Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

After contemplating for an hour, Kira had finally decided to meet Gisel. While Marceline was sound asleep, Kira left the mansion, going to Serafino's apartment.

Gisel and Serafino were having their argument and bickering the moment Kira arrived. But Gisel stopped talking after seeing Kira's face.

Her eyes went round. A hint of disbelief could be seen in her eyes. She darted her gaze back and forth between Kira and Serafino, still couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Kira Alaric… is that you?" Gisel asked him with a baffled expression on her face. Then she moved her gaze back to Serafino. "Is this person… Kira? The former Vampire King?"

p Serafino nodded his head as a response. Meanwhile, Kira smiled at Gisel and said, "Long time no see, Gisel. How have you been?"

Gisel squinted her eyes on him. She stood up and dashed in Kira's direction. After reaching his spot, she raised her hand to punch Kira on his face. But even before Gisel could hit Kira's face a hand already grabbed hers, thus stopping her.

"Hey?! What are you trying to do here?! You are not allowed to hurt my master!" Serafino tightened his grip on her wrist.

Gisel just ignored him. She yanked her hand away from Serafino's grasp. But she couldn't remove it.

"Let her go," Kira ordered Serafino, making him obey in an instant. Serafino gave Gisel a deathly glare before releasing her hand.

This time Gisel punched Kira on his chest. "How dare you?! You are alive all along?! Why did you disappear for a thousand years? Why didn't you show up to Selene? Why did you make her believe that you were dead?" Gisel bombarded Kira with so many questions.

Kira stayed silent while watching Gisel in puzzlement. He couldn't understand why she was getting angry at him. He was the one who got betrayed by her best friend.

"Why did you let Dominique change her? Selene had changed ever since you disappeared! She is no longer the Selene I know!"

"Stop it, Gisel! Why are you blaming my Master? It's not his fault! It's Selene's choice!" Serafino defended Kira.

"Serafino, can you leave us alone first? I will talk to her," Kira requested him.

Serafino could only sigh in defeat. Fulfilling his Vampire King's request, Serafino stepped out for a moment. He gave Kira and Gisel the privacy to talk to each other.

"What did you know a thousand years ago? You and Selene lied to me. Both of you hid the fact that she's a werewolf." Kira tried to stay calm while speaking to Gisel.

"She joined hands with Dominique. They tried to kill me… both of them. And… Selene is Dominique's mate!" Kira added, clenching his fists. His heart was still in pain whenever he would remember the memories of Selene's betrayal.

"No! She would never do that unless Dominique tricked her!" Gisel firmly said, making Kira frown.

"Selene didn't hide her real identity. It's just that she couldn't shift into her wolf form so she considered herself not a werewolf. And Dominique was her mate. WAS!!!" Gisel started to explain things to Kira.

"Dominique rejected her at first since she is a she-wolf who couldn't transform into a werewolf form. He severed their bond! So he was no longer her mate at the time she met you!"

Kira fell silent when he heard all that. He didn't know what to feel right now. Gisel just continued explaining the past situation to Kira.

"Believe it or not, Selene loved you! She loved you unconditionally even though you were not her mate. Kira, I knew how Selene suffered after Dominique rejected her. Then she met you. You redeemed her and you opened her heart again. She fell in love with you for real. It's true. She loved you for real!"

"Then why… why did she try to kill me?" Kira finally found his voice, asking her with so much interest and anticipation in his eyes.

"I don't know… I guess… Dominique did something to her. But you see… you were still alive. There was no way she would kill you. I know how much she loved you. She always talked about you and your futures."

Kira shook his head. These things didn't make sense. If Selene loved him then why did she marry Dominique. They even had children.

"Dominique found out about your relationship with Selene. I think this was the reason he used Selene against you. Dominique wanted to get Selene back, the mate he rejected, after finding out you were in love with his mate."

"So don't blame Selene, Kira. This is Dominique's scheme. Please Kira… help me bring the old Selene back!" Gisel held his shoulders and tugged his shirt while pleading.

"Talk to her, Kira. Find out the reason she did that to you. Selene might have a reason behind it. But one thing is for sure, she would never harm you because she loves you so much. I could attest to that!" Gisel sounded very serious. There was no way she was lying to Kira.

"Selene is here… I will help you, Kira. Meet her in private and confront her. I will deal with Dominique," Gisel added as she volunteered to help Kira.

"I intend to do that… but…" Kira paused for a moment, thinking about Marceline. He felt like he was committing a sin against Marceline.

He never told her that he met his first love, the woman who brought happiness and pain in his life.

Gisel's words were making things more complicated. Deep inside, part of Kira was hoping that Selene's betrayal was real so that he would no longer change his mind for Marceline's sake.

He didn't want to hurt Marceline's feelings but he couldn't stop his heart from rejoicing, thinking that Selene didn't betray him and she truly loved him. He was having conflicting thoughts right now. He was torn between Selene and Marceline.

'Damn! What should I do now?' Kira wanted to hit his head against the wall. He was having a hard time, making a decision.
