Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Silvano's Villa… ]

Thirty elite werewolf fighters arrived at Silvano's mansion. Cedrick sent them over to serve as royal guards of the Werewolf King and the Werewolf Queen.

Cedrick was already in the Northern Gate Portal preparing everything for the return of the leader of werewolves to the Kingdom of Phantasia.

The gatekeepers, Enrique and Natasha were summoned to the Northleaf Timberland Forest where the portal gate was located.

As everyone was occupied, Marceline stayed in the mansion, still anxious about the strange dream she had this morning.

Lyca had observed her best friend and she could tell that Marceline was troubled by something. She approached her. The two ladies had private time together because Dylan was taking care of Little Lowell.

"Celeste, are you okay?" Lyca asked her, holding her hands. "Are you sad because of Kira? Will you miss him?" After mentioning Kira's name, Lyca covered her mouth. She had forgotten that she was not supposed to mention his name.

But little did she know, Marceline and Kira already made up last night!  Marceline could only smile after seeing her best friend's reaction.

"I'm sorry. I will not mention his name again." Lyca apologized.

Marceline just shook her head. "It's fine." She leaned closer to Lyca and whispered. "Kira and I have already reconciled. We cleared our misunderstanding."

"Really? I'm glad to hear that!" Lyca excitedly pounced on her best friend. She was so happy for her. She could tell that Marceline was so in love with Kira.

"So what's troubling you, my dear friend?" She asked her again.

"It's about my dream. I had this strange dream, Lyca. I'm worried that it was a vision… and it might happen…" Marceline opened up to her friend.

"What dream?"

"I tried… to kill Kira…" Marceline clenched her fists. That dream felt so real as if it truly happened. "I have no control of my body, as if someone put me under a spell. I didn't want to attack him but my body was moving on its own accord."

"Don't think too much about it, Marceline. It might be the result of your paranoia because you are not together for now. Just think positive, okay? I know you love Kira so you will never hurt him." Lyca tried to console her friend.

Marceline just nodded her head. She just hoped that there was no deeper meaning behind her dream… or her nightmare.

It did not take long when Dylan and Little Lowell joined them. The young hybrid boy seemed like enjoying Dylan's company. They played outside for several hours.

Since Dylan was already missing his mate, he requested Little Lowell to enter the mansion. He immediately talked to Marceline through their mind link.

'Sister, can I borrow your best friend for a while? I want to talk to my mate.' Dylan asked Marceline's permission.

Marceline could relate to Dylan's feelings. She knew how he felt since his mate was closed by. She immediately agreed to her twin brother's request.

'Okay, Bro. You can take her away. Just don't scare her away, okay?'

Dylan laughed at his twin sister's remarks. Of course, he would do his best not to scare Lyca. He still had to win her over.

"Lyca, do you have some minutes? Can you come with me?" Dylan asked her softly, flashing his charming smile. Lyca could see that Dylan was still recovering from the vampires' attack.

Since she was also worried about him, Lyca didn't refuse him this time. She obediently followed him upstairs. She wondered what Dylan would tell her.

"Honestly, I'm still surprised knowing that you are my best friend's twin brother. You don't look similar." Lyca started the conversation first to ease the awkwardness between them.

Dylan couldn't contain his smile. He appreciated it that Lyca was the first one who opened a conversation while they were walking in the hallway.

"Honestly, I didn't expect that I would see you again so soon. And I thought I would never see you…"

Lyca stopped walking when she heard that. She grabbed his elbow, tugging him so that Dylan would turn around to look at her.

"Why did you say that?" Lyca asked him worriedly.

Dylan's smile was still plastered on his gorgeous face. But there was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he recalled that crucial moment.

"Because I thought… I was going to die in the hands of the vampires. When I was being attacked by them, and severely injured, you were in my mind. I am more afraid of not seeing you again than my death." Dylan shared his feelings with her.

Lyca was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time she heard this very sincere sentiment from a man. And she could tell that he was telling the truth. She could feel his profound love for her.

She didn't expect that Dylan's feelings for her were so deep. When she was dating Enrique, he had never made her feel like this before. At least, in Dylan's eyes, she was so special. And Lyca felt so touched because of that.

"Thank you, Dylan…" Lyca suddenly mumbled, looking down. She avoided gazing at him as she tried to hide her reddened cheeks. She was blushing.

"Huh? Why are you thanking me?" Dylan asked her in puzzlement. "I should be the one thanking you. You became a good friend of my twin sister. You were there for her when I was not around. You took care of her when I failed to do that as her brother."

At this moment, Lyca raised her head and glanced at Dylan, meeting his eyes.

"Thank you… for staying alive. My best friend will be sad if you died," Lyca said, smiling faintly. "I will also feel sad," she murmured. But Dylan heard her because of his super sense of hearing.

Dylan's face brightened up. He felt like his werewolf's tail was wagging right now. Because of too much happiness, Dylan grabbed Lyca, pulling her against his body as he hugged her tight.

"Lyca… I miss you so much…"

After saying that, Dylan lifted her chin as he lowered his head. His lips instinctively found hers, sealing her lips with a passionate kiss.

Lyca: "..."
