His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 507

Isaiah POV

“Son, are you ready?” I heard Dad call out.

“Yeah. I am just trying to get my tie straight.”

Dad laughed, “You never have been able to tie a good tie. Want some help?”

“Please,” I said sheepishly.

Dad smirked, “Tonight’s a big night. Tomorrow will be an even bigger night for you.”

“I know. Never in a million years did I think this would happen,” I responded. “Were you nervous when you became official?”

“Yeah. Doesn’t matter how much you train, son. When you are behind the wheel for the first time, you get nervous. Just remember you can only handle one day at a time. That will help you get through the most difficult days,” Dad said.

I’ve been a beta for three years, but Aiden has always trained me to be an Alpha from day one. He never thought he would keep his position because he hadn’t found Thalia yet. Either way, though, I was always his backup.

I think that is why I became so serious. Everything about being an Alpha is boiled down to one word…responsibility. I’m just grateful Aiden thought of me to take over Blackstone back then. I might otherwise have felt overwhelmed being the alpha here.

“Where’s my kid brother?”

“Big bro! You made it!” I said to Aiden while we hugged.

“Wouldn’t miss it. Have you seen Kaia yet?”

“No. Have you?”

“Briefly. She swatted me away when I tried to see Thalia,” he laughed.

“Sounds about right. She is loud and proud.”

“Then consider yourself lucky. The women in our family are all loud and proud, including Mom.”

“Don’t I know it,” I replied with a smile.

“Tomorrow morning, I want to see the cave. I will help you plot out a plan to get a dig underway.”

“Dad started today, but I know we did upgrades when you took over. I was doing a cursory review of the pack finances. I really think that Paul was skimming off the top. Numbers aren’t adding up.”

“You know, you have a mate who is excellent at information gathering, right?”

I stopped and laughed. “I have been so busy trying to figure things out around here, that I forgot I am mated to a canary. I will talk to her after the ceremony.”

Dad comes in and hugs Aiden. They talk a few minutes, and then Dad tells us it’s time. We go downstairs and to the back of the pack house. Mom set up everything so nicely. It’s earthy, and the smell of pine and musk is everywhere. It’s definitely my taste.

Mom came up from behind, and I gave her a hug. “Thanks for setting this up, Mom.”

“I had help, plus your Luna certainly knows your taste. She designed everything.”

I looked at my mom, “Really?”

Rodrigo scoops her up and brings her to me. She is looking at him in awe. Thalia has tears in her eyes, and so does Sinclair. Everyone knows that Rodrigo liked Sinclair, but Sinclair never returned that affection. She doesn’t look upset, though. She looks like someone who is happy for her friend.

“Isaiah…,” Rodrigo said with expectation.

“Rodrigo, do you want to join Ironclaw?” I asked him.

He nodded, “Yeah. For now.”

I nodded and had Sheri, Mack, and Rodrigo accept me as their alpha. When the acceptance was done, it was time to party. Rodrigo left with Sheri to go back to the hospital. Mack stayed at the party to give them some space.

Thalia and Aiden came to me and hugged me. Thalia in particular was crying happily for Rodrigo. I promised her we would see Rodrigo and Sheri tomorrow.

“Sheri is a sweet girl, Thalia,” Kaia said. “Some warrior asshole named Micah knocked her out and gave her a concussion. Since she is an omega, it’s taking longer for her to recover.”

“Rodrigo being with her will help her heal faster,” I said.

We continued partying until almost midnight, and then everyone started going home. I told everyone the Luna ceremony would be late tomorrow afternoon, and everyone cheered.

Aric said he would switch out the guards before he called it a night, and Aiden and Adrian said they would go with him. I think Adrian and Amber had another fight because they are not speaking to each other right now.

‘Alpha, tomorrow morning, after breakfast, I was hoping to talk to you for a few minutes.’ Aric said through the mind link.

‘I’ll see you in the morning, then.’
