He's Broken

Chapter 4: The essay

"What are you thinking about?" Thomas asked as he organized his finished chem project. 

"I'm trying to figure out how I want to structure my essay." I lied. 

"Liar." He said catching it. "You know you can't lie to me so why even try?" Thomas sat next to me on his large queen sized bed. I sighed before sitting up and checking out my now very interesting pajama pants, my face was burning. "Talk to me sweet pea." Thomas said softly. 

"Well...Nyx, my wolf, and I were talking earlier....and we kind of discovered something.." I said still looking at the pants. 'Oh look a new hole to play with!' I thought as I stuck my pinky nail in the tiny hole stretching it out a bit.

"And what would that be?" He asked taking both my hands in his. 

"We..um......aaaaa..um....thinkyouandIaremates." I said in a  rushed and hushed tone. 

"Sorry what was that?" Thomas asked with a low growl. 

"Nyx thinksyouandIaremates." I said just as rushed but a little louder.

"Maya." Thomas growled. 

"Uggghh." I pouted. "Nyx and I think that you and I are mates." I cried out softly taking my hands from his and shoving them in my armpits waiting for him to laugh it off. 

..............Thomas POV...............

"We.....um......aaaaa...um...thinkyouandIaremates." Maya said too fast and soft for me to make out her words. It wasn't like her to lie to me, or hide her face when she talked to me. 

"Sorry what was that?" I asked with a low growl. I didn't like the way she was hiding from me.

"Nyx thinksyouandIaremates." She said still rushed but a bit louder, it was still to difficult to understand what she was trying to get out. 

"Maya." I growled.

"Uggghhh." She pouted in frustration. "Nyx and I think you and I are mates." She stubbornly huffed before wrenching her hands from mine and shoving them in her pits, she was looking at the bed, her dark hair covering her face. Then I registered what she said. She thinks she's my mate, I smiled proudly having felt the same for a while. I pulled her into my arms and put my face in her neck, she always smelled so damn good too. 

(I would be luck to have her wolf as my mate.) Deimos said. 

"I'm so happy you said that sweet pea, Deimos and I have suspected we were mates since the day we came here." I said crushing her in my embrace. 

"Really?" She asked. 

"100% honesty." I said pulling away, she was smiling up at me shyly, her eyes glossy with unshed tears. "I want to show you something, close your eyes." She did as I asked with out hesitation which made both my wolf and I happy, she trusted us blindly. I put my hands on the sides of her head and set my forehead on hers. I showed her my memory and thoughts from the day we arrived at the academy. 

............Flashback.................

(I want Maya as our mate.) My wolf Deimos said as he paced worriedly. 

'I do too.' I confessed. I've been wishing Maya was my mate since the first time I shifted, she had tried to take away by the pain by kissing me. She was my first kiss, and my first love, hopefully she is my first girlfriend, my first date, my first time, my mate, my future wife and mother of my pups, my entire universe. I want it all to be Maya.

............End Flashback.........

Maya POV 

When Thomas showed me his memory and his thoughts from the day we arrived I was speechless. I sat on his bed not knowing what to do. 

(His wolf has a sexy voice.) Nyx commented, making me giggle. I looked up at Thomas who was smiling softly at me. One moment I was sitting like a proper-ish female, the next my lips were on his. 

'Oh s**t was that me?' 

(That was all you, I must say I'm proud of your initiative.) Nyx purred. 

This kiss ended when I pulled back in embarrassment. Thomas growled and pulled me back and put his lips back on mine in a soft and sweet kiss. This time when it was over we looked at each other, both of us happy to have one another. 

"We should work on our english essays before we get too carried away." He said deeply. 

"That's a grand idea Tommy." I said before kissing his cheek. 

He smiled at me and we got our english papers, I was in advanced classes seeing as I had began schooling here at 12 that meant I had a classes with Thomas. Our english class was a creative writing class, our 'essay' actually was to be more like a story. We had to find an object we held dear to our hearts and explain why it was so important and write down a specific memory you had with the object along with a memory you hope to see your object in. 

"I call using Suri." Thomas said grabbing my stuffed Lemur from his pillows, that he asked me to leave in his room a year ago. For some reason he loved it as much as I did. 

"Fiiiiinnne." I said fake annoyed he smiled dashingly before taking Suri to the desk with him. I thought for a moment before deciding to use something he had given to me. I didn't tell Thomas what I used as I wrote out my essay, writing came easily for me, so unlike others I didn't use outlines. I organized everything in my head before writing it down on the paper. I was once again done before Thomas so I put all my materials in the desk drawer he left empty for my things. I put the completed essay along with my history homework in Thomas's bag seeing as mine was in my room, I had went back to where I shifted before going to my room earlier and brought it back with me. 

"Done." Thomas said putting his papers in a neat pile on his desk, we both went to his bed and layed down curling up with one another. "Curfew is in 20 sweet pea."

"Just a moment." I said relaxing on his chest. He ran his hand up and down my back, his soft lips rested on my forehead as we relaxed. After about 5 minutes I sighed and got up reluctantly, I walked over to his dresser and took off his pajama pants and pulled my jeans back on before folding his pants and putting them back in his drawer. 

"C'mon." He said putting his arm around my shoulder. I grabbed his bag and we left his room closing the door on the way out. "You didn't tell me what you wrote your essay on." He said as we left his building. 

