My Miracle Luna
Their Gemini Wolves Chapter 75

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

After the way things have played out recently, coming to Halfmoon to try and find Rylee first, only to be met with absolutely nothing, felt like someone rubbing salt into the wound. I was starting to lose all hope and about to go ballistic. My patience had all but disappeared already, and I was beginning to regret not letting Rylee kill everyone a few months ago. Had I just allowed her to, then none of this would be happening. It was no longer a secret that I made everything too personal when it came to Rylee and her powers. I was starting to understand why every time we went one step forward, we ended up going ten steps back. Now here we were, standing in an empty field, for no reason whatsoever than to figure our next course of action. "Wyatt, I think we should head over to Silver Lake and save the hostages," Chad suggested.

"We're not going anywhere until we figure out where the f**k Rylee is!" I fired back.

"But Wyatt, she's not here. I'm sorry, we were wrong, but she's alive at the very least. You would know if she weren't," Lanie said with remorse.

"You being wrong is the understatement of the century, Lanie!" I snapped at her. Chad immediately got in my face and snarled at me. I snarled right back. I was not in the mood for measuring d***s, and I sure as hell was not in the mood to deal with incompetence. "Okay, you two, that is enough!" Richard said and pushed us apart. We don't have time for petty arguments between the two of you. Chad, I get that you're feeling protective of Lanie, but you need to put yourself in Wyatt's shoes. And Wyatt, you need to get a hold of yourself and your anger. Snapping at everyone is not going to help us proceed any faster." I was about to respond when I noticed Jason staring off into space.

"Jason, what the f**k are you doing?" I asked him. He didn't look at me but c****d his head to the side instead. "Jace!" I called out to him. Without saying anything, he signaled with his hand for me to go over, so I did. When I stood next to him, I looked at his face and saw him furrowing his brows and staring out. I followed his line of sight and saw what he saw. "What is that?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that looks like smoke coming from a chimney," he replied. I sensed Chad and Richard as they came up next to us.

"Hm, I don't recall any civilization being in that area," Richard commented. I glanced at Chad, and he at me.

"Worth a shot?" he asked. I nodded my head.

"Jace, stay here and keep an eye out. Chad, Richard, Svetlana, J, and I will go check it out."

"Sure thing, Wyatt." Jace turned around and ordered everyone to fan out and stay hidden just in case. Chad gave the same order to Brent and made sure that Lanie and Lexie stayed behind for now. The rest of us linked up with Svetlana, and she transported us about 100 yards away from where we saw the smoke. Sure enough, I could see a dim light through the trees.

"Morgan," was all I heard. I turned to Svetlana and saw her lip twitching. "That's her shack."

"We're not that far away from where Halfmoon used to be. Why wouldn't you sense it?" I asked her.

"Because. There was no magic in that area, and believe it or not, there's no dark magic coming from the shack."

"Then how do you know it's Morgan's?" Chad asked.

"Because I can see her." We all snapped our heads towards the cabin and saw someone in the window.

"Is that her?" I asked, and Svetlana nodded her head.

"She's... young," Richard commented.

"That's because she is, and she's stupid. She thinks that hiding out in the middle of nowhere would keep her safe. That's why there's no magic protecting the shack. And it appears that she's not alone." I looked up again and saw Morgan standing next to someone that looked to be in a trance.

"Ash."

"What happened to him?" Chad asked. "I never met the guy, but I don't think he's supposed to look like that."

"He's under a spell, and he is dying," Svetlana replied. I gaped at her in shock.

"What do you mean he's dying?" I repeated.

"He sold his soul to Morgan. That's why she's helping him. I told you, Wyatt, dark witches always have a price."

"You told me that she was helping them because Eric saved her life."

"No, I said she was helping Eric because he saved her life. I never said that she was helping Ash for that same price. Dark witches are conniving, and they always cash in their fares. For Eric, it was him saving her life. For Ash, it was his soul. It appears that whatever spells and potions she's been using to keep Rylee hidden is taking a toll on Ash."

"Are you saying that there's no reason to kill him?" Chad asked.

