Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Kira and Serena met each other's gaze. Both of them had a stunned look on their faces. Between them, it was Serena who was more surprised to see Kira. Aside from her surprised expression, disbelief could be seen in her emerald eyes.

"Ki… Kira?" Serena mumbled his name which was almost a whisper. Her eyes went round, still couldn't believe what she was seeing.

She blinked her eyes, staring at Kira with her scrutinizing gaze. Then her forehead creased as she wasn't sure if he was the Kira they knew.

His stunned expression was long gone. It became unreadable. 'He looks like Kira Alaric… the former Vampire King.' Serena's heart started to race when she thought about him. But there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Kira pretended not to know her. He couldn't blow his cover just because of Selene who was known as Serena. He tried his best to calm himself though deep inside his heart was filled with conflicting emotions. His heart was so heavy right now.

"Miss, do you know me?" Kira asked her, secretly clenching his fists. His expression was calm and neutral.

Serena was rendered speechless once again as she continued to assess Kira from top to bottom. She felt something odd. She could feel some familiarity with him but at the same time, he looked like a stranger to her.

'His scent… he smells like a human, not a vampire. His aura… is different too. I can't figure him out. Maybe, he is just someone who looks like Kira.' Serena's heart finally calmed down and it began to beat normally.

Serena shook her head as she was now able to utter some words. "You just look like someone I know."

Kira's eyes gleamed but he remained expressionless. 'So… she still remembers me. I wonder if she hasn't forgotten me yet. But I don't want to keep my hopes up. I witnessed how happy she was with Dominique.'

Kira just bobbed his head, giving her a fake smile. "Every woman I meet is always telling me that." He chuckled lightly after saying those words. He sounded like joking.

Serena was taken aback because of his shamelessness. She raised her eyebrow with an amused look on her face.

'Well. I think he is not Kira. Kira would never talk to me like this.' Serena thought inwardly, feeling relieved.

Serena just smiled awkwardly. She didn't know what she should say next. Besides, she was worried that Kira would think that she was hitting on him just because she said he looked like someone she knew.

Meanwhile, Kira saw in his peripheral vision that Serena's bodyguards were now approaching them.

'I have to leave now. The other bodyguards look familiar. They might recognize my face as well. It's already enough that only one person could see my face… and it happened to be her… Selene.'

"Miss, again… I'm sorry for bumping into you. I hope you are just fine. I was in a hurry. I have to go now," Kira explained to her.

"It's alright. I'm just fine. Sure…"

Without looking back, Kira left Serena on her spot as he proceeded to the exit gate of the mall.

Serena had complicated emotions on her face as she watched Kira's back. She couldn't help but recall her encounter with Kira.

"There is no way he is Kira. He was gone and he would never come back. That man didn't even know me. Should I tell Dominique about it? Nah…I think it is best for us not to talk about Kira." Serena mumbled before turning around to find Vladimir. She was already bored shopping and roaming around the mall.

She wanted to go to another place and look for Dylan and her missing daughter. She wondered if Dylan was still in this region.

Meanwhile, in the parking area, a loud noise was heard as the alarm of Kira's car resounded. Kira kicked his car so hard, triggering the alarm. The tire of his car got destroyed with just one kick from Kira.

Kira leaned on his car trunk while clutching his chest. All the negative emotions he tried to suppress a while ago suddenly resurfaced.

The moment he got closer to Serena, he had the urge to take her away from that place, and imprison her. He wanted to ask her everything.

Was she really forced to attack him a thousand years ago? Was she the one who protected him from getting killed? Was she the one who sent him to the Zhou Family?

But something didn't add up the moment he observed Serena's reaction upon seeing him. She looked surprised when she saw him.

Did it mean Selene had no idea that he was alive all these years? If she didn't know then it only meant Selene was not the person who saved him before. Was it the Moon Goddess or a person from the Zhou Family?

Fortunately, Kira was able to control his emotions. He acted accordingly, without blowing out his cover. Dominique and the other werewolves should not learn that he was still alive.

Kira tugged his hair tightly. His head ached just thinking about those possibilities. Did Selene truly betray him?

'I didn't see any hint of happiness on her face when she saw me a while ago. Instead, I saw fear in her eyes…'

Kira clutched his chest. He felt like something heavy was squeezing his heart. He started to feel suffocated. He had to leave there as soon as possible otherwise, he could no longer stop himself from confronting his ex-lover.

Kira was about to leave when he received a message from Xyon.

[ Boss Ki! Go and see Big Boss Marceline! I heard that something happened in the hospital. Natasha attacked her and tried to stab her. ]

Kira's eyes widened upon reading Xyon's message. Without further ado, Kira left the parking lot, just running with his feet as he could no longer use his car. He was in a hurry to meet Marceline, hoping that she was just fine.

Kira's action caught the attention of someone. It was Gisel who also came to that mall to follow Serena.

'Is that Kira? The Vampire King… he is alive?!'
