Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

After their passionate lovemaking, Kira and Marceline reconciled, clearing the misunderstanding. Kira brought Marceline back home with a promise. The two of them would do their best to stop the war between werewolves and vampires.

Before Kira left, he kissed Marceline for one last time, leaving them breathless. Now that they reconciled, it would be harder for them to get separated from each other.

"Promise me… that you will wait for me…" Kira stared at Marceline's eyes with love and longing.

"I promise…" Marceline cupped Kira's face, giving him one last peck on his lips.

"You should leave now. I don't want you to fight Dominique and Serena…" Marceline was not yet used to calling them her parents.

Kira understood her. Dominique was a hot-blooded werewolf. He would certainly attack Kira once he saw him near his son, Marceline, also known as Stella.

Abigail stayed on her balcony as she watched Kira leaving the mansion. Her heart clenched as she saw his disappearing figure. She missed him already.

"Sigh. Why do we have to get separated again?" Marceline could only shed some tears. It was both tears of joy and sadness. She was sad that she and Kira had to part again. But she was so happy because they already made up. Kira also confessed that he loved her.

Marceline headed straight to the bathroom to take a bath. Werewolves were very sensitive to their sense of smell. Her body was covered by Kira's scent. She had to remove his scent from her body.

As she took her bath under the shower, Marceline reminisced the sweet and intimate moment she had with Kira. She couldn't help but smile as she touched her skin wherein Kira left some love bites.

Then she looked at her reflection in the wide mirror. The bite mark Kira left on her neck was still there. That was the most significant love mark she had ever received from him.

Kira acknowledged her as his soul mate! And he promised to make her his queen. His only Queen!

But unknown to her, her parents were so determined to separate her from Kira. She could choose anyone else but not Kira!

Marceline slept with a bright smile on her face. She was joyful and grateful for tonight. But more challenges would come their way. Things would be more complicated as her parents would start to scheme together just to make her hate Kira.

*An hour later…*

Marceline was put in a deep sleep. She dreamed of something strange. Something she couldn't explain, making her so confused.

[ In her dream…]

Marceline saw Kira standing in the valley under the moonlight. She smiled as she saw the man she loved the most. Although she knew that this was just a dream, she felt so glad to see him again.

He looked so handsome under that silvery moon and the millions of twinkling stars. Kira was gazing at the night sky. He didn't notice her presence yet.

Marceline had the urge to run in his direction and hug him from behind. But she tried to restrain herself as she just wanted to take her time watching his charming smile.

She could tell that Kira felt so happy tonight. After a while, Kira lowered his gaze, looking at the kingdom across the valley. Marceline had no idea that the kingdom below them was the Kingdom of Phantasia.

She hadn't been there. But she felt like she was familiar with the surroundings. She just couldn't remember coming to this place.

When she got satisfied watching Kira from behind, Marceline finally showed up, leaving her hiding spot. She wanted to hug Kira but for some unknown reason, she found herself charging in his direction while holding a silver dagger.

'Huh? What am I doing?' Marceline asked herself confusedly as she began attacking Kira.

Kira dodged her attack effortlessly. "You know that coming here is like throwing yourself in the land of the dead!"

Marceline wanted to tell him that it was her but her voice couldn't come out of her mouth. She couldn't say a word as if she had become mute.

'Wait! What is happening to me? Is someone controlling my body?' Marceline tried her best to control her body but she failed. She kept attacking Kira.

'No! I don't want to hurt Kira!' Marceline screamed in her mind.

"I have enough of this! Don't spoil my Lady's surprise. I will never allow anyone to disrupt our wonderful moment." Kira sounded furious. He was mad about this. And so he began to counterattack, fighting Marceline whom he thought was an enemy.

With Kira's super strength, he was able to grab her neck and pin her down on the ground. Marceline winced in pain because of the impact. This was just a dream but it felt so real.

To identify his attacker's identity, Kira hastily removed Marceline's cloak. Just when she realized she was wearing a black cloak.

Kira was shocked beyond belief upon seeing her face. But Marceline heaved a sigh of relief as finally Kira found out her identity. Marceline thought they would stop fighting now.

But the next thing that happened surprised Marceline to the core. Her hand reflexively moved. Gripping her silver dagger tightly, Marceline plunged it into Kira's chest near his heart!

Not only Kira but also Marceline was stunned about what she had done.

'No!!!! What's wrong with me?! Why am I hurting Kira?! Why?'

Marceline's heart was also in turmoil right now. She couldn't understand why she was doing this. This was not a dream, but a nightmare!

'No, Kira! No! I must wake up! I must wake up!'

Marceline began to cry in her sleep. She was scared… super scared! Hurting Kira was the last she would want to do. She would prefer to die, instead of hurting him!

"Stella! Stella! Wake up!" Someone was shaking Marceline's body. When she opened her eyes, Serena's face greeted her sight.

Marceline was still in shock. Her body was trembling and sweating profusely. Serena hugged her tight and comforted her.

"It's alright! It's alright! Don't be afraid. I'm here. We're here," Serena softly mumbled.

Dominique was also there, standing next to Serena as they tried to comfort Marceline.
