My Miracle Luna
Chapter 49

{Wyatt's

P.O.V.}

I felt like my entire world was surrounded by darkness, and I couldn't find any light to lead the way. I was stumbling and falling, and I had no idea where I was. I knew I was in some kind of forest, or the woods because everything I touched felt like a tree, and twigs and leaves were crunching beneath my feet. I kept walking forward, but it wasn't of my choice, it was like something was almost guiding me.

After what felt like hours of walking, I saw a small light ahead. I wanted to go towards it, but my body wasn't going in that direction, it was going in another. I was heading towards more darkness. I didn't want to go in that direction, I wanted to go towards the light. I pushed my body in the direction towards the light, but it felt as if something was preventing me from going that way. I wasn't going to give up, I needed to go towards the light, the light meant something good, didn't it?

I willed my body, and finally, I was moving towards the light, and the closer I got, the brighter it became. I closed my eyes to keep myself from being blinded, and then I felt someone tugging on my eyelid,

"Alpha? Can you hear me?" I heard a voice. "He's responsive, but I think he's having trouble opening his eyes," the voice said again.

"Well, he's alive, now I can f*****g kill him for real!" someone shouted.

"Kendrick, stop it!" a woman shouted.

"Alpha, can you hear me?"

"Yes, f**k, what is that light?" I finally grumbled. The light was removed, and I finally saw people in front of me. "Mom? Dad?" "Oh, sweetheart, are you okay?"

"No, I feel like s**t," I said and tried to get up.

"Not so fast, Alpha, your body is weakened, and you need to save your strength," I looked to my right and saw Dr. Andrews.

"What happened to me?" I asked holding my hand to my head.

"What's the last thing you remember?" my father asked.

"Uhhhh..."

"f**k what he remembers last," Kendrick said. "Do you remember who Rylee is?"

"I remember you guys telling me that she's my mate,"

"f**k," Kendrick grunted. "You still don't remember anything about her?" I shook my head.

"Did she really leave?" I asked carefully.

"Yes, fucker! She really left!" Kendrick shouted.

"KENDRICK!" my mom yelled.

"What Aunt Grace?! Our Luna is gone because of this a*****e!" Kendrick shouted pointing at me when he said 'a*****e. My parents and Kendrick started to argue, then I remembered something, "She rejected me," they were still arguing and then paused.

"What!?" they all exclaimed.

"Rylee, when she left, she rejected me,"

"Hmmm... Now I understand why the Alpha was in pain and was coughing up blood," Dr. Andrews said. We all looked at him. "You see, even if the Alpha cannot remember the Luna, and his mark is in fact now gone, it doesn't change the fact that they had accepted each other, mated, and marked each other,"

"Sebastian, what are you saying?" my father asked him.

"Ronan, when mates complete the mating process, they are bound together, but just like if one were to have an affair, if one were to reject their mate after completing the mating process, the breaking of the bond could be enough to kill the other," "Are you saying that Rylee rejecting Wyatt caused enough pain as if she were to have cheated on him?" my mother asked. "That's exactly what I am saying, Grace,"

"And the Alpha wouldn't be the only one in pain, the Luna would have felt just as much pain, perhaps more because she was still marked," Doctor Andrews explained. Rylee was marked?

"Then why isn't she here in the hospital?" my father asked.

"Wait, what do you mean Rylee was marked?" I asked and everyone looked at me like I grew three heads.

"Son, Rylee is still marked,"

"What mark? I didn't see a mark on her,"

"Hold up, are you saying that every time you looked at Rylee, you didn't see your mark on her neck?!" Kendrick asked and I just shook my head. "f**k, whatever black magic was used to f**k with his memories must have made her mark invisible to him, or something," "That's something we will deal with later. Why isn't she here in the hospital with Wyatt if she went through the same amount of pain he did?" My dad asked again.

"Uncle Ronan, it's because of Rylee's ability to rapidly heal," Kendrick answered.

"What ability?" I asked him. Kendrick looked at me confused.

"Dude, you really don't remember s**t about her do you?" I just shook my head. "Wyatt, Rylee is a Primordial,"

"What?"

"That's why Lorenzo was here, he was here to train her. That's why we went to Italy, to find answers for Rylee and what she is. That's why you were researching about the vampire, it's all about Rylee!" I just stared at him blinking rapidly.

"Ronan, whatever happened to the Alpha in the week that he was missing, something or someone either erased or suppressed his memories of the Luna, and only the Luna. Anything and everything that had to do with her was stripped from him, even the visibility of her mark," Dr. Andrews said.

"I was right, it had to have been some kind of dark magic," Kendrick replied. "Wyatt, what do you remember the night of the accident, the night you went missing?"

"Ummm..." I thought back to that night. "I remember sending everyone home from the office early because of the blizzard coming into the city. I left an hour later than I should have and got caught in the blizzard. I knew I wanted to get home as fast as possible, I was excited to go home, but I can't remember why. But then, I remember hitting something, and my car spun out of control. The last thing I remember is the car over going the guard rail into the gorge," "Anything after that?" I shook my head.

"The only thing I remember is waking up and wandering the streets. I didn't know where I was until I saw a newspaper that had the date, and said that I was in Cleveland. Then, I was picked up U.S. Marshalls and brought back to Detroit,"

"So, you're not only missing memories of Rylee but that entire week you went missing," Kendrick said to me and I just nodded. At this point, it's the only thing that was making sense. No one said anything else, and there was an uncomfortable silence in the room. I used what little strength I had to prop myself up to sit straight, then broke the silence,

"Where's Rylee?"

"Gone," Kendrick answered,

"I get that, but where?"

"We have no idea!" he snapped at me. "I told you to quit treating her like s**t, but you didn't!"

