My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 44

{Rylee's P.O.V}

The winds of change had brought some turbulence into my life, but it was a welcome reprieve to arrive back at Golden Moon to attend Chad's Alpha ceremony and Lanie's subsequent Luna ceremony. Even with everything that has been going on, I couldn't be happier for both of them. Kendrick accompanied us as it was customary for Beta's to do so when attending an event as grand as an Alpha ceremony. It was going to be particularly special because tonight was the full moon.

"Mommy," Sam began to fuss in his car seat as we were approaching closer to the packhouse. Wyatt preferred to leave him with Ronan and Grace, but I insisted that we bring them here so that he could have a playdate with Killian. They have become fast friends and being only several months apart in age really helped. Additionally, I knew that Chad's nephews would be here, and Sam had a blast with them last time. "We done?" Sam implored sweetly, signaling he was over being inside the car for so long. "Yes, baby, we're here," I told him as I pinched his cheek.

"Yay! Kian!" he clapped his hands.

"Kian?" Kendrick repeated from the driver's seat.

"Killian," I responded.

"Oh, damn, how is it that I can understand Leighann, but I can't understand Sam?" Kendrick wondered and shook his head. Wyatt and I just smiled. Kendrick pulled up to the front of the packhouse where Chad, Richard, and Brent were greeting the arriving guests. Wyatt opened the door and exited our vehicle first. I unbuckled Sam from his car seat, and he jumped out of the car. I stepped out as well, and Wyatt held his hand out for me.

"Wyatt, thank you so much for coming," Richard welcomed him. "Young Alpha, it's so good to see you again," he greeted Sam and extended his hand out. Sam smiled bashfully and gave him a high-five instead.

"Where Kian?" he asked immediately.

"He's inside waiting for you," Chad replied.

"Daddy, go!" Sam said and pulled Wyatt by his shirt.

"Hold on, son. I need to greet Chad first. Remember, Alphas need to be respectful and do their job before they have fun."

"Okay," Sam lowered his head.

"Wyatt, I may need you to help with Killian when it comes to Alpha training," Chad said shaking his hand.

"Of course, I'd be happy to give you a few pointers."

"Rylee, it's good to see you again," Chad approached me and put out his hand. I kindly took it.

"It's good to see you too, Chad. Where are the girls?" I asked him.

"They're getting ready for the ceremonies. I haven't seen Lanie all day. My mother is acting like this is our wedding day instead of our Alpha and Luna ceremonies," he replied and rolled his eyes. I couldn't stop the giggle that followed. "And Lexie?" I asked.

"She's probably with them," Brent answered. I looked at him, and he looked oddly happy.

"Brent, I get the feeling that you and Lexie made up, and very recently I might add," I said to him and lifted my brow knowingly. Brent immediately blushed, making all of the men chuckle. "Daddy!" Sam yelled and pulled on Wyatt again.

"Samson Valencia!" Wyatt growled at him. Sam pouted at him and tears filled his eyes.

"Wyatt, don't be so harsh. He's just excited to see his friend," I scolded him. "Come on, baby. Let's go find Killian while Daddy does his business." I picked him up and took him inside.

Stop coddling him, Rylee. He needs to learn patience.

Stop being such a d**k to him, Wyatt. He's barely going to be two. Be happy that he has the amount of patience he does at the moment.

I could feel Wyatt roll his eyes at me as I walked away. I ventured around the packhouse with Sam in tow, looking for Killian and Chad's parents. I was greeted by several Golden Moon pack members and other Alphas that had already arrived. As I turned the corner to the dining area, I ran into Chelsea.

"Oh! Excuse me," I said.

"Oh, Luna Rylee, what a pleasant surprise!" she exclaimed with a smile. "Hi, Sam!" she said and pinched his cheek.

"Mommy, Kian!"

"Sam, be polite and say hello to Chelsea first, then we will go find Killian," I gently reminded him.

"It's okay. Pups at his age only have one thing on their mind, and that's playtime. All three of my boys went through that phase. It's the socialization phase," Chelsea assured me.

"I know, but Wyatt wants him to be a polite and respectful person before he lets him have his fun," I said without bothering to mask the sarcasm in my voice.

"Thomas is the same way. They're just trying to mold them into respectful men."

"He's barely going to be two!" I asserted, making her laugh.

