The Shadow of a Luna (Tessa and Tyler) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Chapter 8

TYLER POV

I stood at the door frozen. The warrior was right. I didn't want to see the scene in front of me. Parker was on the floor holding and unconscious Tessa in his arms. He had pulled a blanket down on top of her but there was blood everywhere. There was blood all of Parker, Tessa, her bed, her floor. It was everywhere.

My wolf howled in my head and before I knew what was happening I was walking further into the room. My eyes were black. My wolf was in charge. He had taken over. And as soon as I got close enough to Tessa, Parker backed away. He knew that he wasn't a threat to my wolf because he was mated. But he didn't want to be near my wolf right now.

"She's been stabbed twice in the stomach. And there are other injuries." Parker muttered out. And I sat there quietly trying to regain control. I shook my head until I was able to push my wolf back and I was staring down at my mate.

"What other injuries?" I demanded. But Parker didn't answer me. So I snapped my head up at him. " WHAT OTHER INJURIES." I screamed using my Alpha voice on him. He fell to his knees in pain.

"She was raped." He finally spluttered out while he was in pain. And I looked down and realized that's why he covered her with the blanket.

I lifted the blanket but there was so much blood that I just dropped it again. I picked her up with the blanket wrapped around her and I carried her down the three flights of stairs and out the front door where Cade, Carter and Aria were.

Aria started shaking and crying immediately when she saw Tessa and no one was game enough to come near me. They knew better then to come near me.

The ambulance was already outside. They never had a chance to go inside and I put her on the stretcher and they headed for the hospital immediately.

Dr. Missy was waiting for us when we got there and raced Tessa straight to a trauma room. But the nurse told me that I had to wait outside and I let out a huge terrifying growl that shook the building.

"It's alright. He can come in. But please Alpha, stand to the side. Let us save her." Dr. Missy says. So I stayed to the side while they were working on her. They were assessing her injuries.

They needed to stop the bleeding and Dr. Missy saw the needly mark on Tessa's arm.

"Wolfsbane." Dr. Missy says looking at me.

"I know. I could smell it as soon as I got there." I tell her through gritted teeth.

'Was it the same men?' Missy mind linked me.

'Yes. She called me without them knowing. She used his name.' I snarled.

"Alright. With this amount of wolfsbane in her system, she's not going to heal. We need to take her to surgery. Right now." Dr. Missy announced to the other nurses and doctors in the room.

"How long?" I asked.

"I don't know. I'll mind link you and keep you updated. I promise." Dr. Missy says as they wheeled Tessa out of the room and down the hallway. And I was left in the empty trauma room. Bloody gausses and equipment left all over the floor.

I walked out to the hallway and Cade, Carter, Aria and Parker were all there. They were all wanting to know what was going on.

"She has wolfsbane in her system. She's not healing so they have to take her to surgery." I tell them while still looking down the hall in the direction that they took Tessa. But then I turned to Parker with a stone-cold look. " Where are they?" I demanded. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"They weren't as fast as they thought they were. They're in the dungeon." Parker says.

"All three of them?" I asked. And he nodded his head. So I stormed out of the building and when I slammed open the doors the glass shattered as they hit the walls outside of the building.

I ran back to the packhouse in human form and threw open the front door with so much power that it came off the hinges and I headed straight to the basement door.

I ran down the stairs and through the dungeon until I got to the back of the dungeon which is where the cell's are that had no beds, no light, no nothing. Those cell's were kept for the worst offenders.

They were in separate cell's and I saw Mason in his cell. I recognized him straight away and I grabbed the key and unlocked the cell and walked inside and locked the door behind me. I put the key in my pocket so that no one else could come inside the cell because I knew that my Beta and Gamma were running after me.

"Oh look. The big bad Alpha." The cocky little pick said with a smirk on his face.

In less than a second I had cross the cell and was holding him against the wall by his throat and his feet were dangling off the ground.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip your head off, right now?" I asked.

"Because I have information that you want." He gasped out.

"Keep talking." I say.

"I can't breathe." He says. So, I let go of his throat and he dropped to the ground.

"What information?" I demand.

"Well, first of all. Me and my friends would like better accommodations." He says. And I kicked him in the ribs and felt several of them break when I did that. He lifted about two feet off the ground from the power of my kick and then landed back where he started.

"This isn't a negotiation. You're going to tell me what you know or I will kill you." I demand.

"Don't you want to know who let us on pack grounds?" He asked.

"You're saying that I have a mole. Who is it?" I asked.

"I'm not giving up the one thing right now that is keeping me alive." Mason said. And I heard Cade and Carter behind me.

"Maybe Tessa knows. He might have said something to her before or during the attack. When she wakes up she could tell us." Cade suggested and Mason's eyes grew wider.

"Oh. Did you think she was dead? No. But if she does die then so do you. Very very slowly. I will drag your death out for weeks and weeks. You will not sleep, you will not eat, you will be praying for death by the time I am done with you...Hell, you raped and stabbed my mate. That's how you're gonna die anyway." I said standing over his body.

I grabbed him by the shirt and forced him to his feet and punched him right in the broken ribs and then across the face and broke his nose. Then I punched him again and again and again across the face until I lost track and he was barely conscious.

I then dropped his body and grabbed a bucket of water from the side of the room and poured it over his head. And his eyes jolted awake with the cold water. I then let myself out of the cell and locked it again.

I looked at the guards on duty. " If any of these three try to go to sleep use that fire hose to keep them awake. They aren't to sleep. No food either. Not until I say so." I commanded.

"Yes sir." One of the warrior said like he was very happy to carry out those orders. Cade and Carter were standing there leaning against the wall. They didn't look the least bit fazed by what I just did. And they followed me upstairs.

I went to my office and they followed me while I picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Alpha Matthias. I'm so glad you're awake." I said very condescending.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"Alpha Tyler Lowe. I'm sure you remember me. Tessa Braxton's mate." I gritted through my teeth.

"I remember. What do you want?" He asked sounded exasperated.

"Three of your warriors were found on my land tonight. In face, those same three warriors attacked my Luna. As you know, that is an act of war. Do you think you're pack can stand up to my pack? You see, in my pack men and women fight. Which means, your pack is bigger, but I have more fighters. Who do you think would win that?" I asked sounding very condescending to him.
