A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 13

Everything was a blur, one second Jay tackled down the hunter who came inside the room and the next thing I knew there was screaming within the house. There was cursing, and then gun shots and howls.

'Wait only wolves can howl?' Eliz whimpers.

Footsteps were heard moving to the other side. Metal and furniture in the hallway were being thrown everywhere. Yet I just stood there trying to comprehend on what was going on.

Jay, after killing the hunter who is now lifeless on the ground, grabbed my hand and made our way out of the cage and to wherever he was taking me. I don't fully trust him but he was my only hope to escape for now. We kept running down the hallway, the house was indeed huge. He says he's a human but seriously his speed was of someone who is a werewolf.

When we get to the living room there were bodies lying everywhere that's when I saw a big black wolf who is bathed with blood.

Snarling at Jay, he reminds me of something, I couldn't get a hold of it but I swear I did meet him before. Those cold glare gaze and that astute posture of his as if he is more than ready to snap off my poor head. 'I swear I've seen him somewhere,' Eliz nods in agreement.

Once our eyes met and he quickly averts his gaze to the other side and jumps out of the window along with another brown wolf.

Jay chuckles behind me "Shall we go princess?" he opens up the door.

"Consider this as the day our Alpha just declared war to the whole hunters' clan.... all for a girl."

I look at him dumbfounded "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Come we have to go before the others find us again," he continues to walk but I just stood there. Looking back he sees that I wasn't following behind him and he stops too.

"What?"

"How would I know you won't sell me to other hunters? Are you a spy?" I narrow my eyes at him. "I just saved your ass girl," with that he drags me out of the hunters' place.

When I made it to the front I see Aberdeen training the youngsters and once she saw me she came running towards my direction. Her eyes puffy and red as if she had been crying, crushing me in to a tight hug while crying.

"Oh my God I thought Eric said you died and they couldn't-" she sobbed "Save me right?" I finished.

We walk in the pack house and that's when I caught Eric's scent. He walks out of our Alpha's office and his eyes widen in surprise. I really want to kill him 'Does he want me to be gone, does he really despite me that much', I kept thinking to myself. Before walking up to my room I turn and slap him on the face real hard.

Leto and Josh came out after and they were surprised to see me there, so they did what Aber did to me. I excuse myself heading up to my room ignoring the presence of Eric. Taking a shower is the best thing to do. It was something that I definitely needed after all the dramas.

Aberdeen came in and she looks at me with worry and pity, that's when I broke down.

So I told her everything.
