My Miracle Luna
Chapter 62

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

I was sitting in my office going over the files that Lazarus sent me. I couldn't stop looking at Rylee, or should I say, Megan. I had her, I had her in my arms, and I didn't even know it. Whatever cloaking spell was being used was also masking her scent and her mark, which is why Blade didn't recognize her either. I honestly wondered if Rylee would forgive me once it was time to bring her home. It was strange, looking at Rylee's alias made me realize that it didn't matter what skin she was in, she would always be beautiful. Megan was beautiful, and I thought about that the moment I saw her not even knowing she was Rylee at the time. I slightly chuckled to myself realizing she named her alias after her mom. I kept staring at her photo when my thoughts were interrupted, "Yo, you wanted to see us?" Kendrick said coming in with Jason behind him.

"Yeah, close the door and lock it," they came over and sat down in front of me.

"What's up?" Jason asked.

"What I'm about to tell you stays between the three of us, for right now, understood?" they both nodded. "I found Rylee,"

"WHAT?!" they both exclaimed.

"Where is she!? Why haven't you gone to get her!?" Kendrick shouted.

"Is she okay!? How's the pup!?" Jason shouted as well.

"Slow down," I tell them while using my hands to gesture them to calm down. "I will tell you guys everything, but I need you guys to stay calm while I do," they both gathered themselves and took deep breaths and got ready for a long story. "I actually found her on accident," "Huh?" they both replied.

"I found her during the weekend of the convention. When I got there, I saw a young brunette sitting at the table where the company's booth was supposed to be set up, and I just stared at her while she was basically taking a nap. She was pregnant and everything," "Wait, Rylee is blonde," Kendrick said. Jason smacked his arm for interrupting me. "Sorry, continue,"

"Anyway, she woke up and came face to face with me. Seeing a young pregnant girl made me think of Rylee automatically, but as you both know, I didn't have my memories during the weekend of the convention," they both nodded. "Turns out this brunette was Rylee in disguise," both of their eyes widened. "As you both know, Lorenzo knows a good witch, and it appears that he reached out to her to help him hide Rylee in plain sight,"

"What do you mean by plain sight?" Jason asked.

"Rylee is still local,"

"WHAT?!" they both shouted.

"Yeah," I just nodded. "Svetlana figured out who the witch is that's helping them, and we were able to track down Lorenzo. Turns out, he works as a valet at the hotel where the convention was. I think that's why Rylee was there. She was at the convention because Lorenzo must have invited her. After all, it was an open door event. Anyway, at the time not knowing that this pretty brunette was Rylee, I asked her to clear out of the way and she tried to leave, but she ended up running straight into Angelo and almost fell. I caught her, and I actually felt the pup kick. And man can I say, my pup kicked hard,"

"Actually, that's not surprising," Kendrick said. "Sorry, I'm not trying to highjack your story, but when Mel was about three or four months pregnant, I remember I would always touch her belly, and Leighann would kick really hard. Almost as if she were reacting to my touch. I asked my dad about it and he said that the pup can feel the presence of their father when they're near and will react to their touch. Mel actually hated it because it would hurt her,"

"So, you're saying that even though I couldn't recognize Rylee, my pup recognized me?" I asked.

"Yeah," he replied with one word. I just nodded my head.

"Anywho, Svetlana and I went back to the hotel when she theorized that either the witch or Lorenzo would need to have a job to keep up with appearances, and I had remembered being stared at by one of the valet guys. I originally brushed it off, but after hearing what Svetlana had to say, I figured it was a good place to start, especially if they're all cloaked in disguises. Sure enough, I was right. The valet guy was Lorenzo, and Svetlana was able to see through the magical barrier shielding his identity. I got Lazarus to look into him, and he found that Lorenzo and the witch whose name is Olivia are living with their niece,"

"Rylee," they both said, and I nodded.

"When Lazarus sent me the dossier, I saw the picture of this said niece, and it was the same brunette from the convention. That's how I was able to confirm it was Rylee," I turned my computer around to show them what Rylee looked like right now. "Damn, that's a pretty good disguise," Kendrick said.

"Hold up," Jason said taking a closer look. "Does that say her name is Megan?"

"Yeah, she gave her alias her mother's name," I answered smiling.

"Okay, so tell us why you haven't gone to get her if you know where she is and who she is?" Kendrick asked.

"Because right now everyone thinks I still have no memory of her. If I try to get Rylee back too soon, we will lose the advantage we have over Layla and Halfmoon," they both nodded their heads. "Plus, I don't want to spook Rylee. As of right now, she has no idea I know where she is, and for right now, I want to keep it that way," "But didn't Svetlana say that you have to with her when she gives birth? Rylee just has over a month left in her term right?" he said to me.

"Yes, but this can't be rushed. When I do go get Rylee, I want to make sure that when I look her in the eyes, whether they're the green eyes of Megan or the chocolate eyes of Rylee, I want her to see that it's me, and the real me. The Wyatt she loved and lost because of that b***h Layla,"

"What do you have planned for Layla anyway?" Jason asked.

