Marceline was already in the lobby when Kira stopped her. They were supposed to go home together but Marceline decided to hang out with Lyca tonight.

"Where are you going?" Kira softly asked her. There was a gleam of concern in his eyes as he glanced at her.

"You go home first. I will meet Lyca. I will sleep over at her house tonight."

Kira's brows snapped together upon hearing that. "You're not coming home? What should I tell Lowell? I guess he is waiting for you now."

Kira used Little Lowell as an excuse for Marceline to go home. Besides, he wouldn't feel at ease if Marceline was not around.

"I already asked his nanny to bring Lowell to Xyon's apartment. He will stay at his house tonight while I'm not around."

The crease on Kira's forehead deepened further. 'Does it mean I will be alone in that mansion… tonight? Marceline really wants to avoid me.' Kira clenched his fists at that thought.

"Since you are meeting Lyca, is Dylan there as well?" Kira couldn't hide his unhappiness. He didn't want Marceline and Dylan to be together.

"No. This is exclusive only for girls. Lyca and Me," Marceline emphasized to him. Of course, she would try her best to avoid and distance herself from Dylan since he was a werewolf.

Kira felt relieved knowing that Dylan won't be there. Left with no choice, Kira had to leave without Marceline. Maybe giving each other time and space could help them clear their minds first and fix whatever problems they had.

"Okay. Just be careful… Call me if you need me." Kira showed his concern for her. But Marceline tried her best to ignore it. She didn't need his concern. What she needed was his LOVE.

Marceline just nodded her head, motioning Kira to leave. Since she was already sending him away, Kira could only sigh helplessly before turning to leave.

The two seemed to be in a cold war as they went separate ways. Kira went back to the Zhou Ancestral Mansion while Marceline drove to the Pub where Lyca was going to meet her.

Kira was contemplating whether to follow Marceline or not. But he was afraid that Marceline would hate him more for not respecting her privacy. With her super senses, Marceline would be able to find out that Kira was following her. So in the end, Kira just went home.

It was a good decision from Kira's end since the werewolves were on the move. They started tailing him as well. Cedric was in-charge of this investigation. His task was to investigate whether Kira was the former Vampire King or not.

Aside from werewolves, the vampires who were under Victoria's command were also searching for Kira. Beatrice's information regarding Kira pushed Victoria to investigate whether Kira was alive or not.

Both races were trying to confirm if the Vampire King was also here in the human world– still alive and kicking!

Fifteen minutes later… Kira reached the Zhou Ancestral Mansion. The house was empty, unlike before, wherein Aunt Brianna was always there, greeting them with her warm smile.

'Sigh. How I wish her Aunt Brianna is still alive. She's the one always looking out for Marceline.' Kira was still not used to Aunt Brianna's absence.

She was a mother figure to Marceline so he knew how difficult it was for her without Aunt Brianna by her side, especially in times like this. Aunt Brianna could also give good advice for them to fix whatever conflict and argument they had.

"I bet she's already missing her. Now, she only has Lyca whom she could share her burden with." Kira understood why Marceline chose to stay with her best friend rather than staying at the mansion tonight. They were not on good terms as of now.

Kira proceeded to the wine cellar attached to the kitchen. He wanted to drink tonight as he felt so lonely in that big mansion. Just like the house, his heart felt empty without Marceline.

"Sigh. I wonder how long she will be upset with me? I want us to go back to normal…" Kira muttered, pushing the door of the wine cellar. His mind was preoccupied by Marceline. He kept thinking about her.

Kira was in deep thought when someone barged into the house. Kira's forehead furrowed and the corners of his eyes crinkled as he sensed the uninvited guest. It was none other than Cedric Morgan!

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kira asked with his chilly tone. He didn't turn around to see Cedric who was standing at the entrance door of the wine cellar. Kira just continued picking wine. He couldn't decide what bottle he would choose.

"Do you want sweets? Try Moscato Wine," Cedric suggested, ignoring Kira's question. He even stepped inside without waiting for Kira's invitation.

"Mutt, I'm not in the mood to entertain you. Don't let me repeat my question," Kira sounded annoyed. This time he faced Cedric with his glaring crimson eyes.

Cedric smirked at him, raising both hands. "Calm down, Mr. Alaric. I'm just here to ask you a few questions. I hope you will answer me truthfully." 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Kira raised his eyebrow, still displeased by Cedric's presence. "Ask now!" He hissed.

"Where is Marceline?" Cedric blurted out. He should be asking Kira about his real identity but he ended up looking for Marceline. He couldn't smell her scent around the house so he could tell that she was not there.

On the other hand, Kira shot him another cold sharp glare. His possessiveness towards Marceline struck again. He hated it when another guy was searching for her. He knew that Cedric had ill motives towards Marceline.

In a flash, Kira pushed Cedric on the wall, grabbing him on his collar."I already warned you! Stay away from her and don't even bother her!"

Cedric held Kira's arms, trying to escape from his tight grasp. But Kira was too powerful as he was angered by him.

"Let. Go! I'm just here to talk… I don't have a plan to fight you. Besides, I don't want to ruin this place. Your wife will kill us both if her favorite wine cellar is destroyed."

Kira didn't let go, but he looked around, assessing his surroundings. Cedric was right. Marceline would be mad if something would be broken in the house.

"You are lucky tonight. I don't want to anger my wife." Kira mumbled before releasing Cedric.
