Chapter 310 Serena's Feelings

"Everything… started here."

Serena paused for a moment, taking her time to observe her surroundings. The Valley of Promise seemed like it didn't change even after one thousand years.

Marceline stood beside her mother. The place looked similar to her dream. So this place truly existed, not only in her dream. But she was wondering why she had this dream connecting her to Kira's past.

Badum! Badum!

Marceline was a little bit nervous. She would hear the truth from her mother's mouth. She wondered if Serena would become honest with her or not.

Since Marceline didn't utter a word, Serena just continued telling her the story… the story that remained in her mind and in her heart. Those memories were so hard to forget even if she wanted to.

"Stella… please don't hate me or your father once you hear this story from me. And promise me… that you will not tell anyone about this…" Serena held Marceline's shoulders as she faced her. She was now looking into her eyes.

Marceline fell silent for a moment. She was not certain whether she couldn't get mad at Serena and Dominique. But she would like to hear the side of their story as well. The only thing she knew was that Kira was betrayed by her parents and Kira was the former king of the Kingdom Phantasia.

"I promise that I will tell no one… but I don't know if I can control my emotions. I will try to understand, however, don't ask me not to get mad…"

Serena could only sigh deeply. She knew that Marceline was in love with Kira so she understood if she would get mad after hearing the truth. But she would like to grab this opportunity as well to request Marceline to avoid Kira. She should stop loving Kira, otherwise, she would just get hurt in the end.

"Your father… Dominique… is my true mate. But your father rejected me at first because I couldn't shift to my wolf form. I was hurt and heartbroken… when I met Kira."

Marceline was all ears on her mother. She didn't want to miss any details from her story. Her attention was focused on her. And at the same time, she was trying to put her emotions in check. She had to hear everything from her.

"Kira and I fell in love… We were happy. He helped me heal my broken heart." Serena smiled faintly at that thought.

"But later on, your father and I met each other again. I thought I already got over him. But the bond between us was so strong. He is my true mate and I felt like my whole being belonged to him… except for my heart. Because Kira was already occupying it."

"So you loved Kira for real. You were not pretending?" Marceline questioned her mother. Hearing those words from her, she felt like her heart was being squeezed tightly.

How could fate let this happen? A mother and daughter fell in love with the same man?!

"Yes… I loved him… for real." Serena looked down as she felt ashamed. She couldn't look straight at her daughter's eyes after saying those words.

"I love Kira but your father is my mate. I have no choice. I heard about the rebellion. Your father organized it for the sake of the Werewolf Clan. I came from the werewolf clan so I was torn in between. I didn't know what I should do at that time."

Marceline's heart was already filled with different emotions. It felt so strange hearing these things from her mother. Was she telling the truth? Deep inside, she wished that her mother was lying.

If Kira would hear this, would he choose Serena? Would he fight for his love for Serena? Would Kira abandon her? Just thinking about it, anger and sadness were surging up inside her chest.

"So what did you do?" Marceline asked her with utmost curiosity in her eyes.

"I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I tried my best to protect Kira and Dominique. I couldn't let them kill each other in front of me… so I made my own plan."

Marceline frowned as she didn't know what kind of plan her mother was talking about. Protecting the man she loves and her mate? How could she do that?

"I volunteered to kill Kira with my own hands. Dominique knew how important I was to Kira so Kira would be caught off guard if I would be the one to attack him. And I succeeded. I plunged a dagger into his chest."

Serena had a bitter smile on her face as she recalled those moments. It hurts like hell. Kira was the one she stabbed but she was the one hurting inside.

"I hid Kira's body. I protected him and sent him to the human world," Serena confessed to Marceline, making her speechless.

So it was true! My mother was the one who kept Kira alive.

"So… Do you still love him?"

Serena avoided meeting Marceline's gaze. She glanced at the spot where Kira was standing, waiting for her.

"Yes… I still love him… until now, my feelings are still the same." Serena just dropped a bomb on Marceline's face. She didn't deny it.

Marceline was at a loss for words. She didn't know how she would react after hearing that. She just clenched her fists tightly while gritting her teeth.

"My daughter… I'm so sorry… but I would like to ask you something… Can you… stop loving Kira? Please… stay away from him. You will just get hurt." Serena held her shoulders tightly.

A cold glint flashed through Marceline's eyes. How could she ask her that?

"No! I can't do that. Kira… is my MATE! I will not stop loving him!" Marceline pushed her mother away. For some unknown reason, she was angry!

"But do you think… he loves you? What if Kira still has feelings for me? Don't force him to love you… It's best for both of you if you will stay away from him." Serena was now talking harshly towards Marceline.

"No! I can't! You are being selfish, mother!" Marceline could no longer control her rage. She felt like she was about to explode soon. Before she lost control of herself, Marceline decided to run away. She couldn't face her mother now after what she heard!

She ran and ran without a clear destination in mind. After a while she shifted into her wolf form, traversing through the dark forest. She didn't look back. She was mad! She felt frustrated and disheartened.

She could stop herself from shedding tears. She was afraid! Afraid of losing Kira. What if her mother was right? What if Kira still had feelings for Selene? She didn't know what to think anymore. All she wanted to do right now was to run away from Serena and Dominique.

Meanwhile, Serena stayed rooted in her spot. She had conflicting thoughts right now as she watched Marceline until she vanished from her sight.

She felt sorry for her daughter but she had no choice. She had to discourage her. She wanted Marceline to stop loving Kira. If Marceline would get involved with him once again, things would become more complicated.
