Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Cedric was pissed off as Kira emphasized that Marceline was already his wife. Cedric had become obsessed with Marceline. He wanted her but now Kira claimed her as his woman.

If he could just kill him now, he would do it right away. But to his dismay, Kira was more powerful than him.

"Are you done with your demands? Is that all?" Cedric raised his eyebrow, feeling annoyed.

"No. I'm not done yet. You have to keep my existence from Dominique Silvano. My identity as a vampire should remain a secret. One more thing, for this offer to be valid… you need to swear in front of your clan that you will not go back on your word."

Cedric and Vladimir exchanged glances with one another. The way Kira spoke seemed like he knew Dominique personally.

"Do you know Dominique Silvano?" Vladimir asked him, assessing Kira's expression. But he couldn't discern what he was thinking. Kira was unreadable.

"Of course. He is very famous to the vampires as he was the one who chased them out of the kingdom. I mean to us." Kira promptly responded, hiding the hostility in his eyes. He was glad that Cedric didn't recognize him as the Vampire King.

Kira Vladamirovich Alaric– this name had been forgotten already. But everyone knew the name of Raizel Uchiha, the current leader of the Vampire Clan.

Only a few people could remember Kira, most especially those vampires who loved and admired him so much. Since one thousand years had passed, everything about Kira faded as if he didn't exist at all.

"So, what's your decision now? Will you cooperate with me? I will never mention your secret to other werewolves. Rest assured that Dominique Silvano will not hear anything about your plan. And I will keep my mouth shut about the assassination of the Werewolf Prince." 

Kira waited for several seconds as Cedric and Vladimir were still thinking about his offer. They were weighing things, assessing if they could benefit more from this deal.

They only had two options in mind for their secrets to remain hidden from the Silvanos. The first one was to kill Kira. The second one was to accept Kira's offer.

The first option was not feasible right now as Kira had control over Cedric's mind. But if we chose the second option, they had to fulfill all Kira's demands and once they declared this agreement in front of the clan, they could no longer break it.

A werewolf's promise in front of the whole clan was sacred so they couldn't break it, otherwise, the whole clan would suffer a great consequence and might suffer for breaking their sworn statement.

"But before I can agree to this, you have to stop controlling my mind. Remove the hypnotic effect of your psychic ability on me!" Cedric also expressed his own demand.

"And give me a reason for me to believe you. Who knows you might betray us and sell the information to the Silvano Family!" he added. He must ensure that this bloodsucker would never double-cross them.

Kira just let out a humorless laughter. It was funny to hear those words from a werewolf. Their race was the cunning one, not the vampires.

"Mr. Morgan, it's not in our nature to stab our own kind in the back. It's your expertise. Werewolves are fond of deceiving, cheating, and betraying others, including their fellow werewolves. See… you even want to overthrow your current Werewolf King!" Kira spat back at him. His words were full of meaning. It was based on his experience.

His remarks made Cedric and Vladimir speechless. They couldn't refute that statement. Indeed, they were planning to betray their fellow werewolves.

"Okay fine! I am accepting this offer. Let's make a deal!" Cedric finally agreed to this agreement.

Kira smiled inwardly. "We need to do a blood compact for this agreement. Whoever will break this deal will receive a great punishment from the Moon Goddess."

Vladimir and Cedric suddenly felt alarmed at the mention of the Moon Goddess. They heard the rumor going around the Kingdom Phantasia several years ago that Dominique Silvano was cursed by the Moon Goddess because he broke the mutual agreement they had with the previous Vampire King. But no one confirmed if it was really true or not.

And now, Kira even used the Moon Goddess's name to seal this deal between the two of them. 

However, thinking about the disappearance of the Moon Goddess for a hundred years, Cedric eased up a little. He didn't have to be afraid of the Moon Goddess's curse as she had disappeared for so many years and she never showed up to the werewolf clan for a very long time.

"Fine. Let's do the blood compact for our agreement but make sure you will lift your psychic ability and free me out of your mind control!"

