His Plump Mate (Book 1: The 'His' Series) novel Chapter 387

Sinclair POV

I’ve been back for a couple of months now. I haven’t spoken much to Kaia since we returned. She said she is planning her exit and it’s going to be epic. I on the other hand have not been able to see my siblings or foster dad.

None of them ever have time for me and it makes me sad that even though, I grew up with them, they have always treated me like an outsider. I’ve stopped trying to reach out at this point and I don’t think I’m going to attempt again. Clearly, I’m not important to them and I never was.

I wish I could find my real family. I wonder if they just didn’t want me or if they wanted me but couldn’t take care of me. I see older women that look old enough to be my mother and think about what features I share with my mother and how much of my features are my father’s. Are they still together or did they split up? Are they married with new families and do I have half siblings. I also wonder if they ever think about me. What if they don’t think about me?

The adoption center closed down a long time ago. Records were stored away and then went up in flames when a fire broke out at the storage facility. I guess I was never meant to discover who I am or if I have a family out there that wants me around. Knowing my luck, my family is probably gone just like my adoption records are gone.

I tried to find out before, but I got nowhere. The moment the fire broke out, all records from the adoption agency were lost. It’s sad really. I’m not the only one affected. Hundreds of records were destroyed in the fire. Hundreds of orphans never having a chance. I guess I ended up better than some. I’m smart and I have been able to make a living for myself. I have at least two people I consider close friends, Kaia and Thalia.

Now that I am a wolf, I belong to a pack. Blackstone is really great too. Even though Kaia and I are different, we were treated like pack members. Once we transitioned and the became official pack members, everyone welcomed us. Plus, I have the added bonus of having my wolf. Mali is part of me and we are constantly talking. I don’t feel so lonely anymore.

‘Damn straight. You won’t be alone ever now. Just know that you have at least one person that will never leave you. ME!’ She said laughing in the mind link.

‘You are the best, Mali.’ I said.

‘Damn straight. Now tell me, what the hell are you working on?’ she asked.

‘These?’ I said holding up some computer parts, ‘These are just parts to a computer that I’m decommissioning. I need to make sure everything is wiped. I’m going to work on destroying some servers next. The days of being a hitman are over.’

‘Well, I could help. Let my claws out and I can tear everything to shreds.’ She said.

‘I’ve been meaning to ask you. I noticed we are a gray and white wolf. Is there any significance to it? Kaia’s wolf is brown. We were both turned by Isaiah, so I didn’t know if any of it was relevant.’

‘Nope. No relevance. We are who we are and the Moon Goddess pairs us based on our humans needs.’

‘What are my needs?’

‘Mainly, acceptance. Aside from that, only time we tell.’ She said.

‘Interesting.’ I said and I continued working on decommissioning the computer parts and let my thoughts drift to the family I’ve never known and never met. I wonder if I will meet them one day. Maybe the Moon Goddess will grant me that wish.

“It is my business. We need to make sure this alliance is secured. Without an heir he could divorce you and we will end up with nothing!” He yelled.

“You mean you will end up with nothing. You don’t give a shit about me or my reputation. You don’t even care if he treats me right, dad. All you care about is what you stand to gain from this marriage. MY marriage.” I shot back.

“Don’t you dare talk back to me, young lady! You grew up in privilege and had everything you wanted and more. Now it’s time for you to do your job for our family.” He barked.

“Oh, that’s right a room full of stuff and no friends to play with or a mother to help me learn how to do make up or celebrate with me when I got my period. Or how about the father who was never around and his way for taking responsibility was to add another object to a room full of stuff. I might as well have been an orphan!” I said.

“KAIA!” He screamed. Clearly, he has no response. When he yells my name loudly like that, it’s because he knows he has no argument left. We lived under the same roof, but both of my parents might as well have been strangers.

“Well dad, this has been a great conversation. But I have things to do now. Bye!” I said, singing the last part sarcastically and hung up before he said anything else.

I put my phone down on the kitchen counter. This house is mine. I bought it with my own money. My dad didn’t buy it for me. He said that my husband should provide the house for me. My name is on the deed and my husband and no problems moving in, but he is rarely around.

I sighed and looked around. It’s time to start my plan. Mission ‘Grand Exit’ is starting.
