My Miracle Luna
Chapter 44

{Kendrick's

P.O.V.}

Jason, Lorenzo, and I went off into the storm. Even for werewolves, this weather was pretty f*****g cold, and we were out here like dumbasses trying to find Wyatt. I had to admit, this wasn't like him, and I was kicking myself for not having gone to the office with him, but Melody had an ultrasound today, and Wyatt commanded me to stay home for it. Jace, can you sense anything? I asked in a mind link.

No, the wind is too strong. I can't smell s**t.

I wonder if Lorenzo's heightened sense of smell can pick up anything.

Too bad we can't ask him.

Jason was right. Since Lorenzo wasn't a part of our pack and just a guest, we couldn't link him or communicate with him. There were absolutely no humans on the road, I mean, why would there be, the blizzard was out of control, and most humans are smart enough to stay home. I don't think anyone realized how bad the storm was going to get today since it was barely snowing this morning when Wyatt left the territory.

We were well past the territory gates and were making our way down the access roads of the highway when Lorenzo perked up and paused. He lifted his head high and started to sniff. I guess his heightened sense of smell was actually picking up on something. After a few minutes, he turned to look at us, gestured his head, and took off running like bats out of hell. Cobalt and Ajax had to run at their top speeds to keep up with him, but even then, we could barely make out his silhouette through all of the snow being blasted from the storm. Luckily, after running for about ten minutes, Lorenzo came to a sudden halt, and I realized we were on top of a bridge.

From the faded tire treads that turned into skid marks, and the paint and scratches smeared along the guard rails, there was an accident of some sort, but there were no cars on the bridge. Lorenzo walked slowly by the rails, and it looked like an impact had occurred. Lorenzo peaked over and howled suddenly. Cobalt and Ajax also peeked over where Lorenzo looked, and we could see Wyatt's car in the gorge.

We took off to the other end of the bridge where the would be an access point down into the gorge. Being in wolf form allowed us to hurdle over rocks, trees, and even the steep jump we had to take. We all landed on our paws with no injuries, and we raced to the car. Come on, Wyatt, be in there, be alive. I kept saying to myself when we reached the car. It was completely totaled, and knowing if the driver were human, it would be a miracle if they had survived, but even for a wolf, this accident could be fatal.

We all quickly changed back to human form even knowing the winter storm would be freezing to us, but we needed to make sure Wyatt was okay. The car landed on its side with the passenger side down. I peeked inside from the driver side that was pointed up, "HERE'S NOT HERE!" I shouted. "HE'S NOT IN THE CAR!" Jason and Lorenzo came over, and there were no signs of Wyatt, but there were signs of blood. It was Wyatt's blood, which meant he was injured but he wasn't in the car.

"He must have crawled out, but by the look of the blood, he's badly injured!" Jason shouted as the wind howled.

"Let's shift back and see if we can find him!" Lorenzo said and we both nodded. We shifted back and felt better knowing our fur was going to keep us warm, but even then, it was freezing. Lorenzo started to sniff around, for Wyatt's scent. After a few minutes, Lorenzo howled again and took off running. We followed him, and he was speed walking through the gorge when we came upon an embankment. Lorenzo lifted his head and growled.

We came to where he was, and what he was growling at. There were faded tire marks in the snow and a small pool of blood that still stained the snow underneath. Lorenzo jumped into action and took off up the embankment while Jason and I followed as fast as we could.

I have to give it to this guy, Jason, he's determined to find Wyatt as much as we are.

I think it's because of Rylee. Lorenzo cares about her because she's like him.

He calls Rylee his family because apparently all Primordials have a DNA link, even though it's a weak one.

I also think it has to do with that fact if something happens to Wyatt, it could shake the bond he has with Rylee, which may alert the vampire of his existence.

Good point. Let's hope we can find him.

We ran for miles through the forest and ended at a back road that led into the city. We couldn't go any further than this, at least not in wolf form. The bigger problem we were now faced with was the fact that there were more than a few tire treads on this road, and based on Lorenzo's frustration, he lost the scent.

