady, I'm really sorry for not telling you sooner about Stella's existence. Please, don't get mad at me anymore."

Marceline nodded her head. "Alright. I forgave you. Next time… don't hide those important things from me. Understand?"

"Yes, my Lady. I will keep that in mind." Kira tightened his grip on her body. "I will not leave your side again," Kira added as he failed to protect her because he left her for a minor reason– Getting jealous of Dylan.

"By the way, you don't have to worry about this incident. I already dealt with it. Let's just wait for tomorrow's outcome of the investigation. I will not let her escape from her crime." Kira's words were filled with conviction.

"What did you do to the three men?" Marceline asked him curiously, breaking the hug.

"I killed them," Kira responded truthfully.

Marceline was rendered speechless. She was surprised because this time Kira killed humans, not werewolves.

"I didn't kill them personally but I let them kill each other…" Kira paused for a moment, looking at her intently while holding her shoulders. "Are you mad at me? Are you afraid of me? Are you disappointed in me? Do you hate me… for killing them?" Kira wanted to know her stand about this.

But Marceline was unable to answer him in an instant. She was still assessing her feelings, wanting to make sure if she hated Kira's action or not.

"I had to do it. I was not able to control my rage. They hurt you. They harmed you! I will never forgive the people who will try to hurt you, even if they are just ordinary humans..."

Marceline's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She felt touched because of Kira's sincere feelings. He was so protective of her. And it felt so good knowing that someone cared so much about you, especially if that person was the one you loved.

"Thank you. I truly appreciate it. Though I'm against killing people… I'm not a saint either so I understand if you did it. If something like that happened to you, I mean to someone close to me… I might also react that way… hurting and killing them with my own hands…"

Kira smiled gleefully as he recalled how Marceline protected him when the werewolves ganged up against him. Though it was Stella who was conscious at that time, he knew that Marceline would also protect him with all her might. He found a perfect ally in her.

"I'm really glad that nothing bad happened to you." Kira reached out to caress her face.

When Kira said that, Marceline remembered someone– the person who saved her.

"Kira… a gorgeous vampire with metallic silver hair saved me from drowning!" Marceline blurted out suddenly, her eyes gleamed.

Kira, on the other hand, frowned instantly when he heard the word 'gorgeous vampire'.

'Is there another vampire who is more charming than me? Why did she have to say the word gorgeous?! Can't she just say a vampire saved her?!' Kira subconsciously pouted his lips with a dark expression on his face. He got jealous once again.

Oblivious that someone was already drinking lots of vinegar because of jealousy, Marceline continued talking about the vampire who saved her, praising him with her elated voice.

"At first, I thought it was you. But his scent and his hair were different from yours. His metallic silver hair was shining even if it was drenched in water. Though he didn't say a word, I could tell that he is a powerful vampire just like you."

Kira's frown deepened after seeing the bright smile on Marceline's face while describing the vampire. He suddenly felt some competition here.

Without saying a word, Kira lifted her chin, checking her neck whether she got a vampire's bite.

"From now on, stay away from any vampires, except me! They might attack you because of your werewolf scent!" Kira said sternly with both concern and jealousy in his voice.

'Why is he suddenly getting worked up?' Marceline thought to herself.
