Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

The cloaked woman who resembled Selene so much was looking straight in his eyes, expressionless. Kira couldn't figure out what's running through her mind.

If she was indeed Selene, then this was the first time he saw her blank expression while staring at him. The love and affection were long gone, only coldness was left.

Her face might be exactly the same as Selene but she seemed to be a completely different person.

The girl who was pinned down on the ground immediately grabbed the chance that Kira was still in a trance. She gripped her silver dagger tightly and plunged it into his chest near his beating heart.

Kira was not able to move nor react. His mind was in shambles while his heart was in great turmoil because of the raging emotions that were surging inside of him. He couldn't believe this.

The girl who looked like Selene just stabbed his chest.

"Who are you? Are you really my Selene?" He finally found his voice to speak up.

Kira could feel it. He was already losing his life force. There was something in the silver dagger that made him feel so weak.

"I'm sorry, Ki," she mumbled with no hint of emotions at all.

His heart broke into tiny pieces when he heard that familiar voice. He refused to believe the truth but the woman before him was indeed Selene, his beloved woman.

'Is this a work of a witch? Is my Selene under a spell? Why is she doing this?'

Kira was still holding on to that tiny hope, wishing that Selene was doing this against her will. He hoped that someone was just manipulating and controlling her mind.

However, the moment he looked into her eyes, he could tell that Selene was not under a spell. He couldn't sense any external force affecting her right now.

He tried to check it again by using his mind control and mind reading power. But it was just a futile move since in the land of Phantasia, only Selene could not be penetrated or affected by his mind control ability. He couldn't even read her mind even though he was the strongest creature among them.

Kira recalled the warning given to him by the eldest vampire alive. He told him to be cautious and wary of Selene because she might pose a threat in the future since he couldn't read her mind. She might become a great nemesis against Kira, the Vampire King.

But Kira just ignored that warning and took it for granted since Selene was his beloved woman. He thought that there was no way Selene would become his enemy since they loved each other.

'Do we really love each other? Or did she just make me believe those lies?'

Now, reality hit him so hard, seeing his beloved woman trying to harm and kill him with her own hands.

"Why?" Kira asked her weakly, still holding the dagger buried in his chest. He sat on the ground just a few inches away from her.

The tears of sadness and pain just suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes.

"Is this your surprise to me, My Lady?" Kira asked her but Selene just remained laying on the ground while staring at the night sky.

"Yes, that's her surprise for you, Kira, do you like her surprise?" A newcomer arrived, answering Kira's question on Selene's behalf.

A cold glint flickered on Kira's eyes when he saw the man.

"Dominique Silvano," Kira muttered his name through his gritted teeth.

Dominique slowly walked towards them with a triumphant smile on his face. He glanced at Kira with mockery and shook his head in disappointment.

"I didn't know that the strongest vampire could be easily deceived by a woman. Hahahaha. Don't blame me, Kira. Your downfall is entirely your fault."

Selene slammed her eyes shut and clenched her fists as a single tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

Kira didn't notice it as he was looking at Dominique Silvano, the Leader of the Silvano Clan from the oldest family of the Werewolf Clan.

Dominique and his Werewolf clan had been wanting to rule this land. Werewolves and Vampires were sworn enemies. They have been fighting and competing with each other for so long.

A duel happened between Kira, the strongest vampire, and Dominique, the strongest werewolf. The great battle lasted for 60 days before it ended wherein Kira was declared as the victor. Dominique was utterly defeated and had sworn allegiance to Kira.

The fights among different creatures in the land of Phantasia ended when Kira became the King. He reunited everyone through the peace treaty.

"Kira… Are you wondering why Selene betrayed you? Since Selene refused to tell you the truth, shall I give you the answer and enlighten your mind?" Dominique was looking at him with a treacherous smile painted on his face.

Kira remained silent. He desired to know the reason but he didn't want to hear it from Dominique. He preferred to hear it from Selene.

"Selene is my Luna! She belongs to the werewolf clan! She is destined to be the Queen of the Werewolf Clan," Dominique laughed sardonically after revealing the truth.

'How is that possible? Her scent is different from a werewolf? How come I didn't realize it?' Kira glanced at Selene with his questioning gaze. He was clenching his fist tightly.

Seeing her expression, Kira already knew that he would never hear an answer from her. He could only sigh in defeat.

Kira could feel that sooner his life force would be consumed. He didn't want to waste his remaining time talking to this cunning man Dominique Silvano.

"If you want to be the King of this Land, then be it. I don't care anymore."

After saying that, Kira lay down on the ground beside Selene. Just like her, he looked up at the night sky.

He smiled but his eyes were filled with sadness and bitterness. With his remaining strength, he reached out to hold Selene's hand for one last time.

"See… I told you. You are the strongest one. If this is your will then it will be done. But can you promise me one thing? If ever… just ever… we meet again in another life. I doubt if there will be another life for me," Kira said while chuckling dryly.

He knew this was his end. He was already weakened and Dominique would make sure that he would be put in his eternal slumber soon.

Dominique was already holding the stake in his hand. A wooden stake through his heart and he would be forever gone.

"If ever we meet again… don't you dare approach me… Make sure that you will stay away from me... because I might end up killing you… and I don't want that to happen."

After saying that, Kira squeezed her hand and slowly closed his eyes, silently uttering another wish from the stars and the silver moon.

What wish did he ask from the stars? No one knew but only him.
