Chapter 6
TESSA POV
Tyler and I talked for a little while after that, but he was able to fall back to sleep. But I was unable to go back to sleep. I lied in bed with my mind racing with everything that I told Tyler. I honestly didn't know what came over me. I felt like I could be completely honest with him but this wasn't the type of thing that I told anyone. Even Bella didn't know about the rapes. She just knew about the beatings because they were harder to conceal.
I saw the sun rising through my window so I got out of my bed quietly and I got changed into black and red tights, a red top and a sweater over the top with socks and sand shoes.
I went to my wardrobe and grabbed a bag out of there and I left my room and crept out of the house being careful not to wake anyone.
I went out the front door and this was the first time I had seen this place in the day light. The packhouse was situated on a huge piece of land surrounded by the woods and only one road in and out which was the driveway that took us to the rest of the werewolf town.
I walked over to the tree line and I knew that I couldn't go into the woods because there would be patrols around and they didn't know me. They would think of me as a threat. So I picked one tree on the tree line and I opened my bag and grabbed out a target.
I pinned it to the tree and then I stood back about 20 feet and I grabbed my bow and arrow. I aimed it at the target and hit the bullseye first go.
"Still got it." I said to myself. And I grabbed another bow and aimed and shot it at the target and got the bullseye.
I then heard something just inside the tree line and I knew that it was one of the patrols. But they had to know that I wasn't an intruder because I wasn't near the border and I was just outside the packhouse.
I heard bones braking and rearranging before a big muscly man came walking out wearing a pair of tracksuit pants that would have been hidden in one of the trees. Every pack had trees in their forest that had clothes in them for when they needed to shift and had no clothes on them.
"Hi." Is all I managed to get out. He looked at the bow and arrow in my hand and didn't say anything. So I slowly put them down and put my hands up in surrender to let him know that I wasn't a threat. " I'm not an intruder. I promise." I assured him.
"Who are you?" He asked.
