Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 120 White Pill

"WHAT? Cedric did that to you?!!" Grandpa Roland's eyes flickered with hate and rage. A werewolf tried to harm his beloved granddaughter.

'Are they still not satisfied by killing my eldest son and his wife to suppress and control the Zhou Family? Now, they want my granddaughter?' Grandpa Roland closed his fingers into fists, gnashing his teeth.

"Yes, grandpa. He asked someone to spike my drinks. So I can no longer tolerate this, Grandpa. I don't know why you are still associating yourselves with those people. They are cunning and dangerous."

Marceline didn't hide her disappointment and displeasure as to why her family kept maintaining the relationship with the werewolves. They should hate them instead!

Grandpa Roland stared at Marceline with a meaningful look as if reminding her not to mention anything about werewolves and other creatures in front of Kira. He thought Kira was just an ordinary human.

But later on, he was puzzled how Kira was able to save Marceline in the hands of Cedric Morgan, a strong alpha.

Meanwhile, Marceline chose not to tell her grandfather that her Uncle was also involved in that evil scheme. Ronan was the only child left by his grandfather so she didn't want to create a dispute between the father and son duo.

But another scheme from her Uncle, Marceline would no longer be merciful towards him. If he would do something bad again, then Marceline would certainly retaliate next time!

"I will not let this slide. I will do something about this. Just leave it to me." He paused and turned to Kira with an indescribable expression on his face. "Fortunately, Cedric Morgan didn't kill your bodyguard. He has the capability to do so."

"He is now my husband, Grandpa," Marceline simply corrected her grandfather. "Of course, we ran and escaped, that's why we managed to stay alive," she added.

Grandpa Roland tossed a look at Kira. He looked powerful for a man but he had no idea that Kira was a vampire. Marceline didn't know how his grandfather would react if he learned that he married a vampire, a mortal enemy of the werewolf clan.

It was better to hide Kira's identity from her grandfather so that he would not be implicated if the werewolf clan would find out that Marceline was helping and sheltering a vampire. The Silvano Clan would not tolerate it.

For them, any person who would help an enemy even just for an act of benevolence would also be considered an enemy of the werewolf clan.

"Kira, what do you think of my granddaughter?" Patriarch Zhou diverted the topic as he didn't want Marceline to get involved with his fight against the werewolf clan.

He already received a notice from the Vampire Clan that Victoria Bancroft would come to Golden City soon on behalf of General Raizel. He would ask the vampire for assistance and help for the protection of his family, most especially Marceline.

"Chairman Zhou, your granddaughter is such a charming and intelligent woman. As her husband, I will take full responsibility for her, including her protection and safety. I assure you that, Chairman Zhou." Kira meant every word he said.

Grandpa Roland just heaved a sigh of defeat. He knew that he couldn't stay upset at Marceline for long. Her marriage was too sudden. She didn't even consult him. But what's done is done. They couldn't turn back time.

Besides, he felt somehow responsible for her rash decision. He even tried to use the arranged marriage with Silvano Clan to their advantage, preparing for the vampires' surprise attack.

Since there would be no wedding to happen, Grandpa Roland had to change strategy and plot another concrete plan as they looked for another opportunity.

"We have to prepare a grand wedding for both of you. I would not settle for this simple signing ceremony of your marriage certificates. A wedding is very important for a woman. And you are a member of the Zhou Family so you deserve to have a grand wedding!"

"I won't take no from you, Marceline! This time you must concede to what your grandfather wants for you!" Grandpa Roland insisted.

"Okay, Grandpa! It's a deal so don't be upset anymore," Marceline cheerfully said. She walked closer to her grandpa as she hooked her arm around his.

Grandpa could only stroke Marceline's hair. He could never win against her. He would always raise his white flag whenever Marceline would use her charm and act sweetly towards her grandfather.

Not forgetting about Kira's presence, Grandpa Roland said, "Welcome to the Zhou Family, Mr. Alaric. Take good care of my Baby Marceline."

'Why is his surname a little bit familiar to me? I forgot when and where I heard that name before.' Grandpa Roland to himself, rubbing his chin as he tried to remember. But to no avail, he had forgotten about it.

