Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: _ All I Ever Wanted

The world seemed to dissolve after Kylo left. I was a ball of tears and heartbreak. I slumped to the floor beside my bed and allowed the sobs to consume me.

Kylo had just broken up with me.

It wasn’t just that, but my fear.

Fear of drifting somewhere else. To someone else. Someone I shouldn’t be with.

My door creaked open slightly, and Liam’s soft voice inquired, "Mum? Are you alright?"

Oh, Liam, I was far from being alright.

The mere sound of his concern only intensified my anguish. I couldn’t face him, couldn’t explain that Kylo had left my heart shattered into pieces.

Crying my eyes out until they were puffy and heavy, I drifted off to sleep.

And with sleep came dreams, or perhaps nightmares. Gamma Rhett’s name slipped from my lips occasionally, subconsciously.

"Rhett."

"Oh, Rhett."

I was having a dream. In this dream, he was touching me and I did let him. I allowed myself to feel all the pleasure. I allowed myself to touch him back– to love him.

Hours passed and I was still basking in the glory of this pleasant dream. This dream that would become for me a nightmare when I awakened.

And then, a subtle scent began to stir me from my slumber. A scent that was to me more than a scent.

It was his scent - rich, earthy, and spiced with the intoxicating essence of power.

Gamma Rhett!

On a whim, I was propelled from my bed as if by an unseen force. It was a desperate, instinctual urge to find the source of this scent. My mind was still muddled with sleep and it raced back to the memory of our promise - the promise of meeting in the darkness. We said we’d meet tonight.

I was going to reject him. I would reject him.

But then, his son had just dumped me. Would I ever grow the balls to dump the father? I wouldn’t know unless I tried.

And that’s what I was going to do. I’d try.

I stumbled over to my window and peeked out into the night. The scent was heavier there. I was right.

There he stood, bathed in the glow of the moon. The grace of his presence is undeniable. He seemed like a trophy in my eyes. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

My Wolf was happy. Her mate was here to meet us in the dark.

Worry washed over me. Had I kept him waiting?

A whole Gamma Rhett was standing outside the window, waiting for me?

The ache within me was too great to bear. I used the fact that I didn’t want to keep him waiting out of respect to race out of my room.

I found Liam and Cullen sprawled on the living room floor, engrossed in a video game.

"Liam, you should be asleep!" I chided gently, the image of his worried brow from earlier still vivid in my mind. "You have school in the morning."

Liam’s gaze shifted from the screen to me, confusion clouding his expression. "You think there’ll be school after what happened today, Mum?"

Why?

Why did I have to feel this way? I came here to end things with this man for good, for heaven’s sake!

And thus, I stood there, rooted to the spot and staring unwaveringly at him as he did me. One thing I was vividly aware of was the undeniable pull towards the man before me.

I was about to reject him. To send him away. I’d lose him before he became mine.

Remembering Kylo’s final words, a sob broke free from my throat. I couldn’t control it. I had no one.

No one else.

Kylo was going to leave me too.

Fueled by a desperate ache that I couldn’t quite place, I ran through the distance, stunning even myself but Gamma Rhett more.

I knew he was shocked by my sudden action with the way he released his hands from his pocket. I guess we were both clueless. I also didn’t know what I was doing.

What I did know was that I threw myself into Gamma Rhett’s hands. He wasn’t ready but he caught me, confusion and something akin to tenderness mingling in his gaze.

That able man!

I clung to him, letting the tears flow freely, my body trembling with the intensity of my emotions. All I wanted– and needed was just someone I could always turn to. A shoulder to cry on.

I didn’t know why all of this was happening to me but I knew I didn’t deserve them.
