Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Golden City… ]

Dylan began his journey by exploring the Golden City. It was the largest city in the whole country. It was quite crowded as many people were living in this city.

After leaving the Northleaf Timberland Forest, Dylan headed straight to the city. He was aware that Triple W was stationed in this city so he was more careful not to be seen by them.

He was already suspecting Cedric as the mastermind for his assassination attempt. Triple W was involved with the ambush. Kira was his witness. He believed his words.

He didn't visit Silvano's Private Villa. He assumed that Triple W would try to search for him as they hadn't confirmed his death yet. He already anticipated their moves. And he was right! Cedric sent a team to monitor Silvano's Villa.

It would be advantageous for him if Cedric and Triple W would think that he was already dead. He would have more freedom to move and look for his missing twin sister. 

Not staying in his family villa was the original plan so Dylan was now strolling around the city looking for a place to stay in. He was checking small apartments.

He decided to remain in the Golden City as his vision told him that Princess Stella was in this place. He wondered if vampires were holding her captive. He would find out once he found her.

Though he didn't know her current appearance, Dylan could still recognize her through her birthmark. Both of them have the same birthmarks– a crescent moon mark.

Stella had it on the back of her neck while Dylan had it on his right chest. Aside from that, he believed that their twin bonds would help him find her.

After strolling around the cities for three hours, Dylan finally found a lowkey apartment. The place was very simple and quiet. Ordinary people were living there on the same compound.

"This is perfect. I hope this place can't attract members of Triple W."

Dylan chose the fourth floor of the building so that he was near the rooftop. He would love to hang out there at night and watch the city.

His room was large enough for him. He had his own kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. He arranged and organized his things. He also bought some clothes in the City Mall.

When he was done cleaning and setting up the appliances, Dylan decided to take a quick shower. He also needed to find a job to earn money.

"Hmm, Is my sister alright? Is she living a simple life or do vampires make things difficult for her?" Dylan couldn't stop worrying about his sister. 

He slammed his eyes shut, feeling the droplets of water falling on his face down to his body. He didn't know what awaits him in this human world. If he had to fight thousands of vampires just to get his sister back then he would do his best.

'Thousands? You didn't even manage to fend off the werewolves and witches. How much more fighting thousands of vampires? Where did you get your confidence, my prince?' His wolf spoke to him, mocking Dylan.

'Shut up, Lanlan. It's your fault for being a weak wolf,' he retorted back.

'Ahuh? Ungrateful prince! If I'm weak, you should have been dead by now. My tough body stopped the silver arrow from piercing your heart.' His wolf, Lanlan, argued with him.

'You should have been more vigilant. What happened to your super sense that you were not able to detect the assassin hiding in the shadows?' the wolf added.

Dylan opened his eyes while pouting his lips. He couldn't refute that.

'I guess we should triple our training! I need to get stronger to defeat Cedric Morgan. He is a traitor. He is more dangerous than a vampire!'

Lanlan had to agree with Dylan. He also hated Cedric Morgan of the White Claw Pack.

'Yes, we should train more.'

After taking a bath, Dylan put his casual clothes on. He watched his reflection on the wide mirror, assessing his appearance.

Tilting his head from left to right, Dylan told himself, "I need to change my appearance. Members of Triple W are everywhere. I might stumble with them while I'm exploring the city."

To perfect his disguise, Dylan picked some items from his bag. He remembered that the White Witch gave him a gel that could change his hair color from silver-gray to black. Maybe the White Witch already anticipated that he would need it for his disguise.

He read the instructions first before applying the black gel. According to the written instructions, the gel would last for 12 hours so he needed to apply a new one once the effect would fade away.

Dylan started to apply the gel and his hair color began to change into black. The majority of the people in this world had black hair so this would help him not to attract attention. His appearance stood out more if his hair was silver-gray.

"Hmm, I like it." Dylan smiled in satisfaction after seeing the end result of his transformation.

He decided to take a nap and go out later at night. He would also try to monitor Triple W's movement, visiting their headquarters in secret.

"Let me spy on some of their members. I need to find out if the whole Triple W is involved in my assassination or only Cedric and his loyal men had something to do with it.

*****

Nighttime…

Dylan heard that members of Triple W loved to hang out in this certain club called S- Club. He applied there to become a member under a different name.

He liked the ambiance inside. It was also advantageous for him as everyone was wearing a mask. No one would recognize him. He masked his werewolf scent using the perfume given by the White Witch.

Dylan chose to sit in the dark corner as he began to observe the people inside. Everyone was dancing and drinking at their hearts' content.

Using his super sense, he tried to spy and eavesdrop on the conversation of the people inside. Then he spotted a group of men talking about what happened to Triple W Headquarters.

"Alpha Cedric is so scary. I thought he would run wild last night after transforming into his wolf form. It will be hard to calm him down."

"Yes. I felt the chill just looking at his bloodshot eyes. He was freaking furious. Fortunately, Elder Vladimir and his Beta arrived on time to pacify our angry Alpha."

"Have you heard? Alpha Cedric requested Alpha King to grant us permission to kill vampires on the spot!"

"The surprise attack in our headquarters caught everyone in surprise. The vampire forces are becoming stronger. I support Alpha Cedric's decision if he wants to kill vampires on the spot. They are becoming a great threat against us."

He was still listening to them when his eyes caught a glimpse of a certain lady walking towards the dance floor.

Dylan's eyes widened and his heart began to pound crazily inside his chest. Even his wolf, Lanlan, got extremely excited as if he was going wild the moment his gaze fell on that woman.

"My Mate!" Dylan blurted out in disbelief.
