My Miracle Luna
Chapter 25

{Keaton's

P.O.V.}

I snuck back into the castle when I smelled something really delicious. It was strange because it was almost nine at night, and I knew for a fact that Mr. and Mrs. Williams never cooked this late. I made my way into the kitchen and saw the Luna, packing up a bunch of food.

"Luna?"

"Oh, hi, Keaton,"

"What are you doing?"

"Melody went into heat, and your brother came down earlier and there was no food for them. If there's one thing I know is that both male and female wolves require a lot of food during this time, so I figured I would make some easy meals for them to enjoy for the next few days," "Wow, why didn't Mr. and Mrs. Williams do it?"

"Well, they did, but I think other pack members ate all the leftovers before your brother came down, so I'm making sure no one eats these. Red containers are for Kendrick and Mel, and the white containers are open for anyone. First come first serve," "In that case, I missed dinner, may I have one?"

"Sure," she said and passed me a container. The food inside was still warm, so I didn't need to heat it up. I opened it up and found lasagna.

"Whoa, you made this?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No, not at all, it's just other than Mr. and Mrs. Williams, no one knows how to make lasagna...oh my god, this is so f*****g good!" I stopped missed sentenced after I took a bite making the Luna giggle.

"Well, I'm glad you like it. Do you want something to drink?"

"Coke please," she went into the cupboard, grabbed a glass, filled with ice, and opened a can for me. "Thank you, Luna,"

"Please, will you just call me Rylee?"

"Sorry, it's a force of habit," I replied and inhaled the rest of the lasagna. As much I loved Mr. and Mrs. Williams' cooking, the Luna sure knew how to do cook.

"So, where were you? I didn't see you at dinner,"

"Oh, I was just out with a friend,"

"You're lying," she immediately said. I stopped mid-bite and looked at her. She was lifting a brow at me.

"Um..."

"If you don't want to say it out loud, then say it in your thoughts, you already know I have powers,"

I kind of hate this, but then again, I feel like this will stay between us.

"Yes, it will,"

Rylee, I found my mate.

"Oh no,"

I didn't reject her if that's what you're thinking. I found her on her eighteenth birthday, and I've been sneaking away to spend time with her. I'm already madly in love with her, and she knows of my situation with Terrine. "And she's okay with it?"

Hello no, she's not okay with it. But she's willing to wait until I find a way out of it. I get it, I made a mistake, and now I have a pup on the way, but I shouldn't have to be forced to give up the love my life for some lying manipulative b***h.

"I get it, and I understand," she smiled and sent me a mind link saying she would keep my secret and that would help me lie to Terrine. I finished the lasagna and coke, and Rylee cleaned up my plate for me. While she was cleaning up the kitchen and doing the dishes, the devil came in,

"KEATON!!!" her sudden outburst made Rylee jump out of her skin and drop the glass, making it shatter all over.

“f*****g hell, Terrine, look what you did!" I shouted at her. I ran over to the Luna to make sure she was okay. "GET AWAY FROM HER!"

"f**k off! I'm just trying to help her!"

"Keaton, it's fine, I can clean this up. You go to bed. Watch your step, glass can fly everywhere,"

"Rylee are you sure?"

"Yes, go," she insisted so I did. I grabbed Terrine by the arm and dragged her out of the kitchen.

"You're hurting me!" she yelled.

"Too bad!" I replied back and dragged her back to her room on the second floor. I shoved her onto the bed. "What the f**k is wrong you!?"

"ME!? YOU'RE THE ONE FLIRTING WITH THE LUNA!"

"I wasn't flirting! She gave me something to eat because I missed dinner! We were just talking! Why the f**k would I flirt with a mated wolf!? Let alone the Luna!? Do you f*****g hear yourself when you talk!?"

"I'm warning you, Keaton, I will not hesitate to put every b***h in this pack in their place if they come near you, I don't care who they are!"

