Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: _Protect Them With His Life

"Excellent." Beowulf had a cheerful smile on his face, only managing to irk Rhett more.

The three men talked about some other things, mostly concerning the enlistment process. Rhett did a good job ignoring Darius’ childish remarks, putting most of his focus on the Alpha and his thoughts.

Finally, they all decided to commence the enlistment in two days, but they would first announce it tonight through the local news.

With all that said, Rhett escorted the two men out of his office. As they walked past the bustling activities of the precinct, Rhett spotted Farkas, who first glared daggers at Beowulf and Darius. However, when his eyes met him, Rhett gave Farkas a knowing look. With just his eyes, he was telling Farkas that he understood his pain, and tried calming him down– a sentiment Rhett was used to receiving.

Just as Rhett tore his eyes away from Farkas, his heart nearly skipped a beat. He caught a scent. One that made his wolf growl with desire inside him.

Isleen.

Rhett’s eyes traveled around the precinct, in search of his mate.

After finding out that the seemingly innocent boy, Liam, was actually an ancient vampire who had been feeding on their pack, his mind became burdened with worry. The bastard had been sleeping on the same bed with Isleen all this while! Heck, he was in his house right now, plotting heaven knows what.

He needed to get a hold of the boy...fast.

Luckily, he was able to spot Isleen soon. But she brought company. Kylo.

They both seemed troubled about something, especially Isleen. What were they doing here?

"Excuse me." Rhett left Beowulf and Darius, who both barely registered his exit, as they were too engrossed in whatever childish conversation they had.

Just as he walked towards Isleen and his son, he saw her head rise. She’d sensed him approaching already. When their eyes finally met, Rhett felt like the whole world had come to a standstill.

He knew she felt the same way too from the way she smiled absentmindedly at him. Kylo, who seemed confused about what Isleen was looking at, finally saw Rhett.

Damn it. Rhett coughed, shaking his head as he reached the pair. He managed to sound formal as usual as he spoke.

"Kylo. Isleen." He acknowledged them both with a nod. His heart tightened when he saw the smile on Isleen’s face being replaced with a distraught and withdrawn look.

Argh! He hated having to pretend like Isleen wasn’t his mate, especially in front of his son. He deserved to know. And both of them deserved the freedom to openly express their emotions.

"Gamma Rhett, so glad we could see you directly." Isleen stared at her feet for some time before finally looking at Rhett, a wry smile on her face.

Rhett couldn’t help feeling something was off. He noticed Isleen’s voice was shaky, her eyes a bit swollen. She’d been... crying? His mate had been crying?

Rhett frowned, staring into Isleen’s eyes. "Is there something wrong? Are you..."

He trailed off just then, tilting his head to meet Kylo’s curious gaze. Rhett cursed inwardly. He’d nearly slipped up there for a second.

"There’s no time to waste, father." Kylo finally spoke, urgency in his voice. "It’s about Liam. He’s... missing."

As if that were a signal, Isleen sniffled, struggling to hold back some tears.

Rhett opened his mouth slightly at the revelation.

The little runt was missing? And just after they’d discovered what he really was too. This was bad. Really bad!

Rhett had his eyes glued on Isleen, eager to know more. "When last did you see him?"

Isleen drew in a deep breath, to calm herself. Rhett’s heart ached to see her like this. He wished he could hold her. Comfort her and tell her that she doesn’t need to worry about Liam.
