TESSA POV I slowly wake to the sun beaming in my bedroom and the sudden pain in my head has me hissing and grabbing at it like it is about to explode. I look around the room and everything is blurry at first before my sight comes into focus. I notice that I am naked under the blankets and the events of the day before start flashing through my mind. The battle with the vampires. My wolf. The fire. Everything. And I jolt up quickly in bed before I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look over and Tyler was sitting up next to me holding my arm. I must have woken him up when I jolted awake. And I threw myself at him and hugged him. "What did I do last night?" I asked. "You saved us. And it wasn't last night. It was two night ago." He says. "What?" I asked. "You've been unconscious for two nights. And a full day yesterday." He says. "Who did I hurt?" I asked. "Only them. You didn't hurt any of us. I promise. You saved our lives." He says. "What happened? How the hell did I do t
The next morning was a little tense around the mansion. Angelo and his siblings stayed awake and we stayed inside with them all until we were ready to leave. They were worried for us. Well, for me at least. I know that they don't really care about wolves. But I was their blood. So I knew that they were worried for me. Hardly any of them would leave my side for very long at a time but I have to say, it was nice to actually have family that cared about me. It was a really weird feeling. Tyler and the others stayed back while I was in the living room with Angelo, Elias, Charles, Finn, Naomi and Ruby. We were getting to know each other a whole lot better and trying to lighten the mood a bit and we were actually all mostly paying out on Angelo. They looked like they still resented him for what he did, but at the end of the day, they showed up when he needed them. So I guess there isn't as much animosity as they want everyone to believe. And he wasn't taking anything they said to heart.
We didn't get home until after sundown and we were covered in soot and dirt and blood and my arm was aching like hell from where that vampire bit me. And when we walked back into the courtyard of the mansion I was rubbing my right shoulder just thinking about the pain that I was in. Tyler walked over to me and pushed my hand away roughly because he could feel the pain getting worse and he stared at it for a moment. "What does it mean when a werewolf gets bitten by a vampire?" Tyler asked. "They usually turn into a vampire." Ethan answers. And Tyler looked at me with wide eyes. "I'm already half vampire." I say. "What happens when a werewolf/vampire hybrid gets bitten by a vampire?" Tyler asked. "Nothing. It just hurts like a bitch for a few hours." Angelo says coming out of the house. "There you go. Nothing is going to happen to me. It just hurts." I say. And Angelo walks over and looks at the wound. "It only hurts this much because the vampire that's already inside of h
When Tyler got down on his knee in front of everyone I gasped and I was the only one. Which means that this was a surprise that I didn't see coming. They really had me fooled there. "Tessa. I knew that you knew all about the party. You've been expecting it all day. That was the only way to get past you on this surprise. Ever since I met you, I knew that you were the one that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I promise that I will make you happy for the rest of your life. No matter what happens we will be there together and we will fight anything that comes at us together. You are my one and only and you always will be. I love you more than life itself. I will be by your side forever. Will you do me the huge honor of being my wife?" He promised to me with all of his heart. My heart was definitely speeding up and I knew that everyone could hear it. But I didn't care. He opened the ring box to show a white gold wolf's head ring in it and a large princess cut diamond ring in
Everyone had already gone to bed and they were all pretty drunk so now wasn't the right time to take them the photo. We would do it when they woke up but I was really worried about it. And Tyler had to grab my hand and drag me back inside the mansion and take me to my room. "It will be alright. He can't attack in the daytime." Tyler says. "No. But that witch can." I say going into the closet. Tyler walked up behind me to unzip my strapless dress. "Have I mentioned just how much I love this dress? And how beautiful you are tonight?" He asked. "You did mention it once or twice." I say. "I meant it." He says. "I know." I say turning around in my lingerie and I started unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his perfectly chiseled 8 pack that made him look even more perfect. He leaned down to kiss me while he kicked his shoes off and I started undoing his belt while he undid my white lace bodice. He then picked me up and carried me to the bed and laid me down gently and pulled my pa
TYLER POV I sat outside with Tessa for a while but hearing her talk that strange language was something that was completely weirding me out. Every time she would create something new she would write it down immediately. I think she was creating her own spell book. Which I thought was a brilliant idea. She was experimenting and practicing so that she wouldn't go against the Shadow witch completely unprepared. "What's going on?" Aria asked standing next to me in the courtyard while I was watching Tessa from a distance. "She's just practicing and experimenting." I say. "No. There's more to it. What is it?" Aria asked. So I turned around and I sat down and let out a deep breath. "We always hear of witch's going to the dark side. I'm just afraid that all of this power that Tessa has might become addictive. That she might like it too much. She's making her own spell book right now. Making up her own spells. She told me that the ancient language she is speaking is coming from the ear
TESSA POV It took a week for all the warriors to arrive in the city and we arranged where and when to meet them in the woods outside the city. We all got prepared at the mansion and tensions were high. You could practically cut it with a knife. No one knew what was going to happen or who was going to come home. And the worry that I felt coming off of Tyler was palpable. I couldn't figure his emotions out at all. Or these glances that I saw him constantly exchanging with Aria. And the secret little mind links that them two had going on. I left my engagement ring in the nightstand at the mansion because it would break when I shifted and I didn't want anything to happen to it. And Tyler and I headed downstairs to meet up with the others and again, we left in small groups carrying backpacks headed to the woods outside of town. By the time everyone had arrived it was just after sundown. So Angelo and my aunt's and uncle's had caught up to us. All of us wolves needed to take our clo
ETHAN POV The battle was getting bloody. These leeches were waiting for us. So they were prepared. Several wolves were down because of wolfsbane darts and we needed to protect them before the vampires could get to them. We couldn't have the vampires feeding on them or even just biting them and turning them into hybrids. None of them wanted that. One tried to attack me from the side but i swung around and grabbed that vampires in my mouth and shook so fiercely that I ripped him to pieces. One of the caravans exploded in the background and I looked over to see Bella was being surrounded. I ran to her but one vampire got in the way of me and I couldn't get around him. He lunged at me and I tried to get my mouth around him but he held my top and bottom jaw. He was trying to pull them apart and break my jaw. And he was strong. He was getting my jaw further and further apart while I was fighting against him. I shook my head trying to shake him off when he suddenly jumped on my back but
