Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Son, don’t think about that just yet, we need to find her first,” I nodded my head and lied back on the bed. I needed to find Rylee before it was too late.
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
It’s been two weeks since I got my memories back, and Svetlana’s leg has finally healed. She’s been coming in and out of the castle under the radar so that Layla won’t know she’s been helping us. My father got in touch with Alpha Richard of the Golden Moon pack, and he’s reported to the Elders what Ash and Emma have done. The Elders council will be sending an investigator to Halfmoon to look into the kidnappings, as well as the possible murders. According to Svetlana, any humans that hadn’t been turned yet were being held in a secret bunker at Halfmoon, but it is highly plausible that those humans are dead.
We’ve updated Victor on everything that has happened, and we allowed him to confront Svetlana for her role in his kidnapping. She’s apologized for turning him, but she assures that she played no part in his girlfriend’s death. All the killings were done by Ash and Emma, and so far, Svetlana hasn’t given us a reason not to trust her. We’re keeping Victor until Halfmoon is dismantled so that we can keep his family safe from the potential blowback.
I haven’t gone back to work since and will be working from home permanently until we find Rylee. I was in my office answering emails and signing paperwork when Svetlana appeared, “Alpha,”
“Svetlana, what have you found?”
“Something interesting, actually,” she said and came and sat down in the guest chair at my desk. “Alpha, I think I figured out the witch who is helping your mate and that Lorenzo Rossi stay hidden,” “Who?”
“Her name is Olivia. She is a good witch, and she’s quite powerful. I honestly should have figured it was her when you said something about Mr. Rossi saying his witch friend created the potion I used on the humans. Why it didn’t dawn on me before I’ll never know, but then again, I don’t typically pay attention to the sanctuary’s owner when I rob it,”
“Get to the point Svetlana,”
“My point is, Olivia has a tendency of being repetitive and redundant, which is how I was able to break into her sanctuary. She uses the same spells over and over again, which makes her predictable. She always tends to use the same cloaking spell whenever she goes into hiding, which means, it will be easier to find her,”
“A cloaking spell?”
“Yes, one that changes one’s physical appearance. It is possible that she also used this spell on Mr. Rossi and your mate,”
“What?” she just gave me a look and lifted her brows at me. “Are you saying that Rylee could be hiding in plain sight!?”
“That is exactly what I am saying. When you were without your memories, did you meet anyone that you seemed to drawn to?” I thought about it a minute and then it dawned on me,
“I did, the same day I met you at the hotel,”
“What did she look like?”
“Petite, long brunette hair, green eyes, freckles, and…” a stopped a moment. “…She was pregnant,” Svetlana’s eyes brightened, and she smiled at me. “Wait, are you thinking that…” “Highly possible, tell me, were you also drawn to her baby?”
“Yeah, I was. I felt it kick, and it made my heart stop a second, but I thought it was because I was just drawing the comparison to Rylee being pregnant,”
“You see, Alpha, even though your bond with your mate is currently broken, it doesn’t affect the bond you have you with your unborn child. My understanding is that for a wolf, each parent’s bond with their young starts from the minute they are conceived. You said you felt the baby kick, what were you doing at the time?”
“The girl, she tried to leave, and she ran straight into Angelo’s chest. Him being as big as he is, it would feel like hitting a brick wall, so she stumbled backward, and I caught her before she fell. The baby kicked a second later, and it was hard, I saw the girl’s face contort from the pain,”
“Alpha, I do believe that pretty brunette was your mate in disguise, and that her baby kicking was actually your pup reacting to your touch, knowing that its father was in close proximity,” I sat back in my chair in utter shock. “Did she say anything to you?” I c****d my head to the side, and thought about if the brunette said anything,
“Yeah, I had asked her about her baby’s father, and she said that she left him because…”
“Because what?”
“Because he hurt her,”
“Well, it appears that your mate was practically screaming “IT’S ME!” to your face, but since your memories at that time were still lost, you couldn’t make the connection, nor feel the pull of your mate even with her in your arms,” “And who’s fault is that!?!” I shouted at her making her jump out of her seat.
“I’ve already apologized a hundred times Alpha, shall make it a hundred and one?” she composed herself before speaking again, “If we can find Olivia in her disguise, it’s highly probable that she will lead us to the Luna,” “What do you need to find her?” I asked.
“Time,” she said with a sigh. “Unfortunately, even though Olivia is predictable, she is by no means stupid. She’s the type that overthinks everything, making her predictability a little complicated,” “What?”
“Let me put it this way, say you flip a coin and ask her to guess heads or tails and she’s the type to get it wrong because she seconds guesses her decision. In order for her to get it right, she has to second guess her logic at least four times before getting it right,” I furrowed my brows at her because I was completely lost in what she said. “Confusing right?” I nodded. “That’s how Olivia’s thinking makes things. I would normally think that she left town, but seeing that you saw your mate just a couple of weeks ago in town, it is possible that they are in Detroit somewhere, though it is possible they were just there for the sake of playing at the casino and actually did go to a different city,”
“What?”
“Alpha, I’m just thinking out loud,” she said and waved me off. “They would need to blend, which means, Olivia would need to get a job, or if Mr. Rossi is with them, then he would need to get a job, and since your mate is pregnant she would need a doctor, and Olivia is just as knowledgeable in the realm of Primordials as I am, which means, she knows that Rylee is the chosen one and that you need be with her at the time of the birth. So, she wouldn’t risk taking her too far away, or far away at all,” she continued and rambling to herself and tapping her chin. “Svetlana!? I need a f*****g answer!!”
“My goodness, so impatient,” she scowled. “Based on what I know about Olivia, and how important it is that you and your mate are reunited, I would have to guess they are still local. That’s the only way you would have ran into Rylee the way you did after only two months. If they had taken her away from here, you would have never even saw her. But I’m wondering why she would be at the hotel the same time you were,”
“Rylee’s not old enough to gamble, and I honestly don’t even think she knows what it is,” “Hmmm…”
“You know, when I arrived at the hotel that Saturday, one of the valet guys stared me,”
“In what way?”
“Um, I only caught a glance, but it was almost as if he was checking me out, but not in the attraction kind of way, but more in the questionable, kind of way,”
“Like he wanted to make sure it was actually you?”
“Exactly,”
“Hmmmm…Perhaps we should go see this valet man,” Svetlana says with a suggestive look.
“Perhaps we should,”
“Well then, I will meet you there, Alpha,” she said and teleported out of my office. I sent an email to my secretary telling her I’ll be unavailable for the rest of the day and left my home office to meet Svetlana at the hotel. As I left my office, I saw that Owen and Hugo were standing guard. “Where’s Angelo?”
“Michelle went into labor about ten minutes ago, sir,”
“I see. You two are relieved for the rest of the day, I have an errand to run,”