This wasn't good, this was not good at all. Wyatt was in an accident, was injured, and it looks like someone grabbed him. How the f**k were we going to tell Rylee and his parents? How the f**k was I going to tell Melody? Lorenzo huffed and sniffed a little while longer, and let out another howl, but this time, it was one of anger and frustration. He turned to look at us with an apologetic look. We knew then we were s**t out of luck. With heavy shoulders, we backtracked and headed back home. {Wyatt's P.O.V.}

"Damn, it's really coming down out there," I heard one of my employees say in the lobby.

"Yeah, this storm came out of nowhere," another agreed.

"Hopefully, it lets up before the day ends," someone else said. I looked out of the windows in the lobby. I looked at my watch, and it was just past noon, and a blizzard was making its way through the city. I decided that I would let everyone have an early out to get home before it potentially got any worse.

I got back to my office, and called human resources,

"Yes, Mr. Valencia?"

"Janette, please send out an early release email to all employees. Everyone will be paid for a full day's work, and are permitted to VPN from home until further notice,"

"Right away, Sir,"

"That includes you and the others in HR,"

"Yes, Sir. Please be safe,"

"You as well, good night,"

"Good night," a few minutes later I got a copy of the email sent out by human resources. I decided to finish up my day, since driving in a blizzard isn't anything new for me, plus, I have chains on my tires. If anything were to happen, I could always just shift and go home in wolf form. Before I knew it, it was almost five o'clock, and I realized that I was an hour late heading home. I packed up my stuff and locked the office. I made sure that only security was left in the building and all other employees had in fact gone home. "Good night, Mr. Valencia, please be safe,"

"You too, Frankie, stay warm," he saluted his hand and opened the door for me to the parking garage. The snow had come in though the openings of the garage and the wind was strong. I was a little worried driving in this storm, and I knew it was going to take me to double the time to get home. I tried to call Rylee, but I had no reception. "Just perfect, cell towers are probably down," I said out loud. I got in my car and started the ignition. I waited for about twenty minutes for the engine to warm up, and then made my way home.

I took my time and figured I would just mind link Rylee when I got closer to the mountains because I would be in range. Unfortunately, the office building was over an hour away, and our mind link couldn't reach that far. I wanted to hurry and get home so Rylee wouldn't worry, and knowing her, she's probably tried to contact me more than once by now.

The drive was horrible, and I could barely see anything. Thankfully, there weren't a lot of other cars on the road, and my tire chains were helping me keep traction on the highway. I was careful and cautious of black ice. As I made my way, I had to take a few detours because of road closures. This was going to make getting home harder, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I looked down at the clock on my dashboard, it was almost nine, and I was still about thirty minutes from home. I figured this was a good time to mind link Rylee to let her know that I'm okay, and I would be home soon. I came upon the bridge and decided to wait until I crossed it to mind link since it would require my eyes to cloud over and I would lose my sight for a split second.

I was halfway across the bridge when I hit something and my tired blew out. I scream curses as I tried to gain traction of my car, but I hit the guard rail and my car spun out of control. I hit the railing again, and I could feel my car falling over the bridge. Blade took over, and he tried to get me out of the car before it completely went over, but we were too late. The car went over the bridge and fell into the gorge. The last thing I remember is hitting my head and falling into darkness. {Rylee's P.O.V.}

It was almost eleven, and Kendrick and the others still weren't back yet. I was in full-on panic mode at this point because no one could get through to Wyatt. "Sweetheart, you need to calm down," Grace said to me. "I'm sure the boys will find him and bring him home,"

"Aunt Grace, Wyatt's never been this late, and he's never not called. What if something bad really did happen?"

"Now, now, you mustn't think that way, think positive, okay," she said to me, but I could hear her thoughts, and she was just as worried as I was if not more, but I wasn't going to call her out on her bullshit right now. Just then, the door flung open, and the guys came in. But what made my heart stop was that they didn't have Wyatt.

"Ken!"

"Jason!"

"Mr. Rossi, where is my son!?" Ronan asked.

"I'm sorry, but we couldn't find him," he looked at me with an apologetic expression. "It looks like he was ran off the road on the bridge about thirty minutes away from the territory. We found his car in the gorge under the bridge," "WHAT!?" we all exclaimed.

