My Miracle Luna
Chapter 61

{Rylee's

P.O.V.}

"Alas, I have found you," I heard a creepy voice. I moved my head around in my sleep and thought I was hearing things, so I fell back into my slumber. But that didn't last long when I felt someone touching my face. My eye shot open, and I found a man standing over

me.

"WHO ARE YOU!?!" I shouted and blasted him with my telepathic powers. He went flying across the room, but when I looked around, I didn't recognize the room I was in, only because it was dark, and the only thing I could see was the bed I was in. "You are very powerful, I like that. I believe you and I will make powerful offspring," he says.

"Offspring?" I stand to my feet, but something is off. I look down, and I see that I'm standing on nothing. It's a black hole beneath me, and what's worse is that I'm no longer pregnant. "What the hell?!"

"My, you are quite lovely, better than the other two," the creepy man said.

"WHO THE f**k ARE YOU!? WHERE IS MY BABY!?" I shouted. The moment I did, I heard a baby cry. I turned around and saw a crib several feet away. I ran across the empty space towards and see a baby with light brown hair lying down next to a stuffed black wolf. Is this my pup? Upon instinct, I picked up the baby and held it close. I couldn't tell if my pup was a boy or a girl, but the moment that I picked him or her up, I knew immediately that he or she was mine. I could just feel the bond between mother and child between us. "Put the child down, and come with me,"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!?!" I shouted and blasted him again. I held him down with my power and started to scream from help, "WILLIAM!! OLIVIA!! HELP!!" I screamed but no one came.

"Scream all you want, I will find you, and we will be together. And that abomination in your arms will reap the consequences forever being born," the creepy man said. I watched as his eyes flashed red and he disappeared into a puff of black smoke. As soon as he was gone, I looked down at my baby and I watched as their eyes opened, and they were diamond blue like Kaleigh's.

"Over my dead body," I kissed my baby and held them close again.

"Rylee!" I heard someone call my name. "Rylee!" I felt someone shaking me and trying to take my baby.

"No! Don't take my baby! No!"

"Rylee! Wake up!"

"NO! DON'T TAKE MY BABY!" I screamed again.

"RYLEE!"

"AHH!!!" I shot up and held my chest as if my heart were about to explode.

"Rylee!" someone grabbed my shoulders and I jumped. I looked at the person in front of me and I realized it was William. I let out a huge sigh of relief. "Rylee, what's wrong?" "Nothing, it was just a nightmare, it wasn't real,"

"Rylee, it must have been some nightmare for you to shake the entire condo,"

"I what?" I looked at him.

"You may have been shaken the entire building,"

"S**t,"

"Rylee, tell me what you saw?"

"Saw? William, it was a nightmare,"

"Rylee, I don't believe that it was. If your powers were activated, it meant that your subconscious was fully awake, which means, you weren't actually sleeping," "What?"

"I think you may have had a premonition, Rylee,"

"But I don't have that power, at least I didn't before,"

"The power of premonition comes when you least expect it to. Now, tell me what you saw,"

"Ummm...I was sleeping, but then I heard a creepy voice. I thought I was hearing things, so I turned over to go back to sleep, but then I felt someone touch my face. When I woke up, there was a creepy guy looking at me, and I blasted him with my powers. Then I heard a baby cry, and inside the crib was a baby. It was my baby, and I was holding him or her, and when I did, the creepy guy said he was going to have me no matter what, and that he was going to kill my baby. He also said something about having offspring with me, then he disappeared in a puff of black smoke, but not before his eyes flashed red,"

"Rylee, that was most definitely a premonition, only you were in your own body when it occurred,"

"What?" I just looked at him like he was insane. "William, who was the creepy man?"

