Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Patience

Rhett

~~

After Isleen and Kylo left the precinct, Rhett buried himself in thought.

Isleen had made him seem like the bad guy, enlisting their people, including his son, to go to war. But she wouldn’t understand.

This was war. Hard decisions had to be made in other to ensure their survival as a pack.

He’d reminded Isleen of their arranged meeting later tonight, and she’d hastily agreed to meet up by 8. He, however, felt her hesitation. He felt her growing disinterest too and it made him grit his teeth with frustration. This Liam case had taken away his mate’s happiness. It’d taken away her trust in him too. He had to solve it once and for all.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door, drawing Rhett out of his thoughts.

"Come in," Rhett grunted, rubbing his temples.

And as expected, Farkas walked in, a curious gaze in his eyes. Rhett arched an eyebrow at him, before speaking with a sarcastic tone. "Look who finally decided to knock today. What’s the occasion, Farkas?"

Farkas rolled his eyes before taking a seat. "Funny. But, I was trying to avoid bumping into Alpha Beowulf and his Beta bitch." After saying that, Farkas turned to Rhett, his voice brimming with curiosity. "Speaking of which, how did the meeting go?"

Rhett sighed, before relaying everything he’d shared with the Alpha and Beta to Farkas. Then, he brought him up to speed about Liam’s case and the enlistment program. After all that, Farkas groaned, rubbing his face.

"I shouldn’t have had so much to drink last night." He muttered under his breath, causing Rhett to crease his brows.

Farkas did what? So that’s why he didn’t show up early today? But why?

Rhett cleared his throat, trying to sound neutral. "Farkas, what happened to you? Why would you let yourself get so carried away that you’d drink so much? Is this because of the losses we sustained during the attack?"

Farkas turned his head away from Rhett with shame in his eyes, making him realize that he’d been right. Farkas still carried the guilt and grief of losing Alistair and all the other soldiers during the battle.

Farkas was a very reputable man, who always took his job seriously. That was why he’d vouched for him to become the military advisor a long time ago. Seeing him let himself go because of something which was honestly beyond any of their control, made Rhett question their loyalty to the Alpha.

"You wouldn’t understand, Gamma." Farkas chuckled bitterly, "And to think even after everything, you’re still relating our plans with that useless Alpha."

"Language, Farkas." Rhett pointed a warning finger at Farkas. "He’s still our Alpha at the end of the day. Don’t incur the Moon goddess’ wrath on yourself."
