Mated To My Boyfrien Chapter 63: It’s Mum

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 ca but not enough for

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 ti."

He turned to

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

to wait. But I... I couldn’t wait. Sothing just wasn’t right about him. My brother couldn’t be in the woods, so he had no business taking

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 t on the road."

"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 .

W- what the?

How did he know I was about to speak? He wasn’t even looking at . Yet, there was sothing about how firm his palm was that made

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 t, 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 ti 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 .

Geez!

How could he say that in front of Liam?!

He turned to Liam with his voice softening slightly.

Thank God.

"If you happen to rember anything else, please don’t hesitate to tell us."

I liked this tone better.

As Gamma Rhett turned to leave, Liam blurted out one last thing. "If sothing bad happened that night, it was all the fairy’s fault. He scared , sir. There was just sothing... sothing bad about him."

I saw Gamma Rhett pause and a whiff of doubt crossed his face. "The fey entities don’t kill, young man," he said finally, his tone gentle.

Yes, I’d have to agree with him on that table. I had no idea why Liam hated the fey so much. It was probably because he first heard about his brother’s death from one.

But Liam wasn’t convinced. "Maybe things have changed," he insisted. "This one lied to

that he was leading

to my brother, but took

to the woods where I heard cries and stuff. He also had blood on him. He wasn’t wearing the white dress code either, but black. It was suspicious. It IS suspicious, sir."

Sotis, I could swear that Liam was smarter than his age. And other tis, he’d be just as annoying as a teenager. Having no one else in the world could make a child grow faster than their age.

It made .

Gamma Rhett hesitated, then nodded curtly. "Thank you, Liam. We’ll take your information into account." With that, he left us alone once more.

With that, he turned to leave.

A pang of longing filled my chest as I watched him walk away. My inner wolf– that untad part of , yearned to chase after him, to feel the warmth of his touch once more.

But I held myself back, knowing it wouldn’t be right. It would never be right no matter how right it made

feel. Could Kylo just get back here?

I needed that reassurance. I needed that reminder that I was his and his alone. Not his father’s.

Right now, all I could do was comfort the little boy beside . His vulnerability would forever remind

of my younger self. And that was why I’d do anything to protect him.

Liam– my son.

"If you still have your appetite intact after all of that confession, Liam." I urged him. "Let’s eat. And then, we’d talk about you keeping that incident all to yourself later."

He needed to know that I wouldn’t tolerate secrets.

Liam smiled and nodded vigorously. "Yes, Ms. Isleen. But if you must know, I’m always hungry. Very hungry. Just that– I prefer to drink things instead."

"Drink things?" I raised a brow. "You an like tea?"

Liam laughed. "Hm. I drink them like tea, so maybe."

"Just co over here, young man. I’ll go set the table for Cullen and Kylo’s al. They’ll arrive anyti soon."

"Okey dokey, Ms. Isleen."

"Liam?"

"Hm?"

"It’s Mum. It’s not Ms. Isleen. It’s Mum now."
