Chapter 3 Wings And Charms

Medusa's eyes shone bright and her fangs grew longer, while Kayden never assumed a succubus would have that trait too. Malcolm on the other hand stood there quietly, he was not allowed to act on his own without her command. Kayden glanced at her with a panicked gaze, he became concerned about his father's safety.

However he never knew the identity of his own mother, who hid her status as the succubus queen successfully. That's why Kayden was unfamiliar with the family of his mother's side, and was only aware of his incubus blood. On the other hand the succubus was there in the vampire realm to 'meet' her master.

The vampires and incubus/succubus had a peace treaty signed eons ago, they were not supposed to mingle with each other casually. The blood moon festivals and other such occasions which were shared by both races were the only times they had crossed paths.

Nonetheless black wings appeared from Medusa's back as she plunged towards the door. But before she could reach, Kayden grabbed her arm and pulled the succubus back on the bed. He glared at her with his crimson eyes, although the act stunned Kayden about his increased physical strength.

"Wait, dad! I'm changing clothes, I will be there for breakfast in a while."

Kayden opened the door ajar and yelled to his father, who returned with a nod. On the other hand Malcolm keenly observed Kayden and his movements. If succubus was a playful person by nature, he was like a silent yet observant ghost lurking by her side.

Kayden closed the door and heaved a sigh before turning to succubus, he completely ignored Malcolm's presence who did not seem a potential threat to him. Medusa playfully toyed with her ginger hairlock, as she sat on the bed and questioned him.

"Why did you stop me from killing him? He is the one who lured your mother and forced her to rebel against her own parents."

Kayden grew irritated with her constant questioning, it was his time to inquire about everything. He sat on the bed and stared at Malcolm, who had transformed his appearance into vampire-like.

Malcolm's horns disappeared and his skin became lighter shade like vampires, however his heterochromic eyes did not get affected.

"Listen, I'm asking this again politely once again, who the fuck are you two?"

Although Kayden was an incapable vampire, who could not awaken his powers, he still had some strong traits.

He was physically a lean 19 years old boy who could easily land a punch and injure any vampire kid of his age. But the shocking state during Anna's incident diverted his focus, that's why her new boyfriend could strangle him.

The succubus gasped at his question, which brought a mocking smirk on Malcolm's face. Kayden on the other hand expected a serious answer, while he tried to figure out the reason for experiencing the connection between all three of them.

"Apologies, master. I'm Medusa and this is Malcolm, we are your blood bound servants."

Medusa explained him with a obedient tone as she flapped her black wings and got off the bed. Kayden choked with the realisation, he knew blood servants were not a thing anymore in the vampire world.

Numerous things had changed and the vampires also experienced a deviation in their traits. They lost a few perks but explored new ones to replace them. The new generation could not heal on their own, or create blood pets. Biting other vampires meant a sacred relationship now, like a commitment.

However they had grown civilised but scattered in between the status quo. The vampiric magic differed in intensity and levels on the basis of the user's blood group. The noble bloods possessing O blood group, either positive or negative were the powerful people. Considering all the facts and figures Kayden was an outcast for both of the races, the vampires and succubus/incubus.

"Blood servants? Are you in your senses, huh? And if that includes drinking your blood, then I'm not going to be fooled by you because such a thing doesn't exist."

Kayden' concern and worry increased upon hearing those words. Medusa shook her head and her wings disappeared leaving a fading smoke. She seemed disappointed in her master, who was nothing more than an 'unaware' boy perhaps.

"Blood servants...um...we are..."

The succubus hesitated in replying to him upon realising Kayden's unawareness while he stared at her face. Meanwhile Malcolm walked closer and knelt on his one knee to explain the so-called master.

"Greetings, my lord. We are your personal butlers and bodyguards. We both are linked to you by blood pact and you can feed on us to nourish yourself. Drinking our blood will not create any kind of intimate bond with us, instead we will just be your living food bags and protectors."

Kayden felt his stomach churning upon hearing those nasty words. The vampires had stopped drinking blood, and it was not available that easily. The human blood was now like an expensive wine with the basic flavours caused by the types of blood groups present in the humans.

The vampires preferred to eat normal food like humans and had developed the liking to it. However the human blood could grant strength which was temporary, just like the 'drunk' effect caused by alcohol.

"Do you have any idea what you are talking about, huh? Vampires don't need to feed on blood to nourish, and that's not even permanent strength. And who the hell hired you two creeps as my caretakers or bodyguards?"

Kayden rebuked Malcolm, while Medusa heaved a sigh at his sudden cold tone. She was literally fangirling him since the moment Medusa bit Kayden. However Malcolm did not expect a foul tongue from his master, but he gulped down his loathing and calmly replied.

"With due respect master, we are aware that drinking blood can't give desired results in the case of vampires. But for mixed blood it works effectively, if you wish to try it we will always be at your beck and call."

The succubus nodded in agreement to vouch his words. But Kayden had no clue how to react to the current ongoing incident.

He shot up from the bed scantily dressed in trousers and a shirt, which exposed a bit of his chest.

"Wait, wait...mixed blood?"

Kayden feared the obvious truth about his peculiar blood group, which made him question a lot of things.

Nonetheless he waited for Medusa's reply before confronting his father on the issue.

"You have inherited a peculiar kind of blood due to being an offspring of a vampire and a succubus, master."

Upon hearing the truth Kayden dashed towards Medusa speedily, his right hand was around her neck as Medusa' back collided with the wall.

Malcolm took a few moments to figure out what just happened because Kayden' powers had grown to a visible extent overnight. Kayden hissed at her with his grown fangs and glowing crimson eyes. His rage and resentment fueled the powers and a pair of wings emerged from his back.

Due to being a mixed blood Kayden's wings differed from normal people. Malcolm remained stunned on his spot upon witnessing the pair of red wings which had peculiar metal blades at the ending.

"I dare you to repeat that with this daringly shitty mouth of yours!?"

The vampires had deeply rooted resentment for her kind, when Medusa stated the identity of his mother it served as stimulus to fire up Kayden's hate.

At the end it helped his hidden powers to surface, however in his madness Kayden kept on choking her.

The succubus tried to call out him and struggled to break free, but Kayden's powers were not a match for her. Both of the servants could easily fight the vampires using their mystical charms and powers. But mixed bloods were more powerful, and Kayden's peculiar blood group was another perk.

None of the charms of a succubus or the magic of a vampire could affect him to lethal extent. However Kayden's powers were still in the developing stage and he had no clue how to tackle and control the sudden outbursts of powers.

"Master, please leave her. I beg you!"

Malcolm grasped his senses and sprung in front of Kayden and begged him. It was the moment when he released her neck and stepped back in shock. Kayden ran to see his reflection in the mirror upon realising that his back became heavy.

"NO WAY! This is not true, no! It can't be possible."

He yelled in agony upon seeing the huge wings and two crooked horns in his reflection. Kayden ran downstairs to confront his father while Malcolm rushed towards Medusa who was coughing by now.

"Dad! I need to talk!"

Kayden approached him in the kitchen, while the edges of his wings ruined the paint of the walls on the way. Upon seeing his son in the 'changed' state Mr Jones became astonished. It was the moment when Medusa and Malcolm trailed behind Kayden in the kitchen and the atmosphere suddenly turned serious with the tension.
