Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Wyatt, that’s Rylee when she was ten years old, right before her pack was slaughtered,” my mother said.
“What?” I looked back down at the photo and saw the resemblance.
“Son, that’s also the day you realized that Rylee was your mate and that you vowed to wait for her to turn of age so you could claim her,” my dad said.
“This doesn’t make any sense, I don’t remember taking this photo or the girl. I do remember going to Silver Lake though. I remember I was 18, and it was right before you gave me the pack dad, and right before Silver Lake was slaughtered by Halfmoon,” was Rylee really part of my life for this long? Did someone actually f**k with my head and remove precious memories of me and my mate? Just then, my mother handed me another photo,
“Wyatt, this is a photo from when you were eight years old,” she said to me. I looked down at the photo and it’s me holding a baby. “Sweetheart, that’s Rylee the day after she was born,” I looked at her and then back at the photo. “I don’t remember this one either,”
“Do you remember going to Silver Lake when you were younger?” she asked.’
“Yeah, I do remember one time you taking me because dad was busy with the company, and Aunt Meg had just had her baby, so you wanted to go visit her,”
“That’s right Wyatt, and that baby was Rylee, Mitch and Megan were Rylee’s parents,” she said to me. I looked at her completely confused. Even memories of knowing Rylee before we were even mates were gone? How could this be possible?
“Wyatt,” I looked at Kendrick. “Rylee wanted me to give you this,” he handed me an envelope and a jewelry box. “We’ll leave you to read it in private. Just mind link me when you’re ready to talk,” I nodded my head and they all left closing the door behind them. I sat up a little more and opened the envelope.
To my Prince Charming,
Wyatt, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve never written a letter to anyone, so I hope that my handwriting is alright. I’m leaving Wyatt. I’m leaving you and our pack. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take the hurt, the pain, and the hate. I never thought there would come a day where you would hate me so much, but I guess all good things must come to an end. I love you so much Wyatt, and it pains me to have to write this letter to you. I don’t think I could face you and tell you to your face that I’m leaving. Seeing your beautiful teal eyes and handsome face would prevent me from taking this step to protect myself and our unborn child. That’s right Wyatt, I’m pregnant, and yes, you are the father. I never thought I would end up a single mother, especially since our bond was so strong, but I guess I was wrong.
I don’t know what happened to you Wyatt, and I wanted to be strong, and wait for you to get your memory back, but when I saw you flirting with other she-wolves, and pretending as if I was invisible, that was the final straw for me. I wanted to wait and forgive you for everything because I know that this isn’t the real you. Even when you choked me and tried to kill me, I knew that it wasn’t you and that whatever happened in the week that you were missing is what caused all of this. But instead of believing our family and friends that I was your mate, you treated me worse than how I was treated at Halfmoon. At least there, I was acknowledged as a living person, even if I was beaten and starved all the time. The pain from eight years of abuse and slavery isn’t nearly as painful as the pain I was going through when the love of my life treated me as if I didn’t exist.
I don’t hate you, Wyatt, I love you more than any person in this world, but I can’t raise my pup in a home where his or her father would act as if he or she didn’t belong to him. As a mother, that’s something I couldn’t bear to see. I don’t know if or when you will ever get your memories back Wyatt, but if you do, don’t blame yourself for my leaving. I know that this isn’t your fault. I love you, Wyatt. I love you so much, and it hurts knowing that this is the end of us. The end of our love. A love that barely began. These last four and a half months with you have been wonderful, and I’ve never felt happier. But as I said, all good things come to an end.
I’m giving back the Christmas gift you gave me because I don’t think I could ever wear it again. It’s too painful to look at, let alone wear.
Goodbye Wyatt.
Love always and forever,
Rylee
There was a kiss stain at the end of the letter and tear stains throughout. What caught me off guard were the fresh tear stains that were being made from my own tears. I was crying reading a letter from a woman I didn’t even know.
I put the letter down and opened the box. Inside was a rose gold necklace with a charm. It had the initials WV and RD at either end of an infinity symbol. Within the top of the box was a folded piece of paper. When I unfolded it, I couldn’t stop the tears. It was a photo of an ultrasound. I fisted the necklace in my hand and held it to my heart. Even if I didn’t remember her, reading her letter, seeing the necklace, and the photo of the ultrasound made me realize that she was my mate and the pack’s Luna, and now it’s too late. My mate, our Luna, and my unborn child were gone.
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
TWO MONTHS LATER
“ARGHGHG!!!” I threw everything off of my desk. It’s been two f*****g months since Rylee left the pack, and no one can seem to find her. Wherever Lorenzo took her, he was keeping her hidden and well too. I sent several trackers back to Lorenzo’s cabin in Italy, but the cabin had been uninhabited for months.