"Well then, have fun getting banished for breaking pack laws!"

"They can't banish me! I'm pregnant!"

"Then you better brush up on your pack laws. Wyatt may not want to banish you while you're pregnant, but it doesn't mean that he can't! But he will if you do anything to the Luna!" "And you would actually let him!? I'm pregnant with your pup!"

"Let him? Wyatt is the Alpha! Rylee is the Luna! I have no say in what decisions he makes. If you do anything to any pack member, let alone the Luna, then you deserve to be banished!" "And what about your pup!"

"Then so be it," I stated without any remorse and left her room slamming the door behind me. Terrine was getting on my last nerve. Just two and a half more months until the pup is born, and then I will get the paternity test done. I get the feeling that Milan and Irene are right. Something about this pregnancy wasn't right. The one time I touched her belly to feel the pup, I felt nothing. No loving father moment, no sparks, no butterflies, nothing. My dad always said that when my mom was pregnant with me and my brother, he would feel butterflies and different kinds of sparks every time either of us kicked or shuffled around.

At first, I thought it was because he loved our mom, and she was his mate, but he said that regardless of that, the pup and their parents have their own special bond that should be felt while the pup is in the womb, but I didn't feel any of that. It felt empty, and that's when I knew that Terrine may be lying about the pup. Either the pregnancy is all a sham, or that pup isn't mine. And I would soon find out.

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, I put away all of the packaged food and made sure to label everything. After I put everything away and double checked everything was turned off and tidy, I went up to Wyatt's office. He had been working on stuff for company and packhouse. Going up the stairs now has been getting a lot easier, and I'm no longer winded, but my legs still burned.

"Babe?" I said while knocking on the door.

"Hey, come on in,"

"Are you busy?"

"For you? Never," I closed the door behind and skipped over to him.

"Why do you smell like Italian?"

"Oh, I made a bunch of food for Kendrick and Melody,"

"Why would you do that? And this late at night?"

"Oh, a few hours ago, Kendrick came down to get food but there was nothing in the fridge, so I made him some sandwiches to sustain them for now, but I figured that I would make actual food for them and put them in plastic Tupperware," I explained and then he just looked at me. "What?"

"You're perfect, do you know that?" I pressed my lips together and blushed. "You're so cute when you get flustered," that statement alone made me go even redder. "Rylee, why do you blush whenever I compliment you?"

"Because I'm still getting used to it. Wyatt, you're the only person other than my parents that ever said I'm beautiful, perfect, cute, or any of that stuff. It's foreign to me,"

"Well then, I guess I'm just going to have to keep doing it until you get used to it. Then when you do, I'll do it even more," he said and then kissed me. I raised my brows and pulled him into a deeper kiss and gave him images of s*x. "Mmm...baby, I still have a lot of work to do,"

"Too bad, I want s*x, and I want it now,"

"Rylee," I wouldn't' let him finish talking as I kept kissing his lips. "Baby,"

"f**k me, Wyatt," he grunted and growled, and picked me up placing me on this desk. I wrapped my legs around his hips and took off his shirt. He moved his kisses my jaw and then to my neck where he then licked and sucked on my mark. I moaned in approval, and he kept doing it. "Ah, Wyatt, yes,"

"f**k, I love you," he said as he took my shirt off as well. He cupped one of my breasts as I grabbed his face with both hands and kept kissing him. I played images of what I wanted, and were just about to get there when his office door swung open, "Wyatt, what are ...Oh s**t!" Jason exclaimed. "My bad!" Wyatt growled and stopped everything he was doing. He gave me back my shirt, and I put it back on. "Dearest, you didn't lock the door?"

"Like I knew someone would barge in without knocking," I said and hopped off his desk.

"What do you want Jason?"

