A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 32

"And we're done"

I slump back on the bed after packing my clothes. I'm exhausted now 'Elle I need to run' Eliz whimpers 'then you're lucky, I still got enough energy.'

First we made sure the coast was clear as I don't want to crash in to anyone, most especially Claire, Jea and Eric. When we don't smell or see anyone I run downstairs and out of the house using my werewolf speed.

I shifted letting Eliz, my wolf, take control of our body and our mind while I sit back and watch her. She's like a child right now, jumping from one side to the other side then continues to keep her running pace in the woods. She beams with excitement wagging her tail then she howls once and then we reached a waterfall, close to the border. She lies down but there was something off about it. It's like she was waiting for someone. I heard a snap I began to panic but Eliz relaxes as if she knew who was here.

A white wolf with black paws and a black nose settles beside us. He nuzzles his head in Eliz's neck making her giggle. I couldn't control her from her actions towards her mate and my ex-mate. His golden eyes gazed in to ours; it was Zhipa, Eric's wolf.

They both set off running and playing around while I sit back and watch. I cry inside feeling bad for our wolves they seem to really love one another yet our human side is conflicted with them. Eliz howls when she felt my emotions both shifting in our human form stark naked in front of Eric as tears poured down my face.

His hand rises as if he wants to wipe them away but he turns and runs back then returns and throws me some clothes. I wanted to talk to him but he turns around again and runs away leaving us there.

"It's time to go now"

I run back to my room and found Aaron sitting on it with his head between his hands.

"Aaron?"

He looks dishevelled and once he saw me he stood up from the bed and within a second I was engulfed in his arms.

"I know you're not going back home," I tried to push him off but his hold tightened.

"It would be nice if you could stay here just a week and I promise to let you go," he pulls back "Please"

Moving away from him, embracing myself with my arms I walk away towards the window turning away from him
