Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"Let. Her. Go!"

The two men glanced at Dylan who was charging in their direction. The two men broke apart, one stepped to the left while the other turned to his right to avoid Dylan. They moved faster than a normal human being.

'Fuck! They are bloodsuckers!' Dylan thought to himself.

Their eyes were shining in the dark with the shade of red. They showed their fangs and sharp nails as a defensive stance. They had no plan of fighting Dylan. Their task was to bring Lyca with them. So instead of fighting Dylan, the two prepared to escape.

Dylan went after the man who was holding Lyca but the man's comrade stopped him. With his vampiric speed, he grabbed Dylan's shoulder, tossing him to the floor.

Thud!

Dylan's back hit the floor. The impact created a small crater around him. But Dylan didn't feel any pain as his mind was only focused on saving Lyca.

With his rage surging up inside him, Dylan finally shifted into his wolf form. The cracking sound of his bone along with his growl reverberated in the entire house.

The vampire who was trying to hold him up became frightened. Dylan was bigger than those werewolf fighters. His appearance exhibited valor and power.

Dylan was in his killing mode since his mate was in danger. He would not hesitate to kill anyone who would try to touch and hurt Lyca.

Sensing the danger coming his way, the vampire stepped back, his eyes roaming around as he searched for an escape route. He believed that his comrade had already gone far, successfully leaving the area.

Dylan just went berserk when he could no longer smell Lyca's scent!

'They're gone!' His eyes were set ablaze in a raging furry.

Dylan chased after the vampire who just destroyed the wall of the house for his escape. He didn't care if someone would see him in his wolf form now. All he could think of was to save Lyca by capturing this vampire.

The two creatures left Lyca's apartment, as the vampire ran for his life while being chased off by Dylan.

Meanwhile, Marceline went to follow the vampire who took Lyca. Fortunately, the vampire also chose a path wherein no ordinary humans could see them.

Marceline transformed into her werewolf form in order to catch up with that vampire. Since she was still using the perfume given by Aunt Brianna, no one could smell her werewolf scent.

The vampire was oblivious of the fact that a certain giant white wolf was already on his tail. He stopped in an abandoned apartment on the outskirts of the Golden City.

The vampire put the unconscious Lyca on the sofa as he called someone.

"Lady Beatrice… Mission accomplished. I brought her to this place. But something went wrong… we encountered a werewolf. I got separated from Julius!" The vampire informed the Mastermind. It was none other than Beatrice, the impostor… and Dylan's vampire slave.

"That werewolf might be the werewolf prince!" Beatrice mumbled anxiously from the other line.

"What should I do to her?" The vampire asked her, glancing at Lyca.

Beatrice fell silent for a moment. She just wanted to separate Lyca and Dylan. She didn't want to kill her. She knew that Dylan would never forgive her once she killed Lyca. But she still took her.

A while ago, the two vampires told her that Dylan was not around and Lyca just met her friend so she gave her signal to kidnap her. But who would have thought Dylan would catch them taking Lyca? This would complicate things more.

"Just let her sleep. I'm going there. Go and search for Julius. I guess he is fighting Dylan right now. He will be in danger. Dylan might kill him."

The vampire immediately followed Beatrice's order. He had to help his comrade. Without further ado, the vampire left the abandoned house.

Marceline was just hiding from the corner when she saw the vampire leaving the house. With her super sense of hearing, she heard their conversation. Stella and Marceline felt relieved when the vampire did nothing to Lyca.

They could smell Lyca's scent inside the house so she didn't follow the vampire. She just went inside to see Lyca. Her best friend was lying unconscious on the sofa.

'She is safe. No injury. She is just sleeping. The vampire used a sedative.' Stella informed Marceline after she caught a whiff of sedative on Lyca's neck. She was injected on that spot.

'Ok! Good to know. Let's wait and meet that woman, Beatrice. I wonder why a vampire is suddenly targeting Lyca. Is it because of Dylan?' Marceline was communicating with Stella through their mind link.

'I should transform back to my human form for me to talk to her properly. She might attack once she sees me in this wolf form.' Marceline added.

Stella consented to her request. She trusted Marceline. She knew she had a plan. And she also understood why Marceline wanted to avoid fighting a vampire. It was because of Kira.

A few seconds later, Marceline shifted back into her human form. She was now standing naked in the middle of the house. While waiting, she decided to search for clothes to wear.

Just when she finished putting on some clothes, someone entered the old house. Beatrice finally arrived. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Marceline standing next to Lyca.

'Why is she here? How did she find this place?' Beatrice asked herself, puzzled.

"Who are you? Why did you bring my friend here?" Marceline asked Beatrice directly.

Beatrice didn't answer yet as she continued assessing Marceline from top to bottom. She was trying to figure out how Marceline found this place.

It didn't make sense at all. This place was far away. If she noticed that Lyca was taken away then how did she find out and was able to come to this place in just a short period of time?

Even if she drove a car, she wouldn't be here if estimating the travel time from the city going to this area.

'This woman… is she a human or not?' Beatrice pondered to herself.

"I'm Stella… and you are?" Beatrice used Stella's name as she introduced herself to Marceline.

Marceline frowned upon hearing that. 'Stella… you both have the same name.'

'Eh? But we heard it a while ago! The vampire called her Lady Beatrice, not Stella.' Stella reasoned out with her.

Marceline just giggled inwardly. 'I know. I am just teasing you. Same name or not, we are here to interrogate her and find out her motive.'

"Miss Stella, I'm Marceline, Lyca's friend. A stranger took her away in her apartment so I followed him. Was it you who asked that man to kidnap my friend?"

Beatrice was taken aback by Marceline's behavior. She was not afraid or anxious. She was speaking calmly. Beatrice couldn't figure her out.

Someone should already panic or call someone for help, but this woman stayed there, questioning her directly.

'She must have witnessed that the stranger who took her best friend is not an ordinary human. But why is it that she doesn't feel frightened at all?' Beatrice kept wondering about Marceline.
