A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 14

"He did it again"

I cried in Aberdeen's arms while she rocks me back and forth like a child.

"I thought of giving him a chance but he chose her again over me" I still couldn't control my emotions

"It hurts so much Aber, first off he kills me and now he kills me again yesterday. He left me there to die"

Aberdeen hushes me but I just couldn't stop right away. I didn't know how and when I fell asleep.

I woke up to the sunlight shining through my room's window. I got up from the bed and went to get ready. Looking in my mirror after taking a shower I told myself that I won't let him degrade me again.

Twice is enough, I pick out a high waist skirt that reaches right above my knee and an off shoulder spaghetti top. Then I put on my wedges and did a little bit of my makeup.

Shrieking aloud I scolded her "what the hell Aber?"

My hand is now on my chest trying to calm my beating heart.

"Okay just don't freak out" she pushes me back in the room. "I don't want you to panic over this. I know I should have told you last night but I couldn't"

"Aber just cut it out and tell me what's going on." She half smiles "just don't freak out" I'm seriously running out of patience now "Aber" my voice raises.

"Alpha Eric will be here today, I mean he's not going to be the only one. There will be others," she flashes a smile waiting for my reaction but nothing happens. I know I should be but I won't let it ruin my effort of dressing up today. "What do you mean by others?" she tries to smile "The Cascarade pack" I roll my eyes at the mentioning of that freaking pack's name and Aber stood there in surprise with my reaction.

Lucian and Eric's gazes never left mine but my eyes were focused on the wall. It was the most perfect view at the moment.

Once when all Alpha's were present they started the meeting. I find it boring so I close my eyes and pretended to listen yet I just wanted it to be over with. The room fell silent, I smile to myself 'finally now the head ache is done, time to go.' I open my eyes ready to be out of there but find it strange that everyone is staring back at me.

My body froze and wonder around to look for any sign of Aberdeen or Leto but those stupid heads couldn't be seen anywhere.

"So ladies and gentlemen, apologies but what did I miss?"

The grin never left my face while deep inside I just wanted to disappear.
