My Miracle Luna
Chapter 52

{Terrine's P.O.V.}

It's been a little over two months since I was banned from the castle, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never get a hold of Keaton. He officially changed his number and has put a permanent block on me. I could not believe this was happening. I was officially a single mother and had to work part-time cleaning other pack member's houses just so I could afford to buy food and clothes for Killian. I hated that I stooped so low in life, but I was going to swallow my pride for my son. Today was my day off, and I was surprised when I had a visitor at my door,

"So, this is where you were sent to," Sierra said when I opened the door. She and Andrea stood there with bags of food.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Just thought we would visit you, see how you're doing," Andrea answered.

"Since when the f**k do you two care about my wellbeing?"

"Oh, come on Terrine, just because you were a b***h to us when you were pregnant, doesn't mean we should ignore you now that you're alone," Sierra said. They both pushed their way in and put the bags of the food down on the kitchen. "We brought you some food, groceries, and some formula for Killian," Andrea said.

"Thanks,"

"So, how are you holding up?" she asked while she and Sierra put the groceries away.

"Shitty, but I'll live," I watched as they worked. "Can you tell me what Keaton has been up to?" they both stopped what they were doing and looked at me. "What?"

"Oh my goddess, you don't know," Sierra said.

"Don't know what?" they looked at each other and then back at me. "What!?"

"Terrine, you should really let him go. We get it, you love the guy, but he's moved on," Andrea said carefully.

"What do you mean he's moved on!? What? Did he find another she-wolf to f**k around with? Huh!? Who is it!? Is it someone we know!?"

"Girl, it's more complicated than that,"

"What is it!? Spit it out!"

"Terrine, Keaton found his mate," Sierra said. I couldn't believe what she just said. I couldn't have heard her right.

"What did you say?"

"Keaton, he found his mate. She lives with him in the castle and everything,"

"WHAT?!?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My screaming woke Killian from his nap.

"Andrea, you handle this, I'll take care of your baby Terrine," she went to my room and closed the door.

"Andrea, this better be a f*****g joke!"

"Sorry, but it's not. They're always together,"

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Irene, she's eighteen and works as a nurse in the pack hospital with me. Keaton is always visiting her when he's not busy with Beta duties and training. They have lunch together almost every day, and they've marked each other," "He marked her?"

"And she marked him,"

"NO! NO! NO! How am I supposed to get him back!?!"

"You can't unless you kill her of course. But there is something else you should know,"

"What?"

"Well, as I said, Irene works in the pack hospital with me, and she's been working there ever since she turned 18,"

"Your point?"

"My point is that I've seen her every day for the last few months, and I saw without her mark when she started, and when she got her mark,"

"Again, your point? You already said Keaton marked her,"

"Ah, but it's when he marked her that's the important point,"

"What?"

"Terrine, Irene was marked BEFORE you had Killian," I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

"Are you telling me that Keaton found his mate BEFORE he found out Killian wasn't his!?!"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, at least a week before," I was so angry that I couldn't even talk. I was huffing and puffing, seething in pure rage. "Oh, and just so you know, Irene had been taking weird lunch breaks for a least a few months, and she always came back smelling like someone else,"

"What? Are you saying that she and Keaton were mating behind my back!?! While I was pregnant!?"

"It seems that way,"

"But he never smelled like anyone else!? His scent never changed,"

"Well, he may have found a way to mask her scent then, but it doesn't change the fact that Keaton found his mate, months before you gave birth,"

"This explains everything. His sudden change in behavior, how he stopped caring about the baby, how he despised me even more than he ever had, why he started to hate Killian, it was that b***h Irene. She changed him. She got in the way of my happiness!!" "Rumor also has it, she's the reason he got a paternity test done," "WHAT?!"

"I overheard a conversation between the two them about a month ago, and he was thanking her for convincing him to get it done. That had she not questioned you and your bitchiness towards everyone, that he would have been stuck with someone he hated more than the devil himself,"

"Who is she!? What the f**k does she look like!? I'M GOING TO f*****g KILL HER!!" Andrea took out her phone and showed me a picture.

"This is the latest nurses photo we took, see the young girl to the left with the red hair? That's Irene, she's Keaton's mate," the girl she was showing me looked so familiar. Where had I seen her before? She had to be one of the girls that always flirted with Keaton when he and I were together. She took away my happiness, she took away the life I was supposed to have with Keaton. She took away my son's father. I was not going to rest until I found her and killed her for taking everything from me. {Wyatt's P.O.V.}

I was at the office today getting ready for a convention coming up during the weekend at one of the higher-end hotels in the city. I honestly wanted to pull out of the convention, unfortunately, my company is one of the main vendors, and these conventions are a great way to bring in customers and contracts with other vendors and companies.

