Marceline had mixed emotions right now. She felt so jealous, angry, and anxious. The woman whom Kira loved finally showed up and according to Kira, Serena didn't betray him.
She felt comfortable and close to Serena after meeting her for the first time. She had never thought that she was her rival when it came to conquering Kira's heart.
She saw how Kira got furious when Dominique tried to hit Serena a while ago. He protected her and he showed his worries and concerns towards Serena.
Marceline's expression was glum. She envied Serena for being Kira's first love. And she hated her, knowing that Kira got hurt because of her.
No matter what reason that woman had, if she truly loved Kira, she would never let anyone hurt Kira. However, she did it. Saying she was left with no choice, this was not a valid justification for her action. She always had a choice! She just chose to hurt Kira!
With those thoughts in mind, Marceline could feel the raging fury inside her. She didn't know if she should take it on Kira or Serena. All she knew was that… Serena was a very special woman for Kira and this fact made her anxious. She felt like Kira hadn't forgotten her yet and his feelings for that woman.
"Do you still love her?" Marceline asked Kira, her eyes filled with different emotions. She sounded so calm when she asked that question but her emerald eyes were staring sharply at Kira.
She didn't want to cry nor show vulnerability in front of Kira even though she was already drowning in the sea of vinegar from too much jealousy. Even Stella, her wolf, felt the same way.
Kira didn't see this coming. The moment those words left Marceline's mouth, Kira's heart skipped a beat. Did he still love her despite the fact, she was already Dominique's Queen?
He parted his lips as if he was about to answer her question but he closed his mouth again, unable to say a single word. How could he answer that question if Marceline was giving him that kind of expression?
Kira looked away and chose to remain silent as he didn't want to hurt Marceline. But little did he know, his actions just now already hurt Marceline because, for her, his silence could also mean "Yes".
Marceline could no longer keep her cool. She just wanted to walk away and shut herself in her room. Without waiting for Kira, Marceline walked past him, leaving the balcony.
Kira tried to stop her by holding her elbow but Marceline pushed him away with enough force. She and her wolf were both angry and hurt so Marceline was not able to control her strength. Kira was thrown a few meters away from her.
"I want to be alone. Don't you dare follow me!" Marceline marched out, leaving Kira.
He was still not used to Marceline's super strength. He was surprised by the immense strength she exhibited before his eyes.
'So this is the strength of a white wolf… Damn, she looks so hot when angry,' Kira thought to himself. But he immediately shook his head to clear his mind. This was not the time to admire Marceline.
He had a big problem! Marceline was angry at him. And he couldn't understand his feelings so he was not able to give her a proper answer. He was also trying to figure out if he was still in love with Selene.
'But she is no longer the Selene that you know. She is now Serena, the Werewolf Queen… Dominique's Luna.' Kira's alter ego reminded him.
Kira could only clutch his chest. He was torn between Marceline and Serena. He had to admit that he was being unfair to Marceline but he couldn't help it. He was conflicted and confused.
'I have to talk to Selene. How will she react once she finds out I'm the Vampire King whom she had loved before. Will she be glad to see me alive?' Kira asked himself, uncertainties filling his heart
Kira tugged his hair tightly as he didn't know what was the right thing to do. What if he committed another mistake by trusting Serena and disclosing to her his real identity? Would everything change? Would they go back to how they used to be? Just loving each other?
Kira heaved a deep sigh as he realized that it was very far from being possible. His vampire clan was preparing a war against the werewolf clan. He had no time for taking a woman away from his mortal nemesis.
He couldn't deny the fact that Serena was a werewolf… the Queen of Werewolves! There was no way Raizel would be happy to hear that he was trying to reconcile with her.
'Damn! What should I do?'
Kira unknowingly followed Marceline. He just stood outside her bedroom for several minutes. He wanted to see her but he knew that Marceline would become angrier. He felt like he didn't have the right to see her.
His heart clenched knowing that Marceline was furious because of him. But he just hoped that she would listen to his request. As much as possible, he would like Marceline to avoid Dylan and Dominique. Those two men also should stay away from Marceline. They were enemies.
He could still hear Marceline's faint movement inside. She was still awake. She was sighing countless times. Kira could only lean on the door, listening to her heartbeat and breathing. He suddenly regretted making her upset and angry.
'What have I done? I feel so dumb…' Kira was cursing himself inwardly.
Meanwhile, Marceline was also staring at her closed door. She knew that Kira was just standing outside her door. She told him not to follow her. But he still did. However, he just stayed outside.
Marceline's eyes watered, her tears threatening to fall. She was scared that Kira would choose Serena over her.
'Now that he believes Serena didn't betray him, I wonder if I can still replace her in his heart.' Marceline tightened her grip on her pillow, burying her face on its surface.
