Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 275 Trusting Dylan

Beatrice was about to call the main HQ of Scarlet Heart Inc to inform them about the good news when Victoria suddenly contacted her.

"Beatrice, listen carefully. We have a change of plan. You have to eliminate Dominique Silvano now. You have the items with you. It's now the time to put them into use." Victoria ordered Beatrice, not allowing her to speak up. She didn't even greet her upon answering the call.

"Lady Victoria, what happened?" Beatrice asked her in confusion.

"If You stay longer there, your life will be put at risk. It's just a matter of time before they find out that you are just an impostor. So we must move now while Dominique and Serena are not suspecting you." Victoria warned her.

"I got it, Lady Victoria. I will proceed with our plan tonight. Dominique Silvano left the house and I don't know when he will come back. By the way, Lady Victoria… I have a piece of good news for everyone." She paused for a moment before she continued.

"I saw Kira Alaric, our Vampire King. He is alive!"

Victoria was dumbfounded for a moment. "W-Where did you see him?"

"He came here to Silvano's Villa, looking for Marceline Zhou. How is he related to the Zhou gatekeeper? Were the Zhou descendants the ones who helped him before?"

Victoria heard two bad news today; One was about Kira and the other one was about Marceline.

"Be careful around Marceline Zhou. She's not a human nor a gatekeeper. She's a werewolf. Did Dominique and Serena learn about her true nature?" Victoria asked her expectantly. She needed to know the answer.

"I don't think so. I guess… they don't have any idea yet. Dominique never mentioned it to us. I think Marceline is hiding her identity from them as well."

"That's good. Now… kill Dominique. That's our main priority tonight!" Victoria reminded her once again.

"Ok, Lady Victoria. Just leave it to me." Beatrice reassured her.

Meanwhile, Dylan and Marceline arrived at the Zhou Ancestral Mansion. The place was still in a great mess. Kira had no time to clean up and fix everything as he got busy looking for Marceline.

Dylan was displeased seeing the chaotic state of the mansion. Someone tried to hurt Marceline and he hated that.

"I should reprimand your husband for leaving you here alone," Dylan said, clenching his fist. "If not for my father, you would have died…"

Marceline grabbed Dylan's hand to pacify his rage. She was fine. And she truly appreciates the concern they were giving her.

"Dylan… Can I ask you something?" f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

"Go on," Dylan softly responded, squeezing her hand.

Marceline looked straight into his eyes before asking him, "What is your stand about the war between werewolves and vampires?"

Dylan was not able to answer her right away.

"Vampires and Werewolves keep on killing each other. Werewolves enslaved the vampires and the vampires were trying to fight back to have their revenge. Are you not tired of this? The unending loop of revenge?"

Dylan didn't know what to say. He knew Marceline's pain. Her parents died because of the war between Vampires and Werewolves.

"I'm sorry, Marceline. I am still powerless to influence my entire clan to stop this war. And the vampires will continue to fight back. We have no choice but to defend our own clan." Dylan gave her his honest answer. Marceline could understand him.

"My father… he is the King of Werewolves. He hated vampires… and his hatred intensified when my twin sister got separated from us. Even if I ask him to stop this war, my father will not listen to me."

"But you already found your sister. Don't you think… it's the right time to offer a truce with the vampires?" Marceline suggested.

Dylan fell silent. He didn't have control over his father's decision.

"Come with me. I will show you something." Marceline pulled Dylan towards the underground basement.

Dylan's brows furrowed in a deep frown when he smelled a vampire scent. There was a vampire in that secret basement. He raised his guard up, getting ready to attack.

"Relax… He is not an enemy. He is my grandfather. He was turned by vampires. They did this to preserve his life because he was dying." Marceline informed Dylan. She began to trust Dylan wholeheartedly. Her instinct was telling her to trust Dylan!

Grandpa Roland was still lying inside the coffin. Dylan appreciated how Marceline was telling him this secret.

"Now that my grandfather has become a vampire, will you hurt him too?"

"Of course not! I will not hurt an innocent one… even if he or she is a vampire or not." Dylan had this principle. He would only hurt the bad creatures!

Marceline's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She was so glad to hear his response. Longing for her own family, Marceline was not able to restrain herself from hugging Dylan. He was like a brother to her. And she liked it.

Meanwhile, Dylan was caught by surprise. He didn't expect that Marceline would hug him like this. Fortunately, Kira was not around, otherwise, he would be in trouble. That guy was a very jealous man.

A few seconds later, Dylan hugged Marceline back, stroking her hair. He couldn't explain why he felt so close to her. He was fond of her. And he wished to protect her.

They were still hugging each other when Marceline spoke up once again.

"Dylan, there is another secret I wanna share with you." Marceline's grip on his body tightened.

Dylan noticed her uneasiness and she looked troubled by something.

"Alright. Just tell me. I'm willing to listen. I will not tell anyone. This is just a secret between us," Dylan promised her.

Marceline took a deep breath. Then she let go of Dylan. She gazed up to see his face, meeting his gaze. Dylan just remained silent, waiting for her to say something.

"Dylan… I am not a human… I am a werewolf," Marceline said, revealing her true nature to Dylan.

Dylan: "..."

Dylan was shocked beyond belief when he heard that. It took him a lot of time before he was able to digest her words.

'What did she just say? Marceline… not human? But a werewolf?'
