The Shadow of a Luna (Tessa and Tyler) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Chapter 9

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. They didn't have much fight in them at all. But they were feral creatures and they fought like it too.

One grabbed one of my legs while another grabbed my other leg and started dragging me away from the middle of the battlegrounds. But I managed to get one to loosen his grip and I used that to my advantage and kicked it in the face with so much force that he slammed against a tree and didn't get back up again.

I felt the other being ripped off my other leg and I see Cade there pulling that bastard away.

It wasn't hard to tell who was in charge of the rogues. There was one clear leader there and that's who I was headed for. I dodged and ducked wolves and as rogues attacked I would grab their throat and throw them out of the way.

I got to the leader of the rogues and we circled each other with the battle still going on around us. We were only focused on each other.

He lunged at me but I ducked out of it and I swiped my paw at him but missed. My back legs were still bleeding and getting really heavy to keep my weight on. But this bastard needed to die. They all did. They weren't invading my land.

So when I lunged at him, I didn't stop until my teeth sank into his flank. He let out a mighty roar which stopped the fighting around us and they were watching the fight between me and the rogue leader.

I let go of his flank and he stumbled back and tried to attack me but I dodged out of the way just in the nick of time so that he missed me. But as he was flying past me I fell to my side and lifted my paw and dragged my claws along his stomach.

He fell to the ground and this time he had more trouble getting up. He was bleeding profusely from his underside, and he tried to approach me again but fell back down to the ground. So I walked over to him and I stared down at him. Then I reached down and put my jaws around his neck.

With one mighty yank, I ripped his throat out. And their leader was dead. Some of them were still brave enough to fight but they were taken down quickly by my warriors and the others ran off. So they wouldn't end up the same way.

Once a werewolf dies, he turns back into his human form and I saw the leader turn back into his human.

"What do you want me to do with him?" Cade mind linked me.

"Send his head to Matthias. Let him know what happens when you fuck with me or my family." I demanded.

"Absolutely." Cade says.

I then turned around and I walked over to a tree. I shifted back to my human form and I pulled a pair of shorts out of the tree. I grabbed another three pair when I saw Ethan, Wyatt and Tobias all shift back as well.

"Warriors. These are friends of Tessa's. Ethan is the one that tipped me off to this attack. So no one hurts them. They're our guests." I announce.

"Where is Tess?" Ethan asked.

"I'll take you to her." I say. And we start walking out of the woods.

I took them to the hospital and standing outside Tessa's room were the four warriors protecting her and Aria was sitting there looking very annoyed with Rachel pacing around in front of her door.

"Oh my god Tyler. I thought you were dead." Rachel yelled running to me and throwing her arms around me. And Ethan looked at me really strangely.

I pulled Rachel's arms off of me and she looked at the men that were standing there with me.

"What are you doing here Rachel?" I asked.

"I wanted to come and make sure that Tessa was alright. We might not get along, that doesn't mean that I want her dead." Rachel says.

"She's been trying to get inside the room." Aria says.

"You're not allowed in there. Tessa would want you in there. Why don't you just go home?" I asked her.

"No. She's my Luna and I am staying." Rachel says sitting down next to Aria. So Aria moved over a couple of seats.

I took the men in to Tessa's room and Ethan gasped when he saw her.

"She was covered in really shallow cuts when she was found." I explained.

"They were torturing her while she couldn't move because of the wolfsbane." Tobias says.

"That's what I was thinking." I say.

"Where are the assholes who did it?" Ethan asked.

"In the dungeon. They've been deprived of food, water and sleep. They only get water if they try to go to sleep because they get sprayed with the fire hose." I explained.

"Nice. I would love to see that." Wyatt says.

"We can all go visit them together if you want." I say. Dr. Missy then walked into the room and saw us four men covered in blood standing around Tessa.

"Okay. First of all, you all need a shower. Secondly, why are there so many visitors to one patient?" She asked.

"These are the men from her old pack that tipped us off to the attack this morning. And helped us wipe them out." I explained.

"I have a problem. I thought I noticed it at the party but I wasn't sure. I am definitely sure now." Cade says. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
