My Miracle Luna
Chapter 34

{Lorenzo's P.O.V.}

One month later

"That's it! Keep going!" I shout at Rylee. Over the last month, her power of telepathy has grown much stronger. She is now able to throw things using her mind and but we are still working on power. Her speed and agility when in wolf form is quite impressive and her power of mind-reading is now completely under control.

Currently, we are working powers of controlling earth's elements congruent with her telepathy. We are on a boat in the middle of the lake, which has not fully frozen over and Rylee is creating a whirlpool within the lake about twenty feet in front of us. The young Luna is quite a fast learner, but as I suspected, her emotions are not in control. A week after we first started to train, Rylee lost control of her anger when she got frustrated with being able to throw snowballs and ended up sending a massive mind link to her pack that made several people pass out.

Of course, this only proved that she was more powerful than anyone realized, and some of the pack members have even begun to fear her instead of respecting her. The Alpha had a lot of damage control to do, but it appears all of the ranked members have no issues with her and are very supportive. This is good because she needs all of the support she can get.

The whirlpool was looking nice, and she was keeping it steady, for a few minutes before I gave her the okay to let it die down and go back to being part of the calm lake.

"Whoa, that was the biggest whirlpool I ever created," she said with a happy tone.

"That was impressive, Luna, but you have to remember, that your emotions are tied to your powers. Being very happy or too excited may backfire. Always keep a calm demeanor when using your powers, and never let your emotions drive how you react," "Yes, Lorenzo, I understand,"

"Very good, we are done for today," I went to start to the boat, but figured I could add one more course to her training. "Luna, I know that you are exhausted, but how about one more course?" "Sure,"

"Get us back to the dock, without making us crash," she stared me a minute and looked at the lake before us. We were a good hundred feet from the dock by the castle, and I watched as she contemplated her solution. I saw her go the back of the boat and gently started to move the propellers with her telepathy and steer the boat at the same time. She was calm and collect, and she made sure not to go too fast. I was proud of what she accomplished in just a month.

She got us about ten feet from the dock and released her control on the propellers and concentrated on steering and stopping the boat without us crashing.

"Very good, Luna. That was absolutely perfect. With time, we will work on speed and stopping at a sudden notice," she smiled and nodded at me. We both disembarked and I was working on tying the boat back into place when suddenly a guard came running towards us.

"LUNA! MR. ROSSI! WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY ROGUES!" Rylee and I looked at each other and as if were thinking the same thing, or perhaps she read my thoughts, we both shifted into our wolves, and we followed the guard to where the fight was taking place. I was in shock, there were at least three dozen rogues, and they were massive. I had never seen rogues this large before. I charged into the fight and used my powers to stop four rogues from attacking one of the palace guards. I lifted all of them into the air and suffocated all of them by crushing their larynx. When they all died, I shifted back and helped the young warrior to his feet and got him to safety.

When I came back, I found the Luna and Alpha fighting side by side. Rylee was in human form and she was using her powers to keep the rogues in place while Alpha killed them. Well, that's what I call teamwork. I think to myself. My thoughts were interrupted when two rogues jumped me from the left and the right. Although one of them got a clean bite into my shoulder, being immortal had its perks, and the power of rapid healing was even better. I used my agility to confuse the two rogues and snapped both of their necks before they knew what hit them.

After what seemed like hours of fighting, only a handful of rogues remained, and they retreated realizing they were not going to win. I shifted back to my human form and was handed a pair of shorts from another palace guard. I made my way to the Alpha and Luna. Rylee was back in wolf form, probably to hide her nudity in front of others while the Alpha was in human form inspecting her body for any injuries.

"Alpha, how is she?"

"She appears to be fine, though, she says that she is a little exhausted,"

"Yes, I assume she would be. We had just finished training when we were called to battle," he just nods at me and inspects her once more to be certain. She nuzzles against him. An act of assurance that she is perfectly fine. A guard comes with a robe for her, the Alpha holds is up while she shifts back and puts it on.

"Lorenzo, are you alright?" she asks me

"I am fine Luna, I am immortal, remember?"

