The Shadow of a Luna (Tessa and Tyler) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Chapter 27

By the following night Tyler had caught Cade up on everything that was going on in New Orleans and Cade was to be acting Alpha of the pack while we were away. But we didn’t know how long that was going to be for.

So the following night when everyone woke up and were ready to party I noticed that there was barely anyone around the mansion.

I found Angelo in the courtyard with Mitchell having a pretty heated argument until they saw me and stopped. And Mitchell stormed off.

"Was it something I said?" I asked sarcastically.

"No. He just doesn’t like have werewolves in the mansion. It’s taken us a long time to draw lines and barriers where every species belong. And he thinks that I am breaking all the rules now." Angelo explained.

"If we’re causing too much trouble then we can leave. We can go back home and you can call me if and when you find out any information of Josiah." I say.

"No. You’re not leaving. I will make all these vampires disappear before I tell you to leave." Angelo says. And I smile at him. He reaches out and feels my hair.

"I forgot just how blonde your hair was. I never even had a photo of you. I thought I would have plenty of chances to get photos of you when you were living with me. But that didn’t happen." He says.

"Well, I’m only 17. We’ve still got a long time to get to know each other." I say.

"Yeah. The rest of your life. But you will need to go back to Maine eventually." He says.

"Yeah. We can’t stay too long. Tyler has responsibilities back home. And so do I. We both need to get back." I say.

"Well, I know that Josiah found out about you from Daniel. Daniel thought that he was your father but Josiah but it together and figured out that you belonged to me. He’s been biding his time before he came for you." Angelo explained.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because he knew that you would be useless to him until you were grown. But then he needed to speed things up when he found out that you were mated to an Alpha. And he wanted to get to you before you were marked. But it looks like that didn’t happen either." Angelo says pulling my hair back and seeing the mark on my neck.

"Nope. It didn’t happen. Tyler will be able to find me if he takes me." I say.

"Unless he shoots you up with wolfsbane or chains you up with silver." Angelo says. There was nothing I could do about the silver but little did Angelo know, I had built up quit an immunity to wolfsbane. So, Josiah would have to use a lot more than the recommended dose. And I doubt he knew that part.

"Do you know what he wants me for?" I asked.

"Not yet. We’re still looking in to it. I’ve got a few people on the inside with Josiah. I’ve had them on the inside for years. Ever since I knew that Josiah was a threat. So he won’t suspect them. He trusts them completely." Angelo explains.

"Wow. You really think ahead. I guess we are alike." I say. "So, no party tonight?" I asked.

"No. That’s more Mitchell’s thing. And he does that mostly when I’m not here. Otherwise they take their parties elsewhere. He knows that I don’t have time for that shit. He thinks I’m getting too old." Angelo says.

"You are, aren’t you?" I asked.

"650 is not that old." He says.

"Since I’m half vampire, does that mean I am going to live longer?" I asked.

"I don’t know. Do you want to?" He asked.

"I don’t want to live without Tyler." I admit.

"Spoken like a true mate. I honestly don’t know the answer to that. You could turn him into a half breed as well if you’re worried about it. Do you have a blood thirst?" He asked.

"No. I don’t. Never have." I say.

"That’s interesting. So, do you have any vampire powers?" He asked.

"Well, apparently I can compel people. I only just figured that out. I know that I can jump higher than other people. I can fight pretty good. But I’ve had a lot of training." I say.

"Good. What about witchcraft. Have you got any powers there. You mentioned that you could feel the other witch’s powers." He says.

"What does witchcraft have to do with anything?" I asked.

"Well, because my mother was a witch. That’s how all of my siblings and myself because vampires. She put a spell on us. Or a curse. However you want to look at it." He says.

"You weren’t just bitten?" I asked.

"No. So my mother was a natural born witch and my father was a werewolf as well. Which also makes me a half breed of sorts. I don’t have witchy powers." He explains.

"That is so unreal." I say.

"I’m sorry to spring all of this on you." He says.

"No. Don’t apologize. It’s about time I started learning some family history. No one else ever tells me anything. And I can’t find any information about my mother’s family." I say.

"She came from a pack in Ohio. That’s probably why. Daniel was passing through there once and saw her and just took her and claimed her as his." Angelo explained.

"The more I learn about that son of a bitch, the more I really start to hate." I say. I then heard something behind me and turned to see Tyler coming out from behind one of the pillars.

"How’s everything going out here?" Tyler asked.

"Good. Angelo is already starting to get information on Josiah. But the one crucial question remains unanswered. What does he want with me." I say.

"Well, I don’t know if it’s a good thing to travel until we have these answers. It was dangerous enough coming here knowing that he’s got witch’s working for him. he might try to grab you on the way back." Tyler says wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I agree. It’s too dangerous. And especially because no one knows exactly where he is. My contacts will be calling again shortly. I’ll let you know more when I know more." Angelo says.
