My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 29

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

I should have let Kaleigh kill him. No one would have said anything. He came into my guest room uninvited and tried to have his way with me, all the while Sam was asleep next to me. I could give two shits if he mistook my room for Lexie and Lanie's; that only made this situation a hundred times worse. I should have let Kaleigh kill him. "Luna, I can assure you that Damon will be handled appropriately. That is, once he gets out of the hospital. To be quite frank, I'm surprised you didn't kill him," Richard spoke to me as we sat in his office after the whole ordeal.

"I don't know why she didn't! He groped her, thinking she was Lexie!" Brent shouted, throwing his fist into the wall and leaving behind a gaping hole.

"Brent, that's the third hole this month. Please try to control your anger, son. You're the future Beta. You can't be losing your temper like that all the time," Richard reprimanded him.

"What do you expect, sir!? Damon, that sorry excuse of a diaper stain, said he wanted to f**k Lexie and was going to threaten her to keep quiet about it!"

"And I said that he will be handled. He's lucky that it was the Luna he pissed off and not Alpha Wyatt. Though, I can't imagine Wyatt will be very happy to hear someone in this pack put their hands on his Luna," Richard said while he let out a deep sigh and rolled his eyes. "Where are Lexie and Lanie?" I asked.

"They are with Chad and his parents. And don't worry about Sam, I'm sure he's having the time of his life with Killian as we speak," Richard replied.

"Richard, this is absurd. There has been more drama in the three days we've been here than in the three weeks the girls stayed with us at Blue Lake. What happened to keeping us safe?" I snapped.

"Rylee, believe me, I didn't think my pack members would be this degrading. Though, I can't say that I am surprised by the fact that two siblings are the ones causing the drama."

"What?" I exclaimed. "Are you telling me that Damon and Lorelai are siblings!?"

"Yes, unfortunately, they are. Lorelai is Damon's younger sister. Damon is only a year older than her, so they are very close, and they both have similar personalities."

"Damon and Lorelai are two f*****g peas in a pod, Luna. They feed off each other's toxicity. It's even worse these days because neither one of them has found their mates," Brent spoke up after he finally sat down.

"I'm not one to really judge, but I don't see why the moon goddess would even bother with them. At the rate they're going, they will end up executed for doing something stupid and against the law," I retorted. "I don't care whose room he thought he was going into. You just don't do that. And Lorelai needs to stop antagonizing people out of jealousy and spite. Lanie told me this morning that she has fully accepted Chad as her mate. She's going to be Luna over everyone in this pack, and I'm afraid of retaliation. I went through hell because of someone who was obsessed with Wyatt. I will not allow the same s**t to happen to Lanie, not after the hell she's been through. And if any male wolves think that they can put their hands on Lexie because they believe that Brent doesn't deserve a mate as beautiful as her, then they have another thing coming. There are very few people out there in this world, of our kind, that can relate to what they've been through."

"Yes, Rylee, I completely agree with you on that. And I am happy to hear that Lanie has accepted Chad. What about Lexie?" Richard asked Brent.

"I haven't had a chance to speak to her yet. I will do that once we are done here," he replied.

"Very good. I hope to hear some good news before tonight. It would be great to announce our two new ranked females at the same time we announce the succession of leadership to you and Chad." Brent nodded his head and smiled. I looked at him and gave a small smile myself. He doesn't know it yet, but I already know that Lexie will accept him before the end of the day. Just call it intuition.

"Richard, I will say this once again, but this is the last time. Your pack needs to get in line. I don't care that we are guests, I am a Luna, and the girls are the future ranked females of this pack. They will be respected. After what I saw from Lanie last night, I can already tell you that once she gets into the rhythm of being a Luna and is fully being bonded to Chad, nothing will stop her from keeping what rightfully belongs to her. She may be introverted and shy, but she has fire in her, and she will do whatever it takes to protect what's hers. And as of right now, that's Chad. The moon goddess didn't make a mistake when it came to mating Lanie with Chad. Lanie has the qualities of a Luna because of the passion and desire inside of her. Lexie is cool and calculated with the ability to think on her feet. That's what makes a good Beta."

