Broken Moon
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing related to this story.
AN: I had to come to terms again that I was alone. I am no longer married. My husband won't be coming back for me. I only have an empty house that I have to get rid off. I hated it here. I didn't want to come back. I find solace in writing and messing with the characters' destiny. I hope that you find this story to your liking! I have been trying to not going crazy with all this loneliness and hurt. I hope that everyone gives me feed back regarding the story and please, don't pity me! I have the strength to keep up with life. It's just that I wrote this chapter while listening to a Mexican singing group called, RBD… the song Sálvame. Really pretty song! It just made me miss him so much!
Anyways, enjoy!

In My Arms
I looked at Leah as she slowly released my angel's arm from her mouth. I could smell the sweetness of her blood, making her smell so much like a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. There was no doubt about it, she was a Clearwater.
I growled at Leah, mentally cursing her, for not following my orders. This wasn't going to go unpunished. She had strictly disobeyed! It was fine, if they wanted to make fun of me. But disobeying my orders and commands was beyond my tolerance.
"Leah," I barked, walking towards her, using my authoritative voice. She lowered her head and stared at the floor, in a submissive manner. "I told you not to attack! She was harmless!"
"You forgot why we are here! We're here to protect La Push!" she said, images of us running after vampires, were projected in her mind. "I was doing my fucking job! I did what I thought was right! I didn't know that I was attacking my own damn niece! Seth is gonna kill me!" she lamented, looking up at me.
"I don't care what you thought! You fucking disobeyed me!" I retorted, gnashing my teeth.
"You'll never be a great Alpha, Embry!" she said bitterly.
"You'll never be an Alpha, Leah!" I said furiously, growling at her. "Don't ever defy me!"
She turned around and gnarled at me, trying to gnaw at my leg. I quickly jerked away, biting at her neck and she quickly laid on the floor, cursing me with every possible expletives. She was no longer a Beta, she was part of a pack and her own judgment, made her hurt her own niece.
"This will never happen again!" I hissed in her mind. I growled at her angrily, letting her go. "You are no longer a Beta! You have been demoted as of today!"
Leah quickly got on all four legs and ran to the woods to phase back to her human self. After she had dressed, she came out from behind the trees, cursing and swearing as she trudged back to where we had gathered around the small, petite body of Moon. What a fucking coincidence? Being attacked by her fucking aunt! I would have laughed, but I was too blinded by the anger and helplessness of not being able to help Moon.
"Jared Jay," I said furiously. He walked up to me and lowered his head. "I'll need your pants. I shredded mine when I phased, chasing after Moon." I said, as I walked towards the trees to rapidly change.
I phased back and took Jared Jay's pants. I was in a foul mood. I hate the fact that they disobeyed a fucking, simple, mother fucking order. I was going to rip in to their asses later for being idiots and not following a plain damn order.
When I came back, Leah had Moon's tiny body in her arms. She looked so frail and skinny. There were dark circles under her eyes and her face looked haggard and tired.
I knelt beside Leah and took Moon's body from her hands. "What the fuck are you doing?" she hissed, narrowing her eyes.
"I'm taking her to my house!" I said, carrying her feather-light body in my arms. "You've a fucking problem with that?" I said defiantly, seething with anger for her fucking disobedience.
"She's my niece!" Leah retorted. "She's Seth's daughter and I have to care for her!"
I turned around and walked down the seashore, holding my fallen angel in my arms. I could feel the coolness of her skin, calming me. Feeling her skin next to mine felt right and I felt completed.
So, this is what fucking imprinting feels like? I liked it! I really did like it!
"Embry Call," Leah shouted, as she ran after us. "Embry Call, gosh, she's my niece and I should be taking care of her!" Leah continued to shout.
"I know she's your niece and to be honest with you, I don't give a crap." I said nonchalantly, stopping to look at Leah. "When was the last time you saw her?" I asked curtly. She stared at me, her eyes showing her anger.
"That's none of your fucking business!" she responded. "She's still part of my family."
"If I know correct, you never liked her; she was too strange for your liking, true?" I asked crossly, turning around from her. "She's coming with me and I will care for her. You will obey my damn orders, you hear?" I said, holding her tiny body closer to me, protectively.
"You fucking asshole," she cursed lowly. "You imprinted on her, didn't you?" Leah asked, but I was walking towards my house. I didn't care about the world anymore. All I needed to live, to be happy and to survive was in my hands.
It took fifteen minutes to make it to my house, but I was there. Paul Maximus and Romeo Black were both sitting at the front steps of my house. They looked tired and worn out. Paul Maximus smiled at me and ran to where I was.
