The Love of a Lycan-Chapter 1176: Kayden (4)

"Looks like this place is about to close," Tiana said in a low voice when she saw a building in front of her.

"Don't worry, they will cook something nice for us," said Kayden. He seemed more approachable and warmer than he had been in recent days.

None of the chairs and tables matched each other, not even the daffodils in the beer bottle as decorations in the center of the table.

On one wall the café was decorated with chalkboards scribbled with hundreds of handwritings in every color and on the other one was decorated with photo frames that didn't match each other at all. Dreamcathcers swung over Tiana's head and she almost ran into it if it were not for this man named Kayden who held it for her.

"What are we going to eat here?" Tiana asked in a slightly worried and curious voice. She couldn't tell if this place was a restaurant, nor a cafe for them to grab a cup of coffee and snacks, so she wanted to know what was being sold at this 'unique' place.

"When someone treats you, don't ask anything," Kayden said with a smile.

Although Kayden couldn't say that he had made the atmosphere between the two of them more friendlier, but at least he managed to make this brief relationship less awkward.

Tiana smiled slightly at him, saying, "May I ask what the ingredients of the meal will be?" she responded to Kayden's terrible jokes quite well and this was a plus in the eyes of the shifter.

"Of course not. You must eat it whatever it is, even if it is made from seeds." Kayden pulled out a chair for Tiana and let her wait there for a while, while he went into the kitchen and talked to someone there.

Tiana couldn't believe that just moments ago she was about to become a victim of Oliver's violence, but now she was in a strange place with someone she just met.

Even though Kayden looked good, he was still a stranger, who she had just met.

It was just that Tiana felt very comfortable with this foreign man, as if they have met before, you know like two people who immediately clicked with one another, even though they have just met, maybe that's how Tiana felt about Kayden now.

Kayden's laughter could be heard from the kitchen. See? Tiana even memorized his voice, wasn't that something extraordinary. The thought made her bit her lip in worry.

Not long after, Kayden returned with a slightly stocky man who always seemed to smile.

"So this is your mate? Not bad," Moris said to Kayden in a voice so low that Tiana couldn't hear him.

"Don't talk carelessly, she is human and doesn't understand our world, let alone with the mate bond," Kayden said in a grumbling voice. That was something that should be regretted.

Meanwhile, Moris was a member of the Aspen Valley pack, which was under his father's territory.

"So, how is the problem with your father?" asked Morris. Of course he heard that the Supreme Alpha's first son was doing something brazen by running away from home.

At the question, Kayden growled in annoyance and grumbled something incoherently, before finally strode toward his mate, leaving the question unanswered.

On the other hand, Moris couldn't help but sigh, just like his father, even his son had an incomparable stubbornness. No one knew what would make the two fathers and sons reconcile.

"Good evening, Tiana," Moris greeted Kayden's mate, who looked nervous and surprised at his sudden greeting. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

"Oh, good evening…" Tiana's voice trailed off when she didn't know what this man's name was.

"Moris, you can call me Moris, I am…" Moris glanced at Kayden, frowning slightly as he searched for the right words to say. "Friends of Kayden," he said at last.

"Moris," Tiana said so softly and gave him a gentle smile, that it made Kayden want to throw Moris out of this place.

"Okay then, I will prepare something for you two," he said before resigning and smiling at Kayden, understanding the gesture given by the man.

There was nothing scarier than getting into trouble with a shifter who has just found their mate, especially if that shifter has alpha blood in him.

After Moris left Tiana and Kayden, the girl smiled wryly and passed the time in silence. She was seen playing with her hands while tugging at the hem of her shirt.

Well, Kayden wanted to tug at the hem of Tiana's shirt too and play with her hands, but of course that was for a completely different reason.

Looking at Tiana now, it seemed like Kayden would have to push all those thoughts into the back of his head for limitless time, until he was absolutely sure that this girl felt safe with him.

Due to the event that had just happened to her, Kayden was not sure if he could make a rapid progress like he wanted.

"May I know what happened?" Kayden asked, because the silence made his mind wander to things he shouldn't be thinking. "How did you end up with a guy like him?"

Tiana glanced at Kayden, but then she lowered her head and kept her mouth shut again.

"Okay if you don't want to talk, but I don't think you should be around him anymore," Kayden mumbled.

And not long after, Moris returned with their super.

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

"Yes, he has found his mate!" said Moris in a booming voice in the kitchen, while Kayden and Tiana had just left the restaurant. "The mate is a human!" he said.

On the other side of the line, Raine's voice breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God he is okay and found his mate, that's a great thing." Of course Raine was happy for her son.

Moris and Raine then talked for a while before the phone line was cut off. Indeed Kayden ordered him not to tell Torak about his arrival, but that didn't mean he was not allowed to tell Raine, right?

Of course this news would eventually reach Torak, but it was definitely not Moris who told the supreme alpha.

Kayden should have given him clear and detailed orders.

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

"I live here," said Tiana in a low voice.

Kayden felt himself as an asshole for insisting on taking Tiana to her house, which meant he would know where she lived.

But wouldn't Kayden be able to protect her a lot better then? Kayden could see in the eyes of the man named Oliver that he wasn't done with her yet.

The man would look for her and Kayden wouldn't let the bastard hang around Tiana.

This situation really frustrated Kayden, he just wanted to tell Tiana not to be afraid of him and that he was more than capable of protecting her.

But, then the most important question was; who is he? In Tiana's eyes, Kayden was just a man she had just met and nothing more.

Even if he had been a little friendly earlier, it was because of her gratitude for Kayden's help, but more than that, Tiana would be alerted by his presence.

He couldn't force himself, but on the other hand he really wanted to end this awkward moment between the two of them. This was very unpleasant.

"You can go now," Tiana said, this time, she didn't hide her discomfort because of Kayden's presence and it hurt the shifter.

"Okay I am going, make sure you close all the doors and windows of your house and lock them," Kayden warned. This world was too terrifying for his mate and he didn't want this girl in front of him to get hurt.

"I see," said Tiana, she stepped back a little when Kayden was about to approach her.

Seeing this movement, Kayden clenched his jaw tightly and balled his fists. He shouldn't have made things more complicated than this and made Tiana even more uncomfortable…

This frustration was going to kill him

"Then I will go." Kayden smiled and turned to go back to his car, otherwise he might have thought of a thousand ways to force himself to be allowed to stay at this girl's house.

And that was included rammed his own car to the tree nearby until it was crushed, so that he has a strong reason to spend the night.

Tiana had just entered her house when she saw Kayden get into the car and start the engine.

Of course, Tiana checked all the doors and windows, making sure they were locked properly. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but Tiana felt that Oliver would find her, so she had to find a way to avoid him.

Leaving the town and disappeared from this place seemed like a good plan to do and it was already in her mind. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

But, enough for that now, it had been a really tiring day and as soon as she had finished showering and changed into clean clothes, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

But, what Tiana didn't know was; Kayden didn't go far from her house.

The shifter parked his car in a nearby park and ran back to Tiana's house in his white beast form.

He knew this was very risky, because as his mate, Tiana would be able to see him in his beast form, but he couldn't help but be near this girl.

With that, the white lycan spent the whole night standing guard in front of Tiana's terrace, curling his body and making sure that he woke up at the slightest sound from inside the house.