"Yes, Rylee, I one-hundred percent agree with you. My pack will be blessed to have them as their ranked females, they just don't know it yet." I nodded my head and let out a deep breath. I sensed that Kaleigh was still irritated, but she was calming down now. "Brent, we are adjourned, go find your mate and bring me some good news, will you?" Brent smiled at Richard's humor. He bowed his head and left. After he was gone and the door was closed, I turned back to Richard.

"Richard, what are we going to do about Marvin? It's only a matter of time before he finds out the girls are here. Even if they were to become the Luna and Beta of Golden Moon, I can't help but think if the wrong person finds out about them or learn that someone is after them, they will betray the pack and help Marvin without hesitation," I asked, feeling increasingly distressed about their situation.

"I have been thinking about the same thing, Rylee. And I hate to admit that even though I wish I could say no one in this pack would ever do that, the truth of the matter is, anyone can betray their pack for the right price." He was right about that. I didn't trust anyone in this pack anymore, and I couldn't wait to be rid of Marvin, save Jennifer and anyone else he may have, and get back to my own pack.

{Brent's P.O.V.}

Chaos was agitated after he heard the s**t Damon tried to pull. It wasn't schadenfreude, but I'm glad he went into Luna Rylee's room and not the girls'. I swear, had he actually put his hands on Lexie, I would have killed him. I wouldn't have even been punished for it either. Touching another male's mate is against the law, from my understanding.

While walking towards my destination, a small gust of wind came through. I picked up Lexie's scent and Chaos immediately calmed down.

Mate. She is near. I nodded my head and followed her scent. I was surprised to see that I was following the same path we had taken on our first walk together. I picked up the pace once I figured out she was at the fallen tree trunk based on the trail she followed. As I made my way, I saw her sitting by herself.

I skidded to a complete stop and composed myself. Her mere appearance had my heart racing and my hands sweating. I hated how nervous she made me but loved it at the same time. I've only known her a few days, but it felt like I've known her for a lifetime. There was no doubt about it, Lexie had my heart. I loved her. I was with my ex-girlfriend for three years, and I loved her. I wanted to marry her. But the feeling I got with Lexie was unlike anything I had ever felt before. This mate bond was insane. The way her looks made my heart skip a beat, how my entire body trembled with the need for her, and the fact that her scent alone had my d**k standing at attention, almost instantly, was incredible.

"Brent, I know you're there," she called out to me. At first, I wondered how she knew it was me, but then I remembered she probably picked up my scent too.

"Is everything alright, Lexie? Why are you out here by yourself?" I asked as I walked up to her. When I stood in front of her, she looked up at me with her beautiful eyes, and I felt like my soul was getting sucked into them but in a good way.

"I'm just worried about the whole Damon thing. I mean, he went into Rylee's room thinking it was mine and Lanie's, and he wanted-ugh, I can't even repeat it. I may not have lived in the real world for very long, but I know what he wanted to do to me wasn't right," she said, disgusted.

"I honestly can't even imagine what's going through your mind right now. Believe me when I say that, had it been your room, Damon would be dead. I wouldn't have held back if he succeeded in putting his hands on you. When he gets out of the hospital, he's going to be severely punished."

"I would think getting attacked by Kaleigh was enough punishment," Lexie replied with a small chuckle. I smirked at that.

"Well, unfortunately for him, it's not. Damon has a lot to atone for based on the fact that he wanted to force you into s****l acts. It's even worse that he actually put his hands on Rylee while her son was in the bed with her. I am honestly surprised she didn't kill him or, at least, allow her wolf to kill him. He could have harmed Sam, and that wouldn't have been good for anyone. Forget Wyatt, nothing is scarier than a mom protecting their young." Lexie nodded her head but immediately frowned. "What's wrong?" "What you just said, how nothing is scarier than a mother protecting their young. It makes me wonder if our mother did everything she could to protect us. And I don't mean the moon goddess. I mean our mother that we were reborn to. I mean, Lanie and I were kidnapped when we were babies. Our parents had to have put up a fight to keep us, right?" she asked, looking me dead in the eyes. I didn't know how to answer. I mean, I know my parents did everything they could when I was kidnapped, but I was an adult and considered dead after so many months. It was different in her case.

