●●●
Kayden was sure that Coulter was examining him and could sense his aura. It was absolutely different from what the vampires had and proved Coulter's hunch true. He was able to grasp that something was wrong with Kayden and he needed to find that out.
Coulter could not afford to mess up his newly fixed relationship with Lydia. Although it was certain that he wanted her to see how incapable and useless her mate was. After all, his worry was increasing after seeing Kayden. He could not even protect himself, how could he take Lydia's responsibility.
Kayden did not want to initiate the chat but upon seeing his stubborn Coulter was, Kayden broke the ice between them. After all he needed to get Coulter comfortably with him and for that a healthy conversation was necessary.
He flung his arm out to have a handshake with Coulter while Lydia's head was still on his shoulder. The vampiress looked straight towards her father to make sure that he would eventually reply. Kayden on the other hand had a challenging smile over his face as if low key he was mocking Coulter.
Although it was absolutely a wrong move from Kayden, but at that moment he was sure about Coulter's helplessness.
"Hello sir, it's nice to meet you."
Kayden spoke in a polite tone but the underlying mock and victorious tinge was not hidden from Coulter. The chief knew something like that would eventually happen. When the scraps eating dog is given meat it will always bite you back to have more. He was sure that Kayden was no less than those drugs of slums who knew nothing but backstabbing.
Although now he could not let his daughter see that and was aware that most probably Lydia can't even figure it out herself. It was obvious she was blind in his love and would never think of the situation that way. But he had to teach Kayden a lesson and knee it would eventually involve a bit of hurting him.
"Coulter, Lydia's father."
He flung his arm out to handshake with Kayden, while looking into his crimson eyes which glinted with some hint of malice. Coulter knew that he was planning something big after coming there. There must be some big reason that he sacrificed his ego and self respect.
Coulter squeezed his hand during the handshake which made Kayden wince a little. He did not want his emotions to surface on the face, thus kept a straight expression with a smile forced on his lips. the reaction satisfied Coulter who was now aware that Kayden was not as sharp or strong as he appeared to be.
"I'm glad you are finally here. Make yourself at home."
Kayden could clearly see the taunt behind his words which were direct at his audacity to shamelessly agree to accompany Lydia. Coulter wanted to ridicule him mildly because he needed to keep Kayden under his supervision to dig out more information on him.
The boy keenly observed the man trying to figure out the tactics to successfully injure an adult. Vampires were no different than humans, they bled red, ate, drank, felt pain. The vampires belonging to each class could be killed like humans, despite the fact that they were capable of using spells and magic.
Just at that moment Coulter muttered some alien language and Kayden waited patiently to see his trick. But deafening silence hovering in the lounge made Lydia concerned, she panicked and looked around for something to happen. the vampiress knew her father but at that moment she was not in the position to stop him at all.
Kayden on the other hand focused on his senses, because he did not want to be killed under the influence of courtesy. He had to protect himself even if it meant to attack Coulter or to injure him severely. However he expected Lydia to say anything but the woman was perhaps not going to aid him at that point.
'Did his spell go wrong? Or am I unable to see through his trick? These special squad folks are sneaky, I'm sure I'm missing something here.'
Kayden turned around while thinking about it and tried to spot any unnatural activity. But everything was calm and it raised his curiosity regarding what just happened. Lydia on the other hand looked towards her father in rage, she did not want Kayden to get hurt at all.
Kayden could not understand what was happening when the huge window of the lounge crashed, which supposedly opened outside towards some backyard. The glass shattered and a water whirlpool directed inside with a immense pressure. Both Kayden and Lydia looked towards the noise and became astonished.
"Holy shi-"
Kayden could not even react because he had never seen any such thing in his life. His reflexes failed to make him dodge the huge water ball. it floated towards Kayden and had him caged within the ball of water, which began to suffocate Kayden.
"Dad! What are you doing? Stop it!"
Lydia shouted to her father about the matter, how could she let Coulter hurt her mate. Coulter on the other hand was certain in his premise to test Kayden's potential and abilities. Kayden heard all their quarrel regarding him and the panicking of Lydia was also visible.
His vision got blurred and then turned black, Kayden became unconscious within the bubble. A satisfactory grin appeared on Coulter' face which did not last for long. Kayden gained consciousness and glared back at Coulter with his pitch black eyes. His eyes turned into that unnatural shade and canines grew into sharp fangs.
His ancient blood had awakened and the darkness occupied his senses. It was similar scene when he killed Jack and nearly turned Malcolm into shreds. Jones, Kayden's father was unaware what could be the reason of that outburst. But perhaps now everything was making sense.
Coulter stood there partially satisfied because he had shown Kayden's incapability to Lydia. And even if he committed his murder, he could get away without being punished. The vampire world was no different, not even in corrupted morals and deadly conspiracies.