*BEEP*

"Yes?"

"Mr. Valencia, the car is ready for you outside,"

"Thank you, tell Angelo I'll be right down," I grabbed everything that I needed and headed out. As much as I wanted to spend my time looking for Rylee, I knew I had other responsibilities as a CEO, and I also had faith that Felix and his trackers would eventually find some sort of clue of where she could be.

As I made my way down, all I could think about was if Rylee were safe and happy wherever she was and that our pup was growing healthily inside of her. Based on the timing, Rylee would be just about three months now. I prayed to the moon goddess we found her before she gave birth. I wanted nothing more than to be there when she did. But I knew that I didn't deserve it, not after the way I treated her.

The elevator door opened, and I walked out of the lobby and found my team ready to go.

"Good morning," I say to them.

"Good morning, Mr. Valencia," a few of my team members were also pack members, but the majority of them were humans.

"I will see you all at the convention. All of you know where we are setting up?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Make sure to valet your cars, and the company will reimburse the valet fee for the duration of the convention,"

"Thank you, Mr. Valencia,"

"Let's head out, and all of you drive safe," they all nodded their heads and went towards the parking garage while I went out front to meet Angelo. "Alpha," he bowed his head.

"Angelo let's get going," he nodded his head as he opened the back door for me. The drive to the convention only took about twenty minutes which left my team and me at least two hours to get the booth ready. Angelo dropped me off at the front where I saw some of my team already handing off their keys to the valet.

"Mr. Valencia, do you want us to keep the stubs for the valet and give them to Miranda after the weekend?" one of my designers asked.

"Yes, keep your copy of the stubs along with any receipts," I tell her. As I passed by the valet booth, one of the valet guys gave me a blank stare, and if I weren't a werewolf, I would have missed it. I brushed it off because it wasn't the first time people have stared at me and went inside with my team to get set up for the start of the convention.

{Rylee's P.O.V.}

Olivia and I had got to the convention early, and some of the booths were still being set up. I was in awe of this hotel because of how large it was. I was even more surprised to see a bunch of machines that were making a lot of noise, and people were screaming at tables that had cards all over the place. I had fun just people watching. Humans were very excited about these machines, and I could see them throwing money everywhere.

"Celeste, what is this?"

"This is called a casino,"

"I thought this was a hotel?"

"It's both, sweetie. You see, people bet their money and if they win at the game, they either win their money back or even more money in return,"

"Do people win all the time?"

"Oh goddess no, people lose at least 85% of the time," I looked at her like she was crazy and back the people just throwing their money away. I shook my head not understanding the concept. "What are these machines?"

"Those are called slot machines. They're kind of like games, but you play with your money, and again, you tend to lose more than you win,"

"Can I try?"

"No, you can't sweetie. You have to be 21 to gamble,"

"Oh, okay," I frowned. We walked around a little bit more and looked at all of the booths that were being set up. A lot of them had models set up of buildings, swimming pools, houses, and some even had designs of cars. "Megan, Wayne just texted me to meet him, are you going to be okay by yourself?"

"I'll be fine Celeste," Olivia smiled and went to go meet William. I walked around to all of the booths that were set up and talked to a few people. A lot of people asked me about my pregnancy, and someone even tried to touch me which I took a lesson from Olivia and kindly asked them not to.

After walking around for about forty-five minutes, my feet were starting to hurt, so I sat down at an empty table. I leaned back in the seat and rubbed small circles around my stomach and felt my pup kick. I smiled at the feeling and closed my eyes. I didn't realize how long I had been sitting there until someone tapped me on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and found a woman staring at me,

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, but you can't sit here,"

"I can't?"

"This is the table for our booth,"

"Oh, I'm so sorry," I said and quickly stood up. She took one look at me and her face immediately became apologetic.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't realize you were pregnant, please excuse me for my rudeness,"

"It's fine, please, no need to apologize,"

"No, no, please sit back down," she said and took my arm guiding me back to the chair. "I was in your shoes once, believe me, I know what it's like for your feet to hurt," she said sympathetically.

"Thank you," I smiled and got comfortable again.

"How far along are you?"

"About six months," I replied.

"Do you know what you're having?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise," I replied and just stared at her.

"Is everything okay?" she asked me when she saw me staring.

"You haven't tried to touch my stomach,"

"Oh my goodness, I would never do that. Don't you just hate it when random people just want to touch your stomach all because you're pregnant,"

"Oh my god, thank you! You're the only person that seems to understand how that feels!" I exclaimed.

