'No, no, I'm not weak. I can definitely help myself and with the opportunities given by Lydia's father I can beco stronger.'
Kayden could not help but to deny the obvious truth which was in front of him. His inner self still denied, as his mind ran through all the possibilities of the upcoming future.
It was certain that Coulter was not going to let him get stronger after the recent encounter. And the demonic existence within him provoked another issue. Coulter perhaps knew sothing about the matter and for that he stord out to confront Jones, Kayden's father.
Kayden had never realized that the flora around him decayed imdiately as he passed through the academy. It was the mont when he went to the academy to collect his degree certificate. Kayden had no knowledge about the changes he had created into others due to his demonic aura.
'I hope this demon is not lying. I have had enough of liars now, first dad then others hid the truth from too. I'm not weak, I just don't want to go with dusa and Malcolm yet. I'm not a hero for soone, why can't they understand that?'
His inability to accept the truth at first had already made the whole situation worse. Malcolm just wanted to help his kind and if it required to serve Kayden, he was willing to do it gladly despite having Kayden. However everything had been depending on Kayden's big decision since the beginning.
Kayden did not stop conversing with the demon in his head, during the bickering of two won his vision went blurry due to diverted focus. The crimson eyes began to glow and his body started radiating the black aura. The black aura appeared as tentacles from Kayden' back which soon faded when he cald down.
On the other side of the picture Kayden always knew that the potential trigger of all the fights between dusa and Malcolm was him. The succubus did not want to admit that Kayden' touch had initiated a few strange battle within her.
Kayden overheard both of them occasionally and accidentally because of the bond between them. And he could not deny the guilty feeling which increased when he ca to know about the conversation between Jones and Malcolm.
It was the mont, before his arrival to Coulter's villa that he was the one who nearly killed Malcolm. Again a big truth was hidden from him and nobody corrected him or tried to teach him anything. Things kept on going worse day by day with Malcolm and dusa's quarrels.
"Why did you say such horrible things to him? It was not needed."
The succubus suppressed the aching in her chest and rebuked Malcolm, while the guy was totally nonchalant. He rolled his eyes over the remark and then burst out with spreading his arms.
"It was not necessary? Fuck yeah it was, he needs to understand the responsibility. A freaking whole realm is waiting for him, and here he is bullshitting us!"
dusa could not deny again, yet his straightforwardness was making her annoyed. Since Malcolm was not understanding Kayden's point of view and emotions, he was going through a traumatic change when the truth dawned upon him.
"I know right, but you have to understand his position too. We popped up here claiming that he is our saviour, and guess what we beca the trigger to change his life. Do you really expect him to just swallow everything in re few days?"
Malcolm was unsure how to respond to that, since he was perhaps thinking ahead and looking things through his own vision. He raked through his hair and complied to whatever dusa had been saying.
"Fine! Maybe I overreacted and had been expecting a lot from him without considering his own emotions. But I am not going to apologize to him, he tried to kill okayy!"
The servant incubus was determined in his own stance, whereas dusa had completely lost hope to hear those words from Kayden.
She walked towards Malcolm and patted on his head with a slight ruffle through his hair. dusa was also aware that Kayden unconsciously tried to kill Malcolm but she could do nothing. Since all of them were bound to him now either way.
He was elated and relieved by the gesture, that Malcolm' tail which was wrapped around his waist began to throb. The thin tails having a sharp arrow shaped ending were the utter indication of the emotional changings for their kind.
"Now let's go find him, we can't afford to lose him. Also you have to hear an apology from him too."
They both set off to Kayden's place without bothering that every possible kind of danger lurked for them in that realm. It was their duty to serve and to protect him, but the three of them appeared to be of sa age which triggered the quarrels between the trio.
-*-*-*-*-
On the other hand Coulter and his team reached Kayden's house and was greeted by Mr Jones. The old vampire could possibly imagine why the squad A personally ca to pay him a visit.
However the arrival of the main investigation squad itself was a bad on, since the encounter was considered to be crucial. People began to chatter and gather outside the house like gossiping bees.
Mr Jones was willing to face everything for the safety of his son, although he prayed that Kayden would not be safe with Lydia. He left the phone at ho which was traced and brought the squad A there, assuming he would be at their radar.
"You knew about this. Right Jones?"
The alpha and his mbers spread all across the house, with their guns aid at Mr Jones. The old man did not move or showed any kind of panic, he knew the circumstances.
And considering that he was a re elderly vampire belonging to class C, nobody would take his case if he died unrighteous death. He still managed to speak aiming to pace up the investigation, so Coulter would leave sooner before he could question more about Kayden's identity.
"I am nit sure what you are ranking about. With due respect may I ask, what your coos are searching in my place?"
Coulter signaled his alpha who started his searching raid, while he had the brief chat with Mr Jones. The head was determined to find anything about Kayden, although he could not find any unusual aura in the house.
Malcolm had successfully masked their aura and since Kayden's powers were still in the process of awakening, the could not be sensed by the vampires. Nonetheless Coulter was not satisfied with the search and what was in front of him.
"We are investigating the murder of Jack, and we suspect your son was the last person who t him before he died."
He shoved the recording of the CCTV which was outside the building, which Mr Jones could not deny but it also left a greater room for the further excuses.
They stood in the lounge with a few n spread in a circle around them. But that was not the main purpose why Coulter went there. He could sense Kayden's identity and knew Jones too. Both of the old n had an old unsettled scuffle, caused by Kayden's mother.
Coulter knew what possibly could have happened but he wanted to trap Jones legally at first to make him open his mouth.
"But sir, it doesn't really justifies that my son has sothing to do with his murder. He is just a kid and I can assure you Kayden can't commit such horrible deed."
Mr Jones tried to negotiate but the attempt was futile, the alpha ca holding Kayden' phone. The conclusion was derived that he possibly left everything behind through which he could be tracked as old vampire of class C.
"I believe you should leave the decision to us and the higher ups. Now I will ask one more ti. What is your son? Who is he?"
Coulter was not budging and Mr Jones was fully aware that the squad A was the utmost brutal one.
He walked towards the sofa and settled himself, there was no use of wasting the ti by generating more excuses.
'I hope this incident will make you stronger Kayden. You have to have thicker skin and a strong will. My son, I love you as much as your mother did when she was alive.'
The old vampire smiled and calmly waited for the further action, Coulter knew what the certain nonchalant behaviour ant. Mr Jones wanted his son to listen to his heart and be prepared for practical life.
"I told you, I don't know. And eve if I knew I would never tell you, you mofo! My wife died because of you. Hehe...you will suffer from sa pain when Lydia will die!"
Coulter frowned knowing he did not have ti to deal with a rebellious one, hence he pulled out his gun and shoot straight to aim for Jones' head.
