After connecting the dots, Kira asked Stella further about Marceline's condition, wanting to confirm something.
"Those moments when she was losing herself and couldn't remember some things after waking up… were they related to you? Her blackout?"

'This is the effect of the communication barrier between us. She will always have this gap in her memories… as if something is taken from her. But once we get rid of this communication barrier and we become one, Marceline will be aware of what she is doing even in her wolf form or whenever I will take over her body.' Stella continued supplying Kira pieces of information about the bond between Marceline and her wolf.
She was pointing out the importance of their union as one entity. If that happens, Marceline would completely become a real werewolf! She would be more powerful than any other werewolves.
Kira was oblivious of the true strength Marceline possessed. She had a bloodline of an Alpha.
But Kira was still puzzled why Marceline became a white wolf… a giant white wolf! He heard about the legend about white werewolves. They were the rarest type of werewolf, the most powerful of their kind.

He was lost in his own thoughts when Stella's voice snapped him back to the present. "So please, help me. Tell Marceline about me… about her other self."
Kira still had conflicting thoughts about this. His hatred towards werewolves was stopping him from fulfilling her request. But part of him was telling him that she was still Marceline so he had to help them both.
Kira believed that Marceline was just a victim. Her life changed because of that one bite.
"I can't decide on that yet. I don't want to give her a great shock. She might react negatively once she learns the truth. But…"
'But what?' Stella looked at him with so much interest in her eyes.
She was slowly approaching Kira. At this moment, Kira didn't move back as he remained standing in his spot. He already lowered his guard since somewhere in his subconscious, he believed that Marceline's wolf would not attack him.
"But I want to ask you about something… How did Marceline turn into a werewolf? She's a member of the Zhou Family, the gatekeeper of the Northern Gate Portal," Kira asked her curiously.
"That question… is something I can't answer. But I can tell you that I was awakened… when she reached her 18 years of human age."
Kira wrinkled his brows upon hearing her answer. For some unknown reason, he felt like there was still a missing piece to solve the puzzle. Her answer didn't give him further clues.
He was not familiar with the werewolf's age of awakening so he couldn't differentiate whether Marceline was a naturally born werewolf or she was turned into a werewolf due to a werewolf bite.
Kira spaced out once again that he failed to notice that the giant white wolf already closed the distance. Stella, Marceline's wolf, could no longer fight the urge to lick Kira on his face and nudge her head on his body as if she was asking him to pet her head.
Kira, who was caught off guard, just watched Marceline's wolf form in amusement. He didn't hate the fact that she was licking him right now. Reflexively, Kira raised his hand to stroke the wolf's head, gently patting her.
Marceline's wolf felt so happy when Kira willingly touched her. He was no longer avoiding her. But she could still feel a little bit of awkwardness and reluctance coming from Kira. She knew that he still hadn't acknowledged their mate bond. She was also aware that Kira hated werewolves.
But no matter what grudges he had for her kind, he couldn't change the fact that they were fated to each other… connected by the mate bond!
Savoring the gentle touch of Kira's hand patting her head, Stella continued licking his gorgeous face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile she was doing that Kira realized something. "Was it you… the one who treated my wounds? They are completely cured now. The poison is gone."
'Yes, I am.'
Kira nodded his head. He understood how she was able to do that. Werewolf's bite could be poisonous to them (vampires), but a werewolf's saliva also had a healing effect to neutralize the poison brought by a werewolf bite only if they wished to heal someone.
"Thank you…" Kira softly said, feeling grateful towards her.
'I have to go now, mate… Marceline is going to wake up soon.' Stella circled Kira, rubbing her furry body against his body.
"Wait, I am curious. Why did you suddenly show up in your wolf form today?" Kira asked her another question.
'Because of our mate bond… After having an intimate moment with her, the seal got temporarily deactivated. Of course… I was triggered by your passion.' She was referring to the first union of Kira and Marceline as they made love last night.
Kira was rendered speechless, just staring at her with mixed emotions. He couldn't help but recall that wonderful night he had shared with her.
'A wolf's desire is so hard to contain. You are my mate! You triggered me to come out!' Stella explained to him.
Kira: "..." ( Speechless )
'Since you exhausted Marceline last night, she felt so tired that I was able to take over her body for a long time.I also grabbed this opportunity to talk to you, ask for your help, and tell you all of this. Ki… I will be counting on you.' After saying that, Stella suddenly felt sleepy. It was time to go.
She lay on the ground next to Kira until she completely lost consciousness. He was able to witness how Marceline transformed back to her human form. A few minutes later, Kira scooped Marceline's naked body, transferring her to the bedroom next door. Marceline's bed got destroyed last night after their hot and passionate moment.
