Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"What's going on here?" Marceline's voice resounded at the back.

Dominique reflexively stopped when he heard her voice. Kira and Serena also gazed in her direction, both feeling anxious. They didn't expect Marceline to witness that.

But deep inside, Serena felt relieved as Dominique controlled his temper because of Marceline's presence. She could tell a while ago that Dominique was on the verge of shifting into his wolf form to attack Kira.

Marceline continued to assess the situation. The three were all silent as they caught them in that kind of scene. It looked like Kira and Dominique were fighting and Serena was somehow involved in it.

Dominique clenched his fist, yanking his arm away from Kira's grasp. Then he turned to Marceline with complicated emotions on his face. He wanted to apologize for his inappropriate behavior but he couldn't lower his pride for Kira.

"This is just a misunderstanding between me and my wife. Mr. Alaric suddenly stepped forward to intervene," Dominique explained to Marceline softly.

"You were about to hit her so I intervened," Kira said coldly, his eyes burning with rage. He got so furious when he saw Dominique hurting Serena.

Because of his personal feelings, Kira had forgotten about his goal of keeping his identity a secret from them. He recklessly intervened, giving away his strength.

Meanwhile, Marceline frowned seeing Kira's reaction. She seldom saw him getting mad like this. She couldn't understand why Kira was being affected too much. Was it because of Serena?

Marceline had noticed that there was something different in the way Kira was looking at Serena.

'Why is he acting this way… as if Serena is someone important to him?' Marceline felt a little bit jealous.

Marceline just remained silent as she didn't know what to say. She just continued moving her gaze from Kira to Dominique and Serena.

"Marceline, please don't misunderstand. My husband was not hurting me. Mr. Alaric had misinterpreted it." Serena finally spoke up, covering up for Dominique.

Kira's expression darkened further when Serena defended Dominique despite the fact that he almost hit her a while ago. He heard them clearly– their arguments. And he was aware that Serena and Dominique were fighting because of him.

'She lied just to cover up Dominique's violent behavior,' Kira ground his teeth at that thought. 'Damn. I wanna beat him!' Kira continued glaring at Dominique.

"I'm sorry. I am apologizing on my husband's behalf," Marceline suddenly blurted out, slightly bowing her head in front of Dominique.

Marceline's apology was like a wake-up call for Kira. It reminded him that Marceline was there, watching his every action.

"No. You don't have to apologize to him…" Kira moved closer to Marceline but she stepped to the side, avoiding Kira.

Marceline gazed up, meeting his eyes. There was a gleam of anger and unhappiness in her emerald eyes as she stared at him intently.

"Let's go back. Give them privacy," Marceline simply said but her tone was so firm and cold. Her expression seemed to tell Kira to stay out of Serena's and Dominique's conflict. He was not supposed to get involved with their arguments.

Kira could only bob his head in obedience. He could feel that Marceline was upset and disappointed in him. But Kira didn't want to acknowledge that he was at fault here. He just did it to protect Serena. Kira was justifying his own action, convincing himself that he did nothing wrong.

However, Kira had never thought about Marceline's feelings. He failed to realize that he unintentionally hurt Marceline's feelings when he showed concern towards another woman.

Marceline politely said goodbye to Dominique and Kira as she went back to their table. Dylan and Lyca were there, looking after Little Lowell. Kira could only follow her behind… silently.

"Marceline, I–" Kira was not able to finish his words as Marceline cut him off immediately.

"Later, Kira. Let's talk later."

Kira could only sigh helplessly. He was still not at ease, leaving Serena and Dominique alone. He was worried that Dominique would lay a hand against Serena now that no one was around.

"Hey, Sis, Bro, where's my par– I mean, my relatives?" Dylan asked them right away when the two reached their table.

Kira glanced at Dylan with his bloodshot eyes. He didn't bother to hide his ugly mood from Dylan.

"Why don't you go and check on them? Who knows someone is already using violence there," Kira was not able to restrain himself from telling those words to Dylan. This made Marceline more upset.

On the other hand, Lyca and Dylan just exchanged a puzzled look at each other. They could tell that both Marceline and Kira were in a grouchy mood right now.

'Uh-oh, what happened to this couple?' Lyca bit her lower lip, motioning Dylan to check on Serena and Dominique.

In the end, Dylan stood up, searching for his parents. A few minutes later, he found them. Serena and Dominique were still standing in that corner.

"Mother, Father, is there something wrong? Why are you both here?" Dylan asked them inquisitively.

Serena and Dominique remained silent. It did not take long when Dominique's phone rang. It was a call coming from his Werewolf General, Cedric.

Dominique immediately answered the phone call. Serena and Dylan tried to listen to their conversation.

'Damn. I almost forgot. I have to warn my father. Cedric is a traitor. He tried to kill me.' Dylan thought to himself.

"Cedric, why are you calling me at this hour?" Dominique asked him coldly.

Just like Kira, he was furious and not in a good mood at this moment. The fact that the person he met tonight might be Kira Alaric, the Vampire King, bothered Dominique so much.

"My Alpha King, I have good news for you!" Cedric's voice sounded cheerful, making Dylan curious.

'What good news this traitor is talking about?' Dylan asked himself inwardly.

"Tell me. What is it?" Dominique plainly said, not a bit interested. His mind was preoccupied with something.

"My King! I've finally found her! Your daughter, the missing werewolf princess!"

Dominique, Serena, and Dylan were utterly astounded when they heard that.
