Chapter 63: _ It’s Mum

Isleen

~~

Nothing could change the fact that she did not like that look on Gamma Rhett’s face as he questioned Liam. The boy was just a kid, for Pete’s sake!

Yeah, he made a mistake not disclosing his encounter with the fairy but he was probably too scared to talk about it. Not after losing his older brother and only family like that.

She made sure to offer Liam a comforting hand as he relayed his experience.

"It was afar but I heard it. Faintly and it disappeared just as it came but not enough for me to not catch, all thanks to my awakening inner wolf." Liam looked down and my heart reached out to him.

The poor boy.

I squeezed his hands gently. "Take it one step at a time."

He turned to me with a smile before continuing. "I asked the fairy if he heard it too. That’s when he said he’d go check it out and told me to wait. But I... I couldn’t wait. Something just wasn’t right about him. My brother couldn’t be in the woods, so he had no business taking me there."

Oh, poor Liam; I thought. My poor boy, my poor son...

Even still, that untrusting glint remained in Gamma Rhett’s eyes.

What was his problem? Liam was already trying enough as it was. This could give him trauma for heaven’s sake!

"What about the other fairy woman? Did you ever see her again?"

Liam shook his head, his large eyes filled with confusion. "No, sir. Only when we first met on the road." freēwebnovel.com

"And why didn’t you tell us about this earlier, Liam?" Gamma Rhett’s voice grew stern. "Especially after the news broke about the wolf pup’s bones found in the woods."

Didn’t Liam say he was scared? I opened my mouth to interject but Gamma Rhett held out a palm midway to stop me.

W- what the?

How did he know I was about to speak? He wasn’t even looking at me. Yet, there was something about how firm his palm was that made me want to place mine in it. As though if I did, I’d be protected for every day of my life.

Liam’s brow furrowed, the innocence in his gaze undeniable. "I... I didn’t figure, sir."

No. No. No. My boy was utterly scared now. I should talk.

I couldn’t help myself. "He’s just a child, Gamma Rhett," I interjected, my voice carrying a protectiveness I couldn’t hide. "He’s been through enough pain."

I and Gamma Rhett’s eyes met, and a spark– a familiar heat ignited in my chest. It was a feeling I’d tried so hard to suppress, yet it flared up every time Gamma Rhett was near.

This man should leave soon though. Kylo might decide to branch on his way back from work. Not after the news about Mr. Fenrir’s death must have spread through the pack.

I never knew Gamma Rhett could be this obedient. Or considerate. He did want to leave.

Clearing his throat, he stood up. "Isleen, we’ll discuss about– us later. Tonight." He said to me.

Geez!

How could he say that in front of Liam?!
