“If his or her bond with Wyatt is as strong as it’s supposed to be, then yes, your pup should react whenever it senses Wyatt,” he answered.
“No wonder you kicked me so hard yesterday,” I said down to my pup. William and Olivia looked at me funny. “The moment Wyatt was in front of me, my pup kicked me so hard it made me shout in pain. And the moment that Wyatt caught me from falling and held me in arms, my pup kicked again, and I know that Wyatt felt it,”
“Wyatt feeling that kick may make him feel drawn to you without knowing why,” Olivia said, and I nodded my head.
“Olivia, why did you say you couldn’t help gain his memories back?” I asked her. I know she told me, but I forgot why.
“A spell such as the one used on Wyatt can only be reversed by the witch who cast it. It’s done that way so no other witch, good or dark can tamper with it. As I said, this spell is normally used to help individuals forget about their mates or loved ones that rejected them and cause them pain, but someone obviously used it in a more heinous way. There is also no way to tell what witch cast the spell,”
“Do you think the spell on Wyatt will ever be reversed?”
“That we’re not sure, but, what we need is for Wyatt to be with you when you give birth,” William answered.
“What? Why?”
“It’s the only way that your powers will fully develop,”
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me that earlier!?!”
“Because you were under so much stress with Wyatt’s memory loss, that we were afraid you would have a miscarriage. That’s why when you asked if I would escort you away from the pack, I said yes,” “How am I supposed to get Wyatt to be with me when I give birth, especially if his memories never come back!?”
“Regardless if he gets his memories, we need him to be with you when you give birth,” William said to me. “I took you away from the pack so that you can have a stress free pregnancy, I never imagined you would run into Wyatt so soon as after leaving,” “So soon!? It’s been two months!!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. All of this important information and they’ve been keeping it secret from me. I just crossed my arms and scoffed at how ridiculous all of this was. So much for a stress-free pregnancy. “Rylee, if by chance Wyatt doesn’t find you and your pup before your due date, we may need to contact Grace and Ronan to get their help. After all, they are the grandparents, they were always on your side. I’m sure they would do anything to help you,” William said to me. I let out a deep and frustrated sigh not knowing how to comprehend everything that he and Olivia told me. “Why don’t you think about it. I need to get to work,” he said and got up and left. I sat the table with Olivia in uncomfortable silence. Why couldn’t my life be easy? Why did I have to be a Primordial?
Rylee, do you regret being what we are?
Right now I do. You can’t tell me that you don’t have regrets, Kaleigh.
My only regret is leaving our mate and our family.
Kaleigh! Wyatt tried to kill us!
But that wasn’t him! You know that deep in your heart that he would never hurt us on purpose.
But he did hurt us on purpose! He knew what he was doing! Regardless of what he thought of us, Wyatt hurt me, he hurt us! He could have hurt our pup!
Wyatt didn’t know about the pup back then.
I think that’s a good thing. He would have hurt the pup. With the way, he was acting, and his constant denial of us being mates, he would have rejected the pup and possibly tried to harm it. That’s why I had to leave. I had to protect our pup. We agreed on that. I know we did, but seeing him yesterday, and hearing everything William just said to us, we should have waited it out.
No, I couldn’t take the torment anymore. Even if we have to face him for the birth of our pup, I can’t go back.
Not even if he gets his memories back?
You heard Olivia, only the witch that cast the spell on him can reverse it. I doubt whoever is behind this will willingly give Wyatt back his memories.
But what if he does, what will you do?
I honestly don’t know, Kaleigh, I really don’t. On the one hand, I miss Wyatt more than anything and I still love him with all my heart, even with our bond being broken. The bond is what led me to Wyatt, it’s not what made me love him. But I don’t know if I could ever let go of what Wyatt did to me.
Even for our pup’s sake? Do you really want our pup to grow up without their father? Without their family? Without their pack? Like you did?
Hearing her say that really put a new perspective on my choices. I knew what it was like to grow up without a family, to have it ripped away from because of someone else’s poor choices, and if I chose not to forgive Wyatt, then I would be robbing my baby of their family too. Only it wouldn’t just be their father. I would be taking away their aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, and their pack. And what if something were to happen to me? Who would watch over my pup? I covered my face with hands as my brain started to hurt with all of the what-if questions. “Rylee, are you okay?” Olivia asks.
