Chapter 15
TYLER POV
As soon as I saw that warrior dead in the dungeons then I knew that I had yet again failed my pack. I had gotten really used to feeling this way. I had been failing a lot lately. I failed Tessa. I trusted Rachel. And people keep getting hurt because of my bad decisions.
Sometimes I really don’t think I was meant to be an Alpha. I don’t know what I’m doing or how to make it better. Tessa is standing behind me saying that she knew there had to be another traitor. She’s a better leader than I have ever been and she’s not even the Luna yet. This pack would be better in her hands. I don’t know why I didn’t mark her when I had the chance. When she was asking. But I know this pack loves her and they will keep her as Luna.
There’s only one thing for me left to do. I need to put an end to this. NOW. I can’t let anyone else die on my watch. I turn from the group and run from the dungeon with such fury and speed that I left them way behind me.
As soon as I reached the top of the stairs I shifted into my wolf, Eli. I smashed through the glass doors and straight out into the woods. I ran past warriors looking at me with confusion and I saw the two dead warriors on the ground. They were young. Just joined the warriors. That fueled my anger even more. My legs pumped harder and faster and I ran through the woods and I left my territory boarders. By then, I knew that I was on my own.
What I was doing was going to get me killed, but not before I killed those bastards responsible for everything that they have done to the people I love. To my family. My pack. They are going to pay. Tessa told me where their tunnel’s were. I knew where the exits to them were. So that was my advantage. I wasn’t going to let them get away. They were never going to get away from me.
If I had to die on this mission then it was going to be on my terms. And I was definitely going to take those pricks down with me.
It wasn’t long before I heard howling behind me. I didn’t stop but I did slow down slightly and Cade’s wolf appeared beside me, running along with me. He looked at me with that knowing look. He wasn’t here to stop me. He was here to help. And I looked to the other side to see Ethan running on the other side. And the hundreds of thudding paws on the ground behind me. They were all coming to help me.
I guess the battle is starting now. We weren’t fully planned for it. But we knew what to do. They were outnumbered with all of us. And with my pack behind me, I had a renewed sense of strength and courage course through my body. And my legs started moving faster to get ahead of everyone.
I was the Alpha. I needed to be in front of them. I was the one that was leading them into battle. I sure as shit wasn’t going to be at the back. I was going to be where I needed to be. At the front leading them.
’It’s not your fault. None of it. Focus on the task at hand and get back home to Tessa. She’s already lost too much. She can’t lose you too.’ Cade’s voice echoed in my head. And Tessa’s piercing blue eyes and gorgeous smile found it’s way to the front of my mind. A smile that I hadn’t seen in so long. I needed to see that smile again.
This was no long a suicide mission. This was war. We were going to win. And we were going to go back to our mates. All of us were.
