Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ At Silvano's Villa… ]

Marceline brought Lyca and Little Lowell to the villa, introducing them to her brother and parents. Lyca was surprised to see the husband and wife whom she met before.

Dylan introduced them as his relatives but not as his parents. And what shocked her more was the fact Marceline and Dylan were twins! And they were both werewolves.

"You… are her twin brother?" Lyca asked in disbelief.

Dylan bobbed his head while flashing his sweetest smile. He was so glad to see Lyca in their house. Though he still felt weak, Dylan was energized as soon as he saw his mate. Even his wolf, Lan-Lan, was rejoicing inside. Both of them missed Lyca so much.

On the other hand, Dominique and Serena could no longer oppose Marceline's decision of bringing Lyca with her. Little Lowell was not a problem because he was a hybrid. But Lyca… was just a human. Since they were trying to make it up for Marceline, they agreed to her decision.

Dylan felt so grateful to his twin sister. She made it possible so that he could be with his mate. Serena and Dominique were both spoiling Marceline right now. He was so happy his sister was supporting him in pursuing her best friend, Lyca.

"I'm not going to Kingdom Phantasia without Lowell and Lyca. Thank you, Dad… Mom… for letting me bring them."

"As long as it's your wish," Serena mumbled.

"As long as your wish doesn't involve Kira…" Dominique added, making everyone silent. He truly knew how to ruin the moment.

Marceline just kept her silence. Then Serena nudged her husband's shoulder, telling him to control his words.

"I want to take a rest now…" Marceline said. She would like to be alone so Little Lowell chose to stay with Dylan and Lyca.

Dylan invited Lyca and Little Lowell to roam around the garden. The two would sleep in a separate guest room on the second floor. They would just kill time and bond with Dylan who was very enthusiastic because of Lyca's presence.

Lyca didn't know that Dylan almost died and he was still recuperating from his injuries.

"Did my sis tell you everything? About our nature?" Dylan asked Lyca expectantly.

"Yes… but only a little bit… we still have a lot to talk about." Lyca said anxiously. She didn't know why her heart began racing after seeing Dylan. Did she miss him?

"Are you afraid of me?" Dylan asked.

"N-No…" she meekly responded.

Little Lowell just ignored the two and distanced himself to give them privacy. He just focused on the flowers. He wanted to get some for Marceline. He would like to cheer her up by giving her beautiful flowers.

Seeing that the little boy was preoccupied by something, Dylan moved closer to Lyca, simply putting his hand around her shoulders.

"Don't you feel cold? Let me give you warmth…" Dylan softly mumbled.

Lyca absentmindedly nodded her head. And when Dylan got her response, he moved to her back and wrapped her in his arms by hugging her from behind.

Lyca's heart skipped a beat when her back touched Dylan's sturdy chest. His body felt so warm. His arms were wrapped around her waist. Then Dylan tightened his grip on her body, pulling her closer. She could already feel Dylan's heartbeat. It was so fast just like hers.

"Lyca… I missed you…" Dylan sweetly whispered into her ear before he placed his chin over her shoulder, still hugging her.

'I thought I was going to die and I would never see her again… I'm glad… I stay alive and I can hold her like this.'

Meanwhile, in her bedroom, Marceline lay down on the bed as she looked at the ceiling absentmindedly. Her mind was wandering off somewhere.

She and her family were going to leave the human world tomorrow, but still, she didn't have the chance to talk to Kira. She regretted not confronting him a while ago. She should have slapped him for the words he said.

She closed her eyes, still wishing to see Kira. It did not take long when she heard the opening of her glass window near the balcony of the second floor. Her eyes shut open when she caught a whiff of a familiar male scent.

Her heart started to beat faster against the wall of her chest. 'He is here!' Stella also mumbled in her mind.

Marceline got off the bed and saw the man standing just a few meters away from her.

Marceline parted her lips only to close them again as she didn't know what to say nor what to feel. She hated him but at the same time, she missed him so badly.

Marceline wondered how he was able to sneak into her room despite the heightened security around the villa. How did he avoid fighting the guards?

The room was engulfed in deafening silence. Kira seemed like he was waiting for Marceline to speak up. However, Marceline couldn't find her voice and courage to confront him now.

"Xyon said that… you are leaving. Is it true?" Kira finally broke the silence. He started tracing his steps toward her.

Marceline remained tight-lipped. She couldn't bring that topic up. Why did she see a myriad of emotions in his eyes? Was he sad? Was he angry?

"You. Are. Not. Going. Anywhere!" His scarlet eyes settled on her face, blazing in a raging fury. Kira clenched his fists, trying to control his rage.

Then Kira's words replayed in her mind as if it was her wake up call. She shouldn't let herself be fooled by Kira. He just wanted to use her.

"No way! You just want me for your revenge," she responded mockingly while meeting his intense gaze. "Just leave me alone!"

For a moment, Kira was taken aback. He didn't know where she got those ideas.

Then, in a flash, he closed their gaps, pushing her down on the bed while trapping her in his arms. "I can't... because my kind of revenge means... Trapping you here…" he brought her hand into his chest, pointing to his heart.

"and by enslaving you here… in my bed," his mouth moved over hers in a sensuous exploration, traveling down her throat to her neck. His hand was already caressing her soft flesh.

"I will get what I want by making you mine!" Before she could complain, a ripping sound was heard as he tore her clothes apart.
