Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge - Chapter 177

Dominique and Serena finally set foot on the land of the humans! Cedric, Vladimir, and Evelyn welcomed them.

The King and Queen of werewolves were being escorted by eight elite werewolf fighters. This was for their protection against the vampires who would try to attack and assassinate them during their visit.

Dominique’s advisor was temporarily in-charge of the Kingdom of Phantasia, maintaining the peace and order in the kingdom. He would also be the one to lead the werewolf armies to defend and protect the kingdom once Rebel Vampires tried to launch a surprise attack against them.

Dominique would not worry about those things. His main priority was to find his missing daughter. He felt alarmed when he saw her in his dream. She seemed to be sad and afraid.

Aside from that, he thought his dream was like a vision about the place where he could find his daughter. Golden City was the clue to finding the werewolf princess.

“Rise,” Dominique said in his authoritative voice. His voice was so cold and intimidating that Evelyn couldn’t look him straight in the eyes.

The Werewolf King possessed a domineering aura. His one glance could send a chill down her spine. Evelyn just maintained her gaze on the ground, not daring to look at Dominique.

Meanwhile, Cedric and Vladimir obeyed Dominique’s command as they stood up.

“Where do you plan to go now, King Alpha?” Cedric asked him, concealing his emotions. He was curious as to why Dominique came to the human world earlier than his prior plan.

“Escort my wife to the Triple W Headquarters. I’ll have to go somewhere,” Dominique said before turning to Serena. He held her shoulders and looked at her eyes.

“Go with them for a while. Bring the werewolf fighters with you as your guard. I’ll fetch you there as soon as I finish my business today.”

Serena wanted to object but she could tell that Dominique had some important things to do.

“Okay. Why don’t you bring the other fighters with you? You also need protection.”

Dominique just let out a husky laugh while caressing her face. “You are underestimating me, my Queen. I’m the most powerful creature now in the Kingdom of Phantasia. I can protect myself. I brought them to protect you while I’m not around. I don’t need them.” The way Dominique spoke to his wife seemed like he was not a cold and ruthless man. His expression was gentle whenever he would look at her.

Cedric, Vladimir, and Evelyn noticed the huge difference in treatment Dominique was showing between them and his wife. He had a cold demeanor when talking to them but to his wife, he was always gentle.

They felt embarrassed and uncomfortable seeing this public display of affection coming from Dominique.

“Cedric, you are my general so make sure that my Luna will always be safe, especially inside your territory. Are we clear?”

“Yes, Alpha King!” Cedric responded obediently.

Dominique just nodded at him. He didn’t pay much attention to Evelyn and Vladimir. He just watched Serena and others leave the forest before he proceeded to his target destination– the Golden City River.

Everyone just left when another person emerged from the portal just when the gate was about to disappear. It was Gisel, Selene’s former Beta.

She planned on watching Serena’s every move. She still couldn’t understand why Selene had become a different person from what she was used to know. She even changed her name from Selene to Serena.

Gisel believed that Dominique had something to do with these changes. She wanted to protect her friend so she was doing this, spying on her secretly.

She was having a hard time monitoring her inside the palace as the security system and procedures were very strict. She couldn’t move freely under the watch of the loyal werewolf guards.

Fortunately, Serena and Dominique decided to visit the human world. Gisel had the chance to follow Serena without worrying too much about getting caught by the werewolf guards.

Compared to the palace guards, the security loosened as they only have eight elite werewolf fighters around. She could stalk Serena and Dominique, finding out what they were up to. Now she chose to follow and secretly monitored Dominique’s movement.

“Let’s see what you are going to do, Dominique Silvano,” Gisel mumbled to herself as she began tailing the Werewolf King.

[ Zhou Ancestral Mansion… ]

Clueless about the arrival of his mortal rival, Dominique, Kira was still lying on the bed together with Marceline and the young hybrid boy. Kira didn’t release Marceline from his arms as he continued cuddling her until morning.

Meanwhile, Marceline woke up, her eyes still bleary from sleep. She turned from left to right twice only to find two men hugging her from both sides– Kira was on the left side while the young hybrid boy was on the right side.

She blinked several times, still couldn’t believe that these two slept in her room voluntarily, without consulting her. No wonder she’s sweating as early as this morning. Kira and the young boy were clinging to her tightly!

