He's Broken

Chapter 9: Pack games

..........2 months later.............

I was standing in the middle of the muddy field watching as huge hulk-like wolves began their log chopping contest. I watched as Flint's beta Brennan easily took the lead slicing log after log with one swing of his large ax. I leaned back against the large body that had it's arms wrapped around my waist, Thomas sighed and rested his head on my shoulder. 

"What are you thinking about Tommy?" I asked.

"How much I can't stand horny whores." He whisper growled in my ear. "I was trying to get a bag of chocolate for you, speaking of here ya go angel mate." He said handing me a package of M&M's, "and three different she wolves came up to me trying to seduce me." I growled as I ate the M&Ms. "My god they all reaked too, the smell of their arousal was worse than a week old carcass in the middle of July." 

"Gross." I said trying not to gag.

"I know, see your smells enticing and irresistible. I can't resist you when you get all hot and bothered for me, but them, Ick." He said fake gagging. "I would rather keel over and die than smell that again." 

I smiled at his disgust by the she-whores, luckily for us all the she-wolves in Broken Loch respected Thomas and I's relationship. I sighed and leaned back into him further, I ate a few more M&Ms and then fed Thomas a few, I felt eyes on us and looked over at a young girl with red curls and glamorous blue eyes. Freckles speckled her already well defined face. She was joined by an older boy with similar red curls, they ran to a woman with curly dark hair and hugged her tightly. I looked back at the Hulk-wolves who were finishing with their logs, Brennan won and I heard Broken Loch wolves cheer around us. 

"Next up is the knife throwing contest!" A voice announced through a speaker. "After that will be the marksmanship competition followed by the annual pups tug of war!" I smiled and turned to face Thomas who was getting ready for his first contest. 

"You've got this Tommy." I said lightly, I kissed his lips softly and smiled up at him. 

"Damn straight." He said winking. I laughed and let him pass, I smacked his ass when he passed me, he turned back and waggled his eyebrows while I giggled and made kissy faces at him. He laughed and walked to a random spot getting ready for throwing his knives. 

"You guys are totes adorbs." Raider said in his best american accent walking up beside me. He stood on my left knowing the right side was reserved for someone else. 

"You'll get it someday Raider." I said watching my handsome beast of a mate. 

"Ye' never told me who ye' met each other." He said looking down at me and throwing his arm around my shoulder. 

"I ran into him, literally." I said simply watching as other wolves walked to their spots. "He fell over because I was running, he landed wrong and broke his arm."

"Eeesh, that does na sound like fun." He said softly as the wolves began to throw their knives at their targets. Thomas hit every bullseye including the long range one. It was nearly impossible to see, but thanks to our training he was able to hit it with extreme precision. 

"All wolves wait on the sides for the contest results." The voice in the loud speaker said. Thomas walked over to Raider and I and cupped my face and placed a large kiss on my lips, Raider removed his arm and chuckled. Thomas pulled away and took his place on my right side putting his arm around my waist. 

"Ye' did great Tom." Raider said. Thomas and Raider had become pretty good friends since we arrived at Broken Loch.

"Thanks Ray, are you participating in anything today?" He asked. 

"Aye, I'll be one of the wolves in the ale chugging contest." He said happily. I giggled while Thomas chuckled. "Why are ye' laughin'?" 

"I thought you were going to say the javelin throw. I was not expecting the ale chugging contest." I said. 

"Same with me." Thomas agreed. 

"Why not the Ale chugging contest?" He said acting all offended. 

"Obviously because you could kick everyone's ass at the javelin throw." Thomas said as I nodded in agreement. 

"Kiss arse's." Raider was looking down while a light blush covered his cheeks. 

"The winner if the knife throwing contest is Thomas Maverick from Broken Loch!" The announcer said. Thomas walked over to a man who handed him a sheathed dagger. He took it with a large smile and walked back over to me, I took the dagger and traced the Celtic symbol on the hilt, I pulled the blade from the sheath and looked at the intricate design on the blade. I re-sheathed the blade and handed it back to him with a kiss in the cheek. 

"Next we have the marksmanship contest." I heard the loud speaker announce.

"Good luck angel mate." Thomas said patting my ass as I walked to take my place in the row of wolves. I looked at my targets, 7 targets and a 6 round clip, I knew I had to make a double shot so I calculated what shot was best. 

"Begin!" I took the small pistol and aimed at my first target and hit the bullseye along with the second third and fourth I used one bullet to go through targets five and seven before spending my last round on six. When I was done I set the gun down and walked back over to Thomas who was watching me proudly. 

"All wolves wait on the sides for the contest results." Came the voice on the loud speaker. 

"2 in 1, nice shot." He said as I took his hand.

"Why thank you handsome." I said leaning into him, a cramp began to form in my stomach so I reached into his pocket and took out the small bag of Advil he kept there, knowing I was on my period. I swallowed the pills dry and zipped the baggie and stuck it back in his pocket. He placed a small kiss on my forehead as we waited silently for the contest results. 

"And the winner of the marksmanship contest is Maya Kilter of Broken Loch!" I smiled and walked over to the man who presented Thomas with the dagger, he handed me a chain with a golden bullet on it. I took it and noticed the bullet was engraved with Celtic runes, I took my prize back to Thomas who put the chain around my throat. I ran my finger over the cold metal and turned to Thomas who ran his fingers over the golden slug before taking my hand.  

