His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 603

Adrian POV

I felt a pang in my heart. She continued, though. “I thought these two would be my family and joy, and I didn’t want someone taking them from me and leaving me alone again. I know it was wrong to keep it from you, though. After thinking about it with Mali some more, I decided I was going to tell you, but I didn’t get the chance because Ronan and Candy showed up.”

I kissed her. I poured all my love into that kiss. We are together now, and the misunderstandings are cleared up. That is all that matters.

When I pulled away from her, I smiled. “We are a family, little mate. Our pups are ours and no one else’s. No one is taking them from us.”

I held her against my chest and rubbed her back gently, being mindful of her wound. That is the moment Aiden decided to walk in on us.

“Did you two kiss and make up?”

Sinclair’s face flushed, and she couldn’t even look Aiden in the eyes. Aiden smirked.

“Ready to accept me as your alpha again?” He asked. No jokes, reprimands, lectures. Just the question.

She looked at him, and I thought she was going to cry again. Instead, she took a deep breath and nodded.

Aiden and her completed the pack bond, and I felt her tether snap in place again with the pack link. Then Aiden decided to joke around.

“Thalia would have had my balls in a vice if I gave you any shit. We still have five more pups to make. So I need them intact.”

We both laughed, and then she hissed from the gunshot wound. “Lay back down, baby. I’ll go get the doctor.”

Aiden interrupted. “Stay with her. I’ll get the doctor.”

Sinclair POV

Adrian was the last person I expected to see and the one person I was relieved to see when I woke up. My heart swelled and wanted to burst. I was still being cautious, but when he looked at me with that small smile and love in his eyes, Mali and I both melted.

We had been wrong. I should have stayed and talked to him. I shouldn’t have assumed anything. Hearing that conversation reminded me of how long I have been alone in my life, and I found it too good to be true that anyone would want or love me.

I looked at Adrian’s face. His eyes were tired, but happy. He really did miss me. I felt a pang in my chest. I thought I was doing him a favor by leaving cleanly. I guess he still wants the mess that I am.

I held his hand as I lay back down. My shoulder is screaming at me. I don’t understand why I’m not healed yet. I push it aside for now. I look at Adrian.

I swallowed and squeezed his hand. “I love you, Adrian,” I said quietly. Fear is gnawing at me. I’m allowing myself to be vulnerable. I’m trusting him not to hurt me.

He smiled widely and kissed me. “Say it again, Sinclair.”

My breath hitched slightly, and I felt my cheeks warm. “I said, I…love you,” I finished with my voice sounding small at the end.

Adrian smiled, and his eyes watered. “I love you, baby. I swear, I love you.”

He leaned down and kissed me. At first, it was gentle, but then he deepened the kiss. I thought he might go further, but he pulled away and pressed his forehead to mine.

“I can’t wait for you to get better. I can’t wait to see your stomach swollen with our pups. I can’t wait to make you mine again.”
