Kira and Serena met each other’s eyes for just two seconds before the elevator’s door was closed.

Kira’s heart was still beating loudly inside his chest. It had been so long since the last time he saw her face. The face of the woman with whom he fell in love.

He didn’t know whether he would stop the elevator and run towards her or just leave that place as soon as possible and run away from her.

*Ding!*

The lift reached the lobby. The door slid open and other people started to step out of the elevator.

He was having conflicting thoughts right now. He wondered if she recognized him within those seconds they had eye-to-eye contact.

‘Will she go down and follow me? Will she look for me?’ Kira was asking himself as he stepped out of the elevator.

“Selene…” Kira mumbled, pressing his hand on his chest. He stayed rooted in his spot for several seconds just waiting for the elevator to move.

Deep inside, he wished that Selene would go down to see him. But a minute had passed, and no one came down.

‘Selene… have you forgotten about me, already?’ Kira asked himself, his eyes still fixed on the elevator.

After a while, Kira smiled bitterly before he turned around to leave. He remembered the last words he told Selene a thousand years ago in the Valley of Promise.

{ “If ever we meet again… don’t you dare approach me… Make sure that you will stay away from me… because I might end up killing you… and I don’t want that to happen.” }

Kira wondered if those words were the reason why Selene didn’t follow him in the lobby.

‘Did she really think I would kill her?’ 

Kira left the Triple W Headquarters, feeling a little bit disappointed. He was distracted when he entered his car. He was supposed to go and capture Evelyn Zhou. But Kira’s mind was so preoccupied by Selene who was now called Serena.

He remained inside the car, not yet leaving the parking space. It did not take long when Dominique Silvano appeared in front of the building.

Kira frowned upon seeing his mortal nemesis. Gisel was no longer with him. ‘Where is Gisel? I hope Serafino can find her as soon as possible.’

Kira continued observing Dominique secretly. When the Werewolf King entered the Triple W Headquarters, his wife immediately welcomed him with a hug.

Kira’s heart clenched the moment he saw Dominique and Serena hugging each other. She was smiling lovingly at Dominique. His expression darkened as he suddenly felt jealous.

Kira thought he already moved on but he was mistaken. He was still affected by her ex-lover. He hated to see her happy with Dominique.

Kira assumed that Selene was the one who protected him from being killed a thousand years ago. However, now that he could see how happy Selene was in Dominique’s arms, he didn’t know what to believe anymore.

‘If it was not you… then who saved me?’

Kira could no longer bear to see Dominique and Selene aka Serena together so he started the car and left. He sped off in the busy street of the Golden City with his heart filled with rage and jealousy.

Kira’s scarlet eyes set ablaze. Unknowingly, his tears started to fall from the corners of his eyes. He hated this feeling. How he wished he woke up in this world with no recollection of Selene. He wanted to forget all the pains but it came back after seeing the two together.

Kira’s heart was in a chaotic state and his mind was in shambles when he received a call from Marceline. Kira didn’t answer it. He didn’t want to talk to anyone as of this moment.

Kira continued to drive without a clear destination in mind. He didn’t know how he would calm himself. He had the urge to go on a rampage.

“Damn!” Kira punched the steering wheel, breaking it on the spot.

*Screeching Sound!*

*CRASH!*

*Thud!*

Kira’s car hit a concrete wall as he lost control of the car after the steering wheel got broken. Kira hit his head on the windshield, causing his head to bleed.

“Kira? What is that sound? Where are you?” Marceline’s voice was heard coming from the cellphone. Kira accidentally pressed the answer button during the collision.

“Kira? Are you okay?” Marceline got worried as Kira didn’t respond. He just remained seated while looking at the front absentmindedly.

“Kira???!” Marceline called him out once again.

This time Kira gazed down, picking his phone up. After sighing deeply, Kira finally answered Marceline.

“I’m hurt… My Lady… I’m in so much pain,” Kira said, his voice trembling.

Marceline’s concern for Kira heightened when she heard those words. “Ki… hang on. I’m coming… I’m coming for you!” Marceline said with urgency in her voice and at the same time, there was a hint of promise in her words.

Marceline hung up the call and dialed Xyon’s number. She asked him to find Kira’s current location.

She was in the Golden City District Hospital when Kira’s accident happened. Though she knew that Kira was a strong vampire, she was still worried-sick about him.

Meanwhile, in the Triple W Headquarters, Dominique and Serena continued their tour around, inspecting and checking the security system of the headquarters.

Aside from finding the werewolf princess, Dominique went into the human world to find out what was happening in Triple W. It was alarming knowing that vampires were able to infiltrate their main HQ.

They were walking in the hallway when Serena whispered something to Dominique. “Where have you been? Did you get some clue about our daughter’s whereabouts?” 

Dominique squeezed her hand while shaking his head in disappointment. “I haven’t found her yet. But I am positive that we will meet her here in this city.”

For some unknown reason, Dominique remembered the woman whom he met in the Golden City Bridge. Their daughter might be at the same age as that woman.. Their missing princess was a grown woman by now.
