(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Ways to convince you

Kellen burst into his Dad’s room to find his Dad holding onto his Mom’s arm, and Casper trying to calm her down from the other side. The newer Guide was tucked into the corner in a chair, watching everything with rather large eyes while a few Espers lingered in the room, obviously having been told to remain back.

"Don’t even think about it." Kellen barked as he stepped into the room. His Mom’s eyes were glowing bright purple as she snapped her head towards him.

"You do not get to order me around like that." She responded back, and Kellen knew that whoever he was talking to, wasn’t fully his Mom. He wasn’t upset. At least, not about that. His Mom was overwhelmed, overtired, probably hadn’t been guided properly, and had just found out that her husband not only had been targeted, but would continue to be targeted until he was dead

Kellen wondered only briefly how Rhys was doing, before shaking himself and glaring at his Mother.

"Yes I do if I think you’re going to attempt to do something so incredibly stupid even my trainee Field Guides wouldn’t do it." Her jaw clenched and Kellen glanced at his Dad. He was pale, shocked, but his grey eyes were determined. "Are you really going to leave Dad behind to go enact some kind of revenge? Really? Sure, he can live without you, but not for long. Are you going to make what that fucker just said a self-fulfilling prophecy?" He demanded and his Mom looked away from him.

She was pissed. She was angry. Hell, they all were, but Kellen wasn’t letting his feelings cloud his judgement as much as she was.

"You don’t know-"

"Don’t you even dare say that right now." Kellen’s voice held a thin edge to it and she shut her mouth. "You’re lucky I’m not getting mad at you for being reckless with your life as your son, and only for Dad right now." She flinched and Kellen was sure his eyes were glowing in his face as well. He couldn’t help it. He watched as his Dad’s eyes shifted to blue as well.

Hell, everyone who could had glowing eyes right now.

It was a tense time.

The door slammed against the wall behind him and Kellen sidestepped/had Rhys pull him to the side as Gwen stormed into the room. She was in her training uniform, sweat pooling on her forehead as she quickly glanced around the room before pointing a finger at her Mom. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"No!" She declared and Kellen burst out laughing.

"I’m glad to see we are of the same mind." He joked as she turned her own purple gaze towards her brother. She was short of breath, her body slightly trembling as she looked over Kellen completely. He was in his normal Guide uniform today and she swallowed.

"No to you too." She said and Kellen smirked.

"I’m not going to do something so foolish." Her eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms.

"But you are going to do something foolish. I can feel it." She told him. Kellen opened his mouth to complain that it wasn’t a fair thing to say, but Rhys spoke over his shoulder.

"He’s holding a press conference." He told the room and received mixed reviews from the words. Gwen groaned, along with his Dad, while Casper nodded and Kellen’s Mom’s behaviour didn’t change.

"Are you dumb? That’s exactly what they want!" Gwen protested. Kellen turned his glare towards his pair who shrugged and looked away. Clearly, Rhys didn’t agree with Kellen’s actions on a personal level, but was allowing him to do so on a Captain’s level. It was sweet, until he threw him to the wolves.

"I had just hammered out the details before he did this." Kellen soothed. His Dad looked stricken on the bed.

"They are going to shoot you. You know that they are going to aim for you." Kellen nodded.

"And I’m going to have people to protect me. Do you think I would go in without any planning? Do you think he would allow me to do it without any protection? I’m going to be wearing bullet proof vests, I’ll have Espers who can create shields, everything. I’m not going to go in without care, and I also need to do this. Unlike what Mom is planning, we need to show that we are not shaken." Kellen told them, and his Dad frowned.
