Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Ugh, what do you want, Ash?” goddess why won’t this damn pack leave my mate alone. Are they deaf or just plain stupid?
“That’s Alpha Ash to you,”
“You’re not my Alpha,” my mate has a lot of spunk, and she definitely had that Alpha aura.
“I’m still an Alpha!”
“Leave me alone, Ash, I’m sick of you and your family fvcking up my life,”
“Rylee! Why are you doing this to me!?” he whined. What kind of Alpha whines?
“I’m not doing anything! I’m trying to move on with my life!”
“You belong to me, Rylee!” I had just about enough of this s**t. I opened the door and stared Ash right in the eyes.
“Get.away.from.my.mate,” I expressed each word with great detail. “Dearest, go inside,” I tell Rylee.
“Rylee is my mate! The moon goddess gave her to me first!”
“Alpha Ash, from what I have gathered, you rejected her, and she accepted that rejection, which means, she is no longer yours,” I grit my teeth. Blade wants to rip this guy to shreds, and I’m about five seconds away from letting him. “And I also understand that she had to reveal her true identity to you in order to make the acceptance, so, either you actually have feelings for her, which are no longer relevant now that I’m in the picture, or you only want her for her Alpha blood,”
“How do you know that she’s…”
“She told me her name, her full name. Her father and my father were friends before your’s slaughtered her pack,”
“Wyatt,” Rylee said my name softly and gently grabbed my wrist. “Please, just come inside. He’s not worth it,” “Rylee, please, come back to me,” Ash begged her.
“fvck you, Ash,” She spat. “Let’s get one thing straight, even if you hadn’t rejected me, I would have rejected you anyway. I want nothing to do with you or this pack. I told you that from the moment I accepted your rejection. I never want to be tied to you or this pack in any way, shape, or form. You can lie to yourself and to me all you want, but nothing will change the fact that I despise you. I always have, and I always will,”
“Well, there you have it, Alpha Ash, Rylee has made her decision. Now if you will excuse us, I need to have some bonding time with my Luna,” I shoved him back, and quickly slammed the door in his face, locking it. I let out a short and irritated sigh and turned around to face Rylee.
“I’m sorry about that,” she said.
“Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong,”
“I should have been quicker about coming up here,”
“Hey, you have nothing to apologize for,” I said and held her shoulders. I finally had a chance to look at her in detail and see the height difference.
“What?”
“Damn, I just realized you’re really small. What are you, 5’2? 5’3?”
“I don’t know to be quite honest; I’ve never had my height checked,”
“Ok, well, I’m 6’4, and you barely come up to the middle of my chest,” I said standing up straight and putting my hand at the top of her head and lining it up. “That’s at least a foot difference,”
“So, the tallest I could be is 5’4?”
“Yeah,” I look down at her, and just saw nothing but perfection. Her hair was a sleek and shiny dirty blonde, chocolate eyes, her face was the size of my fist, her body was near perfection, although a little too skinny, probably from neglect, overall, Rylee was damn near perfect for me.
“You’re staring again,” she said to me.
“Sorry, I was taking you all in. I’m trying to commit you to memory,”
“Uhh…” sh!t, that sounded creepier than it should have.
“Are you hungry?” I asked quickly changing the subject. She chuckled and smiled. Damn, she had a beautiful smile.
“Yes, but I can wait until dinner. I’m used to not eating,”
“What?” she gasped and covered her mouth and slammed her eyes shut. “Dearest, what do you mean you’re used to not eating?” “I…Uh…”
“Rylee, have you been starved? Is that why you’re so thin and malnourished?!” she made a face of regret and let out a short sigh.
“Yes,” I could feel the anger in my body rising. Not only did they force her into labor as a child, they mistreated her, abused her, made her sleep in a shoe closet, but they starved her on top of all that. This pack was sick and twisted. I couldn’t believe the Elders have allowed such heinous activity to take place. I took a deep breath and let out another deep and heavy sigh. I pinched the bridge of my nose and grunted. “Wyatt, please don’t be mad at me. I just wanted to be honest with you,”
“I’m not mad you, baby, I’m mad at this pack. I don’t understand how this s**t went on for eight years, and it was never reported. What would have happened had I not been here last night? I’m certain that Nicole and Emma would have killed you,”
“No, they wouldn’t have. That would mean Nicole and the other Omegas would have to do actual housework, like cleaning and cooking. The packhouse would be in shambles if that ever happened,”
“Well, it’s happening, because they can’t make you do any labor in this house anymore,”
“And to answer your question, if you weren’t here, I would have left on my own anyway,” I looked at her confused. “I know the laws, Wyatt. I know that now that I’ve turned 18, Halfmoon can no longer hold me against my will. Slave or not. I have no ties to this pack by blood or by law. I was planning on leaving right at first light this morning, but with everything that happened last night, that plan kind of flew out the window,”
“You’re still going to be leaving, but with me and Kendrick. I still have a business to take care of while I am here, but I don’t want you to worry about anything,”
“I’m not worried, I’m just annoyed. It’s like no matter where I go, I’m either going to run into Eric, Nicole, Ash, Emma, or some other pack member that hates me,”
“Well, you don’t seem to lack the self-confidence to stand up for yourself when they do,”
“I just have a big mouth, I have no filter,”