"I'm going to be with Rylee when she gives birth, but I'm going to take Dr. Andrews to her, and have her give birth outside of the pack. Then, when she's back to her old self, and she's ready to be with me again, I'm going to bring Rylee back in the form of her alias and claim her as my new chosen mate,"

"What? Wyatt, you're going to piss off a lot of people," Kendrick said.

"And what the hell are you going to do about your pup? You can't just bring in a new girl who happens to be a single mother," Jason said using finger quotes around 'new girl' and 'single mother'.

"Actually, I'm going to lie and say that I got Megan pregnant during the time I didn't remember Rylee,"

"Dude, that's going to piss off your parents,"

"I know it is, but I need to show Layla that no matter what happens in this universe, I will never make her my Luna,"

"What if that plan doesn't work? What if Rylee won't go along with it?" Jason asked.

"Then I let Rylee decide on what she wants to do. Either way, I'm not bringing Rylee back until after our pup is born. No one knows Rylee is pregnant except us, my parents, and a select few. Even Angelo and Michelle don't know Rylee is pregnant and I want to keep it that way. Rylee and our pup's safety is of the utmost importance, and I will be damned if anyone tries to hurt them or keep me from them. Plus, Rylee is still in danger with the vampire thing. I want her to stay hidden for as long as possible," "We got you man," Kendrick said.

"Yeah, we're behind 100%. As long as we get our Luna back along with the future of our pack safely, we don't care what she looks like," Jason added on.

"Remember, this stays between us, and Svetlana. No one else can know. And you two will not try and go find her. If she even senses either one of you, she's going to run,"

"Don't worry man, we got it," Kendrick answered.

After Kendrick and Jason left my office, Svetlana came in and I showed her the files that Lazarus sent me. She said that she would keep an eye on Rylee's progress with her pregnancy and would let me know the closer it got to her due date.

For the next two weeks, everything pretty much stayed the same, other than the fact that I finally went back to work. I realized that my office was closer to Rylee's condo, so I would drive by occasionally just to see if I could get a glimpse of her. And every so often, I did. I would see her on her balcony soaking up the sun with another woman who I assumed was Olivia. I tried my best not to go by too often since I didn't want to blow my cover.

Layla has been pestering me non-stop and still tries to get me to sleep with her. Melody and Milan have been trying their hardest not to kill Layla every time they catch her coming to my floor, or when they see us arguing. Svetlana has even said that Layla has been checking with her to see if the spell is still intact, which, Svetlana lies about. She still hasn't told me what her problem with Alessandro is, but she is definitely working with us, for now.

Melody and I finally had a talk, and she's finally forgiven me for what happened. Sierra apologized to Irene after getting settled in her new cottage, and Andrea's parents confronted me with my decision to banish their daughter. After they heard what she had done, they both understood but asked to be released from the pack so they could go track her down, which I granted. That was one thorn out of my hip.

With summer quickly approaching, and Rylee's due date only about two weeks away, my plan to win her back was going to be in play faster than I realized, and I was soon going to have to reveal myself to Rylee.

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

The last couple of weeks have gone by without incident, but I couldn't help but feel as if someone were watching me. I did my best to shake off my paranoia, thinking that it was just my nerves from that crazy premonition I had.

My pup has grown quite a bit. So much in fact, that Olivia had to use her magic to make it seem like I was smaller than I actually am when we went to the doctor for my last checkup. Thankfully, my pup is very and very active. He or she has definitely been more active on some days compared to others and I wasn't sure why. He or she always seemed to move around a lot in the mornings and at night on some days. Other days, he or she was just still and barely did anything.

I haven't spoken to William much after everything that has happened. I honestly don't know if I can trust him anymore since he constantly seems to be keeping information from me. Olivia says that he's apologetic, but I would rather he tell me to my face rather than her. Hell, I'd settle for him telling me through his thoughts, but even that's too much for his ego.

I was sitting in my room folding up baby clothes that I had just pulled out of the dryer when Olivia came into my room,

"Rylee?" I looked up from what I was doing. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm as large as a whale, how the hell do you think I'm feeling?" I snapped. Did I mention that hormones have gotten the better of me and Olivia and William both annoy me to no end?

"I'm not going to pretend I know how you feel, because I don't,"

"What do you want Olivia?"

"Have you had a chance to think about if you're going to call Grace or not? We're running out of time," I dropped my hands to my knees while holding one of the baby onesies. I knew I needed to hurry and make a decision to either call Grace or just go back to Blue Lake. I honestly didn't like either option and wished to the goddess that I could just live my life as a single mother at this point without all of the added drama, but knowing that the vampire will eventually find me, I needed my full powers, and that's what I hated the most.

I hated that my life was decided for me before I was even born. That was the one thing that I was constantly angry at. I hated that moon goddess, the higher powers, and William at that, decided my fate millenniums ago. I didn't ask for any of this, and neither did my wolf. We may not have asked for it Rylee, but it was a decision we made together. Remember, we had the option not to be who we are.

I know, and that's what I hate. The fact that we had a window of opportunity to be normal.

"No, Rylee, you didn't," I looked up and saw William. Since it was the weekend, he didn't have to go to work.

