Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 52

Jason and Jester both managed to come back with large fish. There wasn't anything else close and they didn't want to venture far away. Especially since they were now in vampire territory. The group sat around the fire where they eventually settled in for the evening. Jin was tucked in Jason's arms and Freya was wrapped in Wyatts. Ciana curled up next to a tree while Jester sat at the fire staying on watch. He was taking the first shift. It wasn't wise for all of them to sleep at the same time. Someone needed to be alert just in case. Wyatt and Freya took the last shift together. The night had come and gone. Morning had come without a hitch. Freya sat at Wyatt's side as they watched the fire. They would soon be waking the others.

"I was thinking..." Wyatt said and cleared his throat quietly. He looked over to Freya whose green emeralds were looking back up at him. "When things settle down, I guess that will be after we defeat the demons... but I was thinking maybe we could do this proper, you know?" He watched as Freya tilted her head to look at him. She wasn't understanding what he was saying. "I mean our relationship. I'd like to take you out on a couple dates. Do normal couple things that don't include killing enemies for once." He chuckled and then cleared his throat again. "And um... I was thinking maybe... if you want that is... maybe we could get married?" He gave her a crooked smile at his awkwardness.

Freya's eyes shined up at him. A smile spread across her face and she leaned her head up to him. She brushed her lips against his and felt his sink into hers. The tingling warmth made her body shiver as she pushed into him for more. "Yes Wyatt. To all of it." "Man, that was painful to listen to. I wasn't sure if you were going to get a favorable response after that." Jason said groggily smirking up at his brother who was turning dark shades of red.

"Awe, I think it was cute." Ciana added while Jin giggled.

"It gave me warm fuzzies." Jester teased as he sat up.

Freya giggled as Wyatt looked away from everyone in full embarrassment. His whole face up to his ears was now a dark crimson shade. She reached her hand out and interlocked her fingers with his. When his eyes met hers, she looked back at him with all her love for him. "Wyatt, I love you. You are the best part of my life."

"I love you Freya." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. He then lifted to his feet and cleared his throat. "Well, we should get going. Especially since you all are awake to listen in on a private conversation." He growled out in playful annoyance. "Thanks for setting the bar high, Wyatt. If I don't find someone as sweet as you, I will never be satisfied." Ciana giggled as she dusted herself off.

"Lucky for me, my chocolate bear is already super sweet." Jin looked up at Jason with a sweet smile.

Jason smiled at her. "Only for you though. So don't go spreading that around." He looked over at Wyatt quietly and a soft smile spread. He looked back to Jin. "We can make this official too if you want?"

"A dual wedding?" Jin bounced in excitement and looked at Freya to see what she thought.

"That sounds perfect to me. We can all share our perfect day together." Freya watched as Jin bounced around even more excited.

"And we can remind ourselves of the important date." Wyatt winked over at Jason who chuckled nodding his head in agreement.

"I wasn't trying to horn in on your wedding date." Jason looked up to Wyatt and waved him off.

"Are you kidding? This will be even more special this way. Maybe we can drag Rhea and her mate in on this too. All three of us getting married on the same day." Wyatt mused thoughtfully.

"Wouldn't it be awesome if Cody took a mate too? I'll have to talk with him and tell him that it's okay. I want him to have what I have. Not in the literal sense. Jin is mine... but I want him to experience what it is like having a mate." Jason smiled down to Jin. He lowered his head and gently brushed against her lips. He couldn't imagine not having her in his life. It was such a complete feeling and he wanted Cody to have this too.

"I can't wait for you to meet Cody, Jin. I'm excited to introduce you to him and my sister Rhea. I know they'll love you." Jason said proudly.

"I can't wait."

"Better be careful though. Cody has brown chocolate eyes too. She just might go and choose the other brother." Wyatt teased as the group started on the rest of their journey. Jason chuckled. "Jin here is mine. If Cody wants a mate he will have to find his own."

"Well, I mean if he has chocolate eyes..." Jin teased and listened to the low growl that reverberated from Jason's chest.

"My eyes better be the only eyes you'll love." Jason said as he squeezed her to his side.

"Your eyes and your children's eyes of course." Ciana smirked looking back at the two embarrassed faces.

"Ciana." Jin hissed in embarrassment.

Jason chuckled. "You are allowed to love our children's eyes too Jin. No matter what color they are." He beamed as he saw her cheeks heat up.

"So Freya... you plan to have children soon?" Jester grinned, spreading the embarrassment around. But he was shocked at how calm and collected Freya was. It was Wyatt who looked more embarrassed.

Freya continued to look forward as she walked. "I don't know if I would jump straight into soon. But maybe after the demon war?"

Jester was a bit disappointed with her reaction, so he pushed further. "How many children do you plan to have?"

Freya smiled as she continued to walk. She knew exactly what Jester was doing but she was going to turn the game on him. "I guess as many as my mate can fill me up with." She finally turned her head and smirked at Jester. His face was the one that had embarrassment on it now. Though what she said didn't just affect him. She felt arms rest around her hips and pulled her backwards into a strong chest.

