A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 35

"Jea died"

It was the first thing on my mind when I woke up finding myself in familiar surroundings, so there was no need to be panic. I was in my room at Aaron's pack until the door busted open and Aberdeen walks in surprising me.

She crushed me in to a big hug which I returned wholeheartedly, I really did miss her.

"You bad girl" she pushes me back on the bed

"Hey I did call you"

"Well that was 3 weeks ago." I hug her like a child clinging to her mother "I know, so why exactly are you here?" I ask

She fumbles with her fingers "We're moving packs for now, both Eric and Aaron has offered for all packs to move the children and women here for protection. You know since they're the largest one."

"That's a relief! Now I get to hang out with you guys more often," my bedroom door opens again. In came Jay, Aaron, Conrad, Leto and Josh and I wave them hello with a big smile on my face.

"We know Alpha Zeus betrayed us and Jea is dead," Aaron began. "How did you know?" "Well you should be happy that we were able to hear your howl and as for Zeus someone from the pack just informed us last night that Alpha Zeus is the traitor so it seems like you weren't the only one who witnessed last night. Still we want to hear your side to confirm everything."

"The barrier hasn't vanished completely," they listen as I spoke. "I overheard them last night, there will only be 100 hunters that could make it through but none of them can go back, that means they die if they do so as only the wolves' gene could bypass the barrier."

Jay looks frustrated; he was now sitting down on a chair "I don't know why he did it. How can I be so blind...? I didn't expect him to be so" he kept rambling.

"I think I do" their attention is on me again "his Mate is a hunter and we killed her only family. You know they were part of the group that were killed when I was rescued"

Jay jumped to his feet suddenly "Gosh so this is some revenge" I nodded my head "but it isn't all about some revenge this is about ruling and dominating the werewolf's realm." "Then isn't he supposed to kill us then since we" he pointed between the two of us "are on the hit list."

"They know we didn't do it and as I've said this isn't about some revenge and I think they are already here"

Aaron looked confused with the others "They won't attack Eric they'll attack here first, if you think logically they want here to be eliminated first so that when they attack Eric's it would be easier. You know Aaron's pack is the largest in number and to be the largest in number means if they attack Eric first by the time they get here the numbers and the skills of the warriors will be as twice as theirs and precisely it's a no victory for them"
