His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374

Rebel POV

I look at Blanca and I can see the hurt in her eyes everything she said was the truth. She never cheated on Diego and Thalia really is his daughter. He really did cage Blanca and prevented her from having freedom. Everything he did was to have control.

“Mom?” Aiden looked at me curiously.

As a mother I understand Blanca. I would never allow anything to happen to my kids. I don’t care if they are grown adults now. They are mine

“Blanca is telling the truth Aiden.” I said, calmly

that

He looks at Thalia who is looking at me curiously. “My mom is a human lie detector. Another gift. She knows when someone is lying and what they are lying about. If my mom says your mom is telling the truth, then she is,”

Blanca looks at me, “Is this entire family Moon Blessed?”

“Yes. We are. She favors us and we are happy she does.” I said. With that, Blanca looks down and her eyes water. I’m not sure why she is sad about my comment, but she is.

Thalia speaks up, “Mom, you are special. Don’t feel bad. All three of your kids love you. The Moon Goddess didn’t abandon you. You’re here and safe now, right?”

“Blanca, perhaps you would like to help me with menu? I’m setting up a transition party. Two of Thalia’s friends are turning. I could use your help. Thalia says you are an excellent cook as well.” I said, trying to encourage her and giving her a place to feel special and important. From what Thalia just said, it sounds like she read Blanca’s thoughts. She must feel like the Moon Goddess forgot her.

Blanca smiled gently, “Of course, I will help you.

My heart breaks for this woman. Thalia is strong and has endured so much, but her mother has endured a lot too. She didn’t have someone like Aiden to save her. Diego was supposed to be her hero and he ended up being the devil instead.

I nod and smile gently. Then I turn my attention to Thalia. “Thalía I wanted to ask you about something.”

“Sure, mom. What is it?”

“Are you sure you are not an Alpha? You are the granddaughter of an Alpha. Your mother is the daughter of an Alpha. Do you really not feel any of that energy?” I asked.

Aiden looks at his mate as well. “I’ve been questioning the same thing. But honestly, I haven’t caught Alpha energy. Alpha like qualities, yes, but not energy.”

At that moment, Damaro and Valeno walk up. “She is not an alpha, but the qualities she has

comes from you Aiden. Absorbing people’s gifts is not the only thing that Nyx can absorbs qualities from her mate. Rapid healing and strength are Alpha like qualities powerful.”

In my never ending quest for knowledge I start asking questions, “How powerful is Nyx? Is there anything that can hurt her?”

“Considering she absorbed your gift of being silver resistant, not much. Henbane won’t kill her, but wolfsbane can debilitate her temporarily. Basically, aside from a physical attack, assuming someone could attack her, Nyx is pretty well covered.” Valeno said. “But she isn’t an Alpha, unfortunately.”

“I’m already so blessed, I don’t need an Alpha title. I already have the Luna title anyway.” Thalia said and there is a hint of relief in her tone Clearly, she is overwhelmed by everything.

‘Aiden, did you catch her tone?’ I mind linked him.

‘No. What did you catch?’

‘She’s overwhelmed. That poor girl seems to have a lot on her shoulders. Now hearing that she is the only one who can end a war that no one knew was coming; it makes sense that she is feeling the incoming pressure. Couple that with her father, her emotions must be all over the place. Make sure you talk to her tonight.’ I said.

‘You’re right. I hadn’t even thought about all of that. She must be feeling overwhelmed and that can’t be good for our daughters either. I’ll talk to her tonight.’ He said.

After dinner, we all go our own separate ways and I tell Blanca that I will talk to her in the morning to start setting up the menu. Her eyes look distant but she agrees. I don’t know why it makes me feel uneasy about the look in her eyes, but it does. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully it will be a better day for her.

Aiden POV

I’m talking to Thalia about how she is feeling with everything. I’m not used to talking about my own feelings. I’m more of a ‘man of action’ kind of guy. I like to resolve issues, not let them linger. But I remember Rory told me a long time ago that women don’t always need a man to fix a problem, sometimes women just need to be heard. So hear I am, trying to hear and not fix a problem.