No one had been mentioning Kira Vladamirovich Alaric for the past hundred years in the human world. New generations of gatekeepers might have forgotten about the name of the previous Vampire King.

"Grandpa, I'm an adult now. Don't call me baby!" Marceline complained to her grandpa, pouting her lips.

"Yes, sir! Thank you for accepting me as Marceline's husband. I will do my best to satisfy my wife and make her happy!" The way he said it seemed like they were not just pretending.

"Cough! Cough!" Marceline choked on her saliva when she heard the words 'satisfy my wife'. It had a double meaning to her and her lewd mind took her somewhere making her blush in the process.

Both men just let out a soft chuckle after seeing Marceline's blushing but adorable

expression.

"Hmm, good. I don't mind having a great-grandchild soon," The old man said while grinning from ear to ear.

Marceline: "..."

Kira: "..."

The two were rendered speechless. Having a child of their own was not in their mind yet. Marceline wanted to find the truth about her parents' death and avenge them while Kira wanted to bring the glory back to the vampire clan and defeat the werewolf clan.

On the other hand, Grandpa Roland might be smiling for now but he was already thinking of a way to punish or get even at Cedric Morgan who tried to force her granddaughter to sleep with him.

'Cedric Morgan… you can't bully my granddaughter. No one is allowed to bully my precious granddaughter. You will pay your debt double when the right time comes.'

"Marceline, I apologize for setting you up with a member of the Silvano Family for an arranged marriage. Please forgive this old man." He made sure to ask forgiveness from her. He knew how she was greatly affected by it.

"It's fine, Grandpa. I know Uncle Ronan was the one who brought this up to you first. Cedric Morgan might have influenced Uncle at that time. Let's just forget about it and move on."

After talking everything out with her grandpa and sorting things between them, Marceline and Kira left his office. They were glad that Patriarch Zhou didn't object to their sudden marriage.

Upon leaving his office, Marceline's super sense of hearing was activated once again. She could hear the voices of the employees nearby, even the sound of different things and other movements around them.

Her eardrums couldn't adjust to those different sounds that were already mixed in her head. While they were walking in the hallway going to her Department Office, she stopped in her tracks, covering her ears.

"Ugh! It's too noisy!" Marceline uttered in discomfort. Her brain was whirling as she suddenly felt lightheaded. Soon, she became more uncomfortable as her headache worsened further.

Kira already held her shoulders, supporting her from the back. "Are you alright? You don't look well." Kira suddenly felt worried about her.

He turned her around so that she would be facing him now. Then he pressed his hands over the back of her palm, helping her to cover her ears. He could see the discomfort in her expression alone.

"Ki… I want to go to a quiet place… this place… it's too noisy. Argh! My head hurts!" Marceline grunted and complained, resting her forehead on his sturdy chest as she leaned her body towards him.

Kira had complicated emotions while looking at her. He didn't know how he would make her feel comfortable, easing her discomfort.

'Stella, control your super ability. It is hurting her.' Kira tried to communicate with Marceline's wolf, hoping she would be able to hear him. Kira pulled Marceline into a tight hug.

They were in the middle of the hallway when Aunt Brianna approached them. She just came right in time as she saw Marceline feeling unwell.

"What happened to her?" Aunt Brianna asked Kira while looking at Marceline worriedly.

Hearing her familiar voice, Marceline raised her head and turned to the side to see Aunt Brianna. With a pitiful look in her eyes, Marceline told her, "Aunt Bri… I'm hearing things. My head and my eardrums hurt… There is so much noise in this place." Marceline spoke to Aunt Bri like a little sick child talking to her mother as she told her what she was currently feeling right now.

Aunt Brianna immediately took Marceline's medicine. The small bottle contained white pills. It was similar to the pills the White Witch gave to Dylan for the preparation of his journey to the human world. Those pills were created to control and seal the wolf inside them.

"Here, try to take this pill." Aunt Brianna handed the small bottle over to Marceline which she gladly accepted. She took one pill. Just a few seconds after, Marceline suddenly fainted, Kira catching her in his arms.
