Kira and Serena met each other's gaze. Both of them had a stunned look on their faces. Between them, it was Serena who was more surprised to see Kira. Aside from her surprised expression, disbelief could be seen in her emerald eyes.
"Ki… Kira?" Serena mumbled his name which was almost a whisper. Her eyes went round, still couldn't believe what she was seeing.
She blinked her eyes, staring at Kira with her scrutinizing gaze. Then her forehead creased as she wasn't sure if he was the Kira they knew.
His stunned expression was long gone. It became unreadable. 'He looks like Kira Alaric… the former Vampire King.' Serena's heart started to race when she thought about him. But there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
Kira pretended not to know her. He couldn't blow his cover just because of Selene who was known as Serena. He tried his best to calm himself though deep inside his heart was filled with conflicting emotions. His heart was so heavy right now.
