My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 59

{Brent's

P.O.V.}

What happened today was just plain foul. Nobody was expecting dead bodies to fall from the sky right as dinner was about to start. I found it in me to push past the initial horror, at least, enough to help Chad get a handle on the situation. After we cleared the dining room, Lexie, Maverick, J, and I were waiting for Chad and Lanie in the recreation area on the first floor of the packhouse. Most of the pack members had gone to their respective homes either due to loss of appetite or to make their own dinner where corpses weren't being served. I saw that a*****e Damon and his family marching up the stairs earlier since Chad and Lanie wanted to speak with them regarding Thornton's remains. I already knew the outcome of the decision; Chad and Richard had asked for Maverick's and my opinions on the matter.

I never got over the s**t that Damon tried to pull when Lexie and Lanie first came to the packhouse. I honestly wished that Richard wasn't so soft and banished him right when it happened. But, apparently, three days without food or water in the dungeons and an a*s-kicking by Rylee was enough punishment in his eyes. I didn't agree and thought I should have a say in the matter since Lexie was his actual target, but Richard, Chad, and Rylee all told me to let it go since he didn't get his hands on Lexie. Wyatt wanted to rip his head off, but even then, Rylee convinced him not to.

Maverick brought up the subject of their family by asking us, "I wonder what their reaction will be when they find out their dad is going to be buried like a rogue?"

"Pissed off, I'm sure, but he deserves it. He straight up betrayed everyone. Why should he get to be buried like a loyal pack member when he was anything but loyal?" I argued.

"I may not have known him, but I don't think treating his family like that is the right thing to do," J mentioned timidly. We all looked at her in shock. She immediately cowered behind Mav.

"Hey, it's okay, darlin'. They're not going to bite," Mav comforted her and brought her out from behind him.

"Yeah, sorry about that, J. I'm just surprised you're actually giving us your input," I reassured her with a smile.

"Is that not allowed?"

"What? No, of course, it is! You're one of us-well, hopefully, you will be," I responded and looked between her and Mav.

"It's, uh ... a work in progress," Mav replied cautiously. I gave a curt smile and nodded.

"Well, if you want my opinion, Thornton should be burned to ashes and buried with the dirt because that's what he is!" Lexie declared, crossing her arms. "He had the nerve to be a mole in this pack and even tried to have everyone killed! And not just us! Wyatt, Sam, and all of the other Alphas!" she continued while huffing and puffing.

"Hey, okay, calm down, babe. He's dead. Whatever he did or didn't do doesn't matter anymore. He's dead."

"Is that seriously all you guys ever f*****g do!?" someone shouted at us. We all looked up at the door and saw Damon and Lorelai standing there.

"What did you just say?" Maverick asked, clearly annoyed.

"Some leaders of the pack you motherfuckers are, sitting around gossiping and talking trash about pack members!" Damon retorted.

"You better watch your mouth, Damon. How dare you speak to us like that!?" I seethed. "Like it or not, we're the ranked members of this pack now, and you better start learning to hold your f*****g tongue!"

"Or what, a*s-wipe? Do you actually think I'm afraid of you? You're nothing but a lousy Omega newborn! You only got the position of Beta because of a gratuitous handover. You're not even pure! You're nothing but a street-rat brought in off the streets by Richard!" "Street-rat to go with street-trash," Lorelai added, directing her insult to Lexie.

"What the f**k has your panties all up in a f*****g wad?!" Maverick growled.

"The fact that our pack is now doomed because that senile, old man Richard and those other old farts decided to hand the pack over to a bunch worthless clowns like you guys!" Damon taunted. What the hell was his problem? Did he have a f*****g death wish, coming in here and being a complete and utter jerk to all of us?

"What the f**k is your problem, seriously!? You're the ones that f****d up, and yet, you're blaming us for your stupid decisions. For your dad's stupid decisions?" Lexie snapped at them. "How about growing the f**k up and taking responsibility for your own actions, huh? Isn't that what being a responsible adult is supposed to mean?"

"That's assuming that they've ever learned to be responsible. But, seeing how their dad reacted to them being punished a few months ago, it appears that the apple doesn't fall from the tree. No wonder they're such f**k ups," Maverick sneered. "DON'T TALK ABOUT MY FATHER!" Damon growled.

"WHO THE F**k DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GROWLING AT, PUP!" Maverick shot back. With Maverick being closer to his 30's, he was older than every single one of us in this room. Although everyone could see Damon flinch, he still wouldn't back down. Instead of responding to Maverick, he geared his eyes towards me.

"What the f**k are you staring at?" I challenged him.

