Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 54

Freya smiled up at Wyatt. She could feel his tension in his arms. "Calm yourself. Don't be getting ready to start a war without knowing anything." She giggled as he gave her a guilty grin. She was right. The very idea of them wanting Freya had his Alpha blood raging. Just then the doors to the door opened. A man walked out. "The King and Queen wish to speak to the King and Queen of the werewolves, privately."

His killer instinct started to surface, ready to eradicate any threat to his mate.

Jester furrowed his brows. "Now wait a minute...-"

"Alone." The man repeated interrupting Jester.

"It's okay Jester. We will speak with them privately." Wyatt said with a slight nod.

"Wyatt." Jason growled. He did not want them leaving his sight. He needed to be close so he could protect them.

"It will be okay Jase. Besides, Freya and I are not exactly pushovers." Wyatt winked at his brother. "Wait here for us."

Jason scowled and balled his fist together tightly. He felt Jin's gentle hand rub on his back. He looked into her eyes and she nodded to him.

"We will be right here ready in case they need us." Jin said in a soft tone.

Jason growled and looked up to Wyatt. "If they even make your hair fall out of place, I am destroying everything."

Wyatt chuckled. "Wouldn't expect any less." He looked back ahead and him and Freya walked with their fingers linked through the doors. As soon as they entered the doors closed behind them.

"This way." The same man said. He led them through the throne room and to another set of doors to the side. He opened the door but didn't walk through. "They are waiting for you in here."

Wyatt and Freya glanced at each other and then walked into the next room. The room was much smaller. The walls were white stone that had an open balcony protruding off of it. Sitting at a small circular table was Alaric and Willa. They were looking up and gestured for Wyatt and Freya to take a seat.

"Please, just act normal with us. We all have the same standings and I think we can be good friends in the future. Pending the treaty agreement of course." Alaric said with a glint in his eyes. He watched Freya and Wyatt sit down and then reached his hand over to hold onto Willa's. "We have both come to an agreement on how to make this work."

"What do you mean how to make this work?" Wyatt asked confused.

"You're young and inexperienced. A treaty alone between two powerful races won't be enough to withstand through time. We need to solidify it." Alaric's gaze turned back to Freya. "We need to seal this agreement into something more permanent. Like a child." Wyatt growled as his eyes narrowed on Alaric. "I'd be very careful with your next words or we are going to have a problem."

Willa and Alaric then laughed heartily. Willa raised her hand over her mouth as she continued to giggle. "He isn't always an eloquent speaker. He says things that are confusing. He isn't talking about impregnating your mate. Like hell I'd allow him to do that." "Sorry about that. No, I am talking about something else." Alaric made sure this time he held his gaze with Wyatt. "I am talking about uniting our families through blood. A permanent truce. One that will withstand through the ages of time. You see..." "We have a young son. We were blessed with our one and only child. We can't ever have another... he is all we have. And it took us a lifetime to even have him. With the help of some fairy magic we now have a three year old son." Willa said looking up at Wyatt. "Wait. Which fairy? This is the first I have heard about this." Wyatt never heard his mother mention helping out the vampires and surely something of this caliber would take the fairy queen.

"Your grandmother was the one to help us. Which is even more reason we harbor no ill will against you. And you are probably wondering why I am explaining all of this." Willa watched the two nod their heads and she smiled. "It is because I want you to understand how precious he is to us. Because of what our demand is for the treaty."

"It is simple. The treaty will be on the terms of your first-born daughter to be betrothed to our son. She will be his future mate." Alaric finally said.

Wyatt and Freya both widened their eyes.

"What if we don't have a daughter?" Wyatt wanted to know if there would be another stipulation attached.

"The treaty will be on the contingency that you have a daughter, and she is mated to our son. If you don't have a daughter, we will have to revisit another means for a treaty then." Alaric interlocked his hands together and rested them on the table as he stared back at Wyatt and Freya.

"But... what about her fated mate..." Freya bit her bottom lip. She would be denying her daughter of whoever fate had chosen for her. It would be like denying herself of Wyatt.

"We would also be denying our son his fated mate. So, you see... we are both sacrificing for the good of all our kind." Willa said softly.

This is why their story about their son was so important. Because he was their treasure, and they were willing to do this to him.

"What if they refuse? What if your son or my daughter refuses?" Wyatt's stormy eyes met with the King of the vampires.

"But would they? Would they refuse their father, their King? They might not like it, but they have a duty. Being royalty means they have obligations because of the role they have been given." Alaric could see Freya's sad eyes. Willa also felt the same way at first. "It is the only way to solidify our treaty." He said gently then.

"What if they meet their fated mate... Are they to refuse them?" Freya looked up to Willa. She could see the woman's eyes watering at that thought.

"It is a choice they will have to make. They will have to choose between a fated mate or their obligations to their kind. In the event they choose their fated mate or refuse this arrangement then the treaty will be off. We can make an agreement but in my experience it will not last. Which is why this is important." Alaric could see the silver eyes in deep thought. "What is on your mind?"

