Found but Broken Luna

The Fight

*Skye*

The whole way home I couldn’t stop thinking about the guy in the car next to us. I was drawn to him, for reasons I didn’t know. I was 22 and have only ever been with Tom. We were high school sweethearts. We started dating when I was a sophomore and he was a senior. We were now in college and living together in a place that his parents bought for him. They had money. I, on the other hand, had no family. My parents died when I was young and I grew up in the foster system. Luckily, I found a wonderful family to take care of me but the moment I turned 18 and graduated high school, I was on my own, aside from Tom. But this new guy seemed different. He seemed like he actually cared and he doesn’t even know me. If he did, I’m positive he wouldn’t want me after what Tom has done to me over the years. My body holds the scars from years of his “love.”

As we approach the house my heart sinks because I know what he’ll want from me and he’ll take it whether I give it or not. He sets the car in park, finally taking his hand off my leg. He gets out and comes around to open the door for me, which is the only kind gesture he’ll offer. I get out and we walk into the house. I look at the time and it’s about 10pm. Hopefully, the t****e won't last long.

The moment the door shuts behind me I’m met with a slap to the face and I’m on the floor. “You stupid little b***h! I give you everything! I take you to a nice restaurant and pay for everything and you repay me by looking at someone else!? You know that I’m the only person who can truly love you! Nobody else can love you like I do!” He stands over me and screams while I’m laying on the floor holding my face where he slapped me and shaking.

He grabs me by the hair and pulls me over to the couch. “I love you, Skye, but your actions have deserved a punishment.” He starts throwing punches into my stomach and I try to block them but my arms being in the way ends up causing more pain than before.

“Stop it, Tom! Please! I wasn’t looking at him I promise!” I yell, trying to get him to stop but my words are pointless. When he’s decided that it was enough, he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder and walks upstairs to our room.

When we get to our room he throws me on the bed and pulls out the restraints from under the mattress and clips them on my legs. I try and swing my arms to stop him but he grabs both wrists in one hand and pins them above my head. “Stop moving you little c**t!” He is trying to kiss me to get me to calm down but all I do is cry and try to thrash my body around. “Oh you like that don’t you,” he says to me in the creepiest tone ever. I can feel him growing hard in his jeans against my core as he grinds up and down against me. I’m only wearing a maroon, short, and strappy dress tonight so there isn’t much getting in the way of his assault.

It wasn't too many hickies later that he decided to stand up and take his pants off. His member was not attractive, nor was it long. He settled himself between my legs and I tried to get away but the restraints made it next to impossible. He pulled my underwear to the side and rubbed himself against my folds. “Tom. Please. Don’t do this.” I whimper to him, hoping he would hear my plea or maybe even listen to it, but I know it’s only hopeful thinking.

He wastes no time in pushing himself in me and I let out a scream to try and let him know that I don’t want this. “Does that feel good my love? You’re so f*****g tight I love it.” He groans in my ear as he continues in and out of me.

“Tom, I don’t want this! Please sto-” I was met with a fist to my face and blood starts to mix with my tears. I can also feel the blood running down my butt and onto the sheets.

“Shut up you stupid b***h! This is what you deserve!” He screams in my face as I start to cry some more. He picks up his pace a little bit and starts to groan in my ear. It isn’t long before he begins to falter and I feel him release inside of me. He never lasts really long thank god. I just lay there and cry as he gets up to clean himself off. He leaves to go take a shower, but not before he punches me one more time, causing the lights around me to dim and the world go black.

*River*

We followed them all the way back to their house and parked a couple of blocks away but close enough to hear just like Hunter suggested. I see her get out of the car as he opens the door for her and I am absolutely floored by how stunning she is. She’s wearing a short maroon dress with spaghetti straps. Simple, but beautiful on her. It hugs her breasts and waist and then flares out. Her slightly curly hair falls down to where the dress flares out. She’s wearing black strappy heels that are about 6 inches which means she’s about 5’2” and looks to be about 110lbs which is very small in comparison to my 6’5” and 250lbs self. Needless to say, she’s tiny compared to me.

When they closed the door Hunter turns to me, “River she’s tiny, you better be careful not to break her.” He laughs and I laugh with him. “But seriously dude she’s gorgeous. You’re a lucky man.”

“I know I am, Hunter.” I smile.

“I hope my mate is as beautiful as she is.” He hangs his head. We’re the same age and have both been waiting for our mates. The only difference is that Hunter is still a virgin. He wanted to wait for her. It was a sweet gesture because if you’ve never had it, you never miss it. The years that I haven’t been sleeping around have been painful because a man has needs, and I’m a wolf so those needs are multiplied by 20.

