Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 49

Wyatt walked back to the pack house alone, but he wouldn't be returning alone. He had already ment the far end of the pack territory. He told him to offer Xander and Tony his sincere apologies while they now... they needed some time.

However, he was making some changes to what Jason had in mind. He was bringing Jin and Freya back comfort but dammit, it was only natural to seek comfort with your mate. And he knew that Jin could o their family too. At the very least their mates would mourn knowing their mates were mourning. When Wyatt walked inside he saw Jin and Freya sitting at the table. They both immediately stood up. H "Where is Jason?" Jin's voice quietly asked her green eyes flickered to the door and then back to Wyatt "Jason is... he isn't handling things well right now. He just wants to be alone. So we are going to take a anyone around. I told him I was staying with him no matter what and that I was coming back to get a f "He doesn't want me around?" Jin bit her bottom lip as her eyes teared up slightly.

"Like I said. He is having a hard time. He isn't going to like it but I have decided that all four of us will Jin too. "I think Jason is just trying to punish himself and make himself more miserable. Which is why comfort to him. Whether he says it or not."

Jin nodded her head. "He's carrying the weight of everyone on his shoulders. It's what he does. Don't her fingers together and then ran up the stairs to get some things.

Wyatt looked back to Freya with a small smile. She walked up to him and leaned her forehead into hin shut out the world too. The problem is you only plan to do it for a day or so. Then the days turn to we others into your heart again. Then you can avoid getting hurt." Freya pulled back and looked up to me "I forgot how great it is to have someone. I remember all that now. And no matter how immense the p Wyatt leaned down and kissed her forehead. He then wrapped his arms around her tightly. "I love you.

You want nothing to do with them. You convince yourself you are better off not allowing his gray eyes.

He whispered. "Let's pack up a couple things really quick. I want to get back to Jason."

Wyatt walked into the cabin house. It was a decent size, big enough to accommodate a couple families. Which was its purpose. He walked inside first and the two girls entered behind him. His eyes immediately met with the dark ones that flashed up to him from the chair he was sitting at.

You don't want Jin to be in pain, right? She is hurting for you. I knew I couldn't leave them behind when I saw their faces. Wyatt watched Jason's eyes immediately look at Jin.

Jason looked at the dull look in his mate's green eyes. He could see the worry and apprehension in them. She was biting her bottom lip and twisting her toe into the floor. He could see she was nervous and uncertain. He was hurting over Cody but now felt another stab inside of him seeing Jin like that. He didn't want her to feel unwanted. He did want her; he just didn't think he deserved having her right now. That was until just a second ago when he saw her face. Wyatt was right. He didn't think about Jin hurting not being with him. He was only thinking about depriving himself and at that moment he felt like a bad mate not thinking about her. His eyes then softened. He held his gaze onto Jin and slightly motioned her over to him.

Jin dropped her bag onto the floor and rushed into Jason's lap. She curled up into him quietly and rested her head on his chest. She felt his arm come around her and with his other hand he intertwined his fingers with hers. She sighed into him. She would sit there quietly with him. As long as he needed. He didn't have to talk to her. She just wanted to be near him. She wanted to go through this with him and was glad that he was letting her. She was afraid the whole time that he would ask her to leave. She squeezed her fingers around his trying to show him that she was here for him.

Wyatt smiled as he looked at his brother and Jin. He could see how his brother's shoulders instantly relaxed when she curled up into him. Her presence, her scent and her touch were all a type of healing for him. And that was okay. It was okay to work on healing. Cody wouldn't have wanted them to lock themselves away from the world. He wasn't that type of person.

"Freya and I are going to fix something to eat." Wyatt looked back to Freya and nodded towards the kitchen. Jason and him hadn't eaten all day. And neither of them were in the mood to eat. But the girls needed to eat something. So he would help prepare them dinner. Maybe he could pick at it a little just so the girls eat something.

Freya wasn't super handy in the kitchen but she was learning. She worked alongside Wyatt quietly as she stirred a bowl. She was closely watching him. He was putting on a brave face. Maybe for her benefit or for Jason's? But she could see the strain in his eyes. More than once he dropped something while they were cooking. His mind was obviously not in a good place. He had to always be strong for the pack as their Alpha. And had to be strong as the Alpha king. He was used to putting up a front so he probably didn't even realize he was doing it.

Freya looked down at the sad looking omelet she was making. She winced a bit at her pathetic cooking skills. She pulled a piece of it up to her mouth and shrugged satisfied. At least it tasted good. She cut it up and placed it onto a few plates. She turned to see Wyatt had also finished up cooking the bacon. Yes, they were having breakfast foods for dinner but it was something easy to make. She looked back at her deformed omelets...well supposed to be easy to make. She set the plates down on the table along with Wyatt. She went to get drinks and he went to bring Jason and Jin in.

Wyatt walked into the living room and motioned his head to the kitchen when Jason looked at him. He watched his brother frown a bit showing he wasn't interested. But the moment Wyatt looked at Jin and back up to him his eyes widened with acknowledgement. He nodded his head and stood up dropping Jin to her feet slowly.

"Let's get something to eat." Jason said softly. His mind kept playing over and over all of his childhood. How his four siblings all played together. He even had a few memories from when it was just him and Cody in Elysium. His thoughts were on his brother. While he wasn't hungry, he understood Wyatt's intentions. It was to make sure that the girls at least ate. He took a seat at the table and Jin took one next to him while Wyatt and Freya sat across from them.

Freya watched how the guys were just poking at their food. Never once actually putting any to their mouth. She knew what she was about to do was a dirty tactic, but they needed to eat.

"I understand if you don't want to eat it. I'm not used to cooking. It looks horrible, doesn't it? Probably tastes bad too." Freya frowned as she poked her fork at her omelet.

"It's fine Freya. It is great." Wyatt said, giving her a smile.

She tilted her head to the side. "It's okay. You don't have to eat it. I know you are just being considerate." Her eyes flickered as she noticed both men fork some of the food into their mouths. "See, it is good." Wyatt said, giving her a crooked smile.

She looked at him and then up to Jason. "You don't have to force down more than one bite. I'll work on getting better at cooking." She was making herself cringe, but it was working. Both men quickly shoveled the food into their mouths.

Jin looked up to Freya and took a small sip of her drink. She then glanced over at Jason's empty place. She knew Freya well enough to know she wasn't bothered about the food. She was proud of herself for catching on to what Freya was doing. She quietly watched everything play out perfectly. She felt helpless. She wanted to help but didn't know how. So, she did the only thing she could and that was just stay by Jason's side. If he wanted to talk to her, she would be there and if not she would still be there.

Two days had passed since they felt Cody's light diminish. Jason had remained fairly quiet, but he had been keeping Jin close to his side. Wyatt allowed himself to break down the first night when he was alone with Freya. Finally letting his grief run freely. Since then though he had also been quiet. He was often in deep thought and looking through the window to the outside. Sometimes it seemed like he was waiting for something, but he wasn't sure what it was. But today he had a weird urge to return to the field. The one where the fairies usually were found the most. The same field where his mother got her memories back.

He stood up at the same time Jason ended up standing up. The two men looked at each other.

"I'm going to the field." Wyatt said quietly. Freya walked up to his side and linked arms with him.

"Strange. That is where I felt like going too." Jason didn't understand the sudden urge but just felt like he needed to go there. Jin was already being held at his side so the four of them slowly set off towards the field.

The two men didn't understand the strange urge they were having inside of them. Maybe it was their way of finally accepting Cody's death. It was the place they could feel closer to him so that they could say goodbye.
