Kira couldn't see Marceline but he could sense her sharp gaze directed at him. He was anxious because Marceline might misunderstand his action.
"Marceline…" Kira softly mumbled her name, his eyes roaming around as he searched for her.
Soon, the effect of the concealing potion wore off, revealing Marceline and Dylan. The two were standing next to each other, just a few steps away from Kira and Serena.
Marceline had an indescribable expression on her face as she looked at Kira and her mother. She tried to hide her negative emotions– jealousy and pain.
Meanwhile, Dylan already stepped forward, closing their gaps. Upon reaching Kira's spot, he extended his hands, telling Kira to let him carry his mother.
Serena felt disappointed when Kira handed her over to Dylan. As much as possible, she wanted to stay in Kira's arms while letting Marceline see that Kira was still worrying about her. Serena was against the relationship between Kira and Marceline. Dominique and Serena wanted to break them apart even if it meant hurting Marceline's feelings.
Kira slowly traced his steps toward Marceline. Though she tried to conceal her emotions, Kira could still feel what was in her heart. They were mates. They already marked each other. Their emotions were connected and their bond got stronger.
Kira pulled Marceline into a rib-crashing embrace. He missed her. He thought he would never see her again. Raizel sealed him in his coffin. Fortunately, the Moon Goddess came to his rescue.
"I missed you…" Kira softly mumbled.
Marceline hugged him back, tightening her grip around his body. She missed him so much. She could feel that Kira was not lying however, she felt insecure around her mother. Marceline couldn't erase from her thoughts that her mother was Kira's first love. And her mother was still in love with Kira.
"I missed you too…" she replied. Not seeing him was like torture. She could no longer bear to be separated from him.
Dylan heaved a sigh of relief. At least, Kira managed to redeem himself in front of his twin sister. He could feel that Marceline was jealous a while ago.
"We should leave now," Dylan spoke to catch the couple's attention. This was not the time for a reunion. They went there to rescue his mother. They were in the enemy's territory. It would be risky to stay longer in that place.
"Go ahead. I have to stay behind and stop my best friend," Kira said while looking at Marceline intently.
"No. Come with me…" Marceline objected. She didn't want Kira to stay behind. Raizel and Victoria would never listen to Kira. They already made up their minds. They were pushing this all-out war.
"There is no time to argue! Let's go, sis!" Dylan was in a hurry to leave since he promised Lyca that he would return as soon as possible.
However, before they could take another step, a group of vampires blocked their path. Raizel and Victoria arrived, holding Gisel and Serafino as their hostages. The two of them were captured by Raizel.
Three vampire elders accompanied Raizel and Victoria to confront the intruders. They were surprised to see their former Vampire King, Kira, standing alongside the werewolves.
'Our former vampire king is alive! But why is he with the werewolves? It looks like he is helping them rescue the Werewolf Queen!'
'Damn it! He doesn't learn his lesson. He still chose to protect his first love!'
Victoria was giving Kira a cold sharp glare. On the other hand, Raizel was baffled after seeing Kira. He was not supposed to be there.
'I locked him up. I sealed him. How come he is here?' Raizel couldn't fathom how Kira managed to escape. Who helped him?
"Kneel before me! I'm still your King!" Kira commanded them.
Victoria just let out a mocking laugh. "In your dreams, Kira. We no longer acknowledge you as our King. See! You keep betraying us!"
Raizel's face darkened also. He could tell that Kira was siding with the werewolves.
"Let them go!" Marceline clenched her fists. Serafino and Gisel were in danger. The vampire elders were strangling Serafino and Gisel.
"Hahaha. Why would we obey you? You are in our territory. You can't demand something from us. You are now surrounded." The elder vampire spat back at Marceline.
Dylan and Marceline could hear the rushing footsteps coming their way. Soon, the White Claw Pack arrived, headed by Alpha Cedric.
'Sh*t! They found out! They caught us!' Dylan roamed his eyes around the surroundings, searching for a possible escape route.
Cedric grimaced at the sight of Kira. He was still bitter toward him.
"You could even join hands with evil werewolves, why can't you make a peace treaty with the other?" Kira questioned Raizel. He was disappointed after knowing that Raizel chose to form an alliance with Cedric Morgan!
"We both want the same thing! Eliminate Dominique Silvano!" Raizel justified his action.
In just a blink of an eye, Kira charged in Raizel's direction, giving him a hard punch in the face. Everyone was caught off guard. It happened so fast that they didn't see it coming. Kira moved quickly.
Thud!
Raizel's lips bled when he was hit by Kira's fist. Kira was holding him by his collar.
"I hate you, Rai! You bit me so hard and imprisoned me in my casket! How dare you do that to me! You sneaky man!" After saying that, Kira smiled and released Raizel's collar. 'I forgave you. Just let Serafino and Gisel go.' Kira communicated with Raizel through their mind link.
Raizel blinked his eyes in amusement. 'He forgave me just like that?'
Kira patted Raizel's shoulder. 'Let them go now, Rai, before I change my mind.' There was a hint of warning in Kira's tone.
Subconsciously, Raizel motioned the vampire elders to release Serafino and Gisel.
"What are you doing, Rai?! Don't listen to Kira. Are you wavering again?!" Victoria was fuming with rage.
"Don't release them. They are our enemies. Kill them!!" Victoria gave her command, contradicting Raizel's order.
They were still arguing when they suddenly heard noises and chaos nearby!
"What is that sound?"
Soon, another vampire arrived to report the happenings. "My lord, my lady! We are under attack by the werewolves!!!"
