A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 20

"Freedom" was one word inside my head since the beta told me Alpha Reed is out for a week. I unpack my stuff before heading downstairs. I swear I hate taking steps, especially when it's a three storey pack house.

When I made it to the foyer there was no sight of anyone around so I walk a little bit to the other side and collide with the beta again. "Ouch" I wince complaining to Eliz 'seriously was he the only one in this house.'

"Where are you going?" he asks

"Umm to have a look around" I said nervously.

"I'm sorry Ms' Langford but Alpha's orders was not to allow you to go outside," my brain froze, 'wait a minute'

"I'm sorry when you carried my bag, did you see a sticker that says "prisoner"?" he shook his head "No, still you cannot go out," he spits out not even caring of how I would take his response.

"Okay how about this! When you drove me here, did you take me to a cell?" I still cannot believe this, he answers again "Sorry but it's Alpha's orders and I may not be your only barrier here. So still no, there's no use of it"

Right when he finishes I burst out loud laughing like a maniac, hurting my ribs since unable to control my laughter. He probably thinks I'm crazy but deep down inside of me I really, really, REALLY want to cry. These Alphas must really take me for a joke; first off it was Eric and now this maniac.

After when I'm done I walk back up dragging my feet on the floor like a wimpy child.

"Dinner's at 8pm" he calls me

"No one wants to eat your dinner" I reply in a harsh tone as I still walk up to the steps.

"It's Conrad by the way"
