Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“It’s okay, I understand. It’s like told the guards a little while ago, I’m not here to step on anyone’s toes, or try to replace your previous Luna, I know I never can. I’m just asking not to be judged for something I had no control over,”
“We understand. Melody just takes longer to get over stuff, but she will warm up soon,” Michelle answered while patting my shoulder. I smiled and left the nursery going back up to our room so I could feed Sam and put him down for a nap. When I got there, I made sure to lock the door behind me. As soon as sat down in the rocking chair to feed Sam, I got a text,
Melody: I’m sorry, I know that was a little harsh. You know it’s all an act right?
Me: Of course I do. I hear your thoughts, and I know you hate doing it.
Melody: Everyone knows I hold grudges for a while, so just hang a little more. We’ll get back to the way things were between us soon.
Me: Don’t worry about it. I’m not taking it personally or seriously. I’m kind of glad to know that if Wyatt ever did bring a stranger to replace me, you guys would always have my back.
Melody: Always and forever sister.
Me: I need to feed Sam. Talk to you later.
I put the phone down, and lifted my arm out of my shirt, unhooking the front of my bra. Sam immediately latched on, and I just leaned back and relaxed.
When I felt Sam detach on his own, I lifted him up and burped him before placing him in the bassinet. He had a full tummy and was officially in a milk coma. I smiled down at him and went over to the bed to get a nap in before Wyatt came home. ***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
I was at the office today and I honestly hated it. It was only my second day back after bringing Rylee home, but I hated having to be here. So much work was put off because I was unavailable while I was on my “trip,” so I had a lot of papers to go through, a lot of contracts to sign, and a lot of meetings to get through.
After my fifth meeting for today, I finally had a break and eating a very late lunch in my office when Adriana paged me, “What is it?”
“Mr. Valencia, there is a Richard Griffin here to see you,”
“Let him in,” I stood up from my desk and the door opened revealing Alpha Richard of the Gold Moon pack. We shook hands and waited for the door to close. Adriana was human, so we couldn’t address each other until she was out of earshot. “Alpha Wyatt, it’s been a while,”
“Alpha Richard, what are you doing here?” I asked him and guided him to my guest’s chair.
“I’m here to discuss the finding at Halfmoon,” this immediately piqued my interest. “As you know, Eric was found guilty of the premeditated murder of Alpha Mitchell, as well as the unlawful killing of his pack, on top of turning Ryan into a slave,” I nodded my head. “Well, taking into account what your pack had reported about human kidnappings, the Elder’s investigators didn’t find any humans at Halfmoon,”
“What? But my source said that…”
“Hold on, I’m not finished,” he said stopping me. I sat back and waited for him to continue, “Although they didn’t find any humans, they did however find traces of humans around the territory,” “Traces?”
“Yes, human scents, DNA, and some human remains,” “WHAT!?”
“As far as I have been told, they are holding humans hostage somewhere within their territory, and they tried to look for the bunker your source informed you about; however, they couldn’t find it. As of right now, Halfmoon is being watched with a magnifying glass,” “We need to find the remaining humans Richard, they deserve justice,”
“Indeed they do, but right now, our biggest concern is exposure. There’s a possibility these remaining human victims know of our existence,” he gave me a look of concern and contemplation.
“Wait, are you insinuating that they won’t be set free even if they are found?”
“I don’t know to be quite honest. Based on what you’ve told me, there have over 100 hundred human kidnappings across the country and only one survivor. He alone is already a risk, but since you’re keeping him contained at Blue Lake, the Elders are not worried, yet,”
“I’m not containing him. He’s being given sanctuary within my pack. He’s more than able to leave if he wants to. I gave him a choice and he chose to stay until this is all over,”
“Alpha Wyatt, the Elder’s may not allow him to leave your pack grounds because of the fear of exposure,”
“Alpha Richard, you can’t possibly be suggesting that the Elders want me to kill him, are you?” he just lowered his head without saying anything. “This is f*****g ridiculous! We don’t kill humans without cause! These humans aren’t hunters, they’re victims, and they’re practically all kids!”
“I understand where you’re coming from, I really do, but the exposure risk is too great with that many survivors. Honestly, it makes me sick to my stomach these kids may have to lose their lives after all this because of Halfmoon,” “There has to be an alternative solution,”
“I’m sure there is, and we will need to come up with one before the Elders rain fire on Halfmoon,” I nodded my head. “That’s not the only thing I wanted to talk about. I heard what happened between you and Ryan, are you okay?” “It’s Rylee, she hated the name Ryan, but honestly, not really. But, I have to move on. She left me, and I don’t know where she is,”
“What happened?” I gave Richard the play by play, about what happened to me, why it happened, who was behind it, and the overall outcome of it all. Richard was completely appalled at what I had just told him. I even went so far as to tell him that I slept with another woman and got her pregnant. Getting another Alpha to buy into our act would really sell this. “Wait, you what? You got another she-wolf pregnant, that wasn’t your mate, while you still had a mate, but didn’t know was your mate?” “Pretty much,”
“But because your bond with Rylee was broken due to the dark magic, she didn’t know?”
“I honestly don’t know if Rylee knew or not, I didn’t really pay much attention to her. I’m disgusted with myself believe me, but what’s done is done. Megan is going to be my new chosen mate,”
“The irony of all this is astounding. The fact that your new chosen mate has the same name as Rylee’s late mother,”
“Yeah, no kidding,”
“Wyatt, can I give you some advice, Alpha to Alpha,”
“Please,”
“Don’t blame yourself for what happened between you and Rylee. It wasn’t your fault, and it wasn’t hers either. What happened to the two of you is the fault of someone who doesn’t respect the mate bond and wanted to fulfill their own greed. If you do see Rylee again, my suggestion is that you make amends, but let her go. You have Megan now, and you share a son together. I know you loved your first mate, hell, that’s why the investigation into Eric started in the first place, but everything happens for a reason. You and Megan share a bond because you share a child. Don’t be like Eric and get caught up on your first love, because in the end, you’re going to hurt Megan, and she’s innocent in all of this,” I just nodded to everything he said. “Rylee is gone, my friend, and I hope that she is happy and healthy wherever she is,”
“Thank you, Richard, I’ll take what you said to heart and really think about it,”
“Tell me, do you have feelings for Megan? Something that’s more than platonic?”
“I do, we both do,”
“Then go with the flow, see where it leads you,” I nodded my head and gave him a smile. Richard and I shook hands before he left, and he promised to keep me apprised of the Halfmoon investigation.
I really took what he said to heart. Knowing that Megan was Rylee in disguise and that Rylee and I already made amends. Could I really live the rest of my life with Megan? .
