“And you’re not allowed to use them on pack members!”
“Unless it’s to defend myself, and you just threatened to kick my a*s!” she scoffed knowing I had her cornered. I stuck my tongue at her knowing I won. We looked back at the guys who were still going at it. “How do we stop them?” I asked. “Get Auntie Grace,” Milan said.
“Did I hear my name?” we turned around and see Grace and Ronan. “Oh my, are those boys arguing over something stupid again?” she asked. “Yeah,” we all said in unison
“Watch and learn girls,” she said and walked past us. “ALRIGHT THAT IS ENOUGH!” she shouted at them and smacked all of them in the back of the head. Irene, Michelle, and I gasped, but Melody and Milan just smiled. “Mom!”
“Aunt Grace!” the guys shouted at the same time.
“You four ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Fighting like children in front of your mates, and the kitchen staff,” she said scolding them. “On your knees! Hands up!” all of the guys froze. “NOW!!!” she roared, and they all went to the middle of the dining room and got on their knees and raised their arms above their heads.
“What?” I c****d my head and looked at Ronan.
“Lactic acid build-up, the boys have to keep their arms up and stay on their knees for as long as they were arguing,”
“Rylee, sweetheart, how long have the boys been arguing?” she asked me right on cue.
“Ummm…About half an hour maybe?”
“Okay, since you boys are double the age you were when we started using this punishment, we’re going to double the time,”
“Mom! Come on! We’re not kids!”
“Well, if you four are going to argue like children, I’m going to punish you like children. Arms up! One hour!”
“I’m the Alpha!!”
“And I’m still your mother,”
“PFFT!” all of us started to crack up which earned us glares from the guys.
“If you girls want to join them, keep laughing,” Grace said to us and we immediately stopped.
“Why am I getting in trouble? Angelo’s not even here,” Michelle said trying to defend herself.
“Don’t talk back to my mom!” Melody shouted. We all looked at Grace who the look of death on her face.
“Michelle, do you want to join them?” Grace asked.
“No ma’am,”
“I didn’t think so,” she said putting her hands on her hips. “Set the table girls,”
“Yes ma’am!” we all replied and went to help the kitchen Omegas set the table for lunch while the guys got their punishments. The kitchen staff was also giggling and snickering at was unfolding in the dining room.
“Melody, Irene, how are Kendrick and Keaton doing?” I carefully ask.
“Ken is holding up, but he’s frustrated,” Melody answered.
“Keaton is angry, but he’s trying to hide it. I’m not sure who he is more pissed off at, her or his dad,” Irene answered.
“I can’t even imagine what he must be going through. Knowing that the person responsible for your mother’s death also tried to trap you in a pregnancy. I mean, how f****d up is that?” Milan said softly. We looked at back at the guys who were still being scolded by Grace. Although seeing them being punished like children was comical, it didn’t take away from the fact that someone close to everyone was taken from them.
I just hoped that the investigation Wyatt was conducting would bring about the answers that everyone wanted. .
***Rylee’s
P.O.V.***
Another week has gone by without any big events. Wyatt is still looking into Terrine and her involvement with Lizzy’s murder. Irene finally came clean to her family about Keaton, and of course, they were apprehensive at first because they knew about Terrine, but after Wyatt had explained what had happened at the dinner they were invited to, they gave their blessing, though, Irene made it a point to say their blessing didn’t mean squat because she would have been with Keaton regardless. I’ve been training with Lorenzo everyday as always, and things are getting relatively easier and harder at the same time. His training courses are getting more and more intense as he said they would, and I’ve finally mastered, or somewhat, mastered using my telepathy using only my mind. We’ve been practicing with weapons the last week, fake weapons, but weapons, nonetheless. Lorenzo uses his powers to attack, while I use mine to defend. I’ve technically died six times in the last week, but that’s still better before. Lorenzo has also been helping me train in using my powers to levitate heavy objects, like full-grown wolves. And the wolf I’ve been practicing the most on is Wyatt. But when he’s at the office for his business, I practice on Jason. He’s a tad smaller than Wyatt but just has heavy. I’ve thrown him a few times into the snow, as well, as his wolf Cobalt. Cobalt apparently enjoys the adrenaline he gets from being flung around like a rag doll, so he doesn’t mind it.
Although we haven’t been attacked again, we’re all still waiting for it to happen. No one has let their guards down, and Wyatt has made sure that only warriors that he trusts are guarding the perimeters of the territory. The extra security features he had Jason’s dad put in help too. Now if anything is tampered with, Wyatt gets an immediate notification on his phone.
