My Miracle Luna
Chapter 29

{Wyatt's

P.O.V.}

Dinner at the Nightingale pack was pretty uneventful and yet uncomfortable at the same time. The sheer number of unmated females in this pack was quite alarming, and Kendrick and I found ourselves being eye f****d by multiple females. Even though my mark is clearly visible, these women didn't know when to quit. Kendrick had it worse since he is technically an unmarked male. After dinner, Kendrick and I decided to go check out the pack territory to get an idea of how much bigger this packhouse was going to be. When I asked Alpha Rábano if the plan was to extend the property, he said no, and that he planned on demolishing the packhouse in its entirety and starting from scratch. Kendrick and I were shocked to hear this because that meant that all of the pack members would be disbursed for a few years. Personally, as an Alpha myself, I found that to reckless, but it wasn't my pack, so I had no right to say anything on the matter.

Though just from the astronomical number of unhappy faces at dinner, his pack was not happy about the fact they would technically be without a home or a pack for a few years while construction got underway.

"Damn, I mean, I get this guy's need for a bigger packhouse, but why not just build smaller homes in the process and let his pack stay within the territory?" Kendrick said.

"I

I agree with you, but it's not our place to pass judgment on how he runs his pack," I answer.

"I wonder how much damage the girls did on our bank accounts?" he asked quickly changing the subject. "I'm fairly certain my angel spent more than she was supposed to," he said with a smile.

"Rylee probably didn't spend too much, if she did, she was probably coerced into it by Milan," I reply. We wandered around the forest surrounding the packhouse and came upon a small river. "Hey, want to let our wolves for a run?" he asked.

"Sure," we found a boulder nearby and stripped out of our clothes and let Blade and Ajax take over. It was half-moon tonight, and the skies were clear. Our wolves ran around at full speed excited to be out, but I could already tell Blade was missing Kaleigh. Ever since Rylee shifted for the first time, all our late night runs have been with her. So, running with Ajax just wasn't the same, but Blade was still making the most of it.

While we were running, Ajax came to a sudden halt and crouched down. Blade looked out into the distance, there was a deer or an elk of some sort, Dude, we just had dinner.

It's not me, it's Ajax. You know he likes to hunt.

It's too close to civilization, we can't let humans see us. Reel him back in.

Fine

After Kendrick got Ajax's blood lust for prey under control, we headed back towards the river where left our clothes, only to find that our clothes had been taken. What the f**k!? Where are our clothes!? Kendrick exclaimed.

Dammit, someone must have stolen them as a prank, or just to be assholes.

f**k man! We can't go back b**t naked!

We don't have a choice.

We walked back to the packhouse as close as we could before shifting back and making a break for it. The last we needed was for unmated females to see us naked, but we already knew that the moment we stepped foot into the house, no matter how fast our wolf speed was, someone was going to see.

"s**t!" Kendrick exclaimed in a whisper,

"What?"

"My room key and my phone were in my pants,"

"f**k, mine was too," we both just looked at each other lost on what we needed to do. "You stay here Ken, let me see if I can get a guard to help us," "What?"

"I'm marked, you're not; we can't have females seeing your a*s naked,"

"Good point, have fun," I took a deep breath and walked up to one of the packhouse guards. He looked straight at me and lifted a brow in confusion.

"Good evening," I say to him naturally.

"Alpha Valencia, why are you naked?"

"Well, it appears that someone has stolen my clothes, along with that of my Beta's after we went for a run in wolf form. Our guest room keys and cell phones are in our pants, and we don't appreciate being pranked like this,"

"I apologize for the inconvenience Alpha, please, let me find Alpha Rábano to have this matter fixed,"

"Thank you," I waited outside while the guard went inside. I couldn't help but cover myself with my hands when I saw some females walking by. They snickered and giggled, and I ended up shifting back into wolf form. Kendrick came up next to me while I waited, and he too shifted back into Ajax.

We lied on the ground and waited together. A few minutes later, Alpha Rábano and the guard I spoke too came back out with some shorts for us. We shifted back and quickly slipped them on.

"Alpha Valencia, please accept my sincerest apologies for what has happened. It appears that some of the young males stole your clothing as a prank," Alpha Rábano said to me bowing his head.

"I don't find it funny stealing something that doesn't belong to them. The clothes can always be replaced, but our room keys and our personal cellular devices were in our pants, and we would like them back," I tell him sternly.

"Yes of course, please come inside so that we can find your belongings," he says and leads us back in. I'm already annoyed at the fact someone stole our clothes, but the last thing I need is someone trying to unlock my phone and going through my personal effects or potentially calling Rylee.

Luckily, there spare keys to our rooms, and I was able to get my laptop out to track mine and Kendrick's phones. They were definitely in the packhouse, and it appeared they were somewhere on the first floor. Alpha Rábano, Kendrick, and I followed the tracker and found that it wasn't a bunch of males that took our clothes but a bunch of females.

