A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 25

Two days passed and we have been doing the same thing, digging in to info on hunters and rogues. Sometimes I feel like there was no use for me to be there. They may have wanted me to help find Jea but I can't help but think that Jea is not really the reason why I'm here.

Zeus opens a poster in front of Eric and Aaron "So they are handing out a reward for those who have info on the werewolves that killed their men. We need to be careful as there will definitely be traitors in here and out there," he warns them then passing it out to Lucian, Conrad then to me.

"So there is a reward" I glance back and forth Lucian narrows his eyes at me.

"Yup $2000 uro for anyone to find you," Conrad confirms.

I sigh with disappointment they all look at me

"That's you" Zeus pointed out.

I glare at Conrad "Did I say something wrong?" I huff "The price is too cheap and look at their posters, I mean my nose is too long" I threw it on the table, Zeus was right I look nothing like it.

"My face looks bland" I dramatically flip my hair "I curse the human who painted me. They should have taken a picture of their hostage instead of using 19th century method," I cross my legs. 'He's not even good at his job, is he?' Eliz purrs in my head. 'I wonder who even hired him' sighing under my breath.

Zeus moves closer to my seat making me scoot over almost falling on the floor but his hand on my waist keeps me in place. This dude has been flirting with me nonstop throughout the past two days. Presently I wasn't expecting this but I wonder why the sudden change of attitude. Maybe he's like Eric they're both bipolar and need medical attention. I could recommend it to Aaron since he's the only sane Alpha here.

"I do agree beautiful," his hand brushing away a strand of hair in front of my face.

Eliz pokes out her tongue with disgust, the guys jaw drops

'Is he seriously flirting in front of our mate' her face was gloomy in my head. 'Sorry I thought he's already mated and we're not... so stop calling him mate,' I retaliate 'Zhipa his wolf still loves me' she whimpers.

'Right love you enough to mate Claire's wolf instead?' I said it without thinking realizing what I just said to her, 'I'm sorry Eliz' she didn't talk back to me. I know she's upset with me now, and I felt bad then.

Eric scowls at him in which he finally removes his hand from me and walks back to his seat.

"I'll leave Jay here to discuss further details and pardon myself. I need to be somewhere today."

Before he left he turns to me "I know we haven't started off right but I would like to make it up next time we meet," he winks at me.

'There is no next time' Eliz growl in the back of my mind.

When he left I quickly got up and grabbed one of the books from the shelves and read it through. Flipping twice on the same chapter for anything interesting, unfortunately there was nothing. This is one of the trends now since my side is burning from the stares. They couldn't do anything else but just stare at me. It was getting annoying, so I turn to them