"My dad has Killian in the back with my kids. I'll take Sam to them, and you can get settled with the other Lunas that are already here. Or, if you want to go see Lanie, she's upstairs on the third floor. The first room on the left," Chelsea mentioned nonchalantly and took Sam from my arms.

"Thank you, Chelsea. I appreciate it. Samson Valencia, you be a good boy and listen to Chelsea and Mr. Ray, do you understand me? They're in charge right now."

"Yes!" Chelsea smiled and whisked Sam away, bouncing in her arms. I let out a sigh of relief as she took my child to go play with the other pups. I made my way back around the packhouse and up the stairs to go find Lanie and Lexie. I was still apprehensive about this whole situation, but I promised Chad that I could at least be a friend to them, for now. I will never deny that they're my sisters but accepting them as such was still difficult at the moment.

I found the room where Lanie was supposed to be with Angeline and knocked three times. The door opened, and Lexie appeared before me. "Rylee!" Lexie shouted and hugged me. I hugged her back and smiled. "Come in," she gestured and held the door open. She was also unusually upbeat and happy, just like Brent. I smiled to myself; her scent wasn't mixed with his, but it was obvious they only had some intimate moments together. I had to commend Brent for moving past this whole ordeal of being related to Ash and accepting Lexie as his mate again.

"Hi, Rylee," Lanie called out from the chair at the vanity.

"Wow, Lanie, you look gorgeous," I told her. Her hair had been curled to perfection, and Angeline had created a Dutch-braid crown around her head. Small, white flowers were threaded between the braids. Her makeup was done very naturally, almost similar to how Milan did mine for my Luna ceremony.

"Luna, so glad to see you again," Angeline said and gave me a motherly hug. I looked at Lanie again and could have sworn I saw my mom for a split second.

"Rylee, is everything okay?" Lanie asked as she noticed me staring intently at her.

"Yeah, it's just that... You look a lot like my ... I mean, our mom with your hair like that. Now that I think about it, you look a lot like her."

"I do?"

"Yeah. I guess I never noticed before with everything that was going on. Actually, now that I think about it, Mom styled her hair the same way for her Luna ceremony too," I said and pulled out my phone. "Luna? What do you mean by your mom?" Angeline asked as she pointed to the three of us. Something told me she missed the memo.

"Uh... She doesn't know?" I verified with the girls and they both shook their heads and looked at Angeline with guilt in their eyes. "Angeline, we recently found out that the girls and I are related. We're half-sisters." "I'm sorry!?" She was shocked, to say the least, but it was understandable.

"Yeah, I apologize that you're just now finding out about this. But, I assumed that Chad would have told you and Raymond."

"Oh, that boy of mine is going to get it. Alpha or not, I'm going to kick his a*s!" Angeline said, making fists in the air. Lexie, Lanie, and I giggled at her. "Right, well, we don't have time for my dramatic antics right now. Lanie, sweetheart, let's get you and your sister in your dresses and do the final touches on your hair and makeup, shall we?" Lanie and Lexie nodded. I stayed to help out. It felt good being there for them and being able to celebrate this milestone with them. They have definitely come a long way, considering their tragic past and all of the trauma they have endured.

Even though it was only a few short weeks ago that they literally landed at Blue Lake, I couldn't be prouder to see them flourish the way that they have. Now, one was going to become Luna and the other was going to become Beta. As I was helping Lexie put on her dress, I felt a sudden pressure in my head. I knew what it meant, and I grasped onto Lexie.

"Rylee?" I heard her call out. As soon as I was about to respond, visions poured into my mind faster than I could interpret. I could hear screams and cries all around me. Pools of blood were accumulating everywhere, and bodies were scattered all over. It was an absolute bloodbath.

As I looked around, I saw that nearly all of the Alphas and Betas were dead. Lunas were sobbing over their mates' bodies, at least, the ones that were still alive. Among the bodies were young pups. But what made my heart catch in my throat was when I saw the bodies of those I loved most. Wyatt's naked body was lying on top of Sam's. Teardrops fell from my eyes when I felt a sudden chill behind me. When I turned around, I was met with a face I never thought I would ever see again. "You're mine!"

I gasped as I came out of my premonition. I grasped my chest, feeling the immense pain of all those who lost a loved one.

"Rylee?" I jumped up when I saw Wyatt in front of me. He had a look of pure concern and fear.

"Wyatt!" I leaped into his arms and cried into his neck.

"Dearest, what happened? What did you see?"