"When we got down to the car, there was blood, but Wyatt wasn't in the car. Lorenzo picked up his scent, and we followed it through the gorge to an embankment, and then it just stopped," Jason continued while Milan held a blanket around him.

"There were tire treads and a small pooling of blood. We followed the tired treads the best we could, but we ended up at a fork in the road," Kendrick added and held his own blanket. "I'm sorry Rylee, but we think Wyatt may have been grabbed," I shook my head profusely and grabbed my hair. I lost control and broke down. Then I remember something and looked straight at Lorenzo.

"DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!?!"

"No, I didn't" he replied, and he was telling the truth.

"What's the use in having the power of premonition if you can't see something like this coming!?!" I knew I just outed him in front of everyone, but at that point, I didn't care. Wyatt was missing, and potentially injured and bleeding. "Rylee, it doesn't work that way. I only get them when I'm supposed to,"

"What do you mean when you're supposed to!?! Are you telling me that saving Wyatt's life isn't important enough to get a vision!?"

"Rylee, calm down,"

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!" I screamed and threw him across the living room with my powers. He immediately stood his feet, and used his powers against me, and flung me across the living room as well. I landed on the sofa, but the impact made it roll over. "Do not forget who you are talking to, Rylee," he growled. I was pissed off that I couldn't stop myself. I stood to my feet, and my eyes started to glow. I focused on a vase and flung it at him with full force, which of course he stopped. I expected that and flung another vase at him and that one made impact to his head.

"YOU'RE IMMORTAL! WHY DID YOU COME BACK!?! GO OUT THERE AND FIND HIM!!!" I roared and flung every inanimate object in the living room at him. Books, vases, lamps, pillows, and even the coffee table.

"RYLEE THAT IS ENOUGH!!!" he roared back and shook the entire living room and stopped every single object midair and made them fall to the ground. Even though I was a Luna, and a Primordial, the aura Lorenzo was emitting at that moment was none I had ever seen. His eyes were a crimson red, it was almost as if you could see his Alpha aura surround him.

"What the f**k?" Kendrick said. I hadn't even noticed everyone was on their knees in fear. This wasn't Lorenzo, this was William.

"Kneel," he commanded, and I submitted. "Rylee, I understand that you are worried about Wyatt, we all are, but that does not give you the right to disrespect me. I am more powerful than you in more ways than one, and you best not forget that again," I could feel him glaring at me as I looked at the floor. No one has ever been able to make me submit. Not Eric, Ash, Nicole, or even Wyatt, mostly because I'm more powerful than Wyatt is, but I never tell him that to his face. But William, he was something totally different. He emitted more power than I had ever seen. I guess being the first Primordial to ever exist has something to do with it.

After a few minutes, things finally calmed down, and everyone finally stood their feet, that is, everyone except me. For someone reason, Kalleigh and I were afraid to stand.

"Rylee, stand," William said to me. I stood, but I kept my gaze to the floor. "Mr. Valencia, I'm sorry that I was unable to find our son, but I do believe that he is alive because if he was not, Rylee would know,"

"Yes, Mr. Rossi, I too believe my son is alive," Ronan said.

"Beta, what is the plan?" William asked.

"As soon as the storm dies down, we will send out trackers to where we lost his scent. They are the most skilled in tracking and should be able to pick up the trail again,"

"I will join them," William said, and Kendrick nodded.

"Jason, tell your dad," Ronan said, and Jason and Milan went to go see his parents. "Melody, get a few of the Omegas to clean up this mess,"

"No," William said and stopped her. "Rylee, you made the mess, you clean it," I gasped and looked at him in shock.

"Mr. Rossi, she is the Luna," Ronan said to him.

"She wasn't acting like the Luna when she lost control of her emotions. Regardless of any situation, she needs to remain in control of her emotions and her actions. She was acting like a child, so I'm going to treat her like a child," he said bluntly and looked back at me. "Clean up the mess Rylee, without your powers," for a split second, I felt like I was back at Halfmoon, but William was right. I caused this mess because I lost control. I wasn't acting like a Luna, so why should he treat me like one. I went to the broom closet and took out the cleaning supplies and got to work.

