My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 16

{Levi's P.O.V.}

After getting kicked out of the castle and placed into a cottage within the Blue Lake territory, I looked at the boss and couldn't fathom what the f**k he was thinking. We needed to be inside the castle to figure out where Project Gemini was and to get them out of here before anyone noticed. By all intents and purposes, he just f****d up our chances of doing that.

"What are you looking at?" he asked me when he finally realized I was glaring at him.

"With all due respect boss, you do realize that you practically ruined our chances of finding Gemini, don't you?"

"Wrong, I increased our chances of getting out of here without anyone noticing," he responded. I c****d my head to the side and just looked at him like he was mad. "Levi, being inside of the castle meant that several hundred pairs of eyes would be on us at all times. But being out here in the open, within a territory as large as Blue Lake allows us to blend, and the potion you will be taking while here will help keep your human stench hidden while you locate the girls."

"And what do you expect me to do when I find them? I can't just abduct them; someone is going to see or hear. Plus, they know what I look like, they won't come willingly."

"They don't know what I look like. While attending the meeting tomorrow, I will be keeping an eye out for the girls. The meeting is only in the morning for a couple of hours. Although this pack land stretches as far as the eyes can see, they are here somewhere, and I will find them. When I do, I will ask Alpha Wyatt for them."

"What do you mean you're just going to ask for them?"

"Of course you wouldn't know how the world of werewolves works. Packs trade members all the time. I will simply suggest a trade."

"What do you plan on trading for Gemini?"

"That part of my plan is currently in motion, so don't you worry about that, Levi. Just be ready to take the girls when the trade goes down and deliver them to their respective buyers." I nodded my head and just stared at him again. The boss was crazy, and he was obsessed with money. He could be doing so much better if he would just sell to anyone and everyone, but he didn't, and our operation lost more money than it made. This was the main reason behind Bane and I wanting to get rid of the boss and take over. He may have two buyers for Gemini, but Bane and I found someone else who was willing to take them both for an even higher price than the two separate buyers combined. If we delivered them to this one buyer, he promised to take out Archimedes for us. I'd have to put up with his s**t for a little while longer while he located the girls, but after this job, I was determined to take over.

"Levi! Did you hear me!?"

"Huh? Sorry, boss, no I didn't. I was thinking of how I was going to deliver the girls without anyone noticing them missing."

"I told you to make sure that you make friends with the Beta and Gamma of this pack. Try to get some information out of them when it comes to the girls. If this pack is as ridiculous as I think they are, then they should easily spill the beans about anything new that has happened here recently."

"Understood boss," I replied. I grabbed my bag and went up to the guest room in the cottage, finally sprawling out on the bed. There was nothing for me to do until tomorrow and I honestly was too wiped out to even care about anything at this moment in time. But I did have one major concern now that I thought about it - who the f**k were the Beta and Gamma of this pack?

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

"Rylee, I cannot believe you did that!"

"I know girl! That was f*****g awesome!"

"Dot! Don't encourage her!"

We were all sitting in Wyatt's office after dinner was finished, and Wyatt was not at all happy with the fact that I kicked out an Alpha into a guest cottage when all Alphas should be staying in the castle as part of the Alpha meeting taking place tomorrow morning. "Rylee, I get that he insulted us and our pack, but he is an Alpha, and he's our guest," Wyatt scolded me again.

"Well I commend her for what she did," Milan answered while rubbing her stomach. "I may not have been at dinner because I was resting, but hearing from Jason what happened, that Alpha Martin needed to put in his place."

"It's Alpha Marvin, babe," Jason corrected.

"Same f*****g difference. The fact of the matter is, he insulted our Alpha, disrespected our Luna, and insulted our pack. He had no f*****g right," she responded.

"You guys, Elder Jonah was present, there was no need for Rylee to take it that far," Wyatt interjected.

"Elder present or not, this is our pack, and I did what any self-respecting Luna would do. I stood up for my pack and punished the a*****e that dares insult it. I also don't trust him in the castle. He's bad news, and I will be damned if he and his human side-kick stay in my house!" I defended myself.

"You said it, Rylee. If I were you, I would have done the same!" Melody agreed, giving me a high five. "Hold up, did you just say human side-kick?" she immediately questioned after our high five. I looked at her with wide eyes and pressed my lips tightly together. I refocused my gaze to Wyatt, and he gave me a not so very happy look.

"Oops," was all I could say to her.

"Dammit, Rylee."

"Sorry, I got caught up in the heat of the moment."

"How the f**k did a human make it onto our territory? And does he f*****g know what we are?" Melody shouted.

"He's trying to mask his scent. To everyone else, he's going to smell like a wolf, but I can obviously pick up on his human scent. I also know for a fact that he knows what we are, which is why I'm very skeptical about trusting this new Canadian Alpha. Nothing against those that come from Canada, but there is something off about this Alpha. I would love to read his mind, but someone won't let me use my powers on the guests," I said looking directly at Wyatt. Everyone else also looked at him disapprovingly. Though I understand that I abuse my powers at times, in cases like this, my powers were most relevant and could help us tremendously, but Wyatt was always so cautious now. Even more so since Elder Jonah and the other Elders were currently on the premises for the Alpha meeting. "Wyatt, maybe allowing Rylee to use her powers on Alpha Marvin would come in handy. You said so yourself that you were questioning an international Alpha coming here out of nowhere. Even if Canada is nearby, there is no reason for him to be here," Jason suggested.

"No, we can't. Not with the Elders in attendance. The only other Alpha who knows anything about Rylee is Richard, and I want to keep it that way," Wyatt replied. "Jonah is here to lift the probation period as well. We can't give him any reason to keep it in place longer than it already has been. Plus, I already told Rylee that I will have Lorenzo keep an eye on Archimedes. No one knows he has powers other than those of us in this room and a select number of pack members."

