Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 149 Incomplete Transformation

Marceline was not in her full transformation yet. She was half wolf and half human right now as some of her body parts were covered by white fur but she was still in her human form.

She also noticed that her stab wounds were healed completely. She had been studying and researching werewolves so she was familiar with some of their powers and abilities.

She knew about the healing ability of the werewolf. With her current situation, realization had dawned on her. She recalled every detail of strange things happening to her for the past several years.

Her blackouts, her allergies, her extraordinary strength, her strange behavior during the full moon, and just recently, her super sense of smell and hearing– all of these led to one conclusion. She became a werewolf!

'NOOO! THIS COULDN'T BE! I don't want to become one of them! I loathe werewolves so much!'

Marceline shook her head frantically. Her mind was in shambles and her heart was breaking into pieces. She was devastated by this discovery.

She didn't expect that this day would come. She finally saw herself slowly turning into a wolf. This time she's conscious and Stella didn't take over her mind.

A faint mark also appeared at the back of her neck– the crescent moon. It was the birthmark Dylan was looking for. It only manifested after she turned into this half-wolf form.

Marceline slammed her eyes shut while clenching her teeth. She hated this. She hated the beast inside her. She felt like she was the monster who killed her parents. They died because they tried to save her. They should have left her and never gone back.

"I should be the one to die, not them!" Marceline punched her chest with her closed fist. Her tears began to fall from the corner of her eyes. She was in so much pain right now– an emotional pain.

She thought she didn't deserve to live anymore. "I'd rather die than be a monster like them!"

Marceline opened her eyes and stood up. She couldn't accept this fate. She didn't want to. She was in emotional turmoil which led her to do something she was not supposed to do– Killing herself!

Yes! Marceline planned to commit suicide by drowning herself in the river. Her hatred towards werewolves clouded her judgment. Just a while ago, she wanted to live and survive for her grandfather and her parents. But now, she had forgotten her goal as she wanted to kill her own self.

She was inching closer and closer to the river when suddenly a familiar voice resounded in the area.

"Marceline!" Kira who had just transformed back to his human form screamed her name. He landed just a few steps away from her.

Marceline's mind was so occupied that she failed to notice Kira's arrival. She continued stepping forward, her body already submerged in the cold water.

She could no longer feel the coldness as her heart had become numb. She just wanted to disappear at this moment.

However, before she could take another step, Marceline was engulfed by two large hands, pulling her out of the water. Then she just felt Kira turning her around to face him.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Kira asked her worriedly, scanning her body as he checked for her wounds. He saw it after reading the culprit's mind. Marceline was stabbed several times in her stomach.

On the other hand, Marceline just stood there, not saying a word. She didn't know what to say to Kira. She knew that Kira hated werewolves too. She wondered how he would react after seeing her in this form.

She tried to push him away and turned around, hiding her face from him. "Go away, Kira!" Marceline covered her face using both hands. "Don't come near me. Just leave!"

Complicated emotions flashed in Kira's eyes as he saw Marceline's current state. He had just noticed that Marceline hadn't completed her wolf transformation. She was still half human and half werewolf.

'Does it mean… she already learned the truth about herself?'

Kira wanted to comfort her. He could imagine how shocked and shaken she was after knowing the truth that she turned into a werewolf… a creature she loathed the most.

"Marceline–"

"Stop! I'm not the Marceline you knew before. I'm a monster! I've become the beast I hate the most…" Marceline interrupted Kira's words as she tried to send him away.

"Can't you see it? I'm a werewolf now!!!" Marceline pushed him hard, causing Kira to fall to the ground. He was caught off guard by Marceline's strength.

'She's very strong.' Kira thought to himself, getting back on his feet. He was staring at her with an astounded expression.

He didn't know what Marceline was trying to do but he knew he had to talk to her and calm her down. He didn't want to see her like this– hating her own self.

"Marceline, listen to me. This is not your fault. You didn't ask for this to happen. Don't hate yourself. You are not the one who killed your parents but those who turned you into this."

Marceline shook her head. "Are you blind, Kira? I… I'm a werewolf now! Are you not afraid of me? Don't you hate me? Are you not worried that we might end up fighting and hating each other?"

'We can no longer be together… I know how much you hate werewolves too.' Marceline added to her thoughts. She didn't dare to say it out loud. She loved Kira but now, she became more afraid that he would not love her back as she turned into a werewolf.

Kira could no longer bear to see her like this. In a flash, he closed their gaps, hugging Marceline from behind. "No! I don't hate you! We will not fight each other, but instead we will keep on protecting each other. You saved me, Marceline… when you were in your wolf form. We fought the werewolves together… you and I! We fought Cedric and his men!"

Marceline was taken aback when she heard that. This is another revelation!
