Dr. Luna
The Fairy’s Forbidden Mate Chapter 79

eamless... it was painless. She was born to shift into Lumi.

She looked out through her new wolf sight. She shifted her feet in the ground feeling the earth below her. Her ears twitched as she picked up the various noises around her. She lifted her head up feeling very happy with herself. The wind tickled her fur as it greeted her and she lifted her nose up to it sniffing lightly. "Wow Rhea, you are just as big as Kira." Cody said in shock as he looked at the beautiful wolf. Lumi wagged her tail happily and then turned to look at her mate.

Lee reached his hand out and Lumi ran and jumped up onto him. He chuckled as she licked at his face. Her tail was wagging as he pet her soft fur. "You're beautiful baby." He held her head between his hands and leaned his forehead into her fur. His body recognized her no matter what form she was in. He only saw her as his mate. He was feeling a bit selfish and he didn't want to share this moment with anyone else. He wanted to soak in touching her and relishing in her accomplishment of an easy shift. But everyone else was excited too. So reluctantly he released his grip on his mate and kissed her head tenderly. Her fur tickled his nose and he smiled down at her.

She lowered herself down and Kelsie reached out to touch her fur. "So soft and fluffy." Still too good for these dragons. Kelsie thought to herself as she was joined by Cody and Titus in touching Rhea's fur. "Don't get her pretty fur all dirty." Kelsie snorted at Titus who only chuckled in reply.

"I never had a puppy. A grown wolf is a great replacement though. We will go on walks together. Play fetch together." Titus grinned as Lumi snorted and shook her body. She wasn't a pet replacement but she let Titus have his joke. She was just glad to finally be out and was enjoying the attention.

Lee stood there proudly looking at his mate. Her wolf was beautiful, and she managed to shift so effortlessly. He just wanted to keep her all to himself. He didn't want to share her today... or ever. Finally all the extra attention she was getting had his beast getting gradually aggravated. "Okay... Okay... That's enough petting her."

Lumi turned her head and looked at Lee. Her tongue was out and she was panting happily towards him. So possessive. Rhea thought as she giggled.

Mmmm, he is perfect. We have the perfect mate. Lumi was quite proud of who they had been matched up with. She walked over to his side and leaned against his legs. She relaxed her body into his touch and rubbed her head into his hand. Rhea agreed with her wolf. She could never have asked for a better mate then Lee. He was everything she ever wanted. Hell, he was everything she had dreamed about. And he was hers, completely.

"Whoa, Titus, you need to get an exterminator you have a wolf up here." Weston jogged up to them followed by Dex. "Thanks for inviting us to come along...." His voice dripped in annoyance.

"Rhea is that you? Wow you finally got your wolf. You must be very happy." Dex said as he marveled at the white beauty. She was larger then he had imagined. Of course he really hadn't seen many werewolves in their animal form up close. But she looked to be bigger then what he had seen.

You have no idea how happy I am... Rhea thought to herself.

Quite the eventful night huh? Lumi jested and had Rhea been human she would have been blushing.

Does everything with you lead back to only s****l things? Rhea asked in mild annoyance.

Rhea, we are animals. It is only natural. We search for our mate, we find our mate, we mate with them and we have pups with them. Lumi replied tersely. It was just a fact of life.

Time out Lumi. Let's put babies on the back burner okay? I don't need to be pregnant and out there fighting a demon war. Rhea smiled in the recesses of her mind. Not that the idea of children didn't excite her. It just wasn't time for that yet.

Lumi scoffed. I'm not worried about the demon war. We have the numbers on our side. Plus, we are one of the Gemini Twins. And you keep forgetting something important, Wyatt. You don't think you were the only one born with special gifts do you? Rhea quietly reflected on what Lumi was saying. Her brother was an Alpha which was already a powerful position. What other powers did he have hidden inside of his body? She knew of one of his skills, but she was sure he had others. Grandpa Sage mentioned he would also play a key role in the demon war. What a destiny her family had... Her family was destined to fight against the demons. Well, with a destiny like that they should have some pretty amazing and unique skills.

