“Lorelai challenged Lanie for the right to mate with Chad,” Lexie answered.
“WHAT!? Is she stupid!? She can’t challenge to mate with someone who is already marked! Let alone for someone who doesn’t even want her!” I exclaimed. “That’s what Jonah said!” they all wailed in unison.
“I am so elated to see that the moon goddess has blessed both of your packs with such powerful female leaders. I always knew that in due time, females-not just males-would lead our kind. Female Alphas. Luna’s by the mate bond, but Alphas by blood. HOW GLORIOUS!” Jonah sang his praises while raising his arms up to the sky.
“Yes, I have to agree with Jonah. Times are changing, and it appears that female Alphas are more prominent in packs now. Blue Lake has Rylee, and our pack has Lanie and Lexie. Let’s not forget about Jennifer too. I can only imagine what other packs will eventually receive overtime. But before we celebrate the dawning of a new era, we need to remove the thorn in all of our sides,” Richard stated with irritation. We all nodded.
“I’ll make the call to Svetlana. We will have her travel to each pack, one by one, to collect the DNA to create the clones. After you’ve given her the DNA, Chad, you will need to go into hiding,” Wyatt instructed.
“Wait, where are we all supposed to meet? I’m assuming that all of us-and by us, I mean the Alphas-will meet while in hiding?” Chad asked.
“We will but not right away. Our clones will need time to come into their roles once they replace us in our packs. We have to move fast, but we can’t be too hasty. Rushing this could cause unnecessary mistakes that we can’t afford,” Wyatt replied. “Understood. I just hope you’re right about all of this, Wyatt.”
“Trust me, I hope so too.”
As soon as we ended the call, we all slumped into our chairs. Everyone else in the room with us was staring daggers at Wyatt. “What?”
“Clones!? Again!?” Milan yelled.
“You didn’t mention any of this to us before calling us in here!” Melody accused.
“There was no time, Dot. The idea came to me suddenly, and the only person I needed on board with me first was Rylee. Once I got her to agree, I called every single Alpha in the region and got their ‘okays’ as well. Then Rylee told me she had a vision about a catfight at Golden Moon. There was literally no time to try to convince the rest of you!”
“Okay, fine, then how about explaining to us why Rylee stopped Lanie from telling us what she saw in the future!” Kendrick demanded.
“It’s like I told Lanie, she’s not permitted to tell us because the events she witnesses have already happened. She is literally traveling to the future. She can’t reveal anything because we cannot risk changing or destroying the timeline that we’re already in. The same way that changing the past could change our present,” I answered.
“What!? That’s not how time travel works!” he argued. “Have you guys not seen Avengers: End Game!? They even explain how it works in the movie!”
“Kendrick, this isn’t a movie!” Milan snapped at him. “And besides, William has been around for thousands of years. If he says the girls aren’t supposed to change anything about the past or future, then we have to believe that he knows what he’s talking about. He wouldn’t have left Rylee practically in charge of everything if he didn’t trust her to obey the rules!”
“I’m not in charge!” I retorted.
“You basically are.”
“I am not!”
“Rylee, come on, you’re literally the most powerful one in here. I mean, hell, you’re also the most highly ranked. Wyatt may be the Alpha, but you’re the Primordial. You literally have rank over him,” Melody mocked. Wyatt gave her an annoyed expression, but when he turned to face me, his expression was filled with pride. “Wait, why do you look proud?” I questioned.
“Because I am, dearest. I mean, not many male werewolves can say that their mate is a total badass and one of the most, if not the most, powerful wolf in existence.” He gave me lovey-dovey eyes and I knew for a fact that he was aroused. Why was he always so horny these days?
“Alright, cool. If that’s all, then I need to get my kids from my mom before she fattens them up too much,” Milan said while standing up. Jason didn’t say a word but followed her out. Everyone else left, one by one, and soon, it was just me and Wyatt in the conference room. When we were officially alone, I noticed that Wyatt’s body language had changed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him.
“Lanie’s little trip to the future has me worried. Something happens in the future, and I can’t help but think that it has to do with you,” he answered. “Why would you think that?”
“The way she looked at you when you stopped her from telling you what she saw. Her eyes held nothing but worry, for you.”
“I’m sure you misinterpreted what you saw, Wyatt. And even if she was worried about me, I can take care of myself. You should know that better than anyone.”
“I know you can, but it’s not just you that I’m worried about, Tink. You’re pregnant and still very early into the pregnancy, I might add. You are at your most vulnerable state right now. Soon, you won’t be able to shift. I don’t know what using your powers during pregnancy will do to you, but I can’t risk you becoming overly stressed. It’s not good for you or the pup.” I finally understood why Wyatt was so worried. He didn’t want to miss out on another pregnancy. I still felt awful that he didn’t experience everything when I was pregnant with Sam, and I already knew he had so many regrets from that time.
“Wyatt, I know that our first pregnancy wasn’t ideal, but this one will be different. No one is here to f**k with our minds or our marks. Yes, there is a lot going on, but nothing like what happened back then. You’re not going to lose us, any of us,” I reassured him as I placed his hand on my stomach.
“I wish Lexie could send me back in time, so I can see exactly what that b***h Layla had done to me.”
“Why? So you can torture yourself?”
“I just … I don’t know,” he sighed. I cupped his face and made him look at me. His beautiful teal eyes held so much pain and regret about the past, and I wished I could make him see how much I love him and that I’ve forgiven him for everything. But it seemed as if he had yet to forgive himself. “What’s really bothering you, Wyatt?”
“Sometimes I wish I could go back and keep myself from leaving the house. To stop me from going to work. Then I never would have left the office late, and I never would have stuck in that damn blizzard. She and Svetlana wouldn’t have run me off the road, and they never would have suppressed my memories. I never would have hurt you. You never would have left. You never would have rejected me.”
“You don’t know that. It’s like William said, changing the past wouldn’t necessarily change the future for the better. And everything happens for a reason. I mean, look what happened with me and Dianna. Fate definitely had plans for the two of us. Even though I can’t deny that what happened to us didn’t suck, in the end, it worked out the way it was supposed to.”
“How can you say that? Our bond was broken ever since then, and we were both so busy with other s**t that we didn’t even realize it. I mean, I hate to admit that Dorian was right. I was so f****d up in the head and only cared about everything else around us when I should have prioritized you and Sam from the get-go.”
“Again, maybe that’s how it was supposed to play out. You called Dorian for help because of my sisters, who we didn’t even know were my sisters at the time. But not only did he help us with that, but he also helped us find our bond. He helped us realize what we did wrong, and we learned from it. We’re not perfect Wyatt, we never will be. Just like Dorian and Allie aren’t perfect. But they trust each other wholeheartedly and believe in their bond.”
“That’s easier for them. Their bond was strong from the beginning,” Wyatt grumbled.
“No, it wasn’t.”
“How do you know?” he asked. I quirked a brow at him. “Wait, did you read their minds?”
“I read her mind.”
“Rylee!”
“What!? I wanted to get an understanding of how someone who was once human could be so powerful! I’m a Primordial, and she almost seemed to be more powerful than me!” “That’s not possible.”
“But it felt like it. So, I did a little mind-reading, and I found that everything she did or said had one common denominator behind them.” “What?”
