His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 646

Thalia POV

My phone rang, and Kaia's name displayed on the screen. I answered it happily, "Hey sister, soul sister!"

She laughed at my singing of "Lady Marmalade," and then she began speaking. "We found the mole. The one that was after Rodrigo."

I immediately put it on speaker. I was in Aiden's office with him and Adrian. "Who was it?"

"Gene."

"Gene? The one who rescued Sinclair, Gene?"

"The very one. He was leaving the pack, and my alert came through. He said his orders changed and he was leaving. He is in the dungeon right now."

Adrian growled low. "He was near my mate and pups! He donated blood to her."

"I know, Adrian. That's what makes this all the more confusing," Isaiah said.

I am confused too. You would think Gene had an opportunity to kill Sinclair and didn't. He knocked out Ronan instead.

"Has he said what the new orders are?" I asked.

"No. The warriors are beating the shit out of him right now, as we speak," Kaia answered.

Aiden is looking pensive. "At the time, did Julian know that he needed Sinclair? Maybe that's why he didn't kill her."

If that is the case, then Sinclair is right; Julian is not going to kill her. Not while she is still useful to him. She knows this too. She will keep herself useful until she goes on the offensive.

Adrian, however, is fighting to keep Thor under control. "I shook that asshole's hand. I thanked him for donating blood to Sinclair. He is a double agent."

"Was he only looking for Rodrigo?" I asked.

"As far as we know. Julian wants to force a blood contract on Rodrigo to take ownership of the docks."

I growled low. "I think it's time I stepped in," I said.

"Stepped in, how?" Aiden asked.

Isaiah spoke up, "Kaia and I will accompany him. Besides, I want to see all my nieces and nephews too."

Julian POV

"Where's Gene?"

"I don't know. He checked in, understood his new orders, and then disappeared," my beta said.

"What about Sinclair? Did she return to Blackstone?"

"According to our scouts, no. She left, and she hasn't returned. Two of our scouts witnessed her disown Blackstone as her pack and reject her mate. She was clutching her chest when she rode off in her car, Alpha."

"Excellent. Have the scouts persuade her to see me. They are not to force her. Just say that I am interested in offering her an opportunity and see if she is willing to come back to hear me out. Make it sincere," I ordered. "Then find Gene!"

I had him carefully planted in Ironclaw. Elder Vorath cleaned up his application, leaving very few flaws so that it looked believable. I need him here now. I wanted him to bring Sinclair to me, but that seems to be out of the question now. My only resolve is to rely on the scouts. They are not as smooth-talking as he is, though. Let's hope they do a good job.
