Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 226 A Traitor Among The Wolves
"Y-You've found… my missing daughter?" Dominique repeated with disbelief in his eyes. The first thought that came into his mind was Marceline.
'How come? Is she not Marceline?' He asked himself inwardly, glancing at Dylan and Serena who were both shocked after hearing the good news.
"We should leave now and go to Triple W Headquarters," Dominique informed them after hanging up the phone.
Dylan frowned deeply as he realized that he hadn't informed his parents yet, especially his father, about the failed assassination attempt against him which was done by Cedric and his men.
"Father, I–"
"Come with us, Dylan. We have to see your twin sister. You can also confirm her identity." Dominique spoke up thus interrupting Dylan. He didn't wait for him to respond. Dominique already walked ahead. He was still upset with Serena and he was in a bad mood because of Kira.
His mood worsened further after knowing that Marceline might not be their daughter. He had conflicting thoughts about it. He was glad to know that Cedric found their daughter but deep inside, he was a little bit disappointed because she was not Marceline.
Meanwhile, Serena held Dylan's hand, urging him to follow her.
"Mother, what's wrong? Did you two fight? Father seems grouchy tonight."
Serena didn't want to burden her son by telling him what happened between them. Dylan must not get involved in their conflict. As much as possible, she wanted to keep the things related to the incident a thousand years ago, involving Kira Alaric, the Vampire King.
"This is nothing son. Something happened in the Kingdom Phantasia, that's why your father is not in a good mood. Come, let's follow him. We have to meet your twin sister." Serena grabbed Dylan's hand, pulling him towards the exit.
"Mother, wait," Dylan said, stopping on his track. He was contemplating whether to come with them or not. Cedric and others didn't know that he survived that night.
Now that Cedric found his missing sister, there was no way Dominique would punish his werewolf general. He didn't get concrete proof. Cedric could deny it.
'Damn! I'm in a tight spot right now. How could I explain this to my mother? Will she believe me?'
Serena also stopped, glancing at Dylan with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Why, son? Don't you want to go with me?"
"Mother, I can't leave Lyca. I think I will just follow you later." Dylan planned on sneaking inside the Triple W to confirm his sister's identity but he would make sure not to let Cedric know that he was alive.
Serena furrowed her eyebrows upon seeing his odd behavior. "I thought you were excited to be reunited with your sister. Why are you hesitant to come with us now?" 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
"Mother, I have my reason… but of course, nothing changed with my feelings. I am still dying to meet my sister."
"What is that reason?" Serena was so determined to get an answer from Dylan. She would be disappointed if his son would choose his mate over his twin sister.
"Cedric Morgan… Mother… that guy… couldn't be trusted. He is a traitor. Don't trust him." Dylan finally said it, making his mother gasp in surprise.
"What do you mean, son?" Serena knew that her son was not getting along well with Cedric since then.
"He tried to eliminate me the first day I stepped into this world…" Dylan clenched his fists. Those unpleasant memories were still fresh in his mind. He almost thought he would die during the attack. If not for Kira, he should have been dead by now.
"What? He did that?! Are you sure, son… the one who attacked you is Cedric, not vampires?" Serena was still in doubt. Of course, she wanted to believe her son but she had never imagined that Cedric would do such a thing. Attacking the Werewolf Prince could be considered Rebellion!
"Yes, mother. I am certain… It was Cedric together with his men. Besides, I have a witness. It's Kira. He was the one who saved me." Dylan remembered that Kira was the one who informed him about the members of Triple W.
Meanwhile, Serena was taken aback after hearing Dylan's last remarks.
'Kira… that guy saved my son…' Serena's heart was filled with different emotions. She didn't know if she should feel glad or not.
After the arguments a while ago, Kira showed them his extraordinary power by stopping Dominique from hitting Serena. In that situation alone was enough to raise their suspicion that he might be the Vampire King that they knew a thousand years ago.
Serena was about to say something when Dominique suddenly showed up from their backs.
"What are you still doing here? I said we should go!" Dominique's cold voice resounded in their ears.
Serena and Dylan exchanged meaningful glances with one another. This was not the time to reveal Cedric's evil scheme. The two both knew that Dominique would never believe that Cedric was a traitor without concrete evidence.
Serena just nodded her head, motioning Dylan to stay silent. "Dylan will not join us in the car. Let's go." Serena was trusting Dylan's plan. If he didn't want to show himself in front of Cedric then Serena would help him do that.
Dominique just frowned but he didn't object. He was already in a hurry. He couldn't afford to waste his time arguing with his wife and his son.
He turned around, walking towards the exit. But before he left, he tossed one last look in Marceline's and Kira's direction. He ground his teeth while clenching his fists. He was looking daggers at Kira.
'I swear… if he is the Vampire King… I will kill him once again… with my own hands!' Dominique was surrounded by a cold and chilly aura. But his expression softened when his gaze fell on Marceline's face.
Dominique wanted to approach Marceline but he had to leave now. 'Why do I feel so attached to her? Is she really not my daughter? Sigh.' Shaking his head in disappointment, Dominique finally came out of the restaurant. He was looking forward to meeting Cedric and Stellan at Triple W Headquarters.
