His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

“Yes ma’am. I will guard the secret with my life!” I joke.

As we get to the car, Renz is waiting for us and he looks amused to see the expression on Austin’s face too. “Hair clip and thumbtack?”

He loads the luggage in the trunk and grumbles, “Yes, and now she is conspiring with my mate and creating an alliance.”

Renz starts laughing and gives Renata a hug. “Boy, have I missed you being around. It will be even funnier now. Luna gives Austin a run for his money.”

Renata returns the embrace and smirks, “If that’s the case, then I have no arguments with the Moon Goddess! It takes a strong woman to keep my son in his place.”

I am trying desperately to suppress another laugh, but I fail. I put my arms around Austin’s neck and amusement in my eyes, “I love you my dear mate. It looks like you are going to have your hands full.”

He wraps his arms around me with the same amusement in his eyes, “You’re not?”

I smirk, “Alliance…your words. I think I may enjoy having your mom here more often than not.”

We both turn our heads when we hear a shutter. Renata was taking a picture with her phone and the sound was an old camera shutter. “You two look perfect together. I need to get this framed!”

I feel a very flustered blush warm my cheeks as Austin chuckles. “Mom, you will have plenty of time for pictures. Let’s go.‘

Austin started explaining my upbringing and why I have a hard time in social settings because i was isolated most of my life and my only socializing was….harsh.

The entire time Renata listened quietly. She growled a couple of times when I mentioned what Cullen and then again when she learned of how I didn’t get to go to school. Other than that, h stoic. She didn’t give away anything in her expression or body language and I have to say, it want to ask her about how she maintains that kind of composure later.

“Anyway mom, this is just the scratching the surface. There is more, but we are coming to t pack house and we can discuss privately in my office later if you like.” Austin concludes.

Renata slowly looks at me and with a very calm voice, “Rebel, I am so very so for everyth you have been through. Rest assured, no one will harm you again.”

She grabbed my hands and I saw her eyes glisten with tears that she held back. “I’n Renz, Jessup and their mates are your siblings too. I know you have been very alone al better than most what that feels like. I understand the difficulties in trusting someone. I’m not saying this because I am a widow. I’m saying this because when my late mate found me, I was alone. I had no one and I didn’t trust anyone. I’m even more thankful to the Moon Goddess that she paired you with my son. I can see in his eyes how much he loves you. I, as your mother, will love you with a mother’s heart.”

A damn of tears I didn’t even know I was holding broke completely. I leaned in Renata for a hug and whispered,