The more she thought about it she thought about how much others had their hands in her family's affairs. Her grandmother (the fairy princess at the time) found out her mate was an Alpha of a werewolf pack. From them came her mother, Lilly. Her mother (half werewolf and half fairy-fairy princess at that) found her mate as the Alpha of the Diamond pack. She was the first Luna who was also a fairy princess. And her father was an Alpha who was also the fairy King. Already this was a powerful combination. Then you add Rhea and Wyatt who are both from alpha bloodlines and fairy royalty. Rhea is mated to a deity and she is one of the Gemini twins. She wondered who her brother would end up mated with and what else made him unique.

"I know you probably want to go for a run but it really isn't the best time for that. I will try to make some arrangements later to make sure everything is secure. Gramps fixed the barrier so we won't have anymore demon entries." Titus' voice snapped Rhea out of her inner thoughts.

How was a demon able to get through the barrier? Rhea thought outwardly to those connected in her mind.

Titus' eyes widened. "Okay... how in the heck can I hear your thoughts?! Is this part of our connection?"

"Wait what connection? You can hear her thoughts? What am I missing?" Dex said furrowing his brows in confusion.

Lee gently stroked his white beauty and scratched her ears. "I guess that makes sense. I'm surprised the two of you didn't feel the link earlier." He then looked over at Dex and Weston. He wasn't sure how much about Rhea and Titus he wanted them to know right now. The less people who knew about it the better. "It is just something unique that they can do. That is all you need to know for now."

Rhea sighed inwardly. He was so overprotective. Their secret was safe with them. Okay Lumi so shifting back should be about the same way, right? Only this time I am pushing myself forward.

Yes, that is right.

Rhea easily shifted back to herself. She looked herself over, still fully clothed thanks to the troll nail clippings. Finally she was benefiting from eating something so gross. She turned to Lee and leaned into him.

"What he meant to say was it isn't something you need to know now but we will talk about it later." Rhea smiled sweetly at Lee as she spoke.

"Rhea..." The agitation in Lee's voice wasn't missed. Dex and Weston felt very hesitant all of the sudden seeing their deity starting to get upset.

Lee, we trusted them with our secret; we can trust them with mine and Titus' too. Either they are our friends or they aren't. Either we trust them or we don't.

The more people who know the more dangerous it is.

These are the same people who know about us. To me that one is more dangerous. I could lose you. You are my most precious secret. If I trust them with that I can trust them with anything. Now... Rhea leaned up and kissed his chin. Invite them up for dinner later and we can discuss this later this evening.

Lee sighed. He wasn't going to win against her. She already had her mind made up. She was just too adorable and he didn't want to make her mad. Lee turned and looked at Weston and Dex. "This evening I am inviting you up to my area of the castle. We can talk over dinner."

Titus busted out laughing. "Look who got his wings clipped." Titus snickered.

Rhea turned around and glared at him. "Titus... you are not in any position to talk about wings getting clipped. We all know that Lila will get her way with you." She watched as his smile immediately faded into a crooked grin. He knew it was true. He couldn't refute it. Lee smiled and wrapped his arms around Rhea. Titus could say what he wanted. It didn't matter to him. This little fairy in his arms was his reason for living. He had finally found it. "She can clip my wings as long as she is always by my side." Lee kissed the top of her head and watched as she leaned her head up to look at him. Her beautiful sapphire eyes were staring at him with adoration for him. He was still on cloud nine about them both being mutual mates... and the fact that they sealed the mating bond... several times. "You don't have to tell us anything. You can keep it as a need to know basis. We are fine with that." Dex didn't need to know anything more. It really didn't matter.

"Well, I'm curious. You didn't take Titus as your mate too, did you?" The moment Weston said it he flinched as Lee let out a low growl.

