A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 23

"We're doomed!"

Aaron repeated leaning forward on his office desk with his hands on both sides holding himself up. While Eric is watching outside the window, I could see him frown and see he's little bit angry. The other three sat there in their seat like statues.

"We last saw each other near the Blood Moon pack down south" I slowly told them the truth

"And that was four years ago," Eric replied without looking our way.

"True but you're not getting my point here" their attention was back to me "She lives with her relatives, until a year ago when she told me through a letter that she has moved to the Northern bridge Court," they look confused. "It's an undercover academy for witches hidden within the mountains of Edinburgh" I explain "and Jea happens to run that."

"That mountain is only for those who wish for their death to be quick" Eric scoffs at me "but then again that was a year ago" he shook his head.

Clearly there's something he doesn't like and he's taking it out on me. The Eric I met this morning turned bipolar.

"I'm sorry Alpha; it feels like you have a problem with me, if you do please I would really appreciate it if you could emphasize what I did wrong in. Apart from the fact that I just told you Jea runs the school of witches in Edinburgh"

He laughs shortly shaking his head then throws me his daggered look.

"You're the problem here Elle,"

He made his way to me, none of the others moved, except for Jay who moves to stand by me, Lucian nod his head no to him. "If you hadn't shown up in our lives our packs wouldn't haven't gone through this. Hunters wouldn't be lurking around demanding war for us and rogues wouldn't have helped them."

Eliz whimpers cowering and shutting herself off from me. It was me all alone now to battle against Eric even though it felt like I'm back to square one again like the day I saw him with Claire I put on a motionless face.

"Correct that Alpha, Hunters and Rogues have been attacking your packs constantly which is not a problem caused by me" I stood my ground not letting his words sink in to hurt me any further.
