Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 159 Keeping The Hybrid Boy



[ Zhou Ancestral Mansion…]

Marceline and Kira went home together with the young hybrid boy. The little boy was still sound asleep in Kira's bed while Marceline was putting some clothes on in her own room.

She planned on returning to the hospital to watch over and monitor her grandfather's condition. But she was worried about the young boy.

'Should I ask Kira to take care of the child?' Marceline asked herself while fixing her clothes.

"Achoo! Achoo!" Marceline sneezed numerous times. She had been drenched in water for too long, both by the river and the rain.

It did not take long when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in!" Marceline said, allowing Kira to enter.

Kira stepped into the room, checking on her from top to bottom. Marceline was now wearing a white top and black leather jacket paired with blue jeans and sneakers.

"Are you going out? You should stay here and rest. I will be the one to watch over your grandfather." Kira held her shoulders, gently pushing her towards the bed. He made her sit on the bed, not allowing her to leave her room.

"I'm just fine. I want to see my grandpa. I can't stay at home while my grandfather is fighting his illness, alone in the hospital. I won't be at ease." Marceline reasoned out. She insisted on going out.

"Alright. Then I'm coming with you. There's no way I will leave your side again," Kira promptly responded. "What if something bad happens to you while I'm not around? I don't want that to happen."

"But you can't. You have to take care of the young boy. We can't leave him here alone." Marceline mentioned the hybrid boy.

Because of that, Kira remembered that he wanted to ask Marceline how she met the young boy.

"Where did you meet that boy? Why were you together? How about his family? Did they abandon him?" Kira bombarded Marceline with so many questions.

Marceline looked at him with a complicated expression on her face.

"His parents didn't abandon him. They protected him and died." Marceline paused for a moment. She didn't know how Kira would react once she told him the truth.

'If I were to ask him, will he also kill the young boy's parents?' Marceline pondered to herself.

"What happened to them?" Kira suddenly became interested in the boy's story.

"He and his family were being hunted by vampires. They were the ones who killed his parents. They also wanted to eliminate the boy but I protected him."

"WHAT?! Did you encounter vampires aside from your savior? Is he the one who killed his parents? Did he hurt you?" Kira asked her exasperatedly.

"Yes. I fought them for several seconds and fled. They are another group. My vampire savior is not with them," Marceline answered nonchalantly. She stood up to check the young boy in the next room. Kira just followed her from behind, still wanting to hear more information from her.

Upon entering the room, they saw the boy hugging his own self while sound asleep. He looked like a bear with a charming face and cute ears.

Marceline had the urge to join the young boy on the bed and cuddle him. He was so cute. His body was covered by Kira's shirt. He was the one who put the shirt on the boy.

For the entire century that he was living as a vampire king, this was the first time he did it, serving a little boy who was also a half-werewolf.

Marceline walked over, sitting on the edge of the bed. She started caressing the boy's cheeks. Kira was just silently watching them.

"Ki, if it was you, would you also kill his parents?" Marceline finally asked him about the thing that was troubling her a while ago.

"Of course not. I will not kill an innocent but only those who are trying to hurt my fellow vampires. Those people responsible for the sufferings of my fellows." Kira answered her truthfully. Though he could be brutal to his enemies, Kira would never kill an innocent child.

Meanwhile, Marceline felt glad when she heard those words from Kira. She could tell that Kira was different from those ruthless and merciless vampires whom she encountered a while ago.

"I feel relieved, knowing that you are not like them."

"But I am still frightening… that's the truth," Kira mumbled with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"But I'm not afraid of you. You don't look frightening to me." Marceline retorted.

Kira just let out a husky laugh as he recalled Marceline's remarks for their second encounter. She said she was not afraid of him even though he was a vampire because he looked gorgeous.

"You are fond of gorgeous men!" Kira said jokingly, his eyes sparkling with humor.

"Yes, I am. I will not deny that." Marceline proudly said, smirking at Kira.

Kira could only shake his head helplessly. "Can I pinch your cheeks?"

"NO!"

The two were still teasing each other when Marceline felt the young boy's hands, reaching for her. He already rolled over to Marceline, hugging her narrow waist.

Marceline immediately asked Kira to be quiet. "Shhhh! Lower your voice, he is sleeping."

"See, even this boy doesn't want you to leave the house," Kira whispered, pointing the boy using his forefinger.

"By the way, what are you planning to do with him?" he added.

Marceline took her time before responding to him. She watched the boy for a moment, assessing her feelings towards him.

After a while, Marceline heaved a deep sigh. "What else? I'm going to keep him and raise him. I can't leave him in an orphanage because of his appearance. He is my responsibility now," Marceline declared, finally accepting the responsibility of taking care of a young hybrid boy.

Kira let out a sigh of defeat. "Ok. I understand. I will support you on that decision. Let's keep him and raise him well."

Marceline bobbed her head as a response. She was smiling at him cheerfully. She felt like the three of them were now a family of three– She is the mother, Kira is the father and the hybrid boy is their child!
