Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Raizel moved, going towards Grandpa Roland. He pressed his arm against Grandpa Roland's forehead. He would try reading his past. It's been so long since the last time he used this ability.

Raizel closed his eyes as he concentrated on what he was doing. Victoria just stayed silent on the side. She could tell that Raizel was trying to investigate Marceline's real identity. Was she a member of the Zhou Family? But it couldn't be the case since she's a white werewolf!

Beads of sweat were now forming on Raizel's forehead. His brows were drawn together as he continued to scan Grandpa Roland's memories. He was invading the old man's privacy but he had no choice.

After a few minutes of scanning, Raizel found his memory wherein Grandpa Roland went to the forest to search for Marceline and her parents. Raizel saw that Marceline was bitten by a werewolf.

But as he went along, he found out that even before that tragic night, Marceline was already portraying the qualities of a werewolf. She was getting sick whenever she touched silver. He saw how Grandpa Roland and her parents protected her from the things she was vulnerable to. It was very unusual for their child to be allergic to silver.

Raizel continued searching for a clue. Then he saw Grandpa Roland's memory where Marceline's mother was pregnant. She got pregnant and her unborn child was also a girl.

Raizel became confused as he didn't see any memories wherein Grandpa Roland and Marceline's parents were talking about her as an adopted child. The Zhou Family loved her so much as part of their family.

"Why? I can't see it… where did she come from?" Raizel mumbled to himself. Grandpa Roland didn't even see Marceline's turning into a wolf.

Something was very odd with Grandpa Roland's memory. Was it because the old man had no idea that his granddaughter had become a werewolf?

Raizel continued looking for memories of Marceline's birth. That was the time he found something suspicious. Grandpa Roland didn't see his daughter-in-law giving birth to Marceline.

His son and his daughter-in-law went somewhere when the time Marceline was born. Was there a mix-up during her birth?

Raizel opened his eyes, his body covered with sweat. He used too much power so he goy exhausted after reading Grandpa Roland's memory.

"How is it? Did you see the proof that Marceline Zhou is not a real member of the Zhou Family?" Victoria asked Raizel with intrigue.

Raizel's expression was indescribable. Victoria didn't know what he was thinking. He looked confused about something.

"Victoria, ask someone to investigate where Marceline Zhou was born," Raizel ordered her.

"Alright. You didn't get a clue?" She asked him again.

"His memory is very vague. I can't see the actual proof. But there are some clues. So assign someone who can check about her identity. White werewolves are powerful. We shouldn't let our guard down. Dominique Silvano must not know that there is another white wolf existing in this human world."

But little did they know, Cedric, Dominique's werewolf general, was already aware of the existence of the white wolf. His team was still searching for her.

"I know that. Don't worry. No one will know that Marceline Zhou is a werewolf," Victoria said, reassuring Raizel.

After discussing this with Victoria, Raizel moved his attention back to Grandpa Roland. He was now contemplating whether he should return Grandpa Roland to Marceline or not. If he refused to do it, Kira would surely intervene. He needed to talk to him personally.

"I will keep Roland Zhou," Raizel suddenly declared to Victoria which made her frown deeply.

"What do you mean you want to keep him?" She asked him suspiciously.

"I will transfer him to another location. We can't let him stay here." Raizel said, hiding the fact that he might bring him back to the Zhou Ancestral Mansion.

Victoria just nodded her head in agreement. This time she didn't question his decision as she also noticed the displeasure in his eyes when he learned that Marceline was a werewolf. There was no way Raizel would side with a werewolf!

When Victoria left the chamber, Raizel put Grandpa Roland in a wooden casket. This would serve as his container while he was being transferred to another location.

​ When the preparation was done, Raizel left earlier than his prior plan. He contacted Kira, telling him that he was on the way to the mansion.

But there was a change of plan. He decided to hide Grandpa Roland and confront Kira first. He would like to test Kira. What choice he would choose. Would he choose a werewolf rather than his best friend?

Kira was already waiting for Raizel at the Zhou Ancestral Mansion when the vampire general arrived. Marceline was standing next to Kira, making Raizel feel uncomfortable.

He was here to confront Kira about Marceline's identity. She had to give them privacy. Rude or not, Raizel asked Marceline to leave them.

"I want to talk to your husband alone. Can I do that?" Raizel asked her coldly.

Marceline was not used to Raizel's cold tone. He looked very serious right now. He was acting indifferent towards Marceline as compared to before.

"Where is my Grandpa?" Marceline didn't leave them just yet. She was surprised to know that Raizel Scarlet of Scarlet Heart Inc was a vampire.

"You said you would bring him with you," she added. Since he was acting coldly towards her, she might as well treat him as a stranger.

"I have to talk to Kira. I can't discuss this in front of you." Raizel was firm in his decision.

Kira could sense the high tension building up between the two. He glanced at Raizel, puzzled.

'What happened to Rai? Why is he acting this way? Is he in a bad mood?'

Thinking that his best friend was having a problem, Kira asked favor from Marceline.

"My Lady, can you please leave us alone? I need to talk to him."

Marceline crumpled her face. She thought Kira would allow her to stay. She wondered what is the relationship between the two men. Kira seemed too close to Raizel.

Meanwhile, Raizel smiled inwardly. He was satisfied because Kira sided with him when he asked Marceline to leave. 'I'm his best friend. He will not toss me away just because of her.'
