Selene hugged Kira tightly. She felt so happy knowing that their child was safe and sound. Dylan and Raizel were also happy for both of them.
Serena, Victoria, and Dominique were still speechless. Serena was confused about her feelings. Dominique hid something from her. And he was the reason Selene died.
The Moon Goddess continued showing them what happened. She was the one who sent Kira to the human world. Then she preserved both Selene's soul and her child's soul.
As punishment for Dominique and Serena, the Moon Goddess made Selene their daughter for her reincarnation. She lived as Marceline.
The Moon Goddess was also the one who took the young Selene away from her parents, Serena and Dominique. She let them feel the longing of losing their child. Selene also found out that Aunt Brianna was none other than the Moon Goddess herself.
"Now… you witnessed the things that happened in the past. I hope you will finally break the loop of hatred." The Moon Goddess had become serious.
"This war is pointless!" She emphasized to them while looking at Dominique. "Forget about this power struggle! This will only make your lives miserable and sad."
Dylan approached his father and his mother. "Father… mother… I think it's time to let go of the past. Acknowledge your mistakes and apologize."
"You did so many wrong things… against my twin sister, Selene… she is also part of you… she became your daughter…" Dylan added, urging his parents to ask for forgiveness and correct their wrongs.
"The Moon Goddess is kind enough to give you a chance to repent for your sins… Please mother, father, I want to live in peace together with my mate. Let us all live in peace."
Serena glanced at Selene. Her heart clenched as guilt consumed her. The Moon Goddess was right. Selene sacrificed a lot for her. But what did she do in return? She betrayed her. She hurt her man. She even tried to deceive Kira and Marceline, pretending she was in love with Kira and the one who saved him.
She only did it because she didn't want her daughter to end up being together with their enemy, Kira. But if there was no war, they didn't have to consider Kira as their enemy.
Realizing her mistakes and evil deeds, Serena traced her steps toward Kira and Selene. Upon reaching their spot, Serena dropped to her knees and asked for their forgiveness.
"I'm sorry, Selene, my sister. Please forgive me. I was blinded by my love for Dominique. I neglected you. I betrayed you. But I loved you as my dearest sister… Please forgive me. I want to start over with you…" Serena was sincere as she apologized to her sister. Serena was shedding tears.
Selene reached out, assisting her sister to stand up. She hugged her tightly.
"I never hated you. I tried to understand your choice… you did it for your love. And I will always forgive you… Serena. I promised our parents that I would take care of you. You are my responsibility… And I'm glad… you finally acknowledged your mistake."
The Moon Goddess, Dylan, and Kira couldn't help but feel touched by this heartwarming scene between Selene and Serena.
Dominique was still conflicted about this. His pride and ego wouldn't allow him to bow down in front of Kira and the vampires.
As if Kira had read what was running through Dominique's mind, Kira stepped forward and faced Dominique.
"I am challenging you to a duel. If I win, you have to apologize to me, to Selene, and all the vampires. If you win, I will do anything you want."
"No one is allowed to interfere… even our Moon Goddess…" Kira added.
Dominique was silent. He didn't respond right away. He just watched Serena, Dylan, and Selene. They were part of his family.
"Okay. I agree. I'm accepting this challenge." Dominique finally responded.
Serena looked at Dominique worriedly while Selene approached Kira. Selene was not nervous at all because she believed in him. If defeating Dominique in this duel was the only way to make the Werewolf King surrender and accept his wrongdoings then Selene would support Kira.
"Fine. I won't interfere. I will serve as a witness," The Moon Goddess responded. Deep inside, she had no power to stop the two. She used all her magical power a while ago when she put the werewolves and vampires into a deep sleep.
Selene stepped back and moved to the spot near Raizel and Victoria. She would make sure that the two wouldn't do anything. Meanwhile, Dylan held his mother's hand, squeezing it gently to comfort her.
He trusts Kira. He believed that Kira wouldn't kill Dominique. He would just give him a lesson for all the things he did.
Kira and Dominique circled each other, waiting and sensing who would attack first. It did not take long before Dominique transformed into his wolf form. He charged in Kira's direction, his sharp claws targeting Kira's head.
However, with Kira's vampiric speed, he managed to dodge him. Dominique became more aggressive. He matched Kira's speed, attacking him in different directions. The spectators couldn't see their movement clearly. They didn't know who was winning or losing.
Thud!
Bam!
The two were now wrestling on the ground. The cave was on the verge of collapsing because of their exchanges of attacks. The others had to vacate the cave, otherwise, they would get hit by the falling rocks.
"OMG, they are indeed the Kings of this Kingdom!" Dylan made some remarks.
Five seconds later, the cave totally collapsed as if it was bulldozed by a big truck.
"Are they fine? Are they still breathing?" Dylan asked again.
"I can hear them breathing…" Selene said.
Raizel and Victoria looked at her. "Are you not worried?" Raizel curiously asked Selene. After witnessing how Selene protected Kira with her life, Raizel's impression of her already changed. He admired her for her courage and bravery, fighting five werewolves alone.
"Kira will win. I believe in him. That's why I'm not worried." Selene blurted out with confidence.
Meanwhile, Kira was now pinning Dominique on the ground. He was holding him by his neck. Dominique was now back in his human form.
"Admit defeat now…" Kira firmly said to him.
Dominique clenched his fists while grinding his teeth. Kira was still his most powerful rival. He slammed his eyes shut and mumbled, "Yes. You win."
Dominique admitted defeat. He fully exhausted his power. His energy was drained when Kira bit his neck and sucked his blood.
Kira released Dominique and got off him. The Werewolf King remained lying on the ground.
"I'm going to inform them…" Kira cheerfully said.
Dominique could only sigh in defeat.
The two were unaware that there was someone hiding, watching them secretly. Cedric found the opportunity to kill the Werewolf King. It was the rule that whoever defeated or killed the current Werewolf King, he or she would reign as the new Werewolf King.
Cedric wanted to grab this opportunity to eliminate Dominique so that he would become the new Werewolf King. Cedric and his pack members had been hiding, that's why, Moon Goddess didn't manage to put them to sleep.
When Cedric saw Kira leaving, he grabbed this chance to attack Dominique and beheaded him. He would bring his head to all the Werewolves so that they would acknowledge them as the New Werewolf King!
Slash!
*Cedric charging forward to Dominique's spot*
'Your head is mine, my King!' Cedric thought as he swung his sharp claws.
SLASH!
*Blood Spurt*
