A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 6

"Elle get the hell out of the car now!"

Leto says with frustration

When Aberdeen told me that Josh has agreed to leave me for training techniques I didn't take it well. They may not know Eric was my mate but hell no, I'm not going to stay here with him and his so called chosen mate Claire.

"Look I'm sorry if you don't want to but it was Alpha Josh's order not mine."

My arms crossing on my chest I sat in the car stubbornly. Eliz is a heart-warming wolf but not me her human side, nah ah.

"Elle we're not leaving you here for good, Josh wants you to learn their technique, it's part of the deal" Aberdeen chirped in. I seriously despise our Alpha now, how could he do this to me? Opening the car's door, I went out and asked him

"Why me Beta?" I used his title instead of his name which I could see Leto's eyes turning red.

"Don't do that Elle"

Like I said I can be stubborn too and I wanted him to tell me the truth

"Why is it because..." I could feel my eyes burning now but I refuse to cry "I don't have a" not wanting to say it out loud so I mind link him blocking everyone else out "a family, a nobody?"

Hurt was evident in his eyes; he holds both of my shoulders.

"No Elle," his voice rises and in a harsh tone

"Please understand, Josh only trusted us three but you know I'm a beta who is assigned for other business and Aberdeen is our only trainer for the youngsters" his hands squeezing my shoulder as if to assure me that its business not personal.

"We could never turn our back on you, so please Elle we need you on this one," he pleaded.

Seeing me in resolution Leto hugs me then Aberdeen "Know that we're not leaving you here for good, it's just a month Elle" Aberdeen hugs me tighter.

I pull back "Aw just admit it, you guys are happy the third wheel won't disrupt you on the way home" I wink to the both of them making Aberdeen pinch me on the shoulder but it didn't hide her cheeks turning red.
