My Miracle Luna
Chapter 98

{Wyatt's

P.O.V.}

I knew that eventually, the truth would get out, and we would have to explain to the Rylee clone what was going on, but low-key, I was hoping that all of this would just blow over and Svetlana could get rid of her without her ever finding out, but unfortunately, that's not the case here. I should know better than to wish for things to go the way I want them, but I'm a guy, that never works out.

So, here I am, in my office with the Rylee clone staring daggers at me. They've been back for a total of five minutes, and instead of me being able to be happy that they all returned practically unscathed, Rylee walked past me and went straight to my office and Megan went to the pack hospital with Olivia to try and see what she can do to save Dianna from turning to dust. The tension in the castle was ridiculous, but according to Milan, the tension that was on the jet was even worse. "Well, I'm waiting for an explanation!" Rylee shouted breaking me from my train of thought. I'm on my own in this. I bit the inside of my cheek and was mentally kicking myself for ever having suggested Svetlana make a clone. "I honestly don't know what to say, Rylee,"

"How about the truth!"

"Okay, give me a starting point,"

"Why do people think I'm a clone?"

"Because you are," I answered honestly without hesitation. Her facial expression was to be expected. "You were made from the real Rylee's DNA which is why you have her powers or at least some of them," "What do you mean by the real Rylee!?"

"Megan,"

"What!?"

"Megan is the real Rylee Duquesne, but in a magical disguise,"

"You're lying," she said in disbelief

"I wish I were, but I'm not. I had a dark witch create a clone of Rylee, in this case, you, because I thought it was a good idea at the time,"

"Say I believe you, and whatever bullshit this is, why? Why did you want a clone?"

"Honestly?" she nodded. I sat up straight and took a deep breath. "I figured that if Alessandro ever came looking for Rylee, he would find you instead, and take you," her eyes widened in horror at my brutal honesty. "W-wh-what!?!" she exclaimed. "Are you telling me that I was supposed to be kind of sacrifice!?!"

"For lack of a better term, yes," I answered, and she scoffed tears forming in her eyes. Did I feel bad that my honesty was hurting her? Yes. Do I feel like a d**k for coming up with this plan? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably. "How am I supposed to believe you? You don't even have all of your memories of us! I came back and you still don't remember anything!" "Rylee, that's not true," "What?"

"I've had my memories back for months now. I got them back before Megan, or I should say the real Rylee gave birth to Sam," she furrowed her brows at me. "You were created months after she gave birth in her true form. Rylee, gave birth to Sam because she was pregnant when she left the pack,"

"What...Are...Are you saying...That..."

"Sam is the product of me and Rylee Duquesne, not Megan Campbell,"

"No, no, no, you're lying! I'm not a clone!" she screamed and cried.

"Rylee, have you noticed the fact that you don't have a wolf?" I asked and she stopped crying. "That's because Kaleigh, Rylee's wolf wasn't cloned, only the human counterpart was. That's why I came to the conclusion that even if had Alessandro taken you, he would have known you weren't real, and he would have come back for Megan, the real Rylee. I don't know what plan Svetlana concocted with you, because I wanted to be kept in the dark, but that was my plan, and it obviously was the wrong one," as I was talking she kept shaking her head and crying.

"I don't know a Svetlana!" she shouted.

"Right, you don't. You probably know her as Stephan," she looked at me with wide eyes. "Stephan is Svetlana in a magical disguise as well. Alessandro killed her clone, so she has been hiding out as a man until he was killed. Her creating a clone of herself is where I got the idea to create you, a clone of Rylee,"

"STOP! STOP! STOP! YOU'RE LYING!!!"

"I'm sorry, I wish I was, but I'm not, and I can prove it,"

"NO!! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!"

"Rylee, I am sorry, but everything I've said is the truth, and no matter how much you deny it, you know deep down inside what I've said thus far is the truth. I know you know that things haven't been right with us, your relationship with everyone else, the fact that I have a son with someone who 'supposedly' isn't my mate, you having no wolf, your memories only going back so far, and the fact that a small handful of pack members seem to be uncomfortable with you," she let out a small gasp at the final statement. "It's because they know the truth. They've known the truth and have been putting on an act since day one. Since the day I brought Megan and Sam home," I could see her face falter as it seemed she finally believed everything I was saying.

"So everything I felt for you...everything you felt for me... Was it all a lie?"

"No, it wasn't. I do love you, clone or not, you're as much as Rylee as the real Rylee is, but the fact of the matter is, you're a clone, and you can't stay,"

"What? Why?"

"Because Megan has to go back to being Rylee,"

"Why can't she just stay Megan, and I can stay me. You can have both of us,"

"As much as I would love that, believe me, I would, that wouldn't be fair to either one of you, especially you. You would never have all of me because I will always know that you're a clone," "This is so unfair! Why do I have to suffer because of your damn choices!?!"

"You're right, it is unfair, but life isn't fair. I don't know how far your memories go back, but if you know anything about being Rylee, then you would know that she has had a hard life compared to most people out there. She lost her parents, her pack, her childhood, and at one point she even lost me," she lowered her head, and I could see the tears falling like a waterfall. I went up to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry that my poor choices as an Alpha are going to cost you pain, but I want you to know that even though you're a clone, I love you, and it's because you were made from the woman that I love with every fiber of my being. I wish there were another way, but there isn't. You can't stay, but I promise, that everything you did while you were alive will always be remembered, by me, by Rylee, and everyone in the pack. I mean everyone," she lifted her head and looked at me. "I'm going to tell the entire pack the truth. Everything I've said to you here today will be reiterated to the entire pack. I may even be judged by the Elders for what I did, but I don't regret it, not for a second,"

"Why?"

