My Miracle Luna
Chapter 57

{Layla's

P.O.V.}

When I got back to the castle, things seemed to be quite off. Everyone was on high alert, but yet at the time, everyone seemed to be unusually calm. I went to go find Andrea and Sierra, and they told me that they were at Terrine's cottage on the south side of the territory. I didn't feel like walking all that way, so I mind linked them telling them to come to find me when before they went home.

I was wandering around the castle, and everyone who was also roaming around or hanging out were busy whispering to each other, some looked to be scared, and some looked to be in a state of panic. I wanted to know what the hell was going on all of a sudden, so I stopped a random Omega, "Hey, what's going?"

"The Alpha has locked himself in his office with the other ranked members and a few other essential pack members. He was in a lot of pain a couple of hours ago and it could be felt by every pack member. As of right now, he wants no one to bother him unless it's an emergency,"

"What do you mean he was in pain?"

"I'm not sure, but it must have been pretty intense if the pack members could feel it,"

"Is he okay? Did anyone take him to the pack hospital?" Did Wyatt get hurt while I was gone? What could have happened in the day and a half I was gone.

"He seems to be okay now, but no one has seen him since he came home. Also, the other ranked members aside from the Beta Melody and Michelle haven't been seen either. They've all been upstairs on the Alpha's floor for the last couple of hours and the only person that has seen them is Grace and a few of the kitchen Omegas. According to them, the Alpha is very angry,"

"What do you mean he's angry?"

"Look, I don't know all the details okay. I'm telling you what I've heard from other people, now if you will excuse me, I have work to do. Unlike you, I have a job in the pack," she said and walked away. I scoffed at her attitude. When I become Luna, I'm going to make sure no one ever disrespects me.

You're one to talk, you disrespected the Luna all the time.

How many f*****g times do I have to tell you, Athena, that b***h was not he Luna. And you need to stop bringing her up! She's f*****g gone. Wyatt is mine now!

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. You know as well as I do secrets don't stay secrets for long. Look what happened to Terrine.

Terrine dug her own grave because she was being too much of a b***h to everyone which made everyone question her. Had she just calmed the f**k down, Keaton never would have got suspicious and may have even tried to like her.

You're a f*****g hypocrite. You kidnapped the Alpha and worked with a dark witch to erase his memories of the Luna. And not to mention the rogue attacks. If you get caught, we are as good as dead!

We're not going to get caught! That witch and Ash along with his b***h of a sister know that if they talk, they die too. And Ash loses his pack. Our secret will stay a secret.

What happens if the Luna comes back?

STOP CALLING HER THE f*****g LUNA!! AND SHE'S NOT COMING BACK YOU STUPID MUTT!!

Why did I end up with a stupid human like you as my counterpart!?

Before I could even respond to her, Athena put up a block. I snubbed her either way and went to go see if I could make Wyatt feel better. I'm sure after staying away from him for a few weeks made him realize that he misses me. As I ascended up the stairs, I was stopped by Hugo and Maddox.

"What the hell?" I said to them.

"The Alpha does not want to be bothered by anyone," Hugo said to me.

"Well, I'm not just anyone, so how about you go tell him that I want to speak with him," they both just lifted their brows at me without moving. "I said..."

"What makes you think you have the right to command us to do anything?" Maddox said to me with a condescending tone. "Excuse me!?"

"You're nothing, and we outrank you," Hugo said. They both crossed their arms and refused budge. I tried to mind link Wyatt but was met with a block. "If you're trying to mind link the Alpha, you can forget about it. Unless it's from me or Maddox, he has blocked everyone in the pack,"

"UGHGH!" I stomped back downstairs. I honestly couldn't fathom what would be so important that Wyatt would put up a block to the entire pack and lock himself in his office with the other ranked members. Were they still trying to find ways to bring that b***h Rylee back? It can't be. It's been over two months, there's no reason for Wyatt to keep trying to find her. Everyone else has to be coercing him. That's probably why he's mad, he doesn't want to have to find her, but everyone else is manipulating him to find her. Yeah, that has to be it.

As soon as Wyatt was alone, I was going to have my way with him, and I'm going to mark him. I'm going to officially mark Wyatt as mine, and then those fuckers will have to give up the search for that homewrecking tramp Rylee,

Do you honestly think you're going to be able to mark someone who isn't our mate!?

Why wouldn't we be able to Athena?! That b***h's mark is no longer on his neck so that makes Wyatt fair game!

That's assuming he lets you anywhere near him.

SHUT UP ATHENA!!!

