Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Zhou Ancestral Mansion…]

Marceline was still recovering from the poison of Grandpa Roland's bite. She was weak, just lying in her bedroom. Her werewolf blood was fighting the effect of the vampire bite.

She was alone in that mansion as Little Lowell was still in Xyon's house. He will return home by tomorrow. Kira, on the other hand, was currently in the Scarlet Heart Inc. Headquarters together with Raizel.

Little did they know, Victoria and her vampire soldiers were now scattered around the mansion. They surrounded the house in Victoria's command.

The guards who were guarding the gate were now sleeping in the guard house. The vampires compelled them, letting them sleep for a while.

They could tell that there was only one person in the house right now. Marceline's scent was too strong and too sweet for them. They couldn't wait to bury their fangs on her flesh and drain her blood until she dies.

"Stop…" Victoria ordered everyone. They were about to enter the house when they felt another presence. Victoria frowned as soon as she smelled his scent. It was very familiar to her.

"Don't tell me Raizel brought Roland Zhou back to this mansion?!" Victoria said through her gritted teeth. She was angry. Raizel didn't mention anything about this.

She thought Raizel would just keep him to another place. Who would have thought that he would return Roland Zhou to Marceline?!

"He lied to me again!" Victoria's eyes were set ablaze with a raging fury. She clenched her fists tightly.

"Lady Victoria, are you okay? Is there something wrong?" One vampire soldier asked her, wondering why Victoria suddenly got mad.

"Nothing. Let's focus. Let's enter the house in different directions. All at once." Victoria set aside her frustration towards Raizel. She had to focus on her goal tonight. She must kill the white werewolf no matter what. Being distracted was not an option here.

Hearing her command, the vampire soldiers got to their positions. With his signal, all of them entered the house all at once!

Crash!

The sound of glass breaking was heard as some of them entered through the windows. Victoria entered Marceline's room together with three vampires.

Victoria was surprised to see Marceline, lying weakly on her bed. This was not what she had expected. But things seemed to go with their plan.

Since the white werewolf looked sick and weak, it was their advantage to attack now. Strike the iron while it's hot!

"Grab her, Now!" Victoria commanded her soldiers.

Marceline opened her eyes, only to be greeted by strangers inside her room. She struggled to sit up but before she could make another move, the two vampires already pulled her up, restraining her hands!

They made her stand in front of Victoria while they were holding her in place. Stella and Marceline were both weak. She couldn't transform into her werewolf form. But they could sense danger as the house was surrounded by eleven vampires, including Victoria.

"Why are you here?" Marceline asked Victoria with her raspy voice.

Victoria sneered at her. She was confident that Marceline couldn't fight back at her current condition. She was at her mercy right now. She could do anything she wanted to her.

"I'm here to settle our interrupted fight last time. I will put an end to it tonight." Victoria moved closer to her, squeezing her face in between her fingers.

She had to admit that Marceline's blood was very sweet and fragrant. She felt the urge to suck her blood until the last drop.

Using her other hand, she rubbed Marceline's exposed neck. Victoria licked her lips, letting her tongue run on top of her teeth and fangs. She suddenly got hungry. She was craving for her blood.

"Do you have any last words?" Victoria asked her with a mocking look on her face.

Marceline just squinted her eyes at her, keeping her mouth shut. She knew she was in a grave situation. Victoria and these vampires were there to kill her. And she was not in a good condition to strike back.

'Will I die tonight? I haven't talked to Kira yet. I know he was utterly astounded after hearing my true nature and origin. He is greatly affected by this revelation. Does he loathe me so much now? Will it be okay for him if I die tonight?'

She wondered where Kira went. He disappeared without telling her. Was he the one who let these vampires in? But she couldn't smell his scent. It only meant that Kira was not around. He was not in the house right now.

Marceline just smiled bitterly before slamming her eyes shut. She was accepting her fate tonight. If she was meant to die, then she would die. There's nothing she could do about it now.

"You brought lots of comrades. Are you afraid of me?" Marceline provoked Victoria, laughing at her sarcastically. Marceline didn't want to look pitiful in the eyes of Victoria. She wanted to maintain her cool.

She was not afraid of Victoria nor afraid to die. She didn't know if she still had reason to live. Her mind was also in shambles after learning the truth about her origin. She thought she was abandoned by her werewolf parents and she was still blaming herself for the death of her adoptive parents, the Zhou Family.

Slap!

Victoria slapped Marceline so hard. She hated her guts. She was supposed to feel scared and beg for her life. But here she was provoking Victoria further through her brave front.

"I can kill you now! You should beg me to spare your life, instead of being arrogant!" Victoria yelled at her. She could easily lose her temper because of Marceline. She felt like they were destined to be enemies.

Marceline just laughed it off. She didn't care about Victoria's threat.

Very pissed by her guts and confidence, Victoria decided to bite Marceline. Grabbing her by her neck, Victoria brought her face closer to her exposed neck. She was about to bury her fangs on her flesh when suddenly a loud crashing sound was heard, breaking the glass window of Marceline's bedroom. Then it was followed by a loud roar!

GROWL!
