After talking to Raizel, Kira went back to the hospital where Marceline was waiting for him. Meanwhile, Raizel returned to Scarlet Heart Organization Headquarters to prepare the transfer of Grandpa Roland. He would just wait for the sundown.
Raizel headed straight to the chamber. Grandpa Roland was now awake. He was struggling from his binds. He was going wild, wanting to attack someone and have a taste of blood.
Raizel could only shake his hand while watching Grandpa Roland's behavior. He truly became a bloodsucker with no consciousness or free will. His hunger was the one controlling him.
"Will he be alright? But I think my Kira has a plan. He can handle this kind of vampire. Besides, he is our King! He might have a solution for this."
Raizel walked closer to Grandpa Roland. The old man opened his mouth, trying to reach Raizel's neck. He could smell his blood, making him crave for more. However, the binds were so strong and durable. It couldn't be broken easily by a mere force or power.
"Calm down! I'm not here to hurt you. And I don't intend to give you my blood. Kira asked me not to."
Grandpa Roland groaned when Raizel covered his mouth with a cloth. This was a precautionary measure for Marceline's protection. He was thinking that Grandpa Roland might suddenly attack Marceline.

She had an angry look on her face. Raizel frowned upon seeing her mood. He wondered what happened to her. Before he could ask her, Victoria instantly closed their gaps. She clutched his shirt tightly just above his chest.
"Do you wanna fight me again?" Raizel calmly asked her, lifting an eyebrow.
"Why did you hide it from me?! Are you protecting a white wolf? When did you learn that Marceline Zhou had become a werewolf? How did it happen? Perhaps, Marceline was your secret mission you've mentioned before?!" Victoria spoke spontaneously, confronting Raizel.
Raizel didn't have any idea about what she was talking about. He held her hands, removing them from his shirt.
"What do you mean? Where did you get that absurd thing?!"
Victoria rolled her eyes. She didn't know if Raizel was just feigning ignorance or not. Was he pretending that he didn't know?
"I said Marceline Zhou is a werewolf! How long did you know that? Until when do you plan to hide it from me? Now, I understand why you kept telling me that we couldn't afford to offend her."
Raizel was dumbfounded when he finally absorbed what she was saying. Marceline Zhou? A werewolf?
"I have no idea. Are you sure about this?" Raizel was still doubtful.
"I saw it with my own eyes. I confronted her a while ago. We fought in the hospital. She showed her true nature to me! She is a werewolf!"
"I'm not lying, Rai! I will not make up a story when it comes to this." Victoria added, convincing Raizel to believe her.
Raizel's expression darkened as he thought about Kira. He wondered if Kira already knew about this or not.
'Is Marceline Zhou deceiving Kira again? Another werewolf got entangled with Kira. But what if Kira was aware of this. Does it mean he chose to hide it from me?' Raizel folded his hands into fists.
Whatever the case, Raizel was angry right now. He couldn't accept this. It seemed like history was about to repeat itself. He couldn't let Kira get close to a werewolf. Kira must not fall in love with another werewolf!
Their downfall had begun when Kira, their Vampire King, fell in love with a werewolf. Knowing that Marceline was a werewolf, Raizel could no longer let Kira be closed with her.
'A wife? They are just married on paper. Kira hasn't marked her yet.' Raizel thought to himself.
'I have to talk to Kira again and confront him…'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Victoria was puzzled as Raizel's mood suddenly changed. She could see that he was also unhappy about what he heard from her. She was now convinced that Raizel had no idea that Marceline Zhou was a werewolf.
'But why? What is the reason why Raizel warned me not to go against Marceline Zhou? Something doesn't coincide here.' Victoria continued to observe Raizel's behavior.
It did not take long when they met each other's gaze. Raizel remembered that Kira might punish Victoria for what she had done to Roland Zhou. He would do it for Marceline.
'I can't let him touch Victoria if what he will do is for a werewolf! Why should I let him punish a vampire just because of a werewolf?'
Raizel was lost in his thoughts when Victoria spoke up once again, snapping him back to the present.
"What do you think is the reason that Marceline Zhou had become a werewolf? Do you think she is not a member of the Zhou Family? Is she adopted and came from a family of werewolves?"
Raizel remained silent, trying to figure out the answer to that question.
"Maybe she was bitten and she was turned into a werewolf," Raizel answered. It was his assumption. But Victoria disregarded that idea right away.
"That's not possible. No one could turn a human being into a white werewolf! White werewolves are legendary beings. They are the rarest kind of werewolves that already disappeared from our kingdom a long time ago. I don't want to admit it but Marceline is not an ordinary werewolf. She belongs to the strongest kind of werewolf!"
There was a glint in Raizel's eyes when he heard those words from Victoria. She had a point. But he was truly surprised about this revelation. Marceline was a white werewolf? She was not turned! But she came from a family of werewolves! This means… she's not a true member of the Zhou Family.
'What a mystery?! I have to find out the truth.' Raizel glanced at Grandpa Roland. What if this old man knew something about Marceline's real identity and her origin!