Marceline patted Kira’s hand while calling him but at the same time, making sure not to wake up the Little One beside her.

“Ki, wake up…” She whispered in his ear.

Hearing that familiar sweet voice of his Lady, Kira slowly opened his eyes only to be greeted by two beautiful emerald orbs.

“My Lady, good morning!” Kira said, greeting her with a charming smile.

Marceline just raised her eyebrow, motioning Kira to lift his leg that was placed on her waist. Kira just smiled sheepishly before removing his leg on top of her.

“Move to the other side a little,” Marceline said, gently pushing Kira.

Kira just sighed deeply before complying with her request. When Kira moved a little, creating a distance between them, Marceline slowly removed the young boy’s hand that was hugging her waist then she got off the bed to go to her bathroom.

Kira also stood up, assisting Marceline. She glared at Kira as she still felt sore down there. Kira almost lost his control last night and became rough. Marceline ended up falling asleep from too much exhaustion.

“Just stay there and watch the boy,” Marceline stopped Kira from following her inside her bathroom.

“Ok, Madam!” Kira said jokingly which gained another glare from Marceline.

A few minutes later, Marceline came out of her bathroom after taking a quick bath.

“Where are you going?” Kira asked her curiously.

“In the company. The company’s stocks fell after people heard the news about my grandfather and my Uncle who were currently in the hospital. I need to fix this today to prevent further losses.”

Kira nodded his head as he understood her.

“I’ll accompany you to the company.”

“No. Stay here and take care of the boy.” Marceline said firmly as she continued to put some clothes on. Kira was at her back, watching her every movement.

“Sigh!” Kira could only sigh deeply as he couldn’t refuse Marceline’s request. ‘I’m going to babysit today,” he murmured looking at the sleeping figure of the hybrid boy.

“By the way, what is his name?” He asked Marceline.

Upon hearing that question, Marceline realized that she didn’t know the little boy’s name either. She couldn’t ask him as he lost the ability to speak a word aside from ‘Mama’ and ‘Papa’.

“I don’t know his real name but we can call him Lowell which means a wolf cub. But of course, we will consult him if it’s okay for him to call him by this name.”

‘If it’s you who suggested it, I don’t think this young kiddo will refuse it.’ Kira thought to himself.

“Okay, let’s call him Little Lowell, Little Lo, or Little Well!” Kira suggested.

Marceline could only shake her head helplessly. It did not take long when she was done fixing herself and she was ready to go.

“Kira Alaric! You are excused today. You don’t have to report to the company. Xyon will also help me with today’s concern.”

After saying that, Marceline gave him a peck on his cheek before walking out of the room.

“Wait!” Kira grabbed her elbow thus stopping her from leaving.

“What? Do you have any concerns?”

Kira shook his head as a response. Then he moved closer, cupping Marceline’s face while sealing her lips with a sweet passionate kiss. Kira was not satisfied with a peck so he kissed her on the lips.

Marceline left her room with a bright smile on her face. Kira could easily brighten up her day despite the numerous challenges she was currently facing.

Marceline was the one driving her car today. She texted Aunt Brianna that she was on the way to the Zhou Empire. But Aunt Brianna didn’t respond.

‘This is weird. Aunt Bri didn’t reply. This is unusual for her to do. Is there something wrong?’ Marceline pondered to herself.

Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at the Zhou Empire building. She expected to see Aunt Brianna waiting for her inside her office. But to her disappointment, there was no sign of Aunt Brianna.

“Where’s Aunt Bri? Is she sick?”

Marceline picked up her phone, dialing Aunt Brianna’s number but no one was picking up.

“What’s wrong with Aunt Bri?” Marceline was puzzled.

She was still trying to contact her when Xyon knocked on the door, catching Marceline’s attention.

“Come in,” she said.

Xyon entered her office with a gloomy expression on his face. “Big Boss, are you okay?” He was worried about her as he heard about what happened to Marceline’s grandfather and her uncle… and another bad news today.

“Yeah, I’m fine. By the way, have you seen Aunt Bri? My personal assistant?

“Huh? Lady Boss… You haven’t heard yet?”

“Heard what?”

“Aunt Bri… she passed away!”
