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
TESSA POV I was pinned in the corner of the room and the wall by the string of electricity that had turned from white to red with her anger and I screamed so loud that I didn't know it was possible. The pain that I was feeling was indescribable. I managed to take one deep breath and I raised my hand towards the witch and I created a fireball that I turned to glass and shot it at her face at full speed. She let go of me while she was trying to get the glass out of her face and I fell to the ground. I slowly managed to get to my feet and Tyler was regaining consciousness. "Go help the wolves." I tell him. But I could tell that he was more concerned with me. But he knew that I needed to finish this so he ran to the wolves. He didn't know what the hell to do. I knew that he was still looking for signs of me turning evil. Of me getting addicted to the power. But as I was staggering on my feet I was able to regain my footing while the witch was pulling pieces of glass out of her fac
THREE MONTHS LATER I was standing in my bedroom suite with Bella and Aria fussing around me like chickens with their heads cut off. Bella was doing my make up and Aria was doing my hair. She was brilliant at doing hair. She was putting it in some up and some down with perfect curles hanging down my back and I was keeping a very natural look on my face. I put on some diamond teardrop earrings and a matching necklace that Tyler gave me at our engagement party when we got home from New Orleans. And then it was time to get dressed. I was already wearing my white lace bodice with matching panties and white suspenders that clipped onto my stockings. I then got dressed into a strapless mermaid style wedding gown with a princess neckline that was covered in lace and had different layers going down my legs with a 2-foot long train. And all I had in my hair was a couple of flowers to cover the hair tie that was hold the top half of my hair up. I walk out of the wardrobe and Bella and Aria
