A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 70

I went back instead of home and went and stay at the tree house near our Pack house, the one Eric built for me because I was fascinated and wanted to have one on my eleven birthdays instead of a doll house.

I sat by the steps going up to the house thinking of how little I knew of my mate 'maybe I shouldn't let him in that easily, maybe I shouldn't' I heard a footstep then turn to find him halfway through the steps.

"Milly" he looks as if he was crying "can we talk" I scoff standing up from the steps and continue to walk towards the house.

"Milly" his hand held me right back "what do you want?" "just please talk to me' he pleaded and I ended up shouting back at him.

"Talk of what? of how you pretend to be our closed alliance and my brother's friend or the fact that I was just another mate and not forgetting you and Angie betray us."

I threw my hands up "what Zeus? What more lies you want to tell us," he moves towards me.

"I know Milly but please just listen, I wasn't going to choose her, and never meant to betray your brother. I thought Elena was for me and you know when you love somebody you will do anything for that person" I felt a little pang to my heart.

He loves her and all along I thought he loves me but no he doesn't he love his other mate. How can I be stupid to believe in such things call mate, I should have been distant from him instead I did the opposite.

I believe every words he told me I believe it all because I thought you only get to have one mate in your life. Yet it seems like the moon goddess has given him not one but two.

How can I be okay with everything, I don't think I will ever have any trust in him? "You never told me you have another mate" I folded my arms turning back on him "you never told me anything about yourself, about your true self Zeus.

Angie is your what f buddy" 'we were not f buddies or anything' his voice in hoarse raising at me.

"I was on the verge of accepting the darkness and choose other people's will without even finding my own self. Not until I met you and you show me nothing but kindness you were the light in my darkest time and for every moment we spend together I wanted to last and stay there forever. I want that because I fell in love you not just the mate thinging but everything about you."

I stood there not knowing what to do or say, Zeus has confessed his love for me I should have forget everything he was to do and run into his arms but I couldn't.

I was stuck that I do not know if I want to believe it or not. I am disappointed in not knowing anything about him before; he shouldn't have left me in the dark just like that only to try and explain now ith his feelings.

Because now all I am feeling is disappointment in everything of my mate and myself for falling in his arms so easily.

I shouldn't believe in those fairy tales I turn back up and walk up to the tree house shutting the door in his face and this mate bond we have.
