Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“No, never. I was drunk and frustrated because I wanted a mate, and this was obviously when I was still under the impression you were dead. Layla was just there, she had just turned 20 and still had no mate of her own, so I took her bed just for the sake of getting out my frustration. I didn’t know she was a virgin at the time until she told me the next morning,”
“Is there something wrong with being a virgin?”
“Is your case, no, I’m glad you are, but in any other woman’s case, I tended to steer clear from them because of situations like what happened with Layla, they get attached. I couldn’t afford that to happen, but it did,” Rylee didn’t say anything. “I’m sorry you had to see that, I swear I was going to push her away but your scent caught my attention and you ran away before I could,”
“So, you do love me then?”
“I love you so much, baby. Remember, I promised you that you can keep me forever,” she chuckled a little bit. That made me sigh in relief. “If you’re feeling better, we need to get back, everyone is waiting on us,”
“I don’t think Milan is going to happy,” she said.
“Why not?”
“I’m pretty sure my crying messed up her work,” I looked down at her and studied her face. Thankfully, there was enough moonlight. I wipe her tears and the small smudges of makeup around her eyes. “There, perfect,” I tell her. I take her hand and we head back to the party. Once we are back, we go up to the platform and take our seats at the head table. My dad then takes center stage,
“Members of Blue Lake, I wanted to sincerely apologize for the delayed start of this party; however, there was a small mishap that needed to be dealt with. Now that everyone is in attendance, I wanted to take this time to share a bit of good news,” he smiled and looked at Rylee and me. I held her hand under the table and interlocked our fingers. Her hand just fit in mine so perfectly. “I am happy to say that my son, our Alpha, Wyatt Valencia, has found his mate!” People immediately started to cheer and whistle. My dad gestured for us to stand and join him center stage. Rylee and I got up and stood next to him. “Members of Blue Lake, I give you, Ryan Lee Duquesne, your future Luna!” Rylee bowed her head and the crowd erupted in a massive cheer that echoed through the mountains. It was so loud that you could hear the windows of the castle shaking. I held up my hand to get everyone to quiet down.
“Thank you members of Blue Lake. It is an honor that I present to you my beautiful mate and your future Luna. Please show her the kindness, respect, and love that she is due. She is a bit shy and reserved, so please, give her time to get acclimated to her new life,” “YES ALPHA!!!”
“Alright, everyone, eat, and drink to your heart’s desire!” My father announced. He then turned to me. “Do you mind telling me why you were late?”
“Layla made an appearance and it caused a misunderstanding between us,” My dad pinched the bridge of his nose. “We’re fine dad, I explained it all to her, and she’s okay now,” he looked at me and then at Rylee who just smiled and nodded.
“Fine, but your mother is probably going to want to wring Layla’s neck for upsetting Rylee,”
“I hope she does. I wish I could just banish her,”
“She hasn’t broken any laws son, she’s just…”
“She’s annoying as fvck, and almost cost me my relationship with Rylee before it even began,”
“Wyatt, I said I’m okay now, just let it go,” Rylee says and squeezes my hand.
“She’s right, son. You both go sit down and eat dinner, I’m sure Rylee must be starving,”
I took Rylee back to our table, and once an Omega brought us our plates, Rylee wasted no time in digging in. She was so happy being able to eat on her own accord. I’m pretty certain this was the first time in the last eight years she’s been able to eat three meals back to back.
After we both finished eating, we went around to all the tables so Rylee could introduce herself, and almost everyone who met her was excited and happy she was here. Younger pups came up and hugged her, and those that were in wolf form bowed their heads in respect. Although I had to put some males in their place for staring at her with lustful eyes, they easily turned their gaze and apologized. They couldn’t help it though, Rylee may be my mate, but she is still unmated and unmarked, and that was going to be a problem for a little while.
When we got around to the final two tables, it just happened to be the table where Layla and her group of annoying friends were sitting. Rylee tensed a little when she saw that it was Layla, but I put my arm around her waist, and helped her through it, “Good evening, ladies,” I greet them.
“Good evening, Alpha,” they all said, except for Layla. She was staring daggers at Rylee.
“I would like you all to meet, Rylee,”
“Good evening, Luna,” they all said, except for Layla again.
“Good evening, it’s a pleasure to meet you all,” Rylee said sweetly and sincerely. Even with Layla being an utter b***h and completely disrespectful, Rylee was calm and cool.
“Luna, may I ask how old you are?”
“I just turned 18,”
“Oh wow, Luna, you’re really young,”
“I seem to get that a lot tonight,” Rylee said with a small laugh.
“I love your dress, Luna,”
“Thank you…”
“My name is Michelle,”
“Oh, well thank you, Michelle, Milan actually helped me pick it out,”
“Oh, no wonder. Milan as a great fashion sense,”
“I sure do!” Milan said coming up to us with Jason by her side.
“Good evening, Gammas,” the table greeted them. Layla just crossed her arms and sneered.
“Layla!” Jason shouted. “Did you just sneer at us!?”
“No, Gamma, I was just…”
“Babe, stop, she’s probably just a little butt hurt now that Wyatt is off-limits,” Milan said, rubbing salt in Layla’s wounds. Layla scowled at Milan. “Scowl all you want, Layla. Everyone in this pack knows that you’ve been pining over the Alpha ever since he slept with you, which I will never understand how that happened no matter how drunk he got. He is off limits now, understand,”
“Yes, Gamma,”
“Good,” she turned back to Rylee and me and winked. “I’m ready for some dessert, are you?” she asks us. I looked down at Rylee and smile completely took over her face.
“Good night, ladies,”
