My Miracle Luna
Chapter 59

{Keaton's

P.O.V.}

When I got the mind link from Angelo that Andrea had basically kidnapped Irene from the hospital, I knew immediately Terrine found out about her and sent that b***h Andrea to do her bidding since she wasn't allowed near the castle anymore. I should have known that Irene wouldn't be safe for very long. My suspicions were confirmed when Irene finally reached out to me via mind link and told me that Andrea was dragging her to towards Terrine's cottage. Maddox and I were in pursuit in wolf form because it would be faster. Thankfully, since they were in human form, we caught up to them quickly, and I made sure to let my girl know she wasn't alone. I wanted to make sure that we caught everyone in the act so no one would try and wriggle their way out of this. Terrine had some f*****g nerve trying to come after Irene knowing she's already on thin ice with the paternity crap. Let's not forget the fact that this crazy b***h murdered my mother.

When we made it to Terrine's cottage, we slowed down and hid by a nearby tree downwind. I made sure to mind link my brother,

Bro, where are you?

We're around the corner of the cottage, we can see everything.

Have someone record what they're doing. We can't let anyone try and fake their way out of this. I'll be damned if any of those bitches get away with trying to hurt my mate!

I got you covered little brother. Hugo is using his phone and is uploading the feed live to the pack's cloud that only ranked members can access.

I sighed out in relief when he said that. Now, no one could alter the feed or try and fake their innocence. Maddox and I watched from our hiding spot as Terrine and Irene started to fight back forth. I was already on edge with this kidnapping attempt, but what really irked me and Chase the wrong way was when Terrine had the nerve to give Irene a backhanded slap. I wanted so badly to go over and wring her neck, but we needed more to implicate the others who were there. I knew one was Andrea, and I think the other's name was Sierra. All of them used to hang out with Melody, Michelle, and Layla. The fact that my brother's and Angelo's mates used to be friends with this psycho is beyond me.

"YOU!!! THAT LITTLE SLUT THAT WAS FLIRTING WITH HIM!!" Terrine shouted. I'm guessing she finally remember where she first met Irene.

"I wasn't flirting with anyone you psychotic b***h! I was getting a f*****g drink!" Irene defended, which was true actually, but of course, Terrine and her f****d up way of thinking would never let herself believe that.

"Don't lie to me. You knew then, didn't you! You knew you were his mate and you were trying to stake your claim on him in front of me!!" Terrine shouted and then grabbed Irene by the collar of her shirt. My anger was starting to get the best of me the more I watched their altercation.

"I was only 17 back then! I didn't know him at all! But thanks to you, and your over-controlling nature, Kendrick, Milan, and Keaton apologized to me on your behalf, and that allowed Keaton to feel drawn to me, he reached out to me first!" Irene shouted back. My girl could definitely cold her own.

"HE WOULD NEVER! HE WAS WITH ME! WE WERE HAVING A BABY TOGETHER!" Terrine screamed. We didn't need werewolf hearing to hear her. That's how loud she screamed.

"YOUR SON DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TO KEATON!! You were already at least two weeks pregnant before sleeping with Keaton, which means, your son belongs to another pack member, or perhaps your actual mate!" Irene deflected. Actual mate? Did Terrine have an actual mate?

"KEATON IS MY MATE!! AND I'M HIS!! YOU'RE NOTHING! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SLUT WHO MANIPULATED HIM! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY HE GOT A PATERNITY TEST DONE!" Oh s**t, this was not going to be good.

"YOU'RE RIGHT! I AM!" Irene admitted. f**k, his was bad, this was very f*****g bad. Irene went on about how Terrine's actions that night they first met was what made her question everything, plus the fact that I had told her that Terrine wasn't my mate. f**k, Irene was letting everything out, and I couldn't blame her. Irene went on about how most females don't get pregnant unless it's from their mate, which is why she was suspicious from day one.