What disgusted me the most was they we found them taking provocative selfies with them.

"¿¡Qué crees que estás haciendo!?" (What do you think you are doing!?) Alpha Rábano shouted at them. They all gasped and stood to their feet.

"Alfa,"

"¿¡No tienes vergüenza!? ¿¡Cómo te atreves a robarle a un Alfa visitante!?" (Have you no shame!? How dare you steal from a visiting Alpha!?) All the girls lowered their heads while Kedrick and I grabbed our things. The first thing we both did was delete all of the photos that they took. Then, I made sure that they didn't' send any to anyone, and thankfully they didn't. But Kendrick wasn't so lucky.

"f**k! They sent some of these photos to Melody!" Kendrick growled and his eyes turned black with anger.

"Call her right now!" I tell him but as he was about to, his phone started to ring.

"Ah f**k!" I knew immediately that it was Melody. "Angel?... No, it's not what you think! I swear!... My phone was stolen by the girl who sent those photos!... I promise baby!... Ask your brother!" he said and gave me the phone. "Hello?

"Wyatt! What the f**k! Why did I get a semi-nude photo of another woman from Kendrick!?!"

"It's just as he said, our phones were stolen by a bunch of she-wolves as some kind of stupid prank,"

"You promise!?"

"I promise Dot, Kendrick has been with me the entire time we've been here. Look, I'll show you," I turned the phone call to video, and showed her the she-wolves that were in trouble. "See little sister,"

"Give the phone to the b***h that sent me this photo," I look at the photo, and pinpoint the she-wolf that did it and handed her the phone. "¡Escúchame puta repugnante! ¡Si siquiera miras a mi compañero, volaré hasta allí y te arrancaré el puto corazón! ¿¡ENTIENDES!?" (Listen to me you disgusting b***h! If you even look at my mate, I'll fly up there and rip your f*****g heart out! UNDERSTAND!?)

"Si entiendo. Lo siento," (Yes, I understand. I'm sorry,) she replied to my sister and gave me back the phone.

"Dot, don't you worry your pretty little head. Ken's being good, I promise,"

"Okay," she smiled. "Give him back the phone," I handed the phone to him.

"Angel, I love you so much. I would never do anything to hurt you, you know that,"

"I do, and I trust you. But I don't trust those sluts,"

"You don't need to worry about them, baby, I just need you to trust me,"

"I love you, babe,"

"I will you see soon, love you,"

"Bye," Kendrick hung up and let out a deep sigh.

"Alpha Rábano," I address him and he looks at me with an apologetic expression. "Need I remind you that my Beta's mate is also my little sister. I will not tolerate pranks such as what just occurred to happen again. I don't care if this your pack. What they did could have jeopardized my Beta's bond with my sister,"

"I understand Alpha Valencia, and I sincerely apologize,"

"This is your one and only warning. Keep your pack members in line, or I won't hesitate to pull out of this project," he looked at me in shock. Although it would a loss of money for my company, he knows that finding a company such as mine for such a pristine project is far and few in between. Let alone one that was run by a werewolf.

I don't even let him answer as I turn my heel and go back to my room, along with Kendrick. As we're walking away, I can hear Alpha Rábano screaming at the females that almost cost him the renovation to the packhouse.

"Hey, I didn't know Dot could speak Spanish fluently," Kendrick said as we made our way up to our rooms.

"Our last name is Valencia, our ancestors are from Spain, so she took it upon herself to learn it,"

"Why don't you speak it?"

"I speak a little, but I understand it more,"

"What did Melody say to those she-wolves?"

"She threatened to rip their hearts out if they even so much as looked at you," I answer. He throws his head back and laughs.

"Damn, my angel is not one to be messed with,"

"No she's not, and I would take what happened just now a lesson to put a passcode on your phone,"

"There is a passcode on my phone!"

"It can't be 0000 you dumbfuck!" I smack him upside the head.

"It's not!"

"Or 1234,"

"Ah f**k," I just shook my head.

"Go to bed," I tell him and head into my room. I put my laptop away, and double-checked my phone to make sure I didn't miss any of the photos those she-wolves took. I also double-check that any messages that they could have sent or emails. Luckily, my phone was clean. I let out a deep sigh and went into the bathroom to shower before going to bed.

I honestly wanted to cut this trip short, and just get the deal over with and go home, but I had one more piece of business that I needed to deal with.

The next morning, Kenrick and I were up early and get our morning workout in. We both played it safe and kept our phones in our rooms and locked the doors. We made sure to keep our key tied into the lace of our shorts, so we didn't lose them. Instead of doing ten miles outside, we decided to use the packhouse gym and ran on the treadmills.

"Have you talked to Rylee?" Kendrick asked me in the middle of our run.

"I talked to her yesterday before dinner,"

"Is she freaking out without you being there?"

