A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 18

Present

'I'm so proud of you' Eliz sang in my head as we settle down a grass

'Me too girl, I'm proud that you're my wolf' I smile through our links

We had to run in to the woods after getting out of that hell of a meeting, leaving my poor wedges behind and cutting off all mind links from everyone, not caring of anyone's opinion anymore. We just need to be alone, so here we are close to the borders watching the sun set before heading back to the pack house.

When we arrive back all the cars had gone except for two posh vehicles still parked in front of the pack house.

Aberdeen hugs me tightly when she saw me coming. She was sitting on the doorstep waiting for me. I thank the moon goddess for giving me such a wonderful friend who never judges me but only gives me support unlike some best friends I grew up with.

"Hey where did you go?" she asks still hugging me.

"Just to clear my head"

She pulls back this time her hands never left my arms comforting me.

"So proud of you" she says and drags me inside the house.

Leto came out of the office, upon seeing me he took a step forward, his hand patting my shoulders without saying anything.

"Alpha would like to see you"

Nodding my head, I made my way to his office opening up the door before going inside.

I instantly and seriously hate that beta of ours. He didn't warn me about the other Alphas, he should have said Alphas' instead of Alpha ugh. I kept on kicking myself mentally wishing that never stepped foot in here.

Alpha Josh motioned for me to sit on the couch in the middle while the others are on the other couches.

"Elle you know why you're here" Josh looks at me

I bit my bottom lip nervously

"I disrespect everyone in the meeting" I didn't want to mention names.

"Yes and No that's not why you're here actually. We have-" he looked around him to Eric and the Moonbridge Alpha "-decided to let you stay in Aaron's pack."

One thing came out of my mouth "No" I clamp my hand to my mouth "Sorry Alpha I don't mean to disrespect you, please forgive me but no."

Eric stood up "You have no option here"

"No" I retort at him, then the Moonbridge Alpha spoke in a husky voice

"You do as we say"

Again I stubbornly say "No."
