Lyca was the first person who saw Marceline. She was holding Little Lowell's hand as they approached their table. Little Lowell ran in Dylan's direction as soon as he saw him.
anwhile, Serena, Dominique, and Dylan turned to follow Lyca's line of sight. Marceline was already smiling at them. Then her gaze stopped at Serena. The two stared at each other's eyes for a mont. No one spoke between them.
Serena was speechless while looking at Marceline. She felt her heart skip a beat eting Marceline's erald eyes.
'Those eyes… look very similar…' Serena couldn't hide the amusent and disbelief on her face.
'Is she… my daughter? Why do I feel close to her? What is this sudden feeling of attachnt? This is just the first ti I see her.' The Queen of Werewolves couldn't help but wonder to herself.
Reflexively, her feet moved on their own accord. She stepped towards Marceline and without a second thought, Serena embraced her.
This action caught Marceline off guard. She almost pushed her away. She didn't know why but she felt sothing strange after getting in contact with Serena.
'Is it Stella? What's wrong with you?' Marceline asked Stella through their mind link. But Stella didn't respond to her at all.
"I'm sorry about that. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?" Serena asked Marceline softly after releasing her from her embrace. "I'm Serena, Dominique's wife. Nice eting you, Miss Zhou," she added, introducing herself.
Marceline just smiled at her awkwardly. She didn't know how she would respond to her. For so unknown reason, she didn't want to offend or upset her.
"I just got excited a while ago. My husband ntioned you to several tis. So I am dying to et you. And here we are now!" Serena spoke cheerfully.
Dominique could only watch his wife. This was the first ti he saw her being enthusiastic while talking to soone.
'She likes Marceline too,' Dominique smiled at that thought. 'What if she is truly our daughter?' He started to think that Marceline was their missing daughter. The werewolf princess!
"Little Lowell," Dylan pinched the boy's cheeks. He was glad to see the hybrid boy. "You are also here."
The boy just nodded his head with a smile before pointing his finger at Lyca. His expression seed to ask Dylan if he was also there to have dinner with them along with Lyca.
"Do you know each other?" Lyca asked Marceline in puzzlent. She was also surprised when Serena suddenly hugged her best friend.
"I t Mr. Dominique twice. Yes, we already knew each other," Marceline replied while eyeing Lyca aningfully.
Lyca imdiately looked away. She could tell the aning of that gaze. Marceline was asking her if she ca there to have a date with Dylan.
"Celeste, where is your husband? Are you having a romantic dinner here?" Lyca blurted out to divert Marceline's attention away from her and Dylan.
"Kira just parked the car. He will join us in a while. We are here to treat them to dinner."
Lyca pouted her lips and said, "How about ? Won't you treat your best friend as well?"
Marceline raised her eyebrow and retorted, "Why are you asking to treat you right now? Dylan is here to treat you, isn't he?"
Lyca just sealed her lips while glaring at Marceline. Dylan just chuckled watching the two ladies bickering in front of them. On the other hand, Dominique and Serena were surprised knowing Marceline and Lyca were best friends.
The five of them were sohow connected to each other. Were they fated to et? What a great coincidence that they t there? Who would have thought that Dylan also knew Marceline?
"Let's sit down and order our food," Marceline politely said to them.
"We will not disturb you as well. We will go back to our table now. I will see you later. Send my regards to my Bro, Sis." Dylan finally said goodbye to his parents, Marceline and Little Lowell before grabbing Lyca's hand. He guided her back to their table.
When Dylan and Lyca left, Serena and Dominique focused their attention on Marceline and Lowell.
"Who is this boy? He looks cute." Serena was curious as to why Marceline brought a child. As far as she knew Marceline just got married not long ago. There's no way she had a child who was born out of wedlock.
"His na is Lowell. He is my adopted son," Marceline answered. Then she glanced at Little Lowell, introducing Dominique and Serena to him.
