Tlou Tess Novels & Stories

“Again, I’m sorry for the intrusion.” “It’s fine,” Lauren smiles big. “I’ll go say hi to Aiden.” She gets off her chair. Theo is so pissed, he turns his face away from her. He doesn’t watch her leave. “Tessa is in trouble,” I open up, getting straight to the point. “Vampires. She made some kind of deal with them and they attacked her.” “What are you talking about?” From his tone, I can tell that I’ve surprised him. “You didn’t know?” I scoff. “Wait, are you two broken up? Is that why you’re out here with some other chick from the squad?”

Zlata The lounge was a pure chaos—people hurried past me, carrying heavy boxes, folding tables, and crates of silverware. I didn’t remember Julian mentioning anything about a lounge renovation. Surely he would have asked for my opinion first, wouldn't he? The double doors swung open again, and Tessa stepped in, trailed by Leah and three she-wolves rolling heavy designer luggage. “This way!” Tessa barked, pointing toward my bedroom. My lips parted in surprise. “Tessa, what is going on? Are the Luna quarters under renovation?”

Noah's POV: I’d never believed in ghosts. Not the kind that rattled chains in the night or moaned behind locked doors, anyway. But the moment I saw her standing in the courtyard, staring up at the results board with tears streaking her cheeks, I felt like I’d seen one. Tessa. Except… she wasn’t a ghost. She was real. Alive. And somehow, impossibly, she could see. I’d heard things, rumors whispered among the pack. That Lucian Moonstone had bought a blind girl from some desperate stepmother.

Then, with a slight smirk, the hood fell back. It was Tessiah. Riven froze. His mind screamed, and his chest tightened. Tessiah—the name alone was enough to churn every nerve ending into tension. She was a ghost from the past, a phantom who’d survived events no one thought possible. And now… she was holding a weapon that glinted with deadly precision. “Tessiah,” Luca whispered, his mark flaring violently. “How… what…?” Tessiah’s lips curved in a cruel, almost affectionate smile. “You didn’t think your little reunion would go uninterrupted, did you?”

Stop this rubbish, stop thinking now, just pray to the goddess, I held on tight to myself and Madeline… Oh goddess help us, I fold my hands in some hopefully pray I know Tessa would never betray us. Never. She knew every crack in Kellan’s armor. She’d stitched his wounds since they were boys. She’d loved this pack even when it didn’t love itself. She had scars older than some of the warriors in training…proof of her loyalty. At least that was what she told me, and the little I have heard from Kellan and Dauris' story about how they all grew together with Velise...

Tucked beneath a blood-stained cloth. My name written on the front in ink made from midnight berries. Selene, I didn’t want it to come to this. You gave me a home. A family. A purpose. But the Council offered me the one thing you couldn’t— My sister’s life. Forgive me. —Tess. I dropped the note like it burned. Tess. One of our best scouts. Quiet. Observant. Always the first to volunteer for border patrol. She’d saved Aric’s life once. He called her his “ghost walker.”

Moonlight filtered through the clouds, turning everything silver and strange. In the center of the clearing stood a structure. Not a building exactly, more like a ruin. Broken columns and crumbling walls, covered in vines that seemed to move slightly in the darkness. At its heart was a stone platform, raised a few feet off the ground. Tessa was kneeling on the platform. Her hands were bound behind her back, her head bowed. She looked smaller than I remembered. Older. Her gray hair hung loose around her face, dirty and tangled. My heart slammed against my ribs.

“You clean up way too well.” Liora rolled her eyes, but a small smile slipped through. “You’re not going to stop, are you?” “Not a chance.” Her phone lit up. Tessa. And just like that, Liora’s face lit up. “Tess!” she answered immediately. On the other side, Tessa squealed. “Oh my God—Liora?! Is that you or did the Moon Goddess descend?” Jared laughed. “That’s exactly what I said.”

"You can't run from the Loom, Rebecca!" The voice boomed from the sky. I looked up and saw Ada, but she was twenty feet tall, her face a distorted mask of porcelain and thorns poking out of her skin. She was wielding a giant pair of silver scissors, the blades snapping shut with a sound like a guillotine. Snip. Snip. Snip. "Joshua doesn't want a saint," she hissed, her shadow stretching over me like a shroud. "He wants a wife. And you... you’re just a loose thread that should be taken care of."

Zelos said it coldly and immediately again get me out of this place. I heard another scream from Kai. Of course, I was struggling even harder to get out of Zelos's grip. Then I saw some of Zelos's warriors starting to surround Kai. "What are you gonna do to him, Arsehole?! Let my boyfriend alone!" I hit Zelos' arm hard. There was no answer. Instead, Zelos pulled me even more forcefully. That really made me hurt and very angry. "LET GO OF ME, YOU ARSEHOLE! I'M THE FUTURE LUNA, AND I COMMAND YOU TO STOP THIS SHIT!"
