Chapter 57

When the elevator opened up again on the bottom floor, I began dragging him into the main lobby. I took one of the mattresses off of a gurney and entry rolled Wesley on it, snuggling a bit closer to him when he stirred. When he finally settled back down and his heart rate slowed considerably, I began dragging the mattress to the lake out back. "Idiot." I muttered as I pushed the mattress out into the water, grinning along with almost half of the pack. "Do you want the honors?" I looked over to Andrew and James, Philip standing besides James along with a girl that looked so much like Alpha Jarred it unsettled me. She caught me staring at her, her eyes widening. She took a step closer to Andrew, who gave her a sad smile. "Emilia, this is my mate Ellen." I tried to give her a smile, but it came out strangled and forced, and she knew it. I shut my eyes as a flashback hit me, my chest hurting as I moved my hand around in circles right in the center. I instantly regretted this prank, but I made my eyes open and a toothy grin appear. "Wesley!" I screamed, causing him to jerk awake from his wolf and flop into the water. I grinned and stepped closer to the edge of the water as he came back up, his eyes scanning the shore. His face was set in a furious scowl until he met me, and his eyes lit up. He swam until his feet hit the floor as he began running, right up until he stood directly before me. He grasped me and spun me around, his lips ever leaving mine as he kissed me. It was fireworks, sparks, my wolf howling in love and adoration at having been away from my mate for so long. I've missed this, missed feeling safe and secure. I could feel my heart racing as his lips touched me over and over, his fingers playing along the edge of his mark. The bastard was teasing me and he damn well knew the pack was right before us so I couldn't do shit "You're a bastard for that." I gritted out to him, smirking at his swollen lips and labored breathing. "That's what you get for thrOWING ME IN THE FUCKING LAKE!" I grinned as I turned to James and Andrew, my eyes glancing over Ellen to Andrews side. It immediately made my heart drop to my stomach, but I just waved it off as much as possible before I slapped another smirk on. "Andrew and James helped-" "Hey!" "We fucking did not!" Wesley let out a teasing growl, causing my heart to stutter. Dear lord did I miss him. I sound like a love sick puppy because, well, I am a love sick puppy. And damn proud. "They watched me bring you down the elevator and didn't say anything." "Run fast, run far." With that, both Andrew, James and I bolted to the pack house with Wesley on our heels. This was nice, this is what I needed, this is my happy ending.
