[ Zhou Ancestral Mansion… ]

The Next Day…

Marceline stayed all night just taking care of Kira. She never left his room as she watched him over until dawn. She was so worried about his health.

Kira reassured her that he was strong and his power was magnificent as if he was invincible to defeat every opponent he would encounter.

But last night, she saw him at his weakest, frail, and vulnerable. She was scared to death thinking he was hurt badly. She almost brought him to the hospital. 

Fortunately, Aunt Brianna was there to calm her down. She helped Marceline in putting Kira on his bed. With her medical knowledge, Aunt Brianna examined Kira's condition.

They found out that his life was not in danger. He was not severely injured as he had no wound at all. It's just that Kira was very exhausted from overusing his mind control ability.

It drained him a lot when he used his own energy force to boost the strength and power of those werewolves he was controlling. His body was not yet in hundred percent condition as he was still adjusting after awakening from his thousand years of deep sleep.

With Aunt Brianna's explanation, Marceline was able to ease up a little bit. She just let Kira sleep, hoping he would recover soon. She was thinking of feeding him her blood once he wakes up.

She wanted to stay awake and wait for him to regain consciousness but due to tiredness, she eventually fell asleep while sitting on the chair, her head leaning on the edge of Kira's bed.

Kira opened his eyes, puzzled at the sudden change in light. It turned out. It was already morning and the sun had already risen in the sky. Pushing away the slight dizziness, he struggled to sit up.

Smelling Marceline's scent, automatically Kira's eyes flicked in her direction. He had mixed emotions upon seeing her sleeping figure. 

He felt so glad to wake up and the first thing he would see was her. But he felt guilty when her face showed signs of tiredness and fatigue.

'Did she stay here all night to accompany me? I guess I made her worry once again when I suddenly fainted in front of her. Damn! I'm not that weak but it seems like I haven't recovered yet from my past injury.'

Subconsciously, Kira's hand reached out to her face, pushing the tendrils of hair away from her cheek. Then he caressed her right cheek with the knuckle of his fingers. Her skin was so soft and smooth… and unimaginably warm.

Feeling the slight brush of his fingers against her skin, the heavy lashes that shadowed her cheeks flew up as Marceline was finally awakened.

Marceline looked up only to meet his penetrating gaze. She quickly stood up, placing her hands on both his shoulders. Fear and worry could be seen in her emerald eyes.

"How are you? Are you still feeling sick? You strained your body too much by using too much power last night." She didn't hide her deep concern for this man.

"You can take my blood to replenish your strength," she added desperately, her eyes scanning him from his face down to his body.

On the other hand, Kira frowned seeing the dark circles under her eyes, signifying she didn't get enough sleep last night.

This time he didn't want to take advantage of her offer. Marceline might be the next one to collapse if he continued consuming her blood. He just drank her blood twice yesterday. She also looked pale this morning.

Touching her chin while flashing his charming smile, Kira politely refused her offer of feeding him her blood.

"Don't worry about me, my Lady. I'm fine now. You are the one who needs to take a rest and replenish your strength. You look sleepy and tired. Come here, join me, and lay beside me."

Without waiting for Marceline's reply, Kira pulled her, causing her to fall forward thus landing on top of his body. He locked her in his arms quickly, not allowing her to leave his bed.

Marceline could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that Kira was just fine, teasing her as early as this morning. He knew she couldn't say no as she also liked being cuddled by him.

"Sleep, my Lady. Have a sweet dream." Kira was gently patting her back while stroking her hair.

"But it's almost 10:00 am," Marceline said, pointing out that she shouldn't stay on the bed at this hour.

"Who cares about the time? My Lady Boss needs her beauty rest," Kira promptly responded.

"I have to report to the company… so much work I have to do."

"Just be absent today and take a day off! Just leave everything to Aunt Brianna," Kira insisted, not allowing her to go to work.

"Sigh. Alright! But are you sure you don't need my blood?" Marceline asked him again. It was very rare for Kira to refuse her blood. She wondered why he didn't want to consume her blood today.

"Hmm, just reserve your blood on my next meal schedule. For now, you have to sleep. No more talking or else, I will force you to sleep!" Kira said, pretending to threaten her.

Marceline just bobbed her head before snuggling in his arms. She loved smelling his masculine scent so she nuzzled her nose on the crook of his neck as she slowly closed her eyes, still hugging Kira.

"Wake me up… after two hours," Marceline whispered in her sleepy state.

"Yes, my Lady… I will."

*After thirty minutes…*

When Marceline fell asleep, Kira decided to complete his unfinished job. He was done using those werewolves, now was the time to slay those mutts. 

Seeing how his fellow vampires suffered under the hands of Triple W members, the Vampire King would no longer show them mercy by keeping them alive. He was too lenient to them but it seemed that it was a mistake since werewolves didn't plan on going easy or letting the vampires live peacefully.

Using his mind's connection with those four werewolves, Kira gave them his one last command. "Kill yourselves!" Kira's scarlet eyes shone brightly after saying those words with murderous intent.. It was Kira's payback against Cedric for torturing and killing vampires.