"You think you're so f*****g high and mighty since Beta Jackson gave you his position, but newsflash, newb, you don't deserve to be Beta. You're not meant to be one of us, let alone to lead us. You should have died along with all of those other pathetic humans when you were at Halfmoon!" My eyes turned black almost instantly the moment I heard him bring up what happened back then. Everyone in the pack was aware that mentioning my past could stir up PTSD for me, so it was forbidden for anyone to speak about it, and that included Damon. But I guess for him, his jealousy and hatred towards me made him think he was an exception to the rule.

"DAMON!!!" Someone roared at him, shaking the entire room. Damon stood straight up in horror. It wasn't Chad. No, it was far, far worse. It was Jackson and Richard. "You obviously didn't learn your lesson the first time around!" Richard scolded him, standing directly in front of him and Lorelai.

Damon didn't say anything and neither did Lorelai. Damon's eyes darted from side to side as if he was contemplating how to respond. I watched as he squared his shoulders, and at first, we all thought he would give some kind of fake apology, but he surprised us all when he did the complete opposite. "Learn my lesson? Did you think that throwing me in the dungeons was supposed to scare me into submission?" Damon sneered at Richard. Richard was slightly taken aback by Damon's clear insubordination. Even Lorelai looked shocked, at first, but she soon recovered and joined her brother on the stupid train.

"My brother is right! We have no reason to fear you or Jackson anymore. You have no rank in this pack!" she insisted.

"Rank obviously holds no importance to either one of you, seeing as how you two clearly disrespect those that do have rank over you!" Jackson shouted at her.

"What the hell is going on in here!?" Chad shouted from the door with Lanie by his side. Lanie rushed over to Lexie.

"Are you okay?" she checked on her sister. Lexie nodded, and Lanie immediately snapped her head towards Damon and Lorelai. "You two seriously don't know when to f*****g quit!"

"Quit? Did you honestly think you scared me just because you b***h slapped me twice and kicked my brother in the balls?" Lorelai retorted.

"And hearing your mother call you two f**k ups obviously held no importance either?" Chad sneered at the two of them as he joined Lanie. I took my place with Lexie, and Maverick and J came up next to us.

"Oh, sizing us up, are we?" Damon taunted. "Do you f*****g think I'm afraid of any of you?"

"Damon, you better shut that hole in your face while you're still ahead!" Jackson bellowed.

"Shut the f**k up, old man! You have no authority!"

"WE DO!" I shouted at him.

"And I would rather eat trash than listen to or obey an ignominious newborn!"

"Oh, I'll make you eat trash alright," I threatened as I tried to stomp towards him but was stopped by Lexie. I turned around to face her and she just shook her head.

"Don't stoop to his level. He's just trying to provoke you," she whispered to me.

"What? You have to get your b***h's permission to stand up for yourself?" Lorelai spat. Lanie and I both snarled at her.

"Is that all that you know how to do? Insult people? Seriously? Now I know why the moon goddess never gave you a mate. She didn't want to make some poor bastard deal with your overly annoying and immature a*s," Lexie mocked her. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" Lorelai screamed.

"You heard me, you crazy, narcissistic cunt!" Lexie shouted. "Did I say that right?" she quickly asked me.

"Yes."

"Why you little-" Lorelai ran towards Lexie, but Lanie jumped in front of her and took the brunt of the force from Lorelai.

"LANIE!" Chad and Lexie both called out. As those two were in their tussle, Maverick called out to me, "Brent! Look out!" I turned around to see Damon lunging for me. He landed on me, but I was able to break through part of his attack as I held onto him. "YOU'RE WEAK!" Damon shouted at me as he punched me once, twice, and then stomped on my abdomen. The punches didn't faze me, but the stomp to the abs did some damage.

"GET OFF OF HER!!!" Lexie screamed. Her screaming got my attention, and I lifted my head to see her on top of Lorelai's back pulling her hair and all three girls screaming and cursing. Chad, Maverick, and J were just standing back, staring at the whole debacle. My slight distraction to check on the girls allowed Damon to kick me while I was down.

I rolled to my side and was slowly losing my patience with him. If he didn't stop while he was ahead, I was going to rip his motherfucking head off, and his death would be completely justified, given that he just attacked me-the Beta of the pack.

He stomped up to me and was about to kick me again, but I grabbed his ankle and pulled his leg from underneath him which made him land hard on his back. I pulled him towards me and sucker-punched him in the left orbital bone. I heard a small crunch, and I was quite sure that I just broke his face. But he pushed past the pain, got to his feet as I did, and he charged at me to tackle me. In a split second, he suddenly went flying across the room with Lorelai on top of him who had a fresh bite mark on her right shoulder. I turned around to see a wolf standing in place of where Lexie was. I was so stunned at how beautiful Brooklyn was. Even Chaos completely forgot about our fight with Damon as he was practically drooling in the back of my mind. I was always under the impression that Brooklyn would be a white wolf, like Atlanta, but I was wrong. Completely and totally wrong. Brooklyn was a silver wolf. Not grey but silver. And I mean silver. Her coat shined like pure titanium, and her fur didn't appear soft.