"Rylee, that was more than likely Alessandro, and what you were experienced is what's called an inner body premonition. Your current soul transported itself into your future self when he finds you," I felt my heart stop when he said that. "But, from what your premonition just showed, it won't be until after you have your pup. And if you were powerful enough to blast him to make him run, it means that you do eventually come into your full powers,"

"Wait, but you said that can only if Wyatt is..." I didn't even finish what I was going to say when he just started nodding his head.

"It looks like my having taken you from Blue Lake may have given you more time. When I had my premonition of Alessandro finding you, you were still very much pregnant, which means, Olivia's magic is concealing you very nicely. It's giving him a hard time tracking you down," "But he finds me either way and now my pup is in danger,"

"Rylee, remember when I said we have a premonition only when we're supposed to?" I nodded my head. "It's because it gives us time to plan, and change the outcome," I just gave him a look. "And do not bring up your family again Rylee. I already told you, by the time I got that one it was too late," I scoffed and turned my back to him. I lied back down on my side just wanting to go to sleep again. "Rylee, bear in mind that your premonition will come true if you had an inner body experience," I shifted my eyes to look in his direction without making actual eye contact. I felt him get up from my bed and heard my door slide open and closed again.

I held my stomach and prayed to the moon goddess and every other higher power there is that my pup would always be safe. I would gladly give up my life if it meant that my baby would live happy and healthy. {Wyatt's P.O.V.}

*ring ring ring ring ring ring*

"Mmm...Hello?"

"Mr. Valencia? Sir, it's Lazarus,"

"What the f**k? Laz, it's two in the f*****g morning,"

"Sir, you said you wanted to me to call you as soon as I got the information on the Valet driver,"

"You already got the information?"

"I have enough that I think you're going to want to know," I sat up and rubbed my face of my sleep.

"Give me a second," I tiredly walked to my office down the hall, turned on the lights, locked the door behind me, and turned on my computer. "Email me the results,"

"I already have sir, you should have received them by now,"

"Alright, hold on," my computer booted up completely and I opened my inbox. Sure enough, there was an email from Lazarus with an attachment. I opened it up and saw it was only five pages long. "What the f**k? Laz, why are there only five pages?" "Sir, I'll give you the play by play, are you ready?"

"Yes, get on with it,"

"His name is Wayne Campbell, he's 47 years old, and works Valet at the hotel, which you already know. He has a wife by the name of Celeste, she is 45 and is a stay at home wife. They have no children," he explains while I'm scrolling through the file. Something catches my eye, and I stop. I scroll back up when I see the brunette from the hotel. "Who's the young brunette?"

"According to my intel, she is their niece. Her name is Megan Campbell. Her parents are deceased- a car accident. She's also about six and a half to seven months pregnant,"

"Any other next of kin for the girl?"

"None whatsoever; however, sir, there is something off about this family," "What's that?"

"Their identities only go back a few months. There is no record of Wayne and Celeste Campbell anywhere in the greater Detroit area that matches their description, and that includes Megan. It's almost as if their identities are fake. They could also part of the WitSec program,"

"I highly doubt that. If they were in witness protection, Wayne wouldn't be working. He'd be getting paid in cash by the government," I replied. "Do you know where they live?"

"Yes sir. I hacked into the State of Michigan DMV database and found that they live in a condo about twenty minutes north of downtown in Royal Oak. I'm currently outside the complex now, and sir, something strange happened a few minutes ago," "What's that?"

"The entire building shook, and only that one building," Hearing that made it even clearer to me that this Megan girl is Rylee. She had must have shaken the building with her powers. That's the only thing that made sense.

"Okay, I got it. Just keep an eye out, and I want you to concentrate on the girl,"

"Sir?"

"Don't ask questions! Just do it!"

"Yes, sir," I hung up the phone and looked at the address. 111 N Main St Unit 306, Royal Oak. She's been so close all this time, and yet it seems as if she is worlds away from me. Will we get mate back?

I don't know Blade, but I will do whatever it takes to get them back. Rylee, Kaleigh, and our pup. All of them. I will gravel on my knees and you will submit to her if you have to. You are telling me, an Alpha wolf to submit? To her? A female?

