Chapter 244: Mole in Our House (1/2)
Two days passed since Rex told Kyran about the truth.
These past few days Rex has been keeping an eye on Kyran, he also told Adhara to keep an eye on him because he can't look after Kyran twenty-four seven.
Because of that, Adhara also told Rosie about the problem.
She then also helped them to keep an eye on Kyran, change in a person can happen with a flick of a finger and that's why Kyran must be looked after no matter the cost.
Rex has already turned him into one of his packs, and he will be responsible for it.
The system once told him that the pack member can be commanded forcefully because he's the Alpha, but he won't do that to Kyran who will need to work this out himself.
That way, he will be truly free from the shackle of the truth.
Kyran has been mostly staying inside his room,
He didn't go out or even sneak out like he used to do, and every time Rex, Rosie, or even Adhara went inside his room Kyran can be seen sleeping under the blanket.
Aside from that, Edward came to their room yesterday at noon.
Edward's expression is no longer sickly, and his arm noticeably looks better.
After Rex takes out the mutated worm that Hans put inside Edward's arm, his condition becomes better and it can be seen clearly from his behavior.
Yesterday when Edward visited, Adhara suddenly pulls Rex to his room.
”Why are you pulling me?”, Rex asks in confusion.
He's talking with Edward and Rosie before, but Adhara suddenly excuses them and pulls Rex inside the room.
Rex then added, ”If this is about Rosie, I don't want to hear it”
”It's not about Rosie! It's about Edward!”, Adhara rebutted feeling annoyed by Rex's response.
She for some reason forbid Rex from getting too close with Rosie, and it's not Rex's fault that he suspected that this is about Rosie because of that.
”Then What is it? I need to tell Edward about tomorrow's plan”, Rex said impatiently.
Rex is still not decided yet whether to split the team or not, it will be faster to split the team but on the other hand, Rex also can use this opportunity to grind some exp.
It's been a while since he went out, and his exp is basically stagnant.
Adhara bit her lips in thought before she finally said, ”Now that Kyran already know about us being Werewolves, That left us with one person left”
Hearing this, Rex looks at Adhara in aghast.
”There's no way I'm telling him about us, zero chance”, Rex replied stubbornly.
Seeing that Rex becomes stubborn, Adhara becomes angry, ”He's your one and only friend from the military, you probably trust him more than me! He deserves to know!”
”You don't get it, it's not about trust”, Rex replied with a troubled look.
He then smacked his lips in displeasure and added, ”Forget about it, let's just pretend that we never talked about this”
After saying that, Rex wanted to leave but Adhara prevented him.
”Rex, he's YOUR friend. Out of all people, I can't picture Edward selling you off to the others even though he knows that you're a Werewolf”, Adhara said trying to convince Rex.
Feeling pressured once again, Rex leans on the door in thought.
He then said, ”You don't understand, I know he won't sell me out but I'm just afraid that he will be different if he knows about this”
”I won't tell him”, Rex finally said.
But just when he was about to leave the room,
”He won't be different, I'm sure he will understand your condition and accept it. Just tell him”, Adhara said one last time making Rex frown before he left the room.
After getting out of the room, Rex found Edward still waiting for him.
Edward smiles lightly towards Rex before he approached Rex and tugs, Rex, on his side with his elbow, ”Did Adhara offer for a little quickie? I must say that was quite fast”
Looking at Edward's joking expression, Rex felt troubled for a moment.
”Shut up dude”, Rex said but then, Adhara came out of the room.
She smiles at Edward before giving the look to Rex as if she's saying, 'Tell him!', that makes Rex gulp harshly.
Edward saw Adhara's look before he said, ”Are you two fighting or something?”
While Edward is asking Rex about what that look means, Rex was put in a daze as his breathing becomes heavy.
'Should I tell him? I can't...', Rex thought.
”Hello? Rex? Why are you daydreaming in the middle of the day for”, Edward asks with a slight chuckle making Rex snap out of his daze.
Rex then glances at Edward with a troubled look.
Seeing this, Edward looks at Rex weirdly and asks, ”Do you have something to say to me?”
”I-I...”, Rex stutters for the first time.
In front of Edward with a confused expression who doesn't know about what he's struggling to say, Rex finds his throat suddenly went dry.
Looking at Rex stutters, Edward frown.
With how much time they spent together as a friend, Edward never saw Rex stutters even once.
Rex never gets nervous in Edward's perception, he knows that Rex almost never becomes nervous because he simply doesn't care.
But seeing Rex stutters, in front of him nevertheless is a weird sight.
Then finally, Rex said, ”I want to talk to you about tomorrow's plan, Will your condition be fine? You can just skip this if you're not in your peak condition”
Hearing this, Edward laughs lightly.
Tap!
He tap Rex's back before he said, ”You're going to say that? No worries, I can come”
Rex then nodded his head before finally, Edward excused himself to rest because he will need as much Rex as he can for tomorrow.
But after Edward passes Adhara who is sitting on the sofa beside the entrance while listening to their conversation, Adhara looks at Rex with the same look she gave before.
This makes Rex smile wryly, he can't bring himself to confess to Edward.
