Mated To My Boyfrien Chapter 5: Hated by my mate

Chapter 5: _ Hated by my mate

The first person was called in for questioning and then, the other and the other.

"I'll go in with you when it's your turn." Kylo took my hand and squeezed it assuringly, mistaking my tension for nervousness.

As the nas were called and people went in and out, it seed like a countdown clock to my eting with fate. I and Kylo had promised never to hide anything from ourselves but how possible could it be for

to tell him that his Dad was my mate?

Finally, "Ms. Garcia, you're next." The soldier called and my pulse quickened.

Kylo didn't leave my hand. "We'll do this together." He said in a promising tone and I nodded.

Together, we approached the door but were intercepted by a soldier. "Sorry, sir, but it's one person at a ti," the soldier explained.

My jaw slacked. I had seen two people walk in in pairs. First were the old couple and the twins.

Kylo was visibly frustrated as he argued, "But others went in together! Why the sudden change?"

Now, I had no idea why Gamma Rhett wanted

to co in alone. Could he be requesting to see

alone because he wanted to warn

off of Kylo or because of the bond?

It felt strange ntioning the bond.

The soldier stood firm, "Orders from higher up. It's one at a ti now."

I gently touched Kylo's arm, signaling him to comply. "It's okay, Kylo. Let

handle this alone. I will be fine," I reassured him.

"Babe, are you sure?" Kylo was reluctant as his forehead puckered.

I tapped his hand while rapidly blinking, hoping he wouldn't glimpse how unsure I was. "Sure, babe. Sure."

Reluctantly, Kylo nodded. His concern was evident in his eyes. Poor Kylo – he had no idea. I took a deep breath and followed the soldier toward the interrogation room.

As we walked down to the room and finally reached the heavy door, the soldier knocked for .

Gamma Rhett's deep voice resounded. "Co in."

Taking a deep, fortifying breath, I pushed open the door and stepped into the lion's den. I knew sothing was up the mont the soldier didn't go in with . Gamma Rhett was sitting alone behind that table, his eyes boring into .

My Wolf began to pace, stirring back to life as it picked on his incense sll. It was such a distinct kind of sll that would surely bring his face to

every ti I burned an incense.

Excitent surged through my Wolf as it began a series of joyful dances within , urging

to go claim what was mine. My Wolf longed for Gamma Rhett in a very much scary way.

Was he not even in the least bit shaken by this revelation? I could barely breathe now because of it. Gamma Rhett, what was he?

"Ms. Garcia, please sit," Gamma Rhett's voice rumbled and gestured to a chair across from him.

The room was suddenly shrinking to hold only

us - or was it just

being paranoid? I obeyed and sat, my every nerve on high alert. I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes, and thus, I settled my gaze on that desk, noting how clean and well-trimd his fingernails were.

The room was silent for a mont before Gamma Rhett spoke. "You were a witness to the incident at the restaurant. Tell

everything you saw."

Of course, what was I thinking? That he'd speak about the mate bond?

He probably thought of it as a polluted thing sent down to curse a rift between him and his son.

"Erm — I..." I began to stutter, hating myself for my lack of strength at this ti when I should be strong.

This was my boyfriend's dad - I needed to try to impress him. "Good morning, Gamma Rhett. It's a pleasure to et you." I decided to exchange pleasantries with him at least.

"Recount what you saw." He stated more firmly this ti and my skin turned red with embarrassnt.

Oh lord, if the ground doesn't open up and swallow

this ti, I'd die of sha. One thing was clear; Gamma Rhett didn't like

at all.

I went ahead to narrate the attack according to my own point of view. Gamma Rhett would scribble so points and return his firm gaze to

after. Each ti my gaze t with his, I'd shrink and pinch myself hard.

Finally, when I was done. "We are glad for your service to save the life of a mber of the pack. However, next ti, rush to get help instead of risking your life."

I had no idea why my Wolf suddenly felt better because that sounded like he was particularly worried about .

However, that feeling was short-lived when I stood up to leave and Gamma Rhett stopped . "I'm not done with you just yet."

I swallowed a lump down my throat. I knew it. I sat and gripped the armchair, my knuckles turning white. I couldn't say a word, so I stared at the badge on his jacket.

Gamma Rhett's gaze sharpened into steel as he leaned back in his chair. "Are you a worshipper, Ms. Garcia?" His voice echoed.

I swallowed as the weight of his question pressed down on . "I..." I faltered as the words snagged in my throat. "Am both — in a way."

It wasn't a lie, just an incomplete truth.

I wasn't a devoter but that didn't an I didn't have my beliefs on the traditions. I just didn't subscribe to all of them. Both my parents had instilled in

a reverence for the moon goddess and the pack's traditions, but their tragic demise had left my education incomplete.

Gamma Rhett scoffed. It was a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Both," he repeated, disdain dripping in the word. "A convenient answer for soone who hasn't bothered to delve deeper." His eyes flashed with sothing I couldn't decipher, a mix of disappointnt and sothing — else.

Heat stung my cheeks at how casually he had handled my response and the judgental countenance he wore now. He didn't know my story, hence, he had no rights to judge . My parents' absence was not sothing she deserved to be mocked for.

"My parents died when I was young," I said. "Which of course, isn't news since they are the famous traitors. I didn't have much guidance."

My Wolf didn't like the tone at which I spoke to him. I didn't think he liked it either. I did not think he liked . My mate hated .