You do realize that she's more powerful than we are, right? She can easily put us on our a*s if she wanted to.

You don't have to rub it in a*****e.

You told me to snap out of it when we were under the spell. Why weren't you affected?

I was, but as the good doctor said, our mark still resided on her neck, and I knew it was from us.

Why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't. I wanted to and I tried to, but the words wouldn't form. I believe that the spell was preventing me from doing so. That is why I was trying to tell you to stop hurting her dumbass.

Now is not the time for name-calling, mutt. I know what happened was wrong, but you can't put the full blame on me. I was under the spell of dark magic, no thanks to that selfish b***h Layla. What is your plan for her?

We share a mind, I'm sure you know exactly what I have in store for her.

I do, I just want to hear you say it.

Blade retreated to the back of my mind and I could just see his wolf-like smirk as he pictured the pain we were going to put Layla through when I got Rylee back in my arms. I let out a deep sigh, and I went back to my room. I figured there was no point in going back to sleep since morning training was in an hour. I decided to let Blade out for a morning run before going to training.

{Ash's P.O.V.}

I couldn't believe that the elders sent an investigator to my pack. They didn't give us any warning, the investigator just showed up a few days ago and has yet to leave. I don't know what he is trying to do prove, but he showed up before we could dispose of all the humans. I couldn't just dispose of fifty-plus human bodies all at once, it would bring on too much suspicion. And I couldn't just let them all go. They knew about werewolves now, and I couldn't allow them to tell human authorities that our kind existed. This was all f*****g Emma's fault. She was the one who insisted I side with Layla to get Rylee back to Halfmoon. My sister hated Rylee with a passion, and I knew the only reason why she wanted Rylee back was that she wanted to torture her again. I wanted Rylee back to teach her a lesson in rejecting me. Ever since Rylee left, Kano hasn't spoken a word to me. The only time I ever even notice his existence is when he is itching to go for a run. Even when in wolf form, he will completely take over and won't say a word. Knowing that Rylee was no longer at Blue Lake gave me hope that she would eventually just find her way back here. Valencia didn't want her anymore, and as long as that witch never reversed the spell, it would always stay that way. I would give Rylee time to come to her senses, and when she came graveling back to me, I was going to punish her for leaving me for that ingrate Valencia. But for now, I had to make sure that this damn Elder didn't go snooping in parts of the territory he wasn't supposed to. "Alpha Ash, where is your father?" the investigator asked.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked him annoyed.

"There are parts of the investigation that revolve around him and his time as Alpha. Where is he?" he said in a demanding tone.

"Don't use that tone with me!" I shouted.

"You will be wise to watch your tone with me, pup. I'm an Elder, and you are nothing but a low-level Alpha," he said as his eyes turned black. As much as I wanted to rip his throat out, I knew I was no match for an Elder. Even though they were older, they were powerful, and even Alphas were not a match for them. "Fetch Eric!" he commanded. I mind linked my father,

Dad.

What is it, Ash?

The investigator wants to speak with you.

Why?

How the f**k should I know!? He's a f*****g Elder, just get over here!

I blocked him out before he could even reply. My dad complained about f*****g everything ever since he stepped down. The last seven months have been f*****g hell because of his constant whining and bitching that he gave me the pack too soon. He was honestly starting to get on my last nerves.

After a few minutes of waiting, my dad finally came to my office where the investigator and I were waiting.

"Took you long enough," I tell him as he sits down.

"Don't get smart with me Ash," he spat back.

"Gentlemen, a little professionalism if you please," the investigator said to us. I wanted this fucker gone already.

"Why did you ask to see me?" My dad asked him.

"I need to get some clarification on the challenge that occurred between you and the Alpha of the Silver Lake, the late Mitchell Duquesne,"

"Why? That's old news, and it was cleared with the Elders when it happened,"

"I understand, but there are a few loose ends that need to be cleared up,"

"Like what?" I asked.

