Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Marceline had a nagging feeling about this. She could hear the howling of their fellow werewolves. Her sense of hearing intensified as she concentrated on what was happening in the palace.

'Vampires! I can smell them!' Marceline's eyes turned amber. She was preparing to shift.

"Brother, bring Lyca and Lowell to a safe place!" Marceline requested Dylan. He was still in his wolf form. Lyca and Little Lowell were still riding his back. "Hide them… and keep them safe."

"How about you? Come with us, Marceline!" Lyca was reluctant to leave without her best friend. She could feel that something bad was happening in the palace.

The sound of fighting was everywhere. The vampires infiltrated the palace along with Cedric's pack. Vladimir already succeeded in taking Cedric out of the prison cell.

"Don't worry about me. I have to find my mother and my father…" Marceline didn't want to hurt the vampires but she had to save her fellow werewolves. How she wished she could stop this fight without killing anyone.

'I can smell Raizel's scent. He is here. I have to talk to him. He is Kira's best friend.' Marceline thought to herself.

'Sis. Be careful!' Dylan communicated with her through their mind link.

Marceline nodded her head, giving him a reassuring smile. "I can manage. I'm stronger than you think, bro. I am stronger than you." She teased him.

Dylan just whined because of her last remarks. 'Just be careful. I don't want you getting hurt. Kira will scold me for not protecting you.'

A hint of longing flashed through her eyes at the mention of Kira. She missed him so much. She just hoped Kira was doing fine in the human world.

"Just go, brother," Marceline said with urgency. She could hear the vampires' footsteps. They were fast approaching.

Little Lowell extended his right hand as if he was calling Marceline. He didn't want to get separated from her but Dylan already turned around and ran as fast as he could. He needed to find a safe hiding place for Little Lowell and his human mate, Lyca.

The palace had become a battleground for the two factions. Raizel and Victoria's forces were helping Vladimir's pack in infiltrating this palace.

When Dylan disappeared from her sight, Marceline finally transformed into her white wolf form. She was so large that the other werewolf fighters couldn't help but admire her. They were amazed to see this legendary white wolf fighting alongside them.

Two vampires charged in Marceline's direction. She growled at them, warning them not to make rash moves. But her warning fell on deaf ears. They thought they could handle her.

Protecting the other injured werewolves, Marceline leaped forward, facing the two vampires. But instead of biting them, Marceline used her head and paws to hit them, knocking them down.

Marceline was way stronger than them. When her paws landed on their bodies, the two vampires were thrown several meters away from her. They hit the ground and were immobilized by the impact.

Marceline could see werewolves and vampires fighting in front of her. She howled loudly, signaling the werewolves to retreat. She didn't want this fight to continue.

Howling!

Howling!

The werewolves and vampires stopped and gazed in her direction. Marceline was able to catch everyone's attention. There was a burning rage in Marceline's eyes. She was showing her dominance to both creatures.

The werewolves obeyed their princess right away, stepping back. They created enough distance away from the vampires. The vampires just watched them in confusion. They couldn't understand why the werewolves suddenly retreated when the white wolf showed up.

Growl!– [ Step back… ]

Marceline, or rather Stella, began to move. She slowly traced her steps as she moved to the front. The other werewolves lined up at her back, waiting for her orders.

It did not take long before Raizel also joined the crowd. He moved at the forefront of his vampire army. He stopped when he saw Stella. He also warned and motioned his fellow vampires to step back.

He knew how powerful Marceline was in her white wolf transformation. A mere vampire soldier was no match for her… even a group of them couldn't win against her.

'You can't defeat her. Let me deal with her.' Raizel communicated to his fellow vampires through their mind link. Vladimir already informed him that they got what they wanted. They could now retreat anytime.

It just so happened that vampires wanted to create a ruckus in the palace so they didn't retreat… just yet.

Growl!– [ "Why are you here, Rai?" ] Stella tried to talk to Raizel.

Growl!– [ "Did you form an alliance with Cedric's pack? The White Claw Pack?" ]

Raizel stared at Marceline for a long moment before he answered her. "Yes, we did…"

Marceline whined and stomped her two feet expressing her disapproval.

Growl– [ "Instead of forming an alliance with an enemy pack, why don't we sign a peace treaty for our clans!" ]

Raizel let out a sarcastic laugh when he heard Marceline's proposition.

"A peace treaty between our clan can only be possible if Dominique Silvano dies. Offer us his head and we might consider your proposition." Raizel sneered at her.

The other vampires also laughed, mocking Marceline and the other werewolves.

Grrrrrr!

Some werewolves didn't like what they heard. The vampires were insulting and mocking their werewolf princess and werewolf king.

Growl!– [ "Princess Stella, don't negotiate with them. Let's attack them now!"] A werewolf fighter spoke up as he could no longer bear the vampire's arrogance.

The other werewolf fighters were getting ready to launch an attack. They displayed their sharp canine teeth while looking daggers at the vampire soldiers.

The tension between the two groups was growing. The vampires also released their long sharp nails, letting them grow on the tip of their fingers. Not allowing the werewolves to intimidate them, Vampires also showed their fangs, taunting the werewolves further.

GROWL!– [ "Back off!!!" ] Marceline growled loudly. Her voice was firm and menacing. Even the vampires shuddered at her raging growl. She didn't want this bloody battle.

Realizing their mistake and disobedience, the werewolf fighters snapped out and lowered their heads, whimpering in front of their werewolf princess… their female alpha! Guilt and terror surged up inside their hearts.

But the vampires took that opportunity to attack Marceline all at once while she was distracted disciplining her warriors.

Growl– [ "Princess Stella, watch out!!!" ]
