Kira stepped out of the car. His head was still bleeding but his wound was slowly healing. The bystanders who witnessed the accident called the emergency responder to help Kira.

But Kira ignored their presence as he walked away, leaving the car. The people wondered where Kira was going. They thought he needed to go to the hospital as he was injured.

Kira’s heart was the one in pain, not his injury. He didn’t know where he should go. He just continued walking on the streets. He was not in his usual self. Only Selene could affect him this much. He felt like he was losing his mind.

Kira hadn’t noticed how much distance he walked after leaving his car. Other people were watching him in puzzlement. The bloodstain on his forehead and face got was still visible but his wound already healed.

A few minutes later, a car stopped just a few steps away from Kira. Then he heard Marceline’s voice calling his name.

“Kira!” She called him out while running in his direction.

Kira turned around only to be greeted by Marceline’s worried expression.

“What happened to you?” Marceline immediately held his face to check his wound. “Come with me. Let’s heal your wound!” Marceline immediately grabbed his hand, pulling him towards her car.

Kira just let her drag him, following Marceline. Upon entering the car, Marceline sped off. They were now on the way to the Zhou Ancestral Mansion.

While driving, she felt very anxious. Kira was unusually quiet. His eyes were fixed on the car window, watching the outside scenery with a sullen expression on his face.

Marceline wanted to ask him but Kira was giving off the vibe of not wanting to talk about anything. His mind seemed like wandering off somewhere.

Fifteen minutes later, Marceline and Kira arrived at the Zhou Ancestral Mansion. She left Little Lowell in the Golden City District Hospital together with Dylan so the mansion was empty. There were only two of them inside.

“Sit here. I will just get the first aid kit,” Marceline said, pushing Kira down on the sofa.

She hastily left to find the first aid kit. Seconds later, Marceline was already carrying the small bag of the first aid kit.

She sat down beside Kira and began to clean and remove the bloodstain on his face using cotton and alcohol. 

Kira was very silent while she was doing that. He was just staring at her absentmindedly. Marceline could only heave a deep sigh. She was not used to seeing Kira like this.

‘What’s wrong with him? He made me worry too much.’

“Are you still in pain? Where are you hurting?” Marceline soft asked him.

Kira looked straight into her eyes, grabbing her hand. Then he pressed her palm against his chest.

“Here… I’m hurting here, My Lady. It’s still not healing… My heart is broken…” Kira answered her truthfully.

Marceline was rendered speechless when she heard those words from Kira. ‘Is this because of his former lover who betrayed him? But what triggered him to remember it?’

Marceline was still lost in her thoughts when Kira suddenly pulled her, trapping her in his arms.

“My Lady… can you please hug me? I feel so empty…” Kira mumbled with his pleading voice.

Marceline nodded her head as she hugged him back. They just embraced each other for several minutes, not saying a word.

When they broke apart, Marceline confronted him. “Were you reminded of her? Is she the reason why you are hurting right now?” She was referring to Kira’s werewolf lover, Selene.

Kira fell silent for a moment. Then after a while, he said “Yes…”

Marceline couldn’t stop herself from being jealous of her. Without saying a word, Marceline cupped Kira’s face. Then she crushed her mouth against his lips, kissing him with fervent need.

Kira was caught off guard by Marceline’s actions. But the moment he recalled the lovely scene between Dominique and Serena, Kira began responding to her with the same intensity as hers.

The two were kissing each other passionately, their lips moving fiercely and hungrily. His tongue ravaged the sweetness of her mouth as he held her captive through this aggressive kiss.

Marceline wanted him to forget about Selene and just focused on her. With all her might, she pinned him on the sofa, still kissing him.

Kira grabbed the back of her head as he ground his mouth against her soft lips. She could only open her mouth helplessly beneath his probing tongue.

Their tongues wrestled inside her mouth and he began sucking her and licking her in a sensuous manner. At this moment, Kira slowed down as he wanted to savor her lips by kissing her tenderly. Marceline was matching his every movement.

As they were having their intimate moment, Marceline thought that she could no longer hide her feelings towards Kira.

With what happened to Grandpa Roland and Aunt Brianna, Marceline realized that life was too short. She didn’t want to waste time and regret everything in the end.

As much as possible, she should grab this opportunity now and tell Kira how much she loved him. She was willing to help him forget about his ex-lover.

‘I love him. I love Kira. I will do my best to replace her. Someday, I will be the one occupying her heart, not that woman,’ Marceline thought to herself as she deepened the kiss further. No one between them wanted to stop kissing.

Kira and Marceline just broke the kiss when they needed to gasp some oxygen. That long passionate kiss left them breathless.

Marceline stared wordlessly across at him, her heart pounding. She was a little bit nervous as she was about to do something she had never done before.

She focused her eyes on Kira, giving him an intense gaze. Mustering up her courage, Marceline finally opened her mouth to speak.

“Kira…” she called his name.

“Hmm?” Kira raised his hand, caressing Marceline’s cheek as he waited for her to continue her words.

“Kira, I… I love you.”
