The Love of a Lycan-Chapter 1180: Kayden (8)

Tiana didn't know what else she could believe or not, because so many things had happened in the past few days.

Two weeks ago, Tiana wouldn't have believed if there was someone told her she would kill a person with a gun, by shooting him in the head, or told her that mythical creatures like shifters and lycans were real.

But, now she had to experience both.

Tiana was in a state she wouldn't even be able to believe in herself if it was true that Kayden could transform into something else, just like what he said.

Therefore, there was no harm in risking it, right?

Well, there were only two choices for Tiana now, either swimming or drowning and Tiana didn't want to be between the two, not knowing what she was getting into.

"Then show me." Tiana sat up straighter now. "Show me your other form." The words just slipped from Tiana's lips when Kayden confirmed her wish.

================

Tiana woke up with a very dizzy head and a blurry vision. She groaned slowly as she felt her whole world spinning.

And the first thing she saw was Kayden's figure. He was shirtless with a white t- shirt that written 'DESTINY' on his left hand.

Just when Kayden heard Tiana grunt, indicating that she had woken up, he immediately turned around and walked over to the girl.

Because his body was clearly visible and he forgot to wear his shirt, Tiana could see the gunshot marks on the man's shoulder.

The gunshot marks had almost faded and healed, as if they were from a few weeks ago rather than evidence of the horrific events that had just happened last night.

But, then Tiana's confusion was replaced by something else, an unclear image popped up in her head.

A faint shadow of something large, white and savage.

A figure resembling a wolf…

Lycans.

Yes, that seemed to be what Kayden said before, he was a shifter, a lycan, a mythical creature.

And as the memories became clearer in Tiana's head, the same fear began to run through her body and made her scream in panic.

"Hey, calm down, calm down…" Kayden raised his hand and came to the bed, while the girl was trying to get away from him. She panicked and tried to get out of her blanket, but instead she fell to the floor. "Are you okay?"

"Do not come close!" cried Tiana in fear, her voice shaking and she couldn't be seen, because she fell under the bed and was covered by the blanket.

But Kayden knew that at least falling off the bed wouldn't cause her any horrible damage.

"Okay, I am not going any closer, I am right here," Kayden said in a resigned voice. He then put on the shirt in his hand and saw Tiana's head peeking out from under the bed. Her hair looked messy but her eyes stared curiously at Kayden. "Get out of there, we have to have breakfast."

Only, Tiana didn't answer the call, as if she didn't hear what Kayden said.

Last night, Kayden almost had a heart attack, he didn't know if a lycan could have a heart attack or not, but it seemed like what he felt last night was close to one.

When Kayden turned into his white beast form, unexpectedly, Tiana screamed, his mate screamed in fear and was unconscious.

Of course, immediately Kayden returned to his human form and examined Tiana.

He had expected this to happen, with the stress piling up, making his mate unable to bear the things that he was trying to show. Kayden failed to see this because Tiana pretended that she was fine.

"Don't come any closer," Tiana said in fear and Kayden raised his hand in resignation.

"I am not going anywhere." Kayden then walked over to get a chair and sat not far from there. "You can sit on the bed now, the floor is cold and you haven't eaten anything."

Tiana looked at Kayden with disbelieving eyes, but what he said was true, the floor was cold and when he reminded her that she hadn't eaten anything, Tiana could feel her stomach churning and begging for attention.

Ugh! This is embarrassing…

"You… that last night…" Tiana had a hard time finding words and explaining what she was feeling right now. "Is that… real?" she asked at the end of the sentence. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

"Yes," Kayden answered curtly and carefully watched Tiana's reaction. Her face suddenly contorted and her eyes widened, she looked like she was about to scream again, but tried to contain herself.

Therefore, Kayden allowed his mate to take as much time as she needed to calm down.

"Are you… eating people?" Tiana asked then.

Hearing that absurd question, Kayden couldn't help but laugh. What does it mean? Does he look like that in Tiana's eyes? That's why she felt so scared?

