Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Palace Hall in Kingdom Phantasia… ]

Dominique Silvano, the king, was currently sitting on his throne as he summoned his trusted messenger to report and give him updates about the journey of the werewolf prince, his son, Dylan.

"Did the prince reach the human world just fine? Did he pass through the Northern Gate Portal without encountering any mishaps or problems?" He asked the messenger, moving his gaze at the palace window.

Though he believed in the strength and capability of his son, he was still uneasy knowing he would be exploring the human world alone. 

Dylan was in disguise, pretending to be an ordinary human being. He didn't allow any of his father's loyal guards to accompany him.

"Yes, Alpha King! We received a message from the gatekeeper of the Northern Gate Portal. He opened the gate and saw the prince passing through the portal as he stepped into the human world. But rest assured, Alpha King… the gatekeeper has no idea that the person who arrived is the werewolf prince."

Dominique slightly nodded his head and stood up from his throne. He wondered what the prince was doing right now. He was putting his hope in his son to find the missing princess.

"That's all I wanna hear. You are now dismissed." 

The messenger bowed his head before leaving the Palace Hall.

Dominique was lost in his thoughts. He wanted to send Dylan off that night but since they wanted to hide Dylan's real identity, Dominique just let him go to the portal alone. It was also the werewolf prince's request from his father.

If he sent someone to watch the prince then he would have known that his son was ambushed as soon as he stepped into the land of the humans.

His personal messenger had just left when Cedric's messenger showed up, greeting the Werewolf King. He immediately paid respect by kneeling before the king.

"Our Alpha King, I had a message to deliver coming from the human world."

The King surveyed the messenger with a critical squint. From his tone alone, he could tell that the messenger was about to relay something he couldn't consider good news.

"Go on!" He said, fixing his eyes on him.

"The Triple W Headquarters was attacked last night by vampires. Four werewolves died and many were injured. All the vampire prisoners that were supposed to be sent back here escaped! Alpha King, the vampire clan is now on the move, showing their real fangs and biting us at the back."

"In relation to this, your loyal general, Alpha Cedric, is requesting you to allow Triple W to kill the vampires on the spot once they get caught," the messenger delivered the most important request from Cedric.

"What?! How is that possible? The security of Triple W is very tight. How were they able to escape and infiltrate that headquarters? Don't tell me you lower your guard down?!" Dominique was enraged after hearing the bad news.

"Alpha King, it seems like the vampire clan is able to recruit some witches to side with them. Someone powerful is helping them. That's why they dare to infiltrate the Triple W Headquarters!" 

The messenger was just relaying Cedric's speculation. He didn't have concrete proof yet. Besides, he didn't want to be a laughingstock so he didn't tell Dominique that the attack in Triple W Headquarter was only done by one vampire so he blamed everything on the rebellious vampire's forces.

Dominique fell silent for a moment. He couldn't recklessly give permission to Triple W to kill vampires on the spot. He was avoiding killing vampires recently and just making them become slaves.

He was still afraid that the Moon Goddess would no longer tolerate this violence and bloodshed. Though the Moon Goddess didn't show up for a hundred years, he believed that she was still keeping an eye on everything that was happening in Kingdom Phantasia, including the Human World.

When he reduced the number of vampire's execution three decades ago and resorted to enslaving them, he thought the Moon Goddess had forgiven them so his wife was able to bear children…Twins!

He was now only targeting and hunting the Rebel Forces of the Vampire Clan. But he was enslaving ordinary vampires like women and children. 

But those who were stronger enough to fight the werewolves and witches were ordered to be killed and executed especially if they were proven to be the members and supporters of Vampire General Raizel.

"Inform Cedric that I will think about this first. The mating season is about to end. I will give him my decision after that. For now, I want you to report the extent of damage Triple W had received after the attack."

The messenger told him and enumerated the losses they got from that attack. Dominique's face darkened when he heard everything.

"It looks like they enhanced their Mind Control Abilities…" he murmured to himself. Then Kira's face flashed in his mind. He was the only vampire who could control several werewolves at the same time using his overpowered mind control ability.

Dominique wondered if Kira's right-hand man had already reached that level. He was aware that vampires lay low for several years, trying to build, train and strengthen their armies. Did they improve this much?

Cedric's messenger was about to leave when Dominique left him another important message.

"Tell Cedric that one of these days, I will visit the human world. I want to see the situation there with my own eyes."

The messenger was taken aback the moment Dominique's words were heard. He would come to the human world earlier than they expected. What if he would learn something about Dylan's assassination? Cedric was still searching for his body to confirm his death.

"Okay, Alpha King. I will inform your general about your visit."

Dominique just nodded his head, waving his hand to dismiss him. He was also thinking to bring his wife with him. She had been in a low spirit lately.. He wanted to cheer her up by visiting the human world.
