Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Hello Kelsey, it’s good to see you again,” the unknown man said to me.
“What do you mean again? Who are you?”
“It’s me, Lorenzo,” my mouth dropped, and my eyes widened.
“Olivia, I need you to drop all of our cloaks. Kelsey is Darius’ second chance, and she needs to learn the whole truth because recent events now affect her,” the Luna said. I furrowed my brows at what she said. The woman she called Olivia snapped her fingers, and I watched as the Luna, Olivia, and Lorenzo changed into different people.
“WHAT THE f**k!?!” I shouted at the top of my lungs.
“Calm down Kelsey, we can explain everything,” the Luna said to me. “Talk fast because I’m this close to fainting,” I replied really quickly. “Let’s start at the beginning…”
By the time the Alpha, Luna, Olivia, and Lorenzo finished telling me everything, my jaw was on the floor and tears were flooding my eyes. I couldn’t believe everything that had happened, and how even my kidnapping was part of all the s**t everyone had gone through. I was even more shocked to find out that the Luna was the same Rylee that I would constantly hear Ash and Emma b***h about.
I was saddened with how much pain that Darius had gone through with his first mate Layla. Even though he came with baggage and drama, I wasn’t repulsed by it or him. I felt horrible for him and a part of me just wanted to give him a warm hug. “Kelsey,”
“Hm?” I looked back at the Luna.
“I asked if you swear yourself to secrecy and if you are willing to accept Darius?” she said.
“Your secret is safe with me, but I have a question,”
“What is it?”
“What would happen if I chose not to accept Darius?” I watched as his eyes shot open and fear took over.
“If you were to reject him, then Darius would either spend eternity alone, or he could take a chosen mate. But he would never get another destined. Getting a second chance is rare as it is, getting a third is unheard of,” the Alpha explained. I nodded my head and took a deep breath. This was a lot to take in, but none of it was Darius’ fault. He was a victim of bad luck, just like I was.
You’re not actually thinking about rejecting our mate, are you?
I don’t know, Summer.
Don’t! I swear if you do, I’ll make your life a living hell!
Are you threatening me!?
Damn, right I am! So, choose wisely.
With those words, Summer cut me off. I didn’t even know she could do that. I scoffed and just shook my head. If she and I truly did share one mind, then she would know that I only asked out of pure curiosity. Why the hell would I reject someone as yummy as Darius? His first mate was not only psychotic but blind as a bat.
“Darius?” he looked up at me and I just smiled. I could see the concern in his eyes that I was going to reject him. “I’m Kelsey, and it looks like we’re mates,” he blinked once, and a small smile formed on his face. I heard a few sighs of relief and I knew that it came from the Alpha and Luna.
“Oh my goddess, the suspense was killing me!” the Luna exclaimed. I had to admit, she was super pretty as a blond. Almost like a walking-talking barbie. “Now that we’ve gotten that sorted out, Olivia, will you please change us all back, so we can go eat dinner?” “Of course,” Olivia replied and snapped her fingers again. They all changed back to their other identities.
“Okay, I don’t think I’m going to get used to magic,” I say out loud and they all just smile.
“We will see you later, Megan. Give Sam a kiss for us,” Olivia said and hugged the Luna goodbye. In a flash, she and Lorenzo were gone. I let out a sigh and looked back at Darius who was staring at me. “What?” I asked.
“Has anyone ever told you how f*****g beautiful you are?” he replied, and my mouth just dropped, and my face started to turn hot.
“Okay, you two, dinner will take another few hours since Mr. and Mrs. Williams needs time to prepare for all of the new pack members. Darius, you and your mate may retreat to your home until then,” the Alpha said. Darius nodded his head and I got up and walked around the table. Darius led me out of the conference room and placed his hand on the small of my back.
We left the castle and ended walking for about fifteen minutes towards some cottages along the lakeside. I was in awe with the scenery that was the Blue Lake pack and figured that living here wouldn’t be so bad. I missed my family in Texas, that was obvious, but knowing that I was pronounced dead almost a year ago made me come to the realization that returning home to them was out of the question. My home was here now, as a werewolf, with this pack, and apparently, with Darius. .
***Darius’ P.O.V.***
While Kelsey and I were walking to my personal cottage, my heart was racing a million miles a minute. We were walking hand-in-hand, and I honestly didn’t know what to do with myself. The fireworks that I felt on my hand was nothing I had ever experienced before. Being with Kelsey like this made me forget all about the drama that I recently went through, and I honestly didn’t miss Layla. She was already starting to become a distant memory.
When we got to the front patio, we stopped, and I watched as Kelsey just looked at the cottage from the outside.
“This place is adorable,” she said with a big smile. I furrowed my brows and just looked at her. There are many words I call my home, but adorable was definitely not one of them. I guess that’s the difference between a male and a female. I took out my key and opened the front door for her. I led her in and closed the door behind us.
“I know it’s kind of small, but there is plenty of space and all of the appliances one would need,” I tell her and turn on the lights.
“Wow, it’s very clean,”
“Is there something wrong with that?” I asked her.
“No, I just didn’t expect it to be this tidy. I have two older brothers and one young brother, and they’re all pigs,” I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
“Wolves are a little different. We’re raised to be tidy and neat. Because we live in the mountains, there’s a lot of wildlife, and of course insects, so keeping the house clean prevents from rodents and insects from coming in,” “Ewww…” she shuddered at the thought.
“Kelsey, if see you a rat, don’t be surprised if your wolf takes over so she can eat it,”
“GROSS!”
“Not gross, natural. You’re a werewolf now, which means, you’re part animal,”
“Wait, are you saying that you eat rats?”
“I don’t, my wolf Flynn does. But he’s huge, so one isn’t enough,” she stuck out her tongue in disgust and I just chuckled at her.
“So, aside from the wild part of being a werewolf, how does this mate thing really work?” she asked while sitting on my couch. I sat down on the opposite end and we faced each other.
