All Chapters of The Alpha's Plus-Sized Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucien's pov Vivian was screaming now. The moment Doctor Eric had come in and touched her, she screamed, lunging straight into my arms and clutching my collar so I wouldn't let go. "Has this happened before?" He asked, gesturing towards her. I shook my head, staring down at the girl that should have been my mate. Instead, she was suffering because of me. "Not that I know of. If she had felt the pain too, I'm sure she'd have told me. But she mentioned nothing like that." He pulled off his half moon glasses, setting them gently on the nightstand next to the bed. "It's a bond reaction, not a physical one. That complicates things." I rolled my eyes, clutching Vivian closer. "I didn't come here so you can explain my problem to me. I'm here so you can fix it." "What exactly happened? Right before she crashed, tell me." I launched into an explanation of the market, leaving out the part about the girl and how people were being traded just by the docks. He sighed deeply once

Lucien's pov Grey whined the whole ride back, demanding I touch Vivian to relieve the pain.But even just being in the same carriage as her was enough to relieve it."Why are you staring at me? Didn't you say you'd explain? Go ahead." Vivian snapped, her chubby hands crossed over her chest in this adorable attempt at being serious.'Mate is so cute. Let's spend the night with our mate!' Grey was practically panting.It was nearly impossible to keep him under control with his eagerness to reach her. "Our bond isn't... broken."Her eyes widened, then softened. "What?"I debated telling her about the pain. Maybe she'd felt it too. Maybe it could change her mind about fully parting ways once I became alpha.Despite me making up my mind to do so, the words that came out of my mouth were completely different. "When you rejected me, our bond only cracked. The physician said the chances of it actually breaking are a lot less than it healing."The silence carried for a few seconds, the only n

Lucien's pov It hadn't taken me long to notice her scent fading from the room.The problem hadn't been finding her, with her current scent, it would have been fairly easy.Following her, however, proved incredibly difficult.My body didn't feel fine. Grey had nearly taken control at least a dozen times, and each time I pictured Vivian's soft smile, all I could think about was driving myself into her.I knew better than to feel anything for an omega. But the sweet scent she'd given up seemed to cloud all my reasoning.And then I felt it. A fear that wasn't mine but demanded my attention. It chilled me to the bone.My body moved on its own, chasing her scent across the yard and down the street. It took me too long to find her, and the moment I did, it felt like my sight had been stolen.Grey took over me, even in my human form, as I rushed forward.Two men stood over her, laughing and holding something white above her head while she struggled to get it.I considered killing them after

Lucien's pov She flinched away instantly, trying to stuff the small pill into her mouth.I reached her just in time, snatching it away from her and tossing it aside. "What are you thinking?"Another flinch before her palms pressed against my chest to shove me away."It...it hurts!" She screamed. The same sound that had forced me to come back in here.The sound of her in pain almost hurt more than staying away from a sweet smelling omega in heat."You can't relieve it with that." I pulled her close, rubbing her back gently.The guards I'd ordered to bring in food, all betas, came in. Their gazes were fixed on the ground as they set the trays onto the table and walked out."The doctor is already here. He brought all you need to push the heat away." I pulled the medicine from my pocket. "It's safe and tested. But you have to eat something for me first, ok?"Her body was visibly shaking now, so much that I knew she'd never be able to hold a spoon.She nodded stiffly, her teeth sinking in

Vivian's pov"I can smell the little whore from out here!" the alpha yelled again, clearly irritated. "Aren't you mated to that fat girl?"Lucien growled, rolling his eyes. "What do you want?""It never crossed your mind to submit a report on the trading routes you visited? And even after I bother myself to come get it, the sight presented to me is you cheating on your Luna even before coronation."His lips parted, probably to say something that would evade the only sentence that could clear things up."It... it's me!" I called out, voice slightly shaking.For a moment, he said nothing. Then his heavy sigh came through the door. His footsteps faded off after that, and I finally let out the breath I didn't even know I'd been holding."Did he just leave?" I whispered, my fingers clutching the hem of his shirt.Lucien chuckled, nodding as he pried my fingers off him. "Let's get you cleaned up now. The pills should have kicked in by now, right?"I nodded, sighing in relief. It was still a
