Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: _ Going To War

Going To War

After a few more minutes of Inspection, Lupe and I concluded that it would take a week— give or take— to rebuild the damages on the house. The problem was...money.

Lupe wasn’t sure her mother’s insurance would cover the costs of the renovation. So, it seemed she’d have to work until she could raise the money.

We headed back to the house, brainstorming on ways to get more money. Lupe was about to give up when she thought of something.

"Hey, you could get Gamma Rhett to help us." She whispered to me as we stopped by the market to get some ingredients for dinner.

I squinted my eyes, looking at her like she’d gone mad.

"Seriously?" I almost yelled. "Just because he’s the Gamma doesn’t mean he’s super rich or anything. Besides, our relationship isn’t even official yet. What if Kylo gets suspicious after his dad who’s seemingly hated me all this while, starts suddenly going out of his way to help my friend?"

Lupe bent her lip, contemplating my words. However, she shrugged soon after. "More reason why you need to confess to Kylo. I mean, it’s not your fault that your mate turned out to be his dad. And cut the crap about him not being rich. He’s the Gamma. Have you seen his house?"

We were both whispering, but I couldn’t help looking around with apprehension. I couldn’t imagine the entire pack knowing about me and Rhett’s secret. It was unheard of!

I sighed. "I don’t know, Lupe. I still need time. It’s not like I can just walk up to Kylo and be like: ’Hey, just wanted to let you know that I’m mated to your dad. He marked me and now I think we’re soulmates. Hope you’re cool with it?’ "

I made sure to sound as sarcastic as possible at the end. I was anxious. Each day that passed in my life made me feel like Gamma Rhett was right. Maybe I was cursed, for defying the moon goddess’s laws.

After getting the ingredients, we finally got home. Or rather, to Gamma Rhett’s house. I couldn’t call that place ’home’...at least, not yet. Gosh, what did I even mean by ’ not yet’? I wasn’t planning to move in permanently or anything... right? freewebnovel-cσ๓

On entering the house, we bumped Into Kylo who seemed rather tense.

"Oh, hey Kylo." Lupe waved sheepishly. He acknowledged her with a smile, his focus on me.

Her gaze wandered from Kylo and then to me, and I just wished she would take the hint. Finally, she excused us and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

"Kylo. I wasn’t expecting you back from work so soon." I forced a smile, my gaze meeting his. He looked stressed and it was so easy to tell too.

Kylo scratched his neck awkwardly, diverting his eyes from me for a second. "Yeah, we had to. Our building didn’t escape the destruction from the attack. It’s currently still under reconstruction, but it should be done in another day or two."

I nodded my head in understanding.

Just then, I remembered something. Liam. My little boy must be starving by now.

"Liam? We’re home!" I called out, looking up the stairs and expecting to hear him scurrying down any moment now. However, I was only met with a silent and awkward cough from Kylo.

"I honestly thought you guys had taken him along with you." Kylo frowned. "He’s not upstairs. I checked."

Those words hit me in the gut like a freight train. Liam wasn’t in the house? Then where the heck was my little boy?

I tried catching my breath, anxiety already getting the best of me. "Maybe– maybe he went for a walk around the pack grounds. Or, maybe he’s with Cullen. Yeah, they probably went out for a harmless stroll."

I said all that to assure myself rather than Kylo. I took out my phone and quickly dialed Cullen’s number.

Switched off.

I was panicking yet again.

"His phone is switched off." I threw my hands listlessly in the air. "That’s so unlike Cullen. He’s almost always on his phone and makes sure it’s charged."

Just then, Lupe walked into the living room, probably hearing my worried talking.

"What’s happening? Is Liam okay?" Lupe looked around, trying to read the room.

Kylo struggled to find the words to reply to her. So, I did it myself.
