Lydia's neck produced a cracking noise making Kayden realize his mistake. He had no intention of killing her and thus released the woman's neck immediately. Lydia plopped on the ground and Kayden sprinted away in fright of killing her. He did not mean to walk into a peril unknowingly, but it seems things were not going in his favour anymore.
'Did I kill her? I hope not, she survived a while ago. She should this time too, at least in this demonic form.'
He silently observed to spot any movement in her body, Lydia turned her head towards Kayden. Her demonic eyes had an utter expression of pleading, when she questioned him bluntly.
Kayden was unable to leave the spot or abandon his mate, he was now bound to Lydia and required her love and affection to feed upon.
"Why did you do this to me, Kayden? I...I thought you loved me."
Her unusual eyes stared at him with a bit of longing and surprise. Lydia' body began to shake and again an agonizing cracking sound fell into Kayden's ears. He was able to hear it due to the heightened senses, although the words which came out of her mouth stunned Kayden.
Although the mutations occurred in Lydia were the so- called blessings provided by the established bond. Kayden' bite marked her while blessing her with a few perks. He was himself unaware how his peculiar RH- Null blood group affected everyone around him.
It irked Kayden how Lydia was absolutely fine and now suddenly after his touch she was resorted to such a state. He felt sorry for her upon hearing those heart shattering words. Kayden had no choice but to step forward and to put her at ease so the death would be less painful.
'Why does she sound like she is dying? Should I...should I ease her pain at least?'
He assumed things and cautiously walked closer to Lydia and crouched again near her. Kayden reached for her head and lifted it a bit, he could feel his chest tightening upon the thought of her death.
Some strange grieving emotions saddened his heart, as he brushed his knuckles over her cheeks. Somehow he was unable to see her in that state and it left a mild suffocating pain in his chest.
"I'm sorry, I really am sorry Lydia."
A tear crept from her eyes as simultaneously Kayden' body released a healing spell. He was unaware of what happened at that moment. Although for the process to take place effectively without harming Lydia' body, it required Kayden' confession and physical action to prove it.
"I don't know how this happened, but I didn't mean any harm to you."
He couldn't help but to constantly apologize, as Kayden placed her head in his lap. Lydia sniffled as her body gradually stopped shaking, however it went completely unnoticed in the midst of their seemingly romantic confession.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have drank your blood. I...I'm responsible for this."
Kayden panicked upon seeing her crying face, what a tragic end of such a beauty! His focus inclined towards making her at ease, hence Kayden settled her hair back lovingly. He did not want to lie or hold back the true emotions, thus he bluntly accepted his liking towards her.
"I should have been careful with you."
He apologized and stated the concern while staring straight into her eyes. The golden slit colored pupil began to fade, Lydia chuckled softly and reached for Kayden's cheek with he weak hand. It was the moment when Kayden realized that she was not dying, instead the animalistic side was suppressing.
She touched his cheek and smiled at Kayden, who in turn had no clue how to behave upon the realization. It dawned upon him when Lydia' hand touched his cheek, that her limbs returned to their original shape. The regeneration spell had already travelled in her blood through Kayden's saliva and fixed the bones.
Lydia's fangs shrank as her skin unnaturally began to turn pale. A certain kind of mark appeared on her back right at the end of backbone and above her hips. Which of course was hidden under the clothes, it was the official marking of the mate bond established between them.
Medusa had the similar mark on her backbone too, although it differed a bit due to her being Kayden's first partner. Nonetheless Kayden had a lot to explore about his mates, and it as simply beyond his knowledge how his touch and saliva could affect other girls.
It was still a worth pondering and a valuable question, what a demon his sperms could create! Which in turn left a question mark on Kayden's own identity and existence.
Nevertheless, Lydia was gradually healing and her transformation was a bit painful compared to his own. She did not want to waste that chance with him, hence questioned Kayden in a soft tone.
"Tell me, Kayden. You didn't want to do this, it was not intentional, I believe you. But does your concern mean pity or it has any essence of love and affection too?"
Her words caught Kayden off the guard once again, his expressions softened and the sole focus shifted upon Lydia's face. He traced his thumb of the left hand over her lush pink lips, which seemed to have become a bit fuller. Kayden felt strangely attracted to her at that moment, it appeared to be the lust conquering his senses.
'What am I doing? She is still transforming, I can't do this to her. It's not right to force her at the moment, even though she is my mate now. Things were different earlier, Lydia was consensually doing it in a healthy state. And I don't know the cause of these mutations. Fuck!'
Kayden tried his best to refrain from forcing himself on her sexually in that state. Although he smiled back at her, and confessed his emotions. It was another thing that his mission and vile intentions of marking Lydia for a big reason, were already fulfilled. And now that he had already seen her face behind that ugly attire, Kayden could conclude that she was a beauty beneath those hideous baggy clothes.
"Yes, of course. I love you, silly! Why else would I be so concerned and shamed of what I did to you?"
He seized the chance to trap the woman in his word emotionally. Kayden assumed that his intimacy must have left a similar impact and impression on her as it on Medusa. Upon hearing those words the woman reached for his collars and pulled Kayden. Within just a moment their lips shared a kiss, after achieving their goals which undoubtedly differed.
