My Miracle Luna
Chapter 42

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

After everyone left my office, Rylee and I just sat in silence. There was so much going on in such a little time, that I didn't even know how Rylee hadn't left the pack yet. I was the Alpha, I was trained to handle situations like this, but Rylee, she had only been doing this for a couple of months, and now, things were starting to turn to utter s**t.

"Wyatt," she said softly. "Are you okay?"

"I should be asking you that?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" I just held my hands up gesturing everything that has been happening. "Oh," she said getting up and sitting on my lap. "You think that because of everything happening, I should be freaked out?" "Not freaked out, overwhelmed, maybe,"

"It is a lot, and it is overwhelming, but I'm the Luna, and it comes with the territory, does it not? Besides, I'm an Alpha too, and a Primordial,"

"Exactly dearest, you being a Primordial already puts enough stress on you, now we have to deal with fake wolves, humans being kidnapped, Terrine faking the paternity of her pup, and trying to find the proof that she killed Lizzy," "But I'm not alone in this, I have you, and the others. We have each other. Yes, I freaked out with the whole humans being kidnapped because of me, but that was then, and this is now," I looked at her and furrowed my brows. "What?" "When did you get so mature?"

"Since I knocked Lorenzo on his a*s that one time. It gave me newfound confidence, and I've been getting better with my telepathy. Who knows, maybe I am this chosen werewolf that's supposed to kill that blood-sucking vampire, and bring peace to our pack," "No one said anything about peace, dearest,"

"So, doesn't mean I can't try," I just smiled at her response.

"Are you hungry?" I asked her knowing that lunchtime was rolling around. She nodded and smiled. We went downstairs to see what was being prepared for lunch and found Jason and Milan already in the dining room waiting. They looked to be in deep conversation and didn't see Rylee or me standing there. "You guys good?" I asked. They both looked in our direction.

"Yeah, sorry, we're just talking about the whole Aunt Lizzy thing," Jason responded.

"I think it's stupid you didn't banish her, Wyatt," Milan said to me.

"Milan, you know the laws, there's no proof other than Rylee's here-say, and you know the Elders are going to want physical proof and not circumstantial evidence,"

"Rylee is the Luna; her word should suffice!"

"But it doesn't," Milan groaned and crossed her arms. This hit home for everyone. Jason, Milan, Kendrick, and I all grew up together, and Kendrick's mom was always feeding us when our parents were too busy running the pack. She was the only ranked female who would rather be a housewife rather than have actual political responsibilities in the pack, so my dad let her. That was her job, as the Beta female, make sure we didn't get into trouble. We all had high respect for her, so her sudden death was a big blow to everyone. "What can you guys tell me about her?" Rylee asked.

"What isn't there to talk about when it comes to Auntie Lizzy?" Milan said smiling. "She had a kind heart and she had a lot of love to give,"

"Especially to Melody and Milan," Jason added.

"Why them?"

"Because she didn't have a girl, she only had Ken and Keaton," I answered. "She spoiled those two girls crazy, but then again, she spoiled all of us," "Yeah, if we weren't werewolves, and we didn't train the way we did from an early age, we'd be fat pigs, for how she always fed us," Jason responded.

"She was always baking! Auntie Lizzy made the best chocolate chip cookies," Milan exclaimed.

"Really? Does anyone know the recipe? I can try and make it," Rylee offered.

"Dearest, you bake?"

"I do everything, Wyatt. I was a slave for eight years remember?" I couldn't help but get a little agitated hearing that.

"I don't think anyone knows her recipe, she never wrote it down anywhere. Everything she did she made from scratch," Milan answered. "She was an amazing woman,"

"She sounds like she was, I wish I could have met her," Rylee says with a frown.

"She was friends with your mom too," I tell her, and she looks at me. "Not as close as my mom was, but close enough. I remember when you were little before I knew you were my mate, your parents came to visit us once, and she went crazy over how cute you were. She always wanted a daughter, but got stuck with two boys instead,"

"She was just as devasted to hear that your pack had been killed. She was honestly hoping that you were Keaton's mate," Jason said.

"She what!?" I looked at him. "I didn't know that!!"

"Well, can you blame her? Her and Keaton are closer in age, and look at her, I mean, she obviously doesn't compare to Milan, but Rylee is beautiful,"

"You have your wires crossed, Jace. Rylee is the prettiest she-wolf there is, and you know it!"

"Are you calling Milan ugly!?"

"No, I'm saying SHE doesn't compare to Rylee!"

"Both you fuckers are wrong!" we heard Kendrick say as he came into the dining room with my sister next to him. "My Angel is prettier than both of them,"

"Sorry bro, but I think my Irene takes the title of the prettiest she-wolf," Keaton said coming with Irene. This ended up ensuing into an all-out argument of whose mate is prettier.

