Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Both Marceline and Lyca disappeared last night in Crystal Crescent Manor Hotel without the knowledge of others. Enrique searched for the two ladies but he didn't find them. Even Grandpa Roland wondered why Marceline left without saying goodbye to him.

Dylan received several punches from Lyca. He just let her punch him all she wanted to vent her frustrations against him. He didn't mind it since her punches were just like a wind hitting him. He was not even hurt a little bit.

When she got tired, Dylan didn't waste any more time as he carried her on his shoulder, bringing her to the parking lot.

This time Dylan owned a car. The reason he didn't show up in front of Lyca for a week was that he was busy earning money. He worked part time in order to buy a car using his own money.

He felt ashamed for not having a car or a proper job. He wanted to pamper his mate and court her properly. But since he was in disguise and staying low profile, he couldn't use the Silvano Family's wealth.

Lyca fell asleep in his apartment when Dylan didn't allow her to leave. She tried to escape but he remained guarding the door. Lyca was so stubborn that she didn't want to listen to his explanation.

Lyca opened her eyes and realized she was still in Dylan's apartment. She was still wearing her gown last night. Her makeup was already ruined. She looked like a ghost.

"Damn! Why did I sleep here!" Lyca sat up immediately, tugging her hair. She darted her gaze everywhere. She felt relieved when she didn't see Dylan.

She was still mad at Dylan for leaving her as if nothing happened between them.

"Gosh. Is that guy an ironman? I punched him numerous times last night, I stepped on his foot and kicked his legs, but he never complained," Lyca mused to herself, standing up. She walked over, entering the bathroom.

She gasped upon seeing her reflection on the mirror. "Damn, I almost scared myself!" Her makeup was scattered all over her face.

She didn't have clothes aside from her gown so she was hesitant to take shower or not. But she couldn't present her ugly self to the gorgeous man outside the room.

"I should look presentable for me to leave this house with pride!"

Without further ado, Lyca took off her clothes and turned on the dial of the shower. She let the warm water fall on her body. She used Dylan's soap, rubbing it around her body.

She smiled inwardly as she smelled the vanilla scent around the bathroom. 'He really likes vanilla!'

Noticing the smile on her lips, she immediately shook her head, erasing the thoughts in her mind. She was supposed to get annoyed when thinking about Dylan, not smiling like a fool.

Lyca was still enjoying her shower when Dylan suddenly barged into the bathroom.

"Aaaah!!! Pervert! Go away!"

Lyca threw the soap at Dylan before covering the sensitive parts of her body. She turned around so that Dylan could only see her back. But her plump butt was still visible to him.

"What are you doing here? Leave me alone, you pervert!!!" Lyca screamed in annoyance, sending him away. But Dylan stayed rooted in his spot, admiring his mate's hot figure.

"No need to hide. I already saw them. I even touched and tasted them," Dylan said, teasing Lyca.

Lyca shot him with a cold sharp glare. "Go away! I hate you! You don't have the right to see my sexy figure! Leave now!"

But Dylan was reluctant to leave. "Can I join you?" He said cheekily, walking closer to her.

Lyca felt alarmed when Dylan continued advancing towards her.

"Stay there! Don't come near me!" She yelled.

But her words just fell on deaf ears. Dylan started to remove his clothes, revealing his muscular physique.

'Damn! He looks like Adonis. His body is so yummy,' Lyca's alter ego spoke to her, feasting her eyes on Dylan's excellent build.

This was the first time she saw this kind of built, a true masculine physique! He looked more gorgeous than those supermodels she saw in mens' magazines.

Lyca stepped back until her back rested on the cold wall. She wanted to get away from him. However, there was no escape route. She was trapped in his strong arms and large figure. He was already half-naked with only pants on.

"I will not leave you unless you listen to my explanation," Dylan cooed in her ear, holding her by the waist.

Lyca bit her lower lip, her cheeks burning red from embarrassment. Her body betrayed her as she got excited as soon as Dylan's hands touched her body.

'Get a grip of yourself, Lyca! Don't be swayed by his good looks.' She scolded herself inwardly.

She closed her eyes and pressed her hands on his chest to push him. But Dylan didn't budge even a little.

"Okay, let's talk. I will listen to you but please keep a distance from me!" Lyca said.

Dylan shook his head as he tightened his grip on her waist. "Let's talk like this. Hear me out."

"Okay." Lyca said, trying to resist Dylan's charm.

"I'm sorry if it took me one week before I was able to show myself up to you. I didn't take advantage of you that night. I didn't mean to leave you alone. Something came up, that's why I had to leave. I'm really sorry. Please give me another chance," He said desperately.

"Now, I came back. I will not leave you again. Instead, I decided to stick with you. Can I do that?"

Lyca's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard his last remarks. 'Stick with me? What does he mean by saying that?'

"Please, just tell me anything. I will do it, just give me another chance. I want to prove my sincerity!" Dylan rested his forehead against hers. He was speaking to her too closely.

"Alright! I will give you a chance!"

​ 'Gosh, is he a god of seduction? It's hard to ignore his charm. Just one pleading look from him, I have the urge to forgive him and believe him. Marceline will pull my hair out once she learns about this.'

Dylan's eyes lit up when he heard that. He felt like he won a lottery as his mate gave him a chance to pursue her and show his sincerity to her. He would not waste this opportunity.

"Thank you, Lyca!" Dylan kissed her on her forehead. He couldn't help it. He was rejoicing. Lyca made him happy.

"Now, can you go out. I need to take my shower… ALONE!"

Dylan bobbed his head frantically. He looked like an obedient child as he finally listened to her request.

He hugged her first, before turning around to leave. Lyca could only watch his back until he vanished from her sight. Her heart was still pounding so hard even though Dylan already left.

"That was a close call. I almost lost my self-control. He tempted me!" Lyca mumbled to herself.

On the other hand, Dylan already prepared their breakfast. He cooked for Lyca. He became Chef for one day as his part time job. Who would have thought that in just five days, Dylan could buy a brand new car? This was for Lyca. He wanted to impress her.

Dylan kept thinking on how he would manage his time, finding his sister, courting Lyca and earning money for his daily living and for Lyca.

"I heard that Zhou Empire is a top company in the Golden City. They are paying their employees with high salaries. Should I apply for any vacant position?"

Dylan saw a job posting in the Zhou Empire. Now he was considering it, working under the Zhou Empire.

'Hmm, My sister, please wait for me. I need to win the heart of your sister-in-law.'

*****

Meanwhile, in Zhou Ancestral Mansion, Kira woke up to the feel of someone licking his face. Upon opening his eyes, he was surprised to see a giant white wolf licking his face as if it was waking him up.

'A werewolf??! What the hell is a werewolf doing here?!!'

Kira immediately got off the bed, stepping back away from the giant white wolf. Then Marceline's face immediately popped up in his mind. He peered at his surroundings looking for her but he didn't see her.

'Damn, where is Boss Lin?!'

Kira's scarlet eyes shone in blazing rage, looking at the white wolf.

"Where is Marceline! What did you do to her?"
