47 _ Liar

He was a bad father; Rhett thought. Yes, he was. Except for flickering his gaze to Kylo here and there, his eyes were transfixed on Isleen.

He, however, couldn't let them see him. He hadn't seen the beauty in Isleen's eyes and he was already this hard. Heaven knows what he'd do should she stare at him with those eyes of hers.

Rhett knew he was acting erratically. He should be focusing on the investigation, not watching his mate walk away with his son and some boy. He should get back to the precinct and find Cora.

He berated himself internally. He was a Gamma, a leader, and he couldn't afford to be distracted by personal desires. The pack, the investigation, his son - these were his priorities.

Maybe he was telling himself a lie. Isleen - the moment his wolf recognized her as his mate, she had become his priority too.