"Truthfully, I don't know, Lexie. I can't speak for all parents. But, I would like to think that your parents did everything they could to get you back. I mean, you guys are of Alpha blood, so it would make sense that they would do whatever it took to keep you safe." "Why doesn't it feel like it though?" she asked, and I could see tears pooling in her eyes.

"Lexie, your situation with your sister is different compared to mine, or even Rylee's. We don't even know exactly how you guys ended up in Marvin's possession. For all we know, whoever kidnapped you guys the first time around sold you to Marvin right away, and he made a female give birth to you guys. I genuinely don't even know how this whole being reborn thing works. But, I would like to think that whoever she was, she loved you both and it killed her knowing that you were taken away from her," I replied and wiped the tears that fell from her eyes. I always thought of Lexie as the strong, courageous one between her and Lanie, but I guess it was a wall she built up to protect her emotions.

"Brent, do you really want me as your mate?" she asked all of a sudden. I didn't answer her right away because I was so caught off guard by the question. "Do you?" she asked again.

I cleared my throat before answering, "Yes, Lexie, I want you to be my mate, and I want to be your mate if you'll have me."

"Are things always going to be this hard if I were to accept our bond? I mean, Damon wants to hurt me. Lorelai wants to hurt Lanie. What's not to say that others won't try to hurt us when they find out what we're going to be?" I knew she was asking about the fact that she and Lanie would be the ranked females of our pack after tonight.

"I can't answer that, Lex. It's not going to be perfect, that I know for a fact. But, I promise you that I will do whatever it takes to keep you and your sister protected. As well as any other pack member that wants to keep their heads on their shoulders." She looked at me dead in the eyes. Her tears had stopped, and all I saw were blue orbs as beautiful as the ocean.

"Can you promise that you'll love me? The way Chad loves my sister? Or even the way Wyatt loves Rylee?"

"No, I can't," I answered, and her eyes filled with tears again. I cupped both of her cheeks with my hands. God, her face was so small and compact. "I promise to love you more than that." Her eyes widened at my response. Before she could say anything I captured her lips with mine. As soon as our lips touched, it was like fireworks were erupting all over my body. This was it. Our bond was sealed with a kiss. Now all that was left was to complete the mating process, but that would take more time given everything going on. I wouldn't rush her into s*x, especially not after the s**t Damon tried to pull this morning.

Lexie pulled away slightly, but I kept my forehead on hers and we were both panting. She smelled so good, and she tasted even better. Her eyes were still closed, but I watched as she gulped back her nerves.

"Brent?"

"Yeah?"

"Kiss me again." She didn't have to tell me twice. I slammed my lips into hers and held her as tight as I could.

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

I was confused as to why Dorian and his wife were asking about Sierra. No one has mentioned her ever since she was outcasted to the cottage across the lake. I don't think anyone has even bothered to go see her. After our guests dispersed accordingly to get settled in, I made the journey to my office to wait for Dorian.

It's already been three days since Rylee left to stay at Golden Moon, and I was going crazy without her. Even more so after hearing about the drama that occurred with Lanie wolfing out and almost getting into a fight. I wasn't happy that Rylee used her powers on someone from Richard's pack but, based on what Rylee told me, she didn't really have a choice. I hated the fact that complete strangers knew of Rylee's powers now, but there was nothing that I could do at this point. Rylee having powers won't stay a secret forever, and that was something I was going to have to get used to.

As I was waiting for Dorian, I received a video call request from Richard.

"Hello?"

"Wyatt, how are you?"

"Missing my family but, other than that, I'm okay."

"Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there was an incident this morning with one of my pack members and Rylee."

"If you're talking about the female who tried to attack Lanie, I already know about it."

"It's not that, Wyatt. This is more serious and I'm fairly certain that you're going to insist on coming here when I tell you about it." I paused when he said that. Just then, there was a knock on my door, and Dorian peeked his head in. I signaled for him to come in before turning my attention back to Richard. "Richard, what happened with Rylee?"

"HE WHAT!?!" I roared at the computer screen. "WHO IS THIS MOTHER FUCKER!? HE DARE TOUCH MY MATE!!!"

"Wyatt, please, calm down. The issue is being handled. Rylee and her wolf already beat the living s**t out of him and he's currently recovering in the hospital. Once he is released, I will deal with him. I just wanted to tell you, as a courtesy."

