Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Rylee is still local,”
“WHAT?!” they both shouted.
“Yeah,” I just nodded. “Svetlana figured out who the witch is that’s helping them, and we were able to track down Lorenzo. Turns out, he works as a valet at the hotel where the convention was. I think that’s why Rylee was there. She was at the convention because Lorenzo must have invited her. After all, it was an open door event. Anyway, at the time not knowing that this pretty brunette was Rylee, I asked her to clear out of the way and she tried to leave, but she ended up running straight into Angelo and almost fell. I caught her, and I actually felt the pup kick. And man can I say, my pup kicked hard,”
“Actually, that’s not surprising,” Kendrick said. “Sorry, I’m not trying to highjack your story, but when Mel was about three or four months pregnant, I remember I would always touch her belly, and Leighann would kick really hard. Almost as if she were reacting to my touch. I asked my dad about it and he said that the pup can feel the presence of their father when they’re near and will react to their touch. Mel actually hated it because it would hurt her,”
“So, you’re saying that even though I couldn’t recognize Rylee, my pup recognized me?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he replied with one word. I just nodded my head.
“Anywho, Svetlana and I went back to the hotel when she theorized that either the witch or Lorenzo would need to have a job to keep up with appearances, and I had remembered being stared at by one of the valet guys. I originally brushed it off, but after hearing what Svetlana had to say, I figured it was a good place to start, especially if they’re all cloaked in disguises. Sure enough, I was right. The valet guy was Lorenzo, and Svetlana was able to see through the magical barrier shielding his identity. I got Lazarus to look into him, and he found that Lorenzo and the witch whose name is Olivia are living with their niece,”
“Rylee,” they both said, and I nodded.
“When Lazarus sent me the dossier, I saw the picture of this said niece, and it was the same brunette from the convention. That’s how I was able to confirm it was Rylee,” I turned my computer around to show them what Rylee looked like right now. “Damn, that’s a pretty good disguise,” Kendrick said.
“Hold up,” Jason said taking a closer look. “Does that say her name is Megan?”
“Yeah, she gave her alias her mother’s name,” I answered smiling.
“Okay, so tell us why you haven’t gone to get her if you know where she is and who she is?” Kendrick asked.
“Because right now everyone thinks I still have no memory of her. If I try to get Rylee back too soon, we will lose the advantage we have over Layla and Halfmoon,” they both nodded their heads. “Plus, I don’t want to spook Rylee. As of right now, she has no idea I know where she is, and for right now, I want to keep it that way,” “But didn’t Svetlana say that you have to with her when she gives birth? Rylee just has over a month left in her term right?” he said to me.
“Yes, but this can’t be rushed. When I do go get Rylee, I want to make sure that when I look her in the eyes, whether they’re the green eyes of Megan or the chocolate eyes of Rylee, I want her to see that it’s me, and the real me. The Wyatt she loved and lost because of that b***h Layla,”
“What do you have planned for Layla anyway?” Jason asked.
“I’m going to be with Rylee when she gives birth, but I’m going to take Dr. Andrews to her, and have her give birth outside of the pack. Then, when she’s back to her old self, and she’s ready to be with me again, I’m going to bring Rylee back in the form of her alias and claim her as my new chosen mate,”
“What? Wyatt, you’re going to piss off a lot of people,” Kendrick said.
“And what the hell are you going to do about your pup? You can’t just bring in a new girl who happens to be a single mother,” Jason said using finger quotes around ‘new girl’ and ‘single mother’.
“Actually, I’m going to lie and say that I got Megan pregnant during the time I didn’t remember Rylee,”
“Dude, that’s going to piss off your parents,”
“I know it is, but I need to show Layla that no matter what happens in this universe, I will never make her my Luna,”
“What if that plan doesn’t work? What if Rylee won’t go along with it?” Jason asked.
