Chapter 228: Pestering His Life
Kylo

It took a long fight, but they were able to hold on against the vampires until Aceco’s timely arrival.
The fairy healer had always mesmerized him. The way she could always carry herself with this air of serenity and calm made him feel... oddly at peace. He couldn’t imagine anyone blaming the fey for their misfortunes. They were so close to actual divinity in his eyes.
When Cullen came back to the tent, he scolded him intensely but decided to keep it cool when he answered him like he’d always done. Nonchalantly.
When they were all summoned by Aceco to gather at the camp’s square, he felt an odd mix of emotions.
He’d gone out to search for Cullen during the chaos and had stumbled on his father struggling to fend off a vampire who’d seemingly caught him off guard. When he killed the creature with a gun, his father didn’t even acknowledge his help.
A simple ’thank you’ would have sufficed, but no. Gamma Rhett would always be Gamma Rhett.
Kylo shook his head, grunting to himself. He was used to his father’s lack of emotions toward him. And he honestly didn’t care anymore.
At first, he’d thought that the man blamed him for his mother’s death, but then again, his mother had been an old woman and her death had probably been a relief to his then-teenage father.
Argh! Why was he bothering himself about his father’s past now?