Kalleigh was whimpering because she was worried about Wyatt, but also because she was ashamed that she too lost control. It wasn't just me who was using my powers to try and harm William, it was her too, and she was embarrassed by her actions, as was I. Melody and Grace tried to help me, but I told them not to. This was my rightful punishment, and I needed to learn to my lesson. Grace was angry with William, but I told her not to be.

In all honesty, I was somewhat grateful that William put me in my place. He always warned me what would happen if I lost control, and I proved him right. I became a danger to those around me, and I felt horrible because of it. Had it not been William I was flinging objects at, it could have been a pack member or a family member, and they would have been seriously hurt or even killed.

I quickly cleaned up all of the broken glass, picked up all of the books, and pillows, and flipped the couch back over. I threw everything away, rearranged anything that wasn't broken back to its rightful place. When I was done, I went to the kitchen, and got a bottle of water, and went back to my room. I sat on the bed and hugged my knees. I didn't sleep at all as I was too worried about Wyatt.

I decided that I would join the trackers in the morning to help search for Wyatt. My heightened sense of smell and my bond with Wyatt should be helpful, at least I hoped.

The next morning, the storm had finally let up, and the sun was out. I quickly got dressed in a jacket, thick leggings, and my snow boots. I threw my hair into a ponytail, and met everyone downstairs,

"Rylee, what are you doing?" Kendrick asked.

"I'm going with you guys,"

"Rylee, you're the Luna, you need to stay home and take care of the pack,"

"NO! He's my mate, and I'm going with you! Lorenzo isn't the only one with a heightened sense of smell. Besides, no one here has a better bond with Wyatt than I do," I tell him sternly. He looks back at William, and he nods his head. As we head out, I hear William's thoughts,

Rylee, I'm disappointed in you.

I'm sorry William. I was afraid because of Wyatt. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost him.

I understand that, but that does not give you the right to act that way and attack me. You are a Luna. You need to remain calm, poise and collected when situations such as this arise. If I'm right, and you are immortal, you will outlive Wyatt. He is going to age over time, and he is going to die while you remain young and healthy.

I don't want to live in a world without Wyatt.

You won't have a choice if you are immortal. It's just the way it is.

How do you do it? How have you been able to live all this time knowing that all of your loved ones will eventually perish?

With time it gets easier.

I couldn't help the tears that streamed down my face when he said those words. Knowing that if I am indeed immortal, I would have watch Wyatt get older, and eventually leave this world where I will be alone again. I pray to the moon goddess that I'm not immortal. After about an hour and a half hike from the territory, we ended up the bridge and I could see the remnants of the accident. I looked over the bridge even though I'm terrified of heights and could see Wyatt's car. William led us down to the gorge so the trackers could try and pick up anything that William and the guys may have missed because of the storm.

Everything was covered in snow, but the tracker could still sense Wyatt's blood in the wreckage. They followed his scent and ended up the same embankment William and the guys ended up at. We all hiked up again, with Kendrick and Jason helping me along the way just in case and sure enough, we ended up at a crossroad. One way led into the city and the other way led deeper into the mountains on the opposite side.

"Luna, something isn't right," Felix said. Even in his older age, Jason's dad was one of the best trackers the pack had along with head trainer Maddox.

"What is it?" I asked making my way to the front of the line.

"His scent goes both ways,"

"What?" I went out to the middle of the crossroad and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath to calm my thoughts, and I could feel William next to me. His presence was encouraging me, and I concentrated on Wyatt's scent of fresh rain. It could actually be confused with the fresh snow, but the snow smelled clean and refreshing, while Wyatt's scent was sweeter and more relaxing.

"Anything?" Kendrick asked.

"Shhh..." I shushed him and concentrated, honing in onto Wyatt's scent. Then a small breeze came through, and I picked it up, "They took him into the city,"

"We can't go into the city on foot, it would take too long. We need to get a few of the cars," Kendrick said, and I nodded. "You four, go back to the castle, and get four of the pack SUV's and come pick up us,"

"YES, BETA!" the four men shifted and went back in the direction of the castle using the forest to conceal their wolves. I looked towards the city and prayed that we would find Wyatt.
