Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

** Human World: Year 2022 ( Present Time ) **

Zhou Ancestral Mansion...

Just looking at this big old Mansion, anyone who happened to see this place would think that this was a haunted house where several ghosts and spirits were currently living and wandering around.

But little did they know that the true occupant of this old mansion was not a ghost but a witch… a cunning witch in the Business World, Marceline Celeste Zhou, the heiress of the Zhou Empire.

But don't get the wrong idea. She was called a witch not because she had a superpower or knew witchcraft, but because she was a cold-blooded and stone-hearted woman.

She was living alone in that old mansion. Her servants were just coming to the mansion during the daytime. She didn't like noisy and crowded places. She preferred to be alone in her house.

For safety and security, she installed various security devices in the different parts of the house, hiring a few guards as backup. They were just staying in the guardhouse near the gate so their presence would never bother her.

The mansion might be looking old outside but it was filled with different high technologies and equipment, protection against those bad guys who would try to trespass and break into her house.

This was the precautionary measure of keeping her safe from external threats for she was a strong but stubborn woman who chose to live in isolation.

After all, she was an heiress of the Zhou Empire and she was known as a ruthless and cruel businesswoman who offended lots of people.

Aside from that, with the current power struggling within the family, she couldn't trust anyone, even her closest relatives. In other words, she needed to be cautious to protect herself from danger.

However, tonight... who would have thought that the danger she was trying to avoid would not come from the outside, but it was already inside her house?

Marceline was currently sleeping in her comfy bed. She was only wearing her thin nightgown. Since she was just alone in her house, she didn't bother wearing underwear.

She felt more comfortable sleeping with fewer clothes on, or better not wearing anything at all. This is one of her deepest secrets that no one was aware of. She loved living alone in her own silent world, her safe haven.

In her deep sleep, Marceline had no idea that somewhere in the mansion a faint sound could be heard. It was the sound of a casket opening.

She was clueless that something was hidden in the underground basement of the mansion.

It did not take long when the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard along with the crushing sound of some things falling on the floor. Then it was followed by silence once again.

A tall figure of a man emerged from the secret door of the underground basement.

"Where am I? What is this place? Why am I still alive?" The deep husky voice of a man echoed amidst the silence of the night.

The house was engulfed by darkness but with his super sense of sight, he could still see his surroundings clearly. Night vision- one ability of a vampire like him.

Kira couldn't understand what was happening right now. The last thing he remembered was the time he was betrayed by his woman.

He was supposed to be dead by now. But he wondered why he was still alive. He even checked his body. His wound was already healed.

A smirk played across his pale face, his eyes were burning red.

"Don't tell me Dominique failed to kill me once again? But where am I?"

He peered at his surroundings but all he could see were unfamiliar things. He could only conclude that he was not in his kingdom right now.

He continued roaming around the house until his eyes found a room. He paused for a moment, his eyes staring fixedly at the closed door.

Kira couldn't explain why but something was pulling him to enter that certain room. When he started to move closer to the door, he realized that there was a human inside.

He could smell a pleasant scent coming from the inside. He suddenly felt an intense hunger. He got injured and he didn't know how long he was put to sleep. And now that he was awakened, he needed to consume blood to satiate his hunger.

His two sharp fangs were already visible. He could no longer wait to have his fill. Without further ado, Kira traced his steps towards the room.

He pushed the door, creating a loud bang as the door got destroyed. Despite the noise made by the falling off the door, the person inside didn't wake up. Soon, he entered the room.

In a flash, Kira was now standing by the bedside. His red eyes gazed down only to be greeted by a beautiful sight of a woman, soundly asleep in her bed.

Kira couldn't help but assess the sleeping beauty starting from her feet going up. Her flawless long legs were visible since her nightgown was only covering the upper part of her thighs.

Kira gulped hard as his hunger intensified upon seeing her exposed skin. For him, she was like a delectable meal that he couldn't resist. Her unguarded appearance seemed like inviting him and telling him, 'Come and eat me all you want. I'm yours.'

His sharp eyes scanned her body as if she was a subject for a thorough inspection.

'She has a nice figure, a pair of long legs, a narrow waist, and two plump round mounds.'

His eyes stopped on her curvy twin peaks. Her nightgown was so thin that he could already see her protruding crowns.

Three words popped up in his mind: 'A Beautiful Enchantress.'

He couldn't deny the fact that the delectable meal before him was a very attractive and beguiling woman.

His thirst for blood increased further after smelling her sweet scent. For some unknown reason, this fragrance was quite familiar to him.

"She smells like her…" Kira mumbled through his gritted teeth. It brought back some unwanted memories of the past.

Kira shook his head, pushing the unpleasant memories to the back of his mind. Then he climbed the bed and trapped the woman under him.

He slid the strap of her nightgown down her shoulder. He paused for a moment after seeing her scar, his hand unconsciously caressed her shoulder, touching her exposed skin and tracing her scar. He wondered what happened to her to get that mark.

Fueled by his intense hunger, he moved his face closer to her neck. Kira closed his eyes, savoring her sweet scent before opening his mouth and revealing his sharp fangs.

'Damn! I'm so thirsty. I just want to have a taste of her blood… but I might end up sucking her dry. Why do I feel this kind of intense hunger right now? I don't want to kill a human…'

He hesitated for a moment. But his mouth was drawing closer and closer to her neck, getting ready to take a bite… to have a taste of her.

When he could no longer hold back, his hungry mouth finally touched her neck. Her body felt so warm. Then Kira buried his fangs and he sucked on her skin, drinking her blood.

'Shit! Her blood is so sweet. It tastes so good…'
