His Plump Mate (Book 1: The 'His' Series) novel Chapter 693

Julian POV

Ronan and Candy walk into the office. They look content with each other. It leaves a sourness in my chest. I thought Sinclair and I would be that content. I thought we could move forward together. It was all a lie, though.

“You look like something has died in your mouth,” Ronan said.

“It feels that way,” I said seriously. “Sinclair is still alive. Angelo defected. They are both at Blackstone. I need that entire pack out of my way to get to Mia. Then I can continue with my plans to bring my kind into submission. I know you two want Sinclair. Help me with the upcoming battle, and she is yours.”

Candy chuckles. “I will gladly kill her.”

“I want Adrian,” Ronan added.

“I want everyone else,” I said.

“Done. What did you have in mind?” Candy said.

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Ronan. He shrugged. “She’s anxious to snap Sinclair’s neck.”

A pang hit my chest, but I pushed it down. It’ll pass. “Fine. I understand from Ronan that you already got through the pack borders undetected,” I said, looking at Candy.

“I did. I had a potion that Ronan provided. I used the methods he taught me to get through undetected.”

I looked at Ronan expectantly.

Ronan sighed, as if he were bored. “I don’t have enough masking potion for your pack, Julian. You’ll need to be strategic in how you infiltrate. I can show your scouts how to go in undetected, though.”

“What do you need to get enough masking potion, Ronan?” I asked.

“First, it’ll take a week to make the potion, after getting everything brewed. Second, for the amount of warriors you have, it’s going to cost upward of fifty thousand.”

Fifty thousand? I don’t have enough. I was thinking maybe twenty thousand. If I give the entire fifty thousand, then I won’t be left with anything else. I need to call in some favors. Elder Vorath owes me, and it’s time I call in the favor.

“I need to make some calls. I will get the money. In the meantime, I will give you twenty thousand to get started,” I said.

“Make whatever call you need to, Julian. See how much you can secure first. Then we come up with a plan based on the supply we will have,” Ronan said.

“Give me a couple of hours. You are welcome to stay here, or go have lunch or something.”

“We will be back this evening. That should be enough time for you to figure it out,” Candy said.

“Very good. Then I will talk to you both soon.”

They left my office, and I immediately started making calls. The first one was to Vorath. After two rings, he answered.

“Vorath speaking,” he said.

“It’s Julian. I need to call in the favor you owe me,” I said.
