Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 50

Wyatt walked to the edge of the field. He rubbed Freya's hand and then let it go. He gave her a small smile and then walked out to the middle of the field with Jason as Jin walked to Freya's side. The two men were going to say goodbye to their brother. This was the best they could do until a proper memorial was done. The wind swayed on the golden weeds as they stood in the center of it. The blue sky was crystal clear and seemed to pool over them. The two men stood there not saying anything. Saying goodbye was hard.

"Jase..." Wyatt looked at his brother as a hum hit his head. He could see that Jason was hearing it too. He closed his eyes and listened. Someone was calling to him. With a voice and a song he knew by heart.

Jason could feel his energy inside of him swirling madly. It was being called by the song. He could hear his sister's voice and then it was being united with their mothers. They were calling to the energy that was inside of him. He closed his mind and opened his heart, connecting himself to be linked together.

Wyatt linked with his sister and also his mother. A deep rooted connection was now linking their powers together. Rhea was asking her mother for a power... one that she had gifted long ago... He quietly listened and hummed along to the song of remembrance. He rested a hand over his chest as a power swirled inside of him answering the princess, his sister. Through the song the sun shined brightly down on the two men.

The light that dances in the sun

It lurks in the leaves before they fall

In every corner of the world

You're dancing and listening to my song The flowers that bloom, it blooms for you. The song brings you closer towards me. Almost connecting our hearts as one We are singing together, though distantly

The voices are calling to me

From way over yonder, from far I can hear

Voices of laughter

Voices of singing

Echoing voices on the wind

There's a voice calling out from far away

It guides me onward everyday

As if it smiles as if it sings

The sound of wind echoes

Your voice that it brings

In happiness and in sadness

We reach for the distance

The uniting of our lands

Your hand in my hand

Together, under the same sun Can you hear the song I sing?

Bringing us closer to everything Now the moment has come at last

Awakening the magic formed in the past

Immediately a rush of wind swirled around the two men as a cascading energy pounded into their body. A familiar orange glow reappeared inside of their chests. They both fell to their knees as they felt the strong connection inside of them. It was Cody. He was back. The energy flickered through Cody's life in their minds. As if it was a movie projector. Memories of their lives with Cody and their childhood together. The swirling soon stopped and rested around them. Everything was quiet except for the sounds of their mates running up to them.

Warm tears trickled down Wyatt's face and he opened his eyes looking over at Jason. He had liquid crystals falling down as well.

"I don't know how she did it." Jason squeezed onto his chest. "I can't wait to hug him and punch him for scaring the s**t out of me." "What is going on?" Jin asked as she squatted in front of Jason. Freya laid her hands on Wyatt's shoulders as she stood in front of him. "Cody's light is back. He is alive. I don't know what happened, but his light is back." Wyatt squeezed his hand over his chest and sighed in relief.

Freya wrapped her arms around Wyatt. "Thank goodness." She whispered into him.

"I'm sure we will be getting some sort of message from either mom or Rhea. Regardless I want to meet up with Rhea and Cody soon. We are long overdue for seeing one another. I don't know what happened. They may need some time to get situated..." Wyatt looked over at Jason who wiped his eyes.

"Send them a message. Ask them to visit here at their earliest convenience." Jason looked at Jin and smiled. He wanted to introduce them to his mate. And he knew Wyatt wanted to do the same. Things have changed so much since they last saw one another. And almost losing Cody... thinking they did lose Cody... he wanted to see them all the more.

Wyatt and Jason stood to their feet. Both were in much better spirits now. The weight on their chest immediately vanished when they felt Cody's light. There was probably an interesting story attached to how his light returned.

"Well, now I feel like I can be happy about Abaddon's death. Sick bastard will no longer be plaguing our family." Wyatt said with a smile. He wrapped his arm around Freya and looked back towards pack territory. A dark shadow passed overhead. He glanced up to see a white dragon lowering down to them. Off the back of the dragon a man jumped off from it. He met with the amber eyes of the man. The man's eyes looked over him and then fell onto Freya where they held. The dragon shifted into a beautiful girl with black hair and caramel skin.

"Ciana!" Jin said in excitement. "You're back." She felt Jason's strong hand on her shoulder as he looked over the foreign guy.

"Yeah I'm finally here to stay for at least a little while." Ciana smiled and walked over to Jin. "I ended up seeing Jester on his way here, so I gave him a lift."

"It looks like you were able to break the blood potion." Jester smiled at Freya and then looked back at the man next to her.

Wyatt was also sizing this man up. He could see the tender way he looked at Freya. His amber eyes almost melted seeing her. He was very pale, had blonde hair, was tall and slender. He had a toned body but not muscular. He supposed he could be found attractive by some ladies. But what was he doing? This guy wasn't his rival. Freya was already marked. Wyatt cleared his throat and extended his hand out to the man. "My name is Wyatt. Nice to meet you, Jester. Freya has told me about you." He shook the man's hand firmly with a kind smile. This man had helped out his mate. He had protected her.

"So, you are the one who stole Freya from me." Jester chuckled. "Just joking. She was never mine." He then looked at Freya. "I know I told you I planned to come and visit. But I am actually here for another reason."

Freya could see something in Jester's eyes. Something that worried her. "What is it?"

"Did you guys take care of things with the witches?" Jester watched as Freya nodded her head.

"For the most part. The coven leader has been taken out. There might be a loose end or two left. We haven't had time to polish that up yet. Jester, you know I hate the games. Out with it." Freya sighed and lifted her eyes at him in irritation.

