Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: _ Let’s Ask The Peculiar II

The fact that they found a peculiar creature as Cora had mentioned had made Rhett begin to second guess if Cora was really a bad guy. This meeting with Aceco would tell.

Rhett watched in fascination as Aceco’s gentle touch coaxed the peculiar creature back to its feet. With every stroke of hers, its whimpers subsided and began to get replaced by a low groan that reverberated somewhere deep within its chest.

Finally, it stood tall on its four legs, the vibrant green and blue fur shimmering faintly in the ethereal light beaming in the make-believe cliff.

"There," Aceco announced with a soft smile and a voice that was as gentle as the waterfall cascading behind her "All healed."

Wow. Just wow.

A collective murmur of impressed awe boomed through the trio as they watched the creature wiggle like it wasn’t formerly wounded. Even Darius who seemed to be apparently unwilling to give in to Aceco’s authority couldn’t help but be impressed by the swiftness and ease with which she had mended the creature.

"Excellent," he barked.

With a voice that was sharper than necessary. "Now, can we get on with the questioning?" He further impatiently pointed out.

Argh. Whoever gave Darius such a gut? Whatever was his gut?

Rhett winced inwardly. Darius’ brusqueness always grated on him, especially when dealing with someone as obviously powerful and sensitive as Aceco. He ought to know better since he was eldest amongst them - apart from Aceco, of course.

However, he held his tongue, knowing it wasn’t the time to pick a fight. He’d have his chance someday and put the idiot right where he belonged.

Aceco, however, didn’t seem fazed. With a gentle smile, she nudged the peculiar creature towards them. It looked at them with wide and curious eyes. Its gaze lingered on Rhett for a moment before it looked back at Aceco.

And then, it nudged her hand with its head in a gesture that could only be described as gratitude.

Wow, Rhett thought - Aceco wasn’t bluffing when she said it was intelligent.

"Now then," Aceco began "let’s see if we can get some answers from our little friend."

She used the word ’friend’ with such genuine affection that Rhett couldn’t help but wonder about the bond these creatures shared with their fairy companions.

However, Darius would never cease to be a dickhead.

"About time," he grunted with a voice that bordered on rudeness.

Rhett stifled a sigh. Dealing with Darius’ abrasive personality was another trial entirely.

Aceco, however, lived up to the fey’s peaceful reputation.

"Now then, tell me, little one, what is your name? And who are your owners?" She asked the creature, completely paying no attention to Darius who seemed to want a lot of it.

The creature tilted its head and its eyes gleamed with an intelligence that surprised Rhett.

To the untrained eye, it might seem like it wasn’t reacting, but Rhett could see the slight shifts in its posture, the twitch of its ears - all signs of it processing Aceco’s words.

Aceco closed her eyes for a moment, her expression concentrating. A faint golden light glowed around her fingertips, and Rhett could almost sense the connection forming between her and the peculiar creature.
