"Last night… you took my virginity. I want you to take responsibility so… MARRY !"
Kira was at a loss for words when Marceline's words sunk into him.
'She wants to marry her…' Kira didn't know how he would react to this.
Her words sounded more like a command than asking him. But wait… how co the woman was the one proposing a marriage to him?
Kira just watched her with amusent and fascination, his lips tongue-tied.
Marceline arched her eyebrow when Kira remained unresponsive to her. 'What's wrong with him? Did he lose the ability to speak?'
"Don't you want to marry ? Ok, it's fine. I'm just gonna find soone else," Marceline said, turning around to leave.
She didn't want to hear the refusal coming from Kira himself. It seed like she was the only one who had special feelings for him. What if Kira still loved that woman? Was he still hoping to reunite with his first love, Selene?
His silence was telling her that Kira was hesitating to accept her marriage proposal. She couldn't bla him. Her proposal was too sudden. She wanted to scold herself for saying it out loud.
She didn't want to look desperate. If Kira didn't feel anything for her aside from physical attraction, then Marceline had decided to hide her true feelings for him.
She was afraid she would be rejected by the first man she loved. Hiding the disappointnt on her face, Marceline maintained her blank expression as she traced her steps towards the door.
But just before she could reach the doorknob, Kira already wrapped his arm around her waist, hugging her from behind.
Little did she know, the bond between them allowed Kira to know her feelings. Even if Marceline would try to hide her disappointnts and frustrations from him, Kira could still feel them.
If only Kira would acknowledge their mate bond, they would be able to understand each other deeply, read each other's thoughts, and feel each other's feelings further.
"Of course, I will take responsibility for you…" Kira softly cooed in her ear, pulling her closer against his body, her back rested on Kira's broad chest.
"But aside from what happened to us last night, do you have another reason for wanting to marry ? I wanna know your thoughts."
'Yes… I want to marry you because I love you,' Marceline thought to herself. This ti she didn't dare to say it out loud for Kira to hear.
"Yes. I have another reason…" she said, making Kira beco more interested in what she was about to say.
"I have to marry soone before my grandfather agrees to my Uncle's proposal of marrying off to Silvano Family. The second reason is that… I want Cedric Morgan to stop chasing after . What if he will do another sche? I'm so lucky that he failed to have last night."
Kira felt a little bit disappointed, knowing her reasons. Maybe part of him wanted to hear if Marceline had romantic feelings for him to the extent she wanted to marry him. But it turned out, Marceline just wanted to stop the evil sche of her Uncle and his accomplice, Cedric Morgan.
"Alright! Let's get married then. I promised to help you and keep you safe all the ti. Use all you want, I won't stop you."
Marceline tried her best to hide her negative emotions. She was also displeased hearing those words from Kira. He sounded like he was just doing this because of their agreent.
"Yes… let's do it," she murmured, looking away while clenching her fists.
"Don't worry. This is just for show. You will just beco my husband in front of other people. I will handle everything… for our f-fake marriage," she added. Marceline wanted to comnd herself for not giving away her true feelings.
"You are no longer my bodyguard. You will now beco my other half. My husband…"
Kira's heart skipped a beat at the ntion of the words 'My husband'. He couldn't understand his own self. He had mixed feelings and conflicting thoughts about this.
"Yes, I understand."
"Let go now. I will call my lawyer to draft the FAKE marriage agreent between us," Marceline said, feeling annoyed. She crumpled her face while pouting her lips. Kira didn't even react when she emphasized the word 'FAKE'.
'I wanna beat this vampire, using him as my punching bag!' Marceline lanted to herself.
anwhile, Kira was lost in his thoughts, his mind wandering off sowhere. He was still hugging her, contemplating whether he would bring up Stella or not.
He didn't know where to start and how he would tell her the truth. 'Marceline is a strong woman. But I am afraid she will not be able to accept the truth that she had beco a werewolf, the race she loathed the most.
"Kira, I said let go… you are gripping my body tightly. Do you have sothing to say? Why do you look so troubled? Is there any problem? Are you still conflicted about our marriage arrangent? Tell now and just be honest with ," Marceline urged him to speak his mind when she noticed that he was distracted and troubled by sothing.
"No. It's not about our marriage. I'm sorry. Please don't misinterpret. I am thinking about sothing else."
Her perfectly shaped eyebrows were drawn together in a frown. "Are you thinking of her?" Marceline was referring to Selene.
"Of course not! It's not her!" He promptly responded. 'It's Stella, your wolf!' Kira added to his thoughts.
"I'm thinking about a white werewolf," he said.
"Why are you thinking about a white wolf? Is Selene a white wolf?" Marceline removed Kira's arms from her waist and she turned around to face him.
Kira sensed jealousy in her tone. He could only look at her helplessly, scratching the back of his neck.
"I haven't seen Selene's wolf form. But recently, I saw a white werewolf, a giant one. It is said to be the rarest kind of werewolf and the strongest one." He paused for a mont trying to assess Marceline's reaction. She was just looking at him silently.
"Boss Lin… perhaps, do you wish to have super strength and magical power just like and other creatures? If you are given a chance to gain the power of a white wolf, will you accept it? Will you be okay to beco a werewolf in exchange for great power?" Kira asked her opinion about this.
He made it look like a hypothetical question to test her reaction. He was assessing if Marceline would be fine after knowing her nature as a werewolf who possesses great power. If she does, then Marceline will be able to accept Stella and her other-self.
anwhile, Marceline took her ti absorbing Kira's hypothetical question before answering it.
'Acquiring a great power that can fight those creatures, but in exchange, I will beco a werewolf, a creature I hated the most… Will I be okay with that?'
After contemplating for a mont, Marceline raised her head, eting Kira's gaze.
"Why don't you just turn into a vampire? I think a vampire is more powerful than a werewolf. See… you defeated four werewolves easily."
Kira: "..."
