SIBLINGS

Still in the same room, all the members of the Argent Family turned their full attention to Charles alone. He kept his anger to himself, and managed to make his children and grandchildren feel worried - curious about the cause.

The three grandchildren approached, then stood around the grandfather. "Doesn't your mouth taste sour? You became quiet after coming into contact with that hybrid boy." said Leona.

Leona rotated her eyes when Charles suddenly laughed with amusement at her behavior and words. Not. Not only Charles, but everyone in the room also laughed. She cast her bright gaze at those who had been laughing at her since a while ago. "Can you stop laughing? It's not the time to laugh at me, grandpa." Leona grumbled.

Loui nodded. He confirmed Leona's statement. "That's right. You has to tell us something, grandpa." replied Loui.

"So, what did you get from that hybrid brat? Looks like it really bothered you, Grandpa?" said Luca.

Luca's curiosity seemed much bigger than her two brothers. Charles did not flinch. He was still reluctant to open his voice.

There was a sigh at Loui's side and she unconsciously put one of her hands on her grandfather's shoulder, then watched Charles' eyes silently. 

As a vampire who can read minds, the method used by Loui is quite unique - different from other vampires who have the same abilities. Just by looking into his opponent's eyes, he could get all the information he wanted, just as he was currently doing to Charles.

"So that's the reason?" Loui opened his voice again after being silent for a moment.

Charles gave a small nod in response. He confirmed what Loui had just asked. He left after tapping Loui's shoulder and whispered, "You just tell everything to your parents and siblings, Loui." he said. "My mouth really refuses to name them." he continued. After Charles's depart, all attention was on Loui.

"Quick say. What information did you just get from grandfather, Bro?" demanded Luca.

"Skargard who has turned him into a hybrid. Whether we realize it or not, they are provoking a ruckus with the werewolf clan." said Loui.

"Skarsgard?" Rosalie tried to reconfirm what she had just heard.

Loui nodded without hesitation, confirming any doubts that had arisen in Rosalie's mind.

"Isn't Skarsgard ...?" Malia muttered and subconsciously hung up her sentence; tried to recall everything he knew about Skarsgard.

Realizing everyone's attention, Malia immediately closed her mouth and gave a small smile. "Sorry, looks like I have to finish something in the kitchen." She added. 

She took the initiative to leave the room, and headed for another room. Provides the privacy needed by all members of the Argent Family. After all, she was trying to keep her promise to Loui and Luca - covering her ears as well as avoiding all kinds of things related to the Skarsgards.

"Which Skargard do you mean, Loui?" Finally Stefan spoke up after being silent for a long time. He rested his chin, staring at his eldest son questioningly. "Derick and Irina's blood isn't capable of turning a human or a werewolf into a hybrid. They aren't purebloods." said Stefan.

"I think Damien did it." guessed Luca.

"There's no way he could do it. After all, we all know who is the most cunning of the entire Skarsgard Family." argued Leona confidently.

Instantly Luca threw a smile and a look full of meaning at her older sister. "Oh. Look! You're defending your ex." Luca teased without hesitation. If it's like this, Luca really looks like a younger brother who is trying to tease his brother.

"Hey! I'm not defending him." Leona again refuted her brother's words. She immediately grabbed Luca's hand as she was about to run and avoid. 

She swiftly wrapped one arm around Luca's neck. "After all, we all know. If Lucien is the most cunning of the four golden children of Skarsgard." Leona explained emphatically.

"That's right. The culprit is Damien." continued Loui.

His eyes met Leona's –face for a while. He gave a small nod, reassuring all the doubts that surrounded Leona. Feeling victorious, Luca turned things around. Now it is his hands that are wrapped around Leona's neck.

"I told you. Damien is sneaky. Did you forget that he once controlled you? You even became a rebel, and you managed to make mom cry because of you." Luca explained at length.

Leona just lowered her head. She feels embarrassed when she is reminded of what happened in the past. When she's with Damien, she really turns into a cold and evil girl.

Damien really got the hang of it at that time. Luca poked Leona's cheek, Leona suddenly turned and looked at her borther who was still clinging to her. Luca also reviewed his sweet smile at Leona.

"Thank you for listening to me, Sis." softly Luca.

But suddenly Charles interrupted the romance between Luca and Leona. "Loui! Malia needs your help!" shouted Charles down the stairs. 

In the next split second, Loui's eyes managed to catch Luca's eagle's gaze. Without saying anything, Loui made his way towards the stairs, following his grandfather.

"Looks like you have to help her, Luca. I need to rest," said Loui after he managed to put one of his feet on the first step.

Loui turned around when he didn't get any answer from Luca. He looked at his younger brother slowly and then said, "Aren't you happy to see her chattering in the kitchen?" Loui guessed it.

Luca let out a heavy breath. In the next second he gave a soft nod in response. He agreed to help Malia, because he was happy to look at her. But there is something that is wrong. Didn't Loui also like the same thing? Why did it have to be him who helped that girl cause Charles say his name so clearly. Asked Loui to accompany Malia who was doing something in the kitchen.

"Is it okay if I help her?" asked Luca a little doubtfully.

Loui's right eyebrow rise at his younger brother's question. "There's nothing wrong with trying to be good." he said. "Since when did the word help become the wrong sentence?"

"Okay." Luca replied softly. "I'll help her." he said.

"Good." said Loui. 

In the next split second Loui sped off, following his grandfather to the second floor. He don't know what he will do there. What was clear was that he needed to let Luca take advantage of the opportunities he gave him.

Luca let out a resigned sigh as he rubbed his blonde hair with a harsh brush. Then darted towards the kitchen-help Malia complete a task that he did not know exactly what the girl was doing in there. "Malia certainly didn't expect me." he muttered exasperatedly. 

In another place - far from the tranquility of Moonwood City, a group of vampires were involved in a tough discussion.

"We have to catch up with them before they move any further." suggested the young man who had just moved his chess piece position.

"No need. I can still reach their movements," said the only girl who was there.

"If they get caught. Let me be the first to taste the Hale Girl's blood." said the gray-haired young man.

The young man who was playing his own chess returned to his voice, "Instead of that human girl. I would rather have a monopoly on the Argent Girl, like Damien used to do." he ended his sentence with a small giggle.

"Just do it if you want to end your life immediately!" challenge the gray haired men.

"Nobody can touch Leona but me!" shrieked the man who had just entered the room. There was a chuckle from the end of the room.

The girl who had been dancing her long fingers to the rows of piano keys turned around – staring the man who had just entered the room.

"Don't give any comments, Irina." scolds the man. "We have the same desire."

The girl named Irina shook her head in disbelief and said, "I'm not as ambitious as you, Damien." She replied. 

"Don't act like you want to get it back, if you can't take responsibility for your negligence that day, Damien." explained Irina.
