A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 7

'Grandma'

I utter under my breath as I lifted the dress upwards. Seriously this is the 21st century and yet she gave me a dress that someone wore in the 18th century for bedtime. Throwing it back on the bed I peek outside my door to see anyone or anybody in this pack passing by.

How dare she give me this, Claire really knows how to pay back gratitude. Shutting the door again I lay down on the bed. Someone knocks on my door, ignoring it I lay on the bed unmoving. I heard the door creak open and then a footstep, "scissors" I demanded to whoever is in the room.

"For?"

Okay that wasn't a female's voice, sitting up straight I see Lucian leaning towards the door. Picking up the dress I throw it to him which he inspects and that bastard laughs at it like it was the funniest thing in this world.

"Are you kidding me" he laughs again

"Scissors Beta Lucian" he stopped

"Okay fine I'll bring you something else"

I waited for almost an hour before I heard footsteps again he hand's me a pair of jeans and a sweater "thanks" I dismissed him immediately.

When it was time for dinner I began to worry, I mean I don't know how to make conversation with them especially to total strangers. Eliz laughs in my head 'I bet you'll be this goofy weird alien' I shut her up before making my way downstairs and I took my time pretty well.

Everyone's head turns to my direction, my eyes landed on an empty seat beside Lucian so I went and sat beside him. Alpha Eric and Claire came in later and so our amazing dinner begins.

"Oh Elle I see you haven't met your mate" she asks me innocently as her fork digs in to her food.
