Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: _ Oh, Mate

Rhett shook his head. "Direct questioning would yield quicker results, Alpha. We can detect deception, and inconsistencies, and potentially uncover crucial information. That will only be possible when we confront them directly. We do not have a reason to cower or hide behind shadows. We helped them. We also have the right to question them."

Beowulf glanced at Darius, who met his gaze with a nod and a grunt. "I like Rhett's plan, Beowulf," Darius declared. "If you trust him to lead the investigation, I'm willing to lend a hand."

Rhett felt a pang of unease. Why was the Alpha deferring to the Beta on such a critical decision? He didn't like this. He knew his dislike for the Alpha was justified.

Anytime he had a bad feeling about a person, it was always justified.

Beowulf seemed to be thoughtful for a while and finally, he cleared his throat.

"Very well, Gamma Rhett. You have my permission. Proceed with the questioning, but keep Darius involved. Your combined experience will be invaluable."

More like Darius is in charge, listen to him. Rhett would never like an Alpha who seemed unable to make decisions for himself. His business was done here.

He rose from his seat and offered the Alpha a slight bow. "Very well then, Alpha. I will take my leave now."

The Alpha extended a hand and Rhett shook it. Darius also initiated a handshake that Rhett met. "See you at the investigations, Gamma."

"Yes." He stoically stated and left.

On arriving back at the headquarters, Rhett met Farkas already waiting for him just right in front of his office.

"Well, Rhett?" Farkas rasped with eagerness. "How did the Alpha take to your suggestion?"

Rhett sighed and ushered Farkas into his office. "He agreed," he muttered. "But with a little bit of thorn."

Farkas already had his brows furrowed. "What?"

"The Beta joins the investigation." Instantaneously, Farkas hissed. "Darius? That oaf will turn the whole thing into a clumsy mess!"

Rhett ran a hand through his hair, frustration mounting. "My hands were tied, Farkas. I had no choice."

His second let out a throaty growl, but Rhett barely registered it. His mind was already racing ahead. His wolf was wailing, aching – yearning for someone.

"Very well. We will send out word for the meeting tonight so that the questioning can be held tomorrow. We can't afford to waste time." Farkas had gotten serious.

Rhett nodded while his gaze flitted to the map of the surrounding territories sprawled across his desk. "Outposts are set up?"

"Scouts are already patrolling," Farkas assured him. "They'll alert us if anything changes. What happened at Vietanne restaurant last night will not happen again."

It should not happen again. The vampires could not beat them in their own territory. It was even shameful for their reputation with the other wolf packs.
