His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Thalia POV

I’m trembling inside. I hate crying and I can’t help it. Aiden must be horrified about my past. His eyes have been darkened the entire time I’ve been explaining. He said he doesn’t care about having a pup, but that seems really hard to believe. Did he really plan to leave everything to Isaiah?

“Thalia, I know this is a hard conversation for you, but I have a question.” Aiden said, breaking me out of my thoughts and shame.

“I don’t know how much I can answer for you, but I’ll try.” I said, my voice somber.

“Where was your mother when all this was happening?” He asked.

“The first time, my father said I had been taken. He convinced my mother, I was kidnapped. Then he threatened me not to say anything, or Mia would pay the price. My father always knew I loved my little sister. He used her to make me comply. The second time, my father told my mother I wasn’t feeling good and he took me to my room and told me to stay in my room. He gave me some aspirin and had dinner sent up for me. He also had me take contraception pills, so I wouldn’t get pregnant.” I said.

Then

my tio asked me a question, “When did he stop physically abusing you?”

“By the time I was eighteen, he stopped. I think he wanted to continue, because I didn’t get my wolf, but I threatened him with the pictures and videos I had of him abusing me and he coward away. When he found out it was a bluff, he had lost interest and didn’t start up again.” I said. “His next move was to force me to marry Armando Reyes.”

“Don Arnaldo’s son? That asshole?” Tio said.

“The very one.” I said. “Papa and Don Arnaldo made the arrangements and didn’t even ask me. I was ordered to marry him. When I said I wouldn’t marry him, he tried to force the engagement by making an announcement at ‘El Rincon’ after I performed there. That’s when I met Aiden.” I replied.

“Why did you never kick his ass?” Aiden asked. “I mean, clearly, you are a killer and a damn good one.”

“I wanted to. Goddess knows, I wanted to. But if I did that, everything would have passed to my brother Rodrigo. Not only is he an idiot, but he hates me. He would have sent people after me. I would have had a target on my back sooner than I was ready to handle. Plus, my sister would have been subjected to his cruelty. So, I put up

with my father and brother to shield Mia from them both. I tried protecting my mother too, but I never knew when my father was abusing her.” I said, looking down again.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Tio said, “Your father is hurting Blanca too?”

“Yeah. I would wake up in the mornings, and she would have a busted lip or a black eye.” I said, “It’s happened several times, throughout the years. After I turned eighteen, they started sleeping in different rooms and I don’t know the reason behind it.”

Aiden is visibly shaking. “I’m sorry. Leon is trying to come through. I need to go. I will be back.” He said, his eyes turning a golden color.

“Aiden, go let Leon run off his anger. I will take Thalia to the pack house.” Tio said.

He just nodded and ran out of the room. I turned to my Tio, “Mia doesn’t know about half of the things that has happened to me, Tio. Please do not tell her.”

“I won’t mija.” He said, “Why did you think you needed to leave?”

“Canary and Sin, two of my colleagues are here, Tio. They give Papa and Armando two months tops to find Mia and me. I wanted to leave to throw Mia’s scent away from this pack and everyone here. I was trying to protect everyone. They are coming after me, and I don’t want to risk this pack of my family or the man I love because of me. I’m not worth that much. I’m damaged and broken, Tio.”

My Tio looked at me with his eyes softened. This pack is strong Thalia. The one thing I can say with absolute certainty, you are safer here than on your own. First, Aiden is a ruthless Alpha, and he has fought many battles. His wolf Leon is as deadly a wolf as his father Cronos, Austin’s wolf. Second, he has an army of warriors at his disposal, and they will willingly give up their lives to protect their Alpha and their Luna. You are their Luna, Thalia. You are no longer alone. You don’t just have a family by blood here; you have an entire community.” He said. “I know with your past, you have a very hard time trusting people, and I don’t blame you after everything you told us tonight; but you need to trust us to protect you.”

“I don’t know how to trust. How do I trust anyone, when the biggest betrayal happened in my own home, by my own father?” I said. “I don’t even know why he subjected me to these things. I don’t know why he hates me.” I finished with my voice cracking.

I don’t understand. I don’t know if I did something to make him hate me. I don’t know if he hates me because I’m the first born and he had a daughter instead of a son. I thought parents were supposed to love their kids. My father proved that not all