Wyatt's eyes fell on Alaric. "I understand how this strengthens the treaty and solidifies it. However... I thought you have a pure blood issue. Are you sure you want your son being with a mix blood? How do I know... if I have a daughter how do I know she will be treated well here?"

Alaric smiled and nodded his head in understanding. "The thing is Freya's blood is special. It is desired among our kind. She has the original bloodline in her veins. It didn't weaken. We want that bloodline in the royal family. It will strengthen the next generation. A child between a daughter of yours and our son... it is a blood match made in heaven. Your daughter would be loved and treated well. She would be precious to us."

"And since I can not have any more children she would be like my own daughter." Willa sighed. "I know it hurts to think about us deciding their future. But it isn't just their future, Freya. It is the werewolves' future. It is the vampire's future. Our territories are close together. How long before something happens, and a war rises between our kinds? Linking ourselves this way makes us family. And family understand and protect one another. Family will also be there during the demon war."

And there it was. The vampires would join in on their side in the demon war only if this treaty is made. They would have to sign away their first-born daughter to be mated to a vampire, the future vampire king. Wyatt looked over at Freya who was looking down at her hands. It was big. Everything that weighed on this decision was significant.

We might not even have a daughter. Wyatt mind linked to Freya.

Then we are back to no treaty again.

So you want to keep trying until we have a girl. Wyatt smirked inwardly as he tried to lighten the mood.

Freya smiled and glanced up to meet his silver eyes.

What do you think, Freya?

I feel like I am gambling my daughter's happiness away in exchange for the unity of our kinds. And while I feel guilty for that... I feel that it would be selfish not to. This is everyone. All the werewolves. All the vampires. This affects the demon war as well. Freya sighed. I don't think there is any other choice but to accept. They are doing the same thing to their own son.

Wyatt smiled and nodded. If we have a daughter this will be her destiny just like the demon war is mine. It will be up to her to accept it. And if she rejects it, we will have to come up with something else.

For the future of our kinds we are all sacrificing something important. We are sacrificing their fated mates and happiness. Freya smiled sadly and nodded to Wyatt to agree to the terms. Both couples were agreeing to seal the treaty with an unbreakable bond. A union of blood.

"If we have a daughter, she will be betrothed to your son. And with this union we will unite our kinds forever." Wyatt reached his hand out and clasped it with Alaric.

"An unbreakable bond. Our two children will unite our kinds and seal it with a child of their own. Forever mixing our royal bloodlines." Alaric nodded and shook Wyatts hand.

"I hope they forgive us." Willa met with Freya's green eyes who nodded along with her.

"I think they will understand that this was the only way to ensure a peace that transcends through the ages. And while they may hate us at first... I hope one day they will understand. And hopefully develop their own unique love and bond through their shared situation." Freya smiled. She could see that this was a big decision for all of them. It just showed how important this treaty was.

"Our daughter will be raised with us until she is twenty. Then she will move here to unite our kind." Wyatt wasn't going to send her any younger then that.

Alaric and Willa both nodded their heads in agreement. "And you will always be welcome to come and visit. She will also have the freedom to visit you... with several guards of course. She will be well guarded and protected."

"So, I guess this is just a verbal agreement and the official one will be sealed once our children... are mated." Freya watched as Alaric nodded his head.

"Well, I guess we are in agreement then." Wyatt then stood up from his chair along with Alaric.

"We will also be assisting during the war against the demons. As a show of good faith towards the uniting of our kinds." Alaric held his hand out and helped Willa up. "I have to say... this is probably one of the greatest things that I have ever accomplished for my kind."

Wyatt nodded his head. "Same. Now to end this demon war so we can finally have some peace."

"And start creating babies." Willa winked with a smile.

"I bet Jason is chomping at the bit." Wyatt laughed and wrapped his arm around Freya.

"You don't have to hurry off. You are welcome to stay?" Alaric offered and Wyatt shook his head no.

"I've already been passing my duties to my beta for far too long. I need to get back to my pack. But thank you. I'm sure we will meet again soon."

Wyatt and Freya followed Alaric and Willa out of the room. They were leading them back to the great room where they had left the others. They had made come to an agreement. The vampires and werewolves were now allies. And the price... the price was their children. An alliance of this magnitude couldn't just happen, not without a price to be paid.

Wyatt's arm squeezed around Freya. They just made one of the toughest decisions together as a couple. For the greater good... they did what was necessary. And while a union should be a happy occasion this was one that both couples felt the bitter sting. Their children would bear the weight of this burden. This was now their destiny, and it would be their sacrifice.

There was still one more thought on Wyatt's mind as they approached the doors to the next room. And that was how to come up with another treaty if they never had a daughter. It was something the two couples would have to hash out if that time comes. For now, they have gotten the vampires to join in on the demon war. This was a big win. The pieces were getting stacked in their favor. And he couldn't wait to put that chapter behind them.
