A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 33

So I ended up staying, I wasn't convinced by Aaron and his feelings but I think I want to be okay with everyone, besides I think I like Aaron.

Here I am in the kitchen for the first time in history having breakfast with the others. I wanted to do this even though they deserved to be cursed and befall a treacherous fate but I wanted to take the high road. 'Oh moon goddess bless this poor child for being a saint' Eliz has been singing that in my head. I say this wolf loves to annoy me.

"If we are to be attacked again then we should be well prepared" Eric starts and I thought I could enjoy my breakfast without training or Rogues and whatever.

"I'll train them harder" Claire chirps in "Isn't that supposed to be my job?" I said without looking up.

"I'll train them" she stood her ground

"Shouldn't you be worried about your health?" she laughs at me and everyone around the table turns to look at me.

I know everyone is surprised to hear my concerns on her but isn't she's carrying? I put down my spoon "I thought she's pregnant, and it's too risky to train others in that state at least that's what I heard" Eric became stiff while the others seemed to move around as if I had said something wrong. Aaron lifted his head narrowing his eyes at me along with a look of disappointment.

"Her baby was killed when you guys were kidnapped together" Aaron explains

"Ohhhh" I retort like someone who just remembered the right answer. It disturbs me when Lucian scowls at me "You want to say something Lucian."

Everybody in the room was silent and I still taunt Lucian "What is it Lucian, you know that you're getting annoying?" he scoffs "Excuse me" he glares at me

"Yeah excuse you" I roll up my eyes

"they lost a baby and you just-" he throws up his hands with disbelief. "You're unbelievable" he said to me

"Excuse me my child is not a creature" Jeanne the nurse whom I met at the hospital came and snatched the baby from me and only for the little one to start crying again. She put him in my arms again and this time the young infant smiled

"Oh yah don't smile" I keep repeating for three times only to hear Claire complaining "I cannot believe this" they all began to talk at once but the little one caught my attention.

His hands reaching up and I held him up close; he touches my nose then smiles. It made me smile, all those horrible experiences when I watched a doctor cut a baby shower in blood from the Cascarade Luna's pack when I was ten disappeared.

This one made me smile and I cannot believe I'll say this but he is so adorable. When he fell asleep I hand him over to Jeanne. The door busts open, heavy footsteps were heard then a warrior in blood was accompanied by Aaron's warriors follow by Jay.

He lifted his head "They have attacked the Cascarade and no one survived."
