Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: _ Rhett Will Win

"His clothes were covered in blood and he was holding that little boy. But I spoke to him..."

Rhett’s brows furrowed. "About?"

"I asked him where he found those clothes and the boy. He told me — that he found the boy’s brother wounded from the attack and he has been requested to go bring the little one. I personally tendered my condolences to the little boy who appeared to be visibly grieving." Explained, Cora.

Now – this had yet disrupted the guesses he had in his mind. If Liam was with Reed because he was taking him to his brother, it meant the little boy was innocent.

Farkas’s interjection cut the chase of his thoughts. "That’s a lie."

Simultaneously, Rhett and Cora’s gazes turned to him.

"Reed was not taking the boy to his big brother. When I checked the information of the boy, his brother died in the attack. We took everyone who died and those who were injured ourselves. Nobody was allowed in the crime scene and I sure as hell didn’t see any civilians around." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

That was indeed true. Rhett did remember Isleen telling him about Liam losing his elder brother. "Are you lying to us again, Cora?"

"No. No. No." Cora jerked up. By the gods, I’m not. I really am speaking the truth this time. I did Reed that night and he told me that. He told me to go wait for him and he never returned after that." She swore.

Rhett and Farkas exchanged glances. It was now clear that the more they knew, the less they realized they knew.

Farkas sighed. "Apart from his bloody clothes and strange outfit, did you notice anything strange with Reed that night?"

Cora didn’t take a second to speak. "Yes, yes. Indeed! The way he acted. The way he spoke –it almost seemed... different. I was very confused at first, but then, it was Reed. Just the look in his eyes. I thought of it as him being traumatized by everything that was happening and having to see the injured wolf too."

A pin-drop silence descended upon for a while.

The only noise that echoed was that of the activities bustling outside. Rhett knew it was late and Cora needed to get going soon. It was obvious that the pack wasn’t a safe zone for now.

"I think we just have to wait for the autopsy to confirm the identities of the victims. And then, we’d know how to link them to this occurrence." Rhett intentionally wanted to dismiss the interrogation now.

Cora, however, inclined her head. "The boy. I think he must be the recent young wolf remains found recently in the woods. Ever since I heard it, I’ve been restless. I fear Reed took him to the vampires. But – Reed would never do that. Aella and her family are good people, the stars be my witness!"

"The boy is alive, Cora." Rhett grimly said. "We will interrogate him tomorrow. But for now, you need to leave as it is already getting dark."

Farkas opened the door with a creak. "The others seemed to have left." He surveyed.

Oh. Rhett would never forgive himself if anything happened to Cora because of this interrogation. As a matter of fact, he thought she might be in danger for being the only witness to the missing family’s tragedy.

"I’ll drive you home." He stood up.
