Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

"What have you done, you Dumb Ass?!!" The head guard immediately stopped the car. He turned around, extending his hand to grab his underling by his collar.

He punched him in the face and scolded him. "Are you goddamn STUPID?! Why did you stab her, you Psycho! I just said that we need to make it look like a suicide! Not a murder! Where did you put your brain, you @sshole!" The head guard sounded so mad as he continued cursing his stupid underling. He wanted to beat him up for giving him a headache!

"I'm sorry, Boss. I couldn't help it. I hate this woman. She is a cunning and ruthless witch. She was always scolding me before. Now, this is my payback to her!"

"Boss, just let it be. Let's continue our plan.  Nothing changed. We can just throw her here on the bridge and let her die under the river! It already happened. We should not argue while we are on our mission," The other guy spoke up, trying to pacify their boss.

The head guard could only sigh helplessly while glaring at his stupid underling. "Alright! Let's do it. Just throw her here. I will be on the lookout, making sure there will be no witness."

The two men just nodded their heads. The head guard stepped out of the car first, surveying the surroundings. Fortunately, it was raining so the visibility in the area was not clear. Aside from that, no vehicles were passing by at the moment since it was already late at night.

When he made sure that everything was clear, the head guard gave his go signal, allowing the two men to get out of the car while bringing Marceline with them.

One man was holding Marceline on her feet while the man who stabbed her was holding her shoulders. The two glanced at each other as they carried her to the side of the bridge. With the head guard's order, they threw Marceline's body into the river. The three immediately entered the car and sped off.

'Noooo!' Kira screamed in his mind the moment he saw what transpired a while ago. Marceline fell into the water. She might die from drowning! He needed to save her.

Kira was about to go berserk. These three men colluded with Evelyn Zhou to eliminate Marceline. Kira would never forgive them.

As much as he wanted to finish them off in the most brutal way he knew, he had no time for that. His priority was to save Marceline.

Without further ado, Kira unleashed his power, putting the three men under his mind control power. He was gnashing his teeth while strangling them by their necks. The blazing rage could be seen in his scarlet eyes.

"Go! Kill each other!" Kira commanded before dashing out of the garage. He had to save Marceline!

His heart was thumping so hard against his chest. It was filled with fear and anxiety. He just hoped Marceline could survive this.

He didn't care anymore if werewolves would spot him on the road. He shifted into his bat form and flew hurriedly to the bridge where he last saw Marceline.

At this moment, Kira finally realized that Stella was right. Marceline needed Stella's power to protect herself. He was not always there to do that.

Now, he failed to protect Marceline. Those men were able to hurt her. He regretted leaving Marceline alone. If he didn't let jealousy win over him, this would not happen. He should have stayed by her side!

'My Lady… please stay alive. Wait for me. I'm coming!' Kira was silently praying in his mind.

Meanwhile, on the riverbank, Marceline regained her consciousness. Her strength went back but her body was still freezing from too much coldness. It seemed that it would take time before the rain would stop.

Marceline sat up, massaging her temples. Her eyes were finally able to adjust in the dark. She was surprised as to why her vision became so clear even at night and there was no light source around.

She reflexively looked down to check her body. A while ago, she felt an excruciating pain in her abdomen. She could smell her own blood.

"I'm wounded. Someone stabbed me for sure," Marceline mumbled to herself, pulling her shirt up to check her wound. But to her surprise, her stab wounds were long gone. They were healed completely.

"What the hell? Did I just dream of it? I thought I was bleeding a lot after receiving several stab wounds." Marceline could still not believe that she didn't see any wound.

"This feels so weird. Don't tell me I have a super healing ability?" Marceline joked to herself. She even let out a soft giggle because of that strange idea.

Then, later on, she recalled her encounter with the beautiful white wolf. Marceline suddenly fell silent. She became troubled by the white wolf's words.

[ 'You are me and I am you!' ]

Marceline shook her head, refusing to believe any words coming from the white wolf– Stella.

"No! I'm not a werewolf. I will never be a werewolf. I hate werewolves! I'd rather become a vampire than become a werewolf!"

Marceline tried to get up only to fall back as her legs became numb from too much coldness.

"Shit! I can't stand up. My hands and my legs are freezing!" Marceline lamented to herself. "Am I going to die from hypothermia?"

Marceline lay down on the ground, closing her eyes. The raindrops continued to pour on her freezing body. She really thought she would die from hypothermia but Stella would never allow that to happen.

Though Marceline rejected her and didn't acknowledge her, Stella would continue protecting Marceline.

Seconds later, Marceline suddenly felt so warm. The cold was gone. She slowly opened her eyes only to be shocked and shaken by the things she saw.

Her hands were now covered by white fur.

'What the Hell is this?!!' Marceline's eyes widened in utter disbelief. 'Did I become a werewolf? NOOO! THIS COULDN'T BE!'
