Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
I didn’t even wait to get into the gate. I parked the car and told the guards to drive it back to the castle. Blade took over and we jumped the gate running as fast as we could to get to them. I knew the others would keep her safe to the best of their abilities, but the sounds of the snarling and the pungent smell of sewage led me to believe that there were at least a dozen rogues and not enough of our pack members.
I found myself being flanked by our guards, one of whom was Milan’s brother Angelo. Our top warrior and one of our head pack trainers. Even though he and Milan fought like cats and dogs, she was still his sister, and he would do anything to protect her, and Rylee, his Luna. I pushed Blade to his limits, and we could finally see the fight ahead of us. Tundra was protecting Rylee who was in human form, and I could tell that Rylee was knocked out.
Seeing her unconscious fueled the rage within Blade, and he pushed himself even harder. Two larger rogues look as if they were going to pounce and just as they were about to, Blade rammed both of them. He struggled with one for about ten seconds before grabbing a hold of his neck and tearing a chunk out of him. The rogue fell dead instantaneously. When we looked up, we found that more of warriors had joined in the fight, and Angelo had just finished dispatching the other rogue Blade had rammed into. We quickly shifted back, and I saw that Melody was back in human form as well and holding a passed out Rylee. I grabbed a pair of shorts for myself and a t-shirt for Melody that was kept hidden in the trees for emergencies. I quickly put on the shorts and ran over to Melody and handed her the shirt. She passed Rylee to me and got dressed.
“What happened?!” I shouted as I handed her the shirt.
“I think she used too much energy killing one of the rogues,” she replies.
“What did she do?”
“She raised it in the air and snapped its neck,”
“f**k, I never wanted her to have to use her powers to kill anyone,” I grumbled. I wanted Rylee to master her powers, but I never thought she would ever have to use them to kill. Even if it was necessary.
“Well, if she hadn’t, she and I would have both been f****d,” she said to me while I lifted Rylee into my arms.
“Angel, are you okay?” I heard Kendrick ask my sister. I couldn’t help but smirk a bit.
“I’m fine, babe,” she replied. I shook my happiness for my sister out of my head. I had only one burning question,
“How the f**k were there rogues within the territory!?”
“We don’t know, this is a first for us too, man,” Jason replied. I turned to look at him, and his eyes were black with anger. He was holding Milan who seemed to have an injury to her arm.
“Everyone get back to the castle. Angelo, you and the others burn the bodies,” I commanded.
“YES, ALPHA!” they all replied. I carried Rylee back to the castle. Something was off. We have always had rogues come around the territory, some feral, some not, but we haven’t been attacked within the walls in over a decade. This was random, but yet seemed to be planned at the same time.
We made the walk back to the castle, which was further than I liked, but I needed to get Rylee checked by the pack doctor. As soon we made it through the door, I went straight to the hospital, “Dr. Andrews!” I shouted.
“Alpha, please, bring her this way,” he said. He was already waiting for me. “The Beta informed me you were on your way with the Luna,”
“Get a nurse to check on Milan, she’s been injured,”
“Yes, we already have a team working on her, the Gamma will be fine,” I gently place Rylee on the hospital bed, and I get her covered with a drape. Melody comes in and helps me get Rylee into a hospital gown before Dr. Andrews checks her vitals. I watch as he checks her pulse, her reflexes, and her blood pressure.
“Doctor, how is she?”
“The Luna is fine, Alpha. She is in a stage of healing. Her body is worn out, and it appears that her wolf put her in a deep sleep so that she can heal,” Melody and I let out a sigh of relief. “I’m going to put her on an IV and monitor her vitals overnight. The Luna is young and healthy, so she should be fine within a few hours, but I would like to keep her overnight,”
“I understand, thank you,” a few minutes later, a few nurses come in and hook Rylee to the monitoring machines, and put an IV in her to keep her hydrated. Once they were done, they bowed their heads and walked out.
“Wyatt, I’m so sorry,” Melody says. I look at her confused.
“Why are you apologizing, Dot?”
“I should have done better to protect her. She used her to powers when she shouldn’t have had to, all because I wasn’t fast enough,”
“Hey, don’t do that. You did what you had to, and so did she. You stood by her side to keep her safe, and I’m grateful for that,” I said and put my arm around her shoulders. “Mel, I’m not mad at you or anyone else. You guys went for a run, no one knew that there would be rogues within the walls of the pack. It’s no ones’ fault. Rylee and her ability alerted Angelo and the guards and me,”
“What?” she looked up at me.
“Yeah, when Rylee shouted that there were rogues, she somehow alerted the entire f*****g pack. I don’t know if you guys could hear it the way I did, or even the way Angelo and the warriors did, but it sounded like a massive gong went off in my head,” “No, I didn’t notice, but then again, she was right next to me,” I nodded my head. I thought for a moment, and something else seemed off to me.
“Dot, was it me, or did those rogues, seem abnormally big?”
“Yeah, I thought that too. The two Rylee and I killed were average, but the two that you and Angelo got were huge, like really huge. At first, I thought it was because they were up in my face, but now that you mention it, they were big,” “Angel!” Kendrick shouted coming in the door.
“Hey, are you okay?” she asked him. I realized then Kendrick had a bandage around his bicep.
“I’m good baby, it’s just a scratch. It should heal before dinner,”
“Ken, why the f**k were there rogues within the walls?” I ask while gritting my teeth.
“I’m trying to figure that out right now. I sent a team of trackers to where the fight took place and am having them retrace the rogues’ footsteps. Hopefully, they figure out where they came from and how they got in,” “What about Angelo?” I asked.
“He and his team finished burning the bodies,” I clenched my fist in my hand frustrated that Rylee was put in danger. “How’s she doing?” Kendrick asked referring to Rylee.
“The doctor said she’s in a stage of healing. Kaleigh put her in a deep sleep so she can recuperate,” I replied.
“Angel, you mind telling me what the hell happened?” Kendrick asked Melody.
“It’s like I told Wyatt. She used her to powers to levitate the rogue in the air, and then she somehow snapped its neck,” Kendrick looked at me for an explanation, but I didn’t have one. The only thing Rylee was used to doing when it came to her telepathic powers was lifting small objects and earthly elements to manipulate them. Having to lift a three hundred pound wolf and use enough force and power to snap its neck was probably too much power for her to take.
About half an hour later, Jason and Milan came in and Milan was in a sling,
“You good?” I asked her.
“I’m pissed but other than that I’m good,”
“Yo, did those rogues seem big to any of you?” Jason asked. He must have noticed too. We all nodded.