"It's a surprise." I said putting my right arm around his waist. 

"I hate surprises." He pouted. 

"No you don't," I said pfffttt-ing and giggling. "At least not mine." I said flipping my hair with my free hand. 

"Grrr." He said. I laughed loudly before leaning on his strong bicep. I felt so tiny compared to Thomas seeing as I was only 5 ft 6 and he was 6 ft 3. Luckily I still had time to grow where Thomas was nearly done. When we got to my dorm we saw Dylan making out with a new wolf. She looked up when Thomas cackled, her face went red before she quickly introduced us to her new boy toy. 

"Thomas, this is Matias, son of Alpha Santiago in Colombia. Matias this is Thomas, son of....we don't actually know do we?" She said snarkily.

"You hardly know anything." I said rolling my eyes.

"Yes, Dylan I know who my father is." Thomas said squeezing my side.

After a month of being at the academy Thomas began training in his wolf form with the council members while I watched. One of them, the oldest, Samuel told us who Thomas's father is. 

................Flashback................

I watched as Thomas's large wolf squared off against a larger black wolf with a grey-ing muzzle. Thomas fought hard but ended up losing, he put his head down and meandered over to me and set his head in my lap. I pet him softly and kissed his black nose, he licked his nose then mine. I giggled and rubbed under his chin. The black wolf shifted into Samuel who walked over with a robe for Thomas. 

"Shift Thomas, I have some things to tell you." Thomas did as he was told, I covered my virgin eyes while he slipped the robe over his naked body. "Come to the meeting chambers, it's much more comfortable than sitting on the grass."

"Can I bring Maya?" Thomas asked pulling me off the ground.

"That is up to you." Samuel said, Thomas took my hand and smiled down at me before we followed Samuel to the council's meeting room. We sat down on across from Samuel's assigned seat. "Tell me Thomas, do you know anything about your parents?"

"No, I can only remember that I have my mom's hair." Samuel nodded. 

"Thomas your father is the notorious Alpha Flint Maverick." Both of our jaws dropped. Flint Maverick was known to be extremely harsh, he was a great alpha, he kept his pack safe and treated them with respect, but to other Alpha's he was rude and condescending, from what I'd heard he found his mate and she ended up passing away a few years later from breast cancer. She was a human, her heart was made of pure gold yet she had the vocabulary of a drunken sailor. 

"Is that why Thomas's wolf is large?" I asked. 

"Yes and no, I'll get to that in a moment though." Samuel said smiling kindly at me. "Another pill to swallow is that my name is Samuel Maverick and Flint is my eldest son." Thomas's eyes went wide before he began to hyperventilate. 

"Tommy, calm down." I said squeezing his hand. It took him a minute but he eventually relaxed and nodded at me. 

"So your my grandfather." Thomas said. "How long have you known?" 

"I confirmed my suspicions today, but I've guessed since the day at Wandering Moon, when I saw your wolf for the first time."

"Why my wolf?" 

"A long time ago there were more than just werewolves, there were another breed as well, the lycans. Normally lycans and werewolves stayed to themselves, that was until the last female Lycan named Leanna was mated to a werewolf named Czar. They had two pups, only one survived long enough to have a pup of their own. With each generation the lycan blood enhanced our wolves, I believe that is why you shifted early Thomas, the past four generations of our family has seen the lycan gene get stronger and stronger. That is the reason you are so large and already have a lot of power."

"Do you think that means lycans will eventually be brought back into existence?" I asked. 

"That is exactly what I think it means Maya." Samuel said offering me a kind smile. "I know this is much to ask, but I would like if you kept the lycan part of this conversation to yourselves." 

"I would never expose Tommy." I said defensively, "Lycans went extinct because of how powerful they were right? People would come after him if they knew what he is." Samuel seemed pleased while Thomas looked more like he had seen an angel in person. 

"I would never knowingly put a target on my own back." Thomas said. "But I would also like to keep the rest of this conversation between us, I don't want people to treat me differently because my father is a notorious asshole, no offense pops." Samuel laughed loudly. 

"I know my son is an ass, so none taken." 

"Your secret is safe with me." I said.

"I know." Thomas said squeezing my hand and smiling down at me. 

............End flashback.............

"And who is this fireball?" Matias asked in his rich Colombian accent. 

"This is Maya, daughter of Alpha Penn of Wandering Moon." Thomas said possessively. 

"I've heard of your father, he is a good man." Matias said. 

"Uh huh." I said rolling my eyes, in my opinion my father was the worst kind of wolf in the world. "C'mon Tommy." I said pulling Thomas past them. 

"How come she can call you Tommy and not me?" Dylan asked furiously. 

"Because I say so." Thomas said as we kept walking. We went to my room and I let us in before sighing and pulling my work out of his bag and putting it in mine. "Maya?" Thomas asked as he sat on my medium full sized bed. 

"Yeah?" I asked walking over and sitting next to him.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked taking my hand in his. 

"I would be honored to be your girlfriend Tommy." I said smiling and looking into his eyes. He beamed me before placing a small kiss on my lips. 

"I've got to go before we get in trouble." He said before standing up and leaving the room. 

"Goodnight Tommy." I said slipping out of my jeans and crawling between the sheets. 

"Goodnight love." He responded closing my door. I fell asleep happy, I had a boyfriend one who I would get married to, have pups with, and spend the rest of my life beside. My mate, MY Tommy.
