Tattooed Luna



"Don't do it!" Alec growled in my ear.

"He's going to die! Anthony is on top and his claws are inches above his neck. Penny said he would challenge him if needed!" My voice didn't sound like me as I pleaded for him to understand.

"I'm coming back. I'll give Adalynn to you and help Colt. Don't get involved!" Alec screamed.

I didn't have a choice. There was a little red line that traveled down Colt's neck as they fought for dominance. "I'm sorry, I have to!"

I didn't cut the mind-link but I didn't listen to whatever Alec said. Instead, I ran full speed at Anthony. The goal wasn't to engage but to buy Alec time. They were so focused on eachother. As soon as I was close enough, I dropped my shoulder and rammed into his rib cage. Three sickening snaps vibrated my shoulder from his rips as we rolled end over end of each other.

Since I had expected the outcome, I was the first to get up. Anthony's eyes followed me as I ran to the section of the bank that was more secured and away from the neighbors. "Alec! Meet us in the secure place and quick!" I yelled.

I didn't look back. Anthony's footsteps were right behind me. I couldn't hear Colt though. The closer Anthony got, the more I relied on my agility. Dodging to the left when he went to swipe at me but it slowed me down.

"Come to the left!" Alec yelled in my mind.

Not even questioning him, I tumed enough that my foot slipped. It was easier to catch myself but Anthony completely lost his balance and tumbled. "ALEC!" | screamed as I saw him step through the brush. Adalynn was awake and watching everything unfold.

"Here!" He practically tossed Adalynn in my arms as he went off to keep Anthony from getting to me. "Get to the safe room." He said in the mind-link.

I wasn't going to argue but as I turned to leave, Colt wasn't there. Scanning the area, Penny's voice echoed in my head. Where was my brother?

Moving as quickly as I could with Adalynn, we made our way back to where I last saw Colt. He was still on the ground, not moving.

"COLT!" I yelled before running up to him.

His eyes found mine but mine were stuck on the red slash across his neck. He opened his mouth to speak but I silenced him with a look. Setting Adalynn down, my wolf immediately pushed me back. I was so shocked that I couldn't even fight her.

Colt's eyes flashed and I realized his wolf came forward as well.

They locked eyes and it was as if they reached to out to eachother. I knew we were twins and our wolves were ancient but it never dawned on me how close our wolves really were. It wasn't like they were individuals, it was as if they were two parts that connected as one. The wolf spirit grew as they blended and focused their healing powers on Colt's throat. It only took a few seconds but Colt's cut meshed together before sealing itself. Once they were satisfied it was healed, they bowed their heads to separate.

It was physically painful but the power was so great that when they separated it was a relief. They were too large for one person to handle so they split themselves. The connection everyone called weird, the telepathy we had and even the verbal communication finally made sense to me. We weren't just normal twins. We were literally two part of the same soul.

"Is he dead?" Colt asked as he jumped up, almost knocking me over in the process. "No, go help Alec!" I yelled at him. He glanced at Adalynn before taking off down the beach.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come on, baby," I whispered as picked up my daughter. Taking a moment to relish in the comfort she provided me. Adalynn laid her head on my shoulder.

As happy as I was that she was back in my arms, but I needed to know how the most important men in my life were doing. Wanting to stay hidden, I stayed right on the edge of the brush. Slowly creeping my way until their grunts were loud enough to tell me they were near.

Right as I got into view, relief flooded me as I saw Alec land a perfectly placed punch to Anthony's kidneys. He fell over in pain, hunched in a ball. At this point, they were getting their anger and frustration out on him before they took him out.

"Stop playing with your food." I told Alec in the mind-link.

He looked around until he made eye contact with me. "I thought you were going to the safe spot."

"I needed to make sure you were okay. I needed to see him die."

Alec didn't answer but stopped Colt from continuing kicking him. Grabbing Anthony by the hair, he turned him around so I could see his face... or what was left. Nothing was recognizable. I knew Alec looked at me before completely snapping his neck in one swift movement.

It was over. It was finally and completely over. Adalynn was safe and everyone that has ever hurt us was dead. Unless anyone else betrayed us, we were safe.

So many emotions tried to break free. Happiness and relief were the largest but all the pain that I have endured was seeping out of my eyes in the form of tears.

Holding Adalynn as tightly as I could, I almost fell but a pair of arms wrapped around me, keeping me from falling.

"Come on." Alec whispered and helped me walk back towards the house. The neighbor's lights were off, making it easier for Colt to carry Anthony's body back up the steps. Alec and I stayed in the shadows, waiting.

It didn't take long for flames to be visible and Colt run out of the house. We didn't stick around and wait. The four of us headed to the car. Alec sat in the back with Adalynn and I as we drove to the plane.
