Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Kingdom Phantasia… ]

A group of werewolves was traversing the Southern forest. It was the convoy guarding the Queen of Werewolves.

She decided to stroll around the forest, enjoying the beauty of nature. She asked her guards to stand by at the entrance of the forest. She wanted to be alone.

In this forest, she reminisced some of the memories together with the person close to her but she ended up deceiving that person for her own happiness.

She continued walking until she reached the hidden cave where she used to live and grew up. Her childhood memories were not that pleasant. She had been lonely.

She acquired the title Luna, and the Queen of Werewolves, but no one knew about her past. She was always weak and sick despite the fact her parents were the strongest Alpha and Luna of their Moon Crescent Pack.

Because of her illness, she had been living in isolation. The other members of their pack had no idea about her existence, only the elders. She was the hidden child of the Alpha and Luna of Moon Crescent Pack.

When she was young, she dreamed of being useful and bringing glory to the clan someday despite her flaws. She wanted to prove that she was a worthy she-wolf… that she deserved to be part of the Legendary Moon Crescent Pack.

She also wanted to be acknowledged by the members of the pack, not hiding in the shadow of her sister. She wished to contribute to the greatness of their pack so she worked hard.

But because of the war between the Werewolf Clan and Vampire Clan, her parents died and were killed by the vampires. She had a sister who was meant to rule the Moon Crescent Pack. But because of Kira, her sister died.

But the real question was 'Is Kira the true reason for the death of her sister? She might be blaming the wrong person.

She reached the entrance of the cave. But to her surprise, someone was there.

"Selene!!!" A woman wearing a black robe called her out upon seeing her face.

Her expression dimmed when she heard that name. It reminded her of the painful memories she wanted to forget and bury in her past.

A light gleam flashed through her eyes as she recognized the lady in a black robe. She was Gisel, her sister's former Beta.

"I didn't expect to see you here…" Gisel slowly approached her. She was about to hug her but she stepped back to avoid her, maintaining a distance between them.

"Don't call me by that name. I am now Serina, the Queen of Werewolves… your Luna."

Gisel was saddened at the cold treatment she received from her friend. She thought she would be glad to see her again. She also wondered why Selene changed her name. Was it because of Kira, the Vampire King?

She had been traveling for a thousand years, leaving the Moon Crescent Pack to pursue her dream. Gisel wanted to explore different places in both the Human World and Kingdom Phantasia.

"Forgive me, my Luna. I didn't mean to offend nor upset you with my actions. I am just glad to see you here." Gisel immediately kneeled and bowed her head to give curtsy to their Luna.

"You've been gone for so long. Are you back for good?" Serina asked her with her cold front. She was no longer the warmhearted person she used to be. She seemed to be a different person.

"Yes… I'm back to serve you," Gisel responded.

Serina just stared at her with her blank expression. There were lots of elite werewolf fighters who were serving her. She didn't need Gisel.

"Don't bother. Just do the things you like… things that can make you happy…" After saying that, Serina turned around to leave. Her mood was ruined upon meeting Gisel. She didn't like other people to know that she dropped by the hidden cave today.

Who would have thought that she would meet her old acquaintance here today? She wasn't prepared for that.

Before Gisel would notice something strange about her, Serina decided to leave and go back to the palace. She would continue her stroll next time.

Gisel still wanted to talk and bond with her. But Serina already dismissed her. Her expression was telling her that their Luna wasn't happy to see her.

She just watched her back, thinking about those happy moments they shared together.

"She has changed so much since that day. Is she still thinking about the Vampire King? Is she still blaming herself for his disappearance?" Gisel wondered to herself.

"Does she still love him?"

Gisel didn't know what happened between them. All she knew was that Selene loved Kira even though she was claimed by Dominique as his mate.

Selene always shared her feelings with her. So she knew how much she cared about Kira.

After a while, Gisel clenched her fists. A hint of anger could be seen in her eyes.

"Dominique Silvano… he made her like this! She is no longer the Selene whom I used to know. It was Dominique's fault! He rejected Selene before because she was too weak but when he learned that Selene got close to Kira, he began to acknowledge her as his mate." Gisel recalled those moments when Selene was sharing her troubles with her.

Gisel was her shoulders-to-cry-on. She saw how Selene suffered humiliation when Alpha Dominique rejected her in front of the whole clan.

"He used Selene and their mate's bond to scheme against Kira. Now he has become the King of Kingdom Phantasia for one thousand years!"

Gisel sighed deeply, wondering if Selene had ever regretted her choice and decision.

"I have to stay with her. I need to bring back the warm and soft-hearted woman that I used to know, my good friend..."

With that resolution in mind, Gisel followed Serina going back to the palace. Even if she didn't want her to stay, this time she would never leave her. She decided to stick by her side.
