Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"I\'m just kidding, Rai…" Kira patted Raizel\'s shoulder.

The Vampire General just sighed helplessly. "Alright. Enough joking. Let\'s get serious now. Explain to me how you ended up marrying the heiress of the Zhou Empire, Marceline Celeste Zhou?" Raizel was not yet done interrogating Kira. He still had a lot of questions in mind. He needed some answers.

"This is between me and Marceline. You don\'t need to know it. Okay?" Kira couldn\'t understand why when it came to Marceline he didn\'t want to tell Raizel anything about her.

Was he afraid that Raizel would become interested and attracted to Marceline? Well, aside from that… Kira wanted to hide from Raizel that Marceline had become a werewolf.

This was also for her protection. Kira knew that Raizel had a strong hostility toward werewolves. He promised to keep Marceline\'s secret from anyone, including his best friend.

"Now, it\'s your turn to tell me why you are here? What is your relationship to Marceline\'s grandpa?" Kira asked Raizel, feeling intrigued.

"Roland Zhou and I formed an alliance. We are planning to get revenge against the werewolf clan. As you know, werewolves were the ones who attacked Marceline and her family eighteen years ago. Because of that incident, Roland Zhou had decided to join us in fighting the werewolves."

Raizel told Kira everything about the deal and partnership between Roland Zhou and him. Marceline\'s grandpa was the one who helped them establish the Scarlet Heart Inc. This company became a great source of their defense and power.

"Ki, come back to us. You should lead us in this war against the werewolves and Dominique Silvano." Raizel was looking at him expectantly.

"I will prepare everything for your return," he added, convincing Kira.

But Kira was not yet ready to face his entire vampire clan. And he couldn\'t leave Marceline at this moment.

"Rai, I really appreciate this offer. Of course, I am with you in this fight. I will do my best to bring the glory back to our clan. But I think this is not the time to show myself to the other vampires. They hate me and others have forgotten me already."

"Besides, it\'s best that no one aside from you knows that I am alive. Dominique Silvano believes that I\'m dead. We will use this as an advantage. Werewolves should not know that I\'m still alive. With this I can move freely and easily in the shadows. We will give Dominique a great surprise." Kira\'s eyes gleamed at the thought of Dominique\'s reaction once he saw Kira.

"Okay. I understand. I agree with you. But on my side, I will pave the way for your return… my King." This time Raizel showed respect to their Vampire King.

Kira just gave him a grateful look before nodding his head.

"I ask Serafino to look for you. I guess I can give him another mission now."

"Serafino? Is he the vampire who started spreading news about you being alive?" Raizel asked him curiously. "Where is he? I searched for him in the entire city but I couldn\'t find him."

"I already told him to stop spreading that news. He is very careful with his movement as I advised him to lie low. But I can call him right now for you to meet him." Kira picked up his phone, searching for Serafino\'s number.

"Okay." Raizel simply responded. "One of these days, visit me in my secret hideout. I will explain to you our concrete and comprehensive plan on how we will defeat the werewolves."

"Sure. I will find time to visit you," Kira mumbled while waiting for Serafino to answer his call.

It did not take long when Serafino answered the video call. Raizel moved closer to Kira to see Serafino\'s face on the phone screen.

"My Lord… you and General Raizel already met??!" Serafino blurted out exasperatedly when he saw the two men together on the screen.

Kira introduced the two of them to each other. Raizel wanted to commend Serafino for hiding very well. He failed to locate his location as he erased any traces of him.

"I have an important mission for you. It will be dangerous. Tell me if you can do it or not." Kira\'s expression was so serious while talking to Serafino. He wondered what kind of mission Kira was giving him this time.

"Just tell me, my Lord."

Serafino and Raizel were both waiting for Kira\'s command. What was he planning to do now? His next steps!

"I want you to find a she-wolf…" Kira said, making the two men speechless.

"Who? Are you referring to Selene?" Raizel promptly asked Kira.

Serafino didn\'t say a word but his eyes were fixed on Kira, observing his reaction. He was also curious about the identity of this she-wolf whom Kira wanted to find.

Meanwhile, Raizel was thinking that Kira was referring to Selene or the missing werewolf princess. \'Does he know that Selene\'s daughter is still missing? Does Kira want to find Selene\'s and Dominique\'s daughter to do his revenge?\'

On the other hand, Kira already shook his head as a reply to Raizel\'s query.

"I want to investigate further about the incident that happened a thousand years ago. I want Serafino to find Gisel, Selene\'s best friend."

Raizel frowned upon hearing that. He knew it. This was still related to Selene.

"Have you not moved on yet, Ki? Why are you still interested in that woman?" Raizel tossed a look at him, meeting Kira\'s gaze.

"Closure… I want to know the truth to have a closure with her…" Kira mumbled in a low voice.

Serafino and Raizel fell silent. They couldn\'t utter a word as they knew how much Kira suffered from a heartbreak. It was so hard to be betrayed by the person you loved the most.

To break the deafening silence, Serafino spoke up. "Don\'t worry, my Lord. I will do my best to find Gisel."

"Bring her to me once you find her. There are lots of questions I want some answers from her."

"Got it, my Lord. I will bring her to you."
