All Chapters of His Outcast Mate (Book 4: The 'His' Series: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rebel POV I thought I raised men with good values and respect for the Moon Goddess’s will. Clearly, I have failed as a mother. Adrian is treating his mate like a damn outcast. She is family. Whether she bonded with him or not, that girl has done nothing but be family with us. She deserves better. When dinner was over, I marched up to Adrian, grabbed him by his ear, and dragged him all the way to Aiden’s office. The entire time, he was saying ouch and telling me to let go. Austin and Aiden were waiting for us. I even see Thalia there. Good. When we are firmly inside the room, I sat his stubborn ass down and hit him upside his head. “Mom! What the hell?” He said, raising his voice to me. Austin growled low, but I wasn’t about to let him get in my way. I got in my son’s face. “What the hell is wrong with you, treating that girl like she doesn’t exist!?” “What are you talking about? I came to dinner and spent time with everyone. Sinclair included." "Spent time with her? Did you not

Adrian POV After Sinclair left the table, everyone else looked at me. Mom seemed a little less upset. Dad simply gave me a short nod. Thalia and Rory are clearly still not happy with me. Jonah gave me a short nod, and Aiden gave me a slight smirk. I know I’m on everyone’s shit list right now. Today, I’m trying to do better. It’s just not easy for me. “That was better, Adrian,” Aiden said. “Not enough, but better.” I sighed. “I really wasn’t aware she didn’t eat. I feel bad about it.” “Is that all?” Thalia asked. “I’m taking things slow, everyone. I know you all want me to jump in and get started, but my situation with Sinclair is not the same as it was for all of you. Please let us figure this out.” I am tired of everyone trying to dictate what I need to do. I know full well, but I am not ready to take that step yet. When I’m ready, I will. Thalia spoke up, “Don’t take too long, Adrian. Even mates have a limit.” She got up and left the table. Aiden followed. Rory then said som

Sinclair POVAdrian taking the time to get to know me is… different. Before, when Amber was alive, we would have light conversations. His world was wrapped around trying to fix his relationship with Amber, so he never knew me.“Explain that to me, Sinclair. I thought you had a family growing up.”“It’s just like it sounds, Adrian. See, sometimes, the state doesn’t have enough room for kids in the system. They rely on families to take kids in and care for them, while they try to find us permanent homes. The state would pay those families for watching over those kids. Sometimes, if a kid is really lucky, the foster home will adopt the kid. I wasn’t that lucky, though.”His eyes darkened slightly. I have no idea what he is thinking. I don’t want to give him the details. The last thing I want is for him to pity me. I told him what was going on with the pack members for his awareness. The way he has treated me has given the pack the audacity to treat me like I’m undeserving of common respe

Sinclair POV My body is on fire. Adrian’s touch makes it worse. It’s like he’s teasing me, and my body is wound up so tight I think I might implode. ‘Let him take care of us, Clair! He clearly knows what to do,’ Mali said. ‘I’m scared, Mali.’ ‘Don’t be. He’s our mate.’ I have never been intimate. I don’t know how to be. Everything about my life has been one rejection after another. Even this moment is forced. Right now, I don’t care. I will think about all of it later. I gasped as his fingers slid down my pants. I am so uncomfortably wet. I hope this isn’t a turn-off. “It’s okay, Sinclair. I’m going to take care of you.” He slowly moves off me, and my body starts feeling pain again. He starts sliding my jeans down and tosses them on the floor. Then he removes my panties. I don’t have anything sexy or flirty. Everything is white cotton. He must think I’m boring. ‘Trust me. That’s not what he’s thinking,’ Mali drooled in my head. He growled approvingly again. “So fucking beauti

Sinclair POVHe’s angry, but not at me. That’s a relief. When I felt the bond snap, it seemed like he still wasn’t ready for our bond. I know we were put in an impossible situation, but did that mean we had to mark each other?‘Yes. Or he would have gone into rut again, and you would have gone into heat again, Clair. I’m sorry, Thor, and I did this so suddenly, but we don’t regret it. You two need to talk things through. There is no going back now.’I suppose she’s right. We are mated and marked. He’s in the bathroom, drawing me a bath. I’m sore, but I think I’m fine. I tried to get up, and then I understood. Holy hell! My legs are wobbling. I can barely move.Just as I was trying to support myself, Adrian came back out. He sees me and smirks.“How’s that working out for you?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You did this on purpose.”“No. I’m just that good,” he smiled smugly.I scoffed. “You’re too full of yourself.”I tried to take a step, and my eyes widened at the sensation between my
