Chapter 137 Kayden’s Two Mates
Medusa got infuriated upon her reply and directed her serpent to hiss and reach Lydia's neck. The succubus was now driven by rage and had no intentions of holding back from poisoning her. There was utter annoyance on her face, as the woman did not even bother to take Lydia's shivering in consideration.
"You still dare to defy me!"
Just as the serpent reached Lydia' neck and was about to bit her, a hand grabbed the serpent which caught Medusa' attention. The succubus had no idea who it could be because Malcolm would never interrupt her decisions even if they were wrong.
Although there was a possibility that the person could be Jones, but the old man was already upset with her irresponsible actions. So there was higher chances that he was disappointed in her actions.
"Who...!?"
Medusa spoke in half shock and curiosity, after all she also wanted to see who had the temerity to stop her. Hearing her voice Lydia opened her eyes too when she did not feel any biting sensation after expecting it to occur.
The succubus turned her head only to see Kayden standing behind them. His hand was holding her hair tightly that it nearly choked her serpent. But Medusa did not feel anything at that moment because the emotion of happiness clouded the pain.
"Kayden!? Oh my goodness!"
She immediately retreated and her hair returned back to normal, there was an utter joy on her face upon seeing that Kayden was alright. Whereas he did not seem happy to see both of them in that state. He had never expected them to get along well but the threatening pose was also not what ever wished for them.
"You are alright! I thought I lost you."
Lydia' eyes immediately swelled with tears as the woman hugged him without caring for Medusa. She was confident that now Kayden was awake, so she did not have anything to worry about.
Kayden was standing there clueless regarding Lydia's arrival there, but he could grasp that both of them did not get along well. It did not change his mind regarding leaving any of them, instead he felt the dire need to teach them a lesson. How dare they fight like kids when he was sleeping!? And with whose permission!?
Medusa on the other hand did not like her audacity to react ahead of her. Also the succubus became anxious that now Lydia will pretend to be the innocent one here. And might play victim card to snag Kayden's attention and lift her status in his eyes.
The succubus groaned and rolled her eyes about the fucked up situation. Whereas Kayden did not seem to be happy with their cold war, he sighed and inhaled sharply. Medusa glared at Lydia who was now smiling at Kayden while standing right in front of him.
Medusa on the other hand was a few steps away and thought to proceed wisely. After all, there was another woman in competition with her, that too a gorgeous vampiress. It bothered Medusa even more because Lydia was from Kayden's own kind, and she belonged to class A which was a bonus point for her.
Everything combined and made Medusa insecure about her social status and her worth in Kayden's eyes. Just like Lydia was also feeling uncomfortable that Medusa was his first mate, assuming that perhaps Kayden regarded the succubus more important than her.
"Yes, I am alright. But what are you two ladies doing, huh?"
Kayden finally spoke to them as he shifted his gaze from Lydia towards Medusa. His cold stare sent a shiver down the spines of both women, they expected him to get angry but did not really imagine that kind of reaction. Lydia stood there silent and looked at Medusa, as if she had been hinting her to save them both.
"Oh, nothing much. We were just testing out her abilities."
Medusa calmed herself and grasped her senses, she needed to save them both and complied to help Lydia because the whole damned scene was in Lydia's favour. Thus, the succubus had to give in and put her ego aside because it was wise to proceed with pretense at that moment.
"Testing her abilities?"
Kayden raised his one eyebrow and looked at Lydia as if he was confirming the authenticity of Medusa' statement. The vampiress nodded in agreement to vouch for her words. Both of them could see the sudden change in him which was totally unexpected.
His gaze was suddenly intimidating which made both of the ladies anxious about the situation and they resorted to lie. Although it made them both to come together on some point at least. But perhaps Kayden was not satisfied with her replies and it made him even more suspicious how they both got along well.
"Are you sure about this, Medusa?"
He inquired from the succubus who nodded immediately while keeping her normal expressions. Kayden shifted his gaze towards Lydia who gulped all her fears and tried to appear calm outwardly. He was eager to expose them both but perhaps not there and not at that moment.
Kayden could already sense that there were some other individuals too in the house. And it did not take him long to guess that hey were Malcolm and his dad, Mr Jones. He inhaled deeply and then shifted his gaze towards Lydia to ask her.
"Why are you sweating, Lydia?"
He narrowed his eyes and opened his both arms as his expressions softened. He looked at Medusa and gestured to her to come closer. The succubus was relieved that he was not angry with both them and it also made her curious that what exactly had happened to him in the sleep.
Both of them immediately hugged him as he patted their heads. Even though he wanted to punish them both for causing unnecessary noise when he was soundly sleeping. It also disappointed him that they both did not wait for him and preferred to settle the matter themselves. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
"I am alright, lovelies. Why are you two crying like kids, haha?"
He chuckled softly making both of them steal a glance with each other. It appeared as if both of the ladies tried to tell each other that everything was fine and they did not need to worry about his rage. Although Kayden was determined to teach them both a lesson for neglecting the obvious behaviour.
He, himself had also recently learned that his life was precious. And there were a lot of other species out there approaching him for something valuable only he possessed. Kayden had recently known his worth and it made him concerned about his safety too.
He had to get stronger and stable, because now Kayden could not afford incidents like Jack and the elven man to occur once again!
