Chapter 198 Discovering Little Lowell's Identity

The next day, Kira and Marceline got busy preparing for the wake of Aunt Brianna. On the same day, she decided to cremate Aunt Brianna's body. It was according to her wish.

She left Marceline a letter. It was an already-prepared letter, to be given to Marceline once something would happen to her. It seemed like Aunt Brianna already anticipated her passing away.

Marceline found a quiet place wherein she read Aunt Brianna's last message for her.

[ My dearest Marceline, you are like a daughter to me. You know how much I care for you. Please don't be sad if ever I have to leave you behind. Just be strong always. I know you can overcome whatever challenges you may encounter in life. ]

[ You are destined to be the most powerful among them. Your fate is in all your hands now. If ever you will experience doubt and confusion, just follow your heart, and of course, use your wisdom to make the right decision. Don't let the past hinder you in getting your happiness and reaching your dream. You are you… the sweet and loving Marceline I've ever known. ]

Aunt Brianna's message didn't make sense to her as of now. But sooner or later, Marceline would understand those meaningful words directed to her.

After gathering her emotions, she went back to join Kira and Little Lowell. Xyon, Lyca, and Dylan were also present. They were there to support and comfort Marceline.

The six of them said goodbye to Aunt Brianna before burying her ashes near the Zhou Ancestral Mansion. She would always treasure and cherish all the memories she shared with Aunt Brianna.

Dylan and Lyca were not talking to each other. They could feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding the two of them. As much as possible, Lyca didn't want to be alone with Dylan so she was always tagging along with Marceline.

For this reason, Dylan and Kira had no choice but to stay together while the two ladies were talking privately.

Kira was also aloof and indifferent towards Dylan. Dylan was not used to this cold treatment. He wondered why Kira was treating him like this.

Little did he know, this started after Kira found out that Dylan was the son of Dominique and Selene.

Xyon could also feel the heavy tension between the two men. He just focused his attention on Little Lowell. For him, it was easy to deal with the young boy, instead of dealing with the moody vampire like Kira.

He already experienced facing the angry Kira. He almost died in his hand. As much as possible, he didn't want that accident to happen again.

"Little Lowell, what do you think about your father?" Xyon asked the young boy curiously. He was referring to Kira. He knew that Marceline was willing to adopt the child so she and Kira would become his parents.

Little Lowell frowned deeply, expressing his displeasure towards Kira. Little Lowell still hated vampires.

"Your Mama loves him so you should learn to like him too. Don't you like him even a little?" Xyon asked him another question.

Little Lowell shook his head while pouting his lips. He knew that Marceline and Kira had a strong relationship. He could observe how much the two care for each other.

"By the way, why are you always wearing gloves and a hood?" After saying that, Xyon removed Little Lowell's hood only to be surprised by his wolf's ears.

"Eh? Why do you have these?" Xyon blurted out exasperatedly, his fingers pinching Little Lowell's ears.

Little Lowell put on a puppy-eyed look. He also removed his gloves to show Xyon his little paws. His eyes were looking at him as if he was telling him 'I'm not an ordinary kid… I'm a wolf cub.'

Xyon blinked his eyes several times, still amazed by the cute charming little hybrid boy in front of him.

That was also the time Dylan passed by that area. Then he saw Xyon talking to Little Lowell. He was about to approach them when he noticed Little Lowell's appearance.

'What? Little Lowell is a hybrid? He is half wolf and half human?' Dylan hid at the door, secretly observing the two.

What surprised him more was Xyon's reaction. He was not afraid nor shocked. Instead, he was smiling at the Little boy while rubbing his cute furry wolf ears.

"Uh oh, let's cover your ears again using your hood. Wear your gloves Little Lowell. Your Uncle Dylan and Aunt Lyca might be surprised once they see you like this. They have no idea about the existence of werewolves."

Little Lowell nodded his head obediently before wearing his gloves. Xyon was the one who put his hood back on his head.

After hearing their conversation, Dylan realized that Xyon also knew the existence of other creatures– werewolves, witches, vampires, and hybrids.

At this moment, Dylan had remembered something important. He had forgotten about the existence of gatekeepers. He just recalled that the gatekeepers of the Northern Portal came from the Zhou Family.

'Damn! It slipped out of my mind! Marceline Zhou… she is a descendant of the gatekeepers from the Zhou Clan. So there is a possibility that she is aware of our existence!' Dylan's eyes brightened up at that thought.

'Can I tell her about my real identity? I wonder what will be her reaction once she finds out I am a werewolf. Will she accept me? Can we still be friends?' Dylan was still looking forward to it.

Then another woman popped up in his mind– Lyca! They were not on good terms right now. He thought he had to double his effort to win her heart. She was his mate. He would not allow her to fall in love with another man.

"Sigh, after making her fall for me… I still have another challenge to face– revealing my real identity to her. Should I ask Marceline's support? If she knows our existence then she might be able to help me explain everything to Lyca. Gosh, I need my sister's help!" The word 'sister' just came out of Dylan's mouth naturally. He felt like Marceline was his twin sister.
