Tyler got the sheriff from the nearest human town to come to the crime scene and he was a middle-aged man with a severe beer belly and was nothing to be desired around these muscled werewolves. "I don't know who he is. He doesn't have any ID." Tyler said to sheriff Miller as they approached the scene. "Oh yeah. His name is Donny. I know him. He's pretty popular around my station house." The sheriff said. "Well, no matter what he did, he didn't deserve this. My coroner has already been here. He determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma and that he's been dead roughly 6 hours." Tyler explained. "Thanks. Obviously I will have to get my coroner to look at him so that it's legit. And we have to move him off pack lands." Sheriff Miller says. "Yeah. These men are here waiting to help you." Tyler says. "Take him about a mile away from the boarder. We can't have people searching the woods and coming too close to the pack." Tyler says. "Don't worry. I'll make sure that they ke

Tyler and I were still in our wolf forms when that witch turned to look directly at me with blackened eyes and hissed 'Tesssssa.' Almost like she was calling to me. It was the same voice that I heard the other times. She was the one doing this. But why was a witch messing around with me. Tyler jumped in front of me and crouched into an attack position and bared his teeth at her. Trying to protect me. 'Tyler, don't. She can't cross the boarder. That's why she hasn't done it yet.' I mind linked him. 'How do you know that?' He asked. 'I can feel it. There's a shield around the territory keeping her out.' I say. 'Who the fuck put a shield up?' He asked. "Your mother did." The witch replied. Holy fuck, she could hear our thoughts. We were so fucked right now. 'My mother wasn't a witch.' I say. "No. But she was friends with one. And the shield isn't around your territory. Not technically. It's around Tessa. Whatever territory she's in, the shield is around." The witch says. 'So, you

TYLER POV I don't know how long I had been here for but when I started coming to I knew that I was tied while standing up and I didn't know where I was. Everything was a blur but I heard a lot of noise around me. There were people everywhere, loud music, like a massive party happening right where I was. I slowly opened my eyes and sneaked a peak and I could tell that I was still in that same mansion and I was surrounded by vampires. Vampires partying, vampires feeding on people, willing people. Vampire groupies. It was disgusting. But when one started approaching me, I closed my eyes again and pretended like I was still unconscious. He walked right up to me and grabbed a hold of my face and then splashed freezing cold water on my face. That got my attention and woke me up really quickly. I heard everyone whooping and cheering when I woke up and the vampire standing in front of me was no Angelo. I didn't know who this was. "Look at what we have here. A werewolf decided to step into

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 sa

The following morning we came downstairs to a completely full breakfast already prepared by that witch that Angelo hired to cook for us. And we sat down to eat almost all of it. And I saw Mitchell walk through the dining room, avoiding the sunlight as he was headed to the basement. "How's the neck?" I asked and Tyler chocked on his coffee. "Fuck you." Mitchell says as he kept walking and I smirked at Tyler. "Why do you need to do that?" Tyler asked. "Because it's fun." I say. Then Gladys walked into the room. "You're up and eating. That's great to see. We have a lot of work to do today." She says. "I know. Do you want some breakfast?" I asked. "No thanks. I've already eaten." She says. "We're gonna have to break up our training hours though. Angelo says that he wants to be there for some of it too." She says. "That doesn't surprise me. So, how do you and Angelo know each other?" I asked as she sat at the table. "He saved my life. Which I didn't understand at the time. Until h