“No, Olivia, I am not okay!! What kind of stupid question is that!?” I snap at her. “I get that you’re not capable of helping Wyatt because the witch who cast the spell has to be one reverse it, but that didn’t give you and William the right to lie to me these last two months!” “We didn’t lie, we omitted,”
“SAME DIFFERENCE!!!” I roared shaking the table. “You both withheld information from me, very important information and you wait until I’m emotionally vulnerable to tell me!?”
“I told Lorenzo to tell you right away, but he felt that telling you too soon would sway your decision on whether or not to take back your rejection and stay at Blue Lake,” “YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IT WOULD HAVE!! I would have at the very least, stayed in the pack, but away from Wyatt until my pup was born!”
“What if Wyatt tried to hurt you again, or worse, your pup?”
“I think about that all the time, but in all honesty, now that I really think about it, I don’t think my pup and I would have been in any real danger. Everyone would have protected me, they would have protected my pup, and I let my fear of the unknown guide my decision to leave my pack and my mate. Had William been upfront with me from the beginning about who I am, what I am, and how it all affects my life, I wouldn’t be sitting here, essentially a single mother!”
“You’re right, I agree with you 100%, and unfortunately, Lorenzo has never really been the most forthcoming, and that’s his biggest flaw. I also think that he tries to protect his descendants from the heartache that he suffered. After all, being the first Primordial to ever exist, and the only one to have survived all of his other descendants, he’s been very lonely. Remember, he’s seen all of the Primordials and he’s trained them. He’s also seen all of them meet their demise one way or another, and I think he was trying to protect you from that,”
“If I’m supposed to be the chosen one, then I didn’t need protection. I needed honesty and clarity! My bond with Wyatt may have faltered by Wyatt’s treatment of me after he lost his memory, but I broke it completely because of William’s inability to be truthful! And now, I have to figure out a way to get Wyatt to be there for the birth of our pup that he probably doesn’t even know about, let alone even cares about!”
“Which is why we think you should contact Wyatt’s parents. They would help you, wouldn’t they?”
“I would hope that they would. That’s assuming that they don’t feel betrayed by me for leaving the way I did. Even when Wyatt denied my being his mate, and my being the Luna of the pack, Grace, Ronan, and the others never once left my side. They were there for me, and I abandoned them. I abandoned my pack, which is something I regret more than anything now that I think about it. I made the decision to leave, along with my wolf to protect my pup, but in end, all I’ve done is hurt me and my pup more because we’re not with the people we love and who love us. The really shitty part is that even if I were to go back, Wyatt’s memories are probably still gone, and I know for a fact that he would never let me back in. So, either way, I’m pretty much f****d at this point!” I cried hating myself for being so weak that I gave up and left without a fight. Kaleigh was right, we never should have left, even if we both thought it was the right thing to do at the time, and now, I can never go back.
“Rylee, I don’t want you to think overthink any of this. Yes, it has gotten more complicated than Lorenzo, or I would have liked, but what’s done is done. We still have the very least, six weeks left of your pregnancy, before we need to make a decision,” I wiped the tears from my face and just stared out the window. If I made the decision to contact Grace, would she be willing to help me?
***Wyatt’s
P.O.V.***
The second day of the convention could not have gone any slower. I was so eager to my memories and focus on finding Rylee making amends with her, but at the same time, I couldn’t get the green-eyed brunette from yesterday out of my head. I kept wondering why I was drawn to her the moment I saw her sitting at the table and feeling a connection with her baby when it kicked. I kept telling myself it was because I knew that Rylee was pregnant and being close to a pregnant girl just reminded me of her. The day seemed to dread on, and it took everything that I had in me to keep myself from f*****g up the final presentation to potential contractors and clients. Once I got through the day, it thankfully ended with no hiccups and more business for my company. I didn’t even wait for the team to pack up. I said my goodbyes and my goodnights and told them I would be taking some personal leave and working from home if they needed me. This was nothing new for me, so my team just smiled and closed the convention without me.
Angelo got me home in record time knowing that I was anxious to finally get my memories back. When I ran through the castle to the pack hospital, I found Svetlana’s room, and I was glad to see that she was awake.
“Ah, Alpha, I see that you are eager to get started,” she said in her Russian accent.
