Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: _ Hated by my mate

The first person was called in for questioning and then, the other and the other.

"I'll go in with you when it's your turn." Kylo took my hand and squeezed it assuringly, mistaking my tension for nervousness.

As the names were called and people went in and out, it seemed like a countdown clock to my meeting with fate. I and Kylo had promised never to hide anything from ourselves but how possible could it be for me to tell him that his Dad was my mate?

Finally, "Ms. Garcia, you're next." The soldier called and my pulse quickened.

Kylo didn't leave my hand. "We'll do this together." He said in a promising tone and I nodded.

Together, we approached the door but were intercepted by a soldier. "Sorry, sir, but it's one person at a time," the soldier explained.

My jaw slacked. I had seen two people walk in in pairs. First were the old couple and the twins.

Kylo was visibly frustrated as he argued, "But others went in together! Why the sudden change?"

Now, I had no idea why Gamma Rhett wanted me to come in alone. Could he be requesting to see me alone because he wanted to warn me off of Kylo or because of the bond?

It felt strange mentioning the bond.

The soldier stood firm, "Orders from higher up. It's one at a time now."

I gently touched Kylo's arm, signaling him to comply. "It's okay, Kylo. Let me handle this alone. I will be fine," I reassured him.

"Babe, are you sure?" Kylo was reluctant as his forehead puckered.

I tapped his hand while rapidly blinking, hoping he wouldn't glimpse how unsure I was. "Sure, babe. Sure."

Reluctantly, Kylo nodded. His concern was evident in his eyes. Poor Kylo – he had no idea. I took a deep breath and followed the soldier toward the interrogation room.

As we walked down to the room and finally reached the heavy door, the soldier knocked for me.

Gamma Rhett's deep voice resounded. "Come in."

Taking a deep, fortifying breath, I pushed open the door and stepped into the lion's den. I knew something was up the moment the soldier didn't go in with me. Gamma Rhett was sitting alone behind that table, his eyes boring into me.

My Wolf began to pace, stirring back to life as it picked on his incense smell. It was such a distinct kind of smell that would surely bring his face to me every time I burned an incense.

Excitement surged through my Wolf as it began a series of joyful dances within me, urging me to go claim what was mine. My Wolf longed for Gamma Rhett in a very much scary way.

Was he not even in the least bit shaken by this revelation? I could barely breathe now because of it. Gamma Rhett, what was he?

"Ms. Garcia, please sit," Gamma Rhett's voice rumbled and gestured to a chair across from him.

The room was suddenly shrinking to hold only

us - or was it just me being paranoid? I obeyed and sat, my every nerve on high alert. I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes, and thus, I settled my gaze on that desk, noting how clean and well-trimmed his fingernails were.
