He's Broken

Chapter 3: The academy

......Maya POV.........

I was sitting in my world history class at 10:30 in the morning when my body began to heat up. I instantly left the room and rushed out of the closest exit before I fell over groaning as a million knives plunged themselves into my gut. I began shaking as my bones began snapping and reshaping one by one. I finally screamed as furs began pushing through my skin. I layed on the cool pavement in the mid- September morning, trembling from the pain of my first shift. It's been 3 years since Thomas and I came to the academy. I was now 15 and finally able to meet my wolf. 

(Hello Maya.) My wolf purred into my head. 

'Hello! Ohmygod I've been waiting to meet you for so long! What's your name?' I yelled into my mind giving myself a headache. 

(It's nice to officially meet you, my name is Nyx.)

'I love your name Nyx.' I said much calmer, I finally stood up on my furry legs and began walking, I was wobbly at first, but quickly got the hang of it. I ran to a window and dropped my jaw at my wolf, she was a gorgeous black wolf with dark grey paws, underside, and a light grey spot in the shape of a wolf head on my right flank. I looked into my own golden eyes and yipped happily, a second pair of eyes joined me at the window, only they were emerald green. Deimos was now a huge wolf 6 ft 2 from the pads of his paws to the tips of his ears, I was large for a she wolf nearly at his head, that meant Nyx was probably 5 ft 10, much larger than my 5 ft 6 human form. I turned to the large brown wolf attached to the eyes and yipped at him before playfully nipping his right shoulder and running off. We ran into the woods and up to the top of the closest mountain before we howled together. 

(I like this wolf!) Nyx yipped in my head. 

'That is Thomas and his wolf Deimos, I am begging that the moon goddess crafted the heavenly wolf for us.' 

(I like his smell, he already smells like apple pie.) 

'Do you think he could be ours?!' I asked her hopefully. She thought for a moment before answering.

(Yes, I believe he is ours Maya.) I smiled at the thought of being with my Tommy forever. 

I nudged him before trotting back to the school, Thomas was hot on my heels. When we got back Zenon and Council member Fredrick were waiting for us with dark green robes. Thomas shifted back effortlessly while mine was incredibly painful. I felt my head in a lap, I smiled up at Thomas who was stroking my head gently while smiling back down at me. 

"Your wolf is stunning Maya." He said softly, he helped me slip the robe on before aiding me to stand up on my shaky legs. Thomas now stood in at 6 ft 3, he was extremely well muscled and healthy looking. His brown eyes had a light I had never seen in them in our pack. His dark blonde hair had lighter blonde highlights which added to his sexiness. His smile was jaw dropping, his brown eyebrows were a few shades darker than his hair, it worked well on his sharp, rectangular jaw. His thin lips were always a light shade of pink peach, his pointed nose just worked on his face, along with his hooded eyes added to the allure of this incredible specimen of a man. 

"Congratulations on your first shift Maya." Zenon said. 

"Thank you Sir Zenon." I responded bowing my head. My loose black hair fell into my face, I quickly pushed it away before smiling in embarrassment.  

"Your wolf is very rare indeed, the size tells us that you both are true Alphas," Fredrick said kindly. "Thomas, why are you not in your lesson?" 

"Sir, Maya was the only one with me when I shifted for the first time, I had a feeling in my gut so I followed it to Maya's wolf. I was late for her shift, but I wanted to be there for her shift back, I remember how much pain I was in, I also remember my only friend trying to take away my pain." I smiled and blushed lightly at the memory of my first kiss. 

"I see, I'm glad you both have someone to rely on, now both of you go get on some clothes and head to dinner." We nodded and gave one another a quick hug before walking to opposite ends of campus. The council was adamant on wolves waiting for their mates so the male and female dorms were as far from each other as possible. On my walk to my room I nearly ran into Dylan Moore, the daughter of Alpha Peterson in Malibu. She has had a sick obsession with Thomas since she saw him over power her old boyfriend Carlisle Emmet, son of Alpha Bay Emmet. 

"Maya." She sneered, she hated me for the fact that I was the one of the few people Thomas actually liked. 

"Dylan." I said continuing on my way. I went to my room and took a quick shower before throwing on a random pair of underwear along with blue skinny jeans and a grey hoodie I stole from Thomas, it went to my mid thighs and I had to role up the sleeves. I brushed out my long black hair and left it down, my jade green eyes looked stunning on my golden beige skin. I smiled at my skin, to some it was pale, but I always felt tan compared to the fair skin of Thomas. I slipped my phone in my back pocket before heading to the dining hall and grabbed some roast beef and mashed potatoes. I went to my usual seat next to Thomas who was sitting down, once I sat down he began to eat. 