“Then I let Rylee decide on what she wants to do. Either way, I’m not bringing Rylee back until after our pup is born. No one knows Rylee is pregnant except us, my parents, and a select few. Even Angelo and Michelle don’t know Rylee is pregnant and I want to keep it that way. Rylee and our pup’s safety is of the utmost importance, and I will be damned if anyone tries to hurt them or keep me from them. Plus, Rylee is still in danger with the vampire thing. I want her to stay hidden for as long as possible,” “We got you man,” Kendrick said.
“Yeah, we’re behind 100%. As long as we get our Luna back along with the future of our pack safely, we don’t care what she looks like,” Jason added on.
“Remember, this stays between us, and Svetlana. No one else can know. And you two will not try and go find her. If she even senses either one of you, she’s going to run,”
“Don’t worry man, we got it,” Kendrick answered.
After Kendrick and Jason left my office, Svetlana came in and I showed her the files that Lazarus sent me. She said that she would keep an eye on Rylee’s progress with her pregnancy and would let me know the closer it got to her due date.
For the next two weeks, everything pretty much stayed the same, other than the fact that I finally went back to work. I realized that my office was closer to Rylee’s condo, so I would drive by occasionally just to see if I could get a glimpse of her. And every so often, I did. I would see her on her balcony soaking up the sun with another woman who I assumed was Olivia. I tried my best not to go by too often since I didn’t want to blow my cover.
Layla has been pestering me non-stop and still tries to get me to sleep with her. Melody and Milan have been trying their hardest not to kill Layla every time they catch her coming to my floor, or when they see us arguing. Svetlana has even said that Layla has been checking with her to see if the spell is still intact, which, Svetlana lies about. She still hasn’t told me what her problem with Alessandro is, but she is definitely working with us, for now.
Melody and I finally had a talk, and she’s finally forgiven me for what happened. Sierra apologized to Irene after getting settled in her new cottage, and Andrea’s parents confronted me with my decision to banish their daughter. After they heard what she had done, they both understood but asked to be released from the pack so they could go track her down, which I granted. That was one thorn out of my hip.
With summer quickly approaching, and Rylee’s due date only about two weeks away, my plan to win her back was going to be in play faster than I realized, and I was soon going to have to reveal myself to Rylee.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
The last couple of weeks have gone by without incident, but I couldn’t help but feel as if someone were watching me. I did my best to shake off my paranoia, thinking that it was just my nerves from that crazy premonition I had.
My pup has grown quite a bit. So much in fact, that Olivia had to use her magic to make it seem like I was smaller than I actually am when we went to the doctor for my last checkup. Thankfully, my pup is very and very active. He or she has definitely been more active on some days compared to others and I wasn’t sure why. He or she always seemed to move around a lot in the mornings and at night on some days. Other days, he or she was just still and barely did anything.
I haven’t spoken to William much after everything that has happened. I honestly don’t know if I can trust him anymore since he constantly seems to be keeping information from me. Olivia says that he’s apologetic, but I would rather he tell me to my face rather than her. Hell, I’d settle for him telling me through his thoughts, but even that’s too much for his ego.
I was sitting in my room folding up baby clothes that I had just pulled out of the dryer when Olivia came into my room,
“Rylee?” I looked up from what I was doing. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m as large as a whale, how the hell do you think I’m feeling?” I snapped. Did I mention that hormones have gotten the better of me and Olivia and William both annoy me to no end?
“I’m not going to pretend I know how you feel, because I don’t,”
“What do you want Olivia?”
“Have you had a chance to think about if you’re going to call Grace or not? We’re running out of time,” I dropped my hands to my knees while holding one of the baby onesies. I knew I needed to hurry and make a decision to either call Grace or just go back to Blue Lake. I honestly didn’t like either option and wished to the goddess that I could just live my life as a single mother at this point without all of the added drama, but knowing that the vampire will eventually find me, I needed my full powers, and that’s what I hated the most.
I hated that my life was decided for me before I was even born. That was the one thing that I was constantly angry at. I hated that moon goddess, the higher powers, and William at that, decided my fate millenniums ago. I didn’t ask for any of this, and neither did my wolf. We may not have asked for it Rylee, but it was a decision we made together. Remember, we had the option not to be who we are.