Victor has finally completely healed and was released from the hospital, and he decided that he wanted to live in the castle. What was more surprising was that he asked to train with our warriors to get back into shape. At first, Angelo and Owen were skeptical, but Wyatt told them to let Victor train. Though Victor’s training had a rough start. Obviously being human, he wouldn’t be able to run the ten to twelve miles our warriors did, but he did keep up for at least half of that. Victor said he was in a sport called cross-country when he was in high school which is why he has good stamina and endurance.
Victor spends a lot of his time inside the castle gym, and I can tell that he’s just relieving stress. Jason helps him with weight training, and Victor is very grateful for it. A lot of the pack members have been welcoming of him, but a lot are still nervous having a human in our midst. Wyatt has commanded that if Victor is harmed then they would be banished. Of course, a lot of pack members felt betrayed that their Alpha would side with a human, but Victor is a victim in his own right, and we vowed to protect him and help him find justice for himself, his girlfriend, and his family.
I haven’t seen much of Layla or her b***h brigade after she had tried to kill me. It’s been months, and I do see her from time to time around the castle, but all she does is glare at me. I can hear thoughts all the time, and it’s always the same thing: I’m a slut, I’m a w***e, I don’t deserve Wyatt, she’s going to get him back, she’s going make me pay, and she hopes I die and burn in hell. I pay no attention to her because my bond with Wyatt is strong, and I don’t think it will ever break.
No one has heard from Terrine ever since Hugo and Maddox had taken the rest of her stuff to her cottage. They said that she’s tried to make it work, but with no money, she can’t really buy furniture. So, I decided to be nice and told them to also take the furniture from the room she was using and deliver it to her. She at least deserved a bed to sleep in. I also had two of the castle maids go to her cottage to help make a little more livable. But, I did tell them that if she gave them any problems, to immediately leave without any word. Thankfully, Terrine welcomed the help but didn’t say thank you when they were done.
Wyatt questioned me when I went out of my way for Terrine, but I told him that it wasn’t for her. It was for her pup. A newborn shouldn’t in live filth. I lived in filth, and I knew what it was like, and Killian didn’t deserve that. He was an innocent bystander in all of this. He didn’t ask to have a crazy mom and no dad. Keaton has felt some guilt knowing Killian has no father, but not enough to be his father. Dylan has been secluded a lot the last week and doesn’t really speak to anyone. His thoughts are clear as day. He’s upset with himself for getting involved with Terrine, the person who killed his mate, his wife, and the mother of his children. Kendrick has tried to speak to him, but Dylan won’t respond.
Wyatt finally told his parents and Jason’s parents about Terrine and how she was responsible for Lizzy’s death. To say that Grace and Jason’s mom Zoe were upset would be putting it lightly. They wanted to go kill her right then and there. Ronan and Jason’s dad Felix had to hold them back before they shifted in Wyatt’s office. Once calm, they both broke down which in turn, made me break down. Grace lost two of her closest friends to murder, first my mom, and then Kendrick’s mom.
I cried, even more, when Grace told me that it was Lizzy who gave me the nickname Rylee. Someone I didn’t even know was the reason behind the name I grew up loving. I hated my actual name because it was a boy’s name, but she’s the one who put my first and middle name together and told my mom that it was more fitting.
Ronan decided to handle the investigation himself. I was confused at first, but apparently, Ronan works as a private investigator for wealthy humans. He’s also been helping look into any other missing persons that would potentially be victims like Victor. Wyatt seemed to have a handle on things, and I was seriously impressed with how amazing he really does run this pack. I almost felt un-needed, but Wyatt assured me that he’s able to get things done because I’m with him.
Currently, I’m training with Lorenzo, outside, in the middle of a blizzard, but he says it’s the perfect time for me to test my abilities controlling elements when they’re out of control.
“Luna, what I want you to do to is take the storm, and calm it around the two of us. I don’t how or what you do, just do it, and make it so I don’t have to scream at the top of my lungs for you to hear me,” I stood there holding myself to keep myself warm while I tried to think. Although I was in a huge snow jacket, scarf, boots, gloves, beanie, and boots, I was still freezing. I tried to think of what I could do, but the bitter cold was making it hard to think straight. I already knew voicing how cold I was wasn’t going to change his mind, so I concentrated hard.
