Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 14 Meeting The Tigress

"Serafino, continue your search for Raizel. Spread the word to all the vampires you will meet that the Vampire King, Kira Alaric, is alive to boost the morale of our fellow vampires." Kira gave him this important task for the sake of their kind.

"I will do as you say, my Lord." Serafino accepted this task with a hopeful heart.

He would look forward to the time when the vampire clan would rise again in the Kingdom of Phantasia.

"How about you, my Lord? What are you planning to do now?" Serafino politely asked Kira's thoughts.

"I will look for the gatekeepers. I can't locate the portals going back to the Kingdom Phantasia."

Serafino's expression suddenly became gloomy at the mention of gatekeepers. Kira took notice of his reaction, wondering what was the cause of this sorrowful mood surrounding him.

"The gatekeepers of the three portals are now under Dominique's power and influence. Only the gatekeepers of the Northern Gate Portal refused to obey Dominique's command. They were the ones who helped us pass through the portal as we escaped from Kingdom Phantasia."

Kira had never imagined that Dominique Silvano would gain great power, and different allies after taking over his position.

The witches and gatekeepers were now on his side. The vampire clan was truly at a great disadvantage as of now.

"I should thank the gatekeepers of the Northern Gate Portal for helping the vampires. Where can I find them?" Kira asked him expectantly.

Gatekeepers were just ordinary humans. So he admired them for standing up for the vampires while going against Dominique Silvano.

"The gatekeepers of Northern Gate Portal are known now as Zhou Clan. The Zhou family is residing in this country, my Lord. However, I heard that the last gatekeepers of the Zhou Clan were murdered eighteen years ago."

Kira slammed his eyes shut in rage when he heard that unfortunate news.

"I am not sure if the other members of the Zhou family have already sworn loyalty to the Werewolf King."

Serafino lowered his gaze as he could feel the chilly aura emanating from his King.

The two of them fell silent for a few moments. Then amidst the deafening silence, Kira suddenly blurted out someone's name.

"Marceline Celeste Zhou…"

The cold and chilly aura was long gone. It was replaced by Kira's cheerful and excited mood.

"I wonder if she is a member of the Zhou Family, the gatekeeper of the Northern Gate Portal…" Kira murmured to himself.

Serafino gazed at Kira with amusement. He blinked his eyes several times trying to figure out whether he was just imagining things or not. Kira's mood suddenly changed after mentioning a woman's name.

"My Lord, what are you thinking?" Serafino asked him meekly.

Kira glanced back at him, grinning from ear to ear.

"I think I don't need to look for the gatekeepers. I already found one. Serafino, go now and do your mission. Once you see Raizel, tell him to meet me on this mountain peak during the full moon."

Serafino nodded his head before picking something inside his pocket.

"My Lord, use this sun protection spell. And this is my phone. You can communicate with me any time using a mobile phone."

Kira accepted the mobile phone and looked at him confusedly. He had no idea what this mobile phone was.

Serafino smiled at Kira awkwardly. It seemed like their Vampire King was not yet used to this modern technology. He was not yet aware of this so-called mobile phone.

Serafino was now getting worried about Kira. 'Will he be fine if I leave him alone in this modern world?'

Serafino gave Kira a brief overview of the use of mobile phones. He gave him his phone so that he could easily contact him for updates.

When they were done discussing their plan, Kira stood up and traced his steps toward the unconscious witch and werewolves. Serafino was following him behind.

"My Lord, if you will allow me… I want to kill them using my own hands."

But Kira shook his head in objection. "We don't have to kill them, Serafino. Instead, we can use them. Just leave them to me. I have a plan set on them already."

"Apology for my actions, my Lord. I understand your motive now. Please do as necessary. I will not interfere with your plan."

Kira was planning to put those three under his mind control power. In the future, he would be able to use them as a spy. He also needed the power of the witch to create more sun protection spells and potions.

The werewolves enslaved the vampires for a long time. Now Kira would not let go of this opportunity to make use of these traitors for their own benefits as well.

When they were done wrapping things up in the forest, Kira and Serafino bid their farewell to each other for the time being. They would meet each other again. He hoped that once it happened, Raizel would also be there to meet him.

Kira looked at the night sky. The moon and the stars were shining brightly tonight. The last time he watched this beautiful scenery was also the time he was betrayed and was put into his slumber.

He was given a second chance. Now he would redeem himself and would not allow to commit the same mistake in the past.

His goal was to bring the glory back to the vampire clan. And tonight would be his starting point.

A glowing smile was formed from the corners of his lips as he thought of someone he needed to see.

"Hmm, time to meet the Tigress once again. I shall introduce myself properly this time."

Kira was thinking about Marceline. He speculated that the Zhou Clan might have something to do with his survival. He didn't know what happened after he was put to sleep.

But surprisingly, he woke up in the land of the humans. His body was protected and kept in a mansion owned by the Zhou Family. Dominique, the Werewolf King, assumed that he was already dead but here he was still alive and kicking.