"Okay, I know that question must sound stupid to you, but just answer my question, okay!" Tiana said, slightly annoyed that Kayden laughed at her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you," Kayden said, trying to stifle his laughter by biting his lip and taking a deep breath. "No, I don't eat humans."

"But you eat meat?" Tiana asked, rephrasing the absurd question in her head.

"Yeah, I eat meat," Kayden then added. "But you eat meet too, didn't you?"

Tiana pouted when she heard this, but then she ignored the look in Kayden's eyes, which were looking at her with a smile, as if her confusion was what attracted the man in front of her.

"What are you going to do to me after I find out your secret?" Tiana asked in horror, for she had imagined the worst thing Kayden could possibly do. Maybe he would shut her mouth by killing her, right? Everything was possible…

But, instead of answering right away, Kayden got up from his seat and walked towards Tiana with brisk steps.

"What would you do? Stay where you are!" Tiana screamed, she tried to escape from Kayden by crossing the bed, but Kayden caught her ankle and pinned her down.

"Hey, calm down!" said Kayden, holding Tiana's hands above her head as her mate's beautiful nails scratched against his cheeks.

"What are you going to do!? You promised not to hurt me!" Tiana exclaimed, still trying to free herself from Kayden's grip.

"I didn't hurt you, can't you see that you hurt me?!" Kayden exclaimed, he then showed the side of his face that was scratched by Tiana and made the girl feel guilty.

On the other hand, Tiana then stopped struggling and saw four claws from her nails on the side of Kayden's face, but a moment later, slowly, the wounds closed in and gradually disappeared until they healed completely.

"Wow..." Tiana muttered. Even in her frightened state she still found herself in awe of Kayden's healing abilities. "You are recovering quickly."

"Well, for humans, I did recover quickly." But not for shifters.

"Can you die?" Tiana asked with an expression that really showed her curiosity.

"Of course, if you try to kill me in some way, I will die," Kayden said in a more serious voice. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"No way," said Tiana immediately.

"So you will not run away if I let go of your grip?" asked Kayden with a serious face. "You are not going to try to claw me to death, are you?"

"You are not going to hurt me, are you?" Tiana answered him with another question.

"Of course not," Kayden repeated. "I am hungry, so can we eat in peace?"

"Yeah, I am hungry too," Tiana admitted shyly.

"Good then, because I have made breakfast for both of us," Kayden said as he tried to release his grip on Tiana's wrist.

"You can cook?"

Kayden rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance. "I'm not that different from you, okay?"

=================

"Stop looking at me like that," Kayden said, he could feel Tiana's gaze on him from the moment they started their breakfast.

Hearing Kayden's warning, Tiana lowered her head and focused on the breakfast the man made. The food was very good and it was beyond her expectation. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Kayden asked, putting down his spoon after he finished his breakfast.

"Are you going to turn into a werewolf when the full moon?" but then she answered her own question. "Oh no… last night I guess wasn't a full moon, so you can shift at any time…"

"Yep," Kayden replied curtly as he added the milk in her glass.

"Oh!" Tiana seemed to remember one very important thing. "I have heard of this… long ago… many years ago… there were astral beings roaming around and now they're extinct. Is that true?"

Kayden of course knew that, though he wasn't born yet.

"Yes that's correct." Except for the extinct part. However, Kayden would explain this another time.

"Then there's this thing… it says a shifter will only be loyal to one person?"

Kayden raised her eyebrows in amazement. It turns out that Tiana knew quite a few things about his world. "You are right."

However, before the conversation about that topic could take place and Kayden had a chance to explain to Tiana that she was his mate, the sound of the doorbell interrupted them.

"I will check it out." Kayden then headed towards the door, leaving Tiana alone.

But, Kayden didn't leave for long before he finally came back with a serious expression.

"We have to go right now."

"What is it?"

"Police."