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

As the guys were arguing about who was prettier the girls and I just stood there together watching them. It was interesting watching the guys fighting like children, and it actually caught the attention of some of the kitchen staff, including Mr. and Mrs. Williams, "What are those boys arguing about now?" Mrs. Williams asked.

"Whose mate is prettier?" Milan answered.

"Well, that's an argument no one is going to win," she said and shook her head.

"MILAN CAN FIGHT!"

"RYLEE CAN COOK!"

"IRENE IS A NURSE!"

"DOT WENT TO COLLEGE!"

"What does that have anything to do with how we look?" Irene asked.

"It's just boys being boys kid, you get used to it. Those guys have always fought like this," Milan answered.

"Keaton is new to this mixture, but he's definitely fitting in," Melody said.

"IVORY IS WHITE WOLF!"

"ABIGAIL IS A FIRE AMBER RED! THAT'S RARE TOO!"

"TUNDRA IS A SILVER WOLF!"

"KALEIGH IS PINK! THERE ARE LITERALLY NO RECORDS OF A PINK WOLF ANYWHERE!"

"Oh my gosh, now they're comparing our wolves," Melody said shaking her head.

"Irene, I'm guessing your wolf's name is Abigail?" I asked her and she nodded. "That's a pretty name,"

"Thank you, Luna. I like to call her Abby,"

"So, kid, spill the beans, how is Keaton?" Milan asked.

"He's great! He treats me with respect, loves me for who I am, and..."

"No, no, no that's what I'm asking,"

"Huh?"

"I'm asking how good is he in bed? I mean, he obviously marked you, which means two have done the deed," she replied while wiggling her browns. Melody and I just looked at Irene as she extremely turned red. "So, spill, how big he is? Does he know how to go down on you? Have you gone down on him? You know, the juicy details,"

"Gamma," Irene turned even redder and held her cheeks making the rest of us laugh.

"Irene, you need to share with us, because none of us are allowed to share with each other," I tell her.

"Why not?"

"Seriously?" Melody asked. "Rylee is mated to my brother, and I grew up with Jason,"

"Yeah, I grew up with Kendrick, and Wyatt, so I honestly don't want to hear about them either," Milan said shuttering at the thought.

"Come on," I say and nudge her.

"Hey!" we look and see Michelle coming in.

"Hi, Michelle," she came and gave all of us a hug.

"Who's this?" she asked pointing at Irene.

"Michelle, this is Irene, she's Keaton's mate," Melody answered. "My new sister-in-law,"

"What? What the f**k happened to that b***h Terrine," we all gave her the cliff notes version of how Terrine had been lying about the pregnancy, and that her pup wasn't Keaton's after all. And that she was banned from the castle to live in the southernmost part of the territory. Michelle's expression hearing everything was almost comical in a sense because of the shock she was in.

"I had a feeling that b***h was lying when I smelled her, but I had to be sure," Melody said.

"Damn, that's some crazy s**t," she looked over at Irene and smiled. "I'm Michelle, I'm Milan's sister-in-law,"

"You are?" Irene asked.

"Yeah, I'm mates to her twin brother. One of the packs head trainers, Angelo,"

"Oh, I heard about you from Sirena, Owen's wife. She's one of the head nurses in the pack hospital. I heard that you're also expecting, congratulations,"

"Awww, thanks. Angelo and I are so excited," she replied and then looked at Milan and me. "Why aren't you guys pregnant yet?"

"I don't want a pup just yet. I'm a pack fighter, and I like action. Being a mom would take me away from that, and I ain't ready. Plus, Jason doesn't want a pup just yet either. He likes that we can travel without having to worry about a baby,"

"Wyatt and I haven't talked about kids yet. I'm technically still a kid myself, I mean, I'm only 18,"

"I'm 18 too, Luna, but I would love to have a pup," Irene said.

"Have you talked to Keaton about that?" Melody asked.

"We talk about it all the time. He wants a pup as soon as possible," she replied. "Originally, Keaton was excited about being a father, so he feels betrayed knowing that Terrine used his hopes and dreams about being a dad against him that way. He wants us to complete the mating process after I move into the castle,"

"Have you had your heat yet?" Milan asked.

"Not yet, but I'm sure it's coming,"

"Rylee, have you had yours yet?" Melody asked and I just shook my head.

"What? But you and brother have been together for almost three months now," I just shrugged my shoulders.

"It's okay, Luna. A female's heat is unpredictable. My mom said she didn't have hers until almost a year after she and my dad met," Irene responded.

"My mom didn't have hers for about six months after she met my dad too," Michelle said.

"Actually, even my mom took a few months also now that I think about it," Milan answered tapping her chin.

"What's it like?" I asked. "You know, going into heat?"

