Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"Kira, let's go…" Marceline softly mumbled, convincing Kira to leave with her. She was worried that werewolves might discover Kira's identity.

"Come with me. This is an order!"

This time Kira held Marceline's arms that were wrapped around his waist. He could feel the fast and loud beating of her heart as her chest was pressed against his back. She was nervous and anxious right now.

When Marceline felt that Kira's anger slowly faded away, she loosened her grip on his body. That was the time Kira turned around to face Marceline. His long sharp nails returned to normal.

"Boss Lin…" he mumbled her name. He looked at her apologetically as he almost forgot about her. He also made her worry. He could see it in her eyes.

Without delaying more time, Kira grabbed her hand as he pulled her towards the elevator. He gave up the idea of killing Cedric for now. This was not yet the right time but he had sworn to himself that he would collect that debt from Cedric someday.

Marceline felt relieved when Kira returned back to his usual self. The two of them rode the elevator with their intertwined hands. Marceline already informed Aunt Brianna that she found Kira. She asked her to meet them in the lobby.

"Did you find them? Your fellow vampires?" Marceline gazed up, looking at him with her worried eyes.

"Yes, I found them. They are imprisoned in that dungeon. I will implement my rescue mission tonight. After exploring the place, an idea came to my mind. I already have a concrete plan for tonight." 

Kira's face dimmed after seeing the situation of the other vampires. Their hands and feet were restrained by metal cuffs. They were blindfolded as the werewolves and witches trying to avoid getting in contact with their eyes. They couldn't afford to be put under the vampire's hypnotic ability.

Some vampires had the same mind control ability but Kira's power was stronger than the other vampires.

Kira told them that he would save them, getting them out of that place. But he didn't tell them that he was the Vampire King. He already learned from Serafino that other vampires hated him so he kept his identity secret from those vampire prisoners.

Marceline squeezed Kira's hand as she could feel the negative emotions stirring him from the inside.

"What happened? What is that emergency alarm all about?" she asked him while looking at him helplessly. He almost gave her a heart attack.

Kira chewed on his lower lip, feeling so guilty. He was already preparing himself from getting roasted and scolded by his Lady Boss.

"Forgive me, my Lady. I let my anger control me. I vent out by destroying some empty prison cells. I didn't know that it had an emergency alarm." Kira explained to her.

"Maybe I subconsciously wanted to attract Cedric's attention so that he would come to the dungeon," he added truthfully.

"You are being reckless," said the woman who also beat up a werewolf man inside the elevator.

She looked down and checked Kira's palms as she felt something weird while holding his hand.

Marceline frowned upon seeing the burnt marks on his palms. "What happened to these?!! You are hurt!" She exclaimed exasperatedly.

"I got burned after holding the prison cells. They are equipped with electric currents to electrocute the intruders. Don't worry too much. These marks will fade. They will heal on their own... especially if you will feed me." Kira added the last part, just trying to tease her and lighten her mood.

Ding!

The elevator reached the lobby. Marceline pulled him right away, dragging him out of the elevator. But instead of going to the entrance, Marceline brought him to the Lady's comfort room and locked themselves in one cubicle.

Kira just looked at her with confusion. "Why are we here, my Lady?"

Marceline unbuttoned her blouse and tilted her head on one side, exposing her neck to Kira. "Here, bite me. Consume my blood to heal yourself."

Kira blinked several times. There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"My Lady… I think you are more reckless than me. You want to feed a vampire right here in the den of wolves. Their sense of smell is also sharp and strong. Do you want us to get caught by them?"

Marceline hit his chest while pursing her lips. "It's your fault! You got hurt! I told you to be careful. I hate seeing you getting injured."

Kira finally smiled tenderly, reaching out to caress her face. "I'm sorry for scaring you. Let's leave this place now and we can do anything we want. You can feed me in your office."

Marceline could only sigh and nod her head in agreement. Kira rejoiced inwardly. They left the building as fast as they could together with Aunt Brianna. Kira was so excited to be fed by Marceline once again. In fact, he got exhausted from using too much mind control ability today.

Meanwhile, in the underground dungeon, Cedric was looking at the prison cell that was reduced to smouldering wreck. The debris was scattered on the floor.

"Who did this?" Cedric asked the guards through his gritted teeth. His eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to punish whoever destroyed the cell.

The guards couldn't answer him as they were standing outside and were put under Kira's mind control power.

Growl!

The three of them suddenly turned in the direction of the sound. One member transformed into his wolf form. That werewolf was the one who accompanied Kira inside the cell.

Cedric frowned upon seeing the wolf who was in his attacking stance. He was snarling at them. Cedric noticed something unusual. The wolf's eyes became red.

"Are you the one who did this?" Cedric asked the wolf angrily.

Growl!

The wolf let out another growl before he charged forward, attacking Cedric.

"Damn! He is crazy!" One guard blurted out, watching the incoming wolf.

Cedric just raised his one hand, grabbing the wolf by his neck. He threw him away and the wolf hit the wall so hard.. The next thing they heard was the sound of bones breaking along with the wolf's whimpers.