"I wanted to see if you wanted to play a round of Halo before you called it a night,"

"I can't, I have a lot of plans to go through for the company and some pack stuff I need to work through,"

"Really? Because it looked like you and the Luna were about to make some pups,"

"We were, until your a*s interrupted," I snapped. I turned back to Wyatt and gave him a kiss. I quickly projected a naughty image to him and ran out of the office.

"RYLEE!!" he yelled after me and I just giggled going back to our room. I figured that he would be working late, so I decided to take another bath and played with the water using my powers. I was able to keep the whirlpool up in the air a little longer this time. This was getting easier the more I did it. I found that focusing on my love for Wyatt and the fear of losing him was the best way to channel it.

After soaking in the tub until the water got cold, I rinsed off and then went into the closet to change into one of Wyatt's shirts and lace underwear. I climbed in bed, and decided to watch some T.V. I found a show called Charmed and watched it when intense focus. A show about witches who gain their powers suddenly and have to learn to control them. This show intrigued me immensely, and I found myself watching back to back episodes. I wasn't even sure how long I was watching until Wyatt came in, "Rylee? Why are you still awake?"

"Huh?" I didn't even look at him.

"Rylee," he took the remote from me and turned off the T.V.

"HEY! It was just getting good!" I shouted and tried to get the remote back.

"Dearest, do you have any idea what time it is?" I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost three in the morning.

"Oops," he scoffed and laughed at me.

"Rylee, I don't mind you watching T.V. but don't lose sleep because of it,"

"Sorry," I hugged his waist. He bent down and gave me a kiss. "Why are you coming in so late?"

"I had a conference call with a client in Spain,"

"Spain?"

"Yeah, my company doesn't just do work in the U.S. baby, we have contracts in other countries too,"

"Oh wow, that's awesome,"

"Speaking of, I actually need to go to Spain,"

"When?"

"In two weeks,"

"How long will you be gone?"

"Just over a week," I pouted. Thinking about Wyatt being gone for a week kind of hurt. "Hey, I know it sucks, but this is a big contract, and I can't afford to not go," I pouted some more and nodded my head.

"I can't go with you, can I?"

"I'm sorry dearest, you can't," I pouted again. "But, when I get back, we will set aside some for each other and have a small vacation, how does that sound?" I made a thinking face and then smiled.

"Yeah, I can do that," he gave me a kiss and then went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I scooted over to make sure he had room and snuggled my face into the pillows. I felt the bed dip, and Wyatt's arm came around me pulling me close to his chest. He and I both fell asleep in no time.

{Melody's P.O.V.}

Going into heat the way that I did really sucked, but finally getting to mate with Kendrick was the best thing ever. Kendrick was blessed, very, very blessed, but then again, most healthy werewolves are. I was so grateful to Rylee when Kendrick informed me about all the food she had prepared for us. She was definitely working her magic as Luna, no pun intended.

Once my heat was finally over, Kendrick was actually the last person I wanted to see. Don't get me wrong, s*x was great, but after four days of nothing but Kendrick, and his wonder stick, s*x, and his naked body were the last things on my mind. I mind linked Milan, Hey girl!

Oh, look who finally finished.

Yeah, yeah. Where are you guys?

Rylee and I are in the recreation room playing some pool.

Okay, I will be right down.

I skipped down the stairs and made my way to the recreation room. When I got there, Rylee and Milan were playing pool, and it looked like Rylee was winning. Jason and Kendrick were playing some video games, but my brother wasn't around.

"Hey, where's Wyatt?" I asked.

"He had to go to the office to get some stuff done for his trip to Spain," Rylee said.

"Wyatt's going to Spain?"

"Yeah, he said that there's a business client that he needs to deal with,"

"Oh, well that's not surprising, but he rarely ever travels directly," I replied.

"He said something about it being a big contract that he has to personally deal with it," Rylee said unsure. I just shrugged a shoulder.

