Lydia was shocked to hear her words, she had never thought her to be jealous to this extent. Medusa was assuming things all by herself which made her realize that she was not the only one facing those feelings. Lydia tried to control herself as she was sure that Medusa was not in a position to hear her at all.
The succubus was blinded by rage and betrayal, just as Lydia was since she was also the victim of Kayden's betrayal. Thus she did not mind him being nosy and enraged because now they both were able to understand each other's situation. Lydia took the liberty to tell her the actual thing.
"Look Medusa, I'm not trying to steal him from you. Is that clear? I was also hurt when I find out about you and Malcolm. We both are in the same boat."
Lydia explained her the truth and shared her feelings, the woman looked towards Kayden whose expressions suddenly turned serious. He did not expect Lydia to say things like that but he was also sure that she will not make him appear bad. After all, no matter what both of them were his mates.
And due to the mate bond none of them was allowed to harm each other. Although up till now nobody had ever experimented on what could possibly happen if two mates quarrel and somehow one happens to end other's life.
Nonetheless, her words convinced Medusa as she looked straight towards Kayden who did not speak anything at first. Instead he took a few minutes to craft accurate words to shamelessly reply to the ladies about what happened. His poker face expression made it evident that he was not feeling remorse or anything about what happened.
"It doesn't mean I hid this because I wanted to. But I had to do this for our friendship's sake. Don't blame me here. Don't you think if I had told you two about each other, you would wring each other's neck? Hm?"
He looked at them both with his gaze shifting in between, trying to figure out that they both were listening to him or not. Lydia did not speak anything whereas Medusa was not willing to back down. She asked him once again, now Medusa was concerned about both of them.
"See, you two can't even deny my words. And still are fighting over me, yet you both expected me to tell you about each other? Now you both tell me, was I a fool or genius?"
Kayden pouted while faking an angry expression, which made both of the ladies a bit panicked. No matter what they were still his mates and needed to communicate with each other so he would not get angry or fed up with them.
Lydia heaved a sigh acknowledging that whatever Kayden said was true. They were still fighting over him despite knowing that he was trying hard to give both of them equal attention. Medusa on the other hand became quiet for a moment before she apologized to Lydia.
"I'm sorry, I should have heard you before assuming things. It's just I can't bring myself to forgive him for betrayal and hiding things. But it's not like I'm up for sharing Kayden."
Medusa spoke in a shallow tone but the words which came out of her mouth stunned Lydia. Both of the ladies had probably settled their situation since it was the wise thing to do. Lydia smiled a bit and placed her right hand over hers and squeezed it gently.
There was an utter respect and admiration in her eyes regarding the succubus. As she began to speak Medusa heard her clearly and was not expecting such polite words either. Whereas Kayden was astonished to see both of his women sorting out things so fast.
"I understand you, Medusa. It's not your fault, actually none of us is really guilty. The circumstances demanded hiding and lying. Kayden is right, we both are unwilling to accept each other right. But we can try to share him, at least can give it a shot, right?"
There was a smile over her face which was reciprocated by Medusa too. Since there was nothing they all could do so the wise option was to adjust and compromise. Lydia flung her arm out to shake hand with each other and waited for medusa to proceed with it.
"You are right, Lydia. Since we both re connected to him as mates now, and its impossible to break this bond. It's wise to try to accept this bond,"
Medusa agreed to her proposal and the friendly idea, but she had to make sure that Lydia would not cancel her or Malcolm from Kayden's life. They both were his blood servants and one of them was now his mate too. It was obvious that they all had to stick together.
And since Lydia did not say anything about them it worried her even more that perhaps she was not in the vampiress' plan at all. Medusa paused for a moment and looked at Kayden, it was obvious that he was not going to say anything in that matter even now.
"But I have one condition, Lydia."
The succubus truthfully came to the point, if they both were going to compromise then Lydia had to be the one more tolerant. Since Medusa was marked beforehand her it gave her a bit of margin to force Lydia to accept her requests. She smiled at her expecting that Lydia will eventually comply to her request or else it will cause havoc.
"Oh?"
Lydia widened her eyes making an O-shaped face because she could not understand what Medusa wanted to have from her as favour. Whereas Kayden was unaware of the matter either, but he trusted Medusa at least. He acknowledged that she would do everything what would be in their favour.
"If you want Kayden to live with you, then you have to take me and Malcolm in too. Since we all are connected to him either way, it's wise for us to stay close to be each other's strength."
