Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ At Silvano's Villa… ]

The next morning, Marceline woke up in an unfamiliar environment. Her head hurt a little. She was struggling to sit up, leaning her back on the headrest of the bed.

The memories of what transpired last night popped up in her mind like a flashback. She remembered Victoria and the other vampires attacking her. But a giant werewolf came to her rescue, protecting her against those vampires.

Marceline was still trying to figure out the identity of the werewolf who helped her when the door slid open. She raised her head, meeting the gaze of the person who had just entered the room.

'Dominique?' Marceline mumbled in her mind, her eyes steadily looking at him.

Dominique smiled tenderly as soon as he saw her. She was already awake!

"How are you? Are you hurt somewhere?" Dominique asked her worriedly. He put the tray of food on top of the bedside table. He asked the maid to prepare breakfast for Marceline and delivered it to her bedroom.

Marceline didn't answer his question, but instead, she confronted him right away.

"Are you the one who saved me last night?" Marceline paused for a moment, her eyes having complicated emotions. "Are you a werewolf?"

Though Kira already warned her about their identities, she still wanted to hear it from Dominique himself. She wondered if he would still deny it or not.

"Yes. I'm a werewolf. But don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you," Dominique softly said, sitting down on the edge of her king-sized bed.  "Don't be afraid of me," he added with a pleading voice.

Marceline was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect that Dominique would confess to her easily about his real identity.

"You are a descendant of gatekeepers so I know you already know about our existence." Dominique continued talking, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Y-Yes," Marceline reluctantly answered. In fact, she's not a descendant of gatekeepers. She is a werewolf! But she didn't want to expose her real identity yet to Dominique. She heard that Kira and Dominique were enemies.

"Where was your husband last night? I think he is involved with the attack. Where did you meet that guy? How much did you know about him?" Dominique bombarded her with so many questions. His protective instinct was acting out again.

"I don't know where he went last night. But I am certain that he has nothing to do with the attack," Marceline said with conviction, defending Kira.

She knew that Kira would never allow that to happen. He might have gone somewhere together with his best friend, Raizel.

"I should go home!" Marceline tried to stand up and get off the bed but Dominique held her in place.

"No! You can't do that! I can't let you go back to that mansion. That's not a safe place for you. What if vampires will come again to attack you? I could tell that they went there to kill you!" Dominique was so worried about her. He would not allow her to come back.

"But Kira might be worried sick about me if he can't see me there. I have to go back!" Marceline was still worried about how Kira would feel rather than her own safety.

"Why do you care so much about that guy? He must be using you for his own gain!" Dominique raised his voice. He was pissed off hearing how Marceline wanted to go back to Kira despite what happened to her last night. She almost died!

"Because he is my husband! And I love him!" Marceline replied firmly.

The two were like a father and daughter duo who were having arguments. No one wanted to lose with their arguments.

Dominique could only suck his teeth while massaging his temples. He just learned that Marceline was so stubborn. She didn't want to listen to anything he said. Kira was still her main priority.

"Let me talk to him. I have to inform him that I am safe." Marceline extended her hand, asking for Dominique's phone.

"I can't. He must not know about this place. He is a vampire, isn't he?" Dominique asked Marceline, directly looking into her eyes.

Marceline remained tight-lipped when it came to that. She would never admit that to Dominique. She knew that Vampires and Werewolves were mortal enemies.

"I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't want me to leave, then at least, let me call him. I just want to inform him that I'm alive and safe." Marceline insisted.

"I said No. I can't. You are putting your life at risk. Stay away from that guy!" Dominique responded sternly.

"Who are you to tell me that? Who gives you the right?" Marceline questioned him.

"I'm your savior! You owed me your life. So for you to repay me, I want you to listen to me. Okay?" This time Dominique toned down a little bit.

"Stop thinking about your worthless husband. Just eat your breakfast first to recover your strength. You might have been shocked about what happened last night." Dominique picked up the spoon and fork, handing them over to Marceline.

Marceline didn't say a word as she realized that the person in front of her was indeed her savior. She owed him her life. She must not act rudely towards him.

"Thank you… for saving me," Marceline thanked Dominique sincerely. "But, I just want to ask you something. What were you doing in my mansion last night?" Marceline eyed him suspiciously. It was already late at night when the incident happened so she wondered why Dominique was there.

'Is he trying to do surveillance? Is he investigating Kira's real identity?' Marceline was still thinking about Kira and his safety in times like this. She saw how powerful Dominique was in his werewolf form. As much as possible, she wanted to protect Kira from him. Stella and her instinct were both telling her to do so.

"I'm worried about you so I decided to go and pay you a visit. Who would have thought that coming there I would witness vampires attacking you in your weak state?"

"Miss Zhou, tell me honestly. Do you have any idea why those vampires were trying to kill you?" Dominique asked her, throwing her off guard.
