Werewolf Committee

I stared down at the limp body in shock. My mouth was open ajar and my eyes were as wide as saucers.

"How is that possible?" I gasped as the earth Elemental leaned back up and looked over at me.

"There is plenty of water in the human body. You tell me," he said with a small grin while I stared at him in shock.

He was standing near a dead body and was seriously grinning at me?

Tate stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me back into his chest as he gave the earth Elemental a skeptical look.

"Why are you here?" Tate asked calmly as he shielded me away from Ryan's body.

"Me? Would you believe me if I said Elementals attract one another?" the earth Elemental stated with an eyebrow raised.

I glanced up at Tate with a confused look that we both seemed to share.

The earth Elemental rolled his eyes and sighed as he looked at our questioning gaze.

"Basically, all the Elementals will eventually meet in their life time. Think of it as natures force," he said with a shrug.

I sighed and my shoulders sagged. This mean't that we still had the air Elemental to meet.

Great. Lets just hope he or she doesn't turn out like Ryan.

"You know this how?" Tate asked curiously, his stance on alert as he held me tightly in his arms.

"I'm a middle aged man. I've lived longer and done my research," he replied with a friendly smile.

To be honest he seemed quite healthy for a middle aged man. He had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. Wrinkles were near his eyes, suggesting he smiled a lot in the past.

"Do you need a place to stay?" I blurted out without thinking and the man raised an eyebrow at me.
