Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 38

"I'm glad you made it back alright. I take it Jester didn't give you any problems?" Jin said casually, not noticing the minor twitch from Wyatt's eyes. "Who is Jester?" Wyatt asked tilting his head to look at Freya.

"He is a vampire. I needed to get the black pearl off of him." Freya said casually trying to brush off the conversation.

"Just a vampire? Try one of the fiercest vampires around!" Jin said with wide eyed excitement.

Freya felt Wyatt's fingers squeeze into her arm slightly. "So he is dangerous?" Wyatt asked with a chill in his tone.

"That's an understatement." Jin said oblivious at the tension she was causing. "How were you able to get the pearl from him?"

"He gave it to me." Freya looked down at her hands. Jester was not a danger to her. It was the Shriek and the other vengeful spirit that were dangerous.

"He just gave it to you?!" Jin leaned her hands on her knees as she was waiting in anticipation.

"Why would he just give it to you?" Wyatt's tone was low with a slight growl in it.

"Because... We are friends." Freya said with a small smile. She could call him a friend now even though she couldn't before. He was indeed her friend. Regardless of the fact he was interested in Freya as a potential mate.

Jin furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Freya confused. "If you guys were friends then why didn't you tell me that? Why was it too dangerous for me to come along?"

"Yes Freya... please elaborate." Wyatt looked at her with a darkness in his eyes. One that Jason didn't miss.

"Well, would you look at the time?! It's been a long day and I am pretty tired. I think it is time for bed." Jason coughed a bit trying to get Jin's attention.

"Go ahead and go to bed. I'll be up after I hear Freya's story." Jin said completely, oblivious to the growing tension.

Freya looked at Jason and gave him a small appreciative smile. He at least tried. Jin was just too innocent sometimes. She wasn't going to be able to escape this conversation. And maybe it was best to get everything out since Jester planned on visiting her. "Okay." Freya said with a sigh. "Umm... I guess at first I didn't really think of Jester as a friend. It wasn't until this time now that I was able to understand friendship. Jester had never been dangerous to me. He was interested in me being with him as a mate." Freya heard the low throaty growl from Wyatt. She ignored him and continued on with her story. "He actually protected me twice when I went to visit him. Once from the Shriek. Which will kill anyone who fears death." Freya bit her lip and then looked into Jin's green eyes. "I never feared death before so running into the Shriek wasn't a problem. It would be though for someone like you. I don't fear death now either. But I smell differently now that I am mated to Wyatt so the Shriek hunted me. Jester shielded me from the Shriek. Then there was something else in the woods. It was something that was new. A very vengeful and evil spirit. It was after love. Jester shielded me with his body trying to protect me from it. We were lucky. Ciana was able to purify it." Freya turned her head to the side to look at Wyatt. "He risked his life to protect mine. He also is planning to come and visit me here. I think he wants to get a look at my mate." She gave Wyatt a small smile.

Wyatt offered her a smile back and nodded his head. He wanted to meet this guy too. The least he could do was thank him for protecting Freya. Though his possessive wolf didn't like the idea of another being interested in his mate. But Freya was here by his side. She had chosen him.

"And that's enough story for tonight." Jason said tugging Jin up with him. "Have a good night you two." Jason winked at Wyatt and with a crooked grin he pulled Jin along with him. His brother and Freya were still new mates who hadn't been together in a while. They would need to get reacquainted tonight.

Freya watched as they left and then felt Wyatt pulling her up to her feet. She looked up into his silver eyes. "Are you upset?"

Wyatt reached his hand out and brushed her hair behind her ear. He then leaned forward and pressed his lips against her forehead. "No Freya. I don't like hearing that you were in danger. And I am not ecstatic to hear another guy is interested in you either... You put yourself at risk for me, for us." He gave her a gentle smile and wrapped his arms around her. He pulled her body tight into his chest and stood there holding her for a few moments. "I was so afraid I would never be able to see your face again." His voice whispered

out.

Freya smiled into his chest. "You were such a drama queen. You were going to claw your eyes out." She let out a muffled laugh.

Freya smiled into his chest. "You were such a drama queen. You were going to claw your eyes out." She let out a muffled laugh.

"I don't give a damn about my eyesight. What I needed was you. It was the only thought going through my mind." His lips then curled up into a mischievous grin. "However, I am still open for a blindfold in the bedroom." His voice dropped a bit lower with a suggestive hint in it.

"Oh?" Freya shrugged a bit and backed away from him. "We will have to see about that then sometime. For now I am needing a nice hot shower."

"You smell fine to me." Wyatt said as his pupils dilated with want.

"Nope." Freya took another step away from him. "Don't even think about it." She then dashed up the stairs. She heard his footsteps right behind her as she shut the bathroom door and locked it giggling. She leaned her back against the door and listened to him breathing just on the other side. She could see his shadow from underneath the door and smell his close scent.

"Freya." His voice cooed to her.

"I'm getting my shower Wyatt." Freya giggled though her heart was racing inside of her. She heard the gentle thump of his body resting against the door.

In a raspy voice he said, "Hurry and get your shower."

She didn't hesitate. She quickly took her few moments of allotted time to get a hot shower and clean all of her travel stench off of her. The hot water cascaded over her body as she lathered up richly with soap. She wanted to make sure she didn't smell. She knew exactly what was waiting for her once she finished cleaning up. She closed her eyes letting the water run over her. She had told Wyatt that she loved him right before she marked him. They hadn't had a moment alone since everything happened. She wanted to tell him that she meant it. She didn't just say it in the spur of the moment. It was how she really felt.

