Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“What?”
“Alpha, you said it yourself that this man has been alive for hundreds of years, he will know he is being followed. It is possible he already saw us and may get suspicious, or is weary because you obviously look like yourself. My point is, we have to tread carefully if you want to get your mate back,” “What are we supposed to do?” I asked a little irritated.
“Well, you’re a rich man with a lot of resources. Use them to your advantage. Might I suggest getting Lorenzo’s name?” I just lifted my brow at her. “You know, for someone so smart, you really can be quite stupid,” I let a growl towards her for the insult. “Do you really believe that he would use his actual name while wearing a magical disguise?” I dropped the attitude realizing she had a point. “I suggest figuring out who is he right now, and then trying to follow digitally,” I immediately took out my phone called my head of security at the office. “Mr. Valencia, what can I do for you?”
“Lazarus, I’m going to send you a photo of someone, and I need you to figure out who he is. I want to know everything about him. Friends, family, address, the works,”
“Yes, Mr. Valencia,”
“Laz, I want this done in 48 hours,”
“Yes, sir,” I hung up the phone.
“f**k, I need a picture of this guy,”
“Not to worry,” she said and took my phone. She said a few words which I didn’t catch, and sure enough, there was a photo of him on my phone. I guess having a witch around wasn’t such a bad thing. Yet. Now that I knew where Lorenzo was, I was one step closer to finding Rylee.
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
When I got back after confirming Lorenzo worked at the hotel, and that Rylee was in fact still local, I felt better knowing she was close by. I expected to be able to have a nice dinner alone in my office when I walked in and work a little, but only one could dream. As soon as I walked in the door, Kendrick pulled me to straight to the cellar.
“What the hell man!?”
“A situation occurred while you were gone,” he said and kept dragging me. “What situation?”
“You’ll see,” he dragged me down to the cellar where the dungeons were at, and as soon as Owen and Hugo opened the steel door, ear-piercing screams hit me like a f*****g air horn. I looked at Kendrick and he just held up his hands and gestured me to follow him down. The screams were loud, and I knew there was more than one. When we got down to the bottom of the stairs, I was surprised to see two familiar faces being tortured by Maddox and Keaton.
“WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE!?!” I roared making Keaton and Maddox stop what they were doing. They both stood straight and bowed their head to me.
“ALPHA!” they addressed me. I looked at Andrea and Sierra and they were both hanging by the arms from the ceiling with silver chains and their feet were dangling. Their shirts were both ripped open from the back, I saw whip marks.
“What the hell is going on? We don’t typically torture females like this,” I said to them. Keaton and Maddox kept standing at attention, but their eyes were on the girls.
“Answer the Alpha!” Kendrick yelled at the girls.
“Ter…Terrine…made us…do it,” Sierra whimpered.
“Shut…up, Sierra!” Andrea shouted. Obviously, she was the stupid one.
“What did she make you do, Sierra?” I asked.
“She…She found out about the young Beta’s…M-mate, and she…She wanted Andrea to…”
“SHUT…UP!” Andrea shouted again.
“Keaton!” my calling his name was all he needed to whip Andrea again making her scream. “Every time you interrupt Andrea, Keaton is going to whip you,” she struggled against her chains, but it was no use. “Continue Sierra,” she didn’t say anything for a minute and looked at Andrea. “Don’t worry about her. I’ll make you a deal, you tell me what happened today, and I will show you leniency,”
“Y-yes…A-Alpha,” she replied and took a breath. “She wanted Andrea to bring Irene to her when she…found out that the young Beta had his mate. She was…j-jealous…a-and…s-she was pissed,”
“And why did she want to see Irene?” I asked.
“She wanted to…C-con-f-front her about…the D-DNA test. She wanted to know if…-Irene was the r-reason why it h-happened,”
“What did she do when she confirmed this information?”
“She got more pissed. She blamed Irene, and Irene…She…She told Terrine that…it was her own f-fault. Terrine got mad…and…s-shifted to k-kill Irene,”
“And how are you involved?”
“Sierra if you any say more I swear… AHHH!!” Andrea interrupted again and was met with a whip to the back.
“Andrea and I…We…We held Irene on h-her knees…so…Terrine could…”
“I see,” I turned to face Andrea who was staring daggers at Sierra. “Andrea is what she said true?” she looked off to the side and didn’t answer. I nodded at Keaton who whipped her again making her scream. “I won’t ask again Andrea. Is what Sierra said true!? Were you an accomplice to the attempted murder of a ranked pack member!?” “No! She’s lying!” Andrea spat.
“Remember what I said about lying, Andrea?” Kendrick said and handed me a tablet. On the screen was a video set on pause. “Now, you have three seconds to tell the truth, because if the Alpha plays this video, you’re f****d,” she just glared at us. “Three…Two… One…” she still didn’t say anything. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Keaton nodded his head and I hit the play button and watched the video. Sure enough, everything Sierra said was true. Andrea is the one who threw Irene in front of Terrine and the entire conversation played out just how Sierra explained. Everything she claimed was the truth, even the fact that she held down Irene with Andrea so Terrine’s wolf could kill her.
I stopped the video when I had seen enough, and I looked at Andrea. I hated liars, and I hated disobedient pack members. What I hated the most was that these two bitches made an attempt on a ranked member’s mate. Even though Keaton wasn’t actually Beta, he was still of Beta blood, so he was treated just like a ranked member. Pack members were to show him just as much as respect as they would Kendrick. That also includes their mates.
“Sierra, because you told the truth, I’ll spare your life, and you will be allowed to stay within the pack, but you are hereby banned from the castle. Just like Terrine, you are now an outcast,” “Yes, Alpha. Thank you,” she whispered.
“And you,” I turned to Andrea her eyes now wide in fear. “Your consequence is banishment!”
“But my parents are here!”
“You should have thought about that before you decided to lie to my face,” I growl at her. “I’m a merciful Alpha, which is why I gave you the chance to tell me the truth. Why do you think Terrine wasn’t banished for the s**t she pulled on Keaton? Why do you think even though Sierra and you committed the same crime, she’s only being outcasted but still a part of this pack, still being given a roof over her head hm? I don’t like to banish pack members unless absolutely necessary, and you made it absolutely necessary,” “Alpha, please,” she begged.
“Too late,”
“Alpha!”
“Keaton give her fifty more whippings. Twenty-five for being an accomplice, twenty-five for lying about it,” “Sir!”