"My goddess," Richard and Jackson both gasped.

"Whoa," Chad gawked. Maverick and J were just gaping at the sight before them. As beautiful and astonishing as she was, Brooklyn was pissed off. Her hackles were straight up, and they came to a sharp point-like spikes. "What the f**k!?" Damon cried out as he pushed Lorelai off.

"That b***h f*****g bit me!" Lorelai shrieked as she looked at her shoulder. "SHE ATTACKED ME! THE FEMALE BETA ATTACKED ME!" Lorelai screamed and cried at the top of her lungs. Pack members started to rush into the recreation room, and it finally dawned on us what she was doing. "She's not even a normal wolf! Look at her! She's a freak!" she pointed and shouted as she stood to her feet.

"Are you f*****g serious? Are you seriously going to stand there and make accusations against Lexie when you attacked her first!?" Chad shouted.

"Of course the Alpha would side with her! The Luna is the Beta's sister! He's being biased! How is that fair!?" Lorelai cried out.

"And look what Beta Brent did to me!" Damon suddenly exclaimed, gaining the spectators' attention. "He punched me so hard across the face for my father's crimes and broke my orbital socket!" I looked back at Chad and the others, and we were all so confused. Did they honestly think that they would get away with fabricating lies like this?

"Why does the Beta female's wolf look like that?" a pack member questioned.

"Yeah, her fur looks like it's metal," someone else interjected. I could see Brooklyn's eyes gaze at them with confusion. It was obvious that their comments and questions were starting to make her lose confidence in herself.

Hey, hey, don't do that. Don't let their commentaries affect you, baby. You're f*****g beautiful. You're so different and in the best way possible.

But they're talking bad about us.

No, they're not. They're simply curious because you're unique. Just like Atlanta is. According to Richard, snow-white wolves are rare, and by the looks of it, the same goes for Brooklyn.

I could see her eyes soften a bit. I linked her once more to let her know that it would be best to shift back so that the pack members could see she meant no harm, and that Lorelai was lying out of her teeth. As soon as she did, I grabbed a blanket off one of the bean bags in the room and had her cover up.

"Alpha, is it true? Did the Beta's attack them?" a pack member asked Richard. Chad was slightly caught off guard, seeing that pack members weren't asking him even though he was the current Alpha. But before Richard could even say anything, Lexie interjected. "No, it's not!" she said confidently.

"No one was asking you, you, you, MONSTER!" Lorelai shouted. Lexie turned her gaze to her, her eyes now black as night.

"You sniveling coward! Did you and your brother honestly think that you could come in here, insult us, disrespect us, attack us, and then lie your way out of it!?" Lexie hurled back at her. "You should have been banished the day you slapped my sister! But instead, we showed you leniency because we were new, and we didn't want trouble. Not anymore. I'm sick of your bullshit, Lorelai, and it's time that you and your brother pay for your crimes!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! Sure, I slapped Lanie when she first got here, but she deserved it! She took my mate from me!" Lorelai claimed. Not this s**t again. "Chad was supposed to be my mate! Everyone in this pack knew Chad was going to take me as his chosen! But then you and your w***e of a sister came and ruined it all! I SHOULD BE THE LUNA!!!" she screamed like a banshee. "I just wanted to speak to you to try and get you to persuade Lanie to give Chad back to me, but instead of listening to reason, you attacked me by shifting into your crazy-looking wolf!" she insisted and looked at everyone in the room with crocodile tears. You could see that some of the pack members thought she was insane, but a few actually did start to believe her.

"You have no idea who you're messing with, Lorelai!" Lanie shouted at her.

"See! Even the Luna is threatening me now!"

"Someone go find this b***h's mother," Lexie snarled through her teeth.

"May I ask why?" a pack member asked, raising their hand.

"Tell her that both of her kids are going to die today." The crowd gasped.

"You all heard that right!? The Beta female just threatened to murder us!" Damon exclaimed.

"You misunderstand. I'm not going to kill you myself. The pack members here will vote for you two to be executed or banished. Either way, you're done for!" Lexie responded. "Because they're going to see with their own eyes exactly how f****d up the two of you really are." "What?" Lorelai sneered. Without saying another word. Lexie's eyes turned stark white and her hair started to change colors too.

"Oh shit."