.........5 months later..........

I sighed as I emailed Wandering Moon's house building crew, I was having a single-family house built for Thomas and I for when we moved back to the pack, it was to be in a clearing where a fire had destroyed over 11 houses nearly 25 years ago. I had the remaining rubble cleared and had three homes being developed, our house, our beta family's home and the gamma's home. We still had a while until we went back, but I wanted it done when we got there. The pack house was being remodeled seeing as there was black mold found Thomas's old room. 

I looked at the pictures I sent the developers and tried deciding which house I liked the best. All three houses were different, one was red brick, that was the one I wasn't a fan of. One had grey vinyl siding, which I liked and the style of the house screamed family, the last one was more of an olive green color. Both of the two I liked had two floors and two car garages, I finally decided on the olive colored house due to the fact it had a bay window. I informed the contractors of my finial choice and closed the computer and went to the window and sipped on my warm cup of coffee.

I was hoping he would like the surprise, but I wasn't sure seeing as we never really talked about our future anymore. We had stopped talking about it the day he turned 18, like really talking about it. I had no idea where he stood on so many things, did he want kids? Was marriage something he wanted? 

'What do you think Nyx, do you like the house?'

(I do.) She said plainly, Thomas had been really busy recently so she and Deimos hadn't gotten time to run in recent months. Really all we had time for was sleeping and pleasing one another, it was beginning to hurt how much Flint kept him away. If they weren't meeting another Alpha they were having meetings with random pack members. I wasn't allowed in the meetings seeing as I wasn't officially a part of the Alpha family. I left the window and pulled on a pair of flannel lined jeans and a dark green long sleeve and a large fluffy black winter coat. I slipped on my tan snow boots and pulled my waist length hair into a side braid and went out to the forest and found a quiet spot and layed down in the packed snow. 

I smiled as more powder began to fall from the sky, I walked back closer to the pack house. White outs have been known to cause people to lose their way, I didn't exactly feel like spending the night in the freezing temperatures. I walked into a clearing that was the sparring field and stuck my tongue out, I caught a flake and giggled as my breath left my mouth looking like smoke. 

I plopped down in the snow and made a snow angel, giggles surrounded me as pups joined me playing in the once empty field. 

"Maya!" A small pup named Skyla said as she hopped onto my stomach, she was the product of Meredith and Flint, she was extremely sweet, she had wild orange curls like Meredith with pale skin and brown eyes, he skin was littered with small freckles. 

"Skyla." I said sitting up and laughing, she slid down into my lap and giggled as I tickled her. "How is my favorite spitfire?" I asked as she tried to tickle me. 

"I'm great!" She squealed as another boy plowed into us. "Tobias." She whined.

"Hi Tobias." I said as he tried to knock me over, to no avail. He was determined to be a strong warrior like his dad. Skyla jumped off of me and they began to play fight, I watched them closely making sure no real damage was dealt. The women who watched the pups stood in the snow looking miserable, I sighed and looked at my breath before laying back in the snow and watching the white flakes drift down around me from the grey sky. I could feel the boogers that were in my nose had frozen, but I didn't mind. I closed my eyes and imagined how happy Lenny would be playing in the snow, I smiled at the thought of my brother, I missed him. 

"I hope your thinking of me." Thomas's voice said from above me, I looked up at him and held my hands out. He reached down and pulled me to my feet gently. "I've missed you." He whispered putting his face in my neck. 

"I've missed you too Tommy." I said breathing him in. 

"Will you come with me?" He asked pulling back and looking into my eyes. 

"Anywhere." I said instantly. He beamed at my response he took my right hand in his left and led me away from the playing pups. He led me up to our room in the pack house and smiled before opening the door. I gasped when I saw what he had done, there was a small round table in the middle of the room that was lit by candles. Thomas pulled me to the table and helped take off my coat before helping me into my seat and pushing me into the table. He took off his coat and handed me a plate from a cart and set it before me along with some silverware. He set himself and plate and sat down across from me. 

"Tommy, I don't know what to say..." I said knowing my eyes were as large as saucers. He smiled and pointed to the chicken and rice that was on my plate. I dug in and ate the scrumptious food knowing it was Thomas who had made the food. When I was done I wiped my face with a napkin and looked at Thomas who was watching me with a huge smile plastered on his face. "The food was amazing Tommy." 

"It was made for the most incredible woman I know." He said sweetly getting up and walking over and helping me out of my seat. "I know we haven't had much time together recently angel so tonight we are going to lay back on the bed in our comfiest pajamas and watch whatever movie you want, so go get changed." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him lovingly before smiling at him and doing as he said. 

I took a warm shower and pulled on a pair of cheeky underwear before throwing on one of his tank tops. I brushed my hair and crawled into bed with Suri and put on Scooby doo zombie island. Thomas came back into the room and took a quick shower and put on a pair of boxers before crawling into bed with me and holding my body tightly against him. 

There was no s*x that night, it was just Tommy and I enjoying one another's company. For the first time in four weeks I had slept a full 12 hours.
