Dr. Luna
The Fairy’s Forbidden Mate Chapter 46

It had been several hours later. Rhea and Cody had finished their discussions. And for now, they both agreed that they would just sit on the information that they had. Especially with Abaddon coming into the picture and knowing where she is located. They needed to be smart about it and not act rashly. The floor door opened, and Kelsie walked onto the upper floor followed by a very nervous Reese. Reese was carrying two large bags and was almost shaking as he shut the door.

"Kelsie you're back. Reese is everything okay?" Rhea noticed his eyes flicking around the room and he was shuffling his feet.

"Titus asked me to bring up your dinner for you guys and to see that your friend made her way up here. I've never been up here. It's off limits."

Rhea giggled as Cody walked over and took the two bags off of Reese. "Nothing to be nervous about if Titus gave you permission."

He gave Rhea a weak smile but was still considerably anxious. "Well, ummm yell if you need anything. I'll be at the bottom of the stairs guarding the entrance." He practically sprinted back down the stairs. Rhea turned to see Kelsie and Cody staring at each other. They were so awkwardly cute together. She couldn't gush over them right now. She wanted to know what everyone said. "How was everyone? What did they say? How did Wyatt and Jason look?" Rhea felt like she needed all the information instantly.

Kelsie turned from Cody and smiled at Rhea. "Everyone is good. They are all fine. In fact, they all acted the same way asking about you. They are all worried about you and afraid that you'd be upset. I told them they know you better then that though. Your parents said that you are to stick close to Lee and Titus. Stay near Cody and in the dragon kingdom and not to worry about anything else. Your parents said they would make sure that the Diamond pack is fine." Kelsie then laughed a bit. "Wyatt and Jason though were practically frothing at the mouth. They were both seeing red and are vowing to kill Abaddon for coming near their precious sister."

Rhea smiled. Here she was worrying about everyone else and they were all worrying about her.

"Wyatt said he'll kick Abaddon's a*s and be coming to get you soon so just hang tight. Jason said to tell Cody that he trusts him and knows he will do what is necessary to take care of their sister." Kelsie gazed up at Cody.

Kelsie seemed... sweeter. Softer even. It was almost night and day. She was a gentler person and Rhea knew it was because of Cody. She figured she would give the two of them some time to talk. She walked over to the bag of food and snared a few hot dumplings. "I'm going to try to relax some and take a bath. Cody why don't you go over everything we talked about earlier."

Kelsie looked at Rhea with interest. Then her green orbs turned black and she angrily stomped towards Rhea. She reached her hand up and very tenderly lift up Rhea's face. "That damn dragon. I'll kill him."

"Wait? What happened?" Cody was now inspecting Rhea's face as well.

Rhea felt heated crimson seize her cheeks as she realized what they were looking at.

Cody clenched his fist together. And Kelsie snorted out angrily, "Look at her! She is all bruised up. Look at those poor lips." "Kelsie I am fine. Honestly." Rhea smiled and was inwardly thinking.... Hypocrites. Though she would hold her tongue for now.

"He was too rough with you. My poor innocent sweet friend."

"I agree. He needs to control himself better."

"Hmmmm. Yeah. Look. I don't have my healing ability like you two do. So unfortunately, my evidence lasts on my face longer then yours does. However, if I were you two, I wouldn't be saying anything about someone else being too rough." Rhea smirked at the two in front of her. Kelsie immediately began to flush while Cody was looking at the ground. Rhea giggled and then left them to deal with their embarrassment. She figured Cody already mentioned to her that she had caught them. If not... it was out in the open now. Rhea took her time in the soothing hot water. The steam generated from it was soothing her muscles. She leaned her head back and played with the water with her fingers. This created a calming trickling sound. She drifted in her thoughts. Abaddon had been after her grandmother, her mother and now is pursuing her. He was always pursuing an heir to the fairy kingdom and as such wanted the fairy princess. However, there felt like something was a bit different with her. They were gathering an army. One that was big enough to engulf the fairy kingdom. So why was he still pursuing her? Was it out of spite? Or was he still wanting an heir that was part fairy? Maybe it was so he could gain entry into Elysium and have an heir to rule the dark fairies? Or had the demon become so obsessed with having the fairy princess as a mate that no one else would work?

Then she shifted to the merrow queen. The epitome of cruel. She honestly did not know what to expect from her. The marine fairy had little interaction with them and almost relished in the seclusion. They had never been fans of the royalty since they made their own royal hierarchy. She was not sure how things would turn out when she met her. She wasn't afraid to fight with her but was afraid she wouldn't get what she needed from her. She had to have it. She slid down a bit more in the water and let out a breath creating bubbles in the water.

