Chapter 163: _ Have You Gone Mad, Rhett?
Rhett turned his gaze to Darius, not even trying to hide the disdain in his voice. "If I didn’t have more important matters to attend to, I might’ve just had a reply to your hot-headed remarks...oh, dear Beta."
Rhett made sure his tone was laced with sarcasm at the word "Beta". Cause heavens knows Darius did not deserve that title. He was tired of tolerating his insults and insolence, but he decided to be patient. To play the fool.
If Beowulf and Darius wouldn’t perform their duties and stand up for the pack in desperate times like this, then so be it. That wouldn’t stop him from performing his duties as Gamma.
Darius’ cheeks flushed slightly in rage, as he took a step forward, looking for a fight. However, the Alpha’s words interrupted him.
"Rhett, enough of this." He shot a warning glare at Rhet as if it weren’t his sorry excuse for a Beta who’d been trying to make trouble. "If you have anything valuable to share, time is of the essence. We can’t let the vampires strike again while we’re still so vulnerable."
Rhett scoffed internally. He was impressed. Anyone who heard the Alpha just now would think that he truly cared about the wellbeing of the pack. His pack. But Rhett knew better.
Instead of bringing up his grudge against the Alpha for not showing up during and after the attack, Rhett decided to calm himself down.
"Of course." Rhett bowed slightly to Beowulf, completely ignoring Darius. "Please, follow me."
With that, the three men strutted towards Rhett’s office, getting salutes and greetings along the way. Rhett saw how excited some of the soldiers were about seeing the Beta and Alpha. He could sense that it made them feel almost at ease. Those poor men...
"Alpha, please have a seat." Rhett gestured for the Alpha to sit after the three men entered the office.
Rhett sat down immediately after the Alpha did, ignoring Darius’ existence once again, causing the Beta to scoff in annoyance.
