His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Thalia POV

What the fuck is my father thinking? If he thinks making an announcement is going to make me agree to marrying this fuck boy, he is out of his damn mind. I won’t be taken advantage of again in my life. Not by my dad

or anyone.

Just as I’m about to announce that no proposal has been made and call my father out for his bullshit in front of this crowd, I hear someone snarl, “MINE!”

I see a tall, gorgeous man walk towards us. Black hair and the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. Walking with him is another man that looks just like him but has light brown hair and green eyes. The resemblance and differences are working against each other in my brain. They are both good looking men.

As he approaches us, I start catching a scent of black cedar wood and leather. It smells manly and rustic, and cozy. The kind of scent I would want wrapped around me. It feels like home. It’s strange, but it’s true. It’s the first word I thought of as soon as it hit me.

I don’t know what that means, but I’m attracted to his smell. Maybe it’s the cologne he is wearing. It smells delicious.

As he gets closer, I can see the anger in his eyes and the other man is trying to keep him from exploding in front of the crowd. Somehow, I feel like I will be able to calm him, so I step towards him.

“Hello.” I said quietly.

He grabs me gently and looks at me intensely with those piercing blue eyes. “Mate.” He whispered, “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for you.

})

Mate? This gorgeous man is my mate? Well, hell. I didn’t see that coming. Between the intensity behind his eyes and hearing him say he has been waiting for me for a long time, I forgot everyone and everything around me. His voice sounds southern and velvety. He definitely isn’t from around here. I see the man beside him smiling. It looks like a loving smile. I don’t understand their relationship, but I don’t have time to worry about that at the

moment.

“Thalia, your fiancé is on this stage. Get up here.” My father whispers harshly to me.

I decided to throw dear old dad a curve ball. “Papa, I have no fiancé. But I do have a mate.” I smirked. I hear an approving growl softly behind me.

“I don’t approve of this man. I’ve never met him or heard of him before. I approved Armando for you.”

“I didn’t ask for your permission papa. I told you; I’m not marrying Armando.”

Then Armando turned red. “THALIA, GET UP HERE NOW! STOP EMBARRASSING THE FAMILIES!”

Before I could react, Mr. Black Hair and Blue Eyes had Armando by the neck. “I dare you to raise your voice at her again.” He snarled.

“Aiden.” His companion said gently, “Reign it in.”

Aiden. That’s different. I don’t think I’ve ever met an Aiden before. The name suits him. I need to break this up. I

see Armando turning a light shade of purple. I get on stage, “Aiden.” I say gently, “Let him go, please.”

Aiden whips his head to me and tosses Armando to the side like a rag doll. I see him start gasping for air while the color in his face goes back to normal. Aiden grabs me and puts his nose to my neck and I stiffen. He’s inhaling. Like he is smelling me. Weird. Is this normal in wolf culture?

“You’re beautiful.” He whispered.

“ENOUGH!” My father snarled and yanked me away from Aiden. The sudden loss of his embrace gives me an instant sadness that I don’t understand. “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?”

“Let’s take this off the stage.” I suggest.

My father starts dragging me away and Aiden looks ready to shred my father into pieces.. I personally wouldn’t mind if he did, but I don’t want him to go to jail over it either. Once again, his companion is trying to calm him down. Once he does, we all walk to a nearby office. I noticed Armando is close by. My father, however, stops him. “Armando, allow me a few minutes before I call you in, please.”