"Oh no, Wyatt should still kill him, or if we can find Rylee, then she should kill him; however, that won't kill Morgan. But, if someone kills Morgan, which I'm hoping that it's me, Ash goes with her."

"Just like Layla would have if you were actually killed by Alessandro," I stated, and she nodded her head. "He did exactly what Layla did. He sold his soul to Morgan so she would help him get Rylee." "That seems to be the case," Svetlana answered.

"I can sense her." We all looked at J, whose eyes had suddenly started to glow, but very dimly. "I can sense, Rylee. She's in that shack." "Are you positive?!"

"Yes, but her signal, it's weak."

"Do you think she's injured?" I asked. "Wait, that wouldn't make sense. Rylee heals five times faster than a normal wolf."

"No, it's not as if she's weakened or injured. It almost feels... small?" I said and looked at me with a confused expression.

"I mean, Rylee is on the petite side, but I don't think that would entail her powers being small," I replied, just as baffled as she was.

"That's because she is small," Svetlana interjected.

"Come again?"

"I know what Morgan is up to. That sniveling little weasel. How had I not guessed it before? Ugh! She is using one of the oldest spells in the book of dark craft. So old, in fact, that experienced dark witches don't even use it anymore." "What is it?" Chad asked.

"Shrinking."

"What?" we all replied in unison.

"Rylee is using her powers, but they feel small because she herself is actually small. Morgan has shrunk her. Which means she's keeping her in a dollhouse. Probably with Ash." "What!?" everyone repeated again.

"Are you telling me that my mate and my unborn pup have been shrunk!? Like she's some kind of Polly Pocket!?"

"Basically."

"f**k this, I'm going in there right now and killing these mother fuckers!" I got to my feet and was about to storm over there when Svetlana restrained me with her powers. "Killing her does not reverse the spell. Killing her will solidify it. We have to let Rylee know that we are here first."

"How!?"

"Have you tried to mind link her?" We turned around to see Lanie behind us.

"Lanie!? What are you doing here? I asked you to stay behind with Brent and the others," Chad chastised her.

"I was worried about Rylee. I couldn't help it," she replied.

"If you aren't Rylee's sister," I said to her and shook my head. She just smiled. "No, Lanie, I haven't tried to link her. But, I might as well do that now since you've mentioned it." Dearest? Can you hear me? Rylee?

Wyatt? I heard a faint voice. It was so faint I almost thought I imagined it. Wyatt? I heard it again.

Rylee, I can barely hear you.

I... runk... ollh ...use.

What?

I... hrunk ... in ... ullhouse.

You're shrunk and in a dollhouse?

Y...s!

Don't worry, Svetlana figured that out. We're about a hundred yards away from the shack that you're being held in. Rylee, Ash sold his soul to Morgan. Oh... sen... upid... bit...

Dammit, your size is making your link come in weak.

...uck... is... ucks...

Rylee, are you in the dollhouse right now?

... O...

What?

No... ot out... iding be... eaup...

You got out and are hiding behind a teacup?

... es!

Ash... ied... itch memo... ake you ... ad guy.

Ash tried to switch your memories and make me the bad guy?

Ye...

Okay. Just hang tight. We're coming to get you. And this time, I won't stop you from killing him. But first, we need to reverse the shrinking spell on you. Hur... Ash... ill noti... I'm... on...

Hurry before Ash notices that you're gone. Wait, are you saying that he is in the dollhouse with you? How is that possible? His body is with Morgan in the shack.

...on't know. Just... me... of... ere

We'll get you out of there.

I broke the link with Rylee and looked around at everyone. I could see they were expecting some good news.

"I was able to link her," I told them, and they all smiled and silently high-fived. "The connection is weak, and she just confirmed that she has, indeed, been shrunk and put into a dollhouse. She says that she got out and is hiding behind a teacup. She also said that Ash was in the dollhouse with her and that we have to hurry before he realizes that she escaped."

"How is that possible?" Richard asked.

"His soul is in the dollhouse while his body sleeps in full size," Svetlana answered.

"What else did she say?" Lanie asked.

