Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Triple W Headquarters… ]

After receiving the call from the vampire spy, Vladimir went to see Cedric to inform him about the most important intel that he heard today.

Meanwhile, Cedric had just returned to his office. He accompanied Dominique and Serena with their tour around the Golden City.

"How is your trip?" A she-wolf approached Cedric, massaging his back and shoulders when he leaned on his chair.

"Tiring… and the day is a little bit stressful," Cedric mumbled with his eyes closed. He massaged his temples. He was feeling uneasy since Dominique was here.

He was worried about Kira telling Dominique about his plan of taking over the throne. Aside from that, he didn't know how long it would take for Dominique to notice that Dylan had gone missing.

Fortunately, Dominique didn't mention anything about Dylan. It seemed that the Werewolf King wanted to maintain the secrecy of Dylan's journey to the human world.

"Do you want me to relieve your stress and make you feel better?" The she-wolf asked him seductively, grazing her lips on his earlobe. Her hands were now rubbing his chest as she leaned over him from behind.

But Cedric was not in the mood to play with her. Besides, he lost interest in making out with other she-wolves. The person he wanted was Marceline. He was still desiring her. He couldn't take her out of his mind.

"Just leave. I want to be alone," He firmly said.

The she-wolf was about to object but the door suddenly slid open and Vladimir emerged from it.

Vladimir motioned the she-wolf to leave as he had something important to tell Cedric. The she-wolf had no choice but to leave Cedric's office with her disappointed look.

"What's wrong?" Cedric asked Vladimir. "Have you prepared the ritual for the gatekeepers?"

Vladimir shook his head. "Not yet, Alpha. We have something more important to do than that."

Cedric's forehead creased when he heard that. "What do you mean?"

"I know where to find the werewolf princess! She's here in the Golden City!"

Cedric hastily stood up, looking at Vladimir with his baffled expression. "Pardon. What did you just say?" Cedric wanted to make sure if he heard him right.

With his sparkling eyes, Vladimir answered him. "The werewolf princess… they've found her. We need to move now! The vampires are also going after her!"

"Are you sure this information is reliable?" Cedric still couldn't believe it.

Vladimir bobbed his head to confirm it. "Yes. I got it from our Spy. He also told me the plan of the vampires. They are thinking of using the werewolf princess to kill Dominique Silvano, our Alpha King."

"Hmm, if that's true, then we only have two options. First, let the vampires do their plan. They will do us a favor by killing Dominique. Second, let's find the werewolf princess and take her back to her family. I will just ask for my reward… and that reward is marrying the werewolf princess so that I can become the next Werewolf King.

Marrying the princess would secure his position and become the next leader of the werewolves.

"So what's your plan?" Vladimir asked him expectantly. He was also waiting for Cedric's command for him to take action.

"Let's try to get her first. Princess Stella should be my bride. If we fail to get her first, then let the vampire do their plan of killing Dominique using his daughter." Cedric finally made up his mind.

Vladimir also agreed with his decision. At least, both options were favorable for them.

"Dispatch our elite team, Now! Bring my Beta with you. You have to deliver the princess to me. We will get a great reward from our King Alpha and Queen Luna." Cedric finally became lively and excited

"Okay, Alpha Cedric. Just leave everything to me. This time we will not fail you," Vladimir said, reassuring Cedric.

"Good. I will count on you, Vlad…"

After giving him his final command, Vladimir left Cedric's office to call the werewolf fighters– the strongest elite team that they had.

Their strategy was to follow the vampire's instructions. They knew the place where they would attack and take away the werewolf princess. They had to get her no matter what!

Meanwhile, Marceline and Kira had decided to visit Aunt Brianna in the Golden City's Memorial Park Cemetery. They stayed there until nighttime.

After staying for an hour, Kira and Marceline had decided to go back. While they were walking in the middle of the memorial park, both of them sensed that someone was following them.

Marceline stopped for a moment, grabbing Kira's hand. "How many of them?" Marceline asked Kira in a low voice.

"One… two… three… four," Kira counted the number of people secretly following them.

"Four? Are they assassins?" Marceline asked again.

"I don't think so. Something is not right. They've been following us this afternoon but they didn't take any action against us." Kira explained to Marceline.

"I couldn't sense any negative emotions from them. No ill-motives," Kira added.

"That's strange. Are they waiting for the right time to launch an attack? This place is a perfect spot for that. Should we take the first move?" Marceline simply checked her surroundings. She already discovered where they were hiding.

"Hmm, just say a word, My Lady. I will catch them for you," Kira mumbled, winking at her.

He suddenly got excited to hunt those men hiding in the dark.

Marceline could only smile at him helplessly. She could tell that Kira just wanted to fight those men tonight for his warm-up.

"Be careful, Ki. Go and get them all!" Marceline finally allowed Kira to catch those men.

"But bring them to me alive. Don't kill them," she reminded him.

Kira just held her chin, staring at her for a moment before nodding her head.

"Just give me five minutes… my Lady."

After uttering those words, Kira disappeared from her sight in a flash. And at exactly five minutes, Kira came back, cracking his knuckles.

"I'm done!"

Marceline turned around only to see Kira sitting leisurely at the back where four men lined up, kneeling in front of Kira.

"Who sent you here?" Kira's cold and frightening voice was heard while looking at those four men.
