Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad

Chapter 227: What’s Up With Kylo?

After a while, Rhett eventually got up and started getting dressed. I couldn’t help staring at him as I watched him slide into his underwear, which barely held his dick within.

Lord, have mercy! Since when was I this lewd?

I coughed awkwardly, diverting my gaze away from his naked body. "So, how are things going in the camp? Have you gotten any updates from Aceco concerning the moon goddess’ words and my special ability?"

I still remember our discussion two weeks ago where I revealed my special ability to him and he revealed that he’s the chosen one.

But as I remembered that, I also couldn’t help remembering that it had also been the day of Lupe’s murder. The frightened look etched on her corpse’s face still haunted me till now.

"Things are... Okay. The enlisted soldiers have been doing a good job these past two weeks. They’ve trained hard and have even been sent on missions to fight off vampire threats scattered at different spots around our borders." He replied casually, as he buttoned his shirt.

"Oh, and I’ve released them to come back to the pack for a break today. It should last for about three days, if something doesn’t come up." He paused, seemingly thinking about something.

Eventually, he shrugged before continuing. "But now, about Aceco... She hasn’t told me much, but I’ve made her aware of my chosen one status as per the moon goddess’ guidance. The fairy healer is guiding me on how to get more attuned with my ability to communicate with her."

I nodded my head, a little absentmindedly. That was a lot of information to take in all at once. He said the enlisted soldiers would be coming back today. Did that mean...?

"So, Kylo and Cullen will be coming back today?" I asked, my tone a bit grim when I mentioned Cullen’s name.

We were still on high alert about his true intentions and if he was really the vampire in disguise.

Rhett paused, swerving to face me with squinted eyes. "Yes. And remember to be careful Isleen. We still don’t know if Cullen’s actually the vampire. We can’t make him suspicious if he is."

I nodded my understanding, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.

When he’d finished dressing up I escorted him to the door where he kissed me.

"Take care of yourself." He muttered softly after removing his lips from mine. He gazed into my eyes and I couldn’t help doing the same as it seemed like time had stopped.

But eventually, he opened the door and walked out, leaving me alone again. I was already missing him.

Was that even normal? We’d been intimate and had a long chat, which was a rare thing on his part.

Ugh. Get a grip Isleen!

I sighed as I shut the door behind me before walking to a sofa. After sitting, I couldn’t help thinking about the turn of events in my life.

I’d lost my ’son’, my friend, and my boyfriend even though he wasn’t dead, and now there’s a chance that I’d lost another friend.

If the vampire had Cullen’s skin, that meant he was dead. He could get on my nerves sometimes, but I liked the dude. He was always so real and wasn’t afraid of opening my eyes to harsh realities when I couldn’t come to terms with them.

I’d lost too much but at least I had Rhett to guide me through it.

Just then, the door clicked, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turned my head to the living room entrance, just in time to see Kylo stepping in. And right behind him was Cullen, whose smile contrasted with the blank look on his face.

"What’s up, Isleen?" Cullen grinned, but that only managed to send a cold shiver down my spine for some reason.

I managed to retain my composure, smiling lightly as I got up. "Cullen. I see you haven’t added any weight throughout your stay at the camp. What are they even feeding you guys over there?"

He scoffed before replying. "Regardless of what it is, I assure you that it wouldn’t even be enough to satisfy my hunger."

Okay... That was a weird thing to say. Was I being paranoid, or did that sound like it had a deeper meaning?

I shook my head before turning my gaze to Kylo. He seemed... Odd. He barely even looked at me and simply walked past me, leaving me and Cullen alone.

What. The. Heck? Why was he suddenly acting up?

"Is everything okay with Kylo?" Not knowing what else to do, I turned to Cullen and asked.

He seemed rather unbothered and shrugged before responding. "I don’t think so. Maybe he’s trying to cope with everything he saw in the war. Give him some time, he’ll come around."

I nodded awkwardly, as I glanced at Kylo. He’d gone to the kitchen, undisturbed by our talks about him. _{n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com}

Maybe Cullen was right, but I couldn’t take my ex-boyfriend seeing me and pretending like I didn’t exist lightly. I had to confront him.

I ignored Cullen’s ranting about things he’d experienced in camp and strutted to the kitchen, a burning sensation rising from my chest. I was low-key angry, but I had to calm myself so I could speak soundly to Kylo.

We’d been good friends before he left, so I couldn’t understand his sudden coldness now that he was back.

"Kylo?" I blurted when I stepped into the kitchen, my eyes landing on his back. He was pouring himself a drink but didn’t even bother to face me when I called. "Are you... Are you okay?"

Again, no response.

I threw my hands listlessly into the air, frustration bubbling within me. "Seriously, Kylo, what’s up? Did something happen? Why are you suddenly giving me the cold shoulder?" My voice nearly broke with hurt.

He merely glanced at me before moving toward the door. He walked past me, his shoulder hitting mine as he did. Oh, heck no!

"Kylo, talk to me!" My voice came out in a yell as I clutched his elbow tightly, stopping him from moving. "Did I do something wrong? If I did, talk to me. You can’t just ignore me like nothing happened." I paused, my eyes wavering when he turned to face me.

His voice was icy as he spat. "Why don’t you go talk to my dad instead?"

My eyes shone in shock and my heart

dropped to my stomach. Oh no. He... Did he find out about Rhett and I?
