Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: _ Sweet Man

With a quiet sigh, I slipped out of the room and padded towards the kitchen, the faint glow of the morning light filtering through the windows. I could smell and sense Gamma Rhett with every step I took and I didn’t quite blame myself for it.

I had just had a very crazy dream that did nothing but remind me of him, so smelling him wasn’t strange after waking up from it.

Kylo had told us Gamma Rhett wouldn’t be returning home in days since the attack would take most of his time. I tried to hum to take my mind off of thinking about him.

But as I rounded the corner into the living room, I froze. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

There, in the center of the room, stood Gamma Rhett. He was still clad in the same outfit as from the battle, filled with a mixture of grime and dried blood clinging to the leather and fabric.

His broad shoulders were tense and his expression was nothing short of shock. His eyes darted around the room and then landed squarely on me.

Their shock mirrored my own. My breath hitched in my throat as his gaze lingered on the soft fabric of my nightgown, tracing the exposed skin of my arms and legs. His jaw clenched, and a faint flush crept up his neck.

Kylo, so much for being so sure your dad wasn’t coming home anytime soon.

I didn’t know what to do or say. I was literally caught off guard and so was Gamma Rhett. None of us was prepared for what was before us.

He probably had a million questions in his head. I could see the questions in his eyes. Knowing a man like him, he wouldn’t appreciate the company of outsiders in his home, I was sure.

It felt like an eternity before Rhett finally spoke. I didn’t know if it was exhaustion but his voice was hoarse and rough, tingling my insides.

"Isleen?" he called, his gaze flickering away from my exposed skin for a fleeting moment before returning. "How do you feel now?"

W–what the hell?

What was this man exactly? He clearly was beyond stunned to find me in his house but instead of asking what I was doing there, he wanted to know about my health first.

Tell me, if it were some other girl, wouldn’t they have fallen for this man as easily as I was? He was so cold, so mean, and yet, so passionate, affectionate, and caring.

Matter of fact, I didn’t think there was anyone who cared for this pack as much as he did. Every time he was like this, I understood where Kylo got his consideration blood from.

He seemed to sense my confusion. He ran a hand through his sweat-dampened hair, the gesture revealing a glimpse of vulnerability beneath his hardened exterior. "The attack," he clarified, his voice tight. "You were injured."

Why was he pointing that out like I didn’t know? To be frank, Gamma Rhett was so soft. Too soft that he could only be cold. If that made any sense.

"Injured?" I scoffed. "Compared to what the pack has faced, my injuries are nothing. And thanks to you, Aceco treated me on time despite the disapproval of the pack."

Rhett’s jaw clenched again. He ignored my gratitude. "No injury is insignificant," he countered. "Especially not yours." His gaze softened for a fleeting moment and I saw a flicker of concern that sent a jolt through me.

Especially not mine?