"As I said, I was in your shoes not too long ago, so I know exactly how you feel. Now you rest, and my team and I can set up around you for the time being,"

"Thank you, truly,"

"It's no problem at all," I smiled and let out a deep sigh and rested my head against the back of the chair again. I could hear people working around me, and the woman explaining to them that I was pregnant, and they seemed to be more than okay with it. I closed my eyes again, and just concentrated on my pup. He or she was very restless and was kicking more than normal, and one point, he or she kicked me hard, making my eyes jolt open, but then they did, I was met with the most stunning teal eyes and immediately Kaleigh started to stir,

MATE! It's our mate!

"Miss are you okay?" he asked me. I couldn't answer I was in so much shock. Wyatt was right in front of me. He was just as handsome as ever. Seeing in front me of like this had to be a dream. This had to be a dream. There was no way in hell Wyatt was in front of me like this.

"Sir, is everything alright?" I heard another familiar voice. I looked behind Wyatt and I saw Angelo. Oh god, this wasn't a dream.

"Miss are you okay?" Wyatt asked me again.

"Fine, I'm perfectly fine," I finally answered.

"Are you sure, you seemed to be in pain a second ago,"

"It's nothing, my baby, my baby just kicked me really hard," I replied. Wyatt's eyes went down to my belly, and I could have sworn I saw guilt and longing in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" he asked me, and I just nodded my head. "I'm sorry to have to do this, but we really need this seat back,"

"It's fine, I'm all rested now," I said and stood up. Wyatt immediately reached his hand to help me, but I flinched,

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I just wanted to help you to your feet," I gave him a small smile as he helped me stand. Of course, Wyatt is being nice to me, he doesn't realize that it's me. He thinks I'm just some pregnant brunette and not his ex-mate. This isn't fair, I want to speak to Blade.

Stop it, Kaleigh. Our bond with them is broken. Wyatt and Blade don't love us anymore. Remember, you said so yourself. That's why we left.

She whimpered in the back of my mind and settled down.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Wyatt asked me.

"I'm fine, thank you," I said and turned to leave, but I turned so suddenly that I had forgotten Angelo was there and bumped right into him knocking me down.

"Whoa, careful," I felt a pair of strong arms holding me and the smell of fresh rain immediately flooded my senses. Feeling Wyatt's arms around me made my heart beat a million miles a minute and it felt like it was going to burst. What I give to be able to in Wyatt's arms like this again. For him to hug me, kiss me, love me again, but all those feelings were pushed down when I still didn't feel the sparks. Just then, my pup gave the hardest kick ever making me wince and slightly cry out. What the hell was up with my baby? With the way Wyatt was holding me, I knew he felt it too. I couldn't stop the stray tear that fell. I quickly wipe it away hoping no one saw it, and gently pushed Wyatt away.

"I'm sorry, I can be such klutz sometimes," I say and straighten myself. Wyatt looked at me, and then down at belly and I knew he felt the pup kick.

"Do you need help finding your husband?" Wyatt asked.

"Oh, I'm not married,"

"Are you here with anyone? The father of your baby perhaps?"

"No, he's not in the picture. I left him because he hurt me," I answered. "I came with my aunt. I really should go look for her. Thank you for catching me, and I'm sorry if I was in the way," I quickly turned and went to go find Olivia. I needed to get out of here. I needed to get away from Wyatt. Seeing him, having him touch me, smelling his scent brought, and knowing that he felt his pup kick brought on so many emotions, I thought I was going to explode.

I couldn't stop the tears that started free falling from my eyes as I tried to find Olivia. Thankfully, I didn't have to look far, as she found me instead,

"Oh my goddess, there you are," she said. "We have to go, Renz just told me that..."

"Wyatt's here," I interrupted.

"You already saw him,"

"I didn't just see him, I talked to him, he touched me, and I felt his arms around me. This is too much, I want to go home,"

"Okay, okay, let's go get the car and I'll take you home," Olivia helped me get outside and William went to go get the car for us. He immediately knew that Olivia found me too late and that I had already had my run-in with Wyatt. Even though Wyatt couldn't recognize me, it still hurt seeing him. By the time William brought the car around, I was a mess and couldn't stop crying. Thankfully, Olivia was able to tell people it was pregnancy hormones to which everyone was understanding.

I cried the entire ride home. I didn't think that seeing Wyatt would make me so emotional, but after not seeing him for two months, and him seeing me pregnant, feeling his touch, hearing his voice, and smelling his scent was just too much to hand all at once. I had cried so hard, that Olivia had to practically carry me up to our condo. Thank the heavens for elevators.

When we got inside the condo, I had cried everything out of my body and had no strength left. Olivia helped me out me of my clothes and into something more comfortable and laid me down in my bed. I was so exhausted that I couldn't stop myself from falling asleep, only the sleep was going to be anything but peaceful.
