Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Marceline brought Little Lowell outside as she could hear her twin brother and her best friend doing something intimately upstairs.

The two of them proceeded to the garden. Little Lowell hadn't regained his ability to talk yet and complete his sentence. But he could now communicate with her through the mind link.

'Mama, what are you thinking?' Little Lowell called her Mama.

Marceline just glanced at him. This hybrid boy was very sweet. How amazing it would be if he was her real son. But that was impossible.

"Lowell... Don't be afraid anymore. I will make this world safe for you. No vampires will attack a young cub like you." Marceline said, cupping Lowell's face.

The young boy smiled at her. No matter what she would say, Little Lowell would always believe her. He trusted her so much.

"For now... we are going back to the Kingdom of supernatural creatures," Marceline informed him.

'I'm coming with you, Mama. I don't want to get separated from you again...' Little Lowell softly mumbled through their mind link.

Marceline just nodded her head and grabbed the boy. She hugged him.

"Are you not going to miss Kira? Do you still hate him?" Marceline knew that Little Lowell didn't like vampires.

'He is my Dad. I don't hate him... but I'm just jealous of him whenever he is with you.' Little Lowell confessed.

Marceline giggled as soon as she heard that. She didn't expect to hear those words from him. So he didn't hate Kira... but he was just jealous of him.

'I'm jealous because I feel like you love him more than me...' the young boy lowered his gaze, playing with his fingers.

Marceline caressed his face and stroked his hair. "My love for both of you might be different. I see him as my husband... and you are my son. Don't be jealous of him. I love you both." Marceline tried to console the young boy.

Little Lowell just bobbed his head. Then a small smile appeared on his lips. "Let's get back inside. I think your Uncle Dylan is behaving well now."

Little Lowell and Marceline returned to the mansion. They would leave the house in a while. Dylan and she had to wear some disguise. Cedrick and his men should not know that the two of them would be returning to the Kingdom of Phantasia.

Until now, Cedric had no idea that Dylan was alive. He was already expecting that he would be betrothed to the werewolf princess!

Meanwhile, in Scarlet Heart Inc Headquarters, Kira showed up in front of his best friend, Raizel. Raizel was still upset with him for protecting Marceline and not killing Dominique when he got the chance.

"Why are you here?" Raizel asked Kira with  a deep frown on his face.

"I'm reclaiming my throne... as your Vampire King," Kira declared, surprising Raizel.

"Do you think you still have the right to be our King?" Raizel questioned Kira's qualifications. He sounded mad. He couldn't understand Kira anymore.

"Of course. I am still the strongest Vampire. I can challenge you and others for a duel. If I win... I can be your Vampire King again." Kira said confidently.

Raizel didn't know whether he should get mad or laugh. Kira was acting arrogant right now. He was still confident that he was the strongest among them.

"A King without support and trust from his fellow vampire will never become a real Vampire King!" Raizel retorted.

"That's why I need your help! I have to gain their trust back." Kira said once more. There was no hesitation in his eyes... only determination.

"But you betrayed our clan once... because of a werewolf. Are you going to commit the same mistake?" Raizel wanted to punch his stubborn friend. He could tell that he never learned his lesson since then.

"Rai... I never betrayed our clan. You know that! I just loved someone... Being a Vampire King... don't I have the right to fall in love?"

Raizel's expression darkened. Kira was trying to get his sympathy. And he hated it because it was somehow working. Kira was his only best friend. He couldn't abandon him no matter what.

"But you fell in love with the wrong woman... She's our enemy! Is history repeating again? You got involved with another werewolf." Raizel sounded like he was scolding Kira. But he was not as mad as before.

Kira moved closer to Raizel, holding his shoulders. "This time... I promise, no betrayal will happen. I will bring another peace among all creatures!"

Raizel shook his head. This was not what he and Victoria had planned. They wanted to annihilate the werewolf clan and punished them, making them suffer tenfold.

"We want them to disappear..." Raizel said, clenching his fists. This was their initial plan. But now, Kira was thinking of bringing peace among all creatures. "There will be peace once the traitor clan will disappear."

"I have done it once. Please believe me... I can do it. This time... I'm not alone." Kira was thinking about Marceline.

Raizel glanced at him with mixed emotions. He wanted to trust Kira but not the werewolf clan. They were the ones who schemed rebellion against Kira, the King of Phantasia.

"Let me think about it first..." Raizel removed Kira's hand that was holding his shoulder.

Kira knew where Raizel was coming from. He felt devastated when Kira disappeared, thinking he died. If Kira was in Raizel's place, he would also feel the same.

But now, he wanted to set aside his personal vendetta... for the sake of Marceline. He didn't want her to cry. He didn't want to hurt her feelings. If he had to fight Dominique, Marceline would be heartbroken. Dominique was still her father.

"Sigh. I understand, Rai. I will wait for your decision. Let me know... once you make up your mind." Kira turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" Raizel asked him. He didn't want to see him leave.

"Don't worry. I'm coming back. I will just see someone..."

Kira planned on going to Northleaf Timberland Forest. Marceline would go back to Kingdom Phantasia today. He wanted to see her as she passed through the portal gate.
