“Call Bryce and have him get his team together.”
“Why?”
“Just f*****g do it!”
“Okay,” Brandon replied putting his hands up.
“Dorian, what did Albert say?” Allie asked again, growing more impatient by the second. Dorian was in full-on attack mode, and he looked pissed.
“He and the others followed the group that kidnapped the werefox. They found the base of operations. It looks like it’s being run by humans and some wolves. Wyatt, does the name Levi ring any bells?” My eyes widened and so did Kendrick and Rylee’s. “Wyatt, that’s…” Rylee started to say.
“Marvin’s human driver,” I finished.
“That doesn’t explain why you want Bryce here. This isn’t his fight,” Allie said to him. Dorian looked at her and all I saw was worry and … fear?
“Dorian, you’re not telling us everything? Who is Bryce?” I asked him.
“He’s a werebear. A friend of our pack,” Andre answered.
“What do you need a werebear and his team for?” I asked him, lifting a brow. Dorian gritted his teeth and cracked his neck.
“Babe, what is it?” Allie asked him again and cupped his cheeks.
“He said that Jett overheard a few of the humans talking. They’re not only after Lexie and Lanie anymore, or Project Gemini as they call it,” Dorian said while looking me square in the eye. “They’re after Milan’s pups. They know that they’re Jade Wolves.” We all froze when we heard that. “That’s not all.” We all looked at him. “They know about you, baby. You, Leah, and Sin. They’re after you three.” Growls could be heard in all directions from their pack members, guards, and Amber and Ronnie. All of their eyes were black and filled with anger. I guess Desert Moon females were really loved. I looked down at Rylee and wondered if our pack members would react this way if they knew she was being targeted for whatever reasons. As if Dorian knew what I was thinking, he got my attention, “Wyatt?” I looked up at Dorian. “One more thing.”
“What?”
“Their ultimate goal is Rylee.”
[Rylee’s P.O.V.***
I was flabbergasted-I think that’s the word I want to use-and speechless. The traffickers knew about me; they knew I was rare. But thankfully, it seemed like they weren’t aware that Sam, or William, were Primordials as well. I felt bombarded by the sheer amount of information I had to process in such a short span of time as we all sat in the Golden Moon conference room. It was full of werewolves, on top of a light witch, and it looked as if the walls were going to collapse because there were so many of us packed inside. Dorian finished explaining everything his pack member, Albert, had told him over the phone, and Wyatt was angry. No, scratch that, Wyatt was livid. The entire time Dorian was talking, Wyatt released a massive amount of bloodlust, and I was afraid he would shift and kill everyone just out of pure anger. I did my best to keep him calm, but it wasn’t working; I felt like it had to do with the fact we weren’t fully bonded. There was no doubt in my mind that we needed to return home and undo all of the damage I had done. We needed to be at our best, and we needed to protect our pack. I was really curious to know how the traffickers even found out about me and the Desert Moon females.
“If you’re wondering who could have blabbed about all of us to the bad guys, I’m pretty certain it was your outcast pack member, Sierra,” Allie said as if she had read my mind. “What?!” Wyatt and I exclaimed.
“I wonder if that’s why she’s been wandering the pack grounds?” Melody pondered. Wyatt and I looked at her like she was insane.
“Dot, what the hell are you talking about?” Wyatt asked her.
“Wyatt.” We turned our attention to Kendrick. “The Luna of Desert Moon was sensing that Sierra had spied on us the other night at the hospital when we were all arguing. She sensed her spying on us as we were packing up this morning too. Somehow she’s been getting past all the security measures in place around the pack grounds. She’s going unnoticed.”
“That’s not f*****g possible, Ken!” Wyatt shouted at him.
“Allie, how do you even know about Sierra?” I asked, but instead of answering, she c****d her head to the side and stared at me. Then she looked at Lanie before she moved onto Lexie, and did the same thing. She repeated this over and over, and I grew increasingly frustrated because she didn’t seem to take the threat seriously. “Allie! Did you not hear what I just asked!?” I yelled at her.
“Hmm… Oh no, I did, but I’m too busy trying to figure out the relationship between you three,” she finally responded.
“What?”
“The three of you have very similar auras, did you know that?” she mentioned as her eyes darted between the three of us again. What was up with this Luna? Her mind was somewhere else completely. “Allie, what do you mean that they’re similar?” Wyatt asked.
“Similar, as in related.” The room fell silent, and everyone focused on us.
“What?” Lexie, Lanie, and I said in unison.
“Allie, that’s not possible. I’m a Primordial, they’re not,” I notified her. She was out of her mind.
“What makes a Primordial?” she asked.
“Being born to two pure-blooded Alphas,” I answered.
“Okay, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be related to them. It just means someone in your family”-she stared directly at me before deliberately looking at the twins-“is part of their family.”
“That can’t be, we’re direct descendants from the moon god-Ow!” Lanie started to say but Lexie swiftly elbowed her. I surveyed the room full of people, and everyone’s eyes were bulging out of their heads. “You’re what to the who now!?” Amber asked.
“Oops.” Those of us who already knew their backstory hung our heads.
“Wow.” I heard Leah say.
“Okay, how does that work?” Sin asked. We sighed and I gave Lanie the death glare.
“Rylee.” I shifted my gaze to William; all he did was nod his head. “No more secrets. Secrets are how we got into so many of our messes.” He was right. I nodded my head and exhaled deeply before diving into a lengthy explanation of everything we knew. Though I felt that we didn’t have enough time for storytelling, being upfront and honest would be good for everyone in the long run. I even went as far as to include Kendrick’s lineage.
By the time I was done, everyone’s mouths were hanging open, and I swore I could see saliva spilling from one of the guard’s mouths. I think he said his name was Derek.
“I … Uh… Whoa… Hmm… I guess that’s why these two have such powerful auras about them. That’s probably why Lanie shocked me when I shook her hand. I literally felt the power of the moon from her,” Allie said, shaking her head in disbelief. “Selene has a lot of explaining to do, but before I get into that. Rylee, are you also …”
“No, I’m not,” I replied before she could finish.
“If you’re not a descendant like them, then how can Allie feel that you guys are related?” Sin asked. I just shrugged my shoulders. I looked at the girls and they looked at me. Could we really be related? Could that be why I felt so drawn to them? “Have you guys done any blood work to see if there is a familial match? Dorian asked.
“No, we haven’t,” Wyatt answered.
