A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 24

"Alpha Zeus"

Eric shifted and greeted him followed by Aaron. Eliz fans herself with her paws before we turn to the other side.

'Our poor innocent eyes' I pouted and she laughs in my face. They must have thought we have seen tons of it but hey this is the first time we saw male glory that people talk about.

We saw one of the pack members handing out clothes so we moved and she gave us sweatpants and black t-shirt. We changed behind a tree away from the eyes of the pervy male wolves, just kidding.

Jay came behind me "Elle, are you okay?"

I smile back at him "Yeah, so he's your Alpha" he runs his hand on his temple

"Yeah you could say that but..." I frown at him "Jay is he not the one who save me?"

"No, I mean not really" he kept rambling "Look Elle it's complicated and I know you'll want to thank him for saving your life but can you not do it. You know just let it go?" now he is making me confused "Please Elle, just be grateful that's all" I wanted to push for answers but I know he wouldn't answer any of my questions.

Alpha Zeus walked ahead with Aaron and Eric while I trail behind with Jay, catching up on when we went on our separate ways.

Time passed, the clock in Aaron's office keeps ticking, my nails tapping the arm chair and eyes rolling from side to side to the Alphas and their betas. They couldn't agree on whom to send to the Northern Bridge Court to get Jea from Edinburgh.

After the surprise attack from the hunters and the grand entrance of Alpha Zeus, everyone went back to Aaron's office and instead of having breakfast we had lunch since the fight went up for hours. Like I said I was so high to notice the time spent especially when my wolf wasn't helping. Only time she did is when she felt her mate running in our direction 'what a show off.' Sitting in silence was quite awkward.

Although Jay has told me some interesting things about Zeus, he didn't really go into details with it but he told me his one rule.

One rule is never telling him that you owe him especially if you're a female because he will only ask for one thing from them in return. He doesn't care whether you're mated or not and that could be one of the reasons why he did not let me thank him.