"I take on winner,"

"Well, then you're taking on Rylee because she's beating me,"

"That's insane, someone is finally beating you Milan,"

"Yeah, yeah, shut up," we all started to giggle while Jason and Kendrick started to holler. Whatever game they were playing has them seriously riled up. I grabbed a cue stick and got the balls set for a new game. "Rylee, have you been taught how to play 9-ball?"

"That's what we're playing, Mel," Milan replied.

"Oh...Dammit,"

"Yeah, if you were hoping to beat her in a new game it wouldn't work. She was beating Jason on her first try with 8-ball,"

"What? That's crazy,"

"Yeah, honestly, at first we thought she was cheating, you know, using her powers, but she didn't have them back then," Milan said, and I looked over at Rylee who just smiled innocently and shrugged her shoulder. "Whatever, let's get this game started,"

"I give up! There's just no winning!" I shouted as I threw the cue stick on the pool table. Rylee beat four games in a row, and it was honestly not even fun at this point. This girl was a natural at pool. "I'm sorry," Rylee frowned.

"Don't be sad, Rylee, Melody is just a sore loser," Milan said.

"I am not," Milan, Jason, and even Kendrick just gave me a look. "Oh, alright, then fine! I am a sore loser," Kendrick came up behind me and kissed my temple. "Ugh, I'm still not ready for you," I said and pushed him away. Milan and Jason just laughed while Rylee gave us a confused look. "You'll know after you have your heat,"

"Oh okay,"

"Alright, well since the boys are done with their game, and Mel and I are sick of losing in pool to the kid," Rylee glared at Milan for calling her a kid. "How about we head outside and let our wolves out for a run,"

"YES!" I exclaimed. "I'm sure Tundra could use some exercise after being cooped up for four days," we cleaned up the recreation room and put everything away, and headed out. Kendrick still didn't understand the part of no touching, but I let him put his arm around me anyway. As we were heading through the foyer towards the backdoor, we ran into Keaton,

"Hey, where are you guys going?" he asked us.

"We're going to let our wolves out. Do you want to come?" Rylee answered.

"Yeah, if that's okay with you guys,"

"Come on little brother, I'm sure Chase could use the fresh air," Kendrick said.

"KEATON!!" came an annoying screech from upstairs.

"Ah f**k," Keaton groaned.

"You guys go on ahead, we will catch up to you," I told the others while referring to Kendrick, Keaton, and myself.

"Where do you think you're going!?" Terrine asked with the most demanding tone I had ever heard.

"He was going..."

"I wasn't talking to you!" she snapped at me cutting me off when I was trying to answer.

"Excuse me!" I said and got in her face. "I know you didn't you just cut me off and use that tone with me! Has your pregnancy killed your brain!? I'm an Alpha's daughter and female Beta! I don't care if you're pregnant Terrine! I won't hesitate to use my Alpha authority on you!" she immediately cowered and hung her head. If she were in wolf form, her tail would curl underneath her, and her ears would be pressed against her head, fully submitting. "Angel, calm down," Kendrick said pulling me away from her.

"Keaton is going on a run with us because we asked him to, and he so kindly accepted. Now, if you're done being a little b***h, we'll be going now!" I turned around grabbing both Kendrick's and Keaton's arms leading them outback.

"Damn," Kendrick said when we made into the clearing.

"What?"

"That was sexy as f**k," he replied making me chuckle.

"Thank you, Melody," Keaton said.

"Please, no thanks required. You're family Keaton, and she's not. She's just a b***h who is using her pregnancy to get what she wants, and unfortunately, that kind of s**t doesn't work on me, so I have no issues putting her in her place," I said and crossed my arms. Both of them smirked and at that moment, they looked like twins. "Hey, quick question for you Keaton,"

"What's up?"

"When you first met Terrine, what did she smell like?"

"Um, like pine trees or pinecones, why?"

"Nothing, I just was just curious," I replied.

"Alright, enough about her, let's shift and catch up to the others," Kendrick said. I went off behind a tall hedge and shifted first. Feeling the cool mountain air around Tundra's fur made her purr and shake loose. Ajax came up to her and nuzzled his snout into her neck. She gave him a small lick, and then Chase came up next to us.

