Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 32

Wyatt didn't want to release his hold on Freya. He didn't want her leaving his side again. He kissed her fingers and wished he could kiss her lips. He could technically, right? At the same time, he didn't want to risk hurting her. He didn't want to ever put his hands on her like that again. Instead, he resigned himself to kissing her hand again as he held onto it. "Don't be rash. I will be back soon." Freya whispered into his back. She squeezed his hand once more. "I want to come back to a well-oiled pack. So, you better not neglect your duties alpha." Freya felt his back vibrate from his chuckle.

"Are you telling me to do my job as an alpha and not worry about you while you are gone?" Wyatt grinned.

"You are clever after all. I was beginning to wonder." Freya teased playfully. She slowly lowered her hand from his eyes. He kept his eyes shut while she squeezed both her arms around his body, hugging him from behind. Be a good wolf and maybe I'll bring you back a treat.

Wyatt growled lowly and hugged her hands on his stomach. I want the whole meal not a treat. Your body will be my entre and I am going to be starving. Prepare yourself.

Freya kissed his back and gave him one more squeeze. Leaving him was hard to do. Especially because she could feel how much he needed her. He was in turmoil and needed his mate. But she was the reason he was in turmoil. She had to at least try to fix this. She had to give it her best shot. "Take care of yourself." She whispered out and then pulled herself away. She had to leave him quickly, like a pulling off a bandage. She quickly leaped up to the tree's and dashed through the sky. Leaving Wyatt once again. Wyatt stood there with his eyes closed. He was remembering her scent and her touch. He could still feel her warmth on his back. This was utter t*****e. He had to restrain himself from not following after her. His instinct wanted him to go after his mate. To keep her as close as possible so he could protect her.

"Wyatt." Lilly said calmly as she placed her hand on his arm. She watched as his gray eyes fell upon her. "I know you don't want to hear this but you should prepare yourself mentally." "There is nothing to prepare for mom. Even if this can't be fixed, I am not going to live without her." Wyatt didn't care. No matter how difficult it would be they would make it work. "Son." Tyler said as he stood in front of him. "Do you realize what you are saying? What you are talking about is more than difficult. What about the future? What about your lineage?" "Dad... I don't exactly need to see for that to work, right?" Wyatt gave his father a crooked smile. His father was talking about children.

"And how will that work? Being blindfolded around your mate and children? And then what if there is an accident and you end up seeing her? What if you accidentally injure her or worse?" Lilly added calmly.

"Just stop. I know you both mean well. But you aren't thinking about me completely. What would you guys have done? Would you really have left and separated? What if you just believed everyone when they said dad was dead? He could still be stuck in a cave if you hadn't continued looking for him." Wyatt shook his head. "I know you mean well. But we will figure it out. If I have to blind myself to prevent myself from accidentally hurting her then I will."

Lilly and Tyler looked at each other. It was no use. Their son wasn't going to change his mind. At moments like this it was nice how their minds flowed between them. They both already knew how each other felt. They both agreed that they would protect Wyatt. He was first. No matter what kind of person Freya is, Wyatt is their son. Together they worked out a secret in their minds. Just in case, they would also be prepared. Wyatt wouldn't be happy with them, but they would do what they had to.

Freya hopped from the trees. She walked up to the girl with caramel skin who was excitedly chatting with Jin. Wow. The two of them had way too much peppy energy for her taste.

Jin turned and looked at Jason and Freya. "I'm coming too."

"Jin. No." Freya shook her head. This wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

"Ciana told me you are going to Jester's for the black pearl. Are you crazy?! I can't let you go alone." Jin knew a lot of the dangerous people in the world. She had lived with most of them for years. Some she had seen in passing. Jester was one of the most unpredictable crazies in the world.

"Ciana told me you are going to Jester's for the black pearl. Are you crazy?! I can't let you go alone." Jin knew a lot of the dangerous people in the world. She had lived with most of them for years. Some she had seen in passing. Jester was one of the most unpredictable crazies in the world.

Freya shot Ciana an irritated look. "Jin. I'll be fine. You are staying here and watching over Wyatt for me. Besides you can't leave Jason alone." She could see the anxiety building up in Jason at the thought of his mate leaving. "Besides... Jester might be dangerous, but he won't hurt me."

"Who is this Jester?" Jason asked, trying to follow along.

"Jester is a vampire. He is dangerous but only to those who he is after. To me though he is more annoying than dangerous. He is more interested in keeping me than killing me." Freya sighed in annoyance. She didn't want to go to see Jester, but she was pretty sure he had the black pearl. Well at least he did as long as he didn't trade it. "There is no need for you to come Jin. Honestly, you being there would make it more difficult." Freya lied in order to keep Jin there where she would be safe.

Jason was perceptive and picked up on what Freya was doing. She might be saying Jester isn't dangerous to her but there was something she wasn't saying. He appreciated that she wasn't going to take Jin into a dangerous situation. He knew he was being selfish. Freya was Wyatt's mate and should be protected. But Jin was his mate, and he couldn't lose her.

Jin's shoulders sagged a bit in defeat. She then looked at Ciana. "Are you going to come back here?"

"After I finish taking Freya around there are a few more things I still need to do. But then I will be coming to stay with you for a little bit. At least until this whole war with the demons is settled." Ciana smiled at her friend. She was glad to see how well Jin looked and was astonished she had found a mate. She looked up at Jason. "Take good care of her."