A wolf named Xavier who was 17 like Thomas came over and sat with us so did his brother, who was my age, Christian. 

"Hello you two." Christian said taking a seat. I waved and focused on my food, Thomas and I both hated small talk while we were eating, which people came to realize quickly. Thomas and I sat so that our legs touched under the table, we always did. When we first got here people still insulted Thomas and abused him mentally, physically only when we were training. 

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

"I don't get it." He had said so brokenly I began crying. "This place is just like the pack."

"Tommy look at me." I had said, we were in his room treating a few broken ribs and a black eye. He looked up at me and instantly guilt covered his face when he saw my tears. "You can get them back. Eat and bulk up, then train harder than anyone else, you can become the best of all of us. You WILL be the best of us Tommy." He had given me a small smile and stood up before pulling me into his small chest. 

"Thank you for never giving up on me sweet pea." He spoke softly. 

"I'll never give up on you Tommy, you're my favorite wolf in the world. Well you and Lenny." I said back. He held me tighter and sighed into my neck. 

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

"Hey Tommy." Dylan said slinking over. He snarled at her his eyes going black, she stopped in her tracks and took a step back. 

"Don't ever call me that again." He said while still snarling. "My name is Thomas." Dylan nodded and gulped. I could feel his Alpha power radiating off him in waves along with his anger, I put my hand on his leg and he calmed down, taking a few deep breaths before looking at me and nodding once. 

"Hello Dylan." Xavier said trying to ease the lingering tension. 

"Xavier, Christian." She said with a stiff nod, she advanced over to Thomas cautiously and sat on his other side. "So Thomas, what are you doing later?" She asked gaining some confidence when he didn't move. He stayed silent not replying, I handed him one of the four grapes I had, he took it happily then took another one with a mischievous smile. I fake glared at him and he smiled down at me before finishing his potatoes. "Did you hear me Thomas?" Dylan asked in a whiny voice. 

He huffed and kept looking at his food, I rolled my eyes at him and looked at Dylan who was pouting at him and ignoring me completely. 

"Sorry Dylan, Thomas isn't fond of speaking when there is food on his plate, he and I are studying later." I said trying to get rid of her. 

"Studying is so boring, wouldn't surprise me it you decided it for him." She sneered. Bad idea. Thomas snarled and whipped his head in her direction, she fell out of her seat in the panic she felt from angering him. I noticed both Xavier and Christian were slinking away as well. I grabbed Thomas's arm with one hand and placed the other on his back.

"If you ever speak to Maya like that again, I wont hesitate to put you in your place." Thomas snarled. He turned back around and put his far hand on mine, the one that was on his arm. He took a few deep breaths and a few more before pulling me into a hug. I held him and put my face in his shoulder, he took a couple of deep breaths of my hair before releasing me from his arm cage and sighing.

"You're terrifying." Christian said, his dark blue eyes still wide in fear. 

"I think I s**t my pants." Xavier said numbly. Christian smelled him and began laughing but covered his mouth as Xavier got up and went to go change his pants. 

"Sorry Zay." Thomas said guiltily. 

"I'll get you back for it." He said leaving us. 

"Sooo, how is everyone's day?" Christian said into the silence. 

"Wonderful." I said with a smile. 

"Ohhh what happened?" Christian gushed. 

"She met her wolf." Thomas said smiling at me. 

"Happy birthday Maya." Christian cooed. I gave him a tight lipped smile and pulled out my phone, no calls or texts from my family. 

"C'mon My, we got some studying to do." Thomas said standing up. I took my plate and set it up the the dish washing station and followed Thomas to his room, on the weekends Thomas works for a huge business firm and gets paid a ridiculous amount of money so his dorm is more comfortable than mine. I smiled at how much Thomas had now, I had watched him go from rags to riches. We walked into his room and left the door open, the council insisted if a male and female were alone in a room the door was to be open at all times. Thomas sat in his comfy desk chair while I went to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pajama pants and replaced my jeans. I set my jeans on his dresser and sat on his bed with my books and began reading over my text books. 

"How you doing over there?" Thomas asked after about an hour of silence. 

"All good, how is your chemistry project?" I asked walking over and looking at the papers scattered in front of him. 

"Eh nearly done, we should do our english essays next." I ran my fingers through his soft hair before nodding and kissing the top of his head and returning to the bed. I finished my history before he finished with chem so I layed back on his pillows and relaxed for a few minutes. I looked over at Thomas after a little while to see him concentrating on his papers, he looked so sexy with his face all focused. 

"I can feel you watching me." He said looking up at me with a single eyebrow raised. 

"Finish your project." I said while blushing, he chuckled and went back to work while I thought about how to bring up the fact that I thought we were mates.
