Chapter 228: Pestering His Life

Kylo

It took a long fight, but they were able to hold on against the vampires until Aceco’s timely arrival.

The fairy healer had always mesmerized him. The way she could always carry herself with this air of serenity and calm made him feel... oddly at peace. He couldn’t imagine anyone blaming the fey for their misfortunes. They were so close to actual divinity in his eyes.

When Cullen came back to the tent, he scolded him intensely but decided to keep it cool when he answered him like he’d always done. Nonchalantly.

When they were all summoned by Aceco to gather at the camp’s square, he felt an odd mix of emotions.

He’d gone out to search for Cullen during the chaos and had stumbled on his father struggling to fend off a vampire who’d seemingly caught him off guard. When he killed the creature with a gun, his father didn’t even acknowledge his help.

A simple ’thank you’ would have sufficed, but no. Gamma Rhett would always be Gamma Rhett.

Kylo shook his head, grunting to himself. He was used to his father’s lack of emotions toward him. And he honestly didn’t care anymore.

At first, he’d thought that the man blamed him for his mother’s death, but then again, his mother had been an old woman and her death had probably been a relief to his then-teenage father.

Argh! Why was he bothering himself about his father’s past now?

"Hey, you good?" Right on cue, Cullen placed a palm on his shoulder.

He turned to see him staring curiously at him as they waited for Aceco to heal the wounded. He’d sustained only minor injuries during the attack which his wolf was already healing. He was only there because his father mentioned that he needed to address all of them in person.

"I’m fine, Cullen. Quit being a bother." Kylo shrugged his palm off his shoulder, trying his best to ignore him. But how could he possibly do that when he was all over him?

"Come on, you look stressed. Talk to me, what’s up?" He persisted, sounding rather calm for someone who’d faced uncertain death.

A vein throbbed on Kylo’s forehead as he turned to Cullen again, a sarcastic smile stretching on his face. "I don’t know, Cullen. Maybe it’s because we literally got attacked and I saw people die. Actual people."

He was careful not to raise his voice at him since they were surrounded by other enlisted wolves and fey. However, Osmond, who was standing close by, turned to face them.

"Jeez, you two argue like a married couple." He muttered amusingly.

Kylo’s face grew a shade of pink as he subconsciously shifted away from Cullen. Maybe he should just keep his distance away from the blockhead.

After Aceco had finished healing those who were critically injured, his father stood on top of a makeshift podium, while Aceco stood beside him silently. She seemed a bit drained but was more powerful than she looked.

After looking down at the enlisted soldiers for a minute, his father cleared his throat before speaking.

"Training and regular camp activities shall commence tomorrow. You are to get out of your tents as soon as the alarms go off. Lateness will not be tolerated." He spoke calmly.

Again, it was amazing how his father could speak so blankly even after he’d witnessed so much death.