I still have no memories of Rylee, and it’s the most frustrating thing. All these good memories that our photos together show, but all I have are bad ones. Memories of me treating her like s**t, screaming in her face, destroying our photos, destroying her Luna ceremony photo, physically hurting her, and then pretending she didn’t exist to me. My heart and my mind were so conflicted. Even though my mind doesn’t know her, my heart does, and so does my wolf. Blade knew somehow and kept hounding me to stop hurting, but I ignored him.
Dr. Andrews believes that because my mark is now somehow gone, it broke the bond between Blade and Rylee’s wolf, but he could still feel that she was his mate because she was bearing our mark. A mark that I didn’t even see. When I looked at her, she didn’t have a mark, but apparently, she did, and it was only invisible to me as a human, and not to Blade.
After I was released from the hospital the day after she left, I made sure to have all her belongings put back in our room and had all of the pictures reprinted and set up the way they were before I had destroyed them, even her Luna ceremony photo. Thankfully, my mother still had the original copy of it and had it reprinted with the same frame and everything. I needed to find Rylee and bring her back and claim her again. Even if our old memories were no longer in my head, there was nothing stopping me from making new ones when I found her and my pup.
I was angry when I found out my mother knew Rylee was pregnant the week before she left but didn’t say anything to anyone. When I confronted her about it, she told me it was because she was afraid I’d hurt Rylee and force a miscarriage or force her into an abortion. The fact that my own mother thought so low of me hurt, but I also didn’t blame her for thinking that way.
Layla has been trying to continuously sleep with me, even though I told her a million times that it was never happening. Nothing has changed between her and me, but what was driving me insane was how angry she got every time I turned her down. She became so angry, she almost shifted once, and I had to command her to stand down. That was a week ago now, and I haven’t seen her since. I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing right now.
“WYATT!” Milan came bursting into my office. “Oh my god, what the f**k happened in here?”
“What do you want Milan!?”
“Huh, oh s**t, that’s right, your sister is in labor!” I rushed out of my office with Milan behind me and ran straight to the pack hospital. When I got to Melody’s hospital room, I tried to go in, but my mom stopped me. “I’m sorry Wyatt, but Melody doesn’t want you in there,”
“She’s still mad at me?”
“Yes, she is, and you can’t blame for her that either,” I just nodded my head. “Go to the waiting room with your father and Jason,” I nodded my head again and walked away. As I was passing by nurses and workers in the hospital, some greeted me, while others didn’t even so much as even give me eye contact. Those were the pack members that liked Rylee and are angry with me that I drove their Luna away with my bullshit.
I got to the waiting room, and fist-bumped Jason, and gave my dad a hug. My family and friends forgave me and are trying to help me figure out what happened to my memories and trying to find Rylee. The Elders gave me my back Alpha position after Kendrick and my dad petitioned with them, that I’ve been placed under a spell of some sort that erased Rylee from my memories. Things are okay between me and the guys, Milan, and my parents, but Melody refuses to forgive me. Even though she knows what’s happening to me, she doesn’t forgive me for the way I treated Rylee those three weeks after I came back.
“Any news?” Jason asked.
“No, Lorenzo has been alive longer than all of us combined, he’s probably has resources all over the world helping them hide,” I answered and leaned back in the chair.
“Do you remember anything about her?” I shook my head. “But you do love her?” I nodded my head this time. Jason just nodded back and let out a deep sigh. I didn’t know what to do, but I had to find her and before the vampire did. ***Unknown P.O.V***
“AHHH!!!” I rubbed my temples as this ridiculous wolf screamed at the top of her lungs in my sanctuary. “You promised it would work! You promised if we got rid of his memories it would open the door for him to fall in love with me!!”
“No, I said that it would open the door for him to fall in love with another, I never said that it would be you,” I replied. “It’s not my fault that you underestimated his bond with his mate,”
“I didn’t underestimate anything! She’s gone! She f*****g left! Their bond is broken!!”
“And yet, here you are, bitching and whining that he is now looking for her. What does that tell you? Hmmm?” I stood up and poured myself a cup of tea.
“FIX THIS! MAKE WYATT LOVE ME!!”
“I already told you, Layla, that’s not how the spell works. I ridded him of his memories of her, and he didn’t recognize her. He despised her and almost killed her did he not? So, the spell worked,” I sipped my tea and let out a sigh of contentment. “His heart was open for someone else to enter, and based on what you’re telling me if he fell for her again, it means he never had any feelings for you or anyone else for that matter,”