"Sure! Let's do the blood compact and make your sworn statement in front of your whole clan." 

Kira looked happy about this turn of events. He would now use Cedric to destroy Dominique Silvano. He couldn't wait to see Dominique's reaction once he learned that his favorite general planned to overthrow him and kill him.

Meanwhile, Cedric already ordered Vladimir to tell the whole members of the White Claw Pack to gather on the underground floor. An important happening was about to take place in Triple Headquarters.

[ Five minutes later… ]

Kira and Cedric were now standing in front of the members of the White Claw Pack. The members proceeded to the underground floor right after receiving the message from Vladimir.

As soon as they saw Cedric along with Kira, the elite werewolves who had joined the attack last night were puzzled. They didn't know why Kira showed up in their headquarters. For goodness' sake, he's a vampire but he was currently inside the werewolves' den.

'He is lucky! This vampire got protection from the Moon Goddess. She sent a white wolf to protect him. Who is this vampire?'

'He easily defeated our Alpha. His power is no joke!'

'I didn't expect that he could match up and even surpass the strength of our Alpha!'

The werewolves started to talk to each other through their mind link. Speculations started to go around the headquarters.

'Does Moon Goddess favor a vampire more than a werewolf?'

'Is the white wolf here too? I'm curious about what does she look like in her human form. She's a beautiful white wolf. I bet her human form is also a head-turner, as gorgeous as the goddess of beauty.'

The werewolves were still talking about Kira and the White Wolf, Vladimir had spoken as he would be the one to lead the ritual for this blood compact agreement.

"All of you here will be our witnesses for the verbal agreement between our Alpha and this vampire." Vladimir declared to all.

The werewolves who were puzzled a while ago gasped in surprise when they heard the content of the agreement between Kira and Cedric. They listened to Vladimir carefully, not missing any details. The eldest werewolf of the White Claw Pack approved of the agreement.

It did not take long when Kira and Cedric slit their hands, pouring some of their blood inside the glass goblet. Vladimir was the one holding the goblet. When the two men were done, he shook gently the goblet in his hand to mix their blood.

The next thing he did was pour some blood into Kira's glass and Cedric's glass. They had to drink it to seal their agreement through this blood compact. Kira and Cedric drank it at the same time. That's the end of the blood compact ritual.

Cedric tried his best not to puke. He hated the taste of a vampire's blood. Unlike Kira, he was not used to drinking and consuming blood.

'Damn! I hate this blood compact. Why do I feel like I become a bloodsucker just because of this!' Cedric lamented to himself. But on the positive side, he felt at ease now. Kira would not tell Dominique about Cedric's evil and cunning plan.

"Now, I have to leave. My work here is already done," Kira mumbled as he traced his steps towards the door.

"Wait! Where are you going? You can't leave just yet!" Cedric shouted at Kira with his glaring eyes.

Kira just looked at him innocently. "Why is that so?"

"Have you forgotten? You should remove it! Stop controlling my mind!" Cedric raised his voice in irritation. He thought Kira was just leaving without wiping off the effect of the hypnotic ability he put on Cedric.

Kira let out another chuckle. "I will remove it as soon as I leave this headquarters. I need to be cautious around you. You might stab me in the back."

Cedric could only crumple his face while glaring at Kira. "Vladimir, escort our guest out of our building, NOW!"

Seeing the irritation on Cedric's face, Kira felt so satisfied. He succeeded in the first phase of his plan. Now, it's time to deal with Ronan Zhou! 

He would not allow Marceline's Uncle to scheme against her once more. Ronan would likely do it as he was in a desperate situation right now. Kira was afraid that Ronan would do something that might hurt Marceline. He had to protect her no matter what!

Hurrying to leave the Triple W Headquarters, Kira walked with large strides. He needed to see Marceline, his wife as soon as possible.

The moment Kira left the Triple W's headquarters, he vomited blood. He strained himself too much from using a high-level mind control ability against Cedric.

'The blood I consumed during our blood compact is not enough to bring me back to good health… I need my wife's blood!'