Lee snorted a heavy breath through his nose. "She's mine. I don't share... anything of mine."

Rhea giggled and intertwined her fingers with Lee's. He needed to lighten up some. He wasn't used to interacting so much with others. He would though. She would help bring him down to earth a little more. "Wes, as if I'd let that lizard over there taint my beautiful mark that I already have."

"Eh, he's a second-rate tattoo artist. It'll work but mine would have looked better." Titus teased with a wide toothy grin.

"Who are you calling second rate, Whelp?" Lee raised an eye as he turned to look at Titus.

"I didn't stutter." Titus' lips curled upwards as he provoked Levi.

Lee chuckled lowly. "Look who has suddenly become more brazen."

"Sure have. With Rhea by your side, I know you are way more tame. Yep, I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm banking on her protection." Titus shrugged and the others could not help but laugh. Even Lee smiled over this.

"We are all more fortunate having Rhea as our shield." Weston said knowing that he would be one to need it often.

"Hey, my protection only goes so far, so don't take advantage of it. Otherwise, instead of the shield you may get the sword." Rhea gave Weston a side smile as his eyes raised.

"You're right. This works both ways. You literally have him as a sword and a shield. So much for sleeping better at night." Weston chuckled nervously.

"I for one will sleep better at night. Knowing that the girl who is with our deity is Rhea... I will sleep much more soundly. We are lucky to have her joining us." Dex looked at Leviathan and nodded his head to him. Rhea was not a vicious person. She would never abuse their deity. She was the perfect mate to be by his side.

"You dragons are awful lucky to have her and you better not forget it." Kelsie looked up to Cody. "Guess we will be living in dragon country permanently."

Cody chuckled and shook his head no. "Not quite. Rhea still has to rein as the acting fairy queen when it is her time. She will be in Elysium for a while as well."

There was an uneasy silence among the dragons. They were not sure how they felt hearing this. Their deity wouldn't be among them anymore? He had always been with them. Titus was the only one who seemed at ease.

"And since Levi can manifest himself instantly it won't be a problem for him not living here with us during that time. Besides, it's not like we really need him around. And he can always come back for the mating parties we have once a year. And it is easy enough for him to show up to bless any future royals if they find their mate. But you better bring Rhea with you." Titus winked over at Rhea. He looked over at Dex and Weston who looked to be more at ease. What Titus had said made sense to them. He was right... Leviathan never really did anything but approve of the mates of royals and oversee important occasions.

"We have a long way to go before we even get to any of that." Lee said looking at Titus. "Before we get to any of that we have some traitors and demons to deal with."

"When the time comes just let us know. The dragons will be there, all four kingdoms, to fight against the demons. This is a war we are going to win easy. The demons would have a hard enough time just facing off with dragons alone. No... there are going to find out they poked a giant." Weston said with a cocky smirk. "Maybe once they see the numbers on our side they might already concede in battle. Unless they want to be slaughtered."

"We just need to find out how many traitors are among us and weed them out beforehand." Dex said thoughtfully.

"Finding everyone involved is the biggest issue right now. Soon we will have everyone involved and we can finally act." Titus sighed with a small frown. It was never a good feeling having to purge your own. Even when it was necessary.

Cody looked around at the solemn atmosphere and sighed. He rubbed the back of his head and looked at Lee. "So, you said we are having a little dinner tonight... what's on the menu?" "Yeah... what's for dinner?" Rhea grinned tilting her head back to Lee.

Not sure about dinner... but I know what's for dessert. Lee mind linked to Rhea with a playful grin and then looked up at Titus. "Titus is in charge of the menu. Better make it good." "Awesome. Then I'm telling the cooks we are having tacos tonight." Titus had been craving tacos for a couple days now.

"Hell yeah! I can eat a couple dozen tacos." Cody grinned and Kelsie sighed and shook her head. He really had a bottomless appetite.