"You can't say things like that Freya." Wyatt said and lowly growled near her mark. His hot breath whispered against her. "You are putting ideas in my head. All I can think about is how we will create the babies."

Freya spun around and kissed his jawline. "You're going to have to wait on that love." She then looked back to Jester. "In all honesty, I'm thinking of two to four children. But it is something that Wyatt and I haven't discussed. I guess we will have to wait and see what life has planned for us."

"This really suits you Freya." Jester said with a smile. "I always knew you had so much more to offer, and I am really happy you found it." He looked over at Wyatt. "You are a good guy. You two are a good match together."

"Thank you. She is the person I have been searching for. I can't be whole without her." Wyatt glanced over to Jester and smiled. He understood the depth of what Jester was saying there. Even though Jester had feelings for Freya he could see how happy she was. And how well she was being taken care of. This was his way of telling Wyatt he accepts their relationship and him as her mate.

Jester cleared his throat and pointed off in the distance. "We will be coming upon the human village soon. Surprisingly, they do have electricity out here even though there are not any roads. It is the same way the dragon kingdom works, and I am assuming the fairy kingdom. Cell phones don't work out here but other than that it is like its own secluded little town."

Jason glanced up and around surveying the area. He could see that Jester periodically looked upwards as well.

Freya sighed and rubbed the side of her temple. "We are not morons. We know they are up there. They are way too noisy." Wyatt growled lowly as he listened to the sounds above them.

Jester chuckled. "We know you are up there. Do you wish to continue to act like a child playing hide and seek thinking no one knows you are there?"

Three figures dropped to the ground in front of the group. There was a murderous glare in their eyes until they fell on Jester. Then their eyes widened and they lowered their heads in respect. They then nervously looked at the outsiders.

"They are with me. We are coming to see my brother. Go ahead and let him know we are coming. We will be there in an hour or so." Jester looked up at the nervous scouts. "Go and let my brother know."

The men quickly leaped back into the trees and dashed away. Jester shook his head and sighed. "What a talkative bunch." He smirked as he looked over at the other in his group.

"Was that a good idea? To give them time to prepare for us?" Ciana said with a scowl. She didn't like the idea of the vampires getting a heads up.

Jester laughed. "This is all just a formality. Trust me. The moment I set foot in my brother's territory he knew I was here. He knew all of you were here."

"We have been followed by another since we entered into the vampire territory. Though they are quieter then this last group. But he is still above us now." Freya said in minor annoyance. Jester whistled. "Impressive as ever, Freya."

Just then another body dropped to the ground. She rose up and stared at Freya and then to Jester.

"What were your orders? Just to follow us? Or was there something more." Jester said in a cold tone. His eyes wandered over her and pinned on her eyes.

The woman snorted and turned her gaze away from Jester and back to Freya. "I came to investigate the strange energy from this young dhampir."

Freya chuckled lightly and her green eyes pierced the blue one in front of her. "Investigate or challenge?" Freya said tersely.

"For now... investigate." The woman said.

"Good. Because you'll need more then yourself to challenge me." Freya's deadly glare didn't alter as she held it on the woman. The woman didn't flinch, instead a smile curled up over her lips.

"I think I like you. Hopefully I don't have to kill you later." The woman then relaxed her stance. "My name is Irene. And who are all of you?" Her eyes flashed over everyone.

They went through the introductions and then last was Jester. "I am the king's brother. I've been away for a while. I'm sure you have heard of me, I'm Jester." Irene nodded slightly.

"You don't know each other?" Ciana asked.

"No, I only came here about a decade ago." Irene's eyes averted from Jester then and back to Freya. "You are good to be able to notice me. Very good. Most can't find my presence once I've hidden it." Freya smiled. "Those who work as assassins and hunters have to be stealthy."

Irene's eyes flickered as she nodded her head in understanding.

Freya looked over at Jester whose eyes hadn't left Irene. He was following her every movement with intense interest.

"I'll escort you to the King." Irene finally said as she turned around.

Freya smiled. She could sense the awkwardness of this girl. She wasn't used to being around others much like how she used to be. She wondered if something tragic led her down this road or if it was something she chose.

"We want to visit the human village for a moment. We just want to see how they like their life here." Ciana spoke up as Irene stopped to look at her.

"And if they hate their lives? What do you intend to do about it?" Her cold gaze landed on Ciana.

Freya smirked and took a step away from Wyatt directing Irene's attention to her. "I think you already know what we'll do about it."

Irene looked Freya over. She then looked over Wyatt, Jason, Jin and Ciana. She studied each person analyzing their strength. She lastly looked at Jester and then sighed. They were a strong group. If they decided to fight, she couldn't win against them. She then looked back to Freya. This girl had a deadly aura around her, and she had a powerful energy to back it up. She finally shrugged. "I think you will find that they love their life here. But you are welcome to assess that for yourself."

They followed Irene in silence until a village came into view. She walked up to the entrance and then nodded her head to the others. "Go ahead and check it out."

The group all walked into the place greeting the different people. All except one. Jester stopped by Irene who was standing on the outside of the village. He turned and his amber eyes met with her blue ones.

"We need to talk."
