Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 612

“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 turned enough that my foot slipped. It was easier to catch myself but Anthony completely lost his balance and tumbled. “ALEC!” I 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.
