Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 30

Freya had stashes of clothing all over the place. The floral outfit she was wearing wasn't exactly intimidating clothing. She put on her black pants, shirt, combat boots and her hooded cloak. She situated her daggers and stakes in her utility belt. It felt like forever ago and at the same time as if her life with Wyatt was a dream. She felt her stomach roll at the thought.

The steps to the dark tavern felt heavy. She knew the type of scum bags that were frequent patrons. She had to forget about her life as a Luna. She was Freya, the demon hunter. The soulless dhampir who wanted nothing but to slit your throat. She pushed open the door that creaked its old greeting. Her boots echoed on the wooden floor with each commanding step she took. She sat on a stool at the bar. She knew the game here. She gave them the cold shoulder. She felt her dark aura spread over her. A fair warning to everyone there.

Already she could see men slinking away from her. Making sure they stayed low on her radar.

"Am I going to get a drink or what?!" Freya growled at the bar keeper.

The old man hobbled over to her setting a glass in front of her. He had a patch over his eye and his hair was the color of salt and pepper. "Here you go. The usual. Haven't seen you around lately."

Freya's cold chilling eyes flipped up at the man. Her lips curled up in a snarl and she took her drink. "Client problems." She hissed out and downed the drink. Her green orbs pinned the man down. "I need information."

The old man cackled. "I figured you did, or you wouldn't be here."

"I need to know how to remove the blood potion from someone." Freya asked trying to be inconspicuous. The man's eyes narrowed on her in suspicion.

"Why would you try to help someone?"

Freya scoffed. "I help myself old man. I need information from someone. The damn witches made him a bloodhound. He goes feral every time he sees me. Easy enough to kill... but I need information that only he has." Freya squeezed her shot glass making it shatter between her fingers. Red droplets oozed from her fingers. She glared at the old man. "I don't have time for games. I need answers so I can finish a job."

The old man nodded his head. "There is a way I believe. But there is only one who knows the answer to that question." His lips curled up in a smirk.

Freya stood up and leaned towards the old man. "Stop the theatrics. SPEAK!"

"You want answers? Then you need to see the dark priestess."

Freya's jaw stiffened. The displeasure on her face evident. "And just how in the hell am I supposed to find her?" The dark priestess was hidden away somewhere. No one knew of her location.

"You are in luck. I know of someone who knows her location." The old man continued.

"Old man... I am losing my patience. Where can I find this person?" Her eyes flickered in color showing him that her anger was rising.

"Well, if you don't hurry... you will find her about six feet under. They just took the luck dragon out the back. She was spying on some of Harley's boys. And you know how he feels about that." The man watched as a blur sped past him and out the door. He chuckled and wiped up the counter clearing the glass and blood.

"We really should get rid of that one." One of the patrons said from the other side of the bar.

The old man chuckled. "You and what army? Besides... she is no worse then the rest of you lot. She keeps to herself and does her job. She's one of my favorite customers." The old man cackled again as he resumed his duties. Right about now he figured she would have reached those demons. He sighed internally. That's three less customers he will have.

Freya plunged her third dagger deep into the demon's chest. The familiar rush washed over her. There was a time not to long ago that this was the only time she could feel. It was only when she was killing that she could feel alive. She watched his lifeless body slump onto the ground. She shrugged and sighed turning to the bound person behind her.

"I mean I did ask them first. Well, I didn't really ask them. I said leave the girl or die. They chose death." Freya chuckled to herself. She knew that they would choose death. She set them up for failure. She walked over and ungagged the girl.

"What do you want with me?" The girl said defiantly to Freya.

"What do you want with me?" The girl said defiantly to Freya.

Freya's eyes flickered at the girl in amusement. She had black hair and brown eyes with caramel skin. "Relax dragon. I'm not here to hurt you. What's your name?"

The girl paused. "It's... Ciana."

Freya froze from working at the girl's knots. "Ciana... as in Jin's Ciana?"

The girl's eyes widened. "You know Jin? How is she?"

Freya looked at her in anger. "What the hell were you doing? You were almost killed? What if I hadn't come? I didn't realize the luck dragon was the same thing as the light dragon." She untied the girl hastily. She watched as the girl rubbed her wrists. "Thank you. I didn't mean to get caught... why were you looking for me?" Ciana looked at Freya in confusion.

"I'm told you can tell me how to find the dark priestess."

Ciana nodded her head. "I can take you there. As long as..."

"I'm not going to fight with her. I have a question." Freya said in minor annoyance.

"Hope you aren't afraid of heights." Ciana grinned.

Wyatt sat across from Reed and his wife Erica. Erica held onto Wyatts hand and closed her eyes. She was the head of the Bloom coven and very powerful. Reed knew he had to bring her along.

"Shit." Erica frowned and pulled her hand away from Wyatt.

"What is it?" Reed rubbed his wife's back. Everyone had gathered inside of the pack house. Kade, Rosa, Cedric, Merida, Caleb, Avery, Sam, Renee, Adam, Susan, Winston, Jason, and Jin. They were all curious what Erica had found.

The door slammed open. Tyler, Lilly and Tristan barged inside of the pack house. "Okay care to explain what is going on?" Tyler asked in a deep voice. Lilly immediately ran up to Wyatt and Jason.

"My beautiful boys." She reached her arm around them both. She missed them so much.

"Mom." Wyatt put his arm around her. There was a lot to talk about. But they were just about to find out something important. "Erica was just about to tell us what she found."