"When I told her that Ash sold his soul, she said that he tried to switch her memories and make me out to be the bad guy."

"An alteration of the spell that I used on you," Svetlana stated.

"It doesn't appear to have worked, though."

"Of course, it wouldn't. Rylee is a Primordial. Dark magic used directly on her has no effect, especially like that one. Her wolf can switch their subconscious just as the spell is cast, and it would counteract it. That is why the Primordial cannot fall victim to spells and potions." I had to admit, I liked hearing that.

"Okay, now that we know my sister is in there, what are we going to do?" Lanie asked. I didn't respond but instead linked with Jason and had him bring everyone to our location. It would only take about twenty minutes, given that's how long we were here before Lanie showed up out of the blue.

After everyone arrived, I sent Svetlana and J first so that Svetlana could check for magical booby traps and for J to concentrate on Rylee. It appeared that Rylee was trying to use her powers for something, but because of her current size, it wasn't packing the punch that it needed. Once Svetlana gave us the all-clear, we all went in towards the shack, surrounding it completely. When we got close enough to the door, I was about to shift and break it down, but then it swung open.

"Did you really think that I didn't know you were outside?" Morgan challenged me.

"All I want is my mate. Hand her over to me, and we can go our separate ways." "Mmmm... No."

"Morgana." She snapped her head to her left, and there stood a waving Svetlana. "Svetlana!? You're working with them!?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"What do you owe them?

"Nothing. It is a choice I made a few years ago. To side with the strongest werewolf to ever exist," Svetlana bragged. "It is not a good choice to be on the bad side of a Primordial."

"What? Him? He's not a Primordial!" Morgan said, pointing at me. I c****d a brow and then looked back at Svetlana, who doubled over in laughter. "What's so funny!?" Morgan screeched. I glanced over at J, who seemed to be looking around for something on the ground. When she finally stopped and bent over, I saw her pick something up. She had the biggest smile on her face, and she was staring at whatever was in the palm of her hand. She came and stood next to Svetlana with her hand held out in front of her. Svetlana stopped laughing and composed herself when she saw whatever it was that J was holding.

"Morgana, did I say I was talking about him? No. I mean her," Svetlana replied. As soon as she finished her sentence, she snapped her fingers, and Rylee appeared full size right next to J.

"NO!!!"

"Oh yes," Rylee said and pushed Morgan into the wall of the house with so much force that she went straight through it. Morgan crash-landed, and we heard something shatter. That's when we heard Ash scream in rage.

"NO!!! BUT HOW!!!" he cried. "We switched your memories! How could this happen!?" He came running out of the shack while holding onto the frame of the door. He was staring daggers at me, and then his eyes snapped towards Rylee, who was walking over to me. "I guess there's no use in lying anymore, Ash," she smirked. "You already know that I can run faster than any wolf, that my wolf is of a unique color, and that we can somehow speak at the same time. But what you don't know is that I have many, many more skills and powers that one couldn't even be able to comprehend. I'm not just a werewolf, Ash. No, I'm what's called a Primordial."

"A what!?" "Pri.mor.di.al."

"She's the most powerful werewolf to ever exist, Ash. And she's all mine," I told him and hugged her from behind before kissing her mark. I felt her body shudder with arousal and saw Ash's body tremble with anger.

"MORGAN!!!" Ash screamed, but there was no response.

"Oh, sorry, but Morgan is going to be out for a minute," Rylee taunted.

"Don't count on it, little girl." Morgan walked up behind Ash while huffing and puffing.

"Wake the others!" Ash commanded. Morgan started to chant something.

"STOP HER!" I shouted at Svetlana, but before she could, it was too late. Howls were sounding off all around us. "EVERYONE ON YOUR TOES!" Richard cautioned us. Half of the group shifted into their wolves and got into formation.

"Rylee will be MINE! I will kill you if it's the last thing I do!" he directed at me.

"Not if I kill you first!" Rylee shot back.

"No." She looked at me in shock and anger. "Rylee, Ash is mine."

"But!"

"Ash is my rival, not yours."

"Then let me kill the witch at least!"

