Kira held Serena's shoulders but her sharp fingernails were already buried deep into his chest. Serena could squeeze Kira's heart at any moment. Meanwhile, Marceline's world seemed to stop the moment she saw this scene. Her mother's hand was inside Kira's chest and he started to bleed.
Raizel and Victoria, who attacked Dominique, were caught with the werewolf king's bare hands and tossed them aside like rag dolls. When their body hit the ground, they noticed that Kira was attacked by Serena, herself.
Raizel's eyes set ablaze when he saw this scene. Serena hurt Kira once again. She kept on harming Kira over and over again.
"Fuck it! I knew it! She would betray Kira, over and over again!" Victoria spat some blood as she tried to stand.
Dominique's laughter reverberated throughout the entire cave. He was satisfied to witness Kira's demise. Once again, he fell into their trap. This time Serena and Dominique would ensure that Kira would disappear from their lives. He shouldn't be together with their daughter, Stella (aka Marceline)
Marceline stumbled on her feet, fortunately, Dylan was there to support her. She was lost for a moment. A series of memories came flashing into her mind. Her head ached with throbbing pain.
Victoria and Raizel wanted to help him but Dominique blocked them as he shifted into his wolf form. Werewolf King vs Raizel and Victoria. Knowing that Serena would become Kira's weakness, he let his queen deal with Kira. However, he needed to stop his daughter, Stella, from interfering.
Dominique growled, commanding Dylan to hold Marceline in place, not allowing her to do something to protect and rescue Kira.
Kira, on the other hand, could feel the excruciating pain as Serena's sharp claws were buried deep into his heart. She even squeezed his poor heart in her fist.
Kira didn't groan or whimper. He just ground his teeth as he tightened his grip on Serena's shoulders. He gazed down to look at her, his eyes not breaking their eye-to-eye contact.
"Selene... answer me. Is everything about us in the past just all lies? You have never loved me... You and Dominique deceived me and used my love for you to defeat me... am I right?" Kira smiled bitterly. He thought he wouldn't feel hurt anymore. He thought he already moved on and accepted the past. But now, it hurt more than his bleeding heart.
Kira loved Selene for real. She was his first love. He was willing to do anything for her. But now, he just realized that everything they had was all lies... fake... illusions! Nothing was real.
"Yes. It's true. I have never loved you. I just used you for the sake of our Werewolf Clan. Dominique is the only one for me. My mate... my one true love." Serena confessed to Kira.
Her words added more pain to his wounded heart. 'Damn! I am dumb... I am a fool.'
Kira subconsciously glanced at Marceline. He could feel his body weakening, along with his power. He was hit in his vital organ. His heart was struck by the Werewolf Queen's sharp claws. She could even pull out his heart now and crush it in one single squeeze. She could only kill him by beheading Kira and crushing his heart.
"Don't look at my daughter. This is the end for you, Kira Allaric!" Serena coldly said as she began to squeeze his heart and pull it out of his body.
SLASH!
"Kiraaaaa!" Both Victoria and Raizel screamed his name.
Thud!
Kira collapsed and fell to the ground with his open chest. The blood was oozing out of his flesh. He could only look at Marceline as he extended his right hand in her direction.
Raizel attempted to snatch Kira's heart from Serena but the Werewolf King pounced on him, thus stopping him from getting closer to Serena.
"No, Kira! You can't die just like that! You are the most powerful creature in the Kingdom of Phantasia!" Victoria screamed in desperation.
But no matter how strong a man was, a woman would always become his downfall.
Serena planned to crush Kira's heart but suddenly a white light flashed inside the cave, blinding everyone for a moment.
'What is happening?' Serena asked herself when she felt that someone took Kira's heart away from her grasp.
Five seconds later, the blinding ray of lights narrowed down and their vision and eyesight came back. But to their surprise, Marceline was now surrounded by glimmering light. She was holding Kira's heart as she kneeled before him. All eyes were on her.
"What is this? Is this part of her power?" Victoria mused to herself as she watched Marceline.
It did not take long before Marceline began to transform into someone familiar to them. Raizel, Dylan, and Victoria were confused when Marceline's face changed and she became the spitting image of Serena.
Meanwhile, Dominique and Serena were shaken when they recognized her.
"Selene..." Serena mumbled in disbelief.
"I won't let you hurt Kira again..." Even Marceline's voice changed into someone they knew.
"Mother... My sister looks very much like you... as if you are twins," Dylan blurted out in amusement.
Dominique and Serena didn't know what to say. How could their daughter become Selene? Serena's Twin Sister.
"I... was finally awakened. My memories came back!" Selene said through her gritted teeth. She was looking at Serena sharply.
"Hey, what's going on here? I can't understand..." Victoria moved closer to Raizel, helping him to stand. He injured his leg since Dominique broke his bone after biting him so hard.
"I think she is the real Selene... whom Kira loved," Raizel responded. He couldn't fathom this but he assumed that the woman before them was Kira's real lover, Selene.
"How come? You died, Selene! Did you possess our daughter's body!" Disbelief was evident on Serena's face.
But Selene grabbed Kira's body, making him sit. Then she hugged him from behind as she tried to put his heart back into his chest.
"Yeah. I died... to protect Kira. I sacrificed my life to save him. And the Moon Goddess saw my pain and sacrifices so she gave me another chance to live. I was reincarnated as your daughter..." Selene revealed to them.
Growl!!!
Dominique growled loudly when he heard that. He couldn't believe this. The Moon Goddess did something to resurrect Selene and punish them through this.
Meanwhile, Kira was still speechless. He was trying to absorb what was happening right now. How could there be another Selene?
But as he looked at her... as he felt her warmth... Kira could feel the familiarity in her presence.
'She is Selene... The woman I loved before... Marceline is Selene's reincarnation... this means... Our Love was not a lie... It's real.'
Kira felt overwhelmed by this revelation. He could no longer feel the pain. He felt secure and safe in Selene's embrace.
'My Selene... Is back... She is back...' Kira slammed his eyes shut, hoping and praying that this was not a dream. After a while, he opened his eyes again and turned to look at her face.
"Selene..." he softly called her name. "Is that really you... My Lady?"
Selene nodded her head and gave him a reassuring smile. "Yes, I am Selene... Selene Athanasia."
