Finally Fixing Broken

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 

*Ember* 

I watched as my babies pulled away from the house and I could help but to be saddened. There were so many reasons for the tears welling in my eyes. 

The infants I left behind when I was taken against my will to the underworld, are in fact no longer infants. They are now teenagers, and will be shifting and finding their mates soon. Even though we are pretty sure Lysa has already found hers in Vance. But my Dante could find his in school, I hope for his sake he does. He tries to hide that he doesn't care about finding his mate, but he is like his father and wants that connection so badly. 

High school was hell. I don't want my children to have to go through that. I tried to stay hidden, and I only managed to hide myself from Blaze. The other kids saw me just fine and had no issue with taunting me, as if I didn't get it enough at home. And my kids would be going to the same school. With the younger siblings of the kids I went to school with.

*FLASHBACK*

I walked into the halls of school. Only today, dad kept me longer making his breakfast so I am arriving at the same time as the other kids. I always try to be early so I can get to class and hopefully avoid the high school drama. Sadly today that won't be an option. 

I make sure my hood is pulled up and down to cover my face as best as I can, maybe just maybe I will be able to escape the harassment I know will happen if Lucy and her gang happen to see me. You see for whatever reason, Lucy has always felt and threatened to fight me for reasons I don't know. Well I do know, but nobody else knows, so I don't understand why she feels the way she does. Everyone knows that she has a thing for Blaze but I'm the only one who knows that I'm his mate. So that can't possibly be the reason why she has it out for me. Can it? No that's not possible.

 I hook my books closer to my chest as I continue to walk down the hall, I'm almost at first. I'm so far so good. Or so I think, because the next step I take I'm tripping over a leg that was pushed out in front of me. I come crashing down to the floor, smacking the books into my chest, taking the air out of me. I guess I spoke too soon because once my crashing body hits the ground, the next thing that I hear is the roars of laughter.

“You scuffed my shoe!”  Lucy   yelled in a fake horrified voice. She knew exactly what she had done, yet she was going to make it out to be my fault if it was the last thing she did. She likes to play innocent even though everybody already knew she was a bully. How anybody could think she was anything less than a bully would be beyond me. Oh, she was the literal definition of a mean girl. I swear she drew inspiration from Regina from the movie.

I rock back on my knees, sitting on my heels and begin to pick up my belongings. There's no point in feeding into it by pointing out the fact that she tripped me with her shoe, thus scuffing her own shoe. There was no point in trying to stand up for myself because then she would just jump in and beat me more. And I'd already taken one beating this morning. I didn't need another one. I don't heal like most wolves and she was definitely a stronger wolf than me.  She was the betas daughter and I was just a lowly Omega. 

As I go to pick up my book the force of it is brought back down with a foot. I don't need to look up to know who it belongs to. And yes the boot is actually scuffed.

“Well, aren't you going to fix it?”  Lucy says and I have no idea how she expects me to fix her boot, so I look up at her with a confused look on my face.

“Are you that stupid?”  I still just look up at her. I don't know what she expects me to say.

She grabs the sleeve to my hoodie, ripping it for my shoulder and down my arm. She pauses for just a minute as I rush to fix my sleeve underneath to hide the bruising. There's a small flash of something in her eye and I know that she had seen the hand mark shaped bruises on my upper arm. But that doesn't stop her from what she does next, she throws the sleeve down in front of me.

“Wipe. My. boot.” She wants me to wipe her boot, but what does she expect me to wipe it with to get the scuff mark off? I mean yeah I can use the hoodie sleeve but it's not going to do much good.  Before I could say anything I looked up at her once more only to find she was waiting for me to do so she could spit in my face. I now knew what she wanted me to use for the boot.

*END FLASHBACK*

I felt arms coming from around the back of me pulling me close, ripping me from that terrible memory, just one of many that Lucy left me with.  I wrap my own arms around the arms that are holding me, because I know that all of that stuff is behind me now.  I am finally somewhere where I am safe, I am warm, oh, I am loved. and right now I am wrapped in the arms of my wonderful mate. But at first I didn't want to. I thought for sure he would have been just like my father, but I was happily mistaken. I lean back into his embrace and he rests his head on the top of mine. If I had only let myself be with him sooner, I could have saved myself years of abuse,years of unhappiness.

 I'm not going to say that it's okay, but I continue to go through the things that I did. I'm going to say I'm partially to blame for them, but what I will say is that the events that I went through the bad, the ugly, every moment of every day that I suffered has led me to this point, hasn't one way shape or form to find me. In a way, I'm like the Phoenix, I burst into flames just to rise above the ashes a whole new person. I am not the Omega I once thought I was, instead I am Luna, no actually if I'm being completely honest I am an alpha just like my mate. And together now, that all the hate, all the war and the discontent is behind us, we will work on fixing what is broken in me. And I'm sure with all the love that he has to give, I can be whole again. And I can leave all the pain and suffering of my life behind and finally have my happy ending.
