A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 57

I move closer to whisper in his ear 'what are you doing?' yet he never wipe off his smile.

Claire wipe off her tears as Aaron kept on staring at the two of us, "are you guys okay?" I ask out of nowhere and it brought them to realization that they have been staring at us the whole time we have been here and Eric announcing to them that we are mate.

"Sorry Alpha Eric and congratulations in finding your mate," Claire who was silent got up and went out of there leaving Eric, Aaron and I there in the kitchen.

"So you guys?" Eric ask and I became confuse "I told her I already have a child with Carina," Eric saw me frowning I felt his hand squeezing my hand tighter and has urge for that he will explain later.

"Yeah, she is pissed at that and I also have told her that I am accepting Carina as my mate," he tries to clear his throat but I could hear the hesitation in it. Then it click to me that these two, Claire and Aaron are both mates.

"Look Aaron I will talk to her later and also to you about us" he refers to me and him. Aaron just nods his head in understanding and Eric pull me out of there "where are we going?"

"I'm taking you on a breakfast date" he winks at me leading me to his car. "How do you do it?" I ask while he is driving the car "what do you mean?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"You know, you parading around everyone's pack like you own it," he chuckles "babe I do not parade around it's what friendship offers to you,"

"Are you and Aaron friends?"

"Yep he is one of my best friends and Claire is his mate."

I didn't like it when he says her name "what?" it was his turn to ask me and lean back to my seat.

"Elle, don't tell me you're jealous,"

"No, I am not it's just that I don't like when you say her name trough those lips of yours. Were you guys dating before?" he chuckles.

"You're jealous and babe just for the record we never date. She has a thing for me unfortunately I don't,' the car suddenly stop almost making me hit the dashboard.

"What the hell?" I was to scream at him when I turn and my lips collide with his. He bit my bottom lips and he trails his kisses down to my neck his hands pulling me closer which escape a moan from me.

"I'm sorry, I should have come look for you," I could see guilt in his eyes. "It's okay, you don't need to really, besides we didn't even know I was at the other side of this world" I try not to make things awkward for us.

As if he remembers something he held up my hand kissing my fingers "what if you come with me to the alpha's ball, in that way once they see you found your mate they would all shut up."

Eliz does a happy dance in my head loving the fact my mate has ask me to the Alpha's grand ball. We chat over our breakfast and find out a lot of things about Eric, he has two cousins whom he raises up as his sisters and his parents have died a long time ago.

I really wanted to tell him a lot of things like my nightmares and my past but I just couldn't bring myself to do it as I was not ready. A couple emerge from the entry door when we were about to leave the café the female was pretty much clingy to the man.

"Hello Alpha Gibson" her voice so annoying "Hi there Alpha Hernandez," Eric totally ignore the female making me chuckle from the inside.

"Who is your date?" I wanted to beat her up I mean what is her problem. "She is my mate and it's none of your problem" Eric sneer at her before he turns to Alpha Hernandez "apologies Alpha but I find her question rude."

"I understand Alpha Gibson, Alexis apologise," and the bitch did so. Eric and he talk for a while before we went to look for a dress to wear at the Ball.
