The Luna's Shadow

CHAPTER 5

"Mine." The dangerous and menacing voice demanded in front of everyone in the room. All the Alpha's from nearby packs and even ones that have traveled long distances to be here.

Mason finally loosened his grip around me and I noticed the woman standing next to that stranger with a horrified look on her face. She tried to grab his arm but he shook her off and marked towards Mason and me.

I very subtly pushed Bella to the side away from where this man was coming for us. Just in case anything happened, she could be ready to duck and cover.

"You are mistaken. Her father has already promised her hand to me in marriage. Once she turns 18 we will be marked and mated." Mason announced proudly and another menacing growl erupted from that man’s throat.

"You are not touching my mate." He growled out through gritted teeth.

"He's your mate." Bella whispered.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Tyler Lowe. Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack." He announced. And my mouth almost dropped open. They were a large pack. They were known for their strength. They were not to be messed with. I knew of their pack, but I had never met their Alpha and didn't know what his name was.

"She is not your mate. She has been promised to me." Mason gritted out. This was going to get out of hand. Really quickly. But another man stood in and placed his hand on Tyler's shoulder.

"My name is Cade. I am Tyler's Beta. And I'm sure you know young man that it is against werewolf rules and nature to come between a wolf and his mate. Especially that of an Alpha wolf." Cade educated Mason.

"I know the laws. And I don't give a s**t. Her father promised her to me. And she will be mine." Mason insisted and Cade had to hold Tyler back after that.

Mason was soon accompanied by his two friends Levi and Lochie and then the head warrior Tobias showed up as well. He had been on patrol outside and heard the commotion.

Ethan filled Tobias in on everything that was going on and Tobias looked at Mason in shock.

"How can you justify coming between these two? Their goddess given mates. They're destined to be together." Tobias argued.

"I don't care what the goddess has in store for my daughter. I promised her to Mason so Mason shall get her." My father's drunken voice boomed through the room. And Tyler turned to look at him in shock and Tobias looked at me worried. He was gradually standing between me and Tyler and Mason who were about to have it out. He didn't want me to get hurt.

Tobias was a really good friend of Ethan's so I've also known him since I was really little. And Tobias was one of the very few men in this world that I trusted with my life.

"Alright. We don't need this party to turn into a disaster. How about we go and talk about this in the conference room while my guests enjoy the party." Alpha Matthias said.

"Stay here with my mate. Don't leave her out of your sight." Tyler demanded his beta.

So Alpha Matthias, my father, Mason and Tyler all walked off to the conference room and I was left standing there like a stunned fish.

"Why the f**k didn't you tell me that your father promised you to that dickhead Mason?" Ethan asked.

"I only found out this morning. I guess I still haven't processed it." I explained.

"Well, like f**k that's happening. Go and start packing." Ethan says.

"What?" I was confused.

"Cade. If she packs and sneaks out the back, will you be ready to get her in a car and mind link your Alpha and get her the hell out of here?" Ethan asked.

"You want me to help kidnap her?" Cade asked.

"It's not kidnapping. Tessa can't stay here. Not with Mason and definitely not with her father." Ethan says.

"Would you two shut up." I say as I look over my shoulder at Levi and Lachie who were standing a little way away from us. They probably couldn't hear us because of all the others talking in the room but they were definitely watching.

"Tessa. I'm not stupid. I know what your father is like. Especially when he's drunk. You need to get the f**k out of here. Now. This is your best chance." Ethan says.

"He's right. You need to leave." Bella says.

"What about you? I can't just leave you. If I run away then they will make sure that I never see or talk to you again." I say.

"Don't worry about that. I'm home now and I'm not going anywhere. I'll make sure that doesn't happen." Ethan insists.

"You better not be planning anything stupid Tessa." Levi says coming up behind me. So I turn to smile at him.

"When have I ever done anything stupid?" I asked and Wyatt spat out his drink by accident. Knowing that I was known for doing stupid things. Ever since I was a kid.

"I don't think Tyler came here alone tonight." I say looking over at the women that was giving me the worst death stare that I had ever seen in my life. If looks could kill then I would definitely be ash by now.

"That's Rachel. Don't worry about her right now. We need to worry about you. You're the Alpha's mate." Cade says.

"She has been promised to Mason." Levi says.

"Okay. I'm going to pretend like you're not even here anymore. Because you are pissing me off." Cade says turning to be on the side of me so that his back was to Levi.

"I can handle those two." Tobias whispered to me.

"This is crazy. There's no way we will get away with anything. They will be right on our asses. Dad will never let me leave. You all know this." I declare.

"Tyler just mind linked me. He's calling the werewolf council and reporting this. They aren't allowed to come between a wolf and his mate. That's our first and foremost absolute law." Cade says.

"Oh my god. The werewolf council. Dad is going to be so pissed." I say starting to panic. I was having a little trouble breathing after that and then I had to hold my ribs because they were killing me. I was in so much pain at the same time I was on the verge of having a panic attack.

"Breathe. Just breathe. It's a panic attack. I told you what to do with a panic attack." Tobias told me to try to lift my arms over my head to open my lungs up but I ripped my arms down and hissed in pain. And Cade looked at both of us strangely.
