His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Austin POV

I know Rebel didn’t want me leaving by myself. I just can’t sit here and wait for the threat though. I need to bring that bitch Morgana down. I’m thankful the Central Council and Reid are helping us. I really hope that Liora will be on our side too.

I arrived with four of my guards to the Central Council. Reid is outside waiting for me with his own guard. Austin, glad you made it. How are the boys?”

“Thanks Reid. The boys were sleeping like pups. Rebel is nervous though. She has been through enough. I am determined to stop Morgana.” I said.

“I understand. I don’t know why she brought this to your doorstep instead of just taking it out on me.” Reid said sadly. Clearly, he still feels at fault for everything.

“Let’s talk about that later. We need to meet Stefan and Liora. I hope she will help us.”

We walk into the Central Council office and it’s impressive. There is almost a regal feel to the set up. Large columns on either side of the entrance walls and marble flooring. The furniture looks like it should be in a magazine with how crisp everything looks.

As we make our way to a set of double doors, there is a plaque above it that says ‘Council Offices’ and outside the door is a lady behind a desk. She looks very business and very annoyed at us. “Name?” she says eyeing us both suspiciously.

“Alpha Austin of Blackstone and Alpha Reid of Rising Moon. We are here to see Councilman Stefan. We have an appointment.” I say diplomatically.

“Okay, go through the double doors, his office is the last one on the left. He’s expecting you.” She said and returned to typing on her computer without a second glance.

Reid and I look at each other and shrug our shoulders. We walk through the double doors and make our way to Stefan’s office. I knock twice and hear we are invited to come in. As we walk through the door we see Stefan seated behind a grand dark cherry wood desk. Behind him is a large window, with matching bookshelves flanking each side. There are two comfortable looking guest chairs in front of the desk and a couch where a petite woman sits. Her hair is fire red with some black streaks in random places. Her eyes are a very light, almost pale green and her skin looks almost translucent. She must be Liora.

“Stefan, Liora I presume?” I say, outstretching my hand to greet them. Stefan takes my hand first and I note, the crinkling in the corner of his eyes. He can’t be more than mid-fifties. He has salt and pepper hair and is probably an inche or two shorter than me.

As I shake their hands, I note that Liora is still staring at me. It is unnerving. I don’t know what to expect with a witch, but I am trying to stay level headed and positive. We all take a seat and Stefan starts recounting to Liora the details that Reid and I provided him with previously.

Liora looks at me, “Tell me, why does Morgana want your mate, Alpha Austin? Where does she fit into all of this?”

I take a deep breath and sigh loudly as I begin to explain, “Liora, my mate only just met her grandparents this

year. Before that, she was raised like a slave by her uncle, who was posing as her father. My mate believed she had no other family until we discovered the truth. Her uncle was in love with her mother, Reid’s late daughter. He was also jealous of her real father and killed him as well. She has nothing to do with the feud between Morgana and Alpha Reid. However, we believe the reason she is coming after my mate, is because, we think, she wants the Rising Moon blood line to cease to exist, while making Alpha Reid suffer in the process before killing Reid.”
