Kayden’s POV
“Rhea, listen to me. Those men did not hurt me on purpose. We were playing a game of chase and I fell down. I’m absolutely fine and there’s nothing to worry about,” she explained so sweetly that I admired her.
The little girl must be her daughter. “Who’s he?” Rhea questioned, turning her gaze to me.
Lucy then turned to me. “Everyone, this is…” She started, giving me the cue to introduce myself.
“Kayden. My name is Kayden. It’s nice to meet you all,” I introduced myself and she smiled. “Kayden, this is Rhea,” she said, referring to the girl in her arms. “I’m sure you already know Gath,” she said, referring to the grumpy person that had come with us. “This is Sonia, George, Kelsie, William, Harris, Gina, Rebecca, Javier, Daniel, Alec and finally Rina,” she introduced all of them while they just acknowledged me with a wave of the hand.
“I found Kayden being chased by the vampires in the city so I helped him. He’s hurt so he’ll stay with us for the meantime, just until he gets better,” she announced and they all said nothing, just stared at me strangely, giving me the feeling that I wasn’t welcome. I couldn’t really blame them; these people are young and most likely have lived most of their lives in fear so I get that it would be difficult to trust me right away. I stretched a bit and my back ached once more. Gosh, I miss having my wolf. If I had my wolf, I would have started healing already. Being human just sucks. I need to find a way to heal quickly so that I can leave here as soon as possible to begin the search for Lucia, the Vampire King's fated mate.
“Won’t you all welcome him?” she questioned and they all chorused, “You’re welcome to our home.”
“Thanks,” I said, and Lucy waited for no further discussion before grabbing my arm and taking me into the house.
