My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 12

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

I ran out of the conference room like a bat out of hell and immediately went to go find William. He didn't tell us the entire truth, and I knew it from the beginning. The shock of finding out the origin of Kendrick's mother temporarily distracted me, but not right now. Considering William's identity and the fact that he himself was immortal, something told me that he wasn't just the first of our kind, the Primordials, but also the god of our kind. I found him with Olivia outside walking around the mazes, and I ran straight up to them fuming. "Rylee, what's the matter?" Olivia asked, seeing my angry expression.

"You have three seconds to tell me everything you know about the Lunar Kingdom, or I swear we are going to have problems," I said directly to him. My attitude was one thing he could never tolerate, and his eyes immediately flashed black in anger at my disrespect. "Rylee, you better have a good reason for threatening me."

"The kingdom's stolen treasure, what do you know about it?" His eyes flashed back and I sensed he was shocked at my question. "Answer me!" I pressed again.

"Rylee... How?..."

"Lizzy, she used to tell everyone stories when they were kids about the kingdom. In one of her stories, she talked about the kingdom being overrun by pirates and that someone from the kingdom gave away the location of it. But the attack was a decoy and that someone stole the treasure of the wolves, but no one was willing to go after them."

"They couldn't. If anyone left without being released they would ..."

"Never get their memories of the kingdom back because they would be considered rogues. Yeah, we got that already. What we don't get is why Jason seems to think that the "them" Lizzy mentions in her story is about the treasure and not the thieves. Lizzy said, no one would go after 'them," I replied and again used my fingers as quotations. I watched as he looked at Olivia and her eyes were closed, her face stoic. She knew as well, but she too wasn't saying a thing. "Rylee, I don't think Jason ..." I raised my hand to stop him.

"Do not even think about trying to convince me that Jason doesn't know what he's talking about. As of right now, I know for a fact that you are lying and withholding vital information. Either you tell me the truth, or I will beat it out of you." "Rylee," he growled at me, and I growled right back.

"This is my pack, and two girls that I have sworn to protect may be in grave danger because of something you're not telling us!" I yelled in his face. "I WANT THE TRUTH! AND I WANT IT NOW!" I roared at him in my Luna voice, making him jump. I rarely ever used my Luna voice on anyone, but the information he was withholding from us was important. I watched as he fought his anger at the blatant disrespect I was showing, but he knew that even though he was an Alpha by blood, he gave up that right long ago. "Olivia, put a shield around us," he told her, and so she did. The second we were behind the shield, William looked at me and glared.

"Don't give me that look. Ever since you came into my life, all you've done is hide things from me, only for me to find out later. Both of you have! That s**t is what almost cost me my mate and my son's father, and I told you that if I ever had to find out another secret the long way again, I would not be happy about it. Now, tell me the f*****g truth for once in your life, William!" He grumbled under his breath as he fought to suppress his rage. I could honestly care less that I pissed him off because I was beyond pissed off myself. He was going to feel the wrath of Rylee.

"Fine," he finally said, looking me dead in the eyes. "It is true, the treasure stolen from the kingdom was in fact a set of twins. At least, that is what I was told after I saw what happened."

"What do you mean by what you saw?" I asked him.

"Like Lizzy, I too will receive visions of the Lunar Kingdom, both good and bad; however, it is not because of the same reason that Lizzy got them. She got them because she was born there, and after she was given back her memories when she became of age, it was a way she could keep in touch with her previous life when she lived there."

"What about you?"

"I get the visions because I am a guardian of the kingdom."

"What!?" I exclaimed. "What the f**k do you mean that you're a guardian?"

"I'm not a god, not like the moon goddess or the higher powers that reside in the kingdom. I was created by them, as you were. Their lives have no recorded beginnings, and they will have no end unless they were to be released to live amongst us; however, because I was the first of our kind, and have the power of immortality, they turned to me to guard the kingdom from the outside."

"If you were meant to guard the kingdom, then how did someone get in and kidnap a set of twins?"