I pushed her to the back of my mind. My wolf was more annoying that hussy Rylee. Always trying to do the right thing and being all sweet and innocent. Wyatt hate's sweet and innocent, he said so himself. I was not going to give up. As long as that witch Svetlana never came knocking, Wyatt will never get his memories back of that barbie wannabe. I just needed to give him a little more time. One way or another, I will become the Luna of this pack. {Rylee's P.O.V.}

The following day, I had an appointment with the OBGYN to get an update on my pup,

"Well, Megan, your baby is looking healthy," the doctor said as she was checking up on my pup. "He or she is growing at a great pace, but..."

"But?"

"I am a little worried that your baby may be a little too big for you to give birth naturally. You have such a small frame that I may have to induce you early if he or she gets too big," "Induce?" I c****d my head, not understanding.

"Yes, it means that I will have to force you into labor early,"

"Oh..." I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Don't worry Megan, I'm not sure if I have to just yet, but it's just something I want you to be aware of. As of right now, your baby probably weighs about six to eight pounds already, and for a young woman who is only six and a half months pregnant, that's quite a large baby. Are you sure you're only six and a half months?"

"Well, she always had a very irregular menstrual cycle, so she could be off by a couple of weeks?" Olivia said to the doctor saving me from having to answer her.

"That's actually quite normal, that's why most babies are born two early to two weeks late," the doctor said with a smile as she wiped down my stomach from the blue gel. "Honestly, I can induce her as early as eight months, because by that time the baby is fully viable and will only need to be in the NICU for a few weeks,"

"Doctor, we would like to avoid induction if possible," Olivia said. All this medical jargon was beyond me and was giving me a headache. Thank the goddess for Olivia.

"As I said, it's just a possibility, and as a doctor, I have to voice all of the options available to her. It is possible that the size of her baby will put her into early labor as it is. If he or she runs out of room, he or she is going to want out on their own. I've seen it happen, so there is no need to worry," I just smiled and nodded at the doctor. As long as she says my pup is healthy and growing nicely, that's all I care about. "Did you want to know the s*x of the baby?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise. That's why I don't want to see the screen," I answer.

"Okay, I just want to be sure that was still your decision," the doctor said. "On your way out, make sure you make another appointment for next month, okay?"

"Okay," the doctor left the room so I could get dressed. Once I had my clothes back on, Olivia and I went out front and made another appointment. This was hard to keep to up with because of the fact that I'm not carrying a human, but a werewolf baby. Thankfully, we didn't plan on having the birth in a hospital and were just using the human doctor to keep an eye on my pup.

After making the appointment, Olivia and I decided to grab something to eat, and I had a sudden craving for fried chicken.

"Olivia, can we go to Popeyes?"

"Sure," she put the location into map thing in her car that she calls a GPS and took us there. It only took a few minutes. When we got inside, I had to think back to what Wyatt had ordered that one time. "Megan, what did you want?"

"Umm...I want the regular fried chicken, mashed potatoes, the red beans with rice, and oh, the biscuits,"

"How about we just order a family pack and we can the sides that you want?"

"Okay,"

"Hi, welcome to Popeyes, what can I get for you today?"

"Hi there, my niece and I would like to get the sixteen-piece family pack,"

"Spicy or mild?"

"Mild, she can't have spicy while she's pregnant, bad acid reflux,"

"Oh, I know the feeling," the girl said. "What kind of sides did you want?"

"We would like to have mashed potatoes, red beans with rice, and can we add a side of the coleslaw?"

"Sure thing. That comes with six biscuits, is that okay?"

"Perfect. Megan sweetie, did you want to add anything else?"

"Ummm...Oh, what's the blueberry and lemon cheesecake pie?" I asked when I saw the dessert on the menu.

"Oh, that's a new product, it's really good," the girl said exaggerating her face when she said that.

"Can I get two of those?"

"Make that three," Olivia said.

"Sure, is that going to be all for you?"

"Can we get some cups for water?" I asked.

"Sure thing, is that all?"

"That's all," Olivia answered.

"Your total today is going to $42.19," Olivia pulled out her card and gave it to the girl. After she got the receipt and our order number, the girl gave us our cups and we went to go get water. I found a table to sit at, while Olivia waited for the food. About ten minutes later Olivia came and I wasted no time in digging in.

"Ohhh...I forgot how good this place was," I moaned after taking a bite of the chicken. I stared down at the food couldn't help but smile thinking back to the first time Wyatt and Kendrick introduced me to it. Thinking about that day made my eyes water, but I quickly fought back the tears and kept eating.

"Megan, have you had a chance to think about what we talked about yesterday?"

