Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: _ Hurt

Where on earth was he driving at with this question anyway?

Silence descended on us. My Wolf was propelling me to avert my gaze from his badge and look him in the eyes but I dared not to. I had no idea how a man could be so composed after finding out that his son's girlfriend that he hated was his mate.

Finally, Gamma Rhett spoke but his voice softer now even as it carried the same weight of authority still. "Before I speak my mind on your —" He gave a noiseless scoff. "...entanglement with my son, I propose a test."

My head snapped up, curiosity battling with apprehension within me. "A test?"

I didn't like the sound of that. I feared whatever Gamma Rhett's test would be.

"Indeed," He confirmed. "I suggest you spend the next week immersing yourself in the lore of the Runewood pack. Learn about our traditions, and delve into the worship of the moon goddess. Understand what it truly means to be part of this pack." In a lower tone, "Understand the consequences of going against the pack's customs and traditions. Understand what it means to go against the Moon goddess's wishes."

Why was he confusing me?

Was he talking about the mate bond between me and him right now or me and Kylo who weren't mates being together?

He leaned forward, his gaze holding mine. "After that, you can decide. You can decide if you want to defile the tradition and commit blasphemy against the Moon goddess. I'm sure you don't want to be like your parents."

Did he really have to say that?

Why the hell was he being so mean?

Tears blurred my vision, threatening to spill, and my wolf snarled in hurt. Look what the Moon goddess had done to us; I wished I could say to it.

"What do you mean, 'like my parents', sir?" I coughed, my voice trembling. "They were loyal members of the pack! Just because they had different..." I swallowed the word, fear constricting my throat, "Beliefs..."

He didn't allow me the grace to finish my statement. He knew he was the boss here and he knew it well. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Different beliefs that led them to their downfall, wouldn't you say? Ostracized and dead for their defiance. Is that the legacy you want for yourself, Ms. Garcia?"

Oh, fuck you, Gamma Rhett. Fuck you.

His words struck a raw nerve. Hot anger surged through me, replacing the hurt I was leeching on. "And whose fault is that?" I spat, surprised by the sudden strength igniting in me. "The pack's, for clinging to outdated traditions and punishing those who dare to think differently! A young and learned Alpha has taken over and one of the first things he did was abolish that archaic rule about the mate bond."

Like he didn't know that already. This rude beautiful man just didn't care. Hard to attribute him to Kylo. They bore stark contrasting personalities.

Gamma Rhett's eyes narrowed. "The new Alpha may change laws," he said, "but he cannot change the will of the Moon Goddess. Like I said, this is between you and me..."
