The return of Clan Vortek (male reader)

Part 12

I spent the rest of the day going throughout the ship, and eventually in the afternoon ended up in the mess hall to be met with the sight of Aayla eating.

"You know Aayla I never realised how big this ship was until today... also doesn't this situation remind you of something" Sitting down opposite her I could see her better. "What do you want?" Aayla replied rather harshly, still not over Mimban.

"I want to understand why you are still so annoyed at me it's more than just Mimban isn't it" Aayla looked away as if to hide that I hit right on the mark.
"When me and my master went to Mimban... the destruction and death... the innocent weren't spared your people walked over them like they were nothing but dirt under their shoes... all I could image in that moment was the videos I saw of my people when I was 7 years old, it was the same Mandalorian invaders, just another species to crush that invasion on Ryloth nearly destroyed my whole race... their that's why I'm so upset" Aayla explained. Words couldn't ever help in this situation.

So I did what I thought would help, I stood up and moved around the table "Torin what are y" Her question stopped as soon as my helmet was off and I was sitting next to her enveloping her in a deep hug.
The time we stayed in that position could have been years and I wouldn't even know it. "This will never happen again to you -she looked at me confused-...
because I will tear empires to the ground to protect you, because Aayla Secura Jedi Master I Torin Vortek heir to the strongest Clan ever, Love you with all my heart and will never leave you no matter what" Aayla's cheeks were completely red, clearly caught off guard.

"Torin you can't just say that without any warning" Aayla's face still hadn't faded the red colour. "Why should I hide the truth, what I feel... and I think you feel the same" Aayla's face said it all and she knew it.

"Torin... I'm not ready to say that, I hope you understand i grew up without being allowed attachments everything is so new, what I feel is new to me" Aayla needs time but so do I so this works for both of us.

"You can have all the time in the galaxy Aayla you deserve that" Aayla eventually released our hug. "I'll see you tomorrow Torin I need some time to think" Aayla left and all I could think was how she didn't deny she liked me... eventually I went to bed although it took time.

That night I didn't dream of anything and woke up in a cold sweat... I hadn't done that since I was 8, the rest of the morning was normal I had a shower got dressed and made my way into the bridge, Aayla and Voss were already their talking.

"Morning Torin, we'll be home in no time at all about half an hour, I have been told to warn you your father is furious and is waiting for your return" High General Voss told me. "He's always furious Voss tell me something I don't know" The look on his face said he had something he didn't want to say.

"Sir your father ordered all the Mandalorian Clan Heads to gather at this meeting you'll attend, it starts when you get their and ends when you and him decide what to do about that issue" So father's mad I called my warlords and decided to call his own how petty father.

"I'll figure something out soon and is there anything from your spies?" Voss could only look down in shame and shake his head no.

"Torin, I spoke to the Jedi council earlier apparently the chancellor is holding a vote soon on wether too try to force Mandalore under Republic control, to in his words bring peace to the galaxy... Satine wants to talk to you after your meeting, please meet with her" Aayla said giving me pleading eyes.

"Fine, I'll meet her but I promise no result to come from this" Aayla didn't respond but I could tell she was grateful, her endless love of helping the defenceless civilians.

"Sir, we are closing in to Vortek prime it will only be a couple seconds"Voss told me. "5..4..3..2..1 -Vortek prime suddenly appears as we jump out of hyper space and Voss's voice changed to more calm- We are home everyone" Voss spoke through to the fleet as my ships slowly appeared from hyper space.

Vortek prime was as amazing as I left it, a true testament to the Vortekian will... a refuge for all Mandalorians to unite, never tainted in its history by an invasion never had any empire placed its filthy beings on our sacred soil.

"Home sweet home... now time to get down to business" I start heading to the ship bay High General Voss and Aayla follow behind talking between themselves talking about the latest developments in the galaxy wider news.

After 10 minutes and finally making it into the Vortekian residence we head to the meeting room and Aayla disappears to meet Satine. Voss speaks up "You do know you will be questioned on everything and if you don't choose to attack the Hutts after all this rumours will spread and if you do go through with it millions of innocent people could die... you need to find the right solution".

"Easier said than done Voss I hope I'll make the right decision but unfortunately I can't make everyone happy so I'll do whatever is needed to find justice for my mother even if I have to tear down criminal empires to do it" I replied much to the support of Voss displayed on his face.

We enter the grand meeting hall everyone seated waiting for me, my chair directly opposite my father his at the head mine at the end his attempt at a power play... now to decide how to enact the perfect counterattack.