All eyes were back on Erica. She sighed. "You were injected with a blood potion."

"Who dared to touch my son?" Lilly's eyes went dark as she growled. She'd kill them. Tyler put his hand on Lilly. He agreed with her line of thought, but they didn't need to growl at the one there to help.

"I can sense the way this potion was brewed. I'm positive it was someone from the Briar coven." Erica said confidently. The many low snarls of animals echoed in the pack house. Someone had dared to touch their Alpha. "So, what does this mean?" Wyatt asked quietly.

"A blood potion is strong. It is something that mixes with your own blood. It becomes almost part of your DNA. It makes it so that whenever you see your mate you will try to kill her. But when you don't see her, you will be perfectly normal. The blood potion will only effect you with the person it was bound to, in your case your mate." Erica looked at Reed sadly.

"Can you remove it?" Tyler asked in a whisper. This was his son's mate they were talking about.

"I... I don't know if it is possible. Because it blends in with his blood you can't separate it. You'd have to bleed him dry. I'm sorry. It is a very cruel potion. That is actually forbidden to be used." Erica looked at Reed with annoyance.

Wyatt slammed his fist into the table. "I'm not going to be kept away from my mate." He then glared at Erica and Reed. "The Briar coven will be destroyed. How dare they mess with me and my mate. They will have the strength of all the werewolves come down on them."

"Or at the very least the Diamond pack." Tristan interjected. Why would all of the werewolves get involved.

"No... he means all of the packs." Jason said giving Tristan a side grin. "Mom, Dad, I'd like to introduce you to the werewolf king." Jason held his hand out to Wyatt.

"And as the werewolf king I sentence the Briar clan to obliteration." Wyatt snarled angrily.

"The Bloom coven will stand with you. We will help you purge the coven so it can be rebuilt." Eric said. "I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help. We will leave you now. Let us know when and we will be at the ready." Erica stood along with Reed and walked out. She knew that this news was heavy on them.

"The Bloom coven will stand with you. We will help you purge the coven so it can be rebuilt." Eric said. "I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help. We will leave you now. Let us know when and we will be at the ready." Erica stood along with Reed and walked out. She knew that this news was heavy on them.

Tyler went and put his hands on Wyatt's shoulders. "I know the timing is bad... but I'm proud of you. The werewolf king? That is something amazing. I'd like to meet your mate. Is she nearby?"

Wyatt closed his eyes. Where was his sweet Freya? "She isn't here... but you can meet Jason's mate." Wyatt smiled weakly and nodded over towards Jin. They could at least be excited for Jason. "Jin is also my guardian now too."

Lilly looked at Jin and Jason. "Wow! Congratulations. I'm so happy you took a mate for yourself Jason." She then glanced at Wyatt and said quietly, "We will talk more later." She smiled at the two of them. Under better circumstances there would be lots of hugs and laughter. They would be getting reacquainted with their old pack members and friends as well. But as it was the mood was solemn. Wyatt couldn't see his mate because if he did, he would try to kill her. She turned back to Wyatt. "Let me see if there is anything I can do."

She took Wyatts hand and lead him to the couch. She sat beside him and placed her hands on his shoulders. "I'll do my best." She met with her son's silver eyes. It was like looking into his father's eyes. She began to search through his energy. She shut her eyes so she could focus on what she was seeing. She was searching for anything that didn't belong. There was not anything weird looking with his energy, so she pushed deeper. The rainbow of colors blurred past her. Through his blood flow she noticed a dark streak that was intertwined inside of him. She let her own energy flow out and smother over the darkness. Yet, it could not be separated. It was bonded to him as if it was just another part of him. Her hands began to tremble as she drained her energy trying to free her son. "Lilly that's enough baby." Tyler said as he sat down behind her. He didn't want her hurting herself and knew she was pushing her limit.

Her eyes fluttered open and she let her hands drop onto her lap. "I'm sorry. I can't separate it."

Wyatt sighed and looked down. "What am I going to do? I can't be without her." He looked up at his parents with pleading eyes. "I love her."

"We won't give up Wyatt. There has to be something." Lilly reached her hand out over Wyatts. She was hurting for him. She hated seeing her son in such anguish. She could see how torn his face was and there wasn't anything she could do.

"I need to think of something else." Wyatt said in agitation. Not being with Freya wasn't an option for him. He wouldn't live like that. He just needed to change the topic. "How is Rhea doing? Have you heard from her?" He watched as both of his parents tensed up. "What?"

"Rhea is fine. We did just hear from Kelsie. Apparently, Rhea was able to pick up Abaddon's scent. But she's going to be fine. She has the four dragon kings watching over her plus Leviathan. So don't worry about her. She has very powerful allies." Lilly smiled to Wyatt. "Why don't you tell us about this whole werewolf king thing? What happened with that?"

"When do you guys need to get back?" Wyatt asked quietly.

"We are staying here until we get things with your mate sorted out. So why don't you catch us up to speed over everything we have missed?" Tyler said. There was no way they would leave Wyatt right now. They would stay there to help him through this moment. Him and Lilly were devastated. They couldn't help their son and he was going to have to part with his mate. He couldn't risk killing her. There was no other choice. They needed to stay with Wyatt while he got his mind right. He needed to accept that he had to let his mate go. This was going to be Wyatt's hardest moment yet and they were going to be there to help him through it.
