Chapter 83: _ Next Step~ Mate With Her

"Darius," Alpha Beowulf began, his voice resounding a hint of pleading, "it would be more beneficial to have Rhett with us. His keen senses and sharp mind might come in handy."

What in the seven holy hells was that?

Did the Alpha really need to sound like he was going to have Rhett stay back if Darius said no? There was more to this relationship between Darius and Beowulf that exceeded being just in-laws.

Later, when some of their problems were solved, he would look into this; Rhett affirmed internally to himself.

Darius was silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on Rhett like a predator assessing its prey, sizing him up from top to bottom. Rhett really hoped he’d do something stupid and he’d finally have his punch delivered but he was disappointed.

"Very well." Darius grudgingly agreed.

Rhett saw how Farkas and Bain exchanged surprised glances but none dared say anything.

Alpha Beowulf, who looked relieved by Darius’s concession turned to Rhett. "Rhett, you’ll be accompanying us tomorrow."

Rhett could only manage a silent nod. He felt like the pack would be better off without this Alpha and his Beta.

"Well then," Beowulf said, "I believe this meeting has run its course. Until tomorrow." He patted Rhett, Farkas, and Bain like they weren’t old enough to father him.

The three men saluted him regardless as he strode out of the chamber, Farkas trailing silently behind him.

Farkas broke the silence that reigned between them after those two were out with a low whistle. "Did I just witness a power struggle between the Alpha and the Beta?" he asked rhetorically.

Bain stared at the closed door. "It certainly seemed that way," he murmured. "Darius... he acts as though the Alpha’s power diminishes around him."

"I’ll be leaving too," Rhett murmured and walked out too.

He went straight to his office and awaited Farkas’s return. Farkas would still be coordinating the clearing of the corpses in the dungeon and all.

His mind began to play the possibilities of every piece of data he’d gathered so far. One thing he was greatly sure of was that he needed to interrogate Cora once more. This time, he’d make sure she spilled every little detail she was still holding back.

Yet again, his wolf was whining with longing for Isleen. He was to meet her tonight and he swore, he’d decided to mark her unfailingly. Enough of goofing around. He was a man of principles.

He hated all these sneaky hidden passions between them. They needed to stop getting in each other’s way and face the main problem as soon as they could.

The main problem that they would have would be Kylo. Rhett felt bad that he’d be doing that to his son but if it meant saving his life, then he’d do it again.

Suddenly, a knock on his door startled him from his thoughts. "Come in," he called out.

The door creaked open, revealing Farkas with a weary expression. "Finished with the cleanup?" Rhett inquired, gesturing for Farkas to take a seat.

Farkas nodded and collapsed into the chair with a sigh. "Yeah, all taken care of. Though, the mood among the soldiers is— tense. They’re worried, Rhett. Unsure of what’s happening."
