A Mate for the Latecomer novel Chapter 36

"Eric"

I scream slowly he sinks down to his knees as tears pour from my eyes. "Eric" I drop down to the ground holding his body in to my arms "Eric, why did you do that for?" I sob and he struggled to breathe. I call out for Lucian who in a minute was in front of us. He was shocked to see Eric lying in blood in my arms.

"Please he needs a doctor" quickly Lucian helped me up with Eric's body and rushes to Aaron's pack hospital. Claire whom I think Lucian already linked came running to our direction, her face suddenly looks drain

"What happened?"

I just kept on sobbing without answering. I couldn't believe it! It was supposed to be me but Eric jumped in to save me. Eliz howls in pain, "Eric" Claire pushes me aside and holds him in his arms making Eliz growl and take control of my body.

I couldn't win over her this time as I was shocked with my own emotions. She was in charge of us now; she pushes off Claire and grabs Eric. Aaron with Jay and Josh came rushing back in from the other side of the hospital.

"Elle" Leto stops when he noticed the change in my eyes.

"Eliz, he needs the doctor" Jay tries to calm her down "Mate needs me, heal mate" she cries.

Jeanne with a doctor quickly tended to Eric when Eliz decided to let them take care of him. Aaron tries to come closer but she hisses at him then runs to the opposite direction and out of the hospital looking for the scent of all the remaining hunters. Eliz who completely took control of me was like a whole new different wolf, she was more than a beast she was turning feral.

Once she found them wounded and hiding under a big rock not far from Alpha Aaron's border. She stood before them grinning evilly, as I've said I never saw this side of Eliz and it was kind of scaring me. They didn't see us and before a hunter near us could scream she snapped his head then moved on to the other one. When everyone was killed she stood their howling in victory.

His eyes close and his body lay limp on the ground. What the hell just happened? Zeus wasn't so bad after all it was for his mate, not able to handle his confession I started to cry. Eliz howls again and we look ahead to find Aaron now running in our direction. He drops a blanket over us, and hugs me "Shh everything will be okay" he whispers while rocking me back and forth.

He carries me back to his Pack's territory and to the pack house; everyone looks exhausted in addition to some warriors who were badly wounded on the ground and bodies covered in white sheets. Aberdeen rushes to my side and she hugs me once Aaron let me down gently. I was still in tears as Aber only tried to comfort me, even when we walked inside and she had to help me take a shower and put me to bed.

Eliz insisted on visiting Eric but Aber forced us to sleep, so we did what she wanted as we didn't want a pregnant woman to get mad.

I felt my eyelids heavy 'Later Eliz' I told her and we slowly drifted away.