"Is it true?" he asked, looking down at Moon's sleeping face. He laughed, covering his mouth in excitement. "Shit! It's trued! It's lil' Seth!" he said contently, running back to the steps.
Romeo stood up and walked towards the entrance door of my house. He grabbed the key that was under the mat and slowly opened it and motioned me to go inside.
"Thanks, Rome." I said, walking past him.
"Welcome," he muttered, staring down at Moon. He nodded and followed me inside the house.
I placed Moon's fragile body on the sofa and began to examine her hand. It was covered in dry blood, but there were no cuts or bruises on her pale skin.
"I thought Leah attacked her." Romeo said, staring at her arm. "She doesn't look hurt." he mumbled, walking to the kitchen. "She looks peaceful and tired."
"Wow," Paul Maximus exclaimed, sitting next to her head. "She's beautiful! I thought she was going to get ugly. You know what they say about beautiful babies, turning ugly when they're grownups." he joked.
I looked up at him and growled. I wasn't in the mood for stupid comments. I needed to make sure that she was alright. She was slowly breathing and her heartbeats were erratic. She had Nessie's pale complexion and the rosy tint on her cheeks. Her dark hair was like Seth and Jacob, straight and long, if I wasn't mistaken, it felt just below her waist.
My hands trembled as I reached to touch her face. I slowly touch her cool skin, and felt my heart skip a beat. I could feel the same current, from earlier, running through my entire body. I felt alive and there was this new sense of hope beating hard at my heart.
I continued to inspect the contours of her perfect, flawless face. Her eyebrows were perfectly shaped; her mouth was flawlessly decorated with thick, luscious and succulent reddish lips. She was perfect, entirely and completely perfect. She was a great, unblemished and unadultered masterpiece of a woman.
"Here," Romeo said, bringing me back to reality, as he handed me a wet towel.
I thanked him and with shaky hands cleaned the dried blood off her arm. The twins stood in front of us, staring as I cleaned her white porcelain skin. She started fidgeting in her sleep. I wanted to sooth her worries and calm her spirit.
"You should put her in the spare bed." Max suggested, nodding his head as he stared down at his second-cousin. "She looks uncomfortable."
Romeo shrugged and sat on the couch. "I'll stay here tonight, to make sure that she's being treated well." he said, crossing his arms on his chest.
I narrowed my eyes at him and a deep growl escaped my lips. "What do you mean by that, asshole?" I asked, wanting to grab the idiot and throw him out my house. "You don't think I can take care of her?"
"I didn't say that. I know you can, you're just a player and might take advantage of her state!" he teased, laughing ironically.
"I would never hurt my imprint." I hissed, throwing a decorative pillow at his face. He quickly caught it and placed it behind him.
"Oh," Paul Maximus said, handing me a beer bottle. He threw one at his brother and they both stared at me. "Then that makes everything different." Max said, walking to the couch where Romeo was sitting. "If she's your imprint, then she'll be fine! I don't know why Leah made it sound like you were goin' to molest her." he laughed, as he shook his head and drank his beer.
Romeo stood up from his seat and smacked his brother on the head. "I gotta go, I promised Nala, that we were going to see the waterfalls early in the morning." he said, taking his brother's beer from his hands.
"Say hi to Collin and his daughter from me." I whispered, staring down at my perfect angel.
"Will do!" Romeo muttered, hitting his brother on the head again.
"What the fuck, Rommy?" Max whined, following his brother towards the door. "Give me back my beer, idiot."
Romeo stopped in front of the door and turned to face me. "Take care of her." he said, nodding his head and opening the door.
"Bye, I'll be back tomorrow to see how she's doing." Max said, waving and trailing after his brother. He closed the door behind him.
I took Moon's body and cradled it against my chest. I inhaled her sweet aroma and walked up to my bedroom. Tonight, she was going to sleep in my bed and I was going to take the spare room. I wanted her to be comfortable.
I slowly sat her on the bed and covered her cold body. Was it so normal to have a pulse and be so cold to the touch?
I fluffed her pillow and kissed her forehead. It all felt so normal and right. I was happy. I felt completed. I wanted to protect her. I felt gratitude and devotion towards Moon. She came into my life when I thought I was empty.
I loved her, and it was a sweet kind of love and I felt the need to protect her heart, soul, her smile and body. I didn't want to see that sad smile that she offered Leah. I wanted her soul to feel the joy that would light her green eyes.
I wanted to see her shine. She needed to shine brighter than the sun. It was my task and goal in this life to accomplish that!
