TYLER POV As the army drew closer only the patrols were visible and the rogues stopped just on the other side of the boarder. My patrols came together to look at them but we couldn't communicate with them. The rogues were the first ones to crouch down a bare their teeth. They then charged at my patrols that were grossly outnumbered but as soon as they stepped foot over the boarder then the rest of us came running out and clashed with them in a thunderous collision. They weren't expecting us to be ready for them and some retreated immediately. But most stayed to fight until their last breath. I saw the three bigger wolves fighting through the crowd and the biggest of them all. A massive black wolf who I assumed was Ethan lunged at me, but to my surprise he tackled the rogue that was coming up behind me and tore his throat out. Ethan just nodded at me and we kept on with the battle. We fought left, right and center. But the rogues are so little that they can't really stand a chance.
BELLA POV "Bella, what the hell are you doing?" Ethan yelled from the other side of the bars as I pulled a syringe out of my pocket. "What needs to be done." I replied coldly while staring at Mason. He looked weak. He hadn't eaten in a while. Sleep deprived. But I know that he was still stronger than me. A couple days in this place doesn't mean that I can take him on. That was never going to happen. But then I started stalking towards Mason and he stood up looking all big and tough against me and he really was. He was huge compared to my tiny stature. But I didn't care. I really didn't. I just saw what he did to my best friend. Something that no one ever deserves. He started walking towards me and I could hear the panick in Ethan's voice and Tyler was screaming for the guards to get the other key. But Mason lunged at me and I knew that this was going to be my only chance. When He knocked me to the ground and was on top of me I jabbed the saringe into his stomach and injected the c
TESSA POV Dr. Missy made me stay in hospital for three days to make sure that I was completely healed and the wolfsbane was out of my system and Tyler stayed there with me the whole time. Except for when he needed to go home and shower. Otherwise he was leaving the pack up to Cade and Carter. But when I was finally told that I could leave, I was glad to finally be going home. Tyler picked up my bag from the bed and he held his hand out for me, so I took his hand and he guided me out of the hospital. The entire staff at the hospital said goodbye to me as I was passing them even though I hadn't met most of them but Tyler assured me that it was because I was the Luna. And I could only think that it was because they knew what had happened to me. We got in Tyler's car that was parked at the entrance and he drove us back to the packhouse. He raced around the car and opened the door for me and I got out of the car and looked up at the house. I stood there staring at it for a minute b
TYLER POV I bought Tessa home from the hospital a week ago and since then, she hasn't left my bedroom. She either sleeps all day or she's in the bathtub or shower. That's all she does. She doesn't talk very often. I get food delivered up to the room for her but I noticed that she only takes little nibbles out of bits of it but that's it. She's becoming a shadow of the women that I once knew and it was staring to scare me. Other were concerned about her but I was making excuses for Tessa because she refused to see anyone. I know that this had been happening for so long in her life, but she concealed it. She hid it and just lived her life pretending like it wasn't happening. But she couldn't do that now. Everyone knew what had happened to her and they had never tried to kill her like that before. But it kills me sleeping in the same bed with her every night and not being able to touch her. And I don't mean anything bad, just being able to put my arm around her. That's all I want. Me a
TESSA POVAfter Tyler had to leave for that warriors meeting where they were discussing going to war with my old pack and killing Matthias and my father I still stayed in the room. I knew that talking to Tyler was a good start for us to try and rebuild whatever it was that we had before and it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. But there was still something weighing me down. Something deep down weighing my down that I just couldn't shake. I stood at the window looking out at the forest and longing for the woods. 'Why don't you try to shift.' A voice in my head said. 'Shiloh. Is that really you?' I asked shocked. 'You bet. It's been a while.' She says. 'I can't believe that you're back. I guess all that wolfsbane is finally gone.' I say.'It wasn't just the wolfsbane. You were shutting me out. You weren't meaning too. But you did. I guess you had to to survive. You didn't want me to attack your father otherwise he would have killed you.' My wolf said to me. 'It is so go
'Hello daughter.' My dad's voice echoed in my head. I froze at first hearing it but tried not to make a big deal out of it. Everyone was already treating me like I was made of glass. I didn't want to give them a reason to treat me any more differently. 'Get out of my head.' I demanded. 'Why am I still in your head? You've been here long enough? Why haven't you been marked and mated to the Alpha and tied to his pack. You're still nothing but a disappointment.' He mocked me. 'You know exactly why we haven't been able to proceed with our marking and mating. If those bastards hadn't tried to kill me, probably under your orders, then things would be different.' I retorted. 'Yeah. That was a genius plan. Having the wannabe Luna set you up like that. Too bad they got caught.' He says. "Too bad to you.' I say. 'I want them back. Right now.' He says. 'Aren't you speaking with Tyler. He's the one that you need to take this up with.' I say. 'No. I am taking it up with you. You give me Mas
TYLER POV As soon as I saw that warrior dead in the dungeons then I knew that I had yet again failed my pack. I had gotten really used to feeling this way. I had been failing a lot lately. I failed Tessa. I trusted Rachel. And people keep getting hurt because of my bad decisions. Sometimes I really don't think I was meant to be an Alpha. I don't know what I'm doing or how to make it better. Tessa is standing behind me saying that she knew there had to be another traitor. She's a better leader than I have ever been and she's not even the Luna yet. This pack would be better in her hands. I don't know why I didn't mark her when I had the chance. When she was asking. But I know this pack loves her and they will keep her as Luna. There's only one thing for me left to do. I need to put an end to this. NOW. I can't let anyone else die on my watch. I turn from the group and run from the dungeon with such fury and speed that I left them way behind me. As soon as I reached the top of the sta
TESSA POV As I jumped right into the middle of the battle everything stopped. Everyone looked. They were confused. No one had seen me in my wolf form before. Because I knew that it wasn't normal. I have always been larger than I should have been. That's why, even when I wasn't on wolfsbane, I wouldn't shift often. And I never shifted in front of other people. But the thought of Tyler going into this battle had me terrified. I couldn't let him do this alone. I know how my father and Matthias think and act. They play dirty. The first opportunity they would take the cheap shot and both would gang up on Tyler. Just to claim his pack. And they would enjoy doing it. 'Hello daughter.' Dad said through the mind link. 'I am not you're daughter.' I said through an open mind link to my whole pack. My old pack, that is. 'I took your abuse for years just hoping that my real father would come and get me. But he never did. So I was very happy to go with Tyler. And it was the best decision I ever m
