Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 16

Jin felt a strange warm energy inside of her. The light fluctuated and a new power was born. She could almost visualize the different energies swirling inside of her. She felt her gentle breeze which was connecting her with Jason. That energy began to surge and radiate throughout her body. It linked with her own power and began to create something deep inside of her. Something new and more powerful. It was then she could feel the extra links. She could sense Jason's mind now, but that wasn't all. She sat up and looked at her hand in confusion. Jason immediately sat up with her and rubbed her back. "Are you okay?" He continued to move his hand in slow rubbing circles as he studied her face. His warm fingertips brushed over her bare skin ever so gently.

Jin concentrated on what she was feeling. The power felt like it flooded into her from his mark. It was more than being connected as mates. She closed her eyes for a moment and focused on the invasion. The sweet warm energy swirled inside of her asking for her acceptance, blending into her body.

"Jason. I think." She tilted her head to the side to look at him. "I think I am a guardian now. I can feel Wyatt. I am connected to him differently. And while I am here to protect him it is now a different feeling. Like it is my purpose to protect him." She smiled up at him and touched her head. I can feel you in here too now. She was excited to be able to mind link with Jason. And feeling him be a part of her was amazing. It was like she knew that loneliness would never be part of her life again.

Jason wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his bare chest. The skin-on-skin sensation made his body tingle from his new mate. "This is amazing. I can't believe you are a guardian too now. This had to have been my mother's doing." Jason chuckled quietly thinking about how his mother always thought ahead. With his mate becoming a guardian it wouldn't be a problem with his duties as a guardian because they would now also be Jin's duties.

Jason leaned his head down and rested his face into the mark on her neck. His chest felt so full and happy. When he woke up that morning, he never imagined that by that late evening he would be marking her. He pressed his lips into her sensitive skin and continued to warm her body against his. "I know this is fast Jin. But this just feels so normal and right."

"I guess it should feel fast, but it doesn't. At least not to me. How long did you know? Why didn't you tell me?" Jin turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. Looking into his chocolate eyes which were now hers.

"I've known since our second day together. I was feeling drawn to you and then finally I heard this inner voice. It was hard not to come on too strong with you. I didn't want to scare you off. And just being around you and being close to you kept me happy. I love seeing you happy and smiling. This is all new and is a lot to take in. I never planned on taking a mate. Let alone having a fated one. Now though." He leaned his head in and kissed the tip of her nose. "Jin, I need you. You are so much a part of me now that I don't know how to exist without you already." Wow the mate bond was amazing. The way it connected you and united you to another was fascinating to Jason.

Jin leaned forward and pushed her lips against his. She licked his bottom lip and gently sucked on it. She pushed her front into him as she positioned herself on him. He was responding with her. Very slow warm passionate kisses as they tried to show their feelings to each other. She smiled as she slowly parted from his lips. "I can't explain what this means to me or how this has even happened. I don't think I am someone who traditionally has a mate either. Being connected to you... It is so nice to have you be a part of me Jason. I've been so..." She bit her bottom lip not sure if she should say it or not. She looked into his eyes and her bottom lip quivered. "I've been so empty since my parents were killed. The loneliness almost swallowed me up before I met Ciana. I'm a bit emotionally overwhelmed but in a good way. I never imagined that the mate pull would be this powerful."

Jason rubbed her shoulders. "Jin-" "JASON!"

Jason jumped a bit alarmed. That was Wyatt yelling for him. He hopped off of the bed and threw his shorts on. "I'm going to see what's wrong. I'll be back Jin." He immediately shut the door to her room and ran down the hall. He flew to the far end to where Wyatt's room was. He flung his brothers door open to see Wyatt holding his head.

"Wyatt? Wyatt what's wrong?"

"Thank goodness you are alright. I thought something happened to you." Wyatt looked up from holding his head. He looked at Jason and shook his head slightly. "Something feels weird. I came in to grab some towels and my body started feeling this weird energy and connection. I was afraid something happened to you. But now that I am studying it... that isn't what this is. It's ..." He studied Jason for a moment. "I can feel... This is Jin I am feeling. She-she-she holy s**t she is my guardian now. How did that happen?" Wyatt looked up to see a crooked grin over Jason's face. "You know?"

"I think I am the reason Jin is your guardian now. Sorry about that. I didn't know that would happen."

"Is everything okay?" Jin walked in. She had put on a t-shirt and her shorts. She couldn't just sit there. What if Wyatt was in trouble? She was his guardian now and needed to be there too. She was now drawn to Wyatt (in a non-mate way, more like an overprotective mother way).

Wyatt took one look at Jin and the fresh mark on her neck. A smirk spread across his face and he straightened his body posture. "I see you finally marked your mate."

"Mutual mates." Jason corrected and then put his arm around Jin. "She also recognizes me as her mate. We are not sure how or why, but we aren't complaining about it." Wyatt smiled. "Welcome to the family Jin."

She blushed slightly and leaned her head into Jason. "Thank you."

Wyatt's eyes glazed over, and he looked at Jason. "Kelsie is back." He immediately felt worried. Especially since Abaddon had just reached out to his sister. "Jin please wait here. I don't want Rhea to find out about Jason's mate yet. I'm hoping we can do it in person." He smiled and then looked at Jason. He wanted Jason to be able to tell Cody in person too. He knew this would mean a lot to him. "Let's go Jason. There could be a problem."

