"Hah! Are you even at home, dad? How could I even talk to you about him? You have been neglecting my existence since the beginning."
She replied to him in the same tone by throwing back those words at him. She was not trying to budge any bit because Coulter was participating in the heated conversation. they both had gotten used to it but Lydia was still not able to hide her unsettled ego.
They both were still not trying to fix the situation, instead both were constantly dragging each other down. But perhaps the disclosure of Kayden's identity as her mate would put Coulter into trouble. After all he was involved into two cases and now his daughter had marked him as mate.
the situation was even more messed up now that he was Lydia's mate. Coulter would be labelled as a traitor for giving refuge to a murderer and betrayer. Because supporting Kayden was equivalent to losing his job for sure.
Only if Coulter knew what his daughter had done, Lydia had no clue that Kayden was involved such a mess. Nor did she know that her dad was handling the case. She went to Kayden's place only to know that he had already left for the bus stand.
It was Mr Jones who set up all that situation, he had some good contacts despite being a class C vampire. His skills of conversation and negotiations helped him find out that which alpha was inside the city area.
It was evident that there could be only one alpha within the residential premises. Because those people were not the ordinary vampires who were allowed to stay within the city. That's why it was easy to find out the identity of the alpha from right sources.
Later on the next step was cleared when Lydia arrived at the place at the same time. The woman was there at the right time and the introductory session given by Lydia helped Jones to craft the whole plan. He deliberately gave her the whereabouts of Kayden.
The woman introduced herself as his girlfriend which Jones knew was just a one sided affection. Or else Kayden would have told him about her. But it did not matter at that time, all he wanted was to make sure that Lydia would mark his son as her mate. That would ensure his safety!
After all, a man of words like Coulter would never kill his daughter's mate. But then again it would it not save him from the punishment of murdering Jack and for keeping contacts with the outsiders. However it would save Kayden and Jones a lot of time to figure out a way to put the blame on someone else for murder and prove Kayden's innocence.
Because to break Lydia's bond with Kayden he would require some time to prove him unworthy and unfit for her. However it seemed impossible considering the affection his daughter had for Kayden. The way Lydia was acting with her dad upon the whole mate thingy was unusual.
the vampiress mostly used to complain about his absence but it was the first time she was angry over Coulter's insensitive behaviour towards the announcement of her mate. It forced him to think that she might be genuinely in love with that person because he had never seen his daughter fighting for someone else.
"How many times have we discussed this, Lydia? I have no idea from where do you even get this much energy each time."
Coulter spoke in a soft voice while looking at her as he leaned in and placed his elbows on the knees. He had no energy to do all of that once again after going through the same conversation before. It was becoming repetitive and annoying for him to bear with her. Not that he did not really care about her but the man was bound with his duty.
"Oh great! Now you are even annoyed while talking to your own flesh and blood, huh!?"
She rolled her eyes in disbelief regarding her father's comments. He did not seem to take the conversation seriously, which irked Lydia even more. She was sure that the news would make him mad and in turn he would do anything to make her split with Kayden.
The vampiress just wanted him to pay attention to her and upon knowing that she has a mate now Coulter would divert his focus to her. But perhaps it was not that easy to make him do that. Coulter leaned in and removed his shoes while Lydia stood a few steps away from him.
"Lydia! Oh dear, how should I explain it to you to make you stop putting yourself through this pain again and again."
Coulter glanced at her while shaking his head and sighing deeply. He had no time for his daughter and especially for all that chat which was pointless. Whereas Lydia was not going to budge, the woman strode towards the sofa and sat opposite to Coulter and placed her one leg over the other.
A meaningful smirk appeared on her face as the woman's eyes glowed crimson red. Coulter was occupied in removing his socks while she continued with the conversation. Lydia took a different strategy this time, it was necessary to make him realize of his biggest mistake of letting her reins loose!
"Of course! I will stop now, after all now that you don't have anything to do with me. I should better focus on my man, even if he is an incapable vampire from class C, well of course it does not matter to me, he will keep me happy unlike you."
Lydia intentionally said those words to make him angry about the kind of incapable and unworthy mate she had chosen for herself. Coulter's hand movement stopped immediately upon hearing those words which made him stunned for a second.
He was unable to move any bit because of the shock felt by the woman's words. His hands were still holding the socks which were halfway done when his eyes glowed brightly.