"Because creating you allowed Megan and me to realize that Rylee is the true Luna of this pack. Not Megan. Even though I've marked her, as soon as she turns back into herself, into Rylee, her original mark will come back with her. You will live on because you were the reminder that we needed. I regret that my choices are hurting you, because even though you're a clone, you're still a living being, and you are my dearest, Rylee. But I promise, from the bottom of my heart, you, will not be forgotten," "Promise?"

"I promise," I kissed away her tears and gave her a passion-filled kiss. The kind of kiss that only a true mate can give to the woman he loves.

Once things were settled, I called Svetlana into my office, and she performed whatever ritual she needed to. As much as I didn't want to watch it, I had to for Rylee's sake. I was selfish one too many times in all of this, and I refused to be any more selfish by walking away when it was time to say goodbye to her.

{Megan's P.O.V.}

After we got back to the packhouse from Romania, my clone was upset to the point where she wanted to speak to Wyatt alone, so I let her. I had more important issues to deal with, and that was trying to find a way to save Dianna's life.

I went straight to the pack hospital and found Olivia had some kind of magical shield around her keeping her from turning to ash, but it was only helping so much. I could see parts of Dianna slowly fading away. But, what caught me off guard was the fact that Victor was in the hospital room with her.

"What the? Victor? What are you doing here?" I asked as I came into the room.

"Megan, Victor is Dianna's mate," Olivia said to me

"WHAT!?!" I exclaimed looking back at Victor. He had been with us for almost a year and has done so much for the pack. Being human, he could only do so much, but he was a great fighter and helped out around the packhouse even though he had moved into his cottage within the territory with his friends. I never thought in a million years that Victor would be mated to a vampire, let alone a vampire that looked like me.

"Megan, I'm trying really hard not to lose my mind right now," Victor said to me.

"What happened while we were gone?" I asked.

"After we were told that we could come out of hiding, Kelsey, the others, and I went around seeing what we could help with, but that's when Dianna here and I met. She immediately came onto me, and I freaked out because I thought she was you," "Oh..." "Yeah, so imagine my surprise when tells me her name is Dianna and that she's vampire,"

"Victor, I..."

"You don't have to apologize. I've lived amongst the supernatural long enough to know s**t happens for a reason and that things can easily be explained but not easily believed," I bit my bottom lip. "Just please, tell me you can save her,"

"I'm going to try, but I need you to leave the room, Victor," He nodded his head. He stood up, took one last look at Dianna who just smiled at him.

"Please, I want to get to know her if I really am her mate. I want what everyone else has," he whispered to me as he walked out. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. No pressure.

After Victor left the hospital room, I turned back to face Dianna. She had a small smile on her face, but it seemed that every time she moved even a little, a little bit of her would fade away. I had to think quick, I had to find a way to save her. She was never supposed to be a part of this. She was merely in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now her life hangs in the balance.

"How do I save her?" I ask William.

"I honestly don't know," he answered. I looked at him. "Rylee, why do you think you can save her?" he asked me

"I...I honestly have no idea. I just feel that I can. I mean, I'm the chosen one aren't I? You said it yourself I should have all of the powers that come with being a Primordial, the Primordial, so wouldn't that include the power of bringing back someone from the dead?" "In theory, yes, but I don't even have that power, so I wouldn't know how to use it," I slumped my shoulders and looked back at Dianna. How was I going to help her? Why did I believe that I could?

Because we can, I can feel it.

Kaleigh? What are you saying?

Rylee, we have the power of resurrection. I can feel it, but this power cannot be used in vain.

That's the same with all of our powers

No, this is different. This power can be taken away if used with greed. This power is one that no one else will ever have. Not even Sam.

I thought about what Kaleigh said and that hit hard. Knowing that one of our powers could be taken from us if it were ever misused. Hopefully saving an innocent person like Dianna wouldn't be considered a misuse of power. Kaleigh, we have to save her. She's innocent in all of this.

I agree with you.

How do we do it?

Turn her.

What!? Kaleigh, we can't turn another supernatural, even I know that! She'll die!

But we're not an ordinary werewolf, remember. We're special.

I gulped at what she said and stared at Dianna with wide eyes. I've never once considered turning her. Could injecting her with werewolf venom really be the key?

Do it, before it's too late, Rylee!

I took a deep breath and let it out to calm my nerves. If there was one being in this world that I trust more than Wyatt, it was my wolf. Kaleigh has been there for me since the day I turned 18, and she never once left me. Even with everything that happened within the last year of our lives, Kaleigh has been my best friend and is more than just my wolf. She's my family.

"Olivia, let me pass through the shield," I tell her. She creates an opening, and I walk through it. "Drop my cloak, I need to do this as Rylee," Dianna gave me a weird look and Olivia dropped my disguise. Dianna's eyes widened in shock. "That's right, Dianna, I'm the real Rylee. I'm the Primordial that Alessandro was after. That's why I told you I wasn't the person you thought I was when I was Megan. It was a magical disguise, and the Rylee you saw the other day was a magical clone created by the dark witch Svetlana," "Wow, and I thought my turning into dust was some crazy s**t," she replied.

"Dianna, I can save your life, but it comes with a price,"

"What price?"

"You'll see, but I think it's for the best, and I'm certain that you will still be mates with Victor," she smiled and nodded slightly, and another small bit of her turned to ash.

"Rylee, do you know what you're doing?" William asked.

"No, but it's all I've got," I answer. I gently push away Dianna's hair and lean down to her neck. "Dianna, this may hurt, but I promise, I'm trying to save you," she nodded, and before any more of her faded, I quick bit down as hard I as could and prayed to the moon goddess and the powers that be that this was the answer to saving her life, and giving Victor a second chance at love.
