“Lexie, that’s how this whole mate thing works. If you don’t want a mate, you need to reject him, but remember what I said would happen if you did that.” Rylee countered.
“You’re also a hypocrite, Lex. You just said that I shouldn’t do that to Chad, but you’re saying that you won’t even give your mate, Brent, the time of day,” Lanie snapped at me. “I also don’t need your protection. I need your support because we’re sisters. That’s different.” I didn’t know what to say to that and I hated it. I wasn’t sure how to handle our roles being reversed, normally I was the levelheaded one.
“You’re deflecting, Lexie,” Rylee said to me.
“That’s not fair, Rylee. You’re reading my mind,” I automatically assumed.
“No, actually, I’m not. I can just tell,” she said. “I was in your shoes at one point, remember? I didn’t want Wyatt at first either, especially not after everything that happened to me when we first met. But, he was there for me from the start and helped me escape a bad situation much faster than I would have on my own. He was good looking, he was kind-hearted, and it turned out his feelings for me were genuine. Eventually, I found myself unable to fight the mate bond with him,” Rylee explained. “When Wyatt first found me at Halfmoon, I was in the middle of planning to run away because I had just turned 18. I was going to be a lone wolf, just like the two of you are right now. But, he got through to me somehow and gave me a reason to take my place as his Luna. Regardless of the s**t that happened in between all of that, our bond with each other as mates is what gave me my son and faith that, no matter what, he and I were always going to love each other and make each other stronger.”
“I don’t know if I’m ready to have a mate, Rylee. It’s too soon,” I told her. “And what if he’s like Chad?”
“He’s not. He’s actually the opposite of Chad. He can relate to you and Lanie more than you think,” she responded without going into further detail.
“What do you mean?” Lanie asked.
“He should be the one to tell you everything, but just like I found myself in a safer place after coming here with Wyatt, I think you two will be safer going to Golden Moon with Chad and Brent.” “Wait, they’re from the same pack?” I asked.
“Yes, and they’re both great guys. Look, I’m not trying to force the mate bond on you because right now, your safety is of the utmost importance. And going with them under the radar may be the best way to keep you safe while also getting to know your mates better.” Lanie and I looked at each other. We were thinking the same thing-we needed to leave. We trusted Rylee more than anyone else at the moment, and if she said we would be safe with our mates, then that’s what we needed to do.
“Tell us what to do next,” I said to her and Lanie nodded in agreement.
“You two will be moved to another room immediately, and we’re going to have to do that with the help of Olivia.” Rylee had us stay in our room while she went to go get Olivia. We knew that Olivia was a witch, but we weren’t sure how she was going to help us get to a new room without anyone seeing. A few minutes later, Rylee came back with her.
“I heard that you girls need some good ole magic to help you out?” Olivia said as the door shut behind her and we nodded. “I’ve got you covered,” she said with a smile. “Come on, take my hands.” We did as we were told and each held onto one of her hands. “Olivia, take them to the guest room on my floor. The room to the left of Sam’s nursery,” Rylee told her.
“I got it,” Olivia confirmed and the next thing I knew, it felt like my body was floating mid-air. Then, all of a sudden, we were in another bedroom. I snatched my hand from Olivia and puked.
“Oh dear, I should have warned you. Teleporting can cause some nausea,” Olivia said, patting my back. When I was done, she spoke some words in a language I had never heard before and the puke stain I had just made was gone.
“Did you just say we teleported?” I asked while still catching my breath.
“Yes, we did. It’s a new ability I developed over the last few months. It’s been a while since I created brand-new abilities, so I’ve been using it quite frequently around the castle,” Olivia said matter-of-factly. “Where are we?” Lanie asked.
“This is the guest room on Rylee and Wyatt’s floor of the castle. No one is allowed up here without proper credentials and explicit permission, so whoever is after you won’t be able to find you up here,” she replied. We both nodded and a few seconds later, Rylee came in with Wyatt, Chad, Alpha Richard, and someone else.
The moment I looked into his eyes, I knew this person had to be Brent, my mate. My wolf was going crazy because she wanted him, even though I was trying to fight it. But he smelled so good it had me borderline melting on the inside. Whatever this smell was, it had my mouth watering. It almost smelled identical to the scent that filled the kitchen whenever Mr. and Mrs. Williams baked cupcakes. I could almost taste the sweet frosting scent coming from him.
Lexie, our mate. He’s so handsome.
I know Brooklyn, he really is.
Don’t reject him. You heard what the Luna said.
I don’t want to, but we don’t have time to fall in love. Our lives are in danger again.
But our mate will protect us. You need to believe in the mate bond. We were given him as our mate for a reason.
I wanted to say more to Brooklyn, but she had already blocked me out. She was adamant about accepting Brent, but I didn’t think I could go through with it.
“Rylee, what are we doing in the guest room?” Wyatt asked her.
“I knew I didn’t like Alpha Martin,” she began.
“It’s Marvin, Tink,” Wyatt corrected her.
“Who cares!? The point is, he’s bad news, and he’s here for Lexie and Lanie!”
“WHAT?!” all of the men shouted.
“I saw his human driver by their room, and he was on the phone with his boss. The voice on the other end was MARVIN,” Rylee emphasized and continued to explain, “and he ordered the human to get the girls!” We looked at Rylee since she had yet to tell us exactly what was going on as well. “Luna, are you saying the Alpha from Canada that Xavier invited is after our mates?” Brent asked. I never heard him speak until now and, I had to admit, his voice was soothing to me.
“Alpha Wyatt, you told us what the girls had been through, but you didn’t mention that they were still in danger!” Chad shouted.
“I wasn’t aware that they were until right now,” Wyatt answered.
“This is exactly why you shouldn’t restrict me from using my powers, Wyatt! I could have prevented this from the very beginning!” Rylee exclaimed.
“Powers?” Chad and Brent questioned.
“Dammit Rylee,” Wyatt growled.
“No, I don’t care anymore. Yes, powers. I have f*****g powers because I’m not an ordinary werewolf. If you think the s**t that happened last year was crazy, just wait until you find out who I am. But we’ll save that for another time. I have powers, and I plan to use them to keep these girls safe. As well as Olivia here.”
“Hello, I’m Olivia, and I’m a good witch,” she said cheerfully.
“Wyatt, you never told me you had a witch in your pack,” Richard said.
“It was never my intention to deceive you Richard, but I felt it was necessary to keep things discreet.”
“We don’t have time to be discreet anymore Wyatt. The girls are in danger, and they need to leave Blue Lake right now,” Rylee said to him.
“What? Rylee, where are they supposed to go?”