"I have, but I still don't know if that's something I want to do just yet. I don't know if she will be willing to help after what I did,"

"I think she would, because well, she's the grandmother, and from what Wayne has told me, she was very fond of you and even bad mouthed the father behind his back," I just chuckled at that statement. Grace was never afraid to let her words flow freely whether it was out loud or in her mind, which those words would eventually be said out loud anyway. "We still have time before you to make a final decision," I nodded and continued eating. I honestly did wonder if Grace would be willing to help me. {Wyatt's P.O.V.}

After Svetlana gave me back my memories, my mind has been all over the place. My actions against Rylee during the time that I didn't remember her were haunting me all day and night, and I wasn't able to sleep. I seriously couldn't believe what Layla had done. It was no secret that she like me, but I never thought she would completely lose her sanity and team up with a dark witch to get rid of Rylee.

I should have listened to everyone and banished her because of her toxicity. Plus the fact that she tried to kill Rylee that one day and Rylee covered it up because she didn't want Layla to get in trouble. Of course, Rylee would be too naïve and let something like that go. Had she told me then, Layla would have been banished, and none of this would have happened. Then again, knowing how unstable Layla is at this point, it probably still would have.

The fact that Layla, Ash, and Emma were behind the human kidnappings is even more outrageous. All because Ash wanted Rylee back at Halfmoon. I knew he would eventually try something to get Rylee back, but never in a million years did I think he would go such extreme measures and put his entire pack in danger that way. It's no wonder no other packs were attacked. It also makes sense that there have been no attacks since Rylee left.

My afternoon thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, I reluctantly got up and opened it,

"Son how are you holding up?" my dad asked. I opened the door for him to come in. I closed the door and locked it before answering, "Honestly, I feel like a s**t dad. I can't stop thinking about how I treated Rylee,"

"Wyatt, that wasn't the real you. Your mind was manipulated for Layla's own personal greed because she thought that getting rid of Rylee and making you stop loving her would open the door for her to try and wriggle her way into your life and replace Rylee, but we all know that's not how mates work. The moment Rylee rejected you, you knew that she was your mate, and you believed it. Even when you didn't know who she was, you still loved her, because your heart knew what the truth was even though your mind didn't," "Our bond should have been unbreakable,"

"Unfortunately, when Rylee's mark on you was taken away, it left your bond with her weakened and I think that's what Layla was counting on. That and making your mark on Rylee invisible also put doubt in your mind. I believe had you been able to at least see your mark on Rylee, it would have helped you believe she was your mate,"

"Kendrick told me that Rylee said she couldn't feel any of the sparks that a mate would normally feel when they touch their mate when she hugged me at the police station,"

"I think that may have been another physical element that was suppressed while you were under the spell, just like not seeing your mark on Rylee,"

"Dad, I don't know if I can live without her. Eight years, I lived thinking Rylee was dead, but when I found her, it was like something inside of me came to life. I'll never forget the moment she told me she loved me. It was when I showed her the picture of us when she was ten, right before her pack was killed. She realized who I was, and who I was to her, and when I told her I loved her, she immediately said it back. I felt as if my heart was going to explode from pure happiness. What if I never get hear her say those words again? What if we can't find her? What if we do find her, but she can't forgive me for everything that I did to her?"

"Wyatt, you need to stop asking all of these 'what ifs'. You're going to drive yourself insane asking questions about the unknown. What we do know is that Rylee is with Lorenzo, and you said yourself last night that Lorenzo knows a witch, and Svetlana may have an idea of who it might be. For now, we just have to wait for her leg to fully heal before she can go out and do her research," I hung my head as I sat on my bed. I grunted in frustration and laid back hating that we had to wait for Svetlana's leg to heal. I hated being away from Rylee, but I had no choice but to wait.

"What do you think we're having?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"The baby. What do you think we're having?"

"My best guess is that you two are having a boy since your sister had a girl," he said, and I could tell he was looking at me. "What do you want to have?"

"I remember telling Kendrick that having a son would be nice, you know, someone to take over when I'm ready to retire, but a little girl that I could spoil rotten would be awesome too,"

"Son, you do realize that there is a high possibility that your pup is also a Primordial right?" I sat up on my elbows and looked at him. "Wyatt, you're a pureblooded Alpha, and so is Rylee,"

"Yeah, I have thought about that. Kendrick brought that up too. Honestly, dad, I'm terrified knowing that there is a high possibility my pup is like their mother. I mean, according to Lorenzo, more than half of the male Primordials born lost their pack, were exiled, or even killed because of how powerful they were, and don't get me started on the fact that there is a crazed vampire trying to keep the females for himself,"

"Well, everyone who knows about Rylee and why she was born believes she is the one who is supposed to kill the vampire. If that is the case, then that might pave the way for her kind to live and flourish,"

"I just want to find her and fix everything, dad. I love her more than life itself, and I don't know what I'll do if she doesn't forgive me,"

"Son, don't think about that just yet, we need to find her first," I nodded my head and lied back on the bed. I needed to find Rylee before it was too late.
