THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER THIRTEEN
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
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER FOURTEEN
'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
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER FIFTEEN
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
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER SIXTEEN
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
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
As the mist was getting closer I could feel the goosebumps rising on my skin and the hair stand up on the back of my neck. "Shift now. Something isn't right." I say. "Agreed. You go first." Tyler says. So I had to block everything else out. I concentrated to picture myself with paws and a snout and fur and then it started happening. I let out a scream when the first bone broke and rearranged and then the next and the next. It took about 10 minutes for me to shift which was really painful but as soon as it was over, Tyler shifted in seconds and we both took off into the woods. We were headed back to our pack territory but I could feel that black mist following us. Tyler was trying to stay behind me but I didn't know how he planned on fighting it off. We could barely see it. It wasn't an actual being to fight. We ran as fast as we could and I had no problem keeping up with Tyler as we ran towards the pack and once we reached pack land and were back on our territory the mist stopped
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
"I said, what the fuck are you doing here Adam?" Tyler growled out with a really pissed off look on his face. I stood next to the stairs with Aria and Bella while Cade and Carter were just behind us. "Oh shit." Cade muttered. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "Well, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting around here." He answered. "Cade, Carter. I can't believe you are still here serving my brother. I thought you would have bailed years ago. How the hell have you been able to put up with him for so long?" Adam asked. "It's pretty easy when you're not around." Carter replied. "And who are these lovely ladies?" He asked looking us three up and down. "Off limits." Cade growled. "Oh. Their mates. Gotcha. But what about you blondie? How serious are you about your mate?" Adam asked approaching me and he reached out and stroked my hair. And within a second Tyler had him by the throat and slammed him against the wall next to us. "Oh. I probably should have mentioned that I
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER NINETEEN
Tyler was looking between me and Adam who was still on the floor and I was waiting for Adam to say something. When I realized that he wasn't going to say anything at all then I was about to open my mouth. "I owe them a lot of money." Adam blurted out. And I looked at him curiously. "What?" Tyler asked confused. "Tessa heard me on the phone this morning. I was telling her not to tell you. But she heard me and it was a loan shark. I got into gambling and I owe this guy a lot of money. That's why mom and dad kicked me out. They were sick of covering my ass. So I came here. You've got enough money to help me." Adam explained standing up. By this point we had gathered quite an audience of not just our friends but warriors that heard the commotion and came in to see what was going on. "So, that's why you're here. Because you need money. Well, don't think for one fucking second that you're getting any from me. If you don't want them to break your legs then you find a way to pay off your
THE SHADOW OF A LUNA CHAPTER 20
TESSA POV Adam had been in town for a week now and things had been going pretty good. Tyler and him haven't had any more run ins which was a good sign. Adam was behaving himself and grudgingly taking the jobs that Tyler was assigning him to. And they really were the worst jobs in town. And I was started to get back into fighting form. Tyler was finally waking up early enough to come jogging with me. And I was now able to do one and a half laps of the territory which I was actually happy about. It was about time I was improving. And when we got back to the packhouse Adam was just leaving for work. "Have fun on council duty today." Tyler says. "You have me picking up litter and emptying the public bins in town. How the hell can I have fun with that?" Adam asked. "I don't know. Make the most of it." Tyler smirked and pulled me into the house. "You know, if you keep mocking him like that then he is going to resent you even more and you two will be in each other's faces again." I say.
