CHAPTER TWENTY

All Along the Watchtower

What a cluster fuck.

Rhys ground his teeth as the door closed behind Trystan.

His mate had defied him in front of others. It didn’t matter they were family. What mattered was the conversation should’ve taken place in private. He didn’t need anyone else knowing his mate didn’t respect him and didn’t trust his judgment. Didn’t trust him. Hadn’t they already taken care of this issue? He’d thought so, but apparently not.

It not only pissed him off, it cut deep. He’d done all he could to earn her trust. But instead of deferring to his experience, or at least saving the debate until they were behind closed doors, she’d confronted him in front of everyone. After she’d gone to Trystan for help instead of her mate. How could she go behind his back like that and plot against him?

A voice inside Rhys reminded him she’d been right earlier. Brianna had set a trap and they’d nearly died falling into it because he’d refused to listen to his mate. Had assumed she was making up an excuse so she could take out Brianna. That proved he didn’t fully trust her either. And he couldn’t ask of her what he wasn’t giving himself.

“Fuck!” He leapt to his feet, grabbed the old paper weight from the corner of his desk, and chunked it at the door. It barely dented the old oak before crashing to the floor in pieces.

How the hell did they get here? It wasn’t just his stubborn mate’s fault. He was as much to blame as she. Still, her betrayal was more than just a bruise to his ego. He accepted the fact she was as powerful as he. Maybe more. But she was inexperienced. And damn it, he couldn’t quell that protective urge. No matter how much power she had, how fierce of a warrior she was, she was his mate. He’d do all in his power to protect her. She’d just have to get used to it.

Rhys paced the office, pulling at his hair. However much he loved Kenna, he couldn’t let the disrespect stand. Couldn’t push aside the fingers of pain her mistrust dug into his heart.

Adrenaline raced hot and fast through his veins, needing an outlet. He forced his mind to something other than his out-of-control mate. As he searched his mental banks, he couldn’t think of anything that would calm him. So instead, Rhys decided to work on another problem.

Trystan’s strange behavior.

His Beta had always been strong willed, and questioned Rhys when he needed it. Lately, it’d gone way beyond that. The Alpha pair and the Beta should be plotting strategy together. They should be on the same page. Not so divided that battle lines were forming between them.

Rhys looked to the ceiling, as if it had answers. “Athair, what do I do here?”

He used to talk to his father often, as if he were still by his side, guiding him. But not so much since the war had kicked into gear. Maybe it would’ve helped keep him on track.
