His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Austin POV

I go to my office to meet with Renz and Jessup. If this bitch is able to invade my mate’s mind, then she is more dangerous than I thought and I need to be pre-emptive instead of reactive. Everyone has been getting to Rebel and hurting her. I cannot wait until the threat is at our door. Then only thing to do is bring the fight to Morgana.

I enter my office and Renz and Jessup are already there waiting. “Do we have leads on Morgana and her whereabouts?”

“Every lead turns up empty, Alpha. We are still searching though. Tell us what happened.” Renz says and I can see anger in his eyes and Jessup’s too.

“I only want to explain what happened once, so I am calling Reid. He needs to know and I need his help. I may ask if Elias can get the Central Council’s involvement too.” I respond.

I grab my phone and dial Reid first. After two rings, Reid answers, “Austin! How are you?”

“Furious Reid. Morgana has threatened my family and I’m not waiting for her to make the first move. I’m bringing the fight to her instead.”

“What do you mean she threatened your family? What happened?”

“She invaded Rebel’s mind and said she is coming for her and our boys. She said she isn’t done with the Rising Moon blood line. What happened between you and Morgana, Reid. I need to know what I’m dealing with.”

“Damn it. I knew at some point this would happen, but I thought she would bring it to me, not use my granddaughter and my daughter. Rebel like Sydney is innocent in all of this and so are my great grandsons.” He begins, “My history with Morgana goes way back to before meeting Adele. She and I were good friends and she was a loyal member of my pack. Years of working together in keeping the pack safe, lead to our relationship evolving. I cared for her a great deal and I was courting her when I met Adele. My mate was born and raised in Rising Moon but our paths never crossed until she took a job as a cook in the pack house for an event. I fell in love with Adele instantly and I tried to let Morgana down easy. I didn’t want to hurt her; I cared for her after all. But, she apparently felt betrayed. She conjured up and idea to remove Adele from my life. Wanting me to believe that she was cheating on me with another man. She created an illusion and was working on it in secret. My beta at the time happened to stumble upon her plan and came to alert me immediately. From that point on, I kept Adele by myself until Morgana could put her plan into action. When she did, I was enraged that she would actually follow through with her plan. I walked in with Adele, hand in hand, and demanded to know why she would do this to me. In my mind, I didn’t mistreat her, I let her down easy, and I still treated her kindly after the fact. She looked at it as if though I abandoned her and betrayed her. She thought she would become my Luna and rule Rising Moon by my side. She said she was in love with me and I broke her heart. I never made promises to her. We only courted for three months. It never occurred to me that she would be plotting revenge for decades and using my own daughter, granddaughter and great grandsons. I feel like I brought all of this on you and your family Austin. I’m so sorry.”

I hear the despair in his voice. It is a helpless feeling I understand as well. I felt like that with Kaden and Cullen. I don’t want to have that feeling again with Morgana. It may be worse with her. She managed to successfully carry out her plan with Rebel’s mother and it sends a jolt of fear down my spine.

“Reid, do not feel guilty. Instead, help me by putting that energy into finding out where Morgana is and what her plan is. I want to bring the fight to her. I don’t know how to do that if I don’t know how to fight her or locate

her. Do you know anything about where she could be?” I ask.

I look up and see Renz and Jessup looking at me and each other. Clearly, they are worried about their mates too. It’s true, Lacey is almost due and Jessup will follow soon after. They could get caught in the crosshairs, unintentionally.

“Austin, I have been searching here on my end too, but I have come up empty. As far as defeating Morgana, that is going to be hard. We need a witch willing to work with us, in order to take down Morgana. I’m not sure who would be a friendly to our kind. Witches in general do not trust us and if Morgana is able to persuade any alliances we make with a witch, I’m pretty sure our alliance will flip to her side.”

Fuck me. I just need an idea of how to get close enough to her to take her down. This is not going to be easy. I’m outside of my element and knowledge, dealing with a witch.

Reid continued speaking, “We could see if the Central Council has any alliances with the witches or at least a witch. Maybe they can help us. I can call them and three way call you in to discuss further. Can you give me half an hour?”

“That would be a great help, Reid. Thank you.

“Don’t thank me. I feel responsible for this and I don’t want anything happening to Rebel and the boys either.” He said solemnly.

We end the call and I sit back looking at Renz and Jessup. I silently pray to the Moon Goddess to protect my mate and pups. I hope the Central Council will be able to help.