"What do you mean I didn't?" I asked him confused.

"You didn't have a choice or a window of opportunity to be normal," he said and sat down on the bed next to me. "Rylee, there are no pre-requisites to being what we are. You are born a Primordial, and you will always get your powers on the night of the full moon after your eighteenth birthday," "What? But Wyatt told me that..."

"It's not his fault. He was lied to. Whatever ancient text the elders gave Ronan was filled with lies. You don't have to mate or be marked before the full moon, or even have to shift under it. As my descendant, you are born with your powers. They are just dormant until the full moon after your eighteenth birthday,"

"Why would the elder's lie?"

"I don't think it was the elders' fault either. It's whoever wrote the text that twisted the facts. I don't think it was done in any ill will; nonetheless, you were never going to be normal," I scoffed at the fact that my life was indeed chosen for me before I was born. "Why?" "Why what?"

"Why me? Why did I have to be a Primordial. Why did the moon goddess and the other higher powers choose me? Why am I ' the chosen one'!? My life has been one roller coaster after another after my family was killed. My family kept me grounded and I was loved not just by parents, but by my nana, and the rest of the pack. I was this annoying little stick of dynamite, and my life was damn near perfect. Why did Eric kill my parents!? Why did I become a slave?! Why did I have to find my true mate only to lose him for a second time!? Why!? WHY WILLIAM!? This is partially your fault! You're my ancestor! You're the reason I'm alive and going through all this bullshit! Had you not lied to me from day one, or should I say 'omitted the facts' as you and Olivia always like to f*****g say, I would be home right now!" I was crying at this point and I wasn't sure if it was from hormones, me being pissed off, or a combination of both.

"Rylee, I don't choose when my descendants are born, and if I had a choice, none of you would be born. I've been alive since before Christ was born, and I have seen all of my descendants perish. None were given the gift of immortality, or as I like to call it, a curse. If I had a say in any of this, none of you would have been born, because then none of your ancestors before you would have died the way they did. Males being thrown out of their packs, hunted by witches and other supernatural creatures for their powers, females with broken bonds that result in their ultimate demise because of that vermin Alessandro, and then there's you. The chosen one," he paused and looked at me with guilt, admiration, and what looked to be pride. "Rylee, if I had a choice in your lives, you never would have been born either. I would rather Alessandro suffer for eternity with never finding the bride he so desires than you see you have to go through any of this, but as I said, it's not my choice and I had no say in the matter,"

"None of that excuses the fact that you lied to me all this time. Why couldn't you just tell me upfront from the moment we met!?" I shouted at him. He couldn't answer and just hung his head.

"Rylee, Lorenzo did what he thought was best, and you honestly can't fault him for that. His whole life he has trained and built relationships with his descendants, and they all ended badly. He changed tactics with you to see if would be better..." "Does it look like it turned out any better!?" I shouted at her.

"You're right, it's not any better," William admitted. "Because of the fact that it's not any better has made me realize that I have no say in the matter whatsoever. I changed my tactics to try and keep you out of harm's way. As I said, I would rather Alessandro live eternity alone than ever know of your existence, which is why I never bothered telling you or Wyatt anything in detail, but I also never expected someone to rob him of his memories just as you conceived,"

"I get the feeling all of that was going to happen either way. You said so yourself, you only get premonitions when you're supposed to," I said to him and wiped away the stray tears. Damn hormones.

"Be that as it may, I think a lot of it had to do with the choices I made, and for that, I am sorry. I should have told you everything upfront, then maybe things wouldn't be the way are now, at least not as messed up the way they are. Rylee, you are like a daughter to me, and technically, you actually are, and I hate that things have turned out the way they have, but all we can do now is move forward, and be honest with each other, all three of us,"

"He's right Rylee, there is no use in crying over spilt milk. What's done is done. What happens from here on out depends on the choices we each make, and the first choice you need to hurry and make is what you're going to do about calling Grace, or not," I just looked at her, hating the fact that this entire conversation led back to that. Sometimes I wondered if they say all these meaningful things just to try and sway my decision on something.

I thought about it for a minute or two, trying to decide would be the best course of action, but just as I made a decision, my pup kicked me and really hard.

"OW! SON OF A b***h!"

"Rylee, what's wrong?" Olivia asked.

"My pup just kicked me, and really hard! What the hell is wrong with you!?" I shouted down at my pup, and almost as if he or she was answering me, he or she kicked again and was moving all over the place. "What is wrong with you!?" I shouted again. I received an answer with a blow to my kidney or was it my spleen, I had no idea, but it hurt like a b***h. There was no denying that my pup already had super strength.

Just then, the doorbell rang making stop me complaining. The three of us looked at each other.

"Are you guys expecting anyone?" William asked us and we both shook our head.

"You?" Olivia asked and he shook his head. "Rylee, did you order something online?"

"I haven't ordered anything in over a month," I answered. The doorbell rang again.

"I'll get it," William walked out of the room and went to the door. As soon as I heard open, what I heard next made my heart stop,

"Where is she, Lorenzo!?"