Jason chuckled. Cheeky dragon. "You don't need to say that. She is my world." Jason pulled Jin into his arms. He then looked at Freya. "Make sure you make it back safely. Wyatt needs you." He knew just how much Wyatt needed her too. Because he needed Jin the same way.

"I'm coming back to him. Tell him if I find out he has been slacking then we won't be sharing rooms for a while." Freya grinned and Jason chuckled.

"Well, that'll motivate him for sure." Jason watched as Ciana shifted into a snow-white dragon. He marveled at the beauty of the beast in front of him. He watched as Freya climbed on her. She nodded her head to him and Jin gave them a small smile. Then the wings of the dragon began to move creating gusts of wind underneath it. Soon the dragon was in the air and flew off in a distant direction.

Jason held onto Jin's shoulders. "I didn't want you to go. I couldn't bear for you to leave me."

"I know. I wanted to protect Freya for Wyatt though. Yet, she is still protecting me." A couple tears trickled down Jin's face. "She is going to be facing something dangerous. That's why she won't let me come too."

Jason squeezed his hands on her shoulders. Jin had realized what Freya was doing too. "I'm sure she will be fine. She is one of the best right?" Jason said, trying to make Jin feel better. "Come on. Let's get back to Wyatt. I'm sure he needs us now."

Wyatt sat at the table by himself. He listened as his family and pack members laughed and reminisced over old times. Cedric was joking about how much Tyler didn't like Tristan in the beginning. And Avery was talking about how big of a jerk Tyler had been when Lilly was first brought to the pack. They were all having a good time. And Wyatt couldn't be part of it. He didn't feel like having a good time. He was missing half of his heart. He had just realized that he was in love with her and now she can't be by his side. He did not even get to tell her how he felt yet. He felt a dark jealousy creep into his heart. Everyone in there was happy with their mates. They could not possibly understand how he felt. And why the hell was this stuff always happening to him? How could he be surrounded by all these people and be this lonely? He felt like no one understood him. Even his parents were telling him to move on from Freya. They told him that his relationship with her can't work and that it would be too dangerous.

He squeezed his fists in anger. His parents never would have separated from each other. They would have found a way to be together. And that was what he was going to do with Freya. If they couldn't cure him then they would find a way. There was no one else for him but her. There couldn't be anyone else for him but her.

"Wyatt." Jason pulled out a chair next to his brother and sat beside him. "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. And I am always behind you. I'll support your decision." He then sighed as Wyatt turned his head to look at him. "So don't lock me out. Don't shut down on me. Promise?"

Wyatt smiled and nodded his head.

"Besides... Freya said if she finds out you've been slacking then she won't be sharing rooms with you for a while." Jason grinned and nudged his brother's shoulder.

Wyatt chuckled. "It's cute that she thinks she actually has a choice there." He gave his brother a crooked smile. He couldn't wait to hold her again and share their nights together.

"Eh, we let them think they have a choice, right?" Jason chuckled knowing that their women had them both whipped.

"Do you think she's safe?" Wyatt asked, staring out the window into the darkness.

"Your mate is a wrecking ball man. Not only is she safe but she is out there taking names. She's amazing. You've got a great partner with her." "Thank you."

"For what?" Jason tilted his head and looked at his brother.

"For still talking about her like she is still my mate. Mom and dad... well they don't think I should stay with her if we can't fix this." Wyatt frowned. He cared what his parents thought, and it hurt him that they disagreed with his choice.

"She is your mate. I would do the same thing Wyatt. I'd rip my eyes out too for Jin. I told you. I will support you no matter what you choose. And mom and dad are just worried. They'll accept your choice." Jason glanced over looking at their laughing parents. They were wonderful loving parents. They would accept Wyatt's decision...right?

"I hope so. My decision is that I won't live without her. So whatever that ends up meaning..." Wyatt trailed off quietly.

"I told you Wyatt. I will protect her for you. Even if it means protecting her from yourself. You might be a big bad Alpha king but I'm a guardian, pup." Jason smirked as he emphasized the p.

"I'm glad I have you Jason. You are probably one of the few people who can actually stop me in a rage." Was there an Alpha out there who could stop him with his new power? Not likely. He figured that it would take a guardian to hold him off.

"Try not to worry. Let's just take it one day at a time. Okay?" Jason looked out into the darkness. If anything, this would give his parents a couple days to come to terms with Wyatt's decision. He felt guilty. This was the second time Wyatt had something bad happen when it came to his mate. The first time he was rejected and now this time he is trying to kill his own mate. And then here he is, the guardian, who isn't supposed to have a mate. He looked over to the couch where Jin was giggling with Lilly. His heart hurt for his brother. Freya should be in there too. No wonder Wyatt was sitting in here all alone.

"Don't worry Jase. I know my role and position. I'll lead the pack through training tomorrow. Besides I have to do a good job right? I can't have Freya coming back disappointed." Wyatt stood up from the chair. "I'm going to turn in early tonight." He patted Jason's back and slowly walked up the stairs towards his room.

Jason watched him leave with a frown. He glanced over and saw his father was also watching Wyatt leave. He had an unreadable expression on his face. He watched as he noticed Tyler's hands ball up at his sides. His face looked rigid for a moment. Then that quickly it disappeared, and he was interacting normally with everyone else. His dad must be worrying about Wyatt too. Jason sighed and got up to join Jin. Once again. There was nothing he could do to help his brother.
