Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: _ The Meeting

The weight of it all was thick enough to chew on as Rhett stared at Farkas. But revealing the existence of his second mate – Isleen was simply not an option. Not yet.

It would destroy his relationship with Kylo. An already faltering and frail relationship. How inevitable it was even more derailing – making Rhett feel as powerless as a candle in a storm.

Yet, there was nothing he could do. Absolutely nothing. This was beyond him – beyond them all.

It's nothing, Farkas," Rhett finally murmured, forcing a convincing smile. "Just a gut feeling. Maybe I am getting old and rusty. Besides, those fairies didn't seem threatening, just – odd. It wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on them."

Farkas laughed. "Old? You are just a forty-one-year-old man who looks thirty."

When Rhett didn't respond or react, Farkas narrowed his eyes now and got serious, "The fairies are odd, how? Elaborate."

Rhett searched for a plausible explanation. "As I've aforementioned, one seemed oddly confident – almost arrogant, while the other was timid and nervous. It felt — staged, maybe they were trying too hard to appear innocent."

"And this is enough to warrant surveillance?"

Rhett pressed his temples. This wasn't working. He needed to deflect – to change the subject.

"Look, there's more pressing matters," he said. "I want a meeting with all of our soldiers instantly. There's a lot to deal with now, Farkas. We can discuss the fairies and me later."

Farkas nodded. "The meeting is definite. You should head to the conference room now. I'll ask for one of the men to summon the others."

The conference room was akin to a graveyard by the time every one of the higher-ranked soldiers had gathered. Rhett took a minute to study all of their men's faces before proceeding to commence speech.

"The vampires have escalated," he began. "This brazen attack on neutral territory proves they no longer fear the consequences." He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in. "But we are Ravenwood," Gamma Rhett continued, his voice rising in power. "We are descendants of the moon, forged in the crucible of battle. We do not cower in the face of threats. We meet them head-on, fangs bared and claws unsheathed." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

He swept his gaze over the room, seeing as the soldiers shifted comfortably in their seats, all dressed in the pack's military uniform. "Therefore, I command the following: security around the pack's perimeter is to be doubled immediately. No stone should be left unturned. Since the veil was infiltrated, I'm sure that has told many of you so much already – that we are prone to attacks anytime and anywhere. Also, we have enemies in our midst. But we'll let our enemies know that our Ravenwood pack is not to be messed with!"