I place my hand on his shoulder, “She will be, man. You’ll find her soon enough.”

We sit for a minute in order to listen in to what is happening. Sure enough I hear some whimpering from who I can only assume is my mate. I hear him slap her and her scream. Something is happening and I don’t like it one bit.

Hunter and I share a look and nod. We get out of the car and run up to the windows, looking for one that’s unlocked. When we find it, we open it and I am met with the smell of my mate, clean linen and ocean breeze. But something is wrong. We hop in and I smell blood mixing with her intoxicating scent. We hear a hard thud of what I can only assume is him punching her. We look at each other and immediately I bolt up the stairs, following her scent. I put my ear to the door and hear another door close and lock, which most likely means he is in the bathroom. The moment I hear the water turn on I looked at Hunter and nodded, telling him that it’s go time.

I slowly turn the doorknob and open the door to be met with the worst sight I could ever see. My mate is laying there lifeless, legs and arms bound to the ends of the bed, her dress pulled up to her waist and the straps down off her arms exposing her breasts, bruises and hickies covering most of her body except her legs and arms. We share a look of sorrow before I go up to her and releaser her restraints and cover her back up.

I get close to her face and put a piece of hair behind her ear, feeling the sparks as my fingers graze her skin, before I place a kiss on her forehead. She lets out a little whimper and leans into me. I place my hand on hers and whisper into her ear, “Hello my little mate. I’m River and I’m here to take you away from this pain if you want me to. I already love you and I refuse to let this a**hole do this to you ever again. Are you ready?” She stirs a little bit and grips my hand tighter, and I feel the sparks grow, which I take as a yes.

As I’m lifting her off the bed she nuzzles her head into my neck. Before we walk out the door, I hear the water turn off. I know it’s not long now before he comes out for more. I give Hunter a nod and we race off and down the stairs. He opens the door for us as I hear him open the bathroom door and let out a yell. We race out the door and to the car. I place her in the back seat and she grips my arm as I try to pull away to drive. “Don’t go. Don’t leave me,” she cries. I give Hunter a look and he runs into the front seat while I pick her up and slide her over, putting her head in my lap and getting in the back with her and placing my arm over her waist.

As we shut the doors, he is out the front door looking around. We sit for a minute to not draw any attention to us until he goes to the backside. As soon as the car is on, we’re off to the pack house.

I look down at my little mate just in awe of her beauty, but also pissed that anyone could do such a thing to this beautiful woman in my arms. The sparks across my body feeling her in my arms makes me grow hard and my wolf comes forward.

Our beautiful little mate. I will kill the bastard who did this to her. He will regret his actions. We need to mate and mark her to keep her from this again. My wolf, Onyx, states. I can see him pacing in the back of my mind.

I know Onyx, but now is not the time. She needs time to heal. But we will protect her with our life. And when she is ready to go after him we will, but we need to be here for her. We will also mate when she is ready. She has a lot to process because she’s human, and she has to accept us.

She will accept us. I know she will. I can feel her power, even as a human. She will become a very powerful werewolf. We have to turn her. She belongs with us.

We will let her decide when she is ready.

I feel him settle back into my mind and I feel myself start to go down. I look back down at her and then up to Hunter. “We should be arriving in about two and a half hours. I’m going to take a couple back roads to make sure we’re not being followed. Get some sleep, Alpha. I’ll wake you when we’re close.” He tells me.

“Thank you, Hunter. I owe you one.” I give him a smile.

“You can return the favor when I find my mate.” He looks down in the mirror at my sleeping mate. “Let’s hope she’ll wake up soon and be okay. We can’t lose our Luna before she’s even our Luna.”

“I agree.” And with that, I look back down at her and tuck her hair back behind her ear again. She stirred in my lap and gripped my thigh. I rubbed her back and leaned into her, placing another kiss on her head, “You’re safe with me. I’m not going to do anything to hurt you and I sure as hell won’t allow anyone else to hurt you. I promise.” She gave a little smile as she relaxed again in my arms. I leaned back and placed my head on the headrest. Hopefully we will be home soon and she never has to worry about any of this ever again, but I know this fight is far from over.

I hope the pack will accept her. I hope that my parents will accept her. I hope that she accepts me, because I’m already head over heals for her. I love her. Speaking of my parents, I pull out my phone from my other pocket and text them, telling them the situation and to have them get some clothes together for her and have them placed in my room. They answer back rather quickly telling me to not worry about a thing. I let my eyes fall closed as a smile comes across my face and a breath releases that I didn’t know I was holding before succumbing to the night, at least until we reach the pack house.
