Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 224 Kira's Human Reincarnation?

Marceline was still waiting for an answer from them when Kira spoke up, breaking the silence.

"No, I didn't know them. But I saw her in the mall a few days ago. Remember me, Serena?"

Dominique's forehead creased when he heard that. He glanced at his wife with a questioning gaze. Serena didn't mention anything about meeting someone who looked like Kira.

'Why did she hide it from me?' Dominique wondered to himself. He tried his best to control his rage.

Meanwhile, Serena could only bite her lower lip. She felt guilty for hiding it from Dominique. She thought it was best for them not to talk about Kira so she decided not to tell him. Besides, she thought the man she saw a few days ago only had the same face as Kira, the Vampire King.

"Oh, this is just a small world after all," Marceline said to lighten the atmosphere. She could feel it– the heavy air surrounding them.

Serena and Dominique maintained their smiles as they didn't want to make Marceline uncomfortable.

It did not take long when the food was served to their table. The five of them started eating silently. Serena and Dominique were secretly observing Kira.

On the other hand, Kira did his best to ignore Serena and Dominique. He focused on Marceline and Little Lowell, acting as a good husband and a father.

He was very attentive to Marceline, feeding her food. He was acting very sweetly towards Marceline, wiping the sauce on her lips, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, and leaning closer to her as he whispered to her.

Serena and Dominique lost their appetite just watching the sweet gestures of the three. What if Marceline was their daughter? What if this Kira Alaric was the reincarnation of the Vampire King? Dominique and Serena didn't want the two to be together!

"Sweety, do you want more fruit or do you prefer the chocolate cake?" Kira asked her, intentionally flaunting his public display of affection in front of Dominique and Serena. Deep inside, he was trying to test how Serena would react.

And he got the reaction he wanted to see from her– annoyance and irritation. 'Is she jealous? Her expression looks so gloomy… including Dominique…' Kira smiled inwardly.

He was aware that Dominique and Serena were watching him. They were trying to figure out if he was the Vampire King, after all, he had the same name and same face. The only thing was that they couldn't sense his power and couldn't smell his vampire scent.

"I'm full, Ki," Marceline responded. She could sense that Kira was acting strangely tonight. She felt odd as if something was not right. Though Kira was very attentive to her, she caught him stealing glances at Serena.

Marceline had to admit that Serena was a stunning woman. She's beautiful. Surprisingly, both of them had emerald eyes.

"Excuse me… I'm just going to the comfort room," Serena stood up and left.

Dominique also excused himself as he followed Serena. He had complicated emotions on his face as he watched their backs. He also had the urge to follow the couple.

"Ki, is there something wrong?" Marceline suddenly asked him when she saw her looking in the direction where Serena and Dominique had disappeared to.

Kira smiled at Marceline awkwardly and said, "No. Everything is fine. Here… eat this. You become thinner as compared to before."

Little Lowell also put some desserts on Marceline's plate. Just like Kira, Little Lowell noticed that Marceline lost some weight.

"Both of you… are you trying to make me fat?" Marceline said exasperatedly, seeing her plate filled with brownies, chocolate cake, and assorted fruits.

Kira and Little Lowell bobbed their heads as a response.

Marceline: "..."

*****

Meanwhile, Serena had just come out of the Lady's comfort room when a large hand already grabbed her, pulling her into the corner.

"Niq? What are you doing here?" Serena asked him, her heart beating so fast because of nervousness. She could see in his eyes that Dominique was furious right now.

"Why did you hide it from me? You saw that man in the mall but you hadn't told me anything!" Dominique's firm and cold voice was heard.

"I–" Serena didn't know what to say. She was afraid to speak up because of Dominique's frightening look.

"Is he the Vampire King? Are you trying to hide his existence from me?" Dominique could no longer control himself.

He pushed her, pinning her on the wall. He lost his cool just thinking about Kira and Serena meeting each other behind his back. Well, the jealousy was clouding his mind and he couldn't think rationally.

"Niq, let go. You are hurting me. Please don't misunderstand. I just met him in the mall. And I didn't think he was Kira. He is dead. So I just decided not to bring the topic up." Serena tried to explain.

But Dominique was too angry to listen. His grip tightened on her wrist, his eyes ablaze.

"I'm going to kill him!" He declared through his gritted teeth.

"No! Don't hurt him!" Serena panicked so she said something she was not supposed to. Because of this, Dominique's anger escalated further.

"Ahuh! So you care about him!"

Dominique raised his hand to hit Serena on her face. Serena could only close her eyes. But before his fist could hit her, someone grabbed it, thus stopping it in mid-air.

"Mr. Dominique, it's uncivilized and inappropriate to hit a woman…, especially your wife."

Serena and Dominique were utterly astounded when they saw Kira. He was the one who intervened and stopped Dominique from hurting Serena.

'He… stopped me.' Dominique's eyes went round. He couldn't believe that this Kira was strong enough to hold his arm and stop his movement. 'He is the Vampire King.'

Dominique and Kira stared at each other for several seconds, not looking away. Serena could only watch them, feeling anxious.

'Why is he emanating this aura…? Don't tell me he is the Vampire King.'

Dominique was about to attack Kira when they heard another voice at the back.

"What's going on here?"
