Broken Halo by Ispeak Woods (free reads .TXT) 📕

I wasn’t there. I managed to leave the room, but only through thoughts. This was happening and I couldn't stop it.
I could feel Galvin’s hands all over my body. I felt like I would kill him if I could. I could see Mr. Roman sitting at Galvin’s computer desk texting. It looked and felt like a dream, like a blurred image. I was being raped. I just tried hard not to display my ability. I didn't want Mr. Roman to associate me being hurt with my powers.

When it was over I walked out past Galvin feeling blank. I felt like I had no one that I could trust. Galvin was one of the people I’d always trusted in. Now he was just forced to rape me in front of his father. The shame he must have felt. And there I was again, thinking of someone beside myself. What about the pain I felt, what about my body and how it was just taken?
My crying could be heard from a mile away as I sat in my car. I couldn’t bring myself to pull away. I could feel my body jerk as I rocked back and forth, replaying the events in my mind. I had completely started to go mad in my vehicle. I started punching the dash board, and ripping the sunroof cover off. I got out of the car and started kicking and clawing the paint off. There were streaks of blood on the windows of my car while I continued to pound and kick on it. I finally reached the front of the car and jumped on the hood, breaking the windows.
I was mentally exhausted and passed out on the hood of the car, crying, and so alone. I wasn’t sure how much time had passed by, but I felt the cold creeping in through the wind and light drops of rain. I sat up to see that a storm was coming. The sky was lite by lighting dancing across the sky, white and sharp. The thunder sounded so loud, it seemed to mirror the rage I felt inside.
I then felt a hand on my back, and it was from a familiar place. I felt the hand grab my hair and remove it from me face. My back was still turned, but I knew who it was. I wasn’t upset with him. I was hurt by him, and I needed him to be stronger. I needed him to be the friend he had always been.
“Lisa, I can’t tell you how sorry I am. There was nothing I could do,” Said Galvin. He sounded so sincere. Even his touch held great sorrow, his shaking hands and emotional voice. I didn’t need to turn around to see how he looked. I didn't need to make sure his word held truth. I could close my eye and see his eyes. I fell in love with those beautiful eyes as a child. Galvin was, for the most part, all that I knew.
I held back tear and rage as I spoke to him. He begged me to turn around and look at him. He wanted to see the look in my eyes. I just couldn’t do it. He jumped on top of the car and faced me. I continued to look down and cry. He then placed both of his hands on the sides of my face, and GENTLY lifted my face to meet his face. We both cried and looked into each other’s eyes. “Galvin, I don’t know what to say, I was so scared. I don’t know what your father has become. He just -“I couldn’t finish my sentence by Galvin placed his hand over my lips. He looked into my eyes for a while and smiled deeply.
He leaned over and kissed me passionately. I didn’t know how to process what had just happened. I was strangely drawn to him after the kiss. It was like a wicked desire I had to kiss him back. It just felt so wrong. So I pushed myself away and looked around to make sure no one was looking. “Where is your mate Galvin?” I said, and then quickly covered my mouth to stop him from kissing me again. Things had indeed gone completely left. I was way out of line and so was he. I guess it was a natural thing. We’d played lovers for so long, something real must have transpired.
But nothing shocked me more than Galvin’s next few words. “I don’t have a mate.” I stared at him wide eyed and shaken. “What do you mean you don’t have a mate? What happened to her? What the fuck is going on?” I Screamed. I stood to my feet, pushing him off of me. He had a very tortured look on his face. “It’s complicated Lisa” he said, with a high level of annoyance in his voice.
What did he mean, “Complicated”? Was he trying to get back with me? A million thoughts crowded my mind as I looked down at him. “Lisa, she’s married to a human and they have children. She won’t leave him.” He then stood up and attempted to kiss me again. “Bond with me Lisa, I don’t trust anyone else. I’m sorry for breaking our connection. I wasn’t able to stop myself. It was something I had to do.” I couldn’t process the words coming out of his mouth. It was all so foreign to me. I had given myself to my mate. There was no going back. But if I denied Galvin all hell would break loose. I couldn’t tell Galvin that I had found my real mate. They would probably kill Tyson. I didn’t know what to do. So I did what I knew how to do best. I decided to live the lie. I kissed Galvin back and agreed to bond with him. So Tyson would be safe. The thought made me want to vomit.