"Oh that's right, I keep forgetting," I smile at her innocence.

"Alpha, tell me, are rogues in America normally that large?"

"No, Lorenzo, they're not. This is the second time in two months that we've been attacked within our walls by these enlarged rogues," I was about to reply to him when a guard shouted.

"Alpha! We have a survivor!" we look in their direction and see them hog tying one of the rogues who was still breathing.

"BRING HIM TO THE CELLAR!" the Alpha commanded. I smirked seeing his Alpha aura. Strong and powerful. I thought to myself as I followed him and the guards.

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

As the guards took the captured rogue down to the cellar, I rushed Rylee upstairs. When we got to our room, I removed her robe and double-checked her.

"Wyatt, I'm perfectly fine," she said to me while touching my arms.

"Rylee, I saw you get bitten,"

"I did, but I think my power of rapid healing is why there are no marks on me," she replied. I let out a sigh and finally relaxed. "Babe, you're injured," she said to me and saw the claw mark on my back. "I'm okay dearest, it will heal in a few hours,"

"I wish I could give you my power of healing, I don't like seeing you injured,"

"Hey, I will gladly take an injury if it means this beautiful body of yours stays in one piece,"

"I wonder..." she started to say and turned me around. I felt her lick the wound.

"Dearest, what are you doing?"

"I thought licking it would help it heal faster,"

"Baby," I turn to face her. "I appreciate the gesture, but it doesn't work the same as sealing a mark," she nodded and frowned. I couldn't help but love her even more. It was the small things that she did that made my heart flutter.

"Come on, let's shower and I will patch these up for you," she said sweetly, and I nodded. After our shower, Rylee put on some antibiotics on the wounds and patched me up to keep it covered until it scabbed over which would only take about an hour.

I laid Rylee down for a nap. Although she exerted a lot of energy using her powers to help me kill the rogues, she didn't pass out like she did the first time, but I could tell that she was still exhausted. I kiss her forehead while she immediately fell asleep. I sent a mind link to everyone and had one of them grab Lorenzo and told them to meet me in my office.

"This is the second f*****g time that rogues have entered these walls, and this time, there were over thirty of them!" I shouted and slammed my fist on the desk. "Jason did your dad figure out how they got in!?"

"Yeah, my dad said that the laser tripwires malfunctioned. Someone tampered with them from the inside,"

"WHAT!?!? Are you telling me that we have a traitor within our pack!?"

"It seems that way brother, but they left no evidence," he replied. I was shaking. Someone betrayed this pack, and I was going to make it my mission to figure out who they are. I may have to get Rylee to use her power of mind-reading to help. "Wyatt, where's Rylee?" Milan asked.

"She's sleeping. Her body is exhausted,"

"How did she leave without a scratch on her? I could have sworn I saw her get bit," Kendrick said.

"She did, it's the ability of rapid healing. She healed almost instantly," I replied.

"Damn, lucky b***h," Milan muttered.

"It's an ability that Primordials have," Lorenzo stated. "As all werewolves, we have the power of speed, rapid healing, and a heightened sense of smell and hearing; however, our Primordial gene pool heightens those abilities to almost five times the magnitude," "Wouldn't that make all Primordials immortal then?" Kendrick asked.

"No, the power of immortality is different. The Luna cannot be injured, nor will she be weakened by silver or wolfsbane; however, she can still be killed. I, on the other hand, cannot be killed. Weapons cannot pierce my skin. I even tested my immortality back in the 1700s with a guillotine, the blade shattered when it hit," we all looked at him like he was insane, but then again, none of us had ever met an immortal werewolf before. "I can see your heads pondering questions; however, we need to move on. I need to know why these rogues were so massive,"

"I wish I can tell you, Lorenzo, this is only the second time we've seen them, and even we have no idea where they come from or how they're so big," I answer.

"Well, we can always ask," Jason said. I smirked remembering we have one in custody now. I dismiss the girls, and the guys come with me down to the cellar. When we arrive, I'm surprised to see Angelo and Owen standing guard.

"I figured you two would be down there torturing him," I say to them.

