Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

While Dylan, Marceline, and Beatrice were talking, on the other part of the Northleaf Timberland forest, Kira and Raizel had decided to meet. Kira needed a friend right now to talk about the things that were troubling his mind.

He contacted Raizel right away after leaving the Zhou Ancestral Mansion. He wanted also to discuss Cedric's offer and ask Raizel's advice on the matter. Kira was still thinking of using Cedric to destroy Dominique.

"Kira!" Raizel immediately tapped his shoulder while greeting him. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He couldn't even hide his joy from meeting Kira once again. He was truly glad that Kira was alive.

"Rai," Kira also greeted him with a warm smile. He missed hanging out with his best friend, who was also his vampire general.

"Is there something wrong? You look so stressed. Any problem?" Raizel noticed right away that Kira was having a problem.

Kira took a deep sigh, amazed that his best friend could easily read his mood and expression even without saying a word to him.

"Yes, something is wrong with me. I am in a great dilemma, and I don't know what to do." Kira was only comfortable confiding his feelings with Raizel. He was the only man he could trust fully.

Raizel just blinked his eyes in amusement. This was the first time (after a thousand years of being with Kira) that he could see him having a hard time when it came to decision-making.

"Dilemma? What is this all about?" Raizel asked him, feeling intrigued. He sat down on the top of a big forest rock, facing Kira. He motioned him to sit down next to him as he could tell that it would be a long talk between them.

"It's about Selene and Marceline," Kira answered him truthfully.

Raizel raised his eyebrow at the mention of Selene's name. "Don't tell me… you are not over her yet? Marceline is already your wife, isn't she? You should forget Selene. Or do you want to have a harem of wives? You already got involved with two women, a werewolf and a human gatekeeper. Do you intend to have a witch and a vampire lady too?"

Raizel seldom makes jokes. He only talked like this in front of Kira. And it seemed that his jokes weren't funny at all as his best friend was already giving him a sharp glare.

Raizel immediately closed his mouth, raising his right hand as if he was surrendering to Kira.

"What about a hybrid girl?" Raizel blurted out once again. He was just enjoying the annoyed expression of Kira. Meeting Kira's deathly gaze, he looked away, trying to hold his laughter.

"Raizel Uchiha!" Kira called his complete name as a sign that the vampire king was unhappy and annoyed. He wanted Raizel to shut up and stop teasing him.

"Your joke is either lame or not funny," Kira added, marching in Raizel's direction as he joined him on that big rock. They were now sitting together.

"Okay. I'll stop joking. So what's with Marceline and Selene? I mean Serena. I heard she didn't want others to call her Selene." Raizel shrugged his shoulders after saying that.

"I am confused about my feelings towards them, especially now… that I found, Selene loved me for real and I learned her story."

Raizel frowned upon hearing that. He was always sensitive when talking about Selene. He felt like this woman stole away his best friend from him… and all the vampires.

"What kind of story? Did she ever tell you that? Have you seen her? Did you talk to her and confronted her? What if she's lying to you again?" Raizel bombarded him with so many questions.

Kira took another deep sigh and replied, "I've seen her but I never confronted her. I learned it from Gisel, her former Beta. She told me that Selene loved me for real and Selene suffered after being rejected by Dominique. Dominique just used her to get me."

"But that's not enough reason for you to forgive her. Kira. She hurt you! She helped the werewolves to defeat you. They enslaved our clan! They killed our fellow vampires. Will you turn a blind eye again just because of this woman?" This time Raizel sounded very serious. He could easily get worked up when it came to Selene– the woman who deceived his best friend and caused the downfall of the vampires.

"Ki… I'm not against you marrying a human. But seeing you waver once again because of that woman Selene. I can no longer stand it. I will never tolerate this again." Raizel stood up and jumped off the big rock. He was angry right now.

"Can't you just forget her… completely? Move on from the past, Ki. She is no longer the girl whom you used to know. She's Dominique's Luna now. The Queen of the Werewolves!"

Kira looked down, gritting his teeth while clenching his fists. Raizel was right. He saw it with his own eyes. She was happy with Dominique. And he could tell that Dominique was also important to her.

Kira also stood up, holding Raizel's shoulder. He wanted to apologize and make him calm down. Raizel seldom shows his anger towards Kira. He assumed that this time Raizel could no longer keep his cool.

"I'm sorry, Rai. I know you are angry because you are just worried about me. I assure you. I will never let her affect my goal. And my goal right now is to bring the glory back to our clan. The Vampire Clan will rise again."

Those words from Kira were able to pacify Raizel. This was what he longed to hear from his best friend, their Vampire King.

"Alright. I will let you slide tonight." Raizel just punched Kira's shoulder.

Kira was about to say a word when suddenly two injured vampires showed up, interrupting the two. Kira and Raizel looked at them in puzzlement.

On the other hand, the two vampires kneeled right away upon recognizing their Vampire General. They didn't notice Kira.

"What are you two doing here?" Raizel questioned them in his authoritative voice.

"General, we received a mission from Lady Beatrice."

Raizel's face darkened further. He didn't have any idea about this mission. Was Beatrice making a move behind their backs?

"What mission? And why are you two severely injured? What happened?"

Kira assessed the two vampires. From the look of it, a werewolf was the one who inflicted those injuries to them.

The two vampires exchanged glances with one another, contemplating whether to spill out the beans or not.

"Don't make me repeat my question twice," Raizel warned them.

The two vampires couldn't defy Raizel so they finally answered him.

"Lady Beatrice asked us to kidnap the werewolf prince's mate. We had an encounter with him. We got injured after fighting the werewolf prince."

Both Kira and Raizel were surprised upon hearing that but for different reasons. Raizel got surprised because he never expected that the werewolf prince was also in the human world and he was with his mate.

Meanwhile, Kira was surprised that these vampires already knew that Dylan was here. And they even found out Dylan's mate.

'But why is it that I have this kind of uneasy feeling? Dylan's mate? Don't tell me she is… Lyca? They kidnapped Lyca, Marceline's best friend? The two of them are together!'