"It sucks, that's what it's like," Milan replied.

"It's not all bad, the s*x is amazing, and you get to have it for hours on end," Melody answered. "But, you get tired of seeing your mate after seeing nothing but them for three to five days nonstop, and the last thing you want is s*x," "How do you know when you're going to start?"

"Ummm...I felt dizzy and hot when I started," Melody answered. "It almost felt like I had vertigo,"

"I get super horny and it feels like I'm in a sauna," Milan replied.

"I haven't had mine yet," Michelle said.

"Then how did you end up pregnant?" I asked.

"Luna, you don't have to be in heat to get pregnant," Irene said.

"You don't?"

"No, being in heat just makes your chances a lot higher, but you can pregnant whenever," she replied.

"OH COME ON MAN! YOU CAN'T USE POWERS AS A REASON WHY RYLLE IS PRETTIER!!" Kendrick shouted.

"YEAH WYATT!!" Jason and Keaton agreed.

"What's going on?" Michelle asked.

"They're arguing on whose the prettier mate between the four of us," I tell her and point to Melody, Milan, Irene, and myself. Michelle just looked at us funny, and back at the guys.

"Well, that's an argument no one is going to win," she said making us laugh. "You're all equally pretty in your own ways,"

"How did this argument even start?" Melody asked.

"It was Jason's fault," I said,

"What? It was Wyatt's fault," Milan said shoving me.

"Jason is the one that said you're prettier than me,"

"Wyatt is the one that had to disagree,"

"Are you saying that you're prettier than me!?"

"I never said that!"

"It's what was implied!"

"No it wasn't, I just said that Wyatt is the one who had to tell Jason he was wrong,"

"So, you agree with Jason, and you think you're prettier than me!"

"Don't put words in my mouth Rylee, I'll kick your a*s!"

"Please, I have powers,"

"And you're not allowed to use them on pack members!"

"Unless it's to defend myself, and you just threatened to kick my a*s!" she scoffed knowing I had her cornered. I stuck my tongue at her knowing I won. We looked back at the guys who were still going at it. "How do we stop them?" I asked. "Get Auntie Grace," Milan said.

"Did I hear my name?" we turned around and see Grace and Ronan. "Oh my, are those boys arguing over something stupid again?" she asked. "Yeah," we all said in unison

"Watch and learn girls," she said and walked past us. "ALRIGHT THAT IS ENOUGH!" she shouted at them and smacked all of them in the back of the head. Irene, Michelle, and I gasped, but Melody and Milan just smiled. "Mom!"

"Aunt Grace!" the guys shouted at the same time.

"You four ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Fighting like children in front of your mates, and the kitchen staff," she said scolding them. "On your knees! Hands up!" all of the guys froze. "NOW!!!" she roared, and they all went to the middle of the dining room and got on their knees and raised their arms above their heads.

"What?" I c****d my head and looked at Ronan.

"Lactic acid build-up, the boys have to keep their arms up and stay on their knees for as long as they were arguing,"

"Rylee, sweetheart, how long have the boys been arguing?" she asked me right on cue.

"Ummm...About half an hour maybe?"

"Okay, since you boys are double the age you were when we started using this punishment, we're going to double the time,"

"Mom! Come on! We're not kids!"

"Well, if you four are going to argue like children, I'm going to punish you like children. Arms up! One hour!"

"I'm the Alpha!!"

"And I'm still your mother,"

"PFFT!" all of us started to crack up which earned us glares from the guys.

"If you girls want to join them, keep laughing," Grace said to us and we immediately stopped.

"Why am I getting in trouble? Angelo's not even here," Michelle said trying to defend herself.

"Don't talk back to my mom!" Melody shouted. We all looked at Grace who the look of death on her face.

"Michelle, do you want to join them?" Grace asked.

"No ma'am,"

"I didn't think so," she said putting her hands on her hips. "Set the table girls,"

"Yes ma'am!" we all replied and went to help the kitchen Omegas set the table for lunch while the guys got their punishments. The kitchen staff was also giggling and snickering at was unfolding in the dining room.

"Melody, Irene, how are Kendrick and Keaton doing?" I carefully ask.

"Ken is holding up, but he's frustrated," Melody answered.

"Keaton is angry, but he's trying to hide it. I'm not sure who he is more pissed off at, her or his dad," Irene answered.

"I can't even imagine what he must be going through. Knowing that the person responsible for your mother's death also tried to trap you in a pregnancy. I mean, how f****d up is that?" Milan said softly. We looked at back at the guys who were still being scolded by Grace. Although seeing them being punished like children was comical, it didn't take away from the fact that someone close to everyone was taken from them.

I just hoped that the investigation Wyatt was conducting would bring about the answers that everyone wanted.
