A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 3

After an embarrassing entry I kept on grinning from ear to ear. Aberdeen nudged me on the shoulder asking with concern "Are you okay?"

I answer "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" trying to clear away the embarrassment.

I take a look again at the pack house, which is a two storey.

"Not all pack members live here"

I hear the beta say probably to Leto and Aberdeen since I haven't talk to him due to my embarrassment.

"Apologies this is Elle our top warrior, Elle meet Lucian Kavril, Daluna's beta" Leto introduced us I look and see his hand extended which I shook in return.

He eyes me up and down 'something you like beta' Eliz raises her eyebrow in a flirty way. Seriously this wolf will definitely be the death of me some day.

"I must say the design is extraordinary" my eyes on the pack house again.

"Yeah our Alpha designed it himself" Lucian stood beside me with his eyes now back on the house.

I smile "it's beautiful" Aberdeen pinched me on the shoulder but I couldn't bother because this house really makes me want to own it someday. I know most people want to live in it but I want to own it, there is a difference in living and owning it.

"The alpha is here"

Lucian announced then we heard footsteps coming from inside. I began to get nervous all of a sudden, I keep fiddling my hands.

Aberdeen slaps me on the back

"What?" I whisper yell at her.

"Stop doing that, he's not that bad" she scolded me "besides he is hot except he's you know" she wriggles her eyebrow

"Gay" I retort by finishing her sentence

"No but you'll see" she winks at me making Leto growl "oh honey shush you're my number one," Leto relax's a little as he stood beside her, his hand going around Aberdeen's waist.

"Hey are you okay?" I nodded to him yes, and then my eyes went back to my mate.

His beta went and stood beside him "everyone please meet our Alpha Eric Gibson" Leto shook his hand then he turned to introduce me and Aberdeen.

I smile at him genuinely thanking the moon goddess for sending him back. She has given me another chance in living life.

He gazes at me with coldness evident in his eyes, "sorry for keeping you all standing here," he faces Leto

'Ouch' I wince in my head to Eliz.

Yet I kept on a smiley face for him and everyone else. He talks to Leto my eyes never leaving his. I look behind him my eyes settle on his neck and the smile instantly fell from my face.

"Impossible" I whisper in disbelief of what I'm seeing. A woman came from inside and stood beside him with her hands going around his waist giving us a smile.

Now I see what went wrong those years ago.
