Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

When Marceline left, Kira faced Raizel. He wondered why his best friend was acting strangely today.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Kira asked him, eyeing Raizel curiously. "Why didn't you bring Marceline's Grandpa?"

"Because I have a reason. I need an answer from you first," Raizel responded with a serious expression on his face.

"Do you know that Marceline is a werewolf?" Raizel didn't go around the bush as he questioned Kira directly.

Kira was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that Raizel would be able to find out. How did he know that?

Raizel's face darkened. Though Kira didn't confirm it yet, his expression alone was enough to tell Raizel that he was aware of Marceline's werewolf nature.

"So you knew. But why did you hide it from me?" Raizel didn't hide his unhappiness because of Kira's actions.

"Because I knew that you would react like this. It's best not to tell you. You have biases towards werewolves. I don't want you to hate Marceline just because she was turned into a werewolf. She hated werewolves too. It's not her fault that she'd become one." Kira was explaining the situation to Raizel.

"Don't tell me… you are okay with this? You marry a werewolf. You cared so much about her. Are you not afraid that history will repeat itself? What if later on, Marceline will also betray you just like Selene?" Raizel reasoned out with him.

Kira frowned when Selene was mentioned. Gisel said Selene didn't betray him. And now, Raizel was comparing Marceline to Selene.

"Marceline will never betray me. She is different from Selene. Furthermore, Selene didn't betray. She was left with no choice because of Dominique's scheme." Kira defended both women.

Raizel and Kira began arguing once again.

"I'm your best friend. I am just thinking the best thing for you. You can't fall in love with a werewolf. Just choose human and vampire, but not a werewolf! Stay away from them! I'm requesting you this as your best friend. This is for your sake!" Raizel held Kira's shoulders tightly.

"You are overthinking, Rai. Marceline is not a werewolf. She was once a human. She just became a werewolf after she got bitten by one." Kira hated it when Raizel was telling him what to do about his relationship with Marceline. This was his business, not Raizel's!

"Kira, listen to me. You are wrong about that. Marceline is not a human. She is a white werewolf! Haven't you realized it yet? By the time Marceline was bitten, white werewolves were already gone. Even if a white werewolf bit her, she couldn't become a white wolf."

Raizel paused for a moment before he continued. "I guess you have seen her wolf form already. The only explanation for this is that… Marceline comes from the family of werewolves! She's not a human!"

Kira was rendered speechless when he heard that. Raizel's words made sense. It was truly absurd that Marceline was a human who became a white werewolf.

'No… She can't be…' Kira screamed in his mind. Why does fate always play with him? He got entangled with another werewolf? All this time, he was consoling himself that Marceline was a human.

"You might be mistaken…" Kira meekly said. Even he, himself, was not convinced by his own words. Maybe he just wanted to deny it and refuse to believe the truth.

"I am not mistaken. I am now investigating her real origin. The Zhou Family might have raised a werewolf. I have to find out where Mrs.  Zhou gave birth to her. Our questions will be answered one by one."

CRASH!

Clank!

A sound of a broken glass was heard. When Raizel and Kira turned around, Marceline was already standing at the door. In front of her, the broken glasses were scattered.

She prepared a drink for them. She couldn't wait until the two finished their discussion so she decided to come and bring them some drinks.

Who would have thought that the two men were talking about her. So this was the reason why Raizel asked her to leave and give them privacy.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I am not a real member of the Zhou Family? I am a werewolf, not a human? What kind of ridiculous joke is that, Mr. Scarlet?"

Kira got worried when he saw Marceline's reaction. She also loathed werewolves because they were the ones who killed her parents. And now, Raizel was telling them that she was a real werewolf. How would she be able to accept that?

"Since you have heard us, there is no need to hide this from you. If you want to know the truth then there was only one way to find out. Cooperate with us. Aren't you curious about your real origin as well?" Raizel suggested to Marceline.

Marceline fell silent for a moment. She had conflicting thoughts about it. Does she really want to know the truth? What if she couldn't handle it? If she is not the real daughter of her parents, then who is her family? Did they abandon her?

Kira traced his steps towards Marceline and pulled her into a hug. He wanted to comfort her. "You don't have to force yourself, My Lady." Then Kira shot Raizel with a cold sharp glare. Raizel couldn't understand Marceline's feelings. Why did he have to hurt her like this?

On the other hand, Raizel just ignored Kira's deathly glare. He was waiting for Marceline's response.

After a while, Marceline pushed Kira away from her body as she faced Raizel.

"I will cooperate with you but on one condition… bring back my grandfather. Give him back to us," Marceline demanded.

"How would you cooperate? Will you tell us where you were born?" Raizel asked her.

Marceline just smiled bitterly at him. "There was an easy way to find out. Just bring back my grandfather and I will tell you."

Kira and Raizel exchanged glances with one another. They were wondering what method she was talking about.

Little did they know, Marceline was thinking of conducting a DNA test. This way she could find out if she was a member of the Zhou Family or not.