"Because at the time of the attack, I was not at my post. I was called away by one of the gods, and to this day, I believe that he is the reason why the kingdom was attacked. The timing was too conspicuous, and as soon as I was called away, s**t hit the fan, as you young ones say."

"Lorenzo," Olivia touched his arm when she could see that he seemed upset. "Do not blame yourself. If you were played by someone, it is not your fault."

"But it is," he replied as he closed his eyes. "With my powers, I should have been able to see that I was being played, but I didn't. I was too blinded by trust, and I left my post."

"Wait, I thought you were off on some island around this time," I said to him.

"This happened before. After the attack and the kidnapping, I resigned as the kingdom's guardian and went to Vanuatu. A few years later is when I got the premonition of your pack, and well, you know everything else from that point."

"You said that the treasure was a set of twins that belonged to the wolves?"

"Yes."

"Lexie and Lanie."

"What?"

"Lexie and Lanie! They're the treasure!" I shouted at him. He was taken aback and furrowed his brows.

"What are you talking about, Rylee?" Olivia asked.

"Lexie and Lanie's blood comes from Alpha blood, and further tests found that they are descendants of the moon goddess," I explained to them and Olivia gasped. William squinted his eyes in disbelief. "William, who is the god that called you away from your post?" "It doesn't matter."

"What!? What do you mean it doesn't..."

"Rylee! It doesn't matter because he's dead!"

"What? But... How can a god..."

"He was banished from the kingdom, and I was tasked with killing him. Afterward, I left the kingdom."

"Do you know who kidnapped the twins?"

"No, but now I'm determined to find out."

"How would the girls live after they were taken?" I asked.

"Normally, they would have to be reborn, and they more than likely were."

"I don't understand."

"Even though they were infants when they were taken, whoever took them may have already had a place for them to be reborn."

"Wait, you're not saying that an Alpha and Luna willingly participated in this reincarnation, are you?"

"I honestly can't say for sure, but it would make the most sense." I grabbed my hair and shook my head at just how f****d up that sounded. I looked up at him and lifted a brow. Reading my thoughts, he immediately shook his head at me. "No, Rylee, I will not reach out to them. I can't."

"You can't or you won't?"

"I can't. Even if the kingdom is always in the same place, the gate to the kingdom is not. It is moved every few minutes, and only those who have been granted access can find it. I lost that access the day I resigned as guardian of the gates." "So, there's no way you can find it?"

"None whatsoever." I glared at him a moment, and for once, he was actually telling the truth.

"We need to figure out which Alpha and Luna gave birth to the girls when they were reincarnated. Since they were infants when they were taken from the kingdom, they're not going to have any memories to be given back, and I think that's why no one ever bothered to go after them or save them. There was literally no risk of them giving away the location of the kingdom when they got older."

"I agree that they may pose no risk to the kingdom's location, but it doesn't mean that they're still not valuable," William replied, and I nodded my head. I exhaled a deep sigh, I finally understood why Lexie and Lanie were so special to these traffickers. I knew now more than ever that whoever had them, would not rest until he got them back.

"I have to tell the others."

"Rylee, you can't!" William shouted at me.

"I'm not going to hide this important information from everyone! Especially Wyatt!" I shouted back. "Do you understand that these girls' lives are in serious peril and now we at least have enough information to know why!? God, for once in your life William, stop thinking about yourself and your past! This isn't about you! This is about two innocent wolves that were taken from their home and were raised in cages like they were f*****g animals! Not only that, but these traffickers will also stop at nothing to get them back given how special they are!" I yelled at him.

Suddenly, something dawned on me. "Oh my god, that's why you came back from your world tour. The moment you had our premonition you knew who they were, or at least had an idea. That's why you were so eager to meet them." William lowered his head and didn't even deny it. "You know, I would think that after two years of knowing each other and the fact that we're each other's only living relative, aside from my son, you would respect me enough to tell me these things when they first come up. But I guess that's too much to ask."

"Rylee."

