It has been nearly a week since Makena had stayed at Burkendall town and it was time for her to leave for Cairin Oaks.
On the last night before her departure, she had spent the time with Hamish, where they went on a date; dinner and movie. Hamish thought of this because he knew that Makena had never experienced this kind of life before. Her childhood was basically stolen so he had thought to at least make her experience the teenage love life. Other than that, they even went for a run, shifting to their wolf forms, sprinting through the forests, feeling in the fresh air.
So, the next morning, since Erick, Hamish and Jeayan had classes, they could not send her off. There were many times when Hamish tried to sneak out and even skip school because he wanted to be there when Makena went back.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn't strong enough for the triplets. Fergus had already warned them about a certain young shifter who might be against the fact that he has to stay in school, instead of being with his mate. So, the Beta further asked for the triplets' assistance to make sure that the young shifter stays in school.
Earlier that morning when Erick was about to pick Hamish up from his house to go together to school, the latter had told him that he will go to school later.
Erick just nodded and set off for school. But he knew Hamish. Go to school later? More like skipping school! But then again, he wasn't going to get involved and will pretend to be oblivious. He doesn't want to be that concerned over Hamish's affairs when seeing Amber was more important than that.
Hence why Erick was amused when he saw Hamish being escorted to their homeroom by Roel, who held Hamish's collar from behind, as if he was carrying a mischievous child.
Erick held back his laughter when he saw the unwillingness on Hamish's face after the latter was being pushed inside by Roel. The former continued to watch as Hamish grudgingly walked his way to his seat.
Hamish glared at Erick before sitting.
Erick turned his face away, pretending to look somewhere else.
Amber, who had been watching the whole scene as an avid spectator, turned around in her seat and asked her boyfriend, "What's wrong with him?"
"His girlfriend is going home today," Erick casually replied. He then took a glance at his wristwatch and said, "Right now, to be exact."
Amber nodded in understanding. "Oh, I see."
Hamish just sat down, ignoring the whispers that surround him. He felt downhearted that he wasn't able to see Makena off. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/his-human-mate_14915762706180805/chapter-166-goodbyes_50921294211897809 for visiting.
Amber looked at Hamish and then said to Erick, "Though, it's quite a surprise to see him like this. He's always been so cold. But now…" it was her first time seeing Hamish looking so dejected. He usually puts on a serious face, other than an annoyed face.
Erick rolled his eyes and said, "Just ignore him."
Hamish's sorrowful presence continued on until afternoon where they were at the McClay's, having their snack while studying.
Half of the diner was filled with students from the Burkendall Highschool, hence it was quite rowdy and noisy inside. But the owner and the other patrons of the diner did not mind the racket at all. Instead, they were happy and pleased to see the teenagers enjoying themselves. It helps when some of the other patrons were closed with some of them, especially with Erick and Hamish.
So, when an elderly person walked over to Erick's table, he was surprised to see the sad look on Hamish's face that he asked Erick what had happened.
It seems like it wasn't only Amber but they too were stunned that Hamish can show a dejected look on his face.
Erick just shrugged as he swiped some of Hamish's fries. "He's heartbroken," he replied nonchalantly. Seems like the latter has no appetite, hence why he did not get angry when Erick stole some of his fries.
Amber slapped her boyfriend's hand, admonishing him for taking advantage of Hamish's sadness.
Erick just rolled his eyes as he continued to eat his food with his notebook placed wide open in front of him.
The elderly man then smacked Hamish on the back, a couple of times, as if he was trying to comfort the young man. "Don't worry, boy," he said. "There are other fishes in the sea!" The elderly man doesn't know that they were shifters so he did not understand the concept of having a mate, thinking Hamish was just a normal teenager.
Hamish immediately turned his head, facing the elderly man with a glare. "I don't need any other fish! She's mine!" he snarled.
Erick then smacked him on the head. "Respect your elders," he scolded. In a low voice, he continued, "Control your emotions or I'll hit you once more until you understand what control is."
Hamish went quiet. He knew that Erick was getting annoyed by the serious tone he had used on him.
They continued to do their work; studying and revising while eating. Other than them, there were also several of their friends from school, mostly those from the football team. This was because they wanted to get the best marks that they could achieve so that they can join the final match in a couple of months.
The 'studying' continued on until late at night. Since Latham was currently getting more treatment from Melody after Makena had sent over more of her blood, there wasn't any practice. At first, Hamish protested when Makena gave them her blood. But Makena told him it was fine. Lachlan and Fergus, too, wanted to refuse her, not wanting her to sacrifice more of her blood and worried that she might get weak from the loss of blood.
Again, she reassured them it was fine. For her, this was nothing. She had her blood taken a lot more than these when she was locked up in that mansion.
A couple of hours later, when Erick had finally returned home, he was surprised to see there were people inside their living room. His parents, the Beta, the triplets and the pack doctor were all there, wearing a solemn look on their faces. Erick knew that something serious was going on. He was curious but since he saw the warning look that his father had given him, he decided to not intrude.
Saying goodnight to them, he quickly rushed up to his room.
Back in the living room, once they were sure that the young shifter was inside his room and was not eavesdropping on them, they continued their conversation.
"I'll depart first thing tomorrow morning," Latham announced.
Lachlan nodded.
Melody, who was standing next to her mate, held his other hand and gripped it tight. Her eyes became watery after she had heard his announcement.
Luella immediately walked over to Melody's side and patted her shoulder in comfort.
That morning, after Makena had left, Latham went for another checkup and instead of healing, they were surprised to see that the healing process became worse. It wasn't sure as to what had happened but when Isaiah Cairin had heard what had happened to Latham, he instantly told Lachlan to bring Latham to them.
It was the least he and the Cairin pack did after the Kendall pack had saved Makena. And that the symptoms sounded familiar to Isaiah. It was one of the rare side effects that would happen when another pack used the blood of the Cairin pack.
It was unsure how long Latham might have to stay at Cairin Oaks, but he was ready to stay there until his hand was healed.
Since she was the pack doctor, she could not follow him. Instead, one of his brothers, Noaz, will be joining Latham to accompany him.
As for the training, ever since the arrest, Roel hadn't done much work. He was still working but not so much as before. It was not sure whether the owner of the restaurant no longer trusted him but rather, Roel himself requested for lesser days. Hence, it was agreed that Roel will replace Latham in the young shifters' training.
Lachlan patted Latham on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself there." he then turned to Noaz, "Protect each other."
"Yes, Alpha!"
