“Actually speaking of, dad, what’s going on with Halfmoon?” I asked him.
“Richard contacted me and said that Eric has been arrested,”
“What?!” we all exclaimed.
“Somehow the investigator got Eric to admit to premeditated murder. Rumor has it, his anger got the best of him and he just blurted it out to the investigator and to Ash. He’s currently being held by the Elder’s council awaiting his arraignment,”
“Big brother, are you sure that the dark witch didn’t take some of your f*****g brain cells with her when she gave you back your memories!? That is the craziest f*****g plan I have ever heard! You expect Milan, Michelle, mom, and me to pretend to hate Rylee while she is cloaked as another person!?”
“So, that fucker really did fake a challenge intending on kill Rylee’s dad?” Milan asked.
“It appears that way,” my dad answered.
“No one mention this Rylee, I can’t have her losing control of her emotions. If she finds out Eric killed her father intentionally, she’ll go ballistic,” they all nodded. “What about the kidnapped humans and the rogue issue?”
“They’re still looking into it, but so far, the investigator hasn’t found anything,” my dad replied, and I just nodded my head. “However, they are indicating that Ash and Emma have been less than cooperative, so, they do believe Halfmoon is hiding something,” “Let’s hope they find the proof that they need. Victor has been getting anxious and he’s ready for payback,” Jason said.
“Jace, have you asked Victor what he wants to do when this is all over?” I asked him.
“I did, but he’s not sure what he wants to do. It’s been so long since his ‘death’, that he’s not sure if he should go back home, or start over somewhere else,” he replied.
“Let him know that if he chooses to remain here, he can. Victor is a part of this pack now, officially or unofficially,” I tell him, and he nods.
“Wyatt, I would like to be there for the birth of my grandbaby,” my mother said softly. I smiled and took her hands in mine as she was sitting across from me.
“I’m sorry mom, but I need you here. Honestly, had I not gone to find Rylee myself, she was actually going to call you to help plan a way for me to be there at the birth, but that was before she knew I got my memories back,”
“She was?”
“Yeah, she misses you mom and she’s sorry that she’s caused you pain. She’s sorry that she’s caused all of you pain,”
“When you see her next, tell her she has nothing to be sorry for, son. She did what she thought was best for her wellbeing, and the wellbeing of her unborn pup. She did what any good mother would do, and we can’t fault her for that,” my father said. His words gave me a lot of reassurance, and I know that they would assure Rylee too when I told her. “Question? Why aren’t our parents here?” Kendrick asked.
“Your dad is a loose cannon right now with the whole Terrine mess, Ken. It’s bad enough she killed your mom, then she tried to kill Irene,”
“Can we not talk about that?” Irene asked.
“Yeah, can we not?” Keaton said.
“That, and I need Uncle Felix to worry about his job on the security of our pack; in addition, Aunt Zoe can’t keep a secret for her life,”
“Yeahhhh, my mom sucks at keeping secrets. Plus, she can’t act for beans either,” Jason said making everyone laugh.
“Alright, now that we all know the plan, everyone, keep this yourself until I tell you otherwise, got it?” I said to everyone in the room and they all nodded. “Dr. Andrews, I’m going to give you the address to Rylee’s condo, will you please go check on her?” “Of course, Alpha. I will take a personal day tomorrow if you don’t mind then?”
“No problem at all, thank you. Remember, not a word of this anyone not in this room and only behind closed doors. The moment you walk out this door, you forget everything you heard in here, understood,”
“Yes, Alpha!”
“Son, don’t worry, you can count on everyone in this room,” my dad said patting my shoulder. I nodded my head and one by one everyone left my office. Once everyone was gone, I closed up my office, locked the door, and went to my room. I hated not having Rylee with me even more now, but it was only a matter of time before I had her in my arms again.
I looked around my room and realized that I would need to get rid of all these photos again to play into the act. I figured I would do it now since I was too excited to sleep. One by one I gathered up all of the photos, and place them neatly into an empty box, and hid it away in the closet. I took down her Luna ceremony photo and tucked that away into the closet of the guest room that Rylee had stayed in before she left.
I also realized that we needed a nursery for the pup, but that would have to wait for a few weeks. If I planned that too soon, it would look suspicious, plus, I had no idea how to decorate a nursery. I would have to get Melody and Michelle to help out with that in the next couple of weeks. I couldn’t wait to have Rylee or in this case Megan with me.
Watch out Layla, I’m going to turn your life into a living nightmare. You f****d with the wrong Alpha.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
When I woke up the next morning, I was sad to see that Wyatt had indeed left. I was hoping he would stay the night, but I guess he really couldn’t. I rolled over the best that I could and waddled to the bathroom to take a shower. I washed my hair, did my conditioning routine, and scrubbed my body. When I was done, I wrapped a towel around myself and dried my hair about halfway and then let the rest of it air dry.
I went to my closet and decided to wear a light blue maxi dress since I didn’t feel like dealing with pants this far into my pregnancy. By the time I was done, the doorbell rang. Excited thinking that it was Wyatt again, I quickly went to open the door before Olivia or William could,
“Huh? Dr. Andrews?”
“Luna?” he asked in the form of a question. Then I realized that I looked like Megan to him.
“Oh crap, sorry, I know I look like someone else. Please come in,” I opened the door for him to enter, and I saw that he a portable machine with him. “Dr. Andrews, what are you doing here?”
“The Alpha asked me to come and check up on you and your pup,” I smiled at the gesture.
“You didn’t have to come all this way, Dr. Andrews,”
“Please Luna, it is my pleasure. You’re carrying the future Alpha of our pack, I should be the one to look after you and him or her,”
“What about the pack hospital?”
“It’s good hands with the nurses. I always take a day or two a week to myself and leave the territory, you know this already. If you’re afraid of that wench Layla finding out, then you need not worry, the Alpha is going to great lengths to ensure she doesn’t find out about you, Megan,” he said my alias with affirmation making me smile and shake my head. “Now, I brought this portable ultrasound machine with me. It hooks up to a tablet via Bluetooth so I can see everything,” I nodded and let him to my room. Since I had been seeing the human doctor for the last few months, I figured it would be the same situation with Dr. Andrews. I got under the covers to hide my lower body and lifted up my dress to show him my stomach.
“I’m glad that you’ve at least been going to a human doctor Luna. It lets me know that you and your pup are being well cared for; however, I will need the name of this doctor,” “What for?”
“I’m going to have all files transferred to me so I can keep an eye on you from now on,”
