Werewolf Commission

Chapter 3

*Elina's POV*

It wasn't even five in the morning yet. However I sat on a tall stool with a large container of nutella.

I dug the large spoon in, and pulled it back out, with the smooth chocolate following behind.

I placed the spoon in my mouth and closed my eyes as I explored the rich favour.

I glanced down at my oversized belly and sighed.

"You're costing me a few extra kilos," I mumbled as I squirmed in my seat.

Glancing back at my spoon I suddenly felt sick. I groaned as my baby moved around from inside of me.

"Jesus Christ," I breathed out, "-you having some swimming lessons in there?"

Taking in a large breath, I pushed myself up off of the stool and grabbed the nutella.

Screwing the lid back on, I placed it back into the fridge, and after moving away from it, I leaned against the bench and groaned.

I wasn't going to get anymore sleep for the day. That was for sure. The little pup inside of me was constantly awake and moving around, causing discomfort. But then again, I had grown used to it after a few months.

I walked towards the kitchens sink and glanced out the window above it. Outside was still dull and slightly dark as the sun hadn't fully came out yet.

My eyes then trailed to the pot plant that sat on the window seal and I frowned.

The flower in it was dead. The petals faced the soil and the leaves bowed down in defeat. The whiteness of the petals had turned into a disappointing brown colour.

With an even deeper frown, I tilted my head and eyed the dry soil in the pot.

After a few seconds, the soil became moist. I willed for more water to appear in the pot and it did.

However the damage was done. The flower was already lifeless.

As I began to turn around, I felt a sharp pain in my lower belly making me take in a sharp intake of breath.

Feeling movement near my lower stomach, I then felt a gush of energy which made me gasp.

"Elina?" I heard a tired voice that belonged to Tate.

My eyes landed on the dead flower once again. However, after a moment, the leaves began lifting. The brownish colour began to turn back into its original white.

The flower itself slowly began to stand upright and I watched with wide eyes.

I held my breath as it stopped moving.

I eyed the now alive flower in shock.

"Did you..." I trailed off, feeling Tate step closer to me, "-did you see that?"

"I did," he confirmed in an unsure voice. He circled his arm around my body and looked at the flower before glancing at my worn out state.

"Come," he said in a soft tone.

"But Tate-" I began in panic and awe however Tate kissed my lips softly to silence me.

"I know. But you're tired. I can practically feel it. We'll talk about it later."

Not bothering to argue, I sunk into his grip and breathed in his warmth.

It made sense that I was able to fill the pot with water. After all, I was the water Elemental.

However that flower wasn't supposed to come back to life.

I glanced down at my belly and took in a shaky breath.

*Eddies POV*

I felt myself begin to wake up. First I heard the whistles of birds, then I felt the harsh blows of the wind on my skin.

Opening my eyes, I slowly stood up and stretched out my limps as I glanced at the hard ground with a grimace. I then looked around to see all the other boys still fast asleep.

It was still early in the morning and we had an eventful day ahead of us so I didn't wake them. Not just yet.

I opened up my duffel bag and pulled out a raincoat, slipping it on. Rubbing my hands together, I blew in between my palms and shoved my hands into my trousers pockets.

I began walking away from our camping area, deciding to take a walk until the others woke up.

Just a few seconds in, my senses were on alert and I used my enhanced hearing to hear two female voices.

One of them didn't appeal to me at all. However a gentle laugh of the other most certainly did.

Fastening my pace, I walked towards the source of the two voices.

Anticipation pumped through my veins and I suddenly froze.

What if one of them was my mate?

The thought made me take in a sharp intake of breath.

I stood still and glanced behind me at the boys sleeping, before preparing for the two girls who were about to appear from the trees.

The footsteps got closer. The girl who walked in front had dark hair at her shoulders, and her coloured eyes found mine.

"Oh goodie! We've been searching for life around here," she mumbled and I blew out a breath when I noticed she wasn't my mate.

The girl leaned to the side and glanced at the camp behind me and she gasped.

"Oh Everly look! I think we found the Werewolf Commission!" She said in a hushed tone and I raised an eyebrow.

"You're here to join?" I slowly asked, however my gaze trailed towards the girl who stood behind her, her flaming hair catching my attention.

"Yes! We've been traveling here from down the borderline, from north!" she beamed and looked at me, staring at her friend, who's face I couldn't see.

"Oh!" the girl suddenly said, "-I'm Lucy and this is my friend Everly. The two of us are here to join," Lucy explained and linked her arm with the other girls.

The girl laughed as her friend pushed her to stand beside her.

She smiled and looked at me. However once she did her smile disappeared as she stared at me with her mouth slightly open.

I took in a sharp breath and clenched my fists.

That's my mate.

Her green eyes bore into mine and I couldn't look away. Her scent invaded my senses and suffocated me.

Immediately I felt the bond being created as I felt an overwhelming need to be near her.

All in all, she stared at me in silence.

"You're my mate," I lowly mumbled in a daze and Lucy's eyes widened.

She took a step to the side and leaned her head forward.

She blocked my view of my mate and I blinked as she stared at her friend then slowly turned her head over to look over at me.

"Wow!" She gushed, "-you really are mates!"

"I've never seen this so up close," she said in awe and touched her friends face.

I watched with a steady gaze as Everly laughed again at her friend.

She moved her hand away and looked down.

"Lucy," she mumbled almost shyly.

"Oh, right!" Lucy suddenly said, "-I'll leave you two to it. You don't mind if I wake them up and introduce myself do you?" she said, pointing towards the boys.

I didn't shift my gaze from my mates but slowly nodded.

Lucy quickly rushed over to them and my mate took in a sharp breath.

"Lucy!" she called out but was successfully ignored.

Her eyes then looked back into mine.
