Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Marceline became more confused at the White Witch\'s last remarks. \'The moon goddess hasn\'t told me everything yet. What else do I need to know from her?\'

"What do you mean?" Marceline asked the White Witch for clarification. But the witch refused to elaborate on her words.

"Just like what I already said… Only the Moon Goddess can answer all your questions… Princess Stella." Riemc didn\'t want to disclose something she was not supposed to say.

Marceline could only sigh in defeat. This was the first time she met her twin brother\'s friend. It would be so rude if she would keep bothering her with so many questions.

"Alright! I\'m going to ask her… by myself," Marceline sighed deeply.

The White Witch could only bob her head. It was not her position to tell Marceline what she knew. She believed that the Moon Goddess had a reason for everything.

\'The Moon Goddess disappeared for a long time. What is she up to this time? She even showed herself to Princess Stella, but not to the whole werewolf clan.\' Riemc, the White Witch, was wondering.

"Thank you for letting me borrow this set of clothes. I will return this favor. Is there something you want to request from me?" Marceline changed the topic.

"Hmm, a request?" Riemc rubbed her chin as she contemplated it. After a while, she gazed at her, flashing a faint smile. "There is one. Princess Stella… I wish… you can bring peace to our world. Unite all the creatures. Bring the vampire clan back here."

Marceline blinked her eyes in amusement. "You sound like the Moon Goddess."

The White Witch let out a soft giggle. Indeed, she sounded like her… because she and the Moon Goddess wanted the same thing– PEACE!

"I will do what I can to make that happen," Marceline said, full of meaning.

"Then go back now, Princess. You shouldn\'t stay here. You have a wish to fulfill." The White Witch was already sending her off.

Marceline paused for a moment. She didn\'t know if she could face her mother as if nothing happened. She was still hurt by her mother\'s words. She was afraid that Serena would be right. What if Kira was still in love with her mother? What would she do?

"Princess… is there something wrong? You look troubled. Care to share it with me? I\'m willing to listen." The White Witch offered her ears to Marceline. She somehow wanted to cheer her up.

"My mate… is in love with someone else. And that someone is related to me. What should I do about that?" Marceline finally opened up to her, but she didn\'t mention Kira\'s name as her mate.

"Why do you need to ask? Of course, you should fight for it. As you said… he is your mate." The White Witch gave her some cool advice. "If you love someone… you should go for it. Show him how much you love him… so that you would never regret it."

Marceline bobbed her head. Because of her advice, she somehow felt better. The White Witch was right! She had nothing to be afraid of. She had to fight for her love.

"Thank you, Riemc. I know what to do now. I have to leave. I promise that I will do my best to bring peace back to this kingdom."

"Go, Princess. I will wait for that day to come. If you ever need my help, don\'t hesitate to come. I will definitely help you… and your brother."

After gathering her emotions, Marceline said goodbye to the White Witch, returning to the Palace. Her parents, Dylan, Lyca, and Lowell were already searching for her.

Meanwhile, in the human world, Serafino finally met Gizel, Selene\'s best friend and former Beta.

"Gizel! I\'m here to send a message coming from my Lord." Serafino was referring to Kira.

Gizel frowned deeply but she faced Serafino, letting him speak. "What is it? Where is Kira, the Vampire King?"

"He asked for your help. Do you want to form an alliance with him?" Serafino didn\'t go around the bush. He was here to recruit Gizel as per the order of his Lord, Kira. However, he didn\'t know that Kira was in a bad predicament. He was trapped in his casket and no one knew about it, except Raizel.

"What benefits would I get from this alliance?" Gizel asked him back, raising her eyebrow.

"Me!" Serafino replied confidently with a wide smirk.

"Cough! Cough!" Gizel choked the moment she heard the most shameless reply she had ever heard.

"Pardon? Are you kidding me?"

"No!" Serafino replied with a straight face.

Gizel shook her head frantically and said, "No way! I decline. You are not my type!"

"Oh! That hurts my ego," Serafino said, touching his chest.

"Argh! Don\'t act like that. You are creeping me out!" Gizel punched his shoulder.

Serafino just let out a husky laugh. "Haha. Did you think I was serious? I\'m just kidding. You are not my type too!"

Gizel glared at Serafino. She had the urge to bite this man using her sharp canine!

"Don\'t test my temper. Answer me now… I need a serious answer." Gizel demanded.

This time Serafino stopped laughing. He put on a serious face and decided to tell her what Kira wanted to happen.

"My Lord is thinking of reuniting the two clans– Vampire Clan and Werewolf Clan."

Gizel was taken aback for a moment when she heard his words.

"Are you telling the truth? I thought Kira wanted revenge?!" Gizel refused to believe Serafino\'s words. "And how is he going to reunite the two clans? It\'s so impossible to do that," she added.

"No. It\'s not impossible… especially now that someone from the werewolf clan will be working with him."

Gizel wondered who the werewolf Serafino was referring to.

"Who?" She asked him expectantly.

"The werewolf princess… Stella… his mate!"

Gizel: "..."

Gizel was stupefied for several seconds. She was not able to utter a single word because of that piece of shocking news.

\'The werewolf princess is back? And she is Kira\'s mate? Werewolf Princess… is he referring to my friend and Dominique\'s missing daughter?\'