Jester chuckled. "Some things never change. I just didn't want to overwhelm you right now. That's why I was asking about the witches... The thing is there is something else that needs to be dealt with." He looked up to Wyatt. "The demons are trying to sway the vampires to their side. They have been meeting with their king and queen. As you know, vampires traditionally are not on any side but our own. Similar to how dragons are just not as powerful. But they are still a strong ally to have. They would also be a tough opponent to go against."

Freya rubbed her head. "Out with it Jester. I know you are telling me this for a reason. Quit the fancy footwork already."

"You are also a vampire. A powerful tribrid. Needless to say, I think showing our support for balance would weigh heavy on their minds. I want you to come with me. We need to speak with the King and Queen of the vampires."

Freya nodded her head and sighed. She understood what he was wanting now. "They are pure bloods though. I'm considered the mutt, the low life in their world." Freya felt Wyatt's hand grip onto hers tighter. He didn't like how she spoke about herself. "They can't deny your strength Freya. A dhampir that is part witch and now also part werewolf. Not just part werewolf but the Queen of the werewolves. The Luna of Luna's. Forming an alliance with you is something that I don't think they would shy away from. More importantly they wouldn't want to make enemies with the alpha king and luna queen." Jester watched the stormy eyes in front of him. He could see Wyatt mulling over the idea in his head.

Wyatt didn't like the idea of going into danger again. However, this was on an even larger scale. This was about the demon war. And the vampires could tip the scale on whatever side they chose. He tilted his head and looked at Freya. "What are you thinking?" Freya sighed and looked up to Wyatt. "What he is saying makes sense. As much as I loathe the idea of meeting with those royal snobs, I also don't want them banding together with the demons." Jason chuckled darkly and rubbed his forehead. "So how dangerous is this going to be? I assume that going into a vampire's nest is a dangerous task."

Jester nodded his head. "I don't know honestly. It just depends if they have struck a deal with the demons yet or not. They King and Queen are not stupid. They are wise. They have lived a long time."

"And as the king's brother you have also lived a long time." Freya smirked and tilted her head looking at Jester.

His eyes widened and he pointed at her. "You knew?!"

"Umm... yeah. I make it my business to know who I am speaking with. You got tired of living the same life, so you went to live one away from the royal hive. Said to be one of their strongest warriors that has a malicious nature. However, loved his brother dearly." Freya met with his amber eyes. "He loved his brother so much that he turned himself into the bad guy in order to protect the king's image. Which is actually the REAL reason you left. You didn't want to taint your brother's image by having you by his side." Jester smiled and nodded his head. "I guess I underestimated you."

"Having Jester with us will at least allow us to approach the King and Queen." Freya looked up to Wyatt then to see his reaction.

"I guess I should see if Sam can hold down the fort a little longer. Looks like we are playing diplomats." Wyatt sighed. Never a dull moment in his life. One day he hoped he could have some quiet and enjoy having a mate. Though that would all have to wait until after they deal with the demons. And this was just one more step in that direction.

"So we are going to meet vampires?" Ciana said, inviting herself along.

Jester turned and looked at her. "It might be dangerous."

"And how would that change what I have been doing?" Ciana laughed. "Besides, if Jin is going then I am going. I'm staying with Jin."

"Jin is staying here." Jason said matter of factly.

"Oh... so you are staying here then?" Jin arched her brow as she looked at Jason.

"Give it up Jason. It's a lost cause." Wyatt smiled and shook his head. This is what they did. They flirted with death. This is the destiny he had been given. They had a duty to do as much as they could for the demon war. Even if it was just to prevent the vampires from taking a side that would be enough. So long as they didn't join the demon's side that would be enough for him.

Jason groaned. "How long of a journey is it?"

Jester chuckled. "I guess it isn't just going to be the two of you then?" He sized Jason up looking him over. He could feel a strong aura coming off of him. In fact he had encountered similar auras before during his lifetime. He smiled. "Having you around would probably be pretty handy. It isn't everyday you run into a guardian. They are a rarity in this world."

Jason forced air out of his nose and crossed his arms. "I go wherever Wyatt and Freya go. So if they are going to walk into the lion's den then I am going in with them."

"Yep, same with me." Jin said in a happy chirp.

"Walking in isn't going to be a problem." Jester looked back to Freya and Wyatt. "But it might not be smooth leaving. I'm going to talk some sense into my brother. And I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst."

"Do you and your brother not get along now?" Wyatt asked.

"Eh, I wouldn't say that. He was upset that I decided to leave but we have always had a good relationship."

"Does he know... the reason you really left?" Freya asked in a whisper.

Jester shrugged. "You seem certain that you know the reason I left."

Freya tilted her head to the side and raised her eyes to him. She folded her arms and cleared her throat as she looked at him expectantly.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter." Jester looked away and into the distance. "If he had wanted me back all he had to do was send for me. So he knew it was better like this."

Freya stiffened and bit her bottom lip. She looked up to Wyatt. Jester was right. If the King of the vampires wanted him to come back he would have summoned him. It didn't matter if his brother knew or not. Though most likely he did know. The fact remains he never did reach out to Jester. She could hear the pain in his voice about never being sent for. Maybe he was testing to see if his brother wanted him around and it only proved what he was already feeling. That he was a burden to his brother. She let out a breath of air. "You shouldn't assume that you know what has transpired while you have been gone. Maybe there are other reasons? Maybe your brother was actually protecting you this way."

Jester smiled and looked up to Freya. "Look at the cold-hearted huntress trying to cheer her friend up? First you wouldn't let me sacrifice myself for you and now you are trying to make me feel better." He looked at Wyatt. "Love has changed you dramatically... In either case, I'll be seeing him again soon."