The rain had slowed up a bit, but the wind still blew hard and cool. Gavlin helped me from the top of the car and held me in his arms. The attraction I felt before was gone. I could only see a scared little boy now. That’s all he ever was. He hugged me tightly and closely. That’s when I heard my mate screaming out in the woods behind us. Galvin quickly let go of me and turned around. Placing his hands in front of me, as he prepared to fight.
I knew it was Tyson, and I could hear and feel his pain in my gut. I tried to stay calm and tell him to stay away but he kept approaching us. It was so dark out and there was no way we could see him. I began to see his eyes, on fire and lite by hatred. Galvin could finally see him too, and he was less tense, and he stood up straight and turned to face me. He joking turned his back and removed the hair from my face, further provoking Tyson. Only, he didn’t have an idea what was going on, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell him. My heart pounded as Tyson took off running toward us!
I could see steam flowing from Tyson’s back. His hair was laid flat by the force of the wind, and his running. His face was dark and full of pain. Though, he wasn’t phased, I was still very terrified. I could only hope and pray that he wasn’t coming for me too. The horror on my face must have speaking now, because Galvin took one look into my eyes, and begin to take thing a lot more seriously. He frowned a little and it seemed as if he started to put things together in his mind.
Tyson was half way across the field by now, and he was getting louder. He started to call out to Galvin. “Get away from her, she belongs to me!?” with hurt and pain in his voice. Galvin ripped his shirt off and begin to run towards Tyson as well. Tyson was at least three times bigger than Galvin. Standing at 6’’7 while Galvin was a mere 5’’9. Tyson dropped his hands to his sides releasing his monstrous claws. He whipped his head from side to side and started to phase. Tyson was also an older Were than Galvin. His powers were a lot more controlled and matured.
I couldn’t just stand there and let this happen. I begin to run as well. I Screamed to Galvin, and cried out to Tyson. “Please don’t hurt him! Please!” I managed to wedge myself in between them, which was not a good plan of action. I felt a sharp pain go through my arm. Galvin had mistakenly clawed me on my neck and shoulder on both sides. I fell to the ground and lay on my back looking at the two of them fight it out. Tyson tossed Galvin like he was nothing. Galvin bit Tyson, ripping a chuck of flesh from his side.
I turned my head to the side, hoping to say something to make them stop. They just continued to fight, and that’s when I had an idea. I begin to push myself outside of myself. The pain aided me in my ability. I could feel myself pushing and pulling. I then felt the wet grass beneath my feet, and the cold rain on my face. I felt warmer and whole. I looked back at myself to see if I was still there. I knelt down and placed my hand on the spot where I’d been scratched to see how deep it was. I wrote it off as nothing until I noticed that my leg was bent backwards.
I couldn’t feel anything that I was feeling in reality. I could only feel what my ability allowed me to feel. I watched myself walk over to Galvin and take him by the neck, allowing Tyson to pin him down. I held his hands and Tyson placed his arm under his neck. He growled and hissed at us as he continued to struggle. I begin to speak from the place I was laid. Tyson looked up at me and fell back with disbelief. He was under the impression that I’d gotten up from the spot.
He frowned and had a look of terror in his eyes. “Lisa?” he said, while running over to me. I still held on to Tyson through my ability, while Tyson examined my leg and neck. “Look what you’ve done! I should kill you dead! You and your father are a disgrace to our kind. I’m starting to see that now!” cried Tyson. I lifted my hand and placed it on his face. His tears hit my face and I felt the pain slowly sneaking in. “Tyson, I need you to be strong through all of this, I’m about to be in a lot of pain Tyson. We have to stay calm.”
My ability slowly started to fade as I begin to get weaker and weaker. I could know see Galvin walking up to us with his hands covering his mouth. He took one look at me and turned away, he also was saddened by what he’d done. Only that didn’t stop him from doing what he came to do. “Tyson, she needs help. I can take her back to the pack and try to explain this, but she has to re-bond with me if she wants to live.” Tyson looked at me and nodded his head yes, and started to back away. I looked him in the eyes and told him I loved him.
Galvin hovered over me and begin to bite the top of my breast. I took a deep breath and continued to look Tyson in the
