Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Dylan and Lyca didn't notice that Kira and Marceline disappeared for half an hour. Dylan chose to drink at the bar counter while Lyca mingled with other bachelors. They danced cheerfully, swaying with the music.

Dylan could only watch her from the corner. He was trying his best not to get involved and became a party pooper even though he didn't like that men were surrounding Lyca on the dance floor.

Dylan was not moving his gaze away from Lyca. He was making sure that no men would take advantage of her. If he saw something inappropriate, he would not hesitate to make a move.

But just like Lyca, Dylan also caught the attention of the single ladies inside the club. Some tried to approach him, joining him and sitting next to him at the bar counter. They initiated a conversation with him.

Lyca, who was busy dancing in the middle of the club, suddenly turned in Dylan's direction only to see him talking to other women. Dylan had a friendly vibe on him and he looked so cheerful while talking to the ladies.

This scene made Lyca's eyebrows furrow in a deep frown. She also pouted her lips while looking daggers at Dylan, especially the three ladies who were trying to seduce him.

The ladies didn't hide their admiration towards Dylan. They were openly flirting with him using their charms. However, Dylan only had his eyes for Lyca. He would never be mesmerized by other women, except his human mate, Lyca!

But Dylan didn't want to look rude to the ladies so he didn't send them away. Instead, he pretended to enjoy their company when he caught Lyca looking at them.

'So this is the meaning of Marceline's words. She told me to test Lyca. Is she trying to tell me to make Lyca jealous?' Dylan's lips curled up in a mischievous smile. It seemed that Marceline was helping him tonight.

With that thought in mind, Dylan continued entertaining the three ladies.

"Hello Handsome, may we know your name? I'm Megan. My parents owned the Bee Car Company." The blonde woman with curly hair spoke up with her flirtatious smile.

"I'm Dylan… I want to be mysterious so I will not disclose my family name," Dylan responded, winking at her.

"I'm Jennifer."

"I'm Carla."

The other two ladies also introduced themselves to Dylan.

"Are you alone?" Carla asked him expectantly. Dylan hadn't answered her question yet when Jennifer also asked him another question.

"Are you single? Don't you have a girlfriend?" Jennifer boldly asked him.

Dylan took a gulp of his beer before answering them. "I came here with my friends. But we got separated so now I'm alone." He paused for a moment, tossing a look at Lyca. "And yes I'm still single because the woman I like hasn't accepted my feelings yet."

The three ladies felt like they hit a jackpot tonight after hearing that. They were so happy knowing Dylan was still single. Of course, they wanted to catch his attention. Who knows he might like one of them? That's what they were thinking.

"Oh, we feel bad to hear that. Is she stupid? If I were her, I would answer you with a yes, making you my boyfriend!" Megan replied. She sounded like she was ridiculing Lyca. For her, refusing and rejecting Dylan was a dumb act.

The two ladies also agreed with Megan's statements. They also felt the same way. Dylan was a great deal. He was so handsome and charming. He was a gentleman too.

Dylan just let out a husky laugh because of their response. Little did he know, his laughter and his cheerful expression while talking to them annoyed Lyca further. Her frown deepened and her face turned ugly and bitter.

"I want to rip that smile off his face," Lyca murmured to herself with her gritted teeth. She stomped her feet and turned around as she avoided looking at them.

Dylan continued his conversation with the three ladies. They clinked their glasses for bottoms up and they drank their respective drinks.

Lyca couldn't stop herself from stealing glances at Dylan from time to time. She could see that the three ladies continued laughing and giggling in front of Dylan. She suddenly got curious about what they were talking about.

When she could no longer hold her curiosity, Lyca had decided to stop dancing and went to the bar counter to have her drinks as well.

Lyca chose to sit just a few meters away from Dylan. She was eavesdropping on their conversation. She noticed that one of the ladies was becoming so touchy.

Megan was holding and squeezing Dylan's arms and asked him, "Are you working out? How do you maintain your great physique?" Megan sounded very sweet, looking at Dylan with her flirtatious eyes.

"Can you tell me what gym so that I can join you next time?" she added, staring at Dylan meaningfully.

"Hmm, just a healthy diet and exercise," Dylan answered. His smile broadened when he saw Lyca sitting at the bar counter. "I don't usually go to the gym. I'm jogging in a park near my apartment."

"Ow. That's nice. Can we have your number? Who knows we can visit that park as well. We will invite you for a coffee." Carla also expressed her interest in Dylan.

Dylan smiled awkwardly while scratching his face. He was hesitant to give them his number. Besides, he had no plan of meeting them outside. He had no time for that as he would be busy courting Lyca and winning her heart.

"Please handsome, give us your number," Jennifer said with her pleading look.

Lyca, who was listening to their conversation sneered before drinking her glass of beer in three gulps. She was holding herself from butting in and interrupting those ladies.

'They are such a nuisance already. Can't he just send them away?' Lyca said, gripping her glass tightly. Her expression could no longer be painted. She was annoyed and irritated. She hated to see Dylan entertaining these ladies.

"Dylan, let's dance!" Megan stood up, grabbing Dylan's hand. Lyca, who was secretly watching them, arched her eyebrow.

Her expression also darkened when Dylan allowed Megan to pull him towards the dance floor.

"He is such a player! He said he was serious about me. But here he is dancing with another woman!"

Lyca didn't want to admit it but she was already getting jealous. She didn't like to see Dylan getting closer with other women.

The memory of their first meeting popped up in her mind. She and Dylan got intimate right away during their first meeting. She wondered if he would do it again with Megan.

Just thinking about Dylan making out with another woman brought a raging fury in her heart. Subconsciously, she continued drinking beer until she reached her limit.

'I want to beat him!' Lyca was already mad.

Several minutes had passed and Lyca became drunk. But she was still thinking about Dylan and the woman who was dancing with him.

In her drunken state, Lyca stood up and traced her steps towards the dance floor where Dylan was still dancing with another woman. Before she realized it, her feet already brought her to Dylan.

Dylan was surprised when Lyca suddenly yanked his arms, pulling him towards her.

"Hey, handsome! It's now your turn to dance with me. You've been dancing with her for several minutes now!" Lyca complained to him, putting on her pitiful face.

Dylan was not able to utter some words as he was caught off guard by Lyca's action. He blinked his eyes several times, just looking at Lyca amusingly.

Her cheeks were already red, a sign of her drunkenness. Dylan sighed deeply, scolding himself inwardly as he failed to notice that Lyca had already drank too much.

Megan wanted to push Lyca away from Dylan but he stopped her. "She's the woman I like."

His words made Megan speechless. She couldn't believe that Dylan would now throw her away since the woman he liked already approached him.

"I'm sorry," Dylan apologized to Megan. He felt guilty for using them to make Lyca jealous.

"Hey, stop apologizing! You don't have to. She is not your girlfriend!" Lyca scolded Dylan as she cupped his face. She just wanted Dylan to look at her.

"Stop looking at her. Just look at me."

This time, Dylan held her waist, pulling her closer to his body. There was a subtle smile on his charming face. His smile mesmerized Lyca.

"You are so gorgeous…"

"Yeah, I know." Dylan let out a husky laugh. Lyca was acting so cute as she was drunk. "I'm more gorgeous than Enrique… So why not choose me over him?" he added.

At this moment, Lyca just nodded her head in agreement and said, "I will… but stop flirting with other women! Or else… I'm gonna beat you!"

Lyca's words brought joy to Dylan's heart. Though he knew that Lyca was just saying this because she was drunk, he still felt happy.
