Haven [Tyler Hoechlin]

Chapter 21

The pack was at the Haven trying to break through the mountain ash barrier. They ran at it trying to break through it, pushing as hard as they could. It was a life or death situation at this point. One pack will claim victory and the other will perish.

"What are we waiting for? Them to come to us?" Jensen huffed rolling his eyes.

"Shut up Jensen, nobody asked you to speak." Holland snapped glaring at him.

"You let them break through that line, everyone will die," Jared said trying to reason. "It won't just be those two in there, it will be all of us."

"That doesn't matter, we fight for our pack. If you have a problem, leave." Tyler growled his eyes red. "Holland, it's time to scream. Everyone cover your ears." Holland nodded moving to the front of the group. She took a deep breath before letting out the loudest Banshi scream she's possibly ever made. They watched as the other pack fought to cover their ears at the ear bleeding scream.

"We fight, for our friends, for our family, for our pack. Never let your guard down." Tyler said to his pack. "Break the line!" Tyler wolfed out with everyone else in tow and began running across the field. JR broke the mountain ash line staying back and aiding them with cover fire. He was taking out as many as he could with Crystal and Renee.

"If you're just going to stand there, shoot!" Jr shouted at the two shocked men standing next to him. Jensen and Jared were confused as to why they would just break the line, that was suicide.

"Come on Hanna, just hold on," Dylan says trying to do whatever he could to save her. He wasn't an emissary, he didn't know what he was doing. "I have help on the way, just stay with me." Dylan looked over at Tyler sitting in the corner, all color lost, sweating profusely, he looked worse than when he was shot with a wolfsbane bullet.

"H-how is she?" He huffed out trying to move closer to them. Dylan rushed over setting him back against the wall.

"I think she's stable. Hopefully, my help shows up or we're screwed. This one might actually be helpful." Dylan sighs looking at the door. He could hear the gunshots. The fight already started.

"I should be out there. I should be fighting to protect her." Tyler says trying to stand once again.

"You aren't going anywhere. You can't fight like this Tyler. And if they do break into the house, hopefully, you can fight them if you get some strength back. She needs you in here." Dylan says pushing him back down. "Drink this, it's an herbal tea, it might help with the sweating and the pain." He hands Tyler a cup forcing him to drink some of it. He's running out of options.

"Dylan!" His head snaps up as he hears a voice yell his name.

"Down here!" He yells back going to unlock the safe door. He opens the door finding Seth and Misha on the other side.

"Thank god you two are here." Dylan ushers them into the safe closing the door behind them and locking it once again.

"What happened?" Misha asks looking over Hanna.

"This must have to do with her being bitten, it might finally be trying to take effect and trying to kill her. Tyler what is wrong with you?" Seth asks looking over the wolf.

"Jensen and Jared have lost their fucking marbles, they've caused problem after problem since getting here. They were trying to break Tyler and Hanna up, doing whatever they could to make Hanna snap, and she did." Dylan tries to explain.

"I ran off, being an idiot feeling hurt. She's my mate, I didn't want to think of losing her. She came looking for me, I think when she couldn't find me, something just snapped inside of her. I found her on the ground passed out, she wasn't responding but she was alive." Tyler says beginning to feel guilty, this is his fault. If he wouldn't have let Jensen get to him or her, this wouldn't be happening.

"This isn't your fault Tyler, I don't know what's wrong with those two but they've been off lately. I think they've been cursed or something." Misha says holding some sort of crystal to Hanna's head. "Seth look at this," The what was white crystal was now completely black in a matter of seconds.

"What does that mean?" Dylan asked growing scared.

"She's dying. There isn't much that can save her at this point." Seth sighed digging through his bag pulling out a book.

"No, you have too, please," Tyler said finally standing to his feet. He managed to walk over to the bed Hanna was laying on before falling to his knees. "I can't lose her, she's my everything."

"We can't lose either of you. It's obvious at this point that if she dies, you will two Tyler. Your bond is larger than anyone can imagine at this point." Misha grabs a set of herbs from his bag setting them on Hanna's chest before starting to mumble some sort of spell.

There was banging on the door causing everyone to jump. They all shared a look before Dylan walked to the door. "Dylan! Open the fucking door! They're coming!" It was Posey. They were losing the war. Dylan quickly opened the door watching as everyone ran into the safe as fast as the could trying to carry each other as they did.

"What happened?" Dylan asked looking at his beat-up pack.

"There have to be hundreds of them. We took out a chunk of them before it was becoming impossible to fight them. The alpha hasn't even made an appearance yet." Posey says watching as his wounds slowly begin to heal.

"We were able to make a small mountain ash line around the house to hold them off as we ran inside. I don't think it will take them very long to break through it." JR says out of breath. "They know she's dying. One of them was saying the alpha wanted to claim her, by claiming her she would live. He thinks that if he has her, the rest of us will join his pack and do his bidding."

"That's it! Tyler bite her! Bite her now while you have the strength. If you claim her, she is yours, she will no longer be in limbo with their pack." Misha says looking to the deathly couple.

"But, I'm not an alpha," Tyler says looking to his mate.

"You're not an alpha because you gave up the status when Posey showed his True Alpha, you don't have the red eyes, but you are still an alpha." Misha starts.

"That still doesn't matter, mates come first. Any wolf will do anything for their mate. No alpha, no supernatural can do anything to a mate that has been claimed. If that alpha claims her Tyler, you'll go into a rage and kill everything in sight, that's what he wants." Dylan says looking at his best friend.

"I-I don't want to do it when she has no idea what's going on. It feels wrong." Tyler sighs looking at his deathly mate.

"We don't have time for you to feel bad pretty boy. Either you claim her, or we all die." Jensen snaps walking over to them. "I don't like you, but right now, you're the only thing that can save her. So fucking bite her already."

"I think that the nicest thing you've said since you've got here," Dylan grumbled before getting smacked by Holland. "I know, not the time but it's true." He earns another smack for that as well.

Tyler uses all of his strength to stand to his feet and hold his mate in his arms. "I'm sorry you aren't awake for this, I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how I didn't want to hurt you. You know nothing of this world but you've always been sucked into it. I'll explain everything when you wake up. I love you." Tyler's fangs grew out before he bit down on her shoulder. This was their last hope. It had to work.