Kendrick let out a howl to see where everyone else was, and when we heard the reply, we all took off to go meet them. It take didn't long to spot because of Kaleigh being a pink wolf and all. Once we caught up with them, we all ran around through the trees, jumping over logs, and bumping one another. I never realized how small Kaleigh really is, but her pink coloring is really cute. She's like a little fairy almost.

As we were running through the wooded areas along the mountainside, Kaleigh came to a skidded stop making all of us tumble over her.

OW! I whined.

Rylee what the hell!? Milan shouted.

Why did you stop like that? Jason asked. I looked up at her, and her eyes were glowing.

ROGUES! She shouted through our link.

I don't smell anything. Kendrick said.

Trust me!

The next thing we knew, there were several growls coming in our direction. We all huddled around Rylee to protect her since she didn't know how to fight. The growls were getting louder, then the stench of sewage made itself known. Just then, a dozen rogues came into view, and they were feral. Very, feral. Rylee, whatever you do, stay in the circle! Kendrick said to her.

The rogues didn't wait, they lunged for us. Tundra was fast and was able to grab one before it could even get to us. She bit down on this shoulder, drawing blood, and making it howl in pain. It was weak but still strong enough to fight. It shook us off and flipped us over. It tried to stomp on us, but Tundra rolled out of the way, and lunged at it, landing on top of it's back. Being smaller than a male wolf comes in handy. Tundra bit down on his spinal cord and gave it a hard shake, killing the rogue.

HELP!!! I heard Rylee's voice. I looked over and saw two rogues were stalking her. Snarling and growling. Tundra roared and we charged at them before they could make a move. I rammed one, and kicked the other with my hind legs, and did my best to keep Rylee protected. Just then, I could hear the sound of bones popping out of place, and I saw in my peripheral vision Rylee had shifted back.

I watched as her eyes glowed, as she started to use her powers. She some how lifted one of the rogues in the air and snapped its neck. After she did, she fell to her knees and looked drained. I stepped back in front of her realizing that using her powers like that must have drained a lot of her energy. Two more rogues came up to me, and the others were still fighting theirs. I must have had the weakest because I could that these two in front of me of now were big, almost abnormally so.

Tundra gave them a warning growl but it didn't do s**t. These two weren't going to back down, and I knew I was in trouble. Just as they were about to pounce, they were rammed from the side by a large black wolf, and I knew instantly it was my brother. Several other wolves growled and howled, and I realized the pack warriors were coming to help. The rogues were disposed of quickly after that.

I shifted back and turned my attention to Rylee, who was now passed out on the ground.

"Rylee?" I kneeled down next to her. She was still breathing but she was out.

"What happened?!" my brother shouted coming to us in human form. He handed me a t-shirt from one of the trees that we keep for situations like this. I quickly put it on.

"I think she used too much energy killing one of the rogues," I tell him.

"What did she do?"

"She raised it in the air and snapped its neck,"

"f**k, I never wanted her to have to use her powers to kill anyone,"

"Well, if she hadn't, she and I would have both been f****d," as he was lifting her in his arms, everyone else came to us.

"Angel, are you okay?" Kendrick asked while hugging me.

"I'm fine, babe,"

"How the f**k were there rogues within the territory!?" my brother shouted.

"We don't know, this is a first for us too, man," Jason replied.

"Everyone, get back to the castle," he said to us. "Angelo, you and the others burn the bodies,"

"YES, ALPHA!"

The rest of us walked backed to the castle, while Wyatt carried Rylee. Something didn't seem right. Jason had a point when he said that this had never happened before. It was almost impossible for rogues to get into the territory, and the fact that Rylee could sense them before we could was astonishing.

This attack was too random to be random and I think everyone was thinking the same thing. This was going to have all of us on edge.
