Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

Maya's wolf felt the little signals that Xander's wolf was sending to her. She couldn't help but sigh. The wolf knew that Maya would require a long time before she was able to trust in her mate again.

Maya felt a gentle gaze on her and turned to see Xander looking at her with a smile. She threw a glance around the gym and saw that none of the people working out had noticed Xander staring at her. Feeling a little embarrassed, she bowed her head.

Xander strode towards them and saw his nephew look at him with a smile. Sam ran towards Xander and gave his legs a hug. Xander fondly rubbed his head before picking him up in his arms, "Hey, little champ. How was your day?"

"Awesome." Sam replied.

Xander walked towards Maya with Sam in his arms. Maya straightened her stance and asked him, "How is the training of new recruits coming along?"

"It is coming along fine, Deputy Councilman. This batch of trainees are well on their way to set new records for their juniors to follow." Xander replied his tone formal. However, even if his tone was formal, Maya could detect the underlying warmth. Xander's tone always held this warmth whenever he spoke to her.

"Aunt Maya... Uncle Xander, can we go somewhere out on the weekend? My teacher gave me an homework, I have to talk on the topic of a family trip. But.. I have never been on one with you. So... Can we go somewhere out? Please..." Sam murmured hesitatingly. Hearing the child's words, Xander's eyes shone. He wanted to go on a small trip with Maya, even a day trip would be fine. It would take them out of their daily environment and he hoped that maybe they could come a little closer to being together again.

Maya's wolf noticed the child's desire to connect and strengthen his bond with Maya. She gently nudged Maya's mind to accept the offer to go on an outing. Maya too felt that she should bond with the only family member she had left in her life. She accepted the offer without much thought.
