He's Broken

Chapter 10: Wandering

..............9 months later.............

I read the email again hoping that my eyes were deceiving me, they weren't.

{Maya,

 We know that this is sudden but you are needed here at Wandering moon. We are aware that in a few months time you were supposed to be home, unfortunately there is an urgent matter and your arrival can no longer be held off. Luna Sherry your neighbor to the north is adamant on declaring war should a member of the Kilter family not be present at the meeting the council has arranged. Seeing as you are set to become the Luna in just a few months time we have decided that it is to be you who attends this meeting. And before you ask, no you will not be returning to Scotland. Thomas will be joining you at Wandering Moon at the end of November. We council members know that this is going to be difficult for you, and we appreciate the sacrifice you are making to ensure the safety of your pack. You will be leaving Broken Loch August 12th (tomorrow) at 10:10 am. We wish you safe travels and will see you once you get here.

Sincerely,

  Councilman Zenon.}

I began to cry in sadness and anger, 'How could they do this?' 'Why are they separating us?' I curled in on myself as my emotions overpowered me. 

(I can't leave Deimos!) Nyx cried. She began pacing while whining and howling loudly. Her sadness added to mine and I began shaking as I sobbed. I didn't hear the door open, nor did I hear feet walking toward me. But I felt it when strong arms pulled me against a hard chest. 

"Maya, what's wrong?" Thomas whimpered, not trusting my voice I pointed to the laptop. I felt Thomas tense as he read the email, then I heard his growl and felt it as he began breathing heavily. "This is bullshit!" He snarled angrily. "They can't take you, your MINE!" His possessive statement came out as more of a desperate plea. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder as he lifted me from the desk chair, my legs hugging his waist tightly. He carried me to the bed where he layed us down and buried his face in my neck as he cried. 

"Why are they doing this?" I bawled. I knew I had to stop a war, but why couldn't I come back to Thomas, why were they keeping us apart for so long?!

"I can't do this without you!" He responded tightening his hold on me. "I'm nothing if your not by my side." I stopped crying and pulled back and looked into his eyes. 

"You aren't nothing Tommy, your a werewolf with lycan blood and a bad ass Alpha. If I ever hear you put yourself down again I'll be the one to kill you." I said sniffling, he and I smashed our lips together in desperation. I poured all of my emotions into the kiss and he did the same, even without the mate bond we found ways to feel what the other did. 

"I love you Maya, more than a younger me ever thought possible. I never thanked you for telling me to shift that day, again you saved me. You were willing to send me away and let me go even though you would be miserable, thank you Maya." He said pulling back from our kiss. 

"I couldn't let them hurt you anymore Tommy, especially seeing as you were the love of my life. You always will be Tommy, were the Moon goddess cruel enough to not make us mates and made me choose between you and whoever my mate is...I would choose you every time. Your my one and only. I love you the most my Alpha." He pulled my lips back to his in a frenzied kiss. 

"Since they are making you leave, I call keeping Suri until I come and visit you." He said putting his face back in my neck and nipping the spot where he would eventually mark me. 

"We'll have to facetime everyday." I said sighing sadly as a few more tears rolled down my face. "I know this will be harder for you than me Tommy, and I need you to understand, that I wont blame you for any reaction your body has to smelling females in heat. However should they lay a finger on you, I'll fly back here and chop their hands off." He inhaled deeply in my neck before he began kissing his way up to my lips, he hit my sweet spot just under my jaw and my entire body shivered. He did it again, and my body had the same reaction, he growled lowly before making sure we would be satisfied while we were separated. 

............34 hours later...............

The black escalade stopped in the driveway of the olive house and the driver, a pack warrior named Logan and I got out of the car. I looked at my house and I smiled at the sheer size of it, it was perfect. I went to the truck and pulled out a box and walked to my mahogany windowed door and opened it. I walked in and admired the fact I was looking at a flight of stairs and the living room when I turned my head to the right. I set the box on the black fabric sectional that was facing a large flat screen TV on a black wooden stand. The stand had cabinet on the left and one of the right, in the middle was a shelf where I had a wifi router set up along with a Blu-ray player and gaming system, in the left cabinet were the game controls and the few games we had so far. The right was empty, but it was to hold movie night snacks and my popcorn bowl. 

