His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Austin POV

When I was unconscious, Cronos kept trying to get me to open my eyes. My body wouldn’t fucking cooperate though.

‘Austin! Our mates are pregnant. We need to keep them safe. You need to open your eyes!’

That was what I needed to hear. My mate is pregnant and needs me. ‘Help me push through this fog, Cronos.’

As he helps to lift me out of the darkness, I hear Reid ask how I’m doing. Honestly, I feel like I have been hit by a freight train and when I respond, I heard my mate. When she said my name and rushed over to me, my eyes were barely opened. She looked down at me, and I swear I saw a halo surrounding her. She looked like an angel.

After a brief update on everything that happened after I fell unconscious, a tightness in my chest that I hadn’t realized was there finally loosened. Morgana is in prison. I would rather she die, but either way, she is no longer a threat. There are no more threats. After everything, Kaden, Harris with his shit family, Cullen, Morgana, hell even Ceraline, all the threats are gone. My mate is safe. Our pups are safe. Now I just need to get better to get the hell out of here and take Rebel home so we can continue building our home together.

That’s when Dr. Moreno walked in. At first, my instinct is to go on the defense. My mate is pregnant, and this guy is unknown to me and if I’m being honest, there is a dangerous look to him.

Rebel and Adele shut me down though and made me realize this is the doctor that saved my life. When I heard that, I relaxed a little. Not too much though. This guy seems to be overly attentive to my mate and it’s making me jealous. I know I should be grateful, and I am, but she’s mine.

After the doctor told me I will be released when I can take deep breaths and ensuring my mate would have lunch, he left. Reid and Adele left shortly after the doctor. It was just Rebel and me. That’s the way I need it to be right now. If I’m being honest, I just want to bury myself in her for the next few days and only come up to make sure

she eats.

Then she starts teasing me like the little minx she is as she walks into the shower, door wide open. Knowing I’m watching her. I wish I didn’t feel so damn weak right now. When I am recovered, yeah, she isn’t leaving our room for a couple of days at least. We have a lot to celebrate, and I intend to celebrate thoroughly with her. The thought puts a smile on my face.

After a couple of hours, we are moved out of the ICU and put into a regular room. Just as we finish getting situated, Dr. Moreno comes in, “Well, Alpha, how are you feeling now?”

“I still feel a little weak, but I feel my strength coming back. I feel like I can breathe better too.” I say as I look at Rebel. She is looking at me and smiling.

“If you both will excuse me, I am going to step out for a few minutes. I want to check on our sons, Austin.”

“Okay, darling. You know where I’ll be.” I said with a smirk.

After she left, Dr. Moreno grabbed his stethoscope. “Okay, let’s take a couple of deep breaths.”

After the examination, Dr. Moreno looks at my vitals on the monitors. “You are improving quickly. I chalk that up to you being an Alpha. You are likely to grow stronger, faster than a lower rank wolf. However, there is still wheezing in your lungs. I will come back in a couple of hours to check on you again. If your lungs sound clear,

then I will be able to discharge you.”

“Thanks, doc.” I said.

“No need to thank me, Alpha. Besides, your Luna has been thanking me non-stop. She is a sweet woman.” He said smiling

“She’s also my woman.” I said. He better not try to get any ideas.

“I’m fully aware, Alpha. I don’t mean any disrespect. Your Luna reminds me of my late mate. She passed away three years ago. I’m not trying to take her from you. I just appreciate the love she has for you. I once had that kind of love too.” He said. It was at that moment when I saw the sadness and pain in his eyes. He’s telling the truth. Suddenly, I feel like a massive dick.

“I’m sorry, doc. Over the last year, I have had to save my mate from several people trying to take her from me. She is strong and capable on her own, but every time she was taken, she was abused. I’m very protective of her. I didn’t mean to come off as a dick.”

Dr. Moreno laughs, “Alpha, no need for apologies. I understand your position and your rank makes you possessive. I respect mate bonds, because I know their power. I’m not your enemy, just your doctor.”

As soon as he finished saying that Rebel walks back in. She’s been crying again.

“What’s wrong, darling?”

“Nothing Pregnancy hormones. Lacey is pregnant again and apparently so is Jane. I’m crying over it. Plus, the boys are fine. Mary said they have been little angels. I miss everyone.”

I smile at her and reach my hand for her as she comes to stand by me. Dr. Moreno, however, brings her a chair to

sit down.

“How is my mate, doctor?” She asked expectantly.

“He is doing better than expected Luna. I’m going to come back in a couple of hours. He may be recovered enough to go back home tonight.”

My mate burst into happy tears, again. I shake my head and squeeze her hand. I have a feeling this pregnancy will be as funny as the last one. I smile, thinking about how adorable she is when she is griping.

“Right, well I will leave you guys and be back in a couple of hours. I will make sure dinner is served promptly to the both of you. Expect it right when the kitchen opens.” Then he walked out of the room.

“He’s a good doctor.” Rebel said.

“Yeah, he’s not so bad. Though I hate being in the hospital.”

“Now you know how I felt, every time I have been in one.” She chuckled.

“Yeah, well, right now, I’d really like to be buried inside you, in our bed, at home.” I growled lowly. Her scent is still strong to me. I still want to pin her to the wall and take her.