"We figured we would leave that you, Alpha," Angelo replied with a head bow.

"Angelo, I hear that congratulations are in order for you as well,"

"Thank you, Alpha, Michelle and I are excited for our little bundle of joy. She and the Beta are ecstatic and call themselves pregnancy buddies," I couldn't help but laugh. Hearing that my sister was pregnant two weeks ago was the best news the castle had received after Rylee becoming Luna. The first ranked pup to be conceived. Though many still wonder why Jason and Milan have no pups, it's because Milan isn't ready to give up being a warrior.

Milan has been a fighter all her life, and she has always been good at it. Having a pup would mean she would have to succumb to motherhood for at least a year, and she just isn't ready for that yet.

"Open the door," I commanded.

"Yes, Alpha," Angelo and Owen bring out their key cards and insert them at the same time. This is the only way to open the doors to cellars from the outside. Inside, only required a retina scan from a high-level warrior like Angelo, Owen, Hugo, and Maddox, our four head trainers, and a ranked male. Not to be chauvinistic, but the girls were not allowed in the cellars without their male counterparts. It was for their protection.

As we all descended down the stairs, Angelo accompanied us to stand watch at the bottom of the stairs, while the rest of us went to speak with the rogue that appeared to be on steroids. I half expected to find a passed out wolf, but instead, I found that the wolf shifted back to its human form, only to see the body of a young boy.

"What the f**k?" Jason said, seeing the boy chained in the cell. "He looks to be 18 or 19 years old,"

"Is he alive?" Kendrick asked.

"Yes," Lorenzo answered. "I can hear his heartbeat,"

"How the hell can a kid of his size turn into the rogue we fought not even an hour ago?" I asked. They all shrugged their shoulders, even Lorenzo was at a loss for words. "Wake him up," Kendrick and Jason opened the cell and splashed cold water on him making him stir," "Wh...Wha...What? Where am I!?" the kid freaked out. He studied his surroundings and then saw us. "Who are you!? Where am I!?"

"Silence," I commanded in my Alpha voice, and but he didn't really submit. He just shut up. "What's your name?"

"Victor,"

"Why did you attack my pack?"

"What? Pack? What the hell are you talking about!? What the f**k is a pack!? And why is your voice different from just a second ago!?" I looked at the others and they were just as confused as I was.

"Victor, what is the last thing you remember?"

"Ummm... I was at the movies with my girlfriend, and when we came out, we were mugged and...Oh god...Gina! Please, don't hurt Gina! She's only 17, please don't hurt Gina!" he was frantic, and he was terrified. What kind of wolf was this?

"Alpha, I think we have a problem," Lorenzo whispered in my ear. I looked back at him. "Look at his wrists and ankles," I looked at the boy and saw that his wrists and ankles were...fine. There were no burn marks on them. That's not possible for a werewolf. "What the hell?" I say out loud.

"Please, do whatever you want to me, just don't hurt Gina! Please, she's an only child, and it's just her and her mom, please don't kill her!" Victor cried.

"Victor, calm down," I tell him sternly and he does while still sobbing. "You said you were mugged, what happened after that?"

"I woke up here," he replied. "Look, my family is loaded, if it's money you want, just set a price and they'll pay it," what the hell? Does he think we kidnapped him? I think to myself.

"Kendrick,"

"What's up?"

"Go wake Rylee and bring her down here. I want to see if this kid is lying," Kendrick nodded and went to go get Rylee. We waited a few minutes, and Kendrick came down with Rylee in tow.

"Wyatt, what's going on?" she asked me. I pulled her over to the far corner and whispered to her.

"Dearest, I need you to talk to the boy,"

"Boy?"

"The rogue, I get the feeling that he's not a werewolf,"

"Wyatt, how is that possible?"

"I don't know dearest, but he only looks to be about your age, and when I said the word 'pack' he acted as if he didn't know what I was talking about,"

"What?"

"Rylee, I need you to see if this boy is possibly human,"

"But, he smells like a rogue,"

"I know, but I get the feeling that he isn't," she nodded her head and we went back to the cell. I stepped back to let Rylee do her thing.

