Werewolf Committee

I held my fathers gaze for a little longer then shifted my gaze towards my mate. Tate.

As much as I wanted to go with my dad and get to know him, I wanted to stay with Tate more. Tate needed me. My father might have as well but my love for Tate was way to strong.

I sighed and almost grimaced at my father's hopeful look.

"I want to get to know you, I really do," I said with a pause as everyone remained silent.

"But-" I began but was cut off.

"-Buts are always a bad sign," Dale sighed softly as he shook his head watching from the corner. I saw Tate shoot him a look and immediately he became silent.

"-I can't go. Not now. But I promise I will, soon."

I tried my best to reject his offer as politely as I possibly could. However I felt guilty when I saw the hopeful look from his eyes disappear.

Immediately Jonathan straightened up and cleared his throat.

"Alright. Thats fine. As long as you're happy," he said with a smile but it didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Joseph and I must be on our way now. Thank you for your services," Jonathan said giving Tate a nod. However Tate still seemed pissed from before and simply stood there unmoving.

I took a few steps forward and looked up at my dad, memorizing his face. Jonathan seemed to do the same before he opened his arms wide and engulfed me in an embrace as our audience stayed silent.

"Take care of yourself, " he whispered in my ear.

Squeezing my shoulders he finally let go and I gave him a sad smile as he left through the double wooden doors, exiting the Committee.

Joseph, my uncle, lingered back for a few moments.
