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 names were called and people went in and out, it seemed like a countdown clock to my meeting with fate. I and Kylo had promised never to hide anything from ourselves but how possible could it be for me 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 time," 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 me to come in alone. Could he be requesting to see me alone because he wanted to warn me off of Kylo or because of the bond?
It felt strange mentioning the bond.
The soldier stood firm, "Orders from higher up. It's one at a time now."