Jason kissed Jin's head and smiled down at her. "Why don't you get a shower? And then start moving your things into my room." He gave her a crooked grin and looked up at the ceiling. "I mean I figured that after... you know... that we should just ummm share a room from now on... if you want that is?"

Jin giggled and kissed his jawline. "That sounds wonderful. I don't think I could sleep away from you now." She blushed slightly.

He grinned widely and pushed himself into a hard rushed kiss. "I'll be right back." He said excitedly (practically gushing over his new mate) and then trotted after Wyatt. He would have to hide his euphoric high from Kelsie. He couldn't wait to tell Cody and Rhea. And the next time his parents visited they were in for a huge surprise as well.

Wyatt listened as his brother caught up to him outside. He didn't get a chance to say anything to him since Kelsie was seen briskly walking towards them. "Kelsie what's wrong? What happened?" Wyatt asked a bit concerned.

"Rhea has sent someone to the Diamond pack to help in case the demons show up." Kelsie said at first and watched both of the men furrow their brows. "What? She is sending someone here? A dragon?" Wyatt rubbed his hand over his face. What was his sister thinking?

"No, she is not a dragon." Kelsie said quietly.

"She? Rhea is sending one girl here to help US with the demons?" Jason chuckled out a bit condescendingly.

Kelsie cleared her throat. "Rhea told me to stress to you both that this is someone she trusts and that she expects you to accept her."

"Fine." Wyatt groaned. "Give me more details Kelsie." This time his voice was laced in annoyance.

"Her name is Freya; she is a demon huntress. She is also a dhampir." Kelsie saw their agitated faces. "Look she is already on her way here. Rhea gave her a letter to give to you so you will know it is her. Rhea trusts her. In fact, she risked her life saving her. So please take that into consideration."

Jason growled and scowled angrily. A demon hunter? A demon hunter was heading their way. What about his mate?! His mate was a demon. There better not be any problems.

Wyatt knew exactly what Jason was thinking. "I don't like having a stranger here. We don't know anything about her. What if she causes problems?"

"I understand. But Freya has promised her life to Rhea. She is indebted to her. She wouldn't do anything that would upset Rhea. Please... believe in her." Kelsie said quietly.

"This is an odd stance for you to take Kelsie. You normally don't like anyone else." Wyatt frowned slightly. "We will be prepared and ready for the demons when the time comes. IF the time comes. And... I guess there isn't anything that can be done if she is already on her way here. It looks like you both trust her and have faith in her abilities."

Kelsie nodded and smiled. "She will be here soon so be on the look-out." Kelsie took a small step back. "Well, I am off." She wanted to get back to Rhea and Cody. She had delivered her message and now she was going to speed back.

Wyatt looked up at Jason as Kelsie trotted away. "It's going to be okay. She won't touch Jin. I promise."

Jason growled again lowly. "I'll kill anyone who touches her."

Wyatt grinned and bumped his shoulder into his brother. "And look at you. Growing up instantly and marking your mate... and also warming up the bed sheets."

Jason's lips curved up in a smile. "It's amazing Wyatt. The connection is indescribable. She is so much a part of me. And so instantly." He then frowned and looked out in the distance. "I can't lose her Wyatt. I'm worried. Especially with this Freya coming. I'm worried." "Hey, it'll be fine. And if Freya can't handle it she can leave. She doesn't have to stay here. In fact, she doesn't even have to stay within pack grounds. She can do whatever she needs to do from outside of the pack borders. We won't let anything happen to Jin." Wyatt reassured his brother. "Rhea wouldn't send her here unless she really had faith in her. She wouldn't put us in danger. So try not to worry. Let's push this from our minds for now. No need to mention this to Jin either. We don't want to worry her. Let's just wait and see."

Jason nodded his head and turned his head to look back at the pack house. It was like he was being pulled to his mate. He would always be forever drawn to her no matter where she was. It was an incredible connection.

Wyatt slapped Jason on the back. "I'm happy for you Jason. I really am." His wide smile was genuine as he looked back at the pack house with him.

"I want this for you too Wyatt. You'll have this too. It's amazing and I can't wait for it to be your turn. You have someone else out there for you even if it isn't your fated mate."

"I'm not worried about it Jason. I have time. Plus, I am still trying to figure out this whole Alpha king thing. Sometimes I get this incredible rush of intense feral strength that pours into me. Like an overflow of animal testosterone or something. I've been able to control it and rein it in. Still, it is intense. I wouldn't want to hurt my mate. In a sense it is a good thing that I don't have a mate right now. I don't know how powerful the mate bond would be like this. And I don't know how intense... you know..." Wyatt trailed off quietly not needing to say the rest.

"Oh... ummm...yeah... I'm sure it will be okay with your mate. Your natural response is to take care of your mate and protect her. And..." Jason cleared his throat then. "And during that time... despite how much you um you know; you will still be thinking about her first. You'll be able to hold back because you want to make sure she is okay."

Wyatt chuckled. "I guess this is as far as bro conversations go right?"

"Hey, I think we did pretty good." Jason chuckled back and swung his arm around Wyatt's shoulders. "All I'm saying is don't let something like that hold you back. You'll figure that all out."

Wyatt smiled and nodded. He looked up at the moon that had entered the sky. The white light shone brightly, and its beams kissed his face. When the time comes, he hoped he would feel more ready.