"SHUT UP!!! SHUT THE f**k UP!!!!" Terrine screamed at the top of her lungs. I couldn't see Irene's face, but knowing my girl, she was not going to back down, and I'm sure she had a smug look on her face. She kept going on why she had her suspicions, that we claimed each other, and how she convinced me to the test done. "YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!!! KEATON LOVED KILLIAN!! YOU TOOK MY PUP'S FATHER AWAY FROM HIM!!!"

"YOU DID THAT YOURSELF! YOU TOOK YOUR PUPS FATHER AWAY FROM HIM WHEN YOU LIED ABOUT THE PATERNITY AND TRIED TO TRAP KEATON!!" I watched as Terrine's anger was getting the best of her, and I knew this was going to end very badly. "Maddox, we need to go!" I whispered in a shout and we both shifted back into our wolves.

“AHHH!!! I'M GOING TO f*****g KILL YOU!!! KEATON IS MINE!! DO YOU HEAR ME! HE.IS.MINE!!!" Terrine screamed and sure enough, she started to shift into her wolf. Maddox and I ran from our hiding spot, and Chase was f*****g on a rampage. We were a few yards away, but it felt like a few miles. I could see Terrine trying to shift, but Andrea and Sierra grabbed her holding her down. Terrine got ready to pounce, and I knew I had to stop her. I don't know where it came from, but Chase let out the fiercest roar I had ever heard since I gained him. Which hasn't been very long since I'm barely going to be 20.

The growl alone shook the ground, and it made everyone stop in their place, especially Terrine. She froze in her spot and I sent her a mind link,

YOU MUST HAVE A f*****g DEATH WISH!!

Without letting her responded, I shifted back. Maddox stayed in wolf form and growled at Andrea and Sierra who let go of Irene in fear. Irene got to her feet and walked over to me. I instantly put my arms around her,

"Baby, are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine, you have some impeccable timing," I smirked and kissed her forehead. I heard a growl of pure jealousy and I look over at Terrine's wolf and glared at her.

"Shift!" I commanded her. Even though my brother is the rightful Beta of the pack, I still have Beta blood in my veins, but that didn't stop her from defying me. "SHIFT BACK NOW!" I growled at her, but she didn't budge. Damn, this b***h had big brass balls. "AS BETA OF THIS PACK I ORDER YOU TO SHIFT BACK!!!" came by brother's unmistakable Beta tone. He rarely ever has to use it, but when he did, holy f**k, he could be scary. Unfortunately for Terrine, hearing the command from the actual Beta, she had no choice but to submit, so she finally shifted back. "Owen!" my brother called out. Owen immediately threw me a pair of shorts and a blanket Terrine's head. She didn't even bother covering herself. What the f**k did I see in her to make me want to f**k her? Seriously, she had no curves. I mean, her boobs were alright, but that was about it. Her a*s was flat, and she had a squared shaped body.

"You have some f*****g nerve hiring your little pack of sluts to kidnap my mate, and bring her to you," I say her gritting my teeth. I could see the anger in Terrine's eyes as she was practically staring swords at Irene, who was staring them right back. "Owen, Hugo, take Andrea and Sierra back to the castle and place them in solitary confinement!" my brother ordered.

"WAIT! NO! BETA! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Sierra shouted as Hugo grabbed her.

"LET ME GO! THIS IS TERRINE'S FAULT!" Andrea shouted as Owen grabbed her.

"If I were the two of you, I'd shut your f*****g mouths!" My brother shouted. "We have everything on camera, and the feed has already been sent to the Alpha!"

"BETA! WE ONLY DID WHAT TERRINE TOLD US TO DO!!" Sierra screamed.

"I SAID SILENCE!!" he roared again. f**k, thank the goddess I was never on his bad side. Sierra lowered her head and started to sob, but Andrea was staring daggers at my brother. This b***h was just as stupid as Terrine. "What are you waiting for!? I said take them!?" he shouted at Owen and Hugo. "YES, BETA!" they dragged the girls the car and drove off.