"Sorry, Rylee, but she is mine," Svetlana said, clicking her teeth.

"What!?"

"Rylee, save your energy. Because when we're done here, you're going to need it to fight Eric." Her eyes widened at my words. I just nodded my head and gently put her behind me as Blade was getting ready to take over. "You want her? Then try and take her." Ash shifted into his wolf, and I shifted into Blade as we charged at each other. We collided in our wolf forms and started to claw at each other while trying to avoid getting bitten by the other. Svetlana was right; Ash had been weakened by the dark magic Morgan was using on him. I wondered if he knew about it, but then again, I didn't really care.

Kano tried to bite down on Blade's neck, but Blade maneuvered out of the way just in time and struck Kano across the face with his paw, cutting his eye and knocking him down. Blade took the opportunity to pounce on him and bite down, but Kano was able to avoid Blade biting into his jugular by just a hair. Kano spun in a circle, and the inertia of the spin made Blade lose his grip, and he flew off. He tumbled a few times, and when he got up, Kano landed on his back and bit down on his shoulder. Blade was bigger than Kano, not just in size but in muscles as well, so even though Kano bit down with intensity, he really only got a few layers of fur and skin. Enough to wound, but not kill.

Blade stood on his back paws and landed with such force onto his paws, flipping Kano over his head and making him land onto his back and hard. Kano whimpered and struggled to get up. When he did roll over and stood up, Blade was already in front of him and used his hind legs to kick him backward. That's when the eruption of snarls, growls, and howls sounded, and droves of wolves emerged from the trees. I couldn't tell if we evenly matched or outnumbered, but at this point, I didn't care because we had something that they didn't. We had Rylee.

Dearest?

Yeah?

I promise to never hold you back again. I know what you're capable of, and it scared me. I let fear and jealousy get the best of me and my judgment, and I hindered you from garnering your full potential. Wyatt? Did you just say you were jealous?

Yes, I was. I'm sorry I never admitted it or played it off as me being overprotective. But I promise to never stand in your way ever again. I know you know what you're doing. And from this moment forward, I trust that you will make the right decision when it comes to using your powers.

Oh, Wyatt. I'm sorry I made you feel that you couldn't be honest with me.

No, don't be sorry. It was my own fault. It's like my mom said, it's a guy thing. It's the 21st century, and I should know better than to be misogynistic during this day and age. A man's pride shouldn't be about his individual strength but the strength he's given when he has the right woman by his side. I know now that we're stronger together, regardless of who is stronger individually. But I also accept that it's you, and I will forever support you and your powers, Rylee. Wyatt.

Do your worst, baby. Show them who's boss.

With those final words, Rylee's eyes glowed silver, and she immediately turned and uprooted all of the trees around us, creating a massive barrier that kept out all of the rogue wolves.

"What!?" Morgan exclaimed in complete dismay. Kano got to his feet and looked around, shocked as well. Everyone could hear the rogues trying to break through the trees, but they were too tightly compressed together, making it almost impossible. I could have attacked Kano while he was distracted, but that would have been a p***y move, and I was anything but. Blade snarled at him getting his attention, and it was easy to see the anger radiating in waves off him. He was even more jealous, seeing exactly what he was missing out on.

We charged at each other again. This time when we collided, Blade was able to get a hold of his leg with his jaw and swung him around while clamping down as hard as he could. I could hear Kano's cries of anguish, and I could taste the iron of his blood in my mouth. Blade let go, and he went flying into the trunk of a tree. Blade stalked over to him to finish him, but just as he was about to stomp down on his throat, there was a sharp pain that hit us both. Blade looked over his shoulder, and there I saw a silver blade sticking out. How ironic.

Blade spun around to see Morgan in a position where she just had thrown it at us, and she was smirking. I could feel Blade's anger, but it was really intense. Almost as if it wasn't his.

Blade? Is that you that I'm feeling?

No.

If it's not you, then who is it?

Mate.

What?

Mate is very angry.

I looked over to where Rylee was, and when I saw what I was feeling, only two words came to mind.

Oh f**k.