"I didn't talk to her since the day you broke my door, Ken!"

"MY POINT EXACTLY!! You ignored her and pretended she didn't exist! Even if you believed that she wasn't your mate, it didn't give you the right to treat her as if she weren't a living person!" Kendrick's words really hit me hard because he was right. I treated Rylee like she was invisible, and in the end, that must have been the last straw for her. "You may not remember this Wyatt, but Rylee was a child slave," I looked at him and my eyes were as wide as they could be.

"What?"

"Yeah, she was a child slave Wyatt. Don't you remember going to Halfmoon for the Alpha's meeting and Ash's Alpha ceremony?" "Yeah, I do,"

"Well, that's where you and I found Rylee. She was their house slave and had been there for eight years," "But I don't remember her being there,"

"Son," I looked at my dad who got my attention. "Do you remember this?" he handed me a photo.

"Yeah, that's when you and I went to Silver Lake to talk to Uncle Mitch," I answered looking at the photo.

"So, you remember Mitch and Megan?" I nodded my head. "Wyatt, the child in the photo, do you remember her?" I looked at the photo and I was holding a young girl. She was kissing my cheek, and I was smiling, and big. I just looked at my dad and shook my head. "I don't remember taking the photo though. I don't remember the girl, or why she's kissing my cheek, or why I look so happy about it,"

"Wyatt, that's Rylee when she was ten years old, right before her pack was slaughtered," my mother said.

"What?" I looked back down at the photo and saw the resemblance.

"Son, that's also the day you realized that Rylee was your mate and that you vowed to wait for her to turn of age so you could claim her," my dad said.

"This doesn't make any sense, I don't remember taking this photo or the girl. I do remember going to Silver Lake though. I remember I was 18, and it was right before you gave me the pack dad, and right before Silver Lake was slaughtered by Halfmoon," was Rylee really part of my life for this long? Did someone actually f**k with my head and remove precious memories of me and my mate? Just then, my mother handed me another photo,

"Wyatt, this is a photo from when you were eight years old," she said to me. I looked down at the photo and it's me holding a baby. "Sweetheart, that's Rylee the day after she was born," I looked at her and then back at the photo. "I don't remember this one either,"

"Do you remember going to Silver Lake when you were younger?" she asked.'

"Yeah, I do remember one time you taking me because dad was busy with the company, and Aunt Meg had just had her baby, so you wanted to go visit her,"

"That's right Wyatt, and that baby was Rylee, Mitch and Megan were Rylee's parents," she said to me. I looked at her completely confused. Even memories of knowing Rylee before we were even mates were gone? How could this be possible?

"Wyatt," I looked at Kendrick. "Rylee wanted me to give you this," he handed me an envelope and a jewelry box. "We'll leave you to read it in private. Just mind link me when you're ready to talk," I nodded my head and they all left closing the door behind them. I sat up a little more and opened the envelope.

To my Prince Charming,

Wyatt, I don't even know where to begin. I've never written a letter to anyone, so I hope that my handwriting is alright. I'm leaving Wyatt. I'm leaving you and our pack. I can't take it anymore. I can't take the hurt, the pain, and the hate. I never thought there would come a day where you would hate me so much, but I guess all good things must come to an end. I love you so much Wyatt, and it pains me to have to write this letter to you. I don't think I could face you and tell you to your face that I'm leaving. Seeing your beautiful teal eyes and handsome face would prevent me from taking this step to protect myself and our unborn child. That's right Wyatt, I'm pregnant, and yes, you are the father. I never thought I would end up a single mother, especially since our bond was so strong, but I guess I was wrong.

I don't know what happened to you Wyatt, and I wanted to be strong, and wait for you to get your memory back, but when I saw you flirting with other she-wolves, and pretending as if I was invisible, that was the final straw for me. I wanted to wait and forgive you for everything because I know that this isn't the real you. Even when you choked me and tried to kill me, I knew that it wasn't you and that whatever happened in the week that you were missing is what caused all of this. But instead of believing our family and friends that I was your mate, you treated me worse than how I was treated at Halfmoon. At least there, I was acknowledged as a living person, even if I was beaten and starved all the time. The pain from eight years of abuse and slavery isn't nearly as painful as the pain I was going through when the love of my life treated me as if I didn't exist.

I don't hate you, Wyatt, I love you more than any person in this world, but I can't raise my pup in a home where his or her father would act as if he or she didn't belong to him. As a mother, that's something I couldn't bear to see. I don't know if or when you will ever get your memories back Wyatt, but if you do, don't blame yourself for my leaving. I know that this isn't your fault. I love you, Wyatt. I love you so much, and it hurts knowing that this is the end of us. The end of our love. A love that barely began. These last four and a half months with you have been wonderful, and I've never felt happier. But as I said, all good things come to an end.

I'm giving back the Christmas gift you gave me because I don't think I could ever wear it again. It's too painful to look at, let alone wear.

Goodbye Wyatt.

Love always and forever,

Rylee

There was a kiss stain at the end of the letter and tear stains throughout. What caught me off guard were the fresh tear stains that were being made from my own tears. I was crying reading a letter from a woman I didn't even know.

I put the letter down and opened the box. Inside was a rose gold necklace with a charm. It had the initials WV and RD at either end of an infinity symbol. Within the top of the box was a folded piece of paper. When I unfolded it, I couldn't stop the tears. It was a photo of an ultrasound. I fisted the necklace in my hand and held it to my heart. Even if I didn't remember her, reading her letter, seeing the necklace, and the photo of the ultrasound made me realize that she was my mate and the pack's Luna, and now it's too late. My mate, our Luna, and my unborn child were gone.