"The reason behind the challenge for one," the investigator responded.

"I wanted their land," my father replied.

"And?"

"I wanted to increase my pack in numbers. Silver Lake had plenty of worthy fighters,"

"Is that so?" the investigator asked and nodded his head as he jotted down some notes. "Let me ask you this then, if that was the case, why kill the entire pack and leave their land to succumb to the ravage of time?"

"Simple, after the challenge, they didn't submit. They retaliated,"

"Really?" the investigator asked but didn't seem to be buying my father's answers. I honestly didn't know why he had challenged Silver Lake back then either, no one really does now that I think about it. "Eric, is it true that you fancied the Luna of Silver Lake?" "Excuse me?" my dad answered

"What?" I asked looking at my dad.

"What are you...What does that have to do with anything?" my asked.

"So, are you admitting to the rumors?" the investigator asked, and all I could do was look at my dad. Why would he like another woman when my mom was his mate?

"I'm not admitting to anything!" my dad said defensively.

"I'm just trying to gain some insight into the challenge. You say you wanted land and numbers, yet you killed the pack and you left the land alone. Your reasons behind the challenge are not sound, and the elders wonder if the challenge held an ulterior motive," "What other reason would there be!?" my shouted standing to his feet. I had never seen him so defensive before. This was unlike him.

"Eric, if the rumors of you fancying Luna Megan are true, then is it possible that you challenged Mitchell not for his pack, but for his Luna instead?" the investigator asked with an as-of-matter fact tone. "Though I can't say I blame you. Luna Megan was after all an Alpha herself,"

"What?" I asked in shock. Rylee's mom was also an Alpha? That would make Rylee a true Alpha. I lost out on a true Alpha as my mate, and that fucker Valencia got have her instead.

"It was no secret that Megan was courted by many. She was beautiful, she was kind-hearted, and she was powerful. Many Alphas wanted her as their Luna regardless if she was their mate," the investigator said. "But alas, Megan ended up with Alpha Mitchell, her true mate,"

"THAT SCUM DIDN'T DESERVE MEGAN! MEGAN WAS MINE! I DESERVED MEGAN! I COURTED HER BEFORE ANYONE ELSE!" my father shouted. What the f**k did he just say? "I EVEN REJECTED MY MATE FOR HER! YET SHE WOULDN'T DO THE SAME FOR ME! SHE CHOSE THAT MUTT OVER ME!"

"Dad what the f**k!?" I shouted at him. "What do you mean you rejected your mate for Rylee's mom!? You rejected mom!?"

"Alpha Ash, it appears that you are unaware of the truth," the investigator said. I just looked at him in confusion. "Your mother is not father's mate," my eyes widened in shock. I looked at my dad whose eyes black, and he was practically shaking. "Dad, what the f**k is he talking about? What does he mean that mom isn't your mate!?" he didn't answer me. "DAD!" I roared.

"Do I have to f*****g spell everything out to you! YOUR MOTHER IS NOT MY MATE! I was forced to take her as my chosen mate by your grandfather in order to get the pack! The mate I rejected got a second chance, and the love of my life, Megan was given to that good for nothing mutt Mitchell! I deserved Megan! I did! I've been in love with Megan since I was 18, and she chose him!"

"Dad, what the f**k?"

"Tell me Eric, were your feelings towards Megan so strong that you felt it necessary to challenge Alpha Mitchell?" the investigator.

"HE DIDN'T DESERVE HER! I was going to get her one way or another! So, yes! I challenged Mitchell for Megan's hand! I knew Mitchell was no match for me! Killing him would be too easy! Then Megan would be mine and I could get rid of that b***h Nicole and my sorry excuses of offspring and have a real family with the woman who was rightfully mine! But no! Megan only loved him! After killing him, she attacked me! SHE ATTACKED ME!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Dad, are you saying you challenged Silver Lake with the intent to kill their Alpha? All because you wanted his Luna!?"