I left the living room and walked past the front door and the stairs and walked into a large open kitchen with a set of french doors leading to a deck. The granite counter tops were baltic red and looked stunning with the walnut wooden cabinets and island. The island had stools on the right side making it the dinning table, it also held a wine rack and stainless steel dishwasher that matched my fridge and oven. I went to the sink, it was a double basin stainless steel sink with a pull down faucet. I looked down at the hardwood floors that were even more beautiful in person, they were made from black walnut. I left the kitchen and went to the stair case and went to the door on the living room side and went down to the basement where a nice home gym had been set up. I walked around and looked around at all the equipment, when I was done I went into the next room, the only other one down there, and saw a lovely looking hot tub. Deciding to test it out only when Thomas got home I went back up to the first floor and went into a room next to the living room and found an office. I noticed the large pine desk and one large leather rolly chair. I sighed and went to the next room to the right and found a spare room that had a full sized bed and dresser with a small closet and a window on the back and right walls. 

Across the hall was a small bathroom with a toilet and small bathtub along with a washer and dryer. and a small folding counter. I left the laundry room and finally went to the second floor. I went to the left end of the hallway first and found a mid sized room that was completely empty, the walls were painted a neutral grey like the rest of the house. I went to the room at the right end of the hallway and saw a room similar to the last, both were mid sized and had small bathrooms and walk-in closets. I went to the last room, the door was a hair to the left of the stairs. I walked into the most glorious master bedroom, the walls were greenish grey color. A king sized four poster bed sat in the middle of the room, the floors were brazilian walnut and the wooden night stands looked like mahogany. A small tuxedo sofa sat at the foot of the bed, a flat screen TV was mounted to the wall and the remotes were set on the left night stand, I walked to the left side of the room where the master bathroom was. It was incredible, the stand up shower was large enough for 5 people and the water came from the ceiling! The bathtub looked like a large black bean, it was definitely large enough for Thomas and I, the sink was white and was surrounded by the same type of granite in the kitchen. The toilet was tucked away behind a small wall, it was across from an open cabinet where towels and washcloths and soaps were places. 

Curios to the see the closet I left the bathroom and went to the right side of the room and found a large walking closet, it was completely empty yet it looked so elegant. There were dark wooden shelves and black hangers for the clothes on both sides of the closet. I ran down the stairs which had a thin rug over the hard wood so slipping and falling down the stairs would be less likely to happen. I grabbed my box from the sectional and put my box on the bed before going back out to the escalade where councilman Zenon was speaking with Logan. I ignored him still sour over the face the council was keeping Thomas and I apart for so long. I carried my boxes to the bedroom one by one, not once talking to Zenon. I began unpacking, putting my clothes in the closet and the bureau for my underwear, socks, pajamas and informal clothes. I had taken some of Thomas's clothes after telling him it would make me feel better if his side wasn't completely empty, he caved. I went back to my room and folded the box up and set it by the door, the next box was mostly my movies and books. The movies went on the small dark wooden shelf to the left of the TV. I put my books on the larger shelf that was right next to the wondrous bay window, after that I went and put the box of my school things in the office and put the empty boxes with the two others. I grabbed another box for the bedroom and stripped the bed of the large grey comforter and put on the one that smelled like Thomas, it had been his from the academy.

We had slept under it the previous night so his scent was fresh. I grabbed the last two boxes, one went in the closet seeing as it was more clothes, the other went in the bathroom seeing as it was my feminine products and soaps. I would have to go to the newly renovated pack house and grab my things from my old room on the old alpha floor that I was having made into more spare rooms and possibly a small lounge area. When I was done I went into my bedroom where councilwoman Zhara was standing waiting for me, she was shorter than I was, 5 ft 4 with long dark curls and espresso colored skin, her eyes were a dark brown color and her lips were covered with a clear gloss. I bowed to her before speaking. 

"Councilwoman." Was all I said.

"Welcome back to Wandering Moon Luna." She said kindly. "There is to be a feast in the training field in two hours, it is imperative that you attend."

"Technically councilwoman I wont be Luna until next month, I'm still 17." I said firing a shot. "Of course I'll be at the feast, I've always been a stress eater." She narrowed her eyes and nodded once before leaving the room. I sighed and went to the closet and grabbed some clothes before hopping in the shower and washing up for dinner.
