His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Austin POV

Ceraline had a mate and rejected him? This is news to me. She still tried to come on to me instead of appreciating the Moon Goddess‘ gift? It seems that Michael cares deeply about Ceraline and she is too blinded by power and greed.

Michael sits at the table and clearly he is nervous. I guess it’s not every day an Omega is invited to eat with ranked members. It isn’t against to rules to sit with us though. I wonder if the other omegas and non–ranked members are afraid to sit with us? I make a mental note to change that soon. Maybe I will start integrating with the other pack members after the Luna Ceremony. I didn’t realize it until now, but there is not a lot of mingling in the pack.

“Michael, there is no need to be nervous around here. We are your ranked members. We protect our pack,” I begin, “What we are going to tell you is to protect you as well. Please keep that in mind.” I finish.

Michael relaxes a little, “Thank you Alpha.”

I look to Rebel and let her begin. She looks gently at Michael and offers a small smile.

She begins, “Michael, it pains me to say this to you. Ceraline was only using you. She took the information you gave her about me to plot and scheme against me because I’m Austin’s mate.”

“What? No. That’s not right. Ceraline is a good person.” Michael responds. I hear Lacy snort. Michael looks at Lacy.

“Michael, Ceraline is a lot of things, a good person isn’t one of them.” Lacy looks at him with a deadpan look on her face.

“Lacy,” Rebel interrupted, “This is hard enough for Michael.”

She turned back to Michael, “Michael,” she continued, “I’ve only been here for about a coupl three now. In that time, I have had to confront Ceraline multiple times to stay away from m her in the cells was her treason to her Alpha and Luna,” Michael’s eyes went wide, but Reb you told her that my previous Alpha was looking for me, she went to him and offered to he she could try to become Luna of Blackstone.” She finished.

“No. No, that’s not possible,” Michael said, clearly refusing to believe what he is hearing.

I then interrupted, “Michael, I know this is hard to believe but it is true. We all witnessed Ce She has been trying to seduce me for a long time.

“That can’t be. It can’t.” Michael said looking absolutely broken.

“I was there Michael. Your Alpha wouldn’t lie to you.” Renz spoke.

Tears were filling Michael’s eyes. I can’t imagine the pain he is feeling right now, but he is my pack member, and I will be getting rid of Ceraline. He has to know that she was only using him.

He looked down and a tear dropped from his cheek. It’s heartbreaking to watch even for an Alpha. He looks me in

the eye, “Alpha, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but I would like to see Ceraline. I need to hear this from her. It’s more so I can move on. Will you grant me an audience with her?”

I have to say, I have a lot of respect for this omega. He may not be the strongest of the pack members, given his rank, but he has guts. “I will allow it, but I will accompany you. My punishment to her will be given as soon as you are done seeing her.” I say to him.

“Yes, Alpha. I understand, thank you.” He says quietly.

Rebel reaches out to Michael, “Michael, rejection isn’t the worst thing. I will tell you a secret,” she says encouragingly, “You’re Alpha is my second chance mate. Considering my background that very few know, the chances of me having a second chance mate was far less than your chances. I know this hurts now, but I know the Moon Goddess doesn’t forget those of us who have been wronged.” She said as she offered a kind smile to

Michael.

“Thank you, Luna.” He said quietly once again. He is clearly hurting, so I decide we are going to see Ceraline right now.

“Michael,” I turn to him, “When we got to her cell, I want you to stay back. I know it’s hard to believe what you are hearing, and your heart wants to fight against our words. But, you will see and hear for yourself from Ceraline’s own mouth, what we say is true. Only then, will you be allowed to speak to her.” I tell him. I know he wants to rush to help her, but she is nothing more than a conniving poison, lurking in the shadows of my pack and I can no longer stand by and allow it to fester.

“Yes Alpha.” He says.

Ceraline POV

I’ve lost track of how long I’ve been in this wretched cell. I haven’t been allowed visitors, but I was allowed to send a message to Michael. I need him to help me get out of here. He hasn’t been very useful to other choice do I have?

I hear the dungeon doors open. Heavy footsteps come towards my cell. When I look up, it’s on my charm and convince him to free me. It’s going to be difficult, but I will humble mysel

out of here.

“Austin! I’m so sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I see it was a big mistake. I promise I will m better. Please forgive me!” I beg. I hate begging, but I need to get out of here.
