“Nine days,” Milan said. “We have nine f*****g days to find a solution, or we’re f****d!”
“That won’t be necessary,” we all looked to the door and saw Rylee. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days.
“Rylee, sweetheart, you should be resting,” Grace said to her. Rylee just shook her head. Just then, Lorenzo came in behind her with two duffle bags.
“Mr. Rossi, what’s going on?”
“We’re leaving,”
What the f**k?
***Kendrick’s
P.O.V.***
“We’re leaving,” Lorenzo said.
“What do you mean by ‘we’?!” I asked standing from my seat looking at them.
“I’m leaving with Lorenzo,” Rylee answered.
“WHAT?!” we all shouted. I ran around from the desk and grabbed her shoulders.
“Rylee, why?”
“I don’t want to be here anymore,” she said softly. “I can’t be here anymore, it hurts too much,” her eyes glistened with tears. “Sweetheart, you can’t leave us. You’re the Luna, we need you here,” Grace said to her.
“I’m sorry Aunt Grace, but I can’t be the Luna. I’m not strong enough anymore. My bond with Wyatt is broken, and I can’t bear to see him with so much hatred towards me anymore. It just hurts too much, and I can’t take it any longer. I love Wyatt so much, but he hates me, and it’s just too much to handle,”
“Mr. Rossi, did you coerce her!?” Ronan asked.
“No he didn’t,” Rylee replied. “I asked him. I wasn’t even aware that he had threatened you all until the other day,”
“Rylee, give us time to fix this,” I said to her. “Come on, this isn’t over yet,”
“I’m sorry Kendrick, I’m sorry everyone, but I just can’t do this anymore. Three weeks of pure unadulterated hate from the person who’s supposed to love and cherish you is just too much pain for me. My powers are all out of control, and I’m afraid that if Wyatt does anymore mean things to me, I’m going to snap and I can afford to hurt anyone with my loss of control,” she was doing this for us. She didn’t want to unintentionally hurt us if she lost control of her powers. “But, Rylee, you’re…”
“I’m okay, Aunt Grace. I can handle it, and Lorenzo will be there to help me. He’s lived a long time, and I’m sure he knows people who can take care of me when the time comes,” I didn’t understand what Rylee was saying. When what time comes? I thought to myself. “Rylee, please don’t leave,” Melody said. I turned around and saw that she and Milan were on the brink of tears.
“I’m sorry Melody, I’m sorry Milan, but it’s over. Wyatt doesn’t want me anymore, regardless of what caused the change, and I don’t want to be here any longer,”
“Rylee tell me what you need. Tell me what I can do to get you to stay,” I tell her. Pleading with her to change her mind.
“There’s nothing you can do Kendrick,” she said coldly. “Thank you everyone for loving me for me and giving me a home for the last few months. I’ll never forget any of you, and I will always love you. You’re the family that I never got to have, and I’m so grateful for the time I got to have with you,” “Rylee, please,” I begged her.
“Jason, will you please look after Victor? And please make sure that when the rogue issue is figured out and fixed, that he gets home to his family. Nothing is more than important than getting him home to his family, and any of the other missing people that you guys save. Melody, I pray that you and Michelle have healthy and smooth pregnancies and I’m sorry that I can’t be there for you guys for when they’re born. Aunt Grace, Uncle Ronan, thank you for sharing all of your memories of my parents with me and thank you for being the parents that I never got to have. Kendrick, thank you for being the big brother that I never had. You and Wyatt were there for me when I was alone, and you both gave me hope of a better life. You’re going to make a great Alpha,” I couldn’t help the tears that were falling from my eyes. Rylee was really going to leave. “Will you please give this to Wyatt, after I’m gone?” she asked while handing me a note and a jewelry box. I took them from her.
Without another word, she turned her heel and left. Lorenzo looked at all of us and bowed his head.
“I promise to look after her with great care. No harm will come to her,” he said and also left. I turned to look at everyone and we were all shocked. No one said anything, Grace and the girls were crying while Jason and Ronan looked like they wanted to rip Wyatt’s head off. The sudden shock of her leaving finally snapped and I ran after her. As if they also finally came to their senses, everyone was running after me as well.
“RYLEE!!” I shouted as I skipped down the stairs as fast as I could. “RYLEE COME BACK!!!” I sent a mind link to guards,
Stop the Luna! Do not let her or Lorenzo leave!!!
YES, BETA!!
Who was I kidding? I already knew they didn’t stand a chance against Rylee and Lorenzo, but I had to try and stall. But by the time, I got the front door, it was wide open, and the guards were on the ground groaning. “What the f**k happened!?” I asked. Jason and Ronan were helping them to their feet.
“Mr. Rossi, he lifted us in the air and made us collide with each other and then we dropped us from a height of twenty feet,” one of the guards said. “Where are they!?”
“They used their speed, Beta, they’re already at the gate,” we were too late.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
After William knocked around the guards, he and I used our super-speed to get to the gate of the territory. He took care of the guards at their posts by keeping them down on the ground with his powers without hurting them. I stood on the outskirts of the border of our territory looking back at the territory and the small bit of the castle that I could see. It looked so small from this spot.
“Rylee, it’s time,” William said to me. I looked at him and couldn’t help the tears. I looked back at my pack, my home, and held my chest as I as muttered the next words,
“I, Ryan Lee Duquesne…” I paused to catch my breath. “…and my unborn child hereby cut all ties and alliances with the Blue Lake pack. I also hereby lay down my title and position as Luna,” I felt my bond with my pack break and the pain of losing the bond with over 800 people was like a stone bridge collapsing. I was seriously hating this next part.
“Rylee, we don’t have much time, I can’t hold down these guards forever,” I look at the guards who had pain in their eyes. They just witnessed me cut all ties with them, and they were hurt. I mouthed the words ‘I’m sorry’ to them and looked back at the territory. I held my heart knowing that this next part was going to be worse, and it was going to hurt, a lot.
“I, Rylan Lee Duquesne, re…reject you Wy…Wyatt Valencia, as my mate,” I felt our bond fully break and a pain I never experienced before enveloped over my body forcing me to my knees. “AHHHH!!!!!” I screamed at the top my lungs from the pain and the tears of the anguish of losing the love of my life flooded down my face like a waterfall. My cries shook the gates of the pack and I shot out a force so great it actually broke the iron gates and ripped out several dozen trees from their roots. I didn’t even know how long I was on my knees crying until William came to my side,
“Rylee, we must go,” William helped me to my feet, and held me by my shoulder with one arm, while he carried our two bags in his other hand. I looked back once more with blurred vision, and said these final words,
“I love you, Wyatt,” before turning away and leaving for good. ***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
I was sitting on the couch in my commons area thinking of everything that had been happening since I came back. It’s been three weeks since I apparently disappeared, and three weeks where nothing made any more sense. Kendrick was right about one thing though; I was missing something. Almost everyone adored Rylee, and almost everyone was angry at me. I honestly thought it had to do with her putting a spell on them, but then I saw that not everyone actually liked her.
It happens in a pack as big as this. You have to respect the ranked members, but it doesn’t mean you have to like them, and that’s what I started to notice. Pack members respected her, but not all of them actually liked her, which meant that my family and friends weren’t under a spell. Could Rylee really be my mate and Luna, and I was just not remembering? But that didn’t make sense. I’ve always dreamed of having my mate and a Luna for my pack. I would never forget someone as important as my mate. “UGH!” I grunted and rubbed my face. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I went to go open it, and I was surprised at who I saw,
New Book: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