"Don't... You obviously don't care about me as much as I thought you did. You and Olivia are free to leave Blue Lake whenever you please. I won't ask you to be part of the pack because you don't know what being part of a pack even means. Let alone being part of a family." I turned my heel and walked out of the forcefield and back to the castle.

I didn't have time to wallow in his pity party. I had a pack to run, and two innocent lives to keep safe. If William wasn't going to help me figure out where the kingdom was or get the girls back there before they were found by the traffickers, then I was going to do it myself.

After cooling off, I went to Wyatt's office to fill him in on what William told me, but when I got to his office upstairs, he wasn't there. I lifted an eyebrow in confusion because he has been glued to this place ever since he found out the next Alpha's meeting was being hosted at our pack. I quickly mind linked him to see where he was.

Wyatt?

Hey, Tink, what's up?

Where are you? I'm at your office, but you are nowhere to be found.

Sorry baby, I'm in our room.

Oh, okay.

I shut off the link and made my way to our room where I was surprised to see Wyatt dressed in a polo, clean jeans, and his hair was slicked back.

"Ummm... Going somewhere?" I asked.

"Yes, but you are coming with me."

"Huh?"

"Wear something comfy but nice, I'm taking you on a lunch date before s**t gets really busy with the upcoming Alpha's meeting. With everything that's been going on the last couple of weeks, I think you and I need some time together." "Wow, really!?"

"Yup!"

I squealed in excitement since it's been a while since Wyatt took me out on a date that didn't include Sam. I already saw that his diaper bag was missing which only meant that Grace and Ronan had him. I quickly changed into a floral top, skinny jeans with a brown belt and some knee-high boots that Milan bought me for my birthday. After eleven years, I finally had a birthday party, and it was the best thing ever. The only thing that could beat it was alone time with Wyatt. This date was going to be so romantic.

I don't know how Wyatt's definition of "a date" got lost in translation, but sitting in his truck, eating take-out diner food at the park was not my idea of a romantic date. I was picking at my food, completely disappointed. I stared at Wyatt as he stuffed his face, but he didn't notice anything was amiss because all he did was glance at me, smiled big, and went back to his food. After another minute or so of me not eating, Wyatt finally noticed.

"Dearest, is everything okay?" he asked with his mouth full.

"Nothing, the food is great, I was just expecting something a little more ... Eh..."

"A little more what? I thought you liked Cornerstone Barrel?"

"I love Cornerstone Barrel, their skillets are great, but when you said we'd be going on a date, I was expecting it to be a little more romantic."

"How is this not romantic? We have great food, music to fit the mood," he said as he turned on his radio to his default music of choice, which was heavy metal, "... and we're at the park with an amazing view of the city." I scoffed and turned off the music. "Okay, one, heavy metal music is not romantic, and two," I paused when something outside of his window caught my attention, "... I think we're being robbed."

"What?" Wyatt turned around and sure enough, some crazy human pointed a gun at Wyatt's head.

"Wallet, keys, and give me your purse lady!" he demanded, but instead of Wyatt doing as he said, he held up his hand to him and turned his attention back to me.

"Define a romantic date for me, dearest, because I thought I was doing alright here for a second."

"Wyatt, I don't think this is the time for that," I said while my eyes darted back and forth between the gun pointed at the back of his head and his face.

"Hey, pretty boy! Did you not hear me?" the gunman shouted.

"Hold on," Wyatt said to him without giving him any eye-contact. "Rylee, seriously, define your idea of a romantic date." I was in shock and couldn't answer him because this seriously was not the best time for this.

"Wyatt!"

"What?"

"A crazy man is pointing a gun at your head!" Wyatt grunted and turned his attention back to the gunman.

"Do as I say, or your girlfriend is going to watch you bleed out."

"You sure you want to do this?" Wyatt asked him. The man shoved the gun up to Wyatt's forehead and I heard it make a clicking sound. I licked my lips and pursed them together as Wyatt stabbed his food with the fork and put the container down. This guy chose the wrong couple to rob.
