Everything is starting to add up. It explains why Shane isn’t TJ’s best friend and why they are all always together.

“Wow.” I don’t even know what to say.

“Too much?”

I shake my head, “I think we should go to Druk Technologies and you can explain while we’re on the way.”

TJ smiles before pulling me down for a kiss.

“I love waking up next to you,” TJ says between kisses.

“I love you,” I respond.

TJ beams at me and I grin back.

In this moment, I know that I truly belong with TJ, and he belongs with me.

Chapter 19 - TJ

Walking into work with Taylor on my arm fills me with immense joy. All eyes are on us, and I can sense the satisfaction from everyone.

“Looky what we have here,” Damon says. “Don’t you two look cozy?”

I roll my eyes at his look.

“Gather everyone in the meeting room please, we’ve got a lot to discuss,” I say in response.

Damon raises an eyebrow before shrugging and scurrying off.

Taylor and I walk into the meeting room.

“This feels different than the last time I was here,” Taylor whispers to me, and I chuckle.

Last time was when we first saw each other in over ten years. Everyone was tense and held hatred for her, but today they would be learning that we mated. They would have to be supportive, as we all know how important a mate is.

“This time will be better,” I assure Taylor, and she squeezes me hand. “We are in this together, forever.”

“Forever is right.”

Hearing her say those words warms my heart. Taylor is my everything, and I hope she knows that. She will be my everything until I take my last breath.

I lean over and give her a peck on the lips.

“Aren’t you two cozy,” Lex echoes as he and Nic walk into the office hand in hand.

They look the picture of love, and I hope that is what Taylor and I look like.

“We are,” I start, realizing everyone is now standing in the office. “Taylor and I have mated.”

“So she was your mate?” Liam asks with a smile. “I’m glad, brother.”

“We are too,” Nic says. “You make quite the pair. We were a bit worried after the court hearing, but I’m glad you two worked things out.”

“That we did, but speaking of the court case, how are things here?”

Everyone looks at each other.

“Things are great. The case was been dropped, but the news has been everywhere outside,” Lex explains.
