After eating a bit of Cullen and Lupe’s food, I got dressed, ready to go see Gamma Rhett.
I walked alone down the pack’s grounds, watching the pack come to life under the night. Even after the recent attack, the wolves of Raven Wood pack still moved about their daily lives under the cover of the night. More street lights had been added to spots that’d been darker and many houses that’d been reduced to skeletal figures after the attack were now fully reconstructed and ready to be used again.
I shook my head to myself, sighing. If only these people knew about what the pack’s leaders had planned for their young men.
Everyone was walking in at least a group of two, but I decided to just hurry up to the precinct by myself quickly. Kylo had gotten home before I left and had tried escorting me wherever I was going, but I’d declined. How could I let him escort me on a date with his dad? Wait, should I even call it a date? Well, I’d know once I got there.
Getting closer to the precinct, I spotted a tall burly figure resting on a car. I paused, already catching a whiff of his scent from a distance. Gamma Rhett.
He wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt, with a black coat on top it. He didn’t seem to notice me at first, but after turning his head my way, I saw his eyes pause too as his gaze scrutinized me even from that distance.
By the moon, he looked so hot tonight! I wonder if he was taking us to...wait, what’re you thinking about Isleen? Argh! Get your head back into the game!
I rubbed my temples, trying to ignore the weird feeling I had as I finally got close to Gamma Rhett and his car.
"You’re ten minutes late." Gamma Rhett creased his brow, pointing at the time on his phone. It was only ten minutes past eight. "And you came here alone. You should know more than anyone how unsafe the pack is right now, especially at night. You should be more cautious, not reckless."
I rolled my eyes. Why was the man berating me like he weren’t the one who insisted we meet- oh wait, I’d been the one who unintentionally brought up the suggestion of us seeing again tonight. Guess I had to face the consequences of my loose mouth.
I inched closer to Gamma Rhett, looking into his eyes. "Now, is that any way to address your mate, Gamma Rhett?"
My voice came off as a whisper, my mouth barely inches away from the Gamma’s neck. A low growl emanated from my throat, my wolf craving the idea of biting him. He’d marked me and for some reason, I also felt like marking him too, to show he was mine.
I saw Rhett’s eyes widen in surprise but then squint as he studied me closely.
I didn’t mind as my eyes scrutinized him too, going from his eyes to his broad shoulders, lingering on them and then his chest which I was able to get a little peek of thanks to the fact that he had two undone buttons.
"You look... beautiful." Gamma Rhett suddenly blurted, his voice coming off as a husky whisper.
I smirked. Well, of course, I did. I’d put extra effort into getting myself ready tonight. I didn’t know why, but I felt the need to impress Rhett. It seemed I’d succeeded in that department.
"Uhh, Isleen." Rhett suddenly withdrew his face from mine, coughing awkwardly. "You do realize that we’re outside, in public, right?"