"She seems to be handling herself okay. She had a whining moment, but that was cut short because of Milan,"

"What's it like having such a huge age gap?"

"Honestly, I love it. Rylee is pretty mature for her age, but when she has her not so mature moments, it's cute as f**k, and it helps that she's a whole f*****g foot shorter than I am,"

"I don't remember Aunt Meg being that small,"

"Aunt Meg was my mom's height if I remember correctly, at least 5'7 or 5'8. I think my girl is small because of malnutrition growing up. Her most important years were spent in slavery, and she didn't get to eat regularly, so I'm assuming that may have stunted her growth," I tell him. "Besides my sister is small too,"

"Yeah, but Melody is like 5'6, she's small compared to us, but she's taller than Rylee," there a moment of silence between us during the run, but then he had to open his big mouth. "So, what's s*x like with her being so small?" I immediately jumped off the treadmill and tackled him to the ground.

"DON'T YOU EVER ASK ABOUT MY s*x LIFE WITH RYLEE!" I roared in his face. I loved Kenrick like a brother, but sometimes he never knew when to stop being so f*****g nosy.

"Okay, f**k, my bad," I got off of him and went back to my run. He got up off the floor and finished as well. After our run, we had breakfast sent up to our rooms so I could prepare for the meeting. I looked at the time and saw that it was roughly three in the morning back home. Took late, or too late to try and call Rylee. So, I decided to send her a text message,

Hello beautiful. I know you're asleep right now, but I just wanted to let you know I miss you. I will be busy for the majority of the day, but hopefully, we can video chat before I go to bed tonight. I love you, dearest.

I put the phone down and pulled out the files to get ready for the meeting, but to my surprise, I received a response.

I love and miss you too Wyatt.

I couldn't help the smile that formed across my face when I saw her reply. Though I was surprised she responded, but if I know her as well as I think I do, she probably wasn't sleeping well without me there. I quickly sent her a reply.

Me: Try to sleep, baby. I know it's hard without me there, but the quicker you sleep, the quicker time will go by. We will be together soon.

My Dearest: I will try. I love you so much, Wyatt. I hate that you're away.

Me: I know dearest. But I promise time will go by faster if you don't think about it. Goodnight baby.

My Dearest: Goodnight Prince Charming.

I threw my phone to the side and started to get the files and documents ready for the meeting. If this meeting goes smoothly, and one of the property designs is approved, I would be able to spend more time with Rylee at home and take her on vacation. Possibly even plan for a pup. Thinking about having a family with Rylee immediately resulted in a smile on my face.

After showering, getting dressed, and refining last-minute preparations, Kendrick and I went down to the meeting hall where we were met by Alpha Rábano, the pack attorney Eduardo Cabello, Beta Javier Esposito, and the construction company that will be handling the actual building of the new packhouse.

"Alpha Valencia, it is a pleasure to finally meet you," Eduardo said shaking my hand.

"Pleasure to meet you too," I replied. "This is my Beta Kendrick," and he moved to shake his hand as well.

"Gentlemen let us get started," Alpha Rábano said. We all took our seats, and the meeting got underway.

"Alpha Valencia, I honestly have to admit, I didn't think I would find any designs that would interest me, but this one has really caught my attention," Alpha Rábano said to me while holding up the last design that I had submitted. I was actually relieved because it was submitted by one of the newer employees on my design team, but I felt it was unique and original. "Alpha, if you are happy with this design, shall we proceed with signing the contract?" Eduardo asked Rábano.

"Before we do, I need an estimate on how long construction would take," he asked the construction team. I watched as they scanned the design and all the details that Rábano wanted.

"Alpha Rábano, en base al diseño, y los detalles que desee, le llevará al menos un mínimo de dos años y medio," (Alpha Rábano, based on the design, and the details that you want, it will take at least a minimum two and a half years,)

"Perfecto, let us sign!" I pulled out the contract and handed it over to Eduardo. He read it over in great detail before nodding his head and had Alpha Rábano sign it. I tore off the copy that I keep, one for the construction team, and one for Eduardo to keep. We all shook hands and adjourned the meeting.

"Alpha Rábano, it has been a pleasure doing business with you," I say and shake his hand.

"The pleasure is all mine Alpha Valencia. Will you be joining us for dinner?"

"Yes, we will. I just need to get my things situated and then I will be right down," he nodded his head and we all went our separate ways.

"Well, that worked out better than I thought," Kendrick said.

"It did, now we just got to get through dinner here, and then tomorrow, we're leaving,"

"Why so soon?"

"There's something I need to do in Vatican City,"

"Which would be?"

"Research on Rylee,"

"What?"

"There's so much more to her than we know or realize, and I need to be sure I know everything there is to her if I'm going to protect her,"

"Well, if it means protecting the Luna, then let's get to studying,"

I needed to know everything there is to her, and there was only one place I knew of that would hold the information I needed.
