Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 43

Wyatt immediately walked up to Freya after they got out of the cars. They had just arrived at the rendezvous point and he needed to talk to her before everything started. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his chest. He clung onto her tightly and leaned his head into the crook of her neck. "Please be careful." Wyatt whispered softly. He was fighting against his instincts here. Every fiber in his body was screaming at him not to bring his mate here. She should be safely tucked away in the pack house where he wouldn't have to worry about her. But that wouldn't have been fair. To any of them really. Freya is an experienced fighter and is strong. So while he wanted to keep her safe they could use her strength now. He breathed in her scent allowing it to comfort his nerves. He felt her delicate hands wrapped around him as she leaned her head into his chest.

"You be careful too." Freya's voice was quiet.

Wyatt leaned his chin on her head and could see Jason was also holding Jin close and talking to her. They didn't know what to expect and no matter how the numbers were on their side it would be dangerous. No outcomes were ever guaranteed. Wyatt lifted his head and reached down lifting Freya's chin with his finger. He offered her a gentle smile before he leaned forward and pressed his lips against her. He felt the jolts of electricity spark upon contact. Her sweet lips were intoxicating, and he wished they were back home so he could take advantage of her lips more. The nights should be made for love making. He reluctantly pulled apart and leaned his forehead into hers.

"We will continue this back at the house." Freya said with a seductive smile and then pecked his lips once more. She watched as his eyes smiled down at her. They were both thinking the same thing.

This was different for Freya. This would be her first time engaging into a fight where she actually cared about others who were fighting. Her desire to protect Wyatt and her pack was stirring an energy inside of her. One that had been there since she and Wyatt were fully mated but was locked within her. She glanced around as everyone was now beginning to merge together. She walked along with Wyatt until they reached the witches who were waiting for them. The night air was cold. Little clouds formed from her breath and a chilling breeze swirled through her hair strands. Wyatt pulled her in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. Maybe he was cold too? Though it was more likely he wanted to make sure she stayed warm.

"The witches are in position and will put the seal up as soon as you move inside. We are heading into the village to talk to the other witches. There are a handful of witches at your disposal. They will each trail behind your fighters and assist as needed." Erica spoke directly to Wyatt since he was the one in charge.

"They know that Meryl is mine, right?" Freya pinned her deadly gaze on Erica.

"They know she is for you guys to deal with. They wouldn't feel comfortable fighting against her anyways. She is very powerful." Erica watched the green eyes grown darker.

Freya could feel her blood beginning to boil as she thought about the witch. And everything she had caused her. She had suffered for years because of her. Her mind began to drift and become the huntress. She took a step forward out of Wyatts hold as the wind swirled around her. She tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes. She began to seek out the familiar power, she was hunting. She lowered her hand and ran her fingers over her dagger. It was a bit primal, but she was reconnecting with her killer. "Freya?" Wyatt's voice was concerned.

This is where working with others was a problem. She wanted to go off on her own and do what she needed to. She glanced back at Wyatt and then scanned over the others. She could do this alone. When it came to hunting, she has done it all. If she was fast enough, she could take out all the weaker witches then she could focus all of her energies on Meryl. She inhaled the cool night air as she struggled against her learned nature.

You are not alone anymore Freya. Even if we can kill them on our own we don't have to. You have others here. Our mate is here. We can't leave him behind. Ember gentle reminded Freya that she didn't need to only depend upon herself.

I don't know if I can just jump into depending on others. I can't just trust them blindly. Freya has been alone and fighting for so long. It would be weird if she did just automatically trust everyone. Though she did trust Wyatt, Jin and Jason. Some habits were hard to break. And her blood lust was one of those things. She had always got a high when she killed. It was how she knew she was alive. It was this killer nature that had allowed her to survive. And in this moment now her body was remembering the hunt. She looked at Wyatt and could see his silver eyes studying her quietly. She offered him a small smile.

"I was just sensing for Meryl's presence. I'm having a hard time getting a read on her energy. She might be blocking it? Or maybe the manor has a type of energy shield." Freya wasn't going to elaborate further on everything she was feeling. She looked over to Erica who only shrugged.