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

I stood in front of the cell and looked at the boy in front of me. Wyatt wasn't kidding, he looked young, and his wounds weren't healing. What shocked me more was the fact that he was chained with silver, yet his wrist and ankles weren't burning. "Hi, my name is Rylee Dusquesne, what's yours?" I asked carefully.

"Victor, Victor Aguilar,"

"Victor, do you know how you ended up here?"

"You guys kidnapped me," he replied. He wasn't lying. Although it wasn't true, in his mind, he thinks we kidnapped him.

"Can you tell me the last thing you remember?"

"Why don't you ask your boyfriend over there? I told him all of this already," he said with a broken voice.

"Um, well, my boyfriend doesn't know how to pass along messages, so I need you to tell me in your words, please?" I asked nicely hoping he would see I meant him no harm. Something about his was off. Even though smelled like a rogue, even I had a hard time believing he was a werewolf.

"I was at the movies with my girlfriend Gina, and then we were mugged. Then I woke up here," he responded and again, he wasn't lying. He was telling the truth.

"Victor, how old are you?"

"19,"

"Do you know what today is?"

"I'm going to guess Sunday, since I went to the movies on Saturday," wrong answer, but not a lie.

"Victor, what's today's date?" Wyatt asked him. He was thinking the same thing I was.

"It's Sunday, December 4th," wrong answer yet again, but he was telling the truth in his own mind. I looked at Wyatt and at the others and they were all thinking the same thing.

"Victor, it's not December 4th, it's December 18th," Wyatt told him.

"What!? You've kept me, prisoner, for two weeks!?" Victor shouted.

"No, we haven't," I replied. "Victor, we found you today," Victor looked at me in shock, but his eyes told me he knew that I wasn't lying. "Victor, what are you?"

"What do you mean what am I? Are you asking for my race?"

"No, I'm asking about your species," I reply.

"What the f**k? Are you serious right now!? I'm human! What else would I be!?"

"Wyatt," I looked back at him and he was shocked as well.

"Jason, unchain him and put into one of the cleaner cells. Keep his feet chained though. Clean him up, bring clothes, food, and water. And get Dr. Andrews down here for care for his wounds and tell him I want a blood a sample. No one is allowed down here until we figure out what the hell is going on,"

"Yes, sir,"

"Victor, we're going to take care of you okay. You don't have to be afraid of us,"

"I don't care what happens to me, please, just don't hurt Gina," he replied and lowered his head in defeat. I walked back to Wyatt and put my hands on his chest.

"Wyatt, he's not lying. In his mind, he is telling the truth, but that's not the scary part,"

"What is it?"

"The rogue smell, it's going away. Victor is human," I say and look up at Wyatt who is furrowing his brows.

"Alpha, the Luna is correct, I can sense it as well. Whatever happened to this boy, I don't think we were ever meant to find out. Whoever did this to him, probably didn't expect him to survive the attack, or expected him to run away when their loss became inevitable,"

"So, he's telling the truth? He doesn't remember what happened to him for the last two weeks?" Wyatt asks.

"I may not be able to detect lies the way the Luna can, but with my heightened sense of smell, even I can sense when someone is attempting to lie, but he wasn't," "Kendrick," Wyatt called to him.

"What's up?"

"Grab my sister and Milan and go through human news stories. Go back to two weeks ago, and see if there are missing person reports for a Victor Aguilar matching his description, and see if you can figure what happened to his girlfriend, Gina,"

"I need a last name on the girlfriend," Kendrick said. I turned to Victor was now being placed in a much nicer cell with an actual bed, and toilet and only one ankle being chained.

"Victor, I want to help find your girlfriend, can you tell me her last name?"

"Why? So, you guys can kidnap her too! f**k you!" he spat.

Like I'm going tell you fuckers her last name is Jefferson.

"Well, at least I know I can read the thoughts of humans too," I whisper to Wyatt and the others. "Her last name is Jefferson," I tell Kendrick. He nods and leaves the cellar. I looked at Victor and can see just how weak and defeated he is. There was no doubt that someone did this to him, but the question is why?