"Fine, whatever!" I said and crossed my arms in annoyance. I wanted to keep tabs on this Marvin guy, but I promised Wyatt I would do whatever he said throughout the duration of this Alpha meeting.

"I know you're not happy with me Tink, but if there is anything questionable, then Lorenzo will get the answers," Wyatt said to me and I just nodded because I had no other choice.

"Okay, so now that we're through with that, Kendrick, will you please go summon Alpha Richard to my office?" Wyatt asked. Kendrick nodded and went to go fetch him. A few minutes later, Kendrick returned, and Wyatt dismissed everyone except for me, Kendrick, and Jason.

"Wyatt, Luna, Beta, and Gamma," Richard said while bowing his head in respect. Chad followed his lead and they both took a seat at the table in Wyatt's office. "So, what did you need to talk to me about?" he asked.

"Richard, what we discuss in this office needs to stay in this office," Wyatt said to him.

"Of course. I understand. This must be quite serious if you're asking to meet with me privately along with Chad."

"We trust Chad, so we have no issue discussing this in front of him."

"Very well. What can I help you with?" Wyatt took the time to explain in great detail how we came upon Lexie and Lanie, and the ordeal their lives had been up until that point. Richard and Chad were not even the least bit shocked that there were traffickers in the area and that humans were involved.

This conversation took a turn in a direction that I never thought possible, but we literally went from discussing the twins and traffickers to werewolf hunters who were paid to find the supernatural and kill them. I was always under the impression that humans weren't aware of our existence, but I guess my sheltered life of slavery really prevented me from knowing just how terrifying the real world actually is. I thought turning a child into a slave was heinous, but that seemed so minute compared to some of the s**t that Wyatt and Richard were discussing.

"Okay, so back on topic," Richard said. "Who are these girls?"

"Their names are Lexie and Lanie, and we've been told that they're of Alpha blood," I answered him. "They just turned 18 not too long before we found them, and they've yet to shift into their wolf."

"Is there a reason why they're not shifting?" Chad asked.

"Is there a reason why they're not shifting?" Chad asked.

"I think they're afraid," I answered.

"Where are they from?" Richard inquired.

"Dr. Andrews attempted to do some kind of tooth isotope analysis test, but he said that it was inconclusive," Wyatt replied.

"Hmmm... I see. Well, this is new to me as well. I haven't heard of any pack having suffered a kidnapping of any kind."

"Well, we don't think that they were kidnapped from a pack per se, but we think they have been taken from somewhere more important," I said to him. He and Chad gave me a funny look as they tried to make sense of what I said.

"Alpha Richard, have you ever heard of the Lunar Kingdom?" Kendrick asked him directly without any hesitation.

"That story of where the higher powers come from?" We all nodded our heads. "Well, yes, but only in stories and fables. What do these young ladies have to do with a fictional kingdom?"

"Richard, we have reason to believe that the kingdom is real and that these girls are from there," Wyatt said to him. Richard's eyes widened, and Chad looked a little more lost than someone should be. "I know it may sound crazy, but we've obtained evidence from multiple sources that this is highly probable, and we need your help to keep the girls safe."

"If this is true, then I will do what I can. If these girls are this special, then they must be protected from whoever the trafficker is at all costs."

"It sounds like they were attempting to breed the girls and profit from it," Chad interjected. We all nodded our heads because all of us had also come to the same conclusion.

"Wyatt, what do you need?" Richard asked.

"I need you to use your connections and resources to find the traffickers. My line of business can't handle something like this, and according to my cousin in Las Vegas, this is bigger than we could even have anticipated. I don't care how much it costs, we need to find these men and put a stop to this."

"I couldn't agree more. Let me see what I can do."

"Thank you."

"Of course," Richard said. We sat in silence for a moment before he broke it again to ask a question. "Wyatt, would it be possible to meet these girls?"

"I don't see why not, but it is up to them if they want to meet someone new. They're still quite skittish and untrusting."

"As they should be, given the life they endured for so long. They were lucky to have landed on your territory and not someone else's."

"Rylee, do you think the girls would be willing to meet Alpha Richard and Chad?" Wyatt asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Let me go ask them," I replied. "I'll mind link you," I told him and stood up. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and made my way to the other side of the castle and down to the second-floor wing where they were staying. We made sure that the guest Alphas were in the west wing while the girls were in the east wing. This ensured that no one would run into them as long as they didn't wander around.

When I entered their wing in the guest quarters, I saw that their door was open. I peeked my head in and saw them sitting on Lanie's bed in the back corner, and she was braiding Lexie's hair for her.

"Knock, knock," I said while knocking on their door and going in. "You guys doing okay?" I asked, walking over towards them. "Yeah, we're fine," Lexie answered.

"Stop moving!" Lanie shouted at her, making Lexie roll her eyes. I giggled at them and shook my head.

"Girls, there is a guest who would like to meet you two, if you are up for it," I said to them. They both looked up at me in shock and froze in their spots. "You have nothing to worry about. Wyatt and I trust this person with our lives, and he is harmless. He is actually going to help us locate the traffickers who had you two so we can put an end to their operation. He's sweet and kind," I continued. They both looked at each other and then back at me. Their eyes clouded over, and immediately, they both turned back and nodded. I smiled and had them follow me to Wyatt's office through the back stairwell so no one could see us. When we made it to the corridor that led to the office, I heard one of them moan. I turned around and saw Lanie sniffing the air. "Lanie?" I called out to her.

"Something smells good," was all she said.

"I don't smell anything," Lexie replied. It was then I realized what was going on. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped. I looked towards the door of Wyatt's office, and then back at Lanie whose eyes had now turned black with l**t.
