Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge - Chapter 145

“Marceline… Wake up!”

A voice in her subconscious was trying to wake her up. Hearing that distant but familiar voice, she forced her eyes open only to find out that she was under the water.

Marceline felt the pain in her lower abdomen. It hurt like hell. There was blood oozing out of her stomach. Someone stabbed her!

‘Damn! What happened to me? The last thing I remembered is that I’m with grandpa’s head guard…. And then… someone injected me with something and so I passed out!’

Marceline started to suspect the head guard. He set her up. She just realized that it was just bait. He fooled her. She thought her Uncle was the one who ordered the head guard to kill her.

‘They are taking advantage of the situation. My grandfather is still in critical condition. And now they want to eliminate me. I swear if they will try to do something against my grandpa. I will haunt them even in my death!’

Marceline tried her best to endure the pain, hold her breath, and swim. She was struggling but she won’t give up. She had to survive for her grandfather and for her parents. She hadn’t gotten justice for her parents’ death yet so she still had something important to do.

Furthermore, she also found a reason to continue fighting back. She had Kira on her side now! He was the most important person in her heart aside from her grandfather.

She was almost losing her breath. Her body was too weak because of the blood loss. She felt like she was going to lose consciousness as her eyelids were now heavy.

‘No. I don’t think I can survive this. I don’t have enough strength…’ Marceline could feel it. She was getting tired. It seemed like Her situation was hopeless.

Her body became so numb because of the coldness of the water. She was freezing! ‘Kira… where are you? I need you… Please… save me… Ki.’

The person she could think of right now was Kira. He was the only person who could save her. That’s what’s on her mind at this moment.

She was losing consciousness when she saw a white wolf. It was a big beautiful white wolf. Her white fur was very thick and smooth, glowing in the dark. Her amber eyes were fixed on Marceline.

‘Who are you?’ Marceline asked the white wolf. They were connected through a mind link.

‘I am you and you are me! We are just one entity.’ The white wolf responded to her.

Marceline was dumbfounded for a moment. She didn’t expect that a wolf could speak to her. She sounded like a human with a beautiful soft voice. She understood her words, loud and clear.

But she was confused as to why the white wolf was saying she was her.

‘I don’t know you…’ Marceline spoke up once again. To her surprise, her pain disappeared after seeing the white wolf and her breathing came back to normal as if she was not under the water.

‘Marceline… accept me… Accept me as part of you. You need me and I need you. We have to become one.’

‘I can’t understand you! I have nothing to do with you. You are a werewolf, am I right? I hate werewolves. I hate your kind! Get lost! I don’t need you.’ Marceline still refused to acknowledge Stella, her wolf.

Stella felt hurt and saddened as Marceline refused to accept her. She didn’t want to acknowledge Stella’s existence. This would put them both in danger.

‘I’d rather die than to owe or be indebted to someone like you,’ Marceline added.

Even in times like this, Marceline was so stubborn. She hated those werewolves to the extent of hating her own wolf… her own self!

‘Marceline… I’m on your side. I’m not your enemy. Please don’t close your eyes and your mind. I am you! You are me. You can’t change this fact.’

‘I. AM. NOT. A. WEREWOLF! I’m a Human!’ Marceline insisted, arguing with Stella.

Stella was afraid that this would happen. Marceline was in great danger but here she was still refusing to acknowledge her power. Stella was the great power she had.

She would become more powerful if only Marceline would accept Stella as part of her. However, Marceline’s hatred towards the werewolf race was the main reason she and Stella couldn’t become one.

‘Marceline, please open your heart for me. I’m not a bad wolf. With me, you can protect yourself, most especially your loved ones!’

Stella was still trying her best to convince Marceline. Stella wanted to get closer to her, gain her trust and win her heart. But her words of plea only fell on deaf ears as Marceline refused to believe her.

‘If you truly can, then save my grandfather! Can you do that? If not, then just go away! I loathe your kind. I don’t want to talk to a werewolf like you!’ Marceline was sending her away. She was shutting the door of her heart against Stella.

Stella could only sigh helplessly. This was a rare occasion that she could talk to Marceline. She was so happy that she was able to communicate with her in this life-and-death situation.

She thought Marceline would finally accept and acknowledge her. But she was mistaken. She underestimated Marceline’s hatred towards werewolves.

She felt disheartened as Marceline kept on rejecting her. Stella’s heart was crying inside. She didn’t know what she would do to make Marceline soften for her.

‘Ki… I thought Kira would help me. But… it seems like both of them hated me. My human self hates me… my mate also hates me. How long will I become alone and lonely? Is it better for me to disappear?’ Stella mused to herself. She was now feeling down and gloomy.

‘Why do I always have to experience rejection over and over again? Why do I always have to sacrifice myself for others?’ Even Stella was having a hard time. She had been lonely for so long. Her existence was unknown even to herself (Marceline).

The white wolf shed some tears before slowly disappearing from Marceline’s sight.
