"Yes? Don’t keep me in suspense, Farkas." Rhett narrowed his eyes, his fingers drumming on the table impatiently.
Before he could utter another word, however, his office door burst wide open, and in came Farkas who still had his phone glued to his ear.
"If the impatient Gamma could’ve let me finish, I was about to say that I’m heading to your office to give you the full report," Farkas said, his tone laced with sarcasm.
Rhett shook his head, dropping his phone before muttering impatiently still. "Go on."
Farkas kept his gaze on him for a few seconds before sitting down. Then, he began. "It’s been confirmed. All the blood in that house belongs to one victim. Nick."
Rhett nodded, urging Farkas to continue.
"On the day of his murder, Nick was last seen in two different locations. ’The Wolf Claw Bar’ and ’Motel Ethereal’. We interrogated people in both locations and they said the same thing: ’he was in a hurry’." Farkas reported solemnly.
Rhett furrowed his brows, a thought crossing his mind. "In a hurry? To where? And was he with anyone?"
"According to witnesses, Nick left the bar accompanied by a wolf who we’ve identified as ’Cullen’. They seemed to be in a hurry to Motel Ethereal." Farkas revealed.
Rhett raised his brows in surprise.
Cullen? Isleen’s roommate who was currently living at his house? What could we’ve had with the victim?
"In a hurry to do, what?" He mused out loud, mostly to himself.
Farkas shrugged, "Beats me. I guess we’ll have to go ask him."
Rhett had seen the young man today during the screening. He didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. He had a feeling he shouldn’t trust him, but he doubted it. It just didn’t make sense to him that the vampire would go through all that stress, only to shape-shift to the form of someone who literally lives under his roof.
"I’ll go interrogate him myself. He, Isleen, and another of their friend are living in my house at the moment since their houses were lost to the last attack." He announced decisively.
Farkas creased his brows, a surprised look flashing through his face. "Your house? Why did you let them stay at yours?"
Because Isleen was his mate and it was the least he could do. Kylo had been the one who brought them in the first place, so he actually did the bare minimum.
The thought of potentially seeing Isleen today made his wolf howl in excitement. He subconsciously licked his teeth, as he pictured her naked body from the night before. His skin itched when he went further and pictured her pinned under him. However, he pinched himself before his imagination could go further, groaning silently in frustration.
Argh!
He knew he told himself to give her space, but he couldn’t resist her for so long. And he’d just be dropping by anyway.
But he couldn’t share his inner turmoil with Farkas who watched on silently, his gaze curious. Not yet. But he secretly couldn’t wait to.
