“Megan, are you in here?!” I shouted when I opened the door and I found her on the edge of the bed staring at the floor. She appeared to be deep in thought. I closed the door and locked it, so we weren’t disturbed. “Tink, are you okay?”
“Huh?” she looked up. “What?”
“Are you okay?” I asked again.
“Yeah, I was just thinking,”
“About?” I asked kneeling in front of her.
“Wyatt, I saw you kiss her, or rather, she kissed you,”
“Oh god, are you okay? Were you in pain? I’m sorry, it came out of nowhere…”
“Wyatt, it didn’t hurt,” I leaned back and looked at her confused. “What?”
“It didn’t hurt,” she repeated. I c****d my head and furrowed my brows. “Wyatt, I watched you two kiss, and initially, I was angry and wanted to kill her, but then I realized that it was only me who was angry. Kaleigh wasn’t reacting. That’s when I also realized that even though you were kissing another girl, it didn’t cause me pain,” I lifted an eyebrow this time. “Wyatt, Kaleigh says that this fake Rylee is as real as I am,” “I…I don’t…” I squinted my eyes in confusion.
“She says that this Rylee is a clone. A replica of me, and because of that, we’re the same person, which is why when you kissed her, it didn’t hurt me,” I stared at her blankly trying to control my thoughts. The fact that Kaleigh figured out this other Rylee was a clone could ruin our plan, or could it? I opened my mouth to say something but didn’t know what to say. “Be honest with me, Wyatt,”
“About?”
“When you were kissing her, did you prefer her, as in Rylee, or me, as in Megan?”
“Is this a trick question?” I asked a little concerned but all she did was laugh.
“No, it’s a serious question that I need an answer to. I won’t be mad, I just really need to hear your answer, and I don’t want to get it from your thoughts. I want to hear you say it,” I nodded my head and let out a deep sigh. I think I knew where this was going. “My honest answer…” she looked at me waiting for me to continue. “…I prefer Rylee to Megan,” I said carefully and saw her smile and relax.
“I do too,” “What?”
“Wyatt, when this all over, and we succeed in killing the vampire, by whatever means necessary, I want to get rid of the clone, and I want to go back to being Rylee. I’m not meant to be Megan, and I know that now,” I let out a sigh of relief.
“Dearest, you have no idea how happy that makes me. I love you as Megan, and I always would, but I have to be honest. I miss your blond hair, chocolate eyes, peach skin, and your flawless face. The freckles are cute, and the green eyes are beautiful, but I prefer the real you over the disguised you,” she smiled big and hugged me tightly.
“Now that we’re on the same page about that,” she said and pulled away, “How about you tell me why you lied about knowing who the clone is,”
Uh oh. .
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
I never thought the day would come that I could piss off my mate to the point where she felt the need to use her powers on me, but that’s exactly what happened when I finally came clean with Megan about the Rylee clone. The minute she caught me in a lie, I knew that I was in deep s**t. Megan used her power of mind control on me and forced me to tell her everything I knew about the clone, that creating her with Svetlana was my idea, and that Svetlana is now a man posing as the clone’s master, and that the clone has a mission which I figured out is to draw out the vampire using her powers.
“Dearest,”
“Don’t!” she pointed her finger at me as I was on my knees with my arms above my head. She was using my mother’s tactics against me now, and by force. “Don’t even start trying to butter me up, Wyatt,” she snarled. “Megan, I didn’t know that she would send the clone here,”
“Why would you even want her to create one!?!”
“She said that the vampire can’t tell the difference between the real individual and the clone, so I thought maybe having a clone of yourself could be used as a distraction so we could plan ahead. I didn’t know the details of the plan because I didn’t want you to find out,”
“KIND OF LATE FOR THAT!!!” she screamed. Thankfully, my mom was taking care of Sam. “Wyatt, we just got finished talking about me going back to being Rylee after all this is over. What would have happened had my clone actually been taken by him?!? I would have to stay Megan for the rest of my life, or at least until he figured out that she is a fake! Because then he would come back for me!”
“I know, I realize that now and I’m sorry, baby. But I was desperate to protect you after you told me about your premonition,”
“Wyatt, my premonition was only a warning to prepare us and possibly change the outcome of everything. But if Alessandro were to take my clone and find out she’s a fake, he would most definitely come back! That doesn’t fix anything!”
“??I get it, okay. I wasn’t thinking of the bigger picture,” I admit. I hated to admit it, but I was wrong. “The idea of the clone was a quick decision at the time, but I think we can use her to our advantage now,” “How?”
“Svetlana said that you will come into play when the time comes and that you will know what to do when it does,” she scowled at me and glared. “I don’t know the details, and honestly, I don’t think your clone does either,” she scoffed and crossed her arms. “Why did you lie to me? You could have just told me the truth,”
“I did it to protect you, and again, as I said, I had no idea the clone was going to show up here,”
“Well she is here, and I’m fighting with myself to keep my mate away from me…That doesn’t even make sense,”
“Can I get up from the floor?” I asked her. She finally released her telepathic hold on me, and I got up. I rolled my shoulders to get rid of the lactic acid that built up over the last 45 minutes of her interrogation. Once I got the feeling back in my arms, I gently grabbed her by the shoulders. “I know that this is not ideal, and unfortunately, it’s too late to try and come up with a different plan. According to Svetlana, the vampire will be on our doorstep in less than a day, two at most. I need to spend more time with your clone training her. Obviously, with the continued use of her powers, it will only give the vampire a better opportunity to track her down, and when the time comes, I need you to be ready, both of you,” she lets out a sigh and nods her head. I hug her and kiss the top of her head. “I’m still mad at you for lying,” she says as she hits my back.
“I don’t doubt that, but hold onto that anger,”
“Why?”
“Use it against the vampire,”
***Imposter Rylee’s P.O.V.***
“Rylee, you can’t get too attached to the Alpha!” my master yelled at me.
“You said that I needed to take my place here!”
“I did, but I also told you not to get attached again. Your job as the Luna of this pack is to protect it, and your mate! If you get attached, how do you plan on completing your mission!?”
“Why does it have to be me!? Megan has powers too and she’s just as strong as I am!”
“Keep your voice down!” he sneers at me. “Megan is not the chosen one, you are. You did what you had to do and used your powers against her,”
