Chapter 1181: Kayden (9)

Kayden felt something odd when he heard the doorbell ringing, how could it not? He didn't actually live in this house and he just rented this house only for last few days, nor did he have any friends to come visit him, so it was impossible for Kayden to have a guest.

And Kayden's suspicions proved correct. From behind the curtain, he could see two uniformed policemen standing in the doorway.

Of course this was a strange and unreasonable thing. Why did the two police officers come to his house after last night's incident?

Yet, it was make sense since there was the fact that he just knew a few days ago, which was Tiana's ex- lover, Oliver, was the son of a policeman who has a high rank in this city.

Hence it was right to assume that Oliver could freely use his parents' power for his own interests.

This whole thing was really messed up…

After seeing that the two cops were checking the car parked in his yard, Kayden didn't have to wait long or confirm his suspicions, because the only things on his mind were; to save Tiana from here.

Therefore, without waiting any longer, Kayden immediately ran back into the house to tell Tiana about this, that they had to leave now.

"We have to go right now." Kayden pulled Tiana's hand, so she immediately stood up.

"What is it?" Tiana looked confused, but the fact that she was no longer afraid of being around Kayden made him feel better.

"Police," Kayden replied curtly and with that one word, Tiana could immediately understand the situation they were in.

"What should I do?" Tiana asked, she looked towards the front door and the sound of the bell ringing scared her.

"Listen," Kayden said, he placed his hands on both side Tiana's face so the girl could only focus on him. "I want you to do what I say," Kayden said quietly.

Tiana then looked at him, her eyes glazed over, but she tried to focus on what Kayden was about to tell her.

"Go to the bedroom and put some clothes in the duffel bag in the closet, then go to the park and wait for me there." The park Kayden was referring to was only a block away, so Tiana should be able to reach it in just five minutes of running.

Tiana nodded her head, but then she remembered something. "Then what about you? What will happen to you?" she asked.

Kayden chuckled when he realized that Tiana was worried about him.

"Don't worry about me, I will be fine," Kayden said lightly. It's not a big deal for him to deal with humans.

"Are you going to kill them?" Tiana asked suspiciously, her eyes wide with shock at the words she had spoken herself. "Don't kill them."

Kayden took a deep breath. His mate was adorable, but he needed to do something else right now.

"I will not kill them. No lives will be lost here," said Kayden in a reassuring voice. "Listen. Wait for me at the park and don't go anywhere, okay?"

Tiana looked at Kayden for a moment and nodded before the man finally let go and Tiana ran into the room to follow what Kayden just said.

================= 

"The car is in the name of Tony Gestova," said one of the policemen, they came with a warrant and searched the house.

Meanwhile, Tiana had left the house without the two policemen noticing.

"That's my father's name," Kayden replied. He scowled because it turned out that what he had brought was his father's car, because so far they had never questioned the name under the car they bought was.

Torak could no longer use his name because of a case many years ago. Torak Donovan's name as a shifter and non- human being became a byword in society and was reported everywhere when the veil that separated the world of humans and the astral beings disappeared.

All of his companies were forcibly shut down and he couldn't use that name anymore, during that time, Torak spent most of his time in the pack.

But, actually all that was not a problem because shifters have a very long life while humans didn't, and they have limited memory and information about it.

Therefore, it only took a few years, until things calmed down, for Torak to be able to expand his business again with a different name, while still managing everything.

"You are Tony Gestova's son?" asked the policeman.

If the cop hadn't mentioned the name, maybe Kayden would have been confused about remembering what the name under the car was actually.

"Yes, he is my father," Kayden replied calmly.

"Then tell us where you were at around midnight last night?"

================= 

If it wasn't for Kayden's amazing senses, maybe he wouldn't have been able to find Tiana so easily, because not only was the girl waiting in the park, but she was also hiding under the slide, where Kayden had a hard time seeing her, hugging the backpack that Kayden asked her to take.

Meanwhile, Tiana almost screamed very loudly when she saw the white lycan approaching her if only Kayden didn't quickly turn into his human form.

"Hey, calm down, it's me, I..." Kayden immediately approached Tiana and calmed her down. "I thought you wouldn't be surprised anymore."

"I am not used to seeing that..." Tiana muttered while groaning in fear. Her body was still shaking, but she didn't resist Kayden's touch, which was a good thing.

"We have to get out of here now, let's go," said Kayden as he took the backpack from Tiana's hand and carried it while his other hand reached out for the girl.

Tiana then took Kayden's hand and tried to stand up, patting her pants, to remove the dust and dirt that had stuck to her because she was sitting on the ground.

"What about the two policemen? What did you do to them?" she asked worriedly because Kayden might do something she didn't expect.

"Don't worry, they are fine," Kayden said calmly as he pulled Tiana to the main street and waited for a taxi.

Kayden knew what was going on in his mate's mind and so he explained in detail that he had just let them wait in the living room while he sneaked out of the house.

"They can't see you in your other form?" Tiana frowned in disbelief. "But, why can I see you?"

"Because you are different," Kayden answered quickly.

Tiana's frown deepened when Kayden said that. "I feel bad when someone as odd as you says that I am different. Is that a compliment?"

Kayden laughed at that. "I will explain later, and yes, you can take that as a compliment."

A taxi then stopped in front of the two of them and Kayden held the door open so Tiana could enter first, after which she said an address as their destination.

"Where are we going?" Tiana asked confusedly, Kayden seemed to know very well what to do and how to deal with this situation. It goes without saying that this man is a trustworthy leader.

"We are going to stop by one of my family," Kayden replied. He was running out of money and one of the most essential things in running away was money.

"Your family? Your mother and father?" Tiana asked wide- eyed. "I don't think I..."

"No…" Kayden immediately cut her off and grimaced. He still didn't want to go back home, even though he knew that his father could solve this problem in a snap of his fingers. "He is a close friend of my family who is considered family."

================ 

"Is he a dwarf?" Tiana asked in a very low voice, like a whisper, looking up at the creature that was no more than her knees tall.

"Yes, his name is Nutdrouk," Kayden replied as he stepped into the room filled with various items while Tiana clung to him and looked scared to explore the big house filled with strange furniture.

"I heard that, lady," said Nutdrouk in a hoarse voice, like the sound of a crow. "And I am not your family, so why do you come here?"

Nutdrouk stomped his short legs and looked at Kayden with a puckered nose, as if he didn't like the sudden visit.

Yes, indeed there were not many things that the dwarves like...

"I just killed people, so I need a car to escape and also money," Kayden replied calmly, while Tiana looked panicked when Kayden said all that honestly.

Could they believe the creature in front of them, who seemed that he didn't want to be involved in any trouble Kayden delivered to him at all.

And the fact that the creature wasn't even surprised when Kayden said it was he, who had killed someone didn't escape Tiana's attention.

"Your father could have solved your problem quicker, so go to him," Nutdrouk grumbled. "And you don't have any money anyway, so go away. I do business here."

"Just put it on my dad's bill," Kayden replied lightly.

"No," replied Nutdrouk curtly.

"Are you fighting with your father?" Tiana asked curiously, but Kayden just waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk about it. That's not the right topic for now.

Kayden then stepped over to Nutdrouk and crouched down in front of him. "You're really not going to help me?" he asked in a threatening tone, his eyes staring straight into Nutdrouk's green eyes and making the dwarf groan in annoyance as he thought how troublesome this young man was.
