The Shadow of a Luna (Tessa and Tyler) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Chapter 28

I started screaming in pain and Tyler was screaming at the witch to stop but Angelo stopped Tyler from interfering.

"This will help her. Trust me." Angelo yelled above the noise of the room.

"How the fuck is this helping her. It’s hurting her." Tyler growled. His body starting to vibrate with anger and fur started sprouting on his arms.

"You need to calm down. This was the easiest way. We don’t have time for her to find her own powers." Angelo yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Tyler growled as his canines protruded from his gums and Angelo knew that he needed Tyler to calm down.

"Would you hurry up over there. I can’t hold this wolf off for much longer." Angelo yelled at the witch. But she kept chanting and the light coming from my chest sprouted out like branches of a tree and went in all different directions.

Tyler stopped losing control because curiosity got the better of him and he looked out the window to see other witch’s circling the building and they were also chanting, and the light was going from each of them to the other and back into the room to where Tessa was sitting.

And then, there was nothing. It was silent. The chanting stopped and light went dull and disappeared. And I fell back on the bed breathing really heavily. Tyler’s canines and claws retracted and so did his fur and he ran over to me.

He leaned over me rubbing my face and my chest where the witch had placed her hands on me.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"I think so. What the fuck was that?" I asked.

"How do you feel?" The witch asked.

"I don’t know. Weird. What did you do?" I asked sitting up.

"She gave you some power. All of the witch’s from her coven gave you a little of their own power each. So you didn’t drain any of them, but you now have more power than all of them put together." Angelo explained.

"Why the hell didn’t you warn her?" Tyler growled at him.

"Because she needed it. It needed to be done." Angelo explained.

"What does this mean?" I asked standing up.

"It means that you might have a chance of fighting the shadow witch. But I don’t know. She’s incredibly powerful. This is Gladys. She is going to stay here and teach you how to use your powers. So that you won’t be completely unprepared." Angelo explained.

"You could have at least asked first before you did that?" I yelled waving my arm and the window on my left exploded and Tyler covered me with his body. " Holy shit." I say looking at my hand.

"Well, I guess the spell definitely worked." Tyler says.

"That’s why you need help to control them." Angelo says.

"Can you just leave us alone for a bit?" I asked. And Angelo looked hesitant but he agreed and left with Gladys.

"I’m sorry. I didn’t know that he was going to do that." Tyler says.

"Why are you apologizing. I know that you didn’t know. And you would have told me before hand if you did." I say sitting on my hands on the bed.

"Are you really that scared?" He chuckled.

"Did you not just see that window explode? How the hell did I do that?" I asked.

"Well, they gave you their power. I guess we have no choice but to stay here and learn how to use them." He says.

"I guess so. I wasn’t prepared for this shit when I came here. I’m sorry. I should have just stayed at home." I say. But Tyler sat down and put his arm around me.

"No. You needed to do this. I understand that. And Angelo does seem to have your best interests at heart. He just does things in his own little warped way." Tyler says.

"Yeah. I guess he does. You shouldn’t be dragged into this mess Tyler. You should go home." I say.

"Wherever you are, that’s my home. I’m not leaving you. Not for anything. I am staying here with you. Especially if there is a battle happening." He says.

"You’re too good for me." I say. And he grabs my chin with his thumb and forefinger and forces my chin up to look at him and he kisses me.

"We were made for each other. So I’m definitely not too good for you." He says.

When we finally left the bedroom Angelo and Gladys were waiting in the courtyard for us. And Tyler growled when he saw them. But I knew that he didn’t mean to. His emotions just got the best of him there. So I hold his hand to calm him down.

"Alright. What do this training involve?" I asked.

"It’s just to control your power. That’s all. It won’t be painful or anything like that. It just takes a lot of concentration, and it will take up a lot of time." Gladys says looking at Tyler.

"I’m not leaving Tessa’s side at all. I don’t care how many hours in the day it takes. I’m gonna be there. In case you bastards decide to do something else behind our backs." Tyler snarled.

"Alright. It will probably get boring for you though." Gladys says.

"As long as I’m with my mate, then I won’t be bored. Besides, there’s a few things I wouldn’t mind practicing myself while you two are doing that. I can be off to the side practicing my own thing." Tyler explained with a smirk on his face.

I noticed that it was daytime and Angelo was standing outside. But it wasn’t long before I noticed that he was sticking to the shadows of the balcony above us from the upper floors of the house. That’s how he was able to be outside. He wasn’t coming out into the sunlight.

"When do we start?" I asked.

"We’ll start first thing tomorrow." She says.

"Alright. Well, I’m starting so I need get something to eat. All you have around here is blood." I say.

"You’ve never tried blood?" Angelo asked.

"Never had the urge to. I need food." I say.

"I saw a cafe down the road." Tyler says.

"We can order in. I don’t want you leaving the mansion." Angelo says.

"I’m not a prisoner. I’m going to go and get something to eat. We’re just going down the road and I wouldn’t mind seeing a little bit of New Orleans while I’m here. Apparently, it’s a real party town." I say raising my eyebrows.

"It is at nighttime. And that’s definitely out." Angelo says.

"Fine. Then you can take us for a tour tonight. But right now, we’re hungry and we’re gonna get some food." I say.

So Tyler and I left the mansion and we headed down the road and we went to the cafe and ordered some food and then sat down at a table.

"I think we might have to stop at a clothing shop as well. I’ve been in the same clothes for days." I say.
