Page 150 of My Broken Mate
Eve ignores all the moaning and complaints, and instead shuffles everyone around the table. He turns to look at us. “What’s taking you two so long? You can flirt later! Come here for the picture.”
Remus lets go of me and takes my hand, kissing me briefly. “We are coming.” He kisses the side of my head softly. “Let’s imprint this onto our memories.”
He is right.
When he leads me to the rest of the group, my heart makes a few leaps of joy. This is my life now. I have friends and family in my corner, and I have a mate who will always have my back, who trusts me enough to share his darkest secrets with. Someone I feel so safe with, I can tell him anything, even my own darkest secrets and fears.
This is the love and life I was always longing for.
Now that I have it, it might be scary sometimes, but instead of freaking out at what could be, I will cherish every single moment with them. Remus and I have the power to shape our futures and build the life we want to. That thought alone makes my head spin in the best way possible. We have so many options, and we are finally in the place where we have the power to make our own decisions.
I am positive that we’ll be moving forward from now on. I know that if I am with Remus, I am alright.
We are alright.
