Chapter 244 Their Target

Marceline was calm and composed. She was not nervous at all even though they were strangers following them. Well, she had no reason to be afraid.

She knew how to fight. Furthermore, she was not the same Marceline. She already possessed the strength of a white wolf. Aside from that, Dylan was also there. He could protect them if she chose not to show her true strength.

But one thing was bothering her. Who sent those men? She didn't know if they were after her or Lyca. She wondered if Natasha was the one who ordered those men to monitor them.

Marceline just focused on driving carefully. She would just make sure that Lyca could go home safely.

*Twenty Minutes Later…*

They reached Lyca's apartment. Marceline stepped out of the car first. Using her super senses, she assessed their surroundings. One car and one motorcycle also stopped nearby. The two men used the car while Dylan was the one riding the motorcycle.

"Lyca… get inside now. Stay at home and don't leave, understand?" Marceline said, pushing Lyca towards her apartment's door.

"Eh, why do you sound like a mother grounding her daughter?" Lyca said jokingly. She even giggled because of Marceline's protective gesture.

"I'm damn serious, Girl! Nothing's funny," Marceline pinched Lyca's cheeks.

"Aww! Stop that. Fine! I'm obeying you, Miss Celeste!"

"Good. Now go!" Marceline patted her butt before pushing her inside.

"Drive carefully! Update me tomorrow about Kira and your mission!" Lyca yelled at the door, still teasing Marceline.

Bam!

Marceline closed the door immediately. She turned her head from left to right, searching for someone. Soon, she heard the sound of a motorcycle approaching. It stopped in front of Lyca's apartment.

Dylan removed his helmet and extended his hand towards her, inviting her. "Do you want to try… riding a big bike?"

They had to go somewhere for them to talk and not be seen by Lyca.

"How about my car? She might wonder why my car is still parked in front of her apartment."

Dylan scratched his face while smiling sheepishly. It slipped his mind just because he wanted Marceline to ride the motorcycle with him.

"Alright. But do you want to ride my big bike next time? Sis?"

'Please say yes… before I leave and go back to Kingdom Phantasia, I wanna bond with you,' Dylan added to his thoughts.

"Hmm. I'll let you know… when I'm free." Marceline couldn't say no to Dylan, especially if he was giving her this puppy-eyed look. He was so damn charming like a cute puppy or should she say a cub.

"YES!!!" Dylan punched the air because of joy and excitement. He would look forward to that moment.

"You can bring Kira with you!" Dylan blurted out enthusiastically.

But Marceline just fell silent. Kira was against Dylan. Kira didn't want her to get close to Dylan so there was no way he would like to join Dylan. He would definitely oppose this idea.

"Dylan… let's go?" She decided not to respond regarding Kira.

Dylan just nodded at her, thinking that Marceline was just avoiding a topic about Kira because they were not on good terms right now.

"Let's go to the Night Cafe nearby. It's located in the next street." Dylan informed Marceline, wearing his helmet once again.

On the other hand, Marceline proceeded towards her car, still looking around to check those strangers who were following them a while ago. This time she would know if they were after her or not.

She wanted to see if they would still follow her. If not, then she had to inform Dylan and go back to protect Lyca. But she couldn't think of any reason why they would go after Lyca, instead of her.

Dylan and Marceline started to drive, leaving Lyca's apartment. Five minutes later, Marceline parked her car in front of the Night Cafe.

She knitted her brows when she realized that the two men didn't follow her.

"Damn! I am not their target. It's Lyca!" Marceline's heart suddenly raced. She was worried about Lyca.

Just when she was about to step into her car, Dylan stopped in front of her.

"Where are you going? We're here. Night Cafe!" Dylan pointed the cafe in front of them.

Marceline had no time to spare. She immediately hopped in, climbing Dylan's motorcycle as she sat at the back. Dylan turned at her confusedly.

Before Dylan could ask her what was happening, Marceline spoke up, giving him a brief overview of the situation.

"Dylan! Let's go back to Lyca's apartment! I think she is in danger. Two men have been following us a while ago ever since we left the Golden City Pub. I think they came for her, not me!"

Dylan's expression shifted right away. His gentle look suddenly became cold. Who would dare touch his mate? He would kill them!

"Hold me tight!" Dylan mumbled before turning the motorcycle around. He was driving at his full speed. In just a few minutes, they arrived at her apartment.

The lights were already off which was very unusual. Lyca just arrived and she was supposed to change and take a shower first. Why was the house so dark?

"I think… they cut the power off." Marceline mumbled.

Dylan and Marceline left the motorcycle as they dashed inside the house.

"Just stay outside, Marceline!" Dylan stopped her from going further.

Then Dylan stepped forward! He was the one who kicked the door.

Bam!

Marceline facepalmed when she saw that. Dylan was acting recklessly. He just let the culprits know that they came back.

However, she had nothing to worry about. Dylan was a werewolf so he could handle them easily, unless those men were also a different creature, not ordinary human being!

Though the place was dark, Dylan could see clearly through his super vision. One man was carrying an unconscious woman and one man was standing next to them. That woman was none other than Lyca!

Gritting his teeth, Dylan dashed in their direction, to take Lyca away from them. Dylan was on the verge of transforming as he could feel an intense anger after seeing Lyca's unconscious figure.

"Let. Her. Go."