"Terrine, Terrine, Terrine," my brother start to tsk at her. "You know, I was hoping I wouldn't have to see your face again, especially after what you tried to do to my baby brother," I scoffed when he called me that. I saw him lift his gaze, but I just whistled it off and looked at Irene. "But I guess you're too stupid to stay out of trouble. You see, I don't take kindly to pack members breaking the inter-pack rules, and our laws, after all, I am the Beta, it's my job to make sure the laws are being followed. I also can't stand it when someone tries to get in the way of the mate bond because they think that they're above the moon goddess. But what I can't stand the most, and what really makes my blood boil is when someone tries to hurt the people I care about," he said really close to her face. "Especially, when that person is a family member," I knew for a fact that he was talking about mother at that point, but he was cryptic with her.

"Tell me Terrine, what the f**k did you expect to accomplish by attacking Irene?" I asked her. "If thought that by getting rid of her would make go back to you, you're stupider than I thought. I didn't want you even when I did think your baby was mine, what the f**k made you think I would want you, knowing that he isn't,"

"YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT IF WASN'T FOR THAT b***h!!!" she screamed pointing at Irene.

"Wrong," my brother replied. "He would have because Melody and I already suspected you were lying, and when we saw your pup had blonde hair, we knew without the paternity test, but it wasn't our place to say anything, at least not at the time, and there's the whole scent thing that my Angel caught on to,"

"IT WASN'T YOUR BUSINESS!!!" she screamed at him

"Anything that has to do with my brother is my business! Especially when a lying selfish conniving w***e like you is trying to trap him and gain your pup a ranked title!" he shouted in her face. Making her flinch.

"I'm warning you Terrine, if you EVER, try to hurt Irene again, I will not hesitate to kill you and make Killian an orphan!!" I shouted at her. She gave me the evilest stare, but it didn't faze me.

"Don't think this won't go unreported to the Elders Terrine," my brother told her. "I'm officially placing you on house arrest until Wyatt and Elders decide your punishment. Whether that's banishment or death is up to them," "AND WHAT ABOUT MY SON!?! YOU'RE GOING TO ALLOW AN INNOCENT BABY BECOME A ROGUE!?!"

"Don't even try to guilt-trip us with the innocence of your pup. If you really cared about his wellbeing, your a*s would have stayed quiet, but no. You only care about yourself which is why now your son will end up on the streets, and you only have yourself to blame!" Irene shouted. "Just like your friends can't blame you for the choices that they made to help you today! They're going to be punished just like you, and unlike you, they don't have newborns to use as a lifeline!"

"Maddox!" Maddox huffed at my brother waiting for his command. "Sorry, but you're on babysitting duty. The only places she is allowed to go is her cleaning job and the store for food. She is not allowed to go anywhere else. If she even attempts to deter from this, arrest her and give her pup to the orphanage!" Terrine's face lit up with fury at the sound of her son going to the pack orphanage, but that would also get her to stay the f**k home. Maddox huffed in understanding and circled around the cottage. He was more than likely casing the place to make sure couldn't escape from anywhere.

After he was done, Maddox bowed his head letting us know he was done and that things were under control. Kendrick, Irene, and I walked back to the castle. As we left, we could hear Terrine screaming and crying.

"What are going to do to about Andrea and Sierra?" I asked my brother.

"Leave them in confinement until Wyatt gets back. He has something more pressing he has to deal with,"

"Does it have to do with Rylee?" I asked.

"Everything he does is about Rylee now," he replied. "Irene, I'm honestly quite proud of how you handled yourself. Even knowing everything, you never once let it slip with Terrine,"

"It's not my place to say anything. And I promised the Alpha that I would keep it hush-hush. I know what she did do your mom is unforgivable, and now that there's a witness to her crimes, I'm hoping once the Luna comes back, everything will start to fall into place," she answered. God, I loved this girl.

