Where Medusa and Kayden had already witnessed the power play and encountered an elven man, things were going normal either on an side of the world. Everyone was having their own share of trouble and things to tackle. Everything was going round and round in a twisted way which did not seem to appear an unplanned sequence.
When Coulter finally suspected Kayden all the proofs which could go against him did not seem to make sense suddenly. And when he thought that perhaps he could grasp Kayden making him surrender for interrogation, his own daughter marked him as her mate.
Although they never really had a good relationship at all, but for some reason Coulter knew that something big was behind Lydia's reckless decision. After all why else would she pick someone from class C as her mate. Do you think that she was still under his charm spell that the vampiress was unable to see that she was being used.
However Coulter perhaps was able to see through it, and figured out either his daughter had gone rogue or something sure was wrong with her. But he could not simply confront her like that acknowledging that she could possibly do some other reckless thing.
Thus he chose mild words to inquire about her plan since things did not make any sense to him. But on the other hand perhaps that kinda interrogation was exactly what Lydia was waiting for. Coulter sat in the sofa and leaned against the back as he placed his one leg over the other.
"What do you want now? I'm sure you have not marked someone from Class C just to trouble me, right? Tell me what is the reason heard this reckless decision of yours?"
He knew his daughter very well and it was simply not the reason why would go to such an extent. There was definitely something behind her actions. But what troubled Coulter more was the slight change in her aura, she was not the careless, feisty and grumpy girl he saw the last time.
Lydia smiled at him meaningfully as the woman licked her lower lip in a victorious gesture. She was sure that the perfect moment had arrived to make Coulter do what she wanted. After all whatever she had done was now proven to be in her favour, Lydia could definitely seize the chance to make him accept Kayden.
"Hehe, as expected from my father. I'm glad you figured it out sooner. Now that you are willing to listen, let me get straight to the point."
The woman smiled at him with an evil gaze whereas Coulter expected no less from his daughter. At least he was sure that she took after him in being sneaky and sly. And low key it made him relived and happy that one day if something happens to him she could take care of herself.
Coulter scoffed meaningfully with an expected grin, he was right that Lydia sure had something else planned behind this mate thing. He did not move or objected to her words, instead his silence encouraged Lydia to resume. There was a somewhat satisfactory expression on his face assuming that whatever Lydia would require will possibly be for her own self.
The vampiress copied his posture of sitting and pretended to be conscious about her nails while completely neglecting the manners. As she stared at them while resuming the speech, Coulter calmly heard her only because he could not afford to act rashly.
"I want you to accept him as my mate and let him live with me."
Lydia spoke without bothering to care about the consequences of the statement. She was demanding more than what a class C vampire deserved. Her command enraged Coulter and he curled his fingers into a fist. His eyes began to glow crimson ventilating his anger and significant objection towards her demand.
"Are you even in your senses, Lydia? Do you even know what you are asking? This is utter nonsense."
Coulter burst out in rage with his glare but only gritted his teeth while questioning Lydia's ridiculous demand. No doubt what she was demanding was an impossible thing.
There had been numerous such love affairs between higher and lower class vampires. But none of them actually turned into an official relationship due to the strong foothold of the status quo. And most of those vampires who could possibly be labelled as cowards preferred to keep extra marital affairs.
"Yes, I know what I am demanding and I want you to make it happen."
Lydia did not care for whatever her father was thinking about the matter. If she had decided something then nobody could change her mind. The woman was determined to get Kayden to stay with her.
"Ridiculous!"
Coulter's patience ran out upon hearing those words from her. How could she be so confident about it and even thought that Coulter would help her in that. He banged his wrist over the armrest of the sofa when Lydia looked at him with the corner of her eyes.
"I would never do such a thing which can risk your life! You have no idea what you are demanding. But I can't afford to push you off the cliff myself when I know there's no end of the suffering down there!"
Coulter's voice became shallow which made Lydia think for a moment. But she immediately shook her head knowing that her father could never be trusted. If he truly cared for her then he would not have been absent for all those important years of her life!
The woman scoffed while looking straight at him into Coulter's eyes, trying to determine the truthfulness of his words. She had been suffering alone all along but now that Kayden was in her life like a ray of light. Lydia did not want to lose him at any cost, and to protect Kayden from all those suffering of being a low class vampire she needed him by her side.
