Werewolf Committee

Happy {Epilogue}

"Hey Colin," I whispered.

There was no reply.

"I'm sorry I didn't go up and make a speech," I said with a sheepish smile even though he couldn't see me.

"-but I just wanted you to know that I'm grateful for everything you did," I said with a smile and glanced behind me to see Tate leaning on a tree far behind me.

"So is Tate," I whispered.

After a moment or two of silence I stood up and dusted off my pants. Taking a few steps backwards I Iowered my gaze.

"Thank you for everything."

Spinning around I pulled my jacket around myself tighter as I began walking towards Tate.

However, when I almost reached Tate I felt a small change in the wind. It was only for a split second and then there was a small whisper in the air.

You're welcome.

I reached Tate and glanced behind me with furrowed eyebrows.

Shaking my head I looked back at Tate to see him staring at the ground with a blank look.

"Tate?" I whispered and he looked up at me but said nothing.

"Are you alright?" I said worried.

Tate blinked a few times and took in a shaky breath before nodding his head.

I placed my palm on his cheek and caressed it, leaning forward to rest my forehead on his.

Tate closed his eyes and so did I.

"We can have that life you wanted," I whispered, "-to live happily with you're mate and not have anyone trying to kill us."

Tate slightly shook his head. If anything probably not believing me.

"You kept your promise," I insisted and leaned back to see Tate's hazel eyes already focused on me.

"Everything's over now we can be happy," I persisted. Anything to see him smile.

"Can we?" he asked and I smiled nodding my head.

I put my arms around Tate and rested my head on his shoulder. Slowly Tate's arms wrapped around me and he caressed my hair with one hand.

"You know I love you Elina?" Tate murmured in my ear and I hugged him tighter.

"I know. I love you too," I said back and leaned backwards to place a kiss on his lips. Tate held me there and slowly kissed me back. It was slow and full of passion.

"Come on. We should go back inside," Tate gently said and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his side.

We began our way back to the Committee. However I couldn't help but glance back one last time. I also couldn't help but smile.

If Colin was now with his mate that met he feels the way I feel when I'm with Tate? That means he's happy? Safe. Loved.

That was the thought that kept me going and smiling.

When we arrived to the Committee I opened my mouth to speak and comment on the funeral. However an overly excited Eddie came running out of the doors in a fast sprint.

He tripped over and awkwardly stumbled back up before he stopped in front of us panting.

"Eddie? Whats wrong?" Tate asked immediately as he knelt down in front of his little brother and placed his hands on his shoulders.

"I, It just, when I, It," Eddie blabbered out random words and Tate furrowed his eyebrows shaking his head.

"Calm down Eddie. Breath," Tate said as he waited for a reply from Eddie.