"Sam!? Where's Sam!?" I shouted. I needed to see him. I needed to hold him after what I had just seen.

"He's with Killian outside in the back. He's safe, I promise. Tell me what you saw," he said sternly, trying to get me to calm down.

"Oh god, Wyatt, it was horrible. It was a bloodbath. Everyone was dead. All of the Alphas, Betas, and even some of the Lunas. And ..." I gasped as tears fell from my eyes.

"And what? Tell me, Tink, what else did you see?"

"You, Wyatt. I saw you and Sam, dead. You were naked as if you had just shifted, and you were holding his lifeless little body. Oh god, Wyatt, it was horrible! It was Silver Lake all over again!" I cried and held onto him for dear life.

"Okay, okay. Shhhh..." he cooed. "I'm right here, I'm right here with you. Shhh..." he reassured me as he rubbed my back and held me tightly. "And I'll be damned if anyone lays a finger on our son."

"Wyatt," I pulled away with tears still streaming down my face.

"What? What is it?"

"I saw him, he was there."

"Who was?"

"Ash."

"What?" he growled.

"Rylee, did you say, Ash?" Lanie asked with her eyes wide. I gasped realizing what I had just done.

"Lanie... I..."

"What's going on!? Why is someone who is supposed to be dead in your vision?!"

"Vision?" Angeline asked. I turned my attention to her. "Luna, is that what just happened? You had a vision? What are you!?"

"She's a powerful wolf, Angeline, but that's not what's important right now. What is important is that it seems the Pattersons will be taking their revenge tonight during the ceremony," Wyatt said to her while standing up and bringing me with him. "I need to gather all of the Alphas. I don't know how, but Eric and Ash Patterson are going to be attacking tonight; it seems to me that Ash still has one thing on his mind-and that's having Rylee for himself." Wyatt let me go and stormed out of the room.

"Rylee, tell us what's going on!" Lexie demanded. I calmed myself and nodded my head. They had a right to know, especially since this affected them directly as well.

I spent the next thirty minutes explaining to them that the Pattersons were, in fact, still alive and how that was possible. Once I finished, the girls and Angeline were distressed. I knew this would trigger everyone, more so for Lexie because she and Brent had just fixed things.

"What are we going to do?! What if Eric finds out who we are?" Lanie asked in full-blown panic mode.

"Yeah, what if he tries to take us!?" Lexie also chimed in.

"I won't let that happen. Eric has taken everything from me already. I will not let him take my baby sisters from me! I'll die before I let that happen!" I snarled. I turned my heel and went to go find Wyatt and the others. I followed his scent, and it led me to Chad's office. I burst through the doors, and the tension of pure unadulterated anger was coming off in waves from all of the men in the room. It was filled with all of the Alphas and even a few elders who were here for the ceremony.

"Rylee, where are Lanie and Lexie?" Chad asked.

"We're right here!" I turned around to see Lanie, Lexie, and Angeline entering the office.

"Young man, you have a lot of explaining to do!"

"Mother, not now. We have more pressing matters to deal with. You can scold me later!" Chad shouted. "Lanie, come here," he said to her. Lanie ran over to him and he instantly wrapped his arms around her.

"Brent?" Lexie looked at him. His eyes immediately softened. He let out a deep breath and opened his arms for her. She ran to him instantaneously.

"Luna, what is this about you having powers?" one of the Alphas in the room demanded to know. I turned to him at the sudden question.

"My Luna is not an ordinary wolf. She has multiple abilities, and it's what saved our pack last year during the vampire attack. She didn't just kill the vampire with her bare hands. If you have a problem with my mate and her abilities, then it's your problem, not ours!" Wyatt yelled at him. The other Alpha was taken aback but didn't say anything more. "Now that we've gotten that fact out of the way, what are we going to do about the Pattersons!?"

"Chad, you told me that it was a possibility that they were alive, not that they ACTUALLY were!" Brent shouted.

"It was only a theory up until right now, Brent. I told you to because I wanted to be honest with you, but we didn't know for sure either!" Chad fired back.

"Why didn't anyone tell us!?" Lanie screamed at both of them.

