Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 40

Wyatt had his arm wrapped around the small of Freya's back as he walked out to meet the two Alpha's. Jason was at Wyatt's side with Jin on his other side. They walked up to see Sam, Adam, and Winston standing in front of two large men. They both looked to be somewhere in their mid-twenties. One of the men had bleach blonde hair while the other had bright red hair. Both men had deep blue eyes. "Welcome to the Diamond pack." Wyatt extended his hand and firmly shook the two Alpha's hands. "This is my Queen and Luna, Freya."

"I am Alpha Xander from the Zigma pack." The man with blonde hair said.

"I am Alpha Tony from the Rosen pack." The breeze tossed his red locks gently. He looked at Wyatt for a moment and then his gaze landed on Freya. His gaze on her lingered as he stared at her intently. He was looking at Wyatt's mate for too long though. A low growl reverberated through Wyatt's chest making the man direct his attention back to Wyatt. He was shocked. As an Alpha no one had ever been able to make him feel intimidated or make him avert his gaze. But now looking at Wyatt he immediately lowered his head and looked at the ground.

"Forgive me, I meant no disrespect. It's just that." He looked back up to Freya. "We have met before... several years ago." Tony looked back up to see Freya tilting her head studying the man.

Freya took in gentle whiffs of the man's scent. It was familiar but she was having a hard time placing it. She looked at his face. She scanned his facial features and her eyes fell upon his hair color. She furrowed her brows as she began to recall something in an insignificant memory. His scent and hair color were being charted in her mind as she searched through her memories. Recognition filled her eyes suddenly. "Calibus, right? You were called Calibus." She watched the man nod and a smile raised over his face. "You do remember me." Tony said with a smile.

"Barely." Freya shrugged, it was the truth and she felt no need to sugar coat it. She listened as Xander snickered quietly. She felt Wyatt's fingers curl into her possessively, so she thought she best explain. She knew she needed to before her jealous mate loses control. "Calibus...errmm Tony, now right?" She saw him nod his head and then continued. "Tony was being kept as a pet by a couple of Oni's, a type of demon. Unfortunately for those Oni's they were a target for a client of mine. After I killed them, I saw Cal-Tony chained up. So, I unshackled him right before I left."

"And you liked to pretend you didn't have a heart." Jin teased as she leaned forward to look at Freya.

"You saved my life. Thank you." Tony nodded his head in respect to her. "You seem a lot... happier now than you did then."

"Hahhahah." Xander couldn't hold in the laugh. "Tough luck buddy." Tony turned and glared at him, but he only continued to laugh. "You see Tony here has had a crush on you since you saved him. He's out of luck now. Especially now that you are mated to the werewolf king."

"Thanks for sparing me embarrassment and humiliation. I appreciate you holding back Xan." Tony rolled his eyes and then looked up between Freya and Wyatt. "I'm not a home wrecker. So, you don't need to worry about me. I pledge my allegiance and my packs allegiance to the both of you."

Wyatt smiled and nodded his head towards Tony. "I can't blame you. You knew quality when you saw it." He chuckled as he felt Freya bump into him. She had an embarrassed look on her face. What he said was true. As long as the man understands she is off limits then they wouldn't have a problem. "What brings you two here? I hardly think it was just to meet me." Wyatt raised his eyebrows as he looked between the two men.

Xander smiled widely. "It was and it wasn't." His eyes met with Wyatts and he held his gaze there as he tried to study the man. "It is more to size you up. The thing is we don't know much about you. Hearing your pack is now under the ultimate rule of a stranger doesn't sit well with me. I wanted to meet you for myself. I want to see your character." He was going to speak honestly.

"Oh? And what if you don't like it?" Wyatt leaned back on his heels as a small smile spread over his lips. He understood him completely. In fact, he would have done the same thing. He would have wanted to check if the king of the werewolves could be a problem for his pack.

Xander's expression changed from a smile to a frown. "Then I would do what I had to in order to protect my pack and my mate. We are expecting our first pup in a few months. I just... I needed to see if I needed to make changes in order to protect my pack and family."

"Well, you are welcome to stay here and make up your mind about me. Congratulations on your pup. I'm sure you are very excited." The idea of having pups with Freya was exciting. After the demon war was over impregnating his mate would be the first thing on his agenda. Until then he needed to fine tune his baby making skills. For practice sake is all...

"Thank you. I'm nervous a bit but mostly excited. And understandably cautious." Xander rubbed the back of his head as a cheesy grin spread across his face.

Wyatt felt relaxed after talking to the two men. They were just being protective over their packs. He did need to talk with them about the demons. They were not at the last meeting and this was something important.

"There is only one thing I can think of that you should be nervous about right now." Wyatt said with a small frown. "I'm not sure if you know or not but the demons are massing for war." He watched as the two men nodded their heads. They were aware of the demons banding together. "A war against them is on the horizon and the werewolves are going to battle. We won't be going alone though. The fairy's will also be fighting against the demons and I believe the dragons will be joining us as well."

"Really, the dragons too?" Tony asked in shock. It was well known that the dragons kept to themselves. But they were very powerful. He felt a bit relieved hearing they would be entering the war.

Wyatt nodded to him. "It will still be a tough battle. But we have to take this chance to all strike together. The demons won't stop until they have taken over everything. Our best bet is to band together."

