Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“Whoa! Dearest, where are you going in such a hurry?”
“Wyatt, I just had a premonition, and I saw two girls around my age jumping off the cliff in the mountains right above the lake!”
“Whoa, slow down, Rylee, what part of the territory?”
“Ummm…,” I thought back for a second, “… oh, I saw the side of the castle where the library is!”
“Okay, let’s go,” Wyatt took my hand, and we ran outside over to that section of the castle. As I looked towards the mountains, I saw a cliff that matched what I saw in my premonition.
“Hey, what are you guys doing out here?” Kendrick asked, running up to us. I didn’t pay him any mind because what I saw at the moment had all of my attention.
“THERE!” I shouted as I grabbed Wyatt’s arm. He turned and we both watched in horror as two girls jumped from the cliff.
“HOLY s**t!” Kendrick shouted as he saw what just unfolded.
“Rylee, mind link Dr. Andrews and my dad! Tell them what we just saw! Ken let’s get the boat and go save those girls,” Wyatt said. They ran towards the dock where the boat was tied up and I watched as they went in the direction where the girls landed as fast as they could. I quickly mind linked Ronan and Dr. Andrews about what just happened.
Ronan and Owen came to me, and not too far behind was Dr. Andrews with Irene and Owen’s wife, Sirena. “Luna, where are they?” Dr. Andrews asked.
“Over there!” I exclaimed and pointed to where Wyatt and Ken were. We all watched as they both dove into the water. A few seconds later, we saw them come up with the two girls in their arms.
“Oh my goddess,” Owen’s wife gasped. Once they were all back on the boat, Wyatt drove it back to the dock. Kendrick jumped off the boat to quickly tie it and then jumped back in to help Wyatt hand off the girls.
“You boys get changed. We’ll get the girls to the pack hospital,” Ronan said to them. The girls were unconscious, and they all ran towards the pack hospital.
“Rylee go with them, Ken and I will get changed and meet you there,” he tells me.
“Get your mom to watch Sam,” I reply as I take off and catch up with the others easily using my super speed. Upon arriving at the hospital, Dr. Andrews has the girls placed in the same room so he can work on them simultaneously. I look at the girls, and they’re both so skinny with cuts and bruises all over their bodies. Their lips are blue, their faces are pale. It was a painful reminder of my own appearance before while I was a slave at Half Moon. Were these girls child slaves too? Did they run away to escape all of the abuse? “How the hell did two humans survive that fall?” Owen asked.
“They’re not human, they’re wolves,” I reply. Owen looks at me and lifts a brow.
“Luna, they’re human,” he says to me directly.
“No, they’re not,” I tell him.
“Luna, with all due respect, but I think I know what humans smell like.”
“Owen, my sense of smell is better than yours, remember? I’m basically a super wolf. I’m telling you, they’re werewolves,” he was about to argue again when Dr. Andrews stepped in.
“This is not a conversation to be had right now. If these two girls are indeed human, then we can’t risk saying the “W” word out loud,” he said to us.
“What do you mean by if, Doc? Can’t you smell it?” Owen asked.
“Yes, Owen, I do, but I also know the Luna’s abilities so her sense of smell would be more accurate; however, until I can test their blood, we won’t know for sure,” Dr. Andrews answered. “Are they going to be okay?” I asked with concern.
“They’re alive, and we can quickly get them warm with heated blankets. They’re both completely unconscious, but they are breathing. Luna, having your vision when you did saved them,” he replied. I nodded my head. Dr. Andrews, Sirena, and Irene got to work to take care of these two mystery girls. They looked similar in features, so I assumed that they were sisters. I seriously hoped that their situation was not what I thought it was.
“Oh my god,” Irene gasped. We looked at her as she lifted one of the girls’ shirts, and she was covered in scars.
“What the f**k!?” Owen shouted.
“Doctor, what are those marks?” I asked him as I looked at the girls’ stomachs.
“Those appear to be burn marks from a taser of some sort, but I’ve never seen one leave marks like this before,” he answered.
“I’ve seen these types of marks before,” Ronan said. “Sebastian, I think those are from cow prodders.”
“Ronan, I believe you are correct, a cow prodder would have easily made these marks.”
“What’s a cow prodder?” I asked. Owen quickly explained to me what it was and showed me a video of how they’re used. I was so shocked that anyone could use something like that against two innocent girls.
“Based on the stage of healing, these girls have been prodded over the course of several years,” Irene said, applying medicine to each wound.
“Why haven’t they healed?” I asked softly.
“Luna, I already said that they’re…”
“I heard what you said Owen!” I snapped at him, “But I’m telling you, they’re not human, they’re part of our kind!” he shut up and bowed his head.
“Tink, why are you yelling?” Wyatt said as he came in. He decided to keep the nickname he gave me when I was Megan. He said that it suits me even more since I’m blonde again though a part of me does miss being brunette.
“Alpha,” Irene, Sirena, and Dr. Andrews bow really quick and got back to work.
“Dr. Andrews, what can you tell me?” Wyatt asks.
“Alpha, these girls have multiple contusions, lacerations, and burn marks all over their body. They are both severely underweight, and it looks like this one may have a fractured ankle. And this one has a dislocated shoulder. The burn marks are in multiple stages of healing, and appear to have been created by a cow prodder,”
“What?! Who does that to young girls!?” Wyatt growls. “Human or not, that’s cruel and inhumane.”
“Wyatt, they’re not human,” I tell him. He looks down at me and gives me the same look Owen did. I glare at him, and he softens his look.
“Alpha, the Luna believes that they’re werewolves,” Owen says.
