Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Hey, buddy!” I greeted my son.
“Daddy, mine?” Killian pointed to the lavish displays surrounding us.
“Aww, I’m sorry buddy, but no. This party is for the grown-ups-Daddy, Uncle Brent, Uncle Maverick, Lanie, and Lexie.”
“Aww, okay.”
“Don’t worry, my little man. There’s going to be food, music, and dancing. And Alpha Wyatt, Luna Rylee, and Samson are coming too,” I told him as I bent down to his level.
“Sam here?!” he asked with excitement all over his face.
“Soon! And they’re going to be here for a couple of days, so you guys can have sleepovers with your cousins too.”
“Yay! Yay! Yay!” he jumped up and down. I looked up at my dad who just smiled at me.
“What?”
“You are an amazing father, Chad. I didn’t think I could be any more proud of the man you’ve grown up to become, yet here you are, about to be crowned the next Alpha of this pack,” he replied and started to get teary-eyed. “Come on, old man, don’t get all soft on me now!” I joked with him. T
“Shut up, boy. Let this old man be proud for a minute.” I chuckled and let him have his moment. “After everything that happened with your first mate and you becoming a single father, I was so heartbroken that my son, my baby boy, had to endure so much pain by himself. But now, you have a second chance mate, one that is so special and rare. I know she’s not Killian’s birth mother, but I do not doubt in my mind that she will make a fine mother to him in due time.” I smiled at that. I couldn’t wait for Lanie to accept Killian as her son, but I promised she could have all the time in the world to do that. “Your mother and I are also hoping for more grandchildren,” he added nonchalantly.
“DAD! Come on! Lanie’s only 18. Give her a few years.”
“Tell your mother that.” I scoffed and shook my head.
“Chad.” I turned to see Richard.
“Sir?”
“Enough with the honorific titles, will you? You’re going to be crowned the next Alpha in a couple of hours, boy.”
“I’m sorry, Richard. It’s a force of habit.”
“Quite alright. I wanted to come fetch you. The guests are starting to arrive. We should go greet them.”
“Of course.”
“Where is Brent?”
“Here!” We heard him shout while running down the stairs. He looked flustered, and yet, oddly happy.
“Dude, you didn’t!” I said to him.
“What? No! Well, not quite, but… Wait, why am I even explaining anything to you!?” he exclaimed, making me, my dad, and Richard laugh.
“I see that you and Lexie have made up?” Richard asked.
“Yes, sir!” Brent replied happily.
“Again, with the sir.”
“Did I miss something?” Brent asked.
“He doesn’t want us calling him sir anymore,” I answered.
“Oh, well, that’s easy then, Richard,” Brent said smugly. Richard scowled at him and I unwittingly smirked.
“Let’s go greet the guests, shall we?” Richard commanded. Brent and I chuckled.
“Wait, where is Maverick?” Richard stopped and asked. Brent and I just looked at each other. “Nevermind. He’s where he needs to be for now. We will have to save his inauguration for a later time.” We nodded and headed out front to greet the guests. In just a few short hours, this pack was going to belong to me, and I was nervous as hell. But I was happy it was finally happening. Nothing could ruin this day.
***Rylee’s P.O.V***
The winds of change had brought some turbulence into my life, but it was a welcome reprieve to arrive back at Golden Moon to attend Chad’s Alpha ceremony and Lanie’s subsequent Luna ceremony. Even with everything that has been going on, I couldn’t be happier for both of them. Kendrick accompanied us as it was customary for Beta’s to do so when attending an event as grand as an Alpha ceremony. It was going to be particularly special because tonight was the full moon.
“Mommy,” Sam began to fuss in his car seat as we were approaching closer to the packhouse. Wyatt preferred to leave him with Ronan and Grace, but I insisted that we bring them here so that he could have a playdate with Killian. They have become fast friends and being only several months apart in age really helped. Additionally, I knew that Chad’s nephews would be here, and Sam had a blast with them last time. “We done?” Sam implored sweetly, signaling he was over being inside the car for so long. “Yes, baby, we’re here,” I told him as I pinched his cheek.
“Yay! Kian!” he clapped his hands.
“Kian?” Kendrick repeated from the driver’s seat.
“Killian,” I responded.
“Oh, damn, how is it that I can understand Leighann, but I can’t understand Sam?” Kendrick wondered and shook his head. Wyatt and I just smiled. Kendrick pulled up to the front of the packhouse where Chad, Richard, and Brent were greeting the arriving guests. Wyatt opened the door and exited our vehicle first. I unbuckled Sam from his car seat, and he jumped out of the car. I stepped out as well, and Wyatt held his hand out for me.
“Wyatt, thank you so much for coming,” Richard welcomed him. “Young Alpha, it’s so good to see you again,” he greeted Sam and extended his hand out. Sam smiled bashfully and gave him a high-five instead.
“Where Kian?” he asked immediately.
“He’s inside waiting for you,” Chad replied.
“Daddy, go!” Sam said and pulled Wyatt by his shirt.