Xander nodded his head in agreement. "Our packs will fight with you." Xander looked over at Tony who shook his head in agreement. He then directed his attention to Jason who had been staring a hole through him and Tony. He wasn't a werewolf, he could tell by his scent. His was a scent he didn't recognize. There was no doubt there was a strong power emitting off of him though. By his side was a girl with green hair that he kept safely tucked in his arm.

"So what exactly are you?" Xander chuckled a bit with a side smile.

Jason sighed loudly and Wyatt laughed. "He's a werebear but he is special among them." His brother was very wary of strangers and he wasn't willing to play nice with their new guests. "He is my brother." Wyatt said proudly and slapped his brother on the back. "This is Jason and beside him is his mate, Jin."

"I've never met a werebear before. No wonder I didn't recognize your scent." Xander smiled. "I can see you aren't a fan of ours. Don't worry we don't mean any harm."

"We will see about that." Jason said tersely. Trust was earned. Too much had happened lately, and these men weren't getting a pass from him. He even gave his own mate a hard time at first. It was just who he was.

"I'm sure you are a nice guy to have around in a pinch. I would be interested in seeing your feral form sometime... If that is appropriate? I'm sorry if not. I'm just really curious."

Jason looked at Wyatt who he was encouraging to interact with the strangers. He was laced with irritation. His brother was too kind and accepting which is why he always ended up in trouble. Oh well. It was his job to protect him. No matter who was around he would do just that. He looked back at the man.

"My form isn't a secret or anything. Besides, I think it may be a good idea for you to see. It will let you know exactly what you will be dealing with if you harm my pack here." Jason said with a chill in his voice.

Tony chuckled his eyes smiling as he looked at Jason. He looked back at Wyatt. "You're very lucky. I wish I would have had a brother growing up. Maybe things would have been different...." He stopped his conversation there not wanting to get into any more of his past. He looked off in the distance where their two traveling packs were waiting. "I should probably let them get settled so they can rest from our travels."

"Sure thing. You guys go and get situated. And then the two of you can join us at the pack house for dinner?" Wyatt really wanted to get back to having private time with Freya, but he had a duty to the other packs. They have traveled to get to know their new king and queen. So, it was business first and pleasure later.

"Thank you. It would be an honor." Tony said. He walked away with Xander glancing back for just a moment. He would have to find a new girl to dream about. He always imagined finding the beauty who saved him and that the two of them would hit it off. Ah well. It was just a fantasy of his. One he would now have to let go.

"I like him." Tony said quietly looking over at Xander.

"I didn't want to like him to be honest... but I do too." Xander gave Tony a side smile. "Let's hope he is who he seems to be. We have both been burned in the past."

Tony frowned and nodded. That was true. He was sold to the oni's by his father's Beta, Alvin. He had betrayed their pack with some help from witches. Alvin then sold him to a life of torture. Xander's family was also betrayed by Alvin. He tried to portray himself as the chosen Alpha of the Rosen pack and tried to take one of the Xander's sisters as his mate. Luckily, Tony was freed by Freya around the same time. He came back to devastation. His father had been killed and his Beta had taken over as the Alpha. When he got wind of what was going on he immediately went to the Zigma pack and ended up meeting with Xander. Together they restored order by fighting together. After Alvin was killed Tony took his rightful place as Alpha. The two of them have remained close ever since. Xander was the closest person Tony had as a brother.

Wyatt watched the men walk away. He was curious about how Tony ended up in the hands of demons. Where was his pack? What pack wouldn't come to their Alpha's aid?

"Look at you being a hero and rescuing people." Jin bounced near Freya's side as she began to tease her again.

"Hardly. It was an afterthought really. I couldn't just leave him chained up... Although lately it feels like I am just some hero on a quest. Rescuing men in distress like my dear mate." Freya smirked as she felt hot breath near her neck. Her body shivered as she sensed his body heat on her back.

"Sounds to me like someone has always had a good heart." Wyatt cooed into her ear. "However..." His hot breath breathed against her neck. "From now on I'll be doing the rescuing." Freya had saved him. He couldn't refute that. But he was determined to protect her in the future. He lowered his lips upon his mark on her neck. He let his mouth brush against it as he placed soft sweet kisses over it. He smirked as he felt her body reacting to his touch. Her body shivered underneath him.

"Well, I don't like them." Jason folded his arms over his chest and snorted loudly.

Jin giggled and wrapped her arms around Jason. "You didn't like me either when we first met and now look at us."

"Let's hope that is not a sign of things to come." Freya giggled and Wyatt chuckled along with her.

"Honestly though Jason. I don't feel any ill will from them." Wyatt said, trying to calm his brother.

"Nope. Nuh uh. What you say doesn't count. Your feelings aren't accurate. After all you were the one who got lured out and injected with a blood potion. Remember?" Jason said smugly as he looked at his brother in triumph. Wyatt let out a low growl in irritation. "He does have a point there. You are just a bit naïve is all." Freya said matter of factly. She felt warm hands wrap around her waist turning her around into his front. He pulled her body flush against his and moved his lips an inch away from hers. "Hmmm naïve am I?" He growled seductively.

Freya giggled. She leaned forward acting like she was going to connect with his lips. The moment she felt his grip become loose on her she quickly hopped away from him. "Like I said... naïve."

Jason snickered as he watched Wyatt chase after Freya towards the pack house. His brother was finally back to normal and was the happiest he had ever seen him. If only they could just freeze this moment. It was times like this he wished they could just disappear from the world and escape the demon war. He knew it wasn't possible though. He just worried. A dangerous war like that would have casualties. And he was just hoping it wouldn't be any of the people he cared about the most.