"WHAT THE f**k DO YOU THINK YOU STUPID BOY!?" he shouted at me.

"Well, that's all I needed to hear," the investigator said and closed his books. "Just so you know, this entire conversation was recorded. I have your confession on record Eric. Alpha Ash, you are hereby ordered by the Elders to hand over your father," "What!?"

"Your father just admitted to premeditated murder and concealed it in the form of a challenge. The challenge is now being considered void; therefore, your father will be charged with the slaughter of the Siler Lake pack, as well as the unlawful imprisonment of their only heir, Ryan," I slumped down in my chair and looked at my father who looked like he had just seen a ghost. I knew that his anger would get the best of him someday. Using a challenge to get back a woman that wasn't even his mate, how pathetic. You're one to f*****g to talk! You're doing the same thing! f*****g hypocrite!

Kano! What the f**k is your deal!? You haven't spoken to me in months, and the first you thing you say to me is that I'm a f*****g hypocrite!?

You have no room to judge your father because what you've done is far worse.

I was going to say something, but he blocked me out. Stupid wolf. What the f**k is the point of having a wolf counterpart when they just ignore you.

"Alpha Ash! Did you hear me!?" the investigator shouted stirring me from my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Your guards! Summon them now!" he commanded. f*****g elders always act as if they're better than everyone. I mind linked two of my guards and they immediately came to my office. "You two will escort Eric Patterson to the council of Elders!" they both stood there speechless and looked at me. "DO NOT LOOK TO YOUR ALPHA FOR PERMISSION! I AM AN ELDER AND I GAVE YOU A DIRECT ORDER!" he commanded shaking the room. They immediately grabbed my father who tried to fight against them. "UNHAND ME! I ORDER YOU TO UNHAND ME AT ONCE!" he shouted at them.

"Eric Patterson, you can either go with your dignity, or you can go in shame, it's up to you!"

"What's going on!?" my mom shouted as she came into my office. "Honey, why are they arresting you!?"

"Dad!?" my sister shouted behind her.

"Nicole Patterson!" the investigator shouted at her. "Were you aware of your mate's crimes?!"

"Crimes!? What crimes?! What is going on!?" my mother yelled.

"Were you or were you not aware of your mate's actions in the premeditated murder of the Silver Lake Alpha!?"

"What?"

"Mom," I got her attention and walked over to her. "The challenge against Silver Lake... Dad admitted to challenging their Alpha to take their Luna,"

"What!?" she looked at my father with pure hatred. "YOU WHAT!?" She ran over to him and started to hit him in the chest. "YOU WANTED HER THAT MUCH! THAT STUPID b***h MEGAN! YOU WANTED HER SO BADLY THAT YOU CHALLENGED MITCHELL FOR HER! YOU SICK BASTARD! WHY WAS I NEVER GOOD ENOUGH! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!" she screamed at him. All my did was laugh at her.

"You," he sneered at her. "I never wanted you. You were forced on me. I only took you because I wanted my pack, but I never wanted you. You did nothing for me! You are nothing to me! The only way I could even bother being in bed with you is having to pretend you were her. I hate everything about you! You're disgusting! I'd do anything for Megan. I would have killed you and these mutts you call our children had she asked me to!" he spat at my mother making my sister gasp. I punched my father square in the jaw. "TAKE HIM TO THE ELDERS!" I shouted at the guards. No one disrespected my mother that way. The fact that he had no problem admitting he would have killed us so easily made my skin crawl. To think I was related to him.

Again, you're a f*****g hypocrite. You're keeping humans chained up and killing them one by one. You're just as sick as he is.

Kano growled at me before blocking me out again.

"This investigation isn't over Alpha Ash. There are still several other things I have to investigate, so don't get comfortable,"

f**k.
