Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 339 Back To The Palace



The White Witch and other wizards and witches prepared a short ritual for this blood compact. Every creature was required to share blood with everyone and drink them. A giant magical bowl was put at the center, near the Moon Goddess. Each creature should share a drop of their blood inside that magical bowl.

A few moments later, the ritual started. The Werewolf King and the Vampire King were the first creatures who drank blood from the magical bowl then everyone followed.

When the ritual was done, the Moon Goddess made another announcement. "Now, let\'s go back to the palace to prepare for a banquet and for the upcoming wedding of the century! We will also invite the gatekeepers to attend our banquet tonight and the wedding."

Enjoying the moment of peace, all the creatures headed back to the palace, along with their Clan Leaders and the Moon Goddess. Dylan made sure to fetch his mate, Lyca, from the forest, bringing her back to the palace.

The vampire elders and werewolf elders were gathered in the palace hall along with the hybrids and witches. The Moon Goddess requested the White Witch to oversee the banquet. She went to talk to Dominique privately. Meanwhile, Serafino and Gisel were tasked to bring the human gatekeepers from the four families to the palace. The following were the gatekeepers: Zhou Family (Northern Gate Portal), Spencer Family (Southern Gate Portal), Fuhua Family (Western Gate Portal), and Shen Family (Eastern Gate Portal).

But Kira made sure that Serafino would bring the people close to Marceline, also known as Princess Stella. Marceline\'s physical appearance returned to her original face. Selene\'s face was gone. But her identity as Selene Anathasia would always remain in her heart.

Besides, Kira didn\'t care about her appearance. He was already happy and contented knowing that Marceline and Selene were the same person.

Inside the Werewolf King\'s chamber, two figures were standing on the balcony. The Moon Goddess was talking to the Werewolf King.

"Do you have any regrets?" She asked him.

Dominique smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. I have. I regretted rejecting my mate, Selene. At first, I thought my ego was hurt when I saw her happy with Kira. I severed our bond. But I still felt jealous. I hated them. But I know it was my fault."

"But then again, Serena came into my life. I convinced myself that I would no longer be affected by Selene. Then later on, I finally fell in love with Serena… for real. But my guilt consumed my heart because I couldn\'t tell her… I was the reason why her twin sister died. All my life… I lived in lies. And thank you for helping me realize my mistakes and for giving me another chance… to have a fresh start with my family." Dominique sounded so sincere.

"I\'m glad you learned something from your past. You are my child. It\'s my task as your mother to make you realize your wrongs. I won\'t give up on you, my child." The Moon Goddess embraced Dominique.

"I\'ve always thought you\'ve forsaken me. But I was wrong. You were always patient with me. You waited for me to be enlightened and reflect on my sins. Thank you, Moon Goddess. My mother."

Marceline and Serena saw this heartwarming scene between Dominique and the Moon Goddess. They decided not to disturb them so they turned around to leave. The two ladies were holding each other hands as they walked in the palace hallway.

"What should I call you? My sister or my daughter?" Serena joked while giggling.

Marceline also let out a soft giggle and responded, "Both… you can be my mother and my sister."

"But you were the one who always protected me…" Serena\'s expression changed. She suddenly became emotional. Marceline stopped walking and grabbed her shoulders, making Serena face her.

"Because I love you… I promised our parents that I would take care of you. But I think… you\'ve gotten stronger. I\'m so proud of you, Mother. And I am glad that this war has ended. We can do anything we want. No more hatred." Marceline caressed Serena\'s face.

Serena bobbed her head. "Yes. No more hatred."

"I\'m going to miss you… After the wedding, I have to leave the Kingdom of Phantasia." There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. She had been living in this kingdom. She was afraid that she would have difficulty living in the human world.

But Marceline tried to console her. "I\'m going to visit you in the human world. And you have nothing to worry about. The humans are nice. You can easily get along with them. Trust me. Besides, Dominique will be with you. He will protect you."

Serena just bobbed her head. "Thank you, Marceline. That\'s a promise. I will wait for you in the human world…"

"Mother, Auntie!" Little Lowell\'s voice interrupted the two. When they looked in his direction, they saw Kira smiling at them while carrying Little Lowell in his arms.

"Little Lowell got bored with my company. He insisted to see his mother and auntie." Kira explained to them. Kira put Lowell down and the child immediately ran in Marceline\'s direction. He hugged his mother. Then he greeted his Aunt politely.

Kira also approached them, kissing Marceline on her forehead before pulling her into a hug.

"I will leave our son in your care. I will just go and talk to my best friend, Raizel, and Victoria."

"Okay. Ki… I\'ll see you in the Banquet Hall in a while." Marceline hugged him back before she let go of him.

Kira turned to leave as he headed to the left wing of the Palace where Raizel and Victoria were waiting for him.

"Kira!" Raizel called his best friend with an elated voice. It\'s been so long since the last time they gathered in this palace.

"Rai!" Kira closed their gaps and hugged his best friend. Victoria could only roll her eyes as she watched the two men. "If not for Marceline, I would think the two of you are in a relationship!" Victoria commented, making the two men chuckle.

"Are you jealous? Kira never hugs you!" Raizel mumbled, teasing Victoria.

Victoria glared at Raizel sharply as she hissed at him. "Shut your mouth, Raizel!"

Kira\'s laughter bubbled up in the area. "Are you two having a lovers\' quarrel?"

Victoria: "No WAY!"

Raizel: "Of course, not! We are not Lovers!"

"Calm down. I\'m just kidding!" Kira raised his hands as if he was surrendering. "Anyway. What do you want to say to me?"

Raizel and Victoria exchanged glances with one another. They were signaling each other who would speak first.

In the end, Victoria was forced to speak first. "I want to apologize to you, Kira. I didn\'t believe you. I thought you betrayed our clan. But I was wrong. I\'m so sorry for judging you and Selene. I will accept any punishment you will give me." Victoria lowered her head, not looking into his eyes.

Kira moved closer to her and stroked her hair. "I forgive you. But I also want to commend you. I know you only think of the safety of our fellow vampires. You did everything to protect them against the werewolves. You and Raizel are worthy to become my Vampire Generals…"

Victoria didn\'t expect to hear such praise from Kira. She thought he would reprimand her and punish her for what she had done.

"Thank you, our King! I don\'t deserve such praise. But I truly appreciate it." Victoria\'s heart was touched. This was the first time Kira acknowledged her. Now, she accepted that Kira would never be her man. But she already felt happy with this turn of events.

"Now, it\'s my turn." Raizel butted in. He kneeled in front of Kira and said, "Welcome back, our King. I am also asking for your forgiveness because I doubted you once. I even bit you and sealed you in your coffin. Please forgive me. This time, I will never doubt you. I will always support you."

Kira raised his eyebrow and said, "Yeah. I can still remember the pain when you bit me. I guess I should give you a great punishment for that!"

"Huh! Wait… I thought you\'d forgiven me…" Raizel panicked.

Seeing his anxious expression, Kira burst out laughing. "I\'m just joking. It\'s fine. I\'ve already forgiven you. You are my best friend, after all!"

Raizel heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "Sigh. You scared me."

Kira just patted his shoulder and assisted him to stand up. "Just become my loyal general and my best friend… that is enough for me."

"I will always be your loyal general… and your best friend," Raizel said meaningfully.
