Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Dominique Silvano went to the lobby with a broad smile on his face. Talking to Marceline gave him a pleasant feeling as if they had known each other for so long.

His trip to the Human World had become more exciting now because of Marceline. He was now looking forward to getting closer to her.

Cedric and his bodyguards were already waiting for Dominique in the lobby. Cedric could finally sigh with relief as they were now leaving the hospital. Inside the car, Cedric interviewed Dominique as he was curious why Dominique stayed long in visiting the Zhou Patriarch.

"How is your visit, our King?" Cedric was very polite when talking to Dominique. No one would think that this werewolf general was already plotting against his own King, stealing the title from him.

Dominique smirked at him meaningfully before saying, "The visit is quite interesting. Someone from the Zhou Family made a scene. Natasha Zhou attacked her cousin Marceline Zhou with a surgical knife. But in the end, I was the one who got stabbed."

Bodyguards: "..."

Cedric: "..."

Everyone had a stunned expression on their faces when they heard that. How could that be possible? Was he saying he intervened and protected Marceline Zhou?

It was very unusual for Dominique to do that. He was a selfish person. He would never help someone, especially an ordinary human being unless that person was important to him.

Since Cedric remained silent because he was still in a trance. It was Dominique who spoke once again, asking him with a serious tone. "What exactly happened to the Zhou Family? I want every detail!"

Cedric suddenly got anxious. Would Dominique get mad once he learned the truth?

\'Damn! Why did he suddenly become curious about the Zhou Family matters?!\' Cedric tried his best to look calm so that Dominique would not suspect him of anything.

In the end, Cedric had no choice but to tell him everything he knew, omitting the details about Kira.

He explained that it all happened because of the power struggle among the members of the Zhou Family and it was related to the inheritance. Evelyn Zhou poisoned the Zhou Patriarch so that her husband would become the sole owner of the Zhou Empire.

He also told Dominique that Roland Zhou wanted his granddaughter, Marceline, to inherit the Zhou Empire as it originally belonged to her deceased parents.

Dominique could now understand the conflict within the  Zhou Family.

"One more thing, Alpha King… Marceline Zhou already knew the existence of werewolves. She learned the involvement of werewolves in the deaths of her parents eighteen years ago."

"What? So you mean… she hates us?" Dominique felt alarmed when he heard that. He didn\'t want Marceline to hate his race.

Cedric bobbed his head as a response. "Yes, she hates us, werewolves. So be careful of her. She might form an alliance with the vampires." Cedric already warned Dominique because he couldn\'t tell him about Kira because of their blood compact agreement.

Dominique\'s bright mood changed. He felt conflicted with this discovery. As much as possible, he didn\'t want Marceline to become his enemy.

\'I will not let her form an alliance with the vampires. I will try to win her favor.\' Dominique made a mental note.

*****

Meanwhile, Serena and Vladimir were roaming around the Golden City Imperial Mall, the biggest mall in the city. The bodyguards were following Serena while Vladimir found a way to meet Kira secretly.

The two were talking inside a Cafe. They chose a corner far away from other customers so that they could discuss whatever topic they wanted to talk about.

"Don\'t waste my time, mutt. Tell me what important thing you were referring to?" Kira took a sip of his tea while looking at his wristwatch.

Vladimir clenched his fists. He had the urge to kill Kira right here right then but he couldn\'t. His instinct was telling him Kira had something to do with the brutal attack against Evelyn Zhou. Evelyn Zhou hadn\'t regained consciousness until now. So he couldn\'t confirm it yet.

"Cedric has an offer to you. Do you want to try and kill Dominique Silvano? He is here in the human world."

Kira let out a sarcastic laugh while looking at Vladimir.

"No way! Why would I do that? It\'s just like giving you an easy life. Cedric and your pack are the ones who are eager to kill him. I\'m not dumb to fall into your trap. Why don\'t you kill him yourself? I heard Dominique trust Cedric so much."

Vladimir frowned. He could tell that Kira was very wise. He wouldn\'t fall for this.

"But the vampires also want to kill him, am I right?"

Kira let out another chuckle, moving his forefinger from left to right as if telling him "No! No! No!"

"You are wrong. The vampires want to kill every werewolf, not only your Werewolf King." Kira said, smiling coldly.

"Why don\'t you form an alliance with us. We can kill Dominique together." Vladimir still tried to convince Kira.

His statement gained another sarcastic laugh from Kira. "Werewolves couldn\'t be trusted. Vampires already learned our greatest lesson."

Kira was saying all this because he knew that Cedric and his pack were not sincere about forming an alliance with the vampires. Cedric was also greedy. He might become the next Dominique. So he would never let the vampires suffer again from the werewolves.

Thinking about it, Dylan was more suitable to be a Werewolf King than Cedric. But Kira didn\'t want to admit that as Kira could still see Dylan as the son of his mortal nemesis.

\'Sigh. Is there no one else who can become the leader of werewolves… someone who will not treat vampires as his enemy?\' Kira mused to himself.

Meanwhile, Vladimir already received a message from Cedric. He informed him that Dominique was done visiting the Zhou Patriarch. He could now stop talking to Kira and let Kira go back.

"Ok. Since you don\'t want to form an alliance, you can leave now."

Kira raised his eyebrow. He noticed something unusual in Vladimir\'s behavior. \'Is this the only reason he wants to talk to me? And where is Cedric? I thought he was the one meeting me today…\'

In the end, Kira just shrugged his shoulders and stood up. "Since you are the one who invited me here, pay for my tea."

Vladimir just glared at Kira who was smiling at him provokingly. He wanted to rip that smile off his face but he restrained himself. They were in a public place right now.

Kira just left the Cafe, not waiting for Vladimir. He was also in a hurry to go back and see Marceline. He wouldn\'t be at ease without her by his side.

Kira was also worried that Cedric was somewhere near Marceline. He was supposed to be the one talking to him but he was nowhere. What if Cedric grabbed this opportunity to meet Marceline?

\'What a cunning mutt!\' Kira was cursing Cedric in his mind.

Since Kira was sprinting towards the exit of the mall, he bumped into someone.

"I\'m sorry. Miss, are you–" Kira was not able to finish his word when he recognized the person. The woman whom he bumped into was none other than Serena, the Werewolf Queen.
