Getting worried about Marceline, Kira suddenly grabbed those vampires by their necks.
"What did you do with her? How about her friend?"
Raizel and the two vampires were caught by surprise by Kira's sudden rage. He turned into a scary monster, his eyes blazing red. He was so strong. Just one snap of his fingers, these two vampires would be killed.
They were completely immobilized. They couldn't move even though their minds were already screaming to fight back and struggle from his grasp.
'Who is this vampire? This is the first time I saw him. He is too powerful!'
The two vampires glanced at Raizel, asking for his help. Raizel shook his head helplessly before tapping Kira's shoulder.
"Let them go. We can talk to them in a peaceful manner," Raizel tried to stop Kira.
What a pity that these two vampires couldn't recognize their vampire king. He couldn't blame them. These two belonged to the young generation of vampires and they hadn't met Kira before.
"Cough! Cough!"
The two vampires coughed after being released from Kira's tight grip. He squeezed their necks tightly. They thought he was going to cut off their heads.
They glanced at Raizel, giving him a grateful look. But Raizel warned them to speak the truth and answer Kira's question; otherwise, he could no longer help them once Kira got mad.
"We didn't harm the woman. She was alone when we took her. We didn't involve her friend." One vampire anxiously answered Kira.
Kira heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. At least, Marceline didn't get involved. That's what he thought.
"Where is the woman? Is her name Lyca?" Kira wanted to confirm his assumption. He only saw once that Dylan got intimate with Lyca so he believed that Lyca must be his mate.
"Yes. I left her in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city before I searched for my comrade who was currently fighting the werewolf prince. We got caught by him. He was about to kill us but Lady Beatrice and that woman's friend arrived, stopping the werewolf prince from killing us."
Kira's expression darkened upon hearing that. Marceline was here. She came to stop Dylan?! Kira clenched his fists. He already warned her not to get closer to Dylan. But she still got involved with him.
Meanwhile, Raizel frowned upon seeing Kira's dark expression. He could see that his best friend was upset about something.
"Where is your Lady Beatrice? Why is she with Marceline? And why did she ask you to kidnap the werewolf prince's mate?" Kira's voice was as cold as ice in the north pole.
"She followed the werewolf prince and the woman. We also don't have any idea why the two ladies came together. But one thing is for sure. That woman tried to save her friend. As for Lady Beatrice, we don't know her motives. We are just following her order."
"Go and leave now!" Raizel ordered the two vampires. He was afraid that Kira would take his anger out on them. He was not in a good mood right now.
The two vampires immediately left as they were afraid of Kira. They were grateful that General Raizel was there to protect them. When the two vampires disappeared, Kira turned around to leave as well. He wanted to see Marceline.
But before he could take one step, Raizel blocked his way, thus stopping him.
"Calm down first Kira. Let's talk about this." Raizel could tell that Kira was also upset with him… or rather he was disappointed.
"Are you involving an innocent human now just to get what you want?" Kira questioned Raizel. "Don't you dare touch Lyca. She's Marceline's friend. I am warning you, Rai. Control those vampires as they are now under your command! Otherwise, you will see me punish them with my own hands."
"Believe me or not, I didn't order them to take Lyca." Raizel didn't expect that their meeting tonight would end up in an argument.
"Who is Beatrice?" Kira asked him. "Let me talk to her, myself."
Raizel shook his head. "Don't go there, Ki. The werewolf prince is with them. I can't allow you to blow our plan. Beatrice is doing her important mission right now. She is pretending to be the missing werewolf princess."
"WHAT?! The werewolf princess whom they found is just an impostor?" Kira's expression cracked.
He didn't know whether to laugh or not. Just a while ago, Cedric came to him, feeling proud and confident. He was even boasting that he could become the next Werewolf King by marrying the werewolf princess.
Who would have thought that this was just a great scheme of the vampires to deceive them?
If Kira was not upset, he would have commended Raizel and others already for coming up with this plan. They successfully planted a great spy who would be close to Dominique and the Silvano Clan.
"Let me talk to Beatrice. We can't let the werewolves find out that she is meeting vampires. This will put our plan in jeopardy. Please understand, Kira. We are relying on Beatrice right now so please let this slide." Raizel was convincing Kira to forgive Beatrice for touching Lyca. He was also asking Kira to spare her and forget what happened tonight.
"I promise… I will not allow any vampires to hurt your wife's friend… unless it is necessary."
Kira's brows knitted into a deep frown. 'Unless it is necessary? So Raizel might still use Lyca against Dylan since she is his mate. She will be Dylan's weakness.'
"Don't ever touch her. Your target is Dominique, not Dylan." Kira said firmly. He wanted to protect Lyca because she was an important person to Marceline.
"But Dylan is Dominique's son. He might become the next Werewolf King." Raizel reasoned out with him.
"There is one ambitious werewolf whom you should watch out for, instead of Dylan… Cedric Morgan. The current CEO of Triple W." Kira remembered that he also met Raizel to warn him about Cedric Morgan.
"This werewolf wants the throne for himself so he tried to make a deal with me, thinking that I am the former Vampire King. This is my friendly advice to you, Rai… Don't EVER… make a deal with a werewolf like him and Dominique. They are bound to betray us."
Raizel nodded his head with a smile. "I will keep that in mind, my King. So please don't get mad at me anymore."
Kira just sighed deeply. "I'm not mad at you."
Raizel chuckled, patting Kira's shoulder. "Well, I understand. It only means you care so much about Marceline. Are you sure that you are confused about your feelings? Your actions speak louder than your words."
Raizel was looking at Kira with a teasing smile. "You love her already, don't you? You are so protective of her… and the people close to her."
Kira fell silent for a moment. He didn't know whether Raizel was right or not. 'Do I love her already? Sigh. I don't know.'
"Hmm, I guess… you don't know the answer yet. Well, take your time, Ki. Just don't be too late to realize it. That's my friendly advice for you," Raizel said meaningfully.
Kira just lifted an eyebrow before turning around to leave. "I have to go now. I need to see Marceline."
