Grandpa Roland attacked Marceline as soon as he woke up. He bit her on her neck, consuming her sweet blood. Marceline didn't do anything. She just allowed her grandpa to drink her blood.
She could tell that he was hungry. He was weak because Victoria didn't feed him any blood. Marceline could feel the stinging sensation of his fangs, sucking her blood.
Grandpa Roland didn't stop. He couldn't get enough of her blood. But at the same time, his intense hunger was slowly dissipating. Her blood was enough to satiate his cravings.
Marceline felt her eyelids becoming heavy. She was about to lose consciousness. Grandpa Roland had already consumed a great amount of her blood. The poison of his vampire's bite was also draining her energy.
Grandpa Roland was so immersed in sucking her blood when suddenly someone entered the underground basement in a flash. Kira smelled Marceline's blood so he knew that something wrong was happening in the basement.
Kira's eyes widened in horror when he saw Grandpa Roland biting Marceline's neck. A vampire's bite is fatal to a werewolf as well and vice versa.
Feeling alarmed, Kira immediately dashed in their direction, separating the two. Kira pushed Grandpa Roland while supporting Marceline's body.
"Ki… No!" Marceline stopped Kira when he was about to attack Grandpa Roland. He almost lost control when he saw Marceline bleeding and feeling weak.
Marceline's voice helped him to calm down. Kira shielded Marceline against Roland. He charged in their direction, attacking Kira. However, Kira, the Vampire King, used his mind control ability to immobilize him. All he did was raise his hand and look straight into his eyes.
"Don't hurt him, Kira!" Marceline begged him. She was worried about her grandpa.
"Don't worry, my Lady. I'm just restraining his movement. I'm not hurting him," Kira softly said, reassuring her.
"Are you alright?" he asked her worriedly. Marceline's face became pale. She was holding her neck, pressing the wound caused by Grandpa Roland's bite.
"You lost so much blood." Kira didn't know whether he should get mad or not. He blamed himself for not being able to protect Marceline. He thought Marceline could handle her grandpa.
Now he witnessed that Grandpa Roland totally lost his mind. He couldn't even recognize his own granddaughter.
"We should treat your wound first. The vampire's bite is poisonous for you." Kira wanted to bring her out but Marceline refused to move.
"No. I'm just fine. Don't get mad at my grandpa. I chose not to fight. I wanted to feed him using my blood." Marceline defended her grandpa's action.
Kira's brows were drawn together when he heard that. "Your blood is mine alone." He declared. He didn't like the idea that someone else could taste her blood.
Marceline didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Kira still had the guts to joke around like that. But her heart skipped a beat when Kira suddenly acted very possessive towards her.
This time she had to confess the truth to Kira. He had the right to know the truth. It was up to him if he would still treat her the same or not after hearing this revelation.
"Ki…" Marceline called him out. Her expression became sullen and serious. She paused for a moment, glancing at Grandpa Roland who stood frozen in his spot. Kira was still restraining his movement.
"Yes, my Lady? Just tell me what's on your mind right now."
As Marceline was mustering her courage up, Raizel also came down to check on them. He also smelled Marceline's blood. A while ago, he was waiting outside together with Kira when suddenly Kira rushed inside.
Marceline didn't care even if Raizel was there listening to them. Darting her gaze between Kira and Grandpa Roland, Marceline finally told them the truth.
"Kira, Grandpa… I'm not a member of the Zhou Family. I-I was already a werewolf ever since I was born. This is what I learned from my wolf, Stella. Stella is me and I am here. We are just one entity. I am a werewolf!"
"So I'm fine even if my grandpa will drain my blood. I owe them my life. The Zhou Family took care of me and raised me," Marceline justified her decision of letting Grandpa Roland consume her blood.
Kira was stunned and he didn't know how he would react after hearing the truth from Marceline. She was a werewolf. She's not human!
On the other hand, Raizel was shocked beyond belief when he heard Marceline's last remarks. Stella's name was mentioned. Was it just a coincidence? Her wolf name was the same as the missing Werewolf Princess' name.
Subconsciously, Raizel made a mental calculation. He counted the years when the werewolf princess was taken from the Kingdom Phantasia.
To think about it, Marceline's age was similar to Dylan and the missing werewolf princess.
Raizel turned to Marceline with disbelief in his eyes. 'Could it be… she's the missing werewolf princess? The daughter of Dominique Silvano, the Werewolf King?'
Raizel couldn't utter a word. He was shaken by those lines of thoughts. What would Kira do if ever Marceline was indeed the missing daughter of Dominique and Serena?
Raizel just stayed silent. He needed to confirm it before informing Kira. He knew that the truth would affect Kira so much. His relationship with Marceline would never be the same.
'If that's the case, Kira should stay away from her! They can't be together. I will not let my best friend get hurt once again!' Raizel clenched his fists, feeling enraged.
Now he was put in this difficult situation. He didn't know how he would convince Kira to stay away from Marceline.
'Damn! Things are getting more complicated. Who are you, Marceline? Are you connected with the Silvano Clan? Are you the missing princess?'
Raizel wouldn't be at ease without finding the right answer to that. The truth was the key! He had to find it before it was too late. Kira should be free from his past. He shouldn't get entangled with another werewolf!
'I will have to separate them! I must do it, for my best friend's sake… for our king… and for our clan!'