She wrapped up in a towel and stood staring at the door. She felt a bit nervous for some reason. Maybe it was because they had been apart for awhile? Or maybe it was because she planned to tell him she loved him again? She took in a deep breath and slowly made her way to the door.

She was surprised when she pushed the door open completely. She was expecting to see Wyatt on the bed, but he wasn't there. She looked around the room, but she didn't see him in there at all. Maybe he got called out? She walked over towards the balcony and looked out the window. She peered upwards at the night sky that was peppered with stars and the moon. She had never been a fan of the moon goddess or the dark priestess. However, she had to admit that because of both of them she was happy right now. Because Wyatt was her mate she had finally found a home. Him being her mate would have been the moon goddesses doing. And because Kali gave her the information she needed about the blood potion (though she had to barter for it) she was able to restore his blood back to normal. Well almost normal. He is stronger now and now he will never be affected by a blood potion again. She heard the gentle creek of the door and she turned her head to look behind her. Wyatt had walked in with a towel around him with damp hair. His eyes immediately met with hers and he smiled.

"I figured I probably needed to get a shower too. Besides, I was going nuts just waiting out here for you." He smirked at her as their eyes stayed locked together. He could sense her minor nervousness and he was a bit nervous too. He walked up to her slowly. He placed his hand onto her shoulder and gently turned her to face him. He gazed upon her face. His hand brushed against her cheek and then traced along her face line. "Freya... I missed you so much." His voice came out in a gentle tone and then he swallowed hard. There was something he wanted to tell her. Something he didn't get to say to her earlier. "I love you, Freya." He watched her eyes soften as a smile spread across her face.

"I love you too. I wanted you to know that... that I really mean it. My heart completely belongs to you." Freya looked into his gray eyes that were staring back at her with love and adoration.

His hands were both resting on each side of her face and he leaned his head in against her forehead. His fingers slightly moved over her cheeks. "I don't know what I would have done if I would have really hurt you or..." His voice trailed off. If he would have killed her, he would never be able to forgive himself.

"Wyatt it's over now. It's okay. I'm okay. Besides, don't think I would have been an easy kill. I have spent most of my life hunting demons. I am not exactly delicate." Freya giggled as she watched his lips curl up.

"Wyatt it's over now. It's okay. I'm okay. Besides, don't think I would have been an easy kill. I have spent most of my life hunting demons. I am not exactly delicate." Freya giggled as she watched his lips curl up.

"No, you aren't delicate. But still, my queen, you are no match for me." He reached his arms around her and hoisted her into the air. Her towel unraveled from her body and his eyes drifted over the deliciousness of his mate. He held her up as he walked with her and laid her down onto the bed, letting his own towel drop to the floor.

Their breaths were deeper and ragged as he climbed into bed beside her. He crawled over her, tracing over her exposed stomach with his fingertips. He listened as her breath caught in anticipation. He met with her eyes that were also filled with want. He paused over her for a moment as their eyes held against the other. A small smile spread over both of their lips. This moment had been long overdue. Finally they were together again.

He leaned his head down and pressed his lips against hers. He licked at her bottom lip and then dipped his tongue into her mouth. He wanted to pour how he was feeling into his kiss. The kiss started out warm and slow before it began to speed up. Their tongues danced together passionately as his hands explored over her body. He felt her hands come around his neck deepening their kiss. A soft moan escaped into his mouth.

The feeling of flesh against flesh sent pleasurable tingles over both of them. Their connection to one another was now stronger than before. Since both were now marked and claimed. Their link to one another was growing. They only added fuel to their desire for one another.

His lips devoured hers hungrily as his hand wandered over her body. He growled into the kiss as his hand landed on her soft mound. Her fingers curled into his hair as she rolled her hips into him. Her invitation was accepted. While their lips were locked in place he thrusted inside of her. She gasped into his mouth and then reclaimed his lips with hers. Her moans quieted in his rough kisses. The electricity surged between them as their hips moved together in a passionate dance. The pace increasing as their need rose. "Freya." Wyatt breathed out as he trailed hot kisses to her neck. He licked his mark on her and then pressed his lips over it, sucking on the mark he placed on her. He listened to her moans as he felt the build up between them. He timed his release with hers and the two rode out their high together.

Freya felt her eyelids draw heavy. From both the divine exhaustion and her tiring journey. She hadn't slept well since she left Wyatt and she knew he hadn't slept well either. She felt his arms wrap around her and pulled her into his front. warm light surged between them as something new formed between them.

"I love you Freya." Wyatt kissed her head and he tried to catch his breath.

"I love you Wyatt." Freya rested her head on his chest with her arm draped over him.

"Freya..." Wyatt then leaned up and settled Freya below him. "I am accepting you as my present and future. You are now and forever my fairy mate." He then leaned down and kissed her forehead and then her eyes.

She felt a gentle warmth flow over her, like warm water being poured over her body. A new power ignited inside of her. It was there but it felt sealed. She looked up to see Wyatt's tired eyes looking down at her with love. "I can feel something happened but I don't know what."

"I know you will have the gift of fairy sight now. But I am not sure if you get anything else or not. The fairy princess bestows powers to her mate, but I don't know if it works the same with me. I guess we will have to wait and see." He laid back down feeling content and pulled her back towards him. They have completed everything between them.

For the first time since everything happened the two of them fell into a deep relaxing sleep. They both clung to one another afraid to let go. Their breaths fell in sync as the moonlight shone in through the window. They were not the only ones celebrating at this moment.
