His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 680

Adrian POV

The only thing I want to do is spend time alone with Sinclair. I know she needs to be debriefed. I know she needs to eat. I know she wants to see our pups. I just want her. I have missed her like crazy, and now she is here with me again.

“Before Adrian kidnaps his mate, let’s get back to the pack,” Thalia said, laughing.

I smirked. “You can’t blame me. It’s been a month.”

Aiden laughed at me. “Try to behave yourself, Adrian.”

Meanwhile, Angelo was looking at us with amusement. I take the time to greet him. I extend my hand to him.

“Thank you for looking out for my mate, and for interrupting Julian when you did.”

The tips of Angelo’s ears went pink. “Sinclair looked after me more than I could for her. She defended me a lot. She told me Blackstone is a good place.”

I smiled. “Better than good. Come on, let’s go.”

We all headed out of the airstrip and to the SUVs waiting in the parking lot. We all loaded up, and then took off towards the pack house. I have my arm around Sinclair, and her head is on my shoulder. Her sweet bergamot and honey scent filled my senses and calmed me.

I have been on edge for a month. Today, seeing Julian kiss my mate infuriated me. Now that my little sin is back, though, I couldn’t care less about that asshole. His day is coming, but today, he is nothing. She is everything.

Angelo is sitting across from us with Aiden and Thalia. Aiden starts asking questions of Angelo.

“How did you get mixed up with Julian?” he asked.

“Like I told Sinclair, Julian sold me a bill of goods. It was all a lie. He gave the illusion that he would treat everyone fairly and protect us all. In reality, he ignored a lot of his pack members, myself included.”

“You work in IT, though, right?” Aiden asked.

“Yeah. I think I’m pretty good, but nowhere near as good as Sinclair.”

“Sinclair is certainly gifted,” Thalia said and then asked, “What makes you want to come to Blackstone?”

“Sinclair sold me the bill of goods this time. I believe her, though.”

“Are you a wolf, too?”

“A maw. Julian converted me.”

Aiden and Thalia looked at each other and then at Angelo. “You’re a maw?”

“Yeah. Why?”

We all started laughing. Sinclair is amused.

“I heard he wanted to make you his Luna,” Thalia said to Sinclair.

“Yeah, he did. What’s crazy is that he still wanted Mia, while saying he wanted me as his Luna. Like, how would that work? He is completely delusional.”

I growled. “Mine!”

She smirked. “Yours.”

She put her head on my shoulder again. This time, she closed her eyes and rested. By the time we got to the pack house, I was holding her in my lap as she slept. She must be exhausted after this mission. I can’t even imagine how her nerves held up. She went into the lion’s den and came out unscathed.

We walked into the pack house, and I was carrying my mate in my arms. I looked at Aiden and Thalia; they simply nodded. I nodded at Angelo. As I walked away, I saw Aiden and Thalia show Angelo to the dining hall. I’m sure they will get him situated while I take care of my mate. I am desperate to have her in our room again. Her scent has faded, and I want it back.

I carried her to our room, and once inside, I carried her to the bed. After laying her down, I gently took off her shoes and socks. She hates sleeping with socks on. I always find it amusing. After taking off her shoes, I carefully removed her jeans so she wouldn’t wake up feeling rubbed raw by the fabric. The entire time she doesn’t move. She really must have been waiting to come back to fall apart.

I don’t mind that she fell asleep. She did so in my arms, and it made me feel good knowing that I’m her refuge, where she can finally let go of the tension and rest.

Once I put her shoes and jeans aside, I climbed into bed with her and continued holding her. I breathed in her scent and smiled.

Everything in the world feels right again. I will worry about everything going on later. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with my mate in my arms, and it was the best sleep I’d had in the last month.