"Bro, you definitely got yourself a good one, though, not as good as my angel, but close enough,"

"Oh no! No comparing mates!" Irene shouted between us. "I'm telling Aunt Grace if you two start argue," she threatens. That instantly made Ken and I stop, but we also couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn baby, that's low," I tell her.

"Serves you right for using me as bait!" she shouted. Why did I have a feeling that she was not going to let me live this down?

{Wyatt's P.O.V.}

When I finally met Svetlana at the hotel, I decided to skip the valet and just park in the garage for now. She appeared in the garage and got in my car.

"Alpha, you're late," she said as she closed the door.

"I had a thorn in my hip to get rid of," I tell her.

"Ah, I see that Layla still hasn't learned her lesson?"

"No, and it's getting harder and harder to control my anger towards her,"

"Well, hold on a little bit longer,"

"Tell me, how are you going to know anything, if you don't know what Lorenzo looks like?"

"As a witch, I am able to detect magic, light, or dark. I can also sense any other supernatural beings, just like you. If someone is cloaked by magic I will know, and I will be able to say a small spell that will allow me to see past it," I just nodded my head. "Do you have a picture of this Lorenzo?"

"Here," I pulled out my phone and looked through my cloud and found a picture of Rylee and Lorenzo training together. When people asked me why I didn't access my cloud sooner when they were trying to tell me who Rylee was, my answer stumped everyone. My password is the day I knew Rylee was my mate and her birthday combined. Since both dates revolved around her, I couldn't remember my password until I got my memories back.

"Hmmm...Okay, I got it," she said after looking at the photo for a second. "How about we circle back and valet?"

"Let's go," I replied and started up the car. I drove out of the parking garage, circled the neighborhood twice, and then went back to the hotel and valeted the car. As we stepped out, I was greeted and handed my key to the valet guy. I went around the car and put out my arm for Svetlana for appearance reasons. She took her time looking at each valet person, and she looked closely at each one. Thankfully, there were other cars pulling in for valet services, and I was waiting for the guy to give me my stub.

I felt her tense when she laid on eyes on one valet guy that just came back from parking a car,

"Hmmm..." I heard her hum. "Magic forces far and wide, drop the cloak so he can't hide, allow this witch to use herein, so she can see the true identity within," I see her smile and look up at me. We meet eyes and she winks. We make our way inside and away from the crowd. Once we're in a good spot away from the humans, I turn to her.

"So?"

"I was right, Lorenzo is working to keep up appearances," she said with a smirk.

"So, maybe we follow him to get an idea of where Rylee is,"

"No,"

"What?"

"Alpha, you said it yourself that this man has been alive for hundreds of years, he will know he is being followed. It is possible he already saw us and may get suspicious, or is weary because you obviously look like yourself. My point is, we have to tread carefully if you want to get your mate back," "What are we supposed to do?" I asked a little irritated.

"Well, you're a rich man with a lot of resources. Use them to your advantage. Might I suggest getting Lorenzo's name?" I just lifted my brow at her. "You know, for someone so smart, you really can be quite stupid," I let a growl towards her for the insult. "Do you really believe that he would use his actual name while wearing a magical disguise?" I dropped the attitude realizing she had a point. "I suggest figuring out who is he right now, and then trying to follow digitally," I immediately took out my phone called my head of security at the office. "Mr. Valencia, what can I do for you?"

"Lazarus, I'm going to send you a photo of someone, and I need you to figure out who he is. I want to know everything about him. Friends, family, address, the works,"

"Yes, Mr. Valencia,"

"Laz, I want this done in 48 hours,"

"Yes, sir," I hung up the phone.

"f**k, I need a picture of this guy,"

"Not to worry," she said and took my phone. She said a few words which I didn't catch, and sure enough, there was a photo of him on my phone. I guess having a witch around wasn't such a bad thing. Yet. Now that I knew where Lorenzo was, I was one step closer to finding Rylee.
