His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

“I don’t think Alpha Cullen knew, Austin. I was a ghost in that pack.” I said.

“Either way, I wanted to make sure. When the scout got there, he said your family’s home was abandoned. Everything was still in its place, but it was deserted. He didn’t find anyone. He did find a picture of a woman though, and I will talk to you about that in a minute, but since he didn’t see anyone, he was going to make his way back. However, he came across one of the omegas that worked in your family’s house. She said the night Cullen was supposed to have dinner, he could smell your scent and he went crazy. When you didn’t return at midnight, he ended up throwing your father, stepmother and half-sister in the dungeon.” He explains.

“So, my father and his family are in the dungeons right now?” I asked, shocked at this revelation.

“As far as I know Rebel. However, that isn’t the reason to not go back. The omega said she overheard Cullen tell his beta to find you and bring you back. He thinks showing you that he is your savior will make you submit to his will. He wants to make you his mistress and keep you hidden away for his pleasure, while having someone else be his Luna.” He says, his eyes darkening with anger.

“WHAT?” I ask my eyes feel like they are going to pop out of my head. “He wanted me to go from an unwanted house slave to his hidden sex slave?” Now I’m getting angry and so is Roxie. I feel her trying to get out.

“Darling, you are mine. Marked and mated by me. I will not let anyone get to you. But I hope you understand why you can’t go to Ironclaw now. I can’t risk something happening to you.” Austin says, while holding me a little tighter, like I might slip from his grip.

I turn my body to see my mark on his next. It’s a sexy sight, but I want to calm him, so I kiss my mark, and I feel him shiver and calm. “I’m yours, Austin. Cullen can want ine, but he won’t have me.” I say confidently to my mate. “You mentioned a woman’s picture. Tell me about that please.” I say nuzzling my nose into my mate’s neck and inhaling my peace and home in him.

He growls at what I’m doing but controls himself, “The scout found a picture of a woman. It was an old picture. If it wasn’t so old, I would have thought the woman I was looking at was you. The resemblance is uncanny Rebel.” He begins, “The back of the picture had a dedication to your father. The signature was signed ‘Sydney’. But there was nothing else. I suspect that could have been your mother, but I wasn’t sure. I asked Renz to investigate it. Now that we know about your mother’s pack, I think it will be easy to confirm. I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure, but I think we both know that is probably your mother darling.” Austin says knowingly. I must admit, it sounds likely as well.

“I’d like to see the picture. I want to see my mother’s pack too, but…” I trail off, suddenly very concerned. Austin senses my nervousness though and kisses my shoulder.

“Tell me darling.” He encourages.

“There are two other Alphas after me, Austin. TWO. I went from being hidden and a ghost, and now I feel like I’m being hunted.” My voice almost cracking. I’m strong and so is Roxie, but that is still a lot to take in.

“Hey, baby, listen to me. I will keep you safe. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Austin says, pushing his love through our bond to calm me.
