A Girl Called Tempest

Epilogue

The  three weeks that I stayed at my grandma's house were a living nightmare of fighting and men being shoved at me like projectiles. Fey hadn't said shit to me in three fucking weeks, I didn't have any friends and my wolf has stopped speaking to me and I don't know why. Why? BECAUSE SHE WASN'T SPEAKING TO ME! So here I am, three weeks later with not one call or text from my friends! How dare they just go and foreget about me! And JAY! WHAT THE HELL! Nothing from any of them in THREE WEEKS! This is me being pathetic and eatting trail mix whatching first season reruns of Once Upon A Time. I really wish I could be cool like Graham! I had picked all the raisons out of the trail mix about an hour earlier because I freaking bored. Stupid friends, the minute you're out of sight they forgety you exsist! Fuck them! I bet Fey was having the time of her life, well see if I ever speak to you again! HAH WHAT ABOUT THAT!! Oh god what pathetic level am I at now? 9,000? Heh that was good pun.

So when the doorbell rings I'm a angry, female, pesimist. I yank it open and snap at the person, not caring who it is. It's Jay, well that changes the whole thing doesn't it?

"GOODBYE!" I shriek and slam the door, he stops it with one hand, DAMN HIM!

"Tempest? Why are you yelling?" He sounds confused.

"Oh just go away. I'm not in the mood."

"Tempest what the hell?"

"I was just about ask you that? Three weeks bud, THREE WEEKS of nothing and then here you are acting as if everything is fine!"

"Shit, it's not...I mean I'm sorry but I've been really busy, I was gonna come out here to see you but things changed okay."

"Then tell me boy, tell what was so important you forgot to say hi in a text. What was so urgent that not once could you tell Fey to talk to me for you?" I started to get really angry as stupid embarassing tears began to drip, "Why not once did you just say you were alive! I was completely right! The moment you are out of sight they drop you like a dead fish. I should never have let just take me by surprise, I set up rules to stop this very thing!"

"Tempy I-"

"Rule One!" I cut off, "don't let them call you beautiful! Rule Two, don't let them comfort you!"

"Pretty girl listen to me I was-"

"Rule three, don't show fear! Rule four," I was cry full out now, "don't let them become your best friend! Rule Five, always keep your distance."

"I was made-"

"Rule Six, always keep your distance. Rule Seven, stay away from there smiles. Rule Eight, never let them see you at your darkest."

"I WAS MADE ALPHA!" It stopped me short.

"oh." I stepped back away from him.

"I tride to okay, but every single moment I was busy. Every night I'd get home at one and figured you'd be asleep. I came when I had finished setting things right ok."

"But how? I though Spark?"

"Spark is second in the line I'm first seeing as the alpha had no surviving kids."

"Oh." I said again and backed up more, then he pulled me into a hug.

"Pretty girl you keep getting away from me."

"Yeah, I guess I do." Embarassed now I pull away and pat his head.

"You know I figured it out."

"Figured out what?"

"That this is real?" he held my face in his hands, "that 200 miles of distance are not going to stop me."

"How'd you figure it out?"

"Then moment you took me by surprise and then left. I realised something."

"What?"

"There's a reason why wolve's don't know who there mate is until a key moment in the realasionship."

"What reason could that be?"

"Because the realasioship has to be strong for it to work. It has to be real love otherwise it's just the bond telling you love them when you mind is screaming the oposite. Otherwise you could have the best mate but the worst realshionship possible and thats basically torcher to the both of them. That's why I never truly realised that loving you is just one of those things, that this bond is reall that we were ment to work and look at us we're working!"

I stared.

"S-s-so this isn't..."

"Nope it's definetly more than just a passing fling pretty girl as if you ever be something that fleeting." He grinned.

I kissed him to best of my ability, he leaned down and that did help. I pushed all the shit I had gone through in the past weeks into that kiss, which should be really been our first, it felt like the first. With none of the fear of loss and heartbreak the whole thing changes. I put all of this into that one kiss, all the desperation and anger. He kissed back and I felt his, the fear, the anger, the very very paraleled need.

"Pretty girl please come back with me, come back home."

"I-I can't my grandmother..."

"Are you happy here?"

"No."

"Were you happy back home?"

"Yes."

"Then leave a note."

"Seriously?" I looked at him.

"Completely."

"Okay." I whispered shocked at what I was about to do.

"Let's go pack anything worth while." He pulled me by the hand up the stairs then paused, "This place is way too big!"

"This is my room." I said in a quiet voice. Showing him the bedroom. Swiftly I pulled out a suitcase and opened it to reveal my unpacked luggage of three weeks.

"I just couldn't bring myself to unpack them, I didn't want to it felt like I was making this part of life way to perminent."

"I'm glad you didn't but you need more clothes than this." We spent a swift fifteen minutes packing and when finally we were done I picked up a picture of me and my parents when I was three, putting it in my bag. I then pulled out my allowance of three weeks which was a good twenty bucks, clipped it with my note I was writting in repayment for the frame and wrote down the most loophole free goodbye note ever.

"You ready?" He asked. I nodded.

"Let's get the hell out of here!"

We ran to the train station where we waited for an hour as the only train to home was arriving. I grinned and turned to him when it pulled up.

"Gran should be home any minute now."

"Who cares?" He said kissing my on the nose.

We boreded and showed our newly bought tickets and sat down. It was long, almost five hours, but it was fun. When gran began to call every five minutes I wiped my phone clear of all information and handed it to a homeless woman. I told her to change the number or just sell I didn't care. She grinned and so did Jay.

When I got tired I curled up like a cat in his arms. Thinking a great deal of nice things and how I wasn't even mad at Fey anymore. I was the lucky bitch today!

I wouldn't nessisarily say it was sailed off into the sunset type of thing more like rattled off to rainsoaked home where I could be a real person instead of a fragile doll.

In any case, I broke all my rules and fell in love, I'm better now and I have a fucking wolf! I think she's currently try not to swoon too hard... :)

(A/N) *sobs into pillow* oh my god that was hard to write! BUT YAY I COMPLETED ANOTHER BOOK! YES WOOT WOOT! You wanna know the funny part? This origonally started as a rage against weak-willed female leads in werewolf stories where the male is WAY too dominent. Those always have too much angst in them for my taste...
