Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
I pictured myself warm by the fireplace being held by Wyatt and making smores. I held out my arms, and closed my eyes, taking in the harsh winds and icy snow hitting what little of my face was exposed. I decided to create a vector shield around us. I pushed back the wind and the snow, and sure enough, when I opened my eyes, Lorenzo and I were in a little cocoon of empty space with the wind, snow, and ice just outside of us.
“Very good,” he said and clapped his hands. “Perfectly executed, Luna, you’re getting better and better with time, and I’m very proud of how far you have come,”
“Thank you,” I said sincerely. Even I was amazed at how well this vector formed around us.
“You’re more in control of your emotions, and which is helping you stay more in control with your powers. Although you haven’t gained any more since I’ve been here, it won’t be surprising if you gain a few more over the next couple of months or years,” “You really think so?”
“I know so,” I just c****d my head at him.
“I think it’s time that I share the last bit of information regarding your heritage as a Primordial. Let us go inside,” I nodded my head, and let the vector fall slowly as we made our way to the castle door. Once we were a few feet away, I dropped the shield, and we ran inside. Once we dusted ourselves off from the snow and ice, we went to my office to speak in private.
“What did you need to tell me?” I asked him once we were both situated at my desk.
“Luna,”
“Please, call me Rylee. I think we’ve known each other long enough to drop formalities,”
“Very well, Rylee,” I smiled at him. “Rylee, there is one more vital piece of information you need to know before I leave you,”
“Leave me?”
“Yes, child. I’m not meant to stay with you. I was merely a teacher to help you reach your full potential, and I think you have now,” I immediately pouted at the thought of him leaving. Lorenzo was the only other werewolf out there who knew what it felt like to be different. “Rylee, you’re not only the chosen one,” “What do you mean?”
“You may be the one who is chosen to destroy Alessandro if he were ever to come after you, but you are also the one that will continue our legacy,”
“What?”
“Rylee, you know that your bond with the Alpha is important right?” I nodded my head. “That is because you are meant to continue our bloodline. You are meant to produce more Primordials,” “WHAT!?”
“You and Wyatt are the chosen pair,” my jaw hit my desk. “When the chosen female is mated to a pureblooded Alpha, their bond will be strongest to ever exist, they will produce the strongest Primordials to ever walk the earth. Rylee, you are not just a Primordial, you are a direct descendant of William, the first Primordial,” “But, there’s no William in my family tree,”
“That’s because your family tree doesn’t go back that far. It’s not supposed to. No one is supposed to know that you’re related to him. He was and is still in fact the strongest. He held all of the powers that our kind could ever possess, and you will too,” “What?”
“Rylee, I believe that you are also immortal,” I audibly gulped. “Just like William,”
“Wait, you said that you’re only one that…” he smirked at me and winked. My mouth opened wide and I staggered back in my chair. “You…You…” I was breathing heavily in shock and disbelief. “You’re William?” “I am,”
“You’ve been lying this whole time!?”
“Omitting the truth,” he said easily with batting an eye.
“But why? Why change your name? Why lie about the powers that you have?”
“Rylee, there are many things I’ve chosen to keep secret, but the fact that you are my granddaughter, and that you will possess all of the powers that I have,”
“You have the power of premonition, don’t you?”
“I do,”
“So, you knew what was going to happen to my family, my pack?”
“I did,”
“THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU STOP IT!?!?!” I screamed slamming my hands on my desk.
“Rylee, I was too late to stop it, but I also didn’t know that you had been born, I was not allowed to know,”
“What do you mean not allowed?”
“Rylee, I signed a contract with higher powers and the with moong goddess that if they were ever to allow your birth, that I would be the last to know if it, and that you would be kept safe at all costs, away from me until the time was right,” “My family dying isn’t keeping me safe!”
“I’m sorry child, but there was nothing I could do. At the time, I was in living in Vanuatu off the grid. When I got the premonition, I wasn’t even aware of who was being attacked,”
“Would have you have stopped it if you could?” I asked as tears fell from my eyes.
“Yes, I would have done everything in my power to save your family,” I sat down and sobbed. “Rylee, I didn’t know it was your family until Wyatt told me about your upbringing. I’m so sorry for what you had to endure, but I believe that it all happened for a reason,” “How can you say that?”
“Rylee, if you didn’t go through everything that you did, I don’t think you would have built up enough strength and willpower to fight back the way that you have. You use the anger and hatred you have for the Halfmoon pack to fuel your rage that helps control your powers. I believe that you being a slave is what kept your identity a secret, until it was time for you to be with Wyatt,” I looked at him and tears have stopped suddenly. He was right, when I was in slavery at Halfmoon, everyone thought I was an Omega. No one knew who I was, let alone what I was. “Rylee, you are destined for greatness, and there isn’t much left that I could teach you,” I let out a sigh, and we just sat in comfortable silence.
This was a lot of information to take in, but one thing I got out of it was that my pups, our pups would also be like me, powerful, and rare. I wonder what Wyatt would think about all of this.
After Lorenzo and I talked, he went back to his room, and I waited for Wyatt to come home. I was getting worried because the storm wasn’t letting up, if anything, it was getting worse. It was past five in the evening, and Wyatt was normally home by now. I tried to call him, but it was going straight to voicemail. I tried to mind link him, but it wasn’t connecting. That only happened when he was out of reach, or if… No, I didn’t want to think the worse. I figured the storm was causing traffic, or road closures and tried to be patient. “Where is he!?” I shouted pacing the living room. It was almost nine in the evening, and Wyatt still wasn’t home. I was starting to panic. Wyatt rarely ever came home late from work, and the off chance that he ever did, he would text or call to let me know. “Rylee, sweetheart, don’t panic, it has to be the storm,” Grace said to me hugging my shoulders to calm me down, but nothing was going to calm me down until Wyatt came through the front door.
“We should send a few warriors out to look for him, this isn’t like Wyatt, and this more than just being a little late,” Milan said. I looked at her and thought about it. The blizzard was really bad, and I didn’t want to risk anyone getting lost or injured, so I opted not to risk anyone else’s life. Wyatt would be upset if I did.
“Okay, if you don’t want any warriors to go, let me and Ken go,” Jason said. I wanted to protest, but before I could, they were out the door and shifted into their wolves.
“I will go with them,” Lorenzo said and followed after the boys. We watched from the front windows as their wolves disappeared into the night.
Please be okay, Wyatt.