She tilted her head back again and stared up at the deep ceiling. She sighed. She just wanted everything to be good, with everyone. She wanted them all to have a happily ever after. She hoisted herself out of the tub and wrapped herself up in a huge fluffy towel. Fluffy towels are the best. Then she headed out of the bathroom so that she could pick something out of Lee's closet to wear. At the very least she could have his scent on her. She picked out a long shirt and a pair of sweats that she could tie to put on. She heard a funny little noise coming from the balcony. She immediately walked over and opened the doors. The cool night air nipped at her skin and swirled her hair. She took another step out and saw a couple little fae dragons sitting on the banister ledge. "Well what are you cuties doing all the way up here?" Rhea smiled and reached out to pet them. Fae Dragons... the perfect example of how two words could exist in harmony. They were just as much fairies as they were dragons. Honestly, they were a bridge between the two worlds. They could exist in either place. Accepted.

She looked out and her eyes widen as she looked out into the dusk. Since she had been here, she had not seen any of those that were kin to dragons. Which she was shocked by. Now though, she could see them swarming the outer edges of the kingdom. Was it the demons that were drawing them into the kingdom's safety? She heard a screech from one of the wyverns as another got too close to it. They usually did not stick together. They were solitary creatures by nature. The fact that they were all creeping into here means they were seeking refuge.

Suddenly the little fae dragons took to the sky and flew away from the balcony. It did not take her long to figure out why though. She soon felt the warm hands snake around her waist. She leaned back into his heat and continued to stare at the new arrivals. "Are they scared?" Rhea asked quietly.

"No. Their territory has been invaded so they have come here temporarily. They will leave in a day or so and seek out an unoccupied territory." Lee leaned his head down onto her damp hair. "Is it the demons?"

"Maybe... what did I tell you about coming out in the night air with wet hair?" Lee scolded playfully as he ran his fingers through a few strands of her hair.

Rhea spun around in his arms and her eyes shined up at him. "Mmm, I just can't seem to remember. Are you going to punish me?" Rhea bit her bottom lip with a small smile on her lip.

"I might." His hot breath fanned her cheek as he drew close to her ear then nipping her earlobe.

"Well then what are you waiting for?" Rhea let the words come out in a quiet breath. Lee chuckled near her ear. His low chuckle and vibrations sent a chill up her body.

"You aren't supposed to want to be disciplined. Hardly fitting if you enjoy being punished." Lee smirked into her neck and peppered light kisses over her mark.

Rhea wrapped her arms around his neck, and he brought his face up to hers. "Let's play a game."

Lee grinned and tugged her back into the warmth of the room. "A game princess? What kind of game? Like a game game or something else?" He raised his eyes and she giggled at him.

"Umm... obviously a game. What are you thinking about perv?" Rhea winked at him and hopped on the bed folding her legs under her. Lee chuckled and sat across from her, looking at her with interest.

"So the rules are you have to answer. You can't say 'I don't know' because that's it a cop-out. We will each take turns asking fun questions. Okay?" Rhea watched his lips curl upwards. He was finding her humorous. "Okay so I will go first. If you had to choose between getting an arm chopped off or a leg which would it be?"

Lee raised his eyes and continued to smile at her. "An arm for sure then I could still get around easily."

"Okay my turn. If you had to choose between me and Cody who would it be?" Lee smirked and watched her with interest.

Rhea giggled. He was being rotten and she knew what he was looking for. "Easily Cody. Hands down." She watched him lean in to her and began to tickle her. She curled up and laid on the bed. "Okay, okay. I'd pick you and you know it." She watched him grin triumphantly. He pulled her back up into a sitting position and kissed the tip of her nose.

"My turn now... hmm... would you rather I love you but not be with you or hate you but as your mate?" Rhea watched his eyes flicker a bit but he didn't hesitate with his answer.

"Hate me but as my mate." His breath heaved a bit and he looked her over. She was so cute and adorable. If she only knew what he wanted to do to her right now... "Would you rather stay up all night talking or make love and fall asleep together?" His eyes were smiling as he waited intently for her answer.

"Hmm... well as it is now, I'm going to have to say stay up all night talking. I don't know how well you perform as a man yet." She gave him a wry smile and watched a darkness flicker across his eyes.

"Yet... princess. Yet." Lee stared at her with an intense gaze. Drifting his eyes over her body and then landing on her lips.

Rhea cleared her throat as she felt her heartbeat picking up under his eyes. "My turn. Would you rather live an immortal life with out me or a mortal one with me?" She watched his intense stare. She was hoping he wasn't getting suspicious of what she asked. He leaned in close to her to where his lips were brushing against hers.

"Baby, I don't want a life without you. Easily, a mortal life with you. I need you Rhea. Rhea, I've never needed anyone, but I need you."

His steamy breath hit her lips as his brushed against hers with each word he said. The sparks were shooting through her body. And it was as if he was pulling her towards him with a magnetic force. Her body reacted on its own as she licked his lips with her tongue. She had just provoked his beast.
