His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Aiden POV

While Thalia was sleeping, she turned and reached for me. She kept moving closer to me and snuggling to me and damn it, she felt perfect. Her body is made to be against mine. She was practically on top of me and Leon was purring softly to keep her sleeping.

She looked peaceful in her sleep. There were certain times that her eyebrows furrowed but then relaxed. I wondered what she was dreaming about. I hope we will talk about it one day soon.

I chuckled when she cuddled closer to me. She looked like a kitten trying to fluff and snuggle her spot. She wakes up and even though she is a gorgeous tan, she still blushes and I swear I want to kiss her with how adorable she looks. She looked surprised at having a change of clothes. It’s bothering me that she is surprised at any nice gestures being done for her. She was the first born from what she told me. She is also the ‘princess’ of her family, but she is being treated like garbage.

After I showered and caught her staring, I smiled inwardly. I affect her. That’s good. I want her beside me. I am hoping I affect her enough that she will trust me. I remember everything Reid said though. I have to go at her pace. So, I got dressed and took her to meet my parents.

They mind linked me when they got to the hotel. ‘Mom, Dad, I ran into Thalia late last night. Something happened between her and her dad, and her face is still a little swollen and it’s bruised.

My father is the first one to respond. ‘Aiden, we won’t make her feel uncomfortable, but I did bring guards for her. They are going to be plain dressed. I figured you would want her protected.’

‘Thanks, dad. We will be down shortly.’ I said and closed the mind link.

Once we got downstairs, I spotted them and introduced Thalia to my folks. I see the scowl, but they don’t ask about it for now.

We go to the restaurant for breakfast and right after my parents sit down, I pull out a chair for Thalia. She blushes again. Seriously? How poorly has she been treated? I feel my blood starting to boil, but I reign it in. I have an overwhelming desire to protect her now.

“So, Thalia,” My mother began, “How old are you my dear?”

“I’m twenty-four, Mrs. Willis.” She said respectfully.

“Please, call me Rebel. You know you are only a year older than I was before I met my mate.” My mom smiled.

“Yeah, and Aiden is two years older than I was when I met Rebel.” My dad said.

“How did you meet? Is that okay to ask?” Thalia said.

“Ask anything you want.” I said whispering in her ear and I am rewarded with a blush.

Then my mom said, “My story is sad, Thalia I won’t bore you with all the details. But to make a long story short, I grew up, no better than a slave for a man I thought was my father. Well, he claimed I was his illegitimate daughter and then his mate and my ‘half-sister’ couldn’t stand me. One day, on my only day off, I met a man named Cullen.” I hear my dad growl. Clearly, he never liked Cullen, “Anyway, he was my first mate. He rejected me on the spot. Said I wasn’t beautiful enough to be his Luna.”

My dad wrapped his arms around my mom, “That fucker is better off dead.” He growled softly.

Thalia’s lips twitched. “Then how did you two end up together?”

“Well, two months after the rejection, which was extremely painful, I was running in the forest, letting my wolf out for a run. We ran way too far, and I met Austin. The moment we met, we knew we were fated to one another.”

Then my dad jumped in, “She was terrified, while I was happy as hell. She tried to run. I’m glad she didn’t though. That was over thirty years ago, and I still love this woman with everything in me.”
