“Okay, I’ll buy into that theory,” Wyatt agreed and nodded his head. “If Eric is hiding out at Silver Lake in a mirage of some sort, then where the f**k would Ash take Rylee?” Lanie and I looked at each other and then back at him. “What?” “Wyatt, after Lanie and I talked about it, there was something about her three-second trip to the future that I remembered,” I said to him.
“What was it?”
“There was nothing there,” Lanie answered.
“You already told me that.”
“No, Wyatt, listen to what she’s saying,” I told him. “There was nothing there. She was in an empty field with some trees and brush.”
“Wyatt,” Chad got his attention. “What other land do we know that currently has nothing?” Wyatt’s eyes widened, and his eyebrows creased together.
“Are you trying to tell me that …”
“We think she’s back where all of this started for her and Ash,” I said to him.
“We think that he took her back to Halfmoon,” Lanie continued.
“There’s no way to prove that,” Wyatt disputed. “Did you all ask Jackson?”
“Jackson told us all he knew,” Svetlana assured everyone.
“And how do you know this?” Richard asked her sweetly.
“Well, I may have also added a few ingredients to turn it into a truth serum,” she quietly admitted. “But it’s too late to ask him now. It would have worn off by now.”
“Why wouldn’t he tell us everything we needed to know when we questioned him earlier?” Keaton asked.
“Because the questions were too vague,” Richard answered. “We were only asking where he came from and where Eric was keeping the hostages. We never once asked specifically about Rylee or Ash. And the truth can be manipulated. We just assumed that they were all together.”
“So, you’re telling me that Rylee is alone with that piece of s**t!? Need I remind you all that Rylee is currently pregnant!? Far enough along to where her scent is going to be changing or already has! Do you know what he will do if he-“
“Nothing is going to happen to Rylee or your pup, Wyatt!” Lanie shouted at him and put her hands on his shoulders.
“And how do you know?”
“Because I’ve seen it.”
“Are you allowed to tell me that?” he asked her.
“Maybe not, but right now, rules and secrets can kiss my a*s. What’s that saying, ‘see something, say something?””
“Lanie, baby, that applies to when rules and laws are being broken,” Chad told her.
“Oh… well… whatever. I’m going to interpret it the way I want to.” All of us just laughed and smiled at her.
“Thank you, Lanie. I needed to hear that,” Wyatt said while giving her a side hug.
“I guess it’s my turn to tell you what I saw on my own also” I mentioned to him. He looked over at me with a questionable expression.
“What did you see?” he asked.
“Let me just say this,” I said while walking up to him and gesturing for him to get down to my level. He bent down and I got in his ear. “Has your date planning gotten any better?”
P.O.V.***
***Rylee’s “GOD DAMMIT, RYLEE! WHY WON’T YOU JUST ADMIT THAT YOU LOVE ME!?!” Ash screamed in my face.
“How many times are we going to play this f*****g game, Ash!? I don’t love you. I have never loved you. I never WILL love you! Stop wasting both of our time and just kill me already!” I shouted at him, knowing full well that he didn’t have the balls to do so. “NO! No, no, no! Killing you won’t accomplish anything. Killing you will kill me because that’s how mate bonds work!” he rambled on. I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes. Ash has definitely gotten off the bus somewhere between Looneyville and Delusional City. Ever since Kaleigh and I exposed ourselves to Ash with the whole speaking at the same time trick, he’s been even more hellbent on getting me to admit to something he knows wouldn’t even be true. He thinks that my special abilities are supposed to be shared with him because he was my first mate, no matter how many times I tell him that Wyatt was my first mate. Thankfully, neither he nor Morgan knows what I am. Otherwise, they would have tried to kill me by now.
“Ash, I think it’s time we put your plan into motion, don’t you?” Morgan suggested to him. I looked over at her and furrowed my brows. Because I was still in this damn cage, and the spell she was using to prevent me from reading their minds was still in place, I couldn’t get a sense of what they were up to. Hearing that they had a plan was making me a little nervous. “It’s too bad the Beta isn’t here to see this,” Morgan added.
“Where is Kendrick!? What did you do with him!?” I demanded. Kendrick had been taken out of the cell the other day and was placed somewhere else. He had gotten caught mind-linking with Melody, and that’s when they figured out that the potion only prevented me from reading minds, but not mates from mind linking each other. They moved him far away from Melody and, that was the problem I was currently facing-I was alone with Ash and this stupid witch. Kaleigh insisted that she could break through it, but I didn’t want to let them know we could. I was afraid they would notice and that we would lose the element of surprise.
“Do it,” Ash said to her without answering my question about Kendrick.
“Do what?!” I asked, a little freaked out. Morgan chanted something in a language I had never heard before, and then I noticed that the barrier around the cell was gone. I could immediately hear Ash’s thoughts.
“It doesn’t matter if you can read my mind, Riles. Everything will be better in no time at all.”
“YOU’RE INSANE!!!” I screamed. “Do you honestly think that swapping my memories will get you what you want!?”
“I know that it will. As soon as you take this potion, and Morgan here says her spell, you will remember me as the love of your life. And Wyatt? Well, you’ll remember him as the man who tormented you all of those years.”
“Don’t forget, Ash, you’re not the only one who tortured me! Your entire family, that entire pack did! Do you honestly think that you could wipe my memories of hundreds of people hurting me!?”
“Those are going to be erased. Permanently,” he smirked.
“If Svetlana couldn’t completely sever with my bond with Wyatt, then what makes you think this sorry excuse of a witch can?”
“Why you little…” Morgan slapped me hard across the face. I turned my cheek because I felt my lip bust. Thankfully, it healed in no time, and I was pretty sure that Ash and Morgan didn’t notice. I slowly turned my face back to look them in the eye. “Was that supposed to hurt?” I mocked her. She aimed to hit me again, but Ash stopped her.
“Morgan, enough! Just get the f*****g potion!” She handed it over to him, and he passed it to me. I just sat there, staring at it. “Take the potion, Rylee!”
