His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Rebel POV

I’m excited, nervous, and unsure about Renata making this call. She knows them. I didn’t expect to ever talk to them, much less have them come to my Luna Ceremony. What if they don’t like me? What if they think my background is a stain to their family’s reputation. All the things my father and his family said to me over the years is rearing its ugly head again and making me second guess if this is a good idea.

Austin feels my anxiety and as soon as we get into his office with his mother, he pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead. “Darling, they will love you. They will welcome you with open arms. I’m sure of it.”

Renata looks at us curiously and Austin answers her unspoken question, “Mom, Rebel was told repeatedly growing up that she is unwanted and a stain on her father’s family reputation. It’s why her bedroom was the attic and she wasn’t allowed to see anyone in her previous pack. They were ashamed of her.”

Her mouth thinned into a hard line. “Imagine how stupid your father will feel, when he finds out you have two packs that will love you unconditionally Rebel.”

She grabs her phone and dials Alpha Reid’s phone number. She has it on speaker and after two rings, an older male voice answers, “Luna Renata! What a pleasant surprise! To what do I owe the honor of this call?”

“Alpha Reid, it’s been a while. How are you doing these days?” She replied jovially.

“Oh you know, you can’t keep a good wolf down. Adele is enjoying her grandpups at the moment.” He said. You could hear the tenderness and smile on his face as he spoke.

“It’s funny you should mention grandpups Reid. I really think you and Adele should both be on this call and I think you both should be sitting. I have something to discuss with you both and it’s important.” Renata said. She still had a happy expression to her tone but there was an underline of seriousness as well.”

“Important you say? Should we get on a video call?” Reid asked.

“Yes,

and I think you will be shocked if you do.” Renata answered.

“Give me 5 minutes and I will call you back.” He said and ended the call.

I’m sitting beside my mate and I’m nervous and shaking like a leaf. I’m going to get to see dem. Even if it is through a video, it’s more than I could have ever imagined. Oh, I hope they like me.

Austin put his arms around me and kissed my temple. “It’s going to be okay little mate.“eel him pushing love and calmness through the mate bond.

I leaned into his neck and inhaled his scent to calm me. I am sure I’m worrying for nothing, Dat this is such a big moment, I can’t help how I am feeling.

Renata’s phone starts ringing and this time she picks up as a video call. After some pesantries with Reid and Adele, she starts to talk about why she is calling, “Reid, Adele, I have some rather shoc ing news. I’m glad you are both sitting down too. First, I want to start by telling you that my son Austin found his fated mate.”

“That’s wonderful! Congratulations!” They both said.

“It truly is wonderful, but that is not all. I want to invite you both to the Luna Ceremony tomorrow. I know that is

short notice, but when you understand why, I’m sure you both will want to come.” Renata continued.

Adele speaks up, “Renata, you have me in suspense. What exactly is going on?”

“This has to do with Sydney.” She began, “First, let me ask you something, do you remember the name of the person who told you that Sydney passed during childbirth?”

Reid growls, “Harris Lawson! That good for nothing wolf. I lost my daughter and grandpup because of him. If I ever see him again, I will end his life.”

“He lied.” Renata said.

There was a moment of silence as those two words looked as if they were processing through my grandparents‘ heads.

“What do you mean he lied?” Reid said, his voice low.

Renata smiled gently, “Your grandpup did not die. She is mated to my son.

“WHAT?” Adele said loudly. She wasn’t screaming but her voice was loud and in utter shock.

“This is a cruel joke you are playing Renata. We suffered for years after Sydney died and never knowing our grandpup.” Reid said, his voice was hoarse and angry.

Austin started growling and jumped in front of the video, “With all due respect, my mother would not joke about something this delicate. Your granddaughter was treated no better than a slave by the very Harris Lawson who told you that your daughter and grandpup had both died!”

His anger is palpable. Renata smiles at her son and touches his arm. “Perhaps you would like to see your granddaughter? Her name is Rebel Lawson. She is 23 years old, which tracks with the timeline. Not to mention she is a spitting image of Sydney.”

I see both Reid and Adele look at each other and my grandmother puts her hand over her mout I see tears forming in her eyes. “She is there with you right now?”

I take a deep breath as Austin holds his hand out to me. I slowly make my way to the video c Renata. “Alpha Reid, Luna Adele, my name is Rebel Lawson.

Whatever anger they felt seemed to have dissipated. Staring back at me are two very refined older wolves with a very shocked expression on their faces.

“It can’t be.” Reid whispered.

“You look just like Sydney.” Adele is now full–on crying and I see fingers touching the screen, like she is trying to reach out to me.

“My father is Harris Lawson. He said my mother died giving birth to me. Only recent did we find a picture of Sydney in his desk.”

Austin opened a drawer and handed me the picture, and I lifted to the camera for them to see. “On the back it is dedicated by Sydney.”

I’m trying hard to keep my composure. The more I look at them, the more I see the resemblance. I have green
