Chapter 138 Handling Both Mates
"I am just...I got swayed by emotions. You really made me worried."
Medusa gently smacked his shoulder and pouted with a fake anger, she was genuinely concerned about his safety. And it made her guilty that he got into trouble because of her irresponsibility. She blamed herself for not checking the surroundings and other factors which could possibly harm him.
There were tears in her eyes which softened his heart when she took all the blame for the incident on herself. Whereas Lydia did no like how Medusa successfully snagged his attention without even putting efforts. It also made her jealous that she had some other big news to tell Kayden.
But the succubus slyly consumed his attention which pushed Lydia behind. Both of the women had initiated a cold war between themselves. The competition was self made and it created a lot of unsaid mess between the two of them. What if Kayden happen to mark more ladies and take more mates in!?
"I'm sorry....I did not mean something like that to happen. I really am sorry, Kayden...it's.....it's my fault. I should have been careful but...it all happened because I let my attention waver."
Medusa lowered her head and confessed that everything probably happened because she failed to protect him. The succubus felt guilty which was visible in her shallow tone as she spoke. She was still in his embrace with Kayden's arm around her waist.
Whereas Lydia was also in his other arm and was seeing the sly succubus, who had successfully snagged his attention by her crocodile tears. Kayden looked straight into Medusa's eyes and patted on her back. His soft expressions and the special treatment towards her infuriated Lydia.
"It's okay. Something like that can happen with anyone. Don't let it bother you now anymore, love." 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
Kayden assured her that she could forget that incident, although he was also not having a fuller picture of it either. Everything in his mind was vague too, like a blurry picture. But Kayden could clearly remember that the man was an elf and it disturbed him even more.
He was barely able to recover from the previous blow that he was the heir of some realm which he had never visited yet. And now something else also dawned upon him, Kayden could not help but question everything and everyone now. He also needed some more answers from his father and Malcolm.
During the past weeks he was sure that those two guys were the only ones who could potentially answer his queries. Since Medusa was not in her right mind because of Lydia's arrival, the succubus was emotionally a mess at that time. Thus it was wise to avoid listening to her, there was a high possibility that Medusa will make Kayden leave Lydia either way.
He did not want to do that considering that the vampiress was the ladder to bright opportunities ahead. It was simply not wise to pay heed to her words assuming that Medusa will eventually force him by making some false theory. Whereas it was not the right moment for him to leave Lydia when she was his personal golden hen.
"So, you aren't angry, right?"
Medusa faked a pout with an innocent expressions. The succubus wanted to make sure that he was not blaming her for what happened. Since Jones was still angry with Medusa, thus she needed Kayden to take her side at least.
There was utter glint of anxiety and underlying fear of his anger, the succubus looked straight up into his eyes. Whereas this time Lydia rolled her eyes seeing her acting, which made her puke and envy how sly Medusa could be!
"Haha, no. Why would I be angry over an accident which can happen to anyone?"
Medusa did not understand why Kayden said that it could happen to anyone. Although she did not bother to correct him either as it saved her from all the possible consequences. Whereas Lydia was silent because she had no clue what just happened.
She simply stayed quiet not knowing how to react to that conversation. But since it raised her curiosity thus she took the liberty to ask herself. How could she stay behind when Medusa was taking all the possible chances to get his attention.
"What do you mean? What happened to you?" f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
Lydia held his face and shifted Kayden's attention to herself. There was utter concern on her face, which made him realize that she was unaware of the incident. He pulled her closer to him and smiled at Lydia while the woman looked into his eyes with a frightful expression.
"Don't you think you get frightful easily, love?"
Kayden's pull made her realize that she was getting scared frequently and easily. It also reminded her how she was sitting down on the floor when Medusa dominated her with power. The particular words scared Medusa too, as she was sure that Kayden bought the lie of testing Lydia's powers.
"Be brave, uh. Or else people will always be testing your limits."
He clearly hinted Medusa that he was aware of her lies and it threatened her to stay away from Lydia. Kayden could not afford to lose Lydia, not because he was in love with her or something like that. But because she was his key to a bright future.
The vampiress smiled at him and nodded to pay heed to his words. Whereas Medusa was stunned to see how he slyly handled both of them with his words. She could not help but admire his skills with words. They both did not know that Kayden used their jealousy and insecurity to soothe them both.
Who would have known that Kayden was the same guy who was laughingstock for everyone and had no social status, was now having two gorgeous mates and was wanted by the special squad! Not that the fame was any good but it did made Kayden appear someone worthy of attention.
