Chapter 6: _ Hurt
Where on earth was he driving at with this question anyway?
Silence descended on us. My Wolf was propelling me to avert my gaze from his badge and look him in the eyes but I dared not to. I had no idea how a man could be so composed after finding out that his son's girlfriend that he hated was his mate.
Finally, Gamma Rhett spoke but his voice softer now even as it carried the same weight of authority still. "Before I speak my mind on your —" He gave a noiseless scoff. "...entanglement with my son, I propose a test."
My head snapped up, curiosity battling with apprehension within me. "A test?"
I didn't like the sound of that. I feared whatever Gamma Rhett's test would be.
"Indeed," He confirmed. "I suggest you spend the next week immersing yourself in the lore of the Runewood pack. Learn about our traditions, and delve into the worship of the moon goddess. Understand what it truly means to be part of this pack." In a lower tone, "Understand the consequences of going against the pack's customs and traditions. Understand what it means to go against the Moon goddess's wishes."
Why was he confusing me?
Was he talking about the mate bond between me and him right now or me and Kylo who weren't mates being together?
He leaned forward, his gaze holding mine. "After that, you can decide. You can decide if you want to defile the tradition and commit blasphemy against the Moon goddess. I'm sure you don't want to be like your parents."