"I wish I knew more but I don't. She might have something keeping her energy hidden though. If that is the case, she will be tougher for you to find." Erica frowned.

"If she is there, I will find her. Her tricks might work at a distance on me, but they would never work up close." Freya rolled her shoulders and tilted her neck to each side as she loosened up. She then stepped back to Wyatt's side who was all to eager to pull her back into him. She inwardly smiled and relaxed against his warmth. His scent went into her nostrils and she allowed it to calm the killer inside of her. At least tame it down some. She needed to focus. She would be working as a unit with these people and needed to do her best to try to rely on them. They all had a part to play. And then if they messed up their part, she could cover for them.

"You sure everything is, okay?" Wyatt whispered into her ear. He watched as her head tilted up and her green emeralds met with his. A small smile rested on her face and she slowly nodded to him. "Be careful in there. If you get in trouble and need my help, call to me. Connect to me and I will find you."

Freya's smiled grew wider. "Same goes to you Wyatt. If you need my help reach out to me." She felt his hand brush a strand of hair away from her cheek. His hot fingertips made her shiver slightly as they grazed her skin. He leaned in slowly. His eyes lowered to her lips before he gently brushed them with his own.

He straightened up and then looked over everyone. "You all know what to do, right?" He watched as everyone nodded. "Alright. Then let's do this quickly and efficiently. Stay with your groups. Let's not get careless and have any casualties."

They started to form their small attack groups. Sam was with Jin and Tony, Adam was next to Freya. Winston stood at Jason's flank who was next to Xander and Kade took his position as Wyatts side. They other wolves shifted and took their own positions in the respected groups. Tony and Xander only had members of their own wolves in their pack for communications sake. The only ones they wouldn't be able to communicate with would be Jin, Sam, Jason and Winston. "Alright. Let's get into positions." Wyatts eyes flashed to Freya once more before he finally shifted into his wolf. The silver beast towered over the other wolves. Even members of the Diamond pack looked in awe of their Alpha in his new tribrid form. He wasn't as tall as Jason's bear, but he was now bigger then half of his size.

Freya grabbed her daggers into each hand. She had decided she wasn't going to shift for this fight. She hadn't practiced a lot with her wolf, and she was going to rely on the skills she knew. She was faster now using her tribrid speed and was also stronger. You sure you don't want to shift? She heard Wyatts voice in her head and she looked to the side to see the large silver wolf looking at her. She smiled and shook her head no to him. No not this time. I'm more comfortable fighting like this. She watched as he slowly nodded his head.

Each group slowly began to move away from where they had gathered. They each went their own way as they circled around the border to the area where their entrance was located. They waited until everyone had gotten to their spot and then in unison, they all moved quickly inside. Freya looked back to see two witches joining their flanks. And around the border other witches were creating a seal. This seal would seal them all in and everyone else out. There was no turning back now.

Small tingles of excitement ran over Freya's body. Her body's learned response to killing. This was the moment she always looked forward to. She gripped her daggers and held them at her sides. She looked at Adams wolf. "Stay behind me. Let me go in first." The wolf nodded his head slightly and Freya stepped in front of him.

Freya glanced up at the night sky. The clouds were dark as was the night. The moon was hiding behind the black clouds not showing itself on a night like this. Freya paused right in front of her groups entrance. She closed her eyes as she tried to sense the energies just beyond the door and even further with in. She still wasn't sensing Meryl's energy but there was another powerful energy inside as well as several other witches. There was also another energy inside that was not a witch. Well, it didn't seem like a witch entirely. It was different but it was still strong. She wished she had more time to analyze it to know exactly what it was. There was indeed a type of protection shield over the manor and it was messing with Freya's sensing ability. Once she was inside, she would be able to see things more clearly.

A cold wind began to whip around violently. It swirled over each party and then lifted up to the sky. The clouds swirled around in a circle until a dark donut cloud was formed in the sky. This was the sign by Jin. It was the signal for everyone to attack. Freya's face went blank as her gaze fixated forward. She lifted a dagger half up with one in front of her and one behind her. With her lightning speed she dashed through the door, with the wolves following right behind her.
