Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Victoria\'s brows snapped together and she pursed her lips when she heard Raizel\'s last remarks.

\'Someone they couldn\'t afford to defend?! Is he kidding me? I\'m not afraid of werewolves, witches, and hybrids! How much more if she was just a mere human being?\'

"Why are you so worked up like this? Are you afraid of a mere human? She is just a descendant of gatekeepers. In fact, she doesn\'t possess the power of a gatekeeper yet! Only her two cousins had become official gatekeepers and received the protection of the Moon Goddess\' Ametiz Stone." She reasoned out with Raizel. Victoria felt annoyed as Raizel seemed to be overreacting.

Raizel slammed his eyes shut while gnashing his teeth. Victoria was nonchalant about this as she was not aware that aside from Marceline, she was also touching Kira\'s bottom line.

Kira would take action once Marceline and those people close to her were involved. He knew Kira very well. He would definitely get mad at them for not respecting Marceline\'s decision. They took Grandpa Roland and turned him into a vampire without seeking Marceline\'s approval!

Raizel shot Victoria a sharp gaze. He wanted to scold her and told her that their Vampire King might also get offended by her action. However, he couldn\'t reveal yet that Kira was alive. Not now! In the meantime, he kept this fact to himself.

He promised Kira not to tell anyone from the Vampire Clan that he was back! Kira had his own plan of taking away the power from the Werewolf Clan, step by step.

They might have different strategies, but Raizel was respecting Kira\'s choice and decision. He was already satisfied that Kira came back alive!

After a while, Raizel took a deep breath to calm himself. The act has been done and couldn\'t be undone. "You turned him into a bloodsucker with no rationality. What are you going to do now?" Raizel asked Victoria in his calm tone. Finally, his anger subsided a little. They had to find a way to help Roland Zhou to regain his sane mind.

Victoria glanced at Grandpa Roland with an indescribable expression on her face. Since he had become like this, he was already useless to them. He couldn\'t influence his two grandchildren to side with the vampires. This was impossible now, given his current mental condition.

"I guess, seeing his condition, I could say that his mind and body will not be able to handle this transformation. He might eventually die. Unless you want me to include him in our bloodsucker armies! Someone who would attack and kill anyone just to satiate their hunger!"

Bloodsucker Armies were not pureblood vampires. They were other creatures (humans, werewolves, witches, and others) that were only turned into a vampire after being bitten by the pureblood.

They were more aggressive than other vampires and they couldn\'t control their urges and hunger for blood. They were beneficial to vampires as additional forces that they could use to attack the werewolves and witches without worrying about losing their comrades. They were just pawns ready to be sacrificed!

"VICTORIA!" Raizel raised his voice against her one more time.

"You. Can\'t. Do. That! Did you not hear me?! I told you… we can\'t afford to offend Roland Zhou\'s granddaughter, Marceline!"

Victoria rolled her eyes skyward and said, "Here we go again, Raizel. Who is that woman?! Why are you afraid of her? Don\'t tell me she is your lover?!" Victoria began interrogating Raizel. She couldn\'t understand why he was acting like this. General Raizel was not the kind of vampire who would be afraid of offending someone!

\'She is our Vampire King\'s lover!\' Raizel screamed in his mind but he couldn\'t voice it out right now.

"Forget it! You don\'t have to know. Just find a way to regain Roland Zhou\'s sane mind! Don\'t you ever think of making him part of our bloodsucker armies! Don\'t touch him again!" Raizel was already losing his patience. It\'s been a long time since the two of them argued like this.

His avoidance of answering her question just made Victoria more curious about that woman. She wanted to meet Marceline Zhou and find out the reason why Raizel was acting very cautiously because of her.

\'Heh! Someone I can\'t offend?! I don\'t believe him. I will see it for myself and let me decide…\' Victoria thought to herself.

In the end, Raizel and Victoria ended up with a consensus. They would lock up Roland Zhou in this chamber for the meantime while they would try to find a solution to make him recover his conscious mind!

\'Damn, what should I do? Should I tell Kira about this or keep this a secret from him while we are looking for a solution to Roland\'s condition?\' Raizel tugged his hair tightly, unable to decide.

*****

Meanwhile, in the Zhou Ancestral Mansion, Marceline and Kira were still lying on the bed, cuddling each other. They overslept because of the intense physical activities they had last night. They had sex over and over again until they satiated their hungry desires.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The two were suddenly awakened by the loud sound of the telephone. Marceline rubbed her eyes, still lazy to get up. But the noise was already bothering her sense of hearing.

Kira sat up when Marceline\'s body was removed from his arms as she got off from the bed to answer the call. His gaze just followed her sexy and hot figure while she was tracing her steps towards the telephone corner. Marceline was only wearing a white satin bathrobe and she was naked underneath that robe.

Kira had the urge to pull her back and pin her down on the bed as his flaming desire was awakened by the beautiful sight of her. Using his vampiric speed, he moved in a flash until he closed their gaps.

Marceline had just picked up the telephone when Kira hugged her from behind. He placed his chin over her shoulder, nuzzling his nose on her neck.

On the other hand, Marceline just let Kira do what he wanted while she answered the phone. It was a call from the Golden City District Hospital. Marceline recognized the voice of the nurse who was assigned to Grandpa Roland\'s private ward.

"Miss Zhou… I\'m sorry to inform you…. But we have a problem here. Your grandpa went missing!"

"What?!!"
