Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
I snuck back into the castle when I smelled something really delicious. It was strange because it was almost nine at night, and I knew for a fact that Mr. and Mrs. Williams never cooked this late. I made my way into the kitchen and saw the Luna, packing up a bunch of food.
“Luna?”
“Oh, hi, Keaton,”
“What are you doing?”
“Melody went into heat, and your brother came down earlier and there was no food for them. If there’s one thing I know is that both male and female wolves require a lot of food during this time, so I figured I would make some easy meals for them to enjoy for the next few days,” “Wow, why didn’t Mr. and Mrs. Williams do it?”
“Well, they did, but I think other pack members ate all the leftovers before your brother came down, so I’m making sure no one eats these. Red containers are for Kendrick and Mel, and the white containers are open for anyone. First come first serve,” “In that case, I missed dinner, may I have one?”
“Sure,” she said and passed me a container. The food inside was still warm, so I didn’t need to heat it up. I opened it up and found lasagna.
“Whoa, you made this?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“No, not at all, it’s just other than Mr. and Mrs. Williams, no one knows how to make lasagna…oh my god, this is so f*****g good!” I stopped missed sentenced after I took a bite making the Luna giggle.
“Well, I’m glad you like it. Do you want something to drink?”
“Coke please,” she went into the cupboard, grabbed a glass, filled with ice, and opened a can for me. “Thank you, Luna,”
“Please, will you just call me Rylee?”
“Sorry, it’s a force of habit,” I replied and inhaled the rest of the lasagna. As much I loved Mr. and Mrs. Williams’ cooking, the Luna sure knew how to do cook.
“So, where were you? I didn’t see you at dinner,”
“Oh, I was just out with a friend,”
“You’re lying,” she immediately said. I stopped mid-bite and looked at her. She was lifting a brow at me.
“Um…”
“If you don’t want to say it out loud, then say it in your thoughts, you already know I have powers,”
I kind of hate this, but then again, I feel like this will stay between us.
“Yes, it will,”
Rylee, I found my mate.
“Oh no,”
I didn’t reject her if that’s what you’re thinking. I found her on her eighteenth birthday, and I’ve been sneaking away to spend time with her. I’m already madly in love with her, and she knows of my situation with Terrine. “And she’s okay with it?”
Hello no, she’s not okay with it. But she’s willing to wait until I find a way out of it. I get it, I made a mistake, and now I have a pup on the way, but I shouldn’t have to be forced to give up the love my life for some lying manipulative b***h.
“I get it, and I understand,” she smiled and sent me a mind link saying she would keep my secret and that would help me lie to Terrine. I finished the lasagna and coke, and Rylee cleaned up my plate for me. While she was cleaning up the kitchen and doing the dishes, the devil came in,
“KEATON!!!” her sudden outburst made Rylee jump out of her skin and drop the glass, making it shatter all over.
“f*****g hell, Terrine, look what you did!” I shouted at her. I ran over to the Luna to make sure she was okay. “GET AWAY FROM HER!”
“f**k off! I’m just trying to help her!”
“Keaton, it’s fine, I can clean this up. You go to bed. Watch your step, glass can fly everywhere,”
“Rylee are you sure?”
“Yes, go,” she insisted so I did. I grabbed Terrine by the arm and dragged her out of the kitchen.
“You’re hurting me!” she yelled.
“Too bad!” I replied back and dragged her back to her room on the second floor. I shoved her onto the bed. “What the f**k is wrong you!?”
“ME!? YOU’RE THE ONE FLIRTING WITH THE LUNA!”
“I wasn’t flirting! She gave me something to eat because I missed dinner! We were just talking! Why the f**k would I flirt with a mated wolf!? Let alone the Luna!? Do you f*****g hear yourself when you talk!?”
“I’m warning you, Keaton, I will not hesitate to put every b***h in this pack in their place if they come near you, I don’t care who they are!”
“Well then, have fun getting banished for breaking pack laws!”
“They can’t banish me! I’m pregnant!”
“Then you better brush up on your pack laws. Wyatt may not want to banish you while you’re pregnant, but it doesn’t mean that he can’t! But he will if you do anything to the Luna!” “And you would actually let him!? I’m pregnant with your pup!”
“Let him? Wyatt is the Alpha! Rylee is the Luna! I have no say in what decisions he makes. If you do anything to any pack member, let alone the Luna, then you deserve to be banished!” “And what about your pup!”
“Then so be it,” I stated without any remorse and left her room slamming the door behind me. Terrine was getting on my last nerve. Just two and a half more months until the pup is born, and then I will get the paternity test done. I get the feeling that Milan and Irene are right. Something about this pregnancy wasn’t right. The one time I touched her belly to feel the pup, I felt nothing. No loving father moment, no sparks, no butterflies, nothing. My dad always said that when my mom was pregnant with me and my brother, he would feel butterflies and different kinds of sparks every time either of us kicked or shuffled around.
