Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

She somehow knew that Victoria wanted to kill her because they found out that she was a white werewolf, a strong werewolf that could threaten their vampire clan.

"I don't know," Marceline answered Dominique, covering up for the real motive of the vampires.

"Okay. Let's not talk about this. Just eat your breakfast first."

Knock! Knock!

Marceline and Dominique turned in the direction of the door. "Father, may I enter?" Beatrice, who is pretending to be Stella, politely asked Dominique.

"Come in," Dominique plainly responded before moving his attention back to Marceline.

Marceline's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the newcomer. She was the woman she met last time when Lyca got taken by the vampires.

'What is she doing here?' She glanced at Dominique, giving him a questioning gaze.

"She is Stella, my daughter. She is also a werewolf like me," Dominique introduced Beatrice to Marceline.

"Stella, this is Marceline Zhou, a member of the Zhou Family, one of the gatekeepers."

"I met her before. It's so nice to see you again, Miss Zhou." Beatrice slowly approached them, flashing her gentle smile. She had to stay there to listen to their conversation. Who knows Marceline might mention something to Dominique that might blow her cover?

They had just finished introducing each other when another person joined them. This time it was Serena. She was holding a phone, talking to someone.

"Dylan is coming over for breakfast. Why don't we just eat together in the dining area? Marceline, are you okay now?" Serena softly asked Marceline.

"Sure. I'm not yet hungry. I can join you," Marceline replied. She felt a little bit awkward towards Serena. This woman was Kira's first love. Could she compete against her? How could she replace her in Kira's heart?

The four of them went downstairs, proceeding to the dining area. They were engulfed with a deafening silence. Marceline didn't know how she would react and behave in front of them, especially now that she knew their real identities– Kira's mortal nemesis.

What an irony? Kira's enemies were the ones who saved her from Kira's allies who tried to kill her.

Now, Marceline could no longer determine her place. She hated werewolves while vampires hated her. She didn't belong to the Zhou Family. And she was not a human.

What would happen to her now? What should she do? Where does she belong? For some unknown reason, Marceline felt so lonely right now.

'I missed Kira. I want to see him.' She sighed deeply, thinking about Kira.

It did not take long when Dylan arrived at the mansion. His eyes sparkled in delight as soon as he saw Marceline.

"Sis!" Dylan ran in her direction, hugging her from behind after reaching her spot.

Beatrice, Serena, and Dominique were dumbfounded by Dylan's reaction. He seemed so happy after seeing Marceline as if she was his real twin sister. He didn't react like that in front of Beatrice.

"Why are you here? I didn't know that you were going to visit us here. Did my relatives invite you?"

"Son, no need to pretend. I already told Marceline that you're my son," Dominique informed him.

Dylan could only smile at her sheepishly. "I'm sorry for hiding the truth, sis. I just don't want you to be confused or frightened. My mother and father don't look old. Anyway, why are you here, sis?"

Beatrice clenched her fists. She was jealous because Dylan's attention was focused on Marceline. He didn't even greet her.

'Can't they see me? I'm Stella… their daughter and his sister. Why are they so focused on Marceline Zhou? She is just an outsider!' Beatrice lamented to herself.

"Let's eat first. We don't want to ruin your good mood once you learned what happened to her," Beatrice suddenly butted in, interrupting Dylan and Marceline.

"Huh? Did anything bad happen to you, sis?" Dylan asked her worriedly. "Where is your husband? Did the two of you fight?"

"Dylan! Stop mentioning that guy!" Dominique said sternly, clenching his fists. He was still furious just thinking about Kira.

Marceline could only sigh helplessly. The mood had been ruined. "Dylan, come. Let's just eat. I will tell you anything you want later."

Dylan nodded his head, following Marceline obediently. He cheerfully sat down next to her, instead of sitting next to Beatrice who was acting as Stella.

Everyone started eating. Dylan was very attentive towards Marceline, entertaining her for the entire duration of their meal.

When they finished their food, Marceline pulled Dylan to the balcony. She wanted to talk to him alone.

"What happened? Is there something wrong, sis?"

"Last night, when Kira was not around, A group of vampires attacked me in our mansion–"

"WHAT??! Who are they? Are you hurt somewhere?" Dylan cut her off, grabbing her, as he checked her body if she received any injuries or wounds. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw nothing.

"I'm fine. Your father saved me." Marceline smiled at him. She felt touched by Dylan's concern for her.

"How about Kira? Is he safe? Where is he?"

"He is the reason why I brought you here.  Can you do me a favor?" Marceline asked Dylan with her pleading voice.

"Of course. Just tell me."

"Your father doesn't want me to contact Kira. He doesn't know where I am right now. Can you please… get me out of here to meet Kira?" Marceline held Dylan's hands, begging him.

"You can't leave this house! Father told you to stay here!" Beatrice suddenly came out of nowhere. She was listening to them secretly. But she revealed herself when Marceline asked Dylan a favor.

"Stella?! Why are you eavesdropping? You should mind your own business, my dear sister," Dylan tried his best to be patient with her. He hated the way Stella suddenly appeared, contradicting Marceline.

"Father will get mad if you will help this woman, brother," Stella warned him. "Do you want to disobey our father's order just because of her?"

"Stella! Stop it. Marceline is our guest here. Not a prisoner! She has the right to leave this place if she wants to. Father has no right to stop her from leaving!"

Marceline glanced at Dylan. Her heart felt so warm. It felt so good that someone was defending her and supporting her like this.

'Gosh. I really like Dylan. How I wish he was my real brother.' Marceline thought to herself, staring at Dylan with her dreamy eyes.

It did not take long when Dylan grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, sis. Let's leave this place and go back to your husband."

Without waiting for Stella to say another word, Marceline and Dylan walked away, leaving Stella on that balcony.

She could only clench her teeth while watching their backs until they vanished from her sight. She hated it. She was already pretending to be Dylan's sister, but still, she was still a second priority to him.

He was closer to Marceline than her. Was it because Marceline was the best friend of Dylan's human mate?

"Damn! I hate Marceline and Lyca! They are stealing Dylan away from me!" Stella mumbled through her gritted teeth.

She was contemplating whether to report this to Dominique or not. But she was concerned about Dylan. She didn't want him to get in trouble just because of Marceline. In the end, she chose to remain silent
