Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 158 [Bonus Chapter] Mama?



Marceline eyed Kira suspiciously, wondering why his expression suddenly turned ugly. Was he upset again about something?

"Kira… do you have a vampire friend?" Marceline asked him a random question to lighten his mood.

When Marceline said that, a certain vampire flashed in his mind–Raizel Uchiha, his best friend and his most trusted vampire general.

"Yes, I do have," Kira responded, his lips curling up in a faint smile. Marceline just succeeded in changing Kira's mood. He was now smiling. He didn't look upset anymore.

"Don't you want to find him and reunite with them?" Marceline had forgotten about the young boy sleeping on the ground. She was now busy talking to Kira.

"Of course, I want to find him, but I can't leave you here alone. There are lots of people trying to plot against you." Kira clenched his fists at that thought and then he continued, "Besides, I already asked someone to relay a message to my friend just in case they would cross paths. But…" Kira's scarlet eyes suddenly became dull.

"But what?" Marceline asked him with eyes filled with interest.

"I feel like I don't have the right to face him," Kira answered, smiling bitterly at her.

"Why do you think so?" Marceline probed as she wanted to hear his reason. She could see that something was troubling Kira.

"When I disappeared, I bet he suffered too much. He shouldered all the responsibilities which were supposed to be mine. If only I didn't fall in love with the wrong person then my vampire clan and I..." Kira couldn't finish his sentence. He suddenly felt the lump in his throat and his heart was still clenching whenever he would think about the past.

"It's not your fault, Ki… Your friend will understand. You might be betrayed by your… lover… but a true friend will never leave you no matter what mistakes you made in the past." Marceline gently stroked his hair, comforting him. As much as possible, she didn't want to see Kira in a gloomy mood whenever he would remember his past and the woman who betrayed him.

Kira could only smile, catching Marceline's hand as he brought her palm to his lips. Then he kissed her hand, showing his gratitude and appreciation for her consoling words.

Kira continued kissing the back of her palm when suddenly Kira felt a sharp object scratching his other hand. Then someone pushed him away from Marceline.

Both Kira and Marceline looked down only to see the young boy in his attacking stance. The little hybrid boy was now awake, suddenly scratching Kira's hand using his paws and sharp claws.

He thought Kira was trying to hurt Marceline. The young boy could tell that Kira was a vampire, the same creature who attacked him and his family.

The boy was not saying a word, but his intense gaze was enough to know his intention. He wanted Kira to stay away from Marceline and not touch her!

'What the hell is a hybrid doing here? He is half wolf and half human!' Kira asked himself while checking his bleeding hand.

Marceline, who was also surprised to see the boy fully awake, stood in her spot while eyeing the young cub amusingly. She wanted to commend this charming boy for his bravery. He didn't hesitate to attack Kira just to protect Marceline.

Kira and Marceline hadn't recovered yet from the trance when the boy spoke again, making Kira's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Mama!" He said, grabbing Marceline's hand using his cute little paws.

"Mama?" Kira gave Marceline a questioning gaze. "Are you his mother?" he asked her foolishly.

Marceline rolled her eyes skyward because of Kira's dumb question. 'Mother? Why is he still asking me this? Did he forget that he was the one who took my virginity just a few days ago?' Marceline wanted to hit Kira's head right now to make him remember it.

"He is a hybrid–"

"I know! What I am asking you is… Are you his mother?" Kira cut her off immediately.

This time Marceline squinted her eyes at him, feeling annoyed. "Let me punch your head, Kira Alaric! You are my first! Have you forgotten it? If I am his mother then you will be his father!"

Kira: "..."

Kira was at a loss for words. That made sense. There was no way Marceline would have a child since she was still a virgin when he made love with her for the first time.

On the other hand, the boy darted his gaze back and forth between Marceline and Kira. After a few seconds, the young boy spoke a single word again.

"Papa?"

Both Kira and Marceline hastily turned to the young boy, wondering if they heard it right or wrong. Did he just say "Papa"? Did he call Kira "Papa?"

The two continued assessing the boy's reaction, waiting for him to say another word. But the boy just shook his head frantically while hugging Marceline's arm tightly as if he didn't like Kira to become his father.

The young boy's behavior made Kira raise his eyebrow. 'Damn! I don't like kids. They will be a handful!'

Kira and the young hybrid boy met each other's gaze, both were glaring at each other.

"Hey, both of you, stop that! This is not a staring contest." Marceline said, sighing helplessly. "Kira, don't frighten him. He is just a kid," she added after noticing the sharp look Kira was giving the child.

"I'm not frightening him! If I wanted to, I should have revealed my fangs already!" He defended himself.

The young boy just glared at him as a response to his last remarks.

"Alright! We don't need to argue here. Ki… let's go home. Bring us home." Marceline carried the young boy in her arms, not allowing Kira to object.

The boy leaned his head on Marceline's shoulder comfortably and then he closed his eyes. He was still tired and sleepy. He was just awakened by Kira's vampire scent. He was on high alert now whenever he would smell a vampire scent in his surroundings.
