“I can feel her soul. I raised her just like I raised Lexie and Lanie. I’ve built a relationship with them, so I can feel when they are close.”
“Wyatt, take Anna and go find Jennifer. William and I will lead everyone to safety,” Dorian said. I nodded my head and took Anna’s hand.
“Everyone, listen carefully. We don’t know how many men there are guarding this place. Whatever or whoever you are, fight your way to freedom. William and I can’t do all this on our own. When you get to the surface, shift, fly, run, swim, do what you must to get to freedom. But be careful as there are land mines all over the island.” Everyone nodded their heads. “When we’re out, you will be on your own. But, if you don’t have anywhere to go, we can help you find a home. Wolf or not, if you don’t mind living in a wolf pack, my pack is open for new members.”
“As well as mine,” I said. We could see relief in the eyes of many. Some didn’t care.
“Alright, let’s go.” William led the way, and one by one, everyone started to make their way up the stairs. It didn’t take long for a guard to see, and all hell broke loose. An alarm sounded; we had to hurry. I led Anna by the hand, and we made our way past the fighting. There was blood and gore everywhere in no time as some of the supernatural were fighting for revenge. Anna used her wings to clear a path for us. She was strong, I had to give her that.
We made our way up and went in the direction we hadn’t gone yet, and sure enough, the bunker turned into what looked like a living area.
“What the f**k? This looks like someone’s house!” I exclaimed.
“Find J now, ogle later!” Anna said and pulled me along. How the f**k was Marvin pulling this off?
“HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!” someone grabbed Anna. Before he could do anything, I grabbed him and snapped his neck.
“Jennifer! J! Where are you!?” Anna called out.
“Anna!?” A skinny caramel-skinned girl called out from around the corner. Leah wasn’t kidding when she said Jennifer was super skinny. She looked like she had been starved and brutally assaulted more times than one could count. “Oh my god! Anna!” She ran into Anna’s arms.
“Girls, we have to go!” I warned them.
“No! Go away!” Jennifer shouted at me.
“J, it’s okay. He’s not the guard. He’s a wolf in a magical disguise. He and his friends helped everyone get out. We need to go!” Anna told her and pulled her.
“But, how can you trust him!?”
“J, look at me. I’m an angel, I can sense evil. He’s not evil. He’s good. Very good. Trust me.” Jennifer stared at Anna then nodded her head. I took Anna’s hand, and she took Jennifer’s hand. I led them back the way we came, and there were bodies everywhere. I could smell Dorian’s blood. He was injured, but it wasn’t that strong so it must have been minor.
We made it to the final staircase that led up to the field. I had the girls go first. As soon as I grabbed the railing to follow after them, I heard a gunshot go off and a burning sensation on my arm. I had been shot, but it only grazed me. It wasn’t silver, so that was good. I looked behind me and saw Levi.
“YOU f*****g TRAITOR!” He shouted at me.
Blade, let’s do this.
With pleasure.
I gave full control to Blade and shifted. I watched from Blade’s eyes as Levi started to panic. Blade charged towards him and he ran from him screaming bloody murder. I was never one for killing humans, but these men were monsters. They got involved in our world and exploited us for profit. They were after our women and children, and I wouldn’t stand for it. Especially knowing that Rylee was one of their targets now.
Blade could feel my fear and anger and he swatted his giant paw at Levi, throwing him into the concrete wall. All you heard for a hard thud. Levi tried to crawl away and begged for mercy. I shifted back because I wanted him to see me. Thankfully, it appears that shifting into Blade broke Olivia’s cloak and I was myself again.
“You!? How!?” Levi choked. My eyes were black and my canines were still out.
“You thought you could come to my home and get away with planning to kidnap Lexie and Lanie. Then you had the audacity to plan an abduction for my Luna!?” I growled in his face.
“It wasn’t my plan, it was Marvin’s! I only wanted Project Gemini!”
“Well, they’re off-limits now, and your time is up. But, before I kill you, tell me where Marvin is!”
“I don’t know, I swear! He doesn’t tell me where he’s going!”
“Then you’re useless.” I gripped his neck with all my might and crushed his larynx. I dropped him and watched him suffocate to death. I ran back towards the stairs and went up. I arrived at a field full of bodies and saw a few of the captives we had freed. They tried to fight back and lost their lives in the process. I shook my head in sympathy. Their souls were free, and they were longer held captive.
“Wyatt, there you are!” Kendrick shouted, running up to me.
“Did we lose anyone?” I asked him.
“No, but there are some injuries. Thankfully, most of the men were human, and the ones that were werewolves were weak. We managed to capture a few of them.” I nodded my head. “What about that fucker Levi?”
“Dead.”
“Marvin?” I shook my head. Destroying this bunker was only the first step. We needed to find Marvin and kill him. We needed to cut the head off the snake. Otherwise, this would never end. .
***Rylee’s
P.O.V.***
The journey home from Golden Moon began at sunrise after we said our goodbyes to everyone. I felt apprehensive about leaving Golden Moon without protection since William was going with Allie and company to drop off Jennifer. But, Wyatt reminded me that Ryker was there now and that the girls now had their mates along with the entire pack of Golden Moon to protect them. Regardless of Damon and Lorelai, Golden Moon had their own Luna once again, and Wyatt seriously doubted they would do anything to jeopardize that. When we finally arrived home, we stopped at the pack border. Wyatt forced the guards in front, as well as Kendrick and Melody, to go across into the pack territory. Wyatt also stepped through the gate while I waited outside of our territory.
“Dearest, I’m ready whenever you are,” Wyatt said with a smile. I held onto a sleeping Sam and closed my eyes. I took a deep and measured breath as I tried to suppress the butterflies in my stomach.
“I, Ryan Lee Duquesne, hereby rescind my rejection and claim Wyatt Valencia as my mate and Alpha. I also hereby claim my rightful place as the Luna of Blue Lake. I swear to abide by all our laws, and rule by Wyatt’s side, now and forever.” As soon as I said those last words, I felt a rush of energy flow through me and finally felt that full connection to the pack I had felt during my Luna ceremony. It honestly felt like another lifetime ago.
“I, Wyatt Valencia, Alpha of the Blue Lake pack, hereby accept you, Ryan Lee Duquesne, as my mate and rightful Luna.” In an instant my bond with Wyatt was complete. The difference from what we felt over the past year compared to what we felt in this moment couldn’t be ignored. It was a huge reality check to realize we had both forgotten what it really felt like to be fully bonded, even after I had remarked him. I lowered my head and the tears began pouring down. How could I have been so blind and stupid to forget what this felt like?
“Shhh… Don’t cry, baby,” Wyatt said as he held me and Sam as I sobbed into his chest. Even though we were fighting the clock, Wyatt and I embraced each other with Sam between us and just cherished the moment. After a few minutes, we got back into the car with Melody and Kendrick, and the guards returned to their post. I cradled Sam and leaned on Wyatt’s shoulder as Kendrick drove us back to the castle. When we finally arrived, Jason, Ronan, Grace, Dylan, and Felix were waiting for us.
“Dad?” Kendrick said as he got out.
“Dad, Mom,” Wyatt greeted Ronan and Grace. “Wyatt, we got your message,” Jason told him.