"Yeah! We had a right to know too!" Lexie joined in. The next thing I knew, all of the Alphas in the room were yelling at each other, then at Richard, then at Wyatt, and even at me. I could hear their inner voices as well, judging me for being different. "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THE BLAME GAME!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and shook the room. Everyone became silent. So silent you could hear the sound of a pin drop on the marble floor. "Yes! We have established that Eric Patterson and his good-for- nothing mutt family are still, in fact, alive. My premonition proves that! Somehow, he was able to escape execution, and has been living off the map for the last year. The fact that someone in the Elders council was able to be corrupted by him is no surprise, as he is a manipulative bastard who is used to getting his way! I will not allow him to take what is more precious to me, and that is my family! In my vision, every single one of you Alphas and Elders in this room was dead! D-E-A-D! DEAD! Your heads missing, and your hearts outside of your bodies. If your Luna survived the attack, they were left grieving. Not only did you all die, but so did the young pups of Golden Moon, including my son! So, unless you want to leave your packs susceptible to takeovers by the likes of Eric and Ash Patterson, get your heads out of your asses, and work together like the Alphas you are! Make sure this fucker actually dies and stays dead this time!" I roared at the room. It was eerily quiet, and everyone just stared. After a minute or so of pure silence, Elder Jonah stood to his feet and clapped his hands.

"Spoken like a true Alpha. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce Ryan Lee Duquesne. The heir to the Silver Lake pack. Not only a true Alpha but also a pure Alpha," he said stoically while addressing the entire room. Elder Jonah faced me and bowed his head. The room froze and some even gasped. It was never in an Elder's nature to bow to anyone. Elder wolves were the highest in the hierarchy of werewolves, at least that I knew of.

One by one, the other Elders in the room, which were only two others, also stood to their feet and bowed their heads as well. Then, each Alpha followed suit, and all bowed their heads. I stared back at everyone and didn't know how to process what was happening. Wyatt then came up to me and whispered in my ear, as soft as he could so only I could hear it, "If we didn't have to prepare for war, I'd bend you over and f**k you six ways to Sunday, dearest. That was the sexiest thing I've ever seen, and I'm harder than a boulder right now." I turned my head to him with my eyes wide and I felt the small pool of wetness against my panties. Wyatt's eyes darkened, and I looked down lightly to see the bulge in his pants.

He stared into my eyes and I could have sworn he projected images of what he wanted to do to me just now into my mind. I knew for a fact he didn't have powers. Did he just reverse my own power against me? The wetness between my legs became more fluid, and I had to press my thighs together.

"Alpha Wyatt." Wyatt straightened himself as if nothing happened.

"Elder Jonah."

"You have a fine Luna, and she will make this council proud. But for right now, we need to figure out a way to stop this attack."

"I couldn't agree more," Wyatt replied.

"Jonah, how do we proceed? We have no idea how or when they're going to attack," Richard pointed out. Everyone gradually began to focus on me.

"Young Luna, in your vision, were you able to see the time, or any other point of ref-" Before whoever was talking to me could finish, William and Olivia appeared in the room, frightening everyone.

"What in tarnation!?"

"Holy hell!"

"Where did they come from!?"

"What the f**k!?"

"William? Olivia? What are you doing here?" I asked them as if they didn't just give everyone near heart attacks.

"I had a vision of everyone dying," William answered.

"Who is this man?" someone asked.

"Greetings, my name is William, and I am here to help. This is my mate, Olivia, a light witch. Now that you know our names, let's get back to the real issue at hand."

"William, Eric and Ash are coming," Wyatt told him.

"I saw."

"William, did you see the time it took place? Or anything else like that?" I asked him.

"All I could see was that it was dark, and the moon was at its peak in the night sky. I saw Chad's body, and he had the cut on his hand to show that he was at least about to or had already received Richard's Alpha power."

"Of course," Jonah said and scratched his chin.

"Jonah? What is it?" Richard asked.

"Eric and whatever army he has is going to attack the moment your transfer of power takes place. It's when a pack is at its weakest point. The fraction of a second that there is no Alpha." Everyone stiffened and nodded their heads in agreement. Something wasn't right though.

"Wait," I said and got everyone's attention. "How would Eric even know when that would be happening? He would have to either be here to witness it or ..."

"Or there is a mole," Richard snarled. If there was one thing I knew about Richard, it was that he didn't take betrayal lightly. I'm sure no one did, but Richard seemed to be on a different level than most. Whatever his issue was with betrayal, it didn't matter right now. There was a mole in this pack, and they were feeding information to Eric and Ash. Just wait until I get my hands on this person. They're going to wish they were never born.