"Richard, if he's not dead before I get there, then I will personally kill him!"

"What do you mean before you get here?"

"A distant cousin of mine who specializes in tracking and hunting just arrived here at my pack, and we plan to go to Golden Moon. A team of his best trackers is following a group of traffickers they caught kidnapping a werefox. We think this may be Marvin's group." "Oh, well, that's good news. Who is this cousin?" I turned the computer screen so Richard could see Dorian's face.

"Dorian, this is Alpha Richard Griffin of the Golden Moon pack. Richard, this is my distant cousin, Dorian Shaw, Alpha of the ..."

"The Desert Moon pack of Las Vegas. Yes, I have heard many things about you, Alpha Shaw, you, and your wife. A human turned wolf, hand-picked by the moon goddess."

"Your name sounds familiar."

"I would think so. I sent a gift of condolences when news of your first pup made the headlines."

"Ah, yes, I remember. You sent the arch of white roses for her memorial service."

"Yes. I look forward to meeting you in person, Alpha Shaw."

"Likewise."

"Wyatt, you might want to call Rylee later."

"I will, Richard. I'll call you the day we plan to head over."

"Very good. See you then." I hung up the phone, and Blade was stirring in a rage after hearing that someone put their hands on Rylee.

"Wyatt, you need to calm down. There's not much you can do about that s**t he just mentioned until we get there. And you know as well as I do that you just can't go killing someone else's pack member."

"Dorian, that fucker put his hands on my mate! The mother of my son! He tried to r**e her!"

"But he didn't. And if I heard correctly, she wasn't his target. He just went into the wrong room. It also sounds like your mate did a number on him and chose to spare his life. Going against her by killing him yourself only shows that you undermine her judgment." "What!? What if that was your wife!"

"I wouldn't need to worry. Allie can handle herself. More than likely, she would have done the same thing. Beat the s**t out of him and let him live. Not to show him mercy but humiliation. Males getting beaten by females is one of the most humiliating things they can endure. During training it's one thing but, when push comes to shove, no male wolf wants to get his a*s kicked by a female. Also, I would ask my wife what she wanted to do. Her opinion is important, and I always ask for it." "You?! You ask for your wife's opinion? You never used to ask for a female's opinion on anything."

"I've changed a lot in the last four and a half years, Wyatt. Allie changed me for the better and she keeps Bandit at ease. Allie isn't just my mate or my wife, she's my Luna. Decisions that affect the pack are made by us, and not just me. Allie's opinion is one of the most important. Even more than Brandon and Mikey's." I was shocked. Dorian valued his wife's opinion more than his Beta and Gamma. I had never heard of such a thing. Most Alphas rarely asked for their Luna's opinion on pack politics. "I know you haven't been Alpha as long as I have, but I would think that after ten years, you would have figured out that a Luna has just as much say in pack politics as an Alpha does," he said, almost as if he read my mind.

"..."

"Look, Wyatt, I'm not going to sit here and berate you about getting your s**t together as an Alpha, because that's not why I'm here. But I will tell you this: sending your mate to another pack, thinking that you're protecting her, was the wrong move. Yes, she's powerful, and she wanted to go to protect those two girls you found, but your a*s should have gone with them from day one. I could have easily met you there and not here. What you're doing is excluding your Luna from important pack decisions and torturing both of your wolves by being apart. Why the f**k do you think I brought Allie with me? Not because she wanted to come, but because being away from her isn't good for my emotional state."

"What? Your emotional state?"

"Yes, you f*****g asshat, my emotional state," he snapped at me. "I have no problem admitting it. My wife is my rock, and she keeps me sane. I haven't been away from her for more than a few days because of work. Stop putting your pack in front of your mate. Without a Luna, a pack will eventually fall apart because she is the glue that keeps a pack together. Not the Alpha." I didn't know what to say to him. No one ever said any of this s**t to me before. Not even my parents.

I had originally asked him to see if we could let go of the past and to apologize for the s**t I did ten years ago, but I guess that wasn't even necessary anymore. If there was one thing I knew about Dorian, he doesn't bother with dishing out life advice unless he actually cared. I guess I had a lot to think about.
