Both of the ladies looked at Kayden as he hugged them and lightened up the atmosphere. The tension between both ladies was still not settled fully but it had lowered down a bit. Kayden became curious about the other two guys who hadn't come to inquire about him yet.
"Now tell me, where is dad and Malcolm?"
He shifted his gaze towards Medusa assuming that she might know about them better than Lydia. After all, the former one was the guest there and probably had no clue where they both had been. Talking about Malcolm, Kayden already sensed his aura and was sure that he 'came back.'
"Oh, they headed inside the kitchen. I think Mr Jones left to fetch some stuff, he seemed worried about you. You were unconscious and weren't waking up."
Medusa narrated him the situation which Kayden was unaware with. Although her words made Lydia jump on that particular question once again. She pouted a bit and complained how Kayden diverted the talk earlier.
"Hey, hey I asked you the same thing earlier. Don't trick me this time, tell me what happened to you on the way back home?"
The vampiress was sure that something suspicious must have occurred because nothing normal could make a vampire faint. And the way Medusa was constantly mentioning the incident, it simply made Lydia curious regarding the nature of it.
Medusa was already becoming irritated by her constant nagging, and the act of being all nice made her fume with rage. She did not know how to push her away from Kayden, but perhaps Lydia was having similar thoughts too. The succubus headed towards the kitchen to get Mr Jones.
Even though she was reluctant but was also aware that she could not expect Lydia to go inside. Since she did not know the house and was practically a guest there. On the other hand Kayden was left alone with Lydia and caressed his knuckles on her cheek.
He immediately recalled how she served him back there in the alley, but was also aware that it was not the time to get hot that fast. Instead his touch made the woman tilt her head a bit with a shyness on her cheeks.
Kayden had learned by now how his touch worked on women, and was also aware of the creation of mate bonds. Thus was cautious about the limitations with other women. Since both Medusa and Lydia were his mates, marked by him, it was obvious that he could carelessly get intimate with them.
He learned a lot of things in the past two days, and acknowledged the worth of his life. For the first time in his life he realized the worth of his blood group, the same thing which caused him a lot of confusion. Kayden might have never imagined that the same blood group which left him an incapable was now valuable.
It made him realize how weak he was and had been since the beginning. It was Medusa who saved him at first, at times he was just lucky that the outbursts helped him. But upon pondering closely it dawned upon Kayden that he had never helped himself.
There were other factors involved all along which proved to be in his favour!
When he woke up and saw Lydia shivering while sitting on the floor helplessly. It made him realize that if he continued being on a jerk and a coward to accept his fate, then everyone who is dear to him will eventually lose their lives.
No doubt that Lydia was just a ladder for him but deep down he felt sympathy for her. Just like he felt a similar emotion towards Medusa on the day he saw her at the lake. He could not help but to feel bad for her upon knowing she left her home to look for him.
It also helped him understand how dependent he had been on others and wondered upon his luck that he had people who could and would save him no matter what. Kayden had behaved like a jerk and a coward mess till now, but upon seeing Lydia quivering right in front of his eyes changed him.
The very sight changed his perspective that despite being powerful Lydia gave up on protecting herself. If it was not for him then Medusa's serpent would have poisoned and killed her. The certain thought lingered in his head that how will he survive if Malcolm or Medusa are not around!?
Also the incident occurred with that elven man gave him a bigger picture that there were a lot enemies out there. Even though Kayden had no clue why would elven race will send their person to spy on him. But it assured him that something big was waiting for him out of the vampire realm.
Or perhaps something unexpected and big was coming for him!
Nonetheless, Kayden took it as a challenge and was now determined that he will get stronger no matter what. Because if he had to claim the fucking throne of Beelzebelle and defeat Evilrite, then he had to get stronger in every aspect.
Now there was no time to slack and to keep on defying his destiny. Kayden Jones had decided that he would take back his mother's kingdom which was rightfully his throne!
But perhaps nobody was ready for man-Kayden, although all of them sensed the visible seriousness in his behaviour. Medusa felt the intimidating aura coming from him, which she did not dislike but it did made her admire him even more. The succubus had always wanted to see him all mature and calm personality.
Therefore, the sudden change just stunned her because since the beginning Kayden had been under her command and was dependent on her. It was the first time he was the one commanding her, even though it was a threat and warning.
On the other hand Lydia was perhaps also not ready to suddenly face his serious attitude and imposing nature. Kayden looked straight into her eyes when he smiled and answered her curiosity.
"You sure are a curious little cat, huh. Dissatisfied and un- satiated."
He chuckled softly and leaned in to lift her face by chin, Lydia's crimson eyes shyly looked into his. Kayden was well versed in how to make ladies swoon over him while giving nothing in return. After all, that is what he had been doin up till now with Medusa.
"It was a small encounter with some bad people. Don't worry, I am all well now. Unscathed."
He patted her head to put her at ease about everything.