The boy was silently assessing Dominique and Serena. He couldn't sll their werewolf scent. The two used a spell that could hide their true scent for them not to attract enemy's attention.
'Niq, I think she might be our daughter,' Serena communicated with Dominique through their minds. She even called his nickna, Niq.
'Do you also feel it? The connection with her?' Dominique asked his wife, a loving smile appeared on his charming face.
'Yes, I can feel it. Let's get to know her more. Let's find out if it's possible that her birthmark disappeared through ti.'
The Werewolf King and Queen were still talking through a mind link when another person joined them. It was Kira. He hadn't seen Dominique and Serena yet as they were facing their backs at him.
"I'm sorry. The parking lot was full so I got delayed." Kira apologized as soon as he took his seat next to Marceline.
Dominique and Serena froze in their spot upon seeing Kira. They couldn't hide the shock in their eyes as they looked at Kira.
anwhile, Kira was also tongue-tied when he recognized the two people sitting in front of them.
'What the hell is this? Why are they both here?' Kira subconsciously clenched his fists while eting Dominique's gaze.
Their surroundings were suddenly engulfed with heavy tensions. It intensified when Marceline started to introduce Kira to Serena and Dominique.
"This is my husband, Kira Alaric. Ki, et Mr. Dominique, the person who protected in the hospital. Beside him is his wife, Serena."
*Crash!*
The glass got broken as Dominique accidentally dropped it when he heard Kira's complete na.
'Ki… Kira Alaric, the Vampire King? He is alive?'
"Waiter! Excuse us. Can you please clean the ss here?" Dylan called the waiter. He concealed his emotion, not letting Dominique and Serena see how shaken he was right now.
"Mr. Dominique, are you okay?" Marceline asked him worriedly. He didn't look good. His expression looked utterly astounded, sa with Serena.
"You are alive…" Dominique mumbled. He didn't hear Marceline's words as he was very distracted right now.
Serena couldn't utter a word. A few days ago, she t a guy who looked like Kira. And now, she t soone again with the sa face and na as Kira.
'Is he really the Vampire King that we know? But why does he look like he is not bothered by our presence? Is the Vampire King resurrected as a human being?' Serena mused to herself, her eyes fixed on Kira.
'No! This couldn't be. If he is the Vampire King and Marceline is our daughter… they can't be together!' Serena thought to herself. Dominique also had the sa thoughts as her.
anwhile, Kira tried to control his emotions. He already knew that Dominique and Serena were already thinking that he's the Vampire King– sa na and sa face!
'Damn! What should I do now? I had never imagined that I would et them in a situation like this. And now, Marceline got involved too.' Kira had the urge to tug his head.
'Damn! This doesn't look good… I didn't intend to et them…'
Marceline frowned when she noticed the strange and odd behaviors of Serena, Dominique, and Kira. The three of them had beco silent. It was very deafening.
She darted her gaze back and forth between Kira and the married couple, assessing them and trying to figure out what they were thinking.
"Is there sothing wrong? Or perhaps… Do you know each other?" Marceline broke the silence as she asked the three of them.
Serena, Dominique, and Kira gazed at Marceline with complicated emotions in their eyes. No one among them wanted to answer that truthfully. How could they tell Marceline that they were mortal enemies while facing each other like this?
Dominique stood up. He had the urge to separate Marceline and Kira. 'How could this happen? Kira Alaric died a thousand years ago. Why is he here? How did he beco Marceline's husband? Did he really beco a human?'
Serena imdiately grabbed and held Dominique's hand tightly.
'Niq, calm down. Don't make a scene in front of Marceline,' Serena wanted to calm him down.
Dominique just sighed deeply before going back to his seat. Only Marceline and Little Lowell had no idea about what was happening between the three right now. But she could tell that sothing was not right.
"Do you know each other?" Marceline repeated her question since no one answered her at first.
Serena, Dominique, and Kira exchanged glances with each other, still thinking about how to respond to her.
