Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 55

"Wyatt! Is everything okay?" Jason asked cautiously when his brother entered the room.

"Yes, Jason everything is good." Wyatt kept his arm around Freya as he led them further into the room. Alaric and Willa also made their way in. "So, Jester, are you planning on staying for awhile or are you leaving with them?" Alaric asked, walking up to his brother.

"Actually, I'm planning to stay for good. If that is okay?" Jester met with his brothers face. He watched his brother's lips curl upwards in a big grin.

"Okay with it? You know how many times I wanted to drag you back here? I only didn't because I thought it was what you wanted. I didn't want to force you to live here. But I missed you every damn day. Hearing that you will be staying here for good is the best news." Alaric's eyes were filled with excitement. "I need to introduce you to your nephew. You haven't met him yet."

"I can't wait to meet him. This is overdue but congratulations." Jester patted his brother on the shoulder. "Also, there is one more thing." He turned and motioned for Irene to come closer. "I want her station to be changed. Irene is my mate. She will be moving inside the castle to be with me."

"You are stealing my finest assassin." Alaric turned his attention to Irene. "As Jester's mate you can no longer live as our assassin. But we would be honored for you to join us at the castle here." Irene nodded her head and Jester wrapped his arm around her waist. "Honestly, I feel better about Jester living here too. Especially in the future." Freya looked up to Wyatt who also nodded knowingly. Freya trusted Jester and knew that he would watch over their daughter when that time came.

"Wait what am I missing?" Jason asked as he studied Wyatt and Freya's face.

"We reached an agreement. We are forming an alliance with the vampires." Wyatt smiled as he looked at Alaric.

"Uh huh. And?" Jason asked, waiting for the catch.

"And we have come to an understanding on how best to solidify this alliance. We are going to form a union with my son and their firstborn daughter." Alaric said with crisp authority.

Jason let out a sigh but kept quiet. He knew this had to have been difficult for Wyatt and Freya.

"You have my word that I will look after your daughter here. I'll even protect her from her mate if I have to." Jester winked up at Alaric who clicked his tongue.

"My son will know how to treat a treasured mate. Any missteps and he would have to deal with me directly." Alaric said easing Wyatt and Freya's concerns over his son.

"I'm sure this was a tough decision for all of you." Jester said, looking from his brother to Freya. "I think you have made the best choice possible. It is truly putting your kind first. Your children will grow up knowing they already have a mate. It will just be a fact of life for them. Hopefully this will make it easier for them to accept when the time comes."

"Ultimately it will be their choice. But we are going to let them know this is what is needed for the alliance." Freya looked into the amber eyes of Jester. She knew that if they had a daughter and she came to live here that he would look after her.

"Do you guys need me to escort you back to the Diamond pack?" Jester asked.

Wyatt shook his head no. "Thank you but that isn't necessary. We can find our way back ourselves."

"Wyatt." Alaric said walking up to him. He held out an amulet and pushed it into Wyatt's hands. "Keep this on you. All vampires will know what this crest means. Until the news of this treaty is widespread, keep it on you. It will let them know you are a friend of the vampire King."

Wyatt smiled and nodded in appreciation. "Thank you. I'm glad we were able to reach an agreement and look forward to having a good relationship with you in the future."

"Quit being so diplomatic. Best to treat each other like family because that is what we will be. The uniting of our children will make us family. And I insist you treat us as such." Alaric's eyes were kind and sincere. Seeing him like this put Wyatt more at ease. A family relationship would be more normal and what he wanted for his family.

Wyatt looked over at Jason. "Ready for the journey back?"

"I'm more than ready and might I make a suggestion?" Ciana said as she stretched her arms above her head. "I can carry two people easily on my back at a time. I can fly two of you back at a time and then come back for the others. What took us almost two days I can do in a few hours."

"Yes, please!" Jin said quickly and then shrunk back a bit embarrassed. Jason was looking down at her curiously and she gave him a sheepish smile. "I'm dying for my bed and some delicious chocolate."

"That sounds like a good plan then Ciana. Honestly, it is for the best for me to return back to the pack quickly. We left things a bit up in the air with the witches. I would like to see how all of that turned out with the Briar coven." Alaric scoffed with a frown. "Their coven leader has been a real piece of work thinking she is above everyone else. The misuse of her position has been revolting."

"Their coven leader is dead. They will be putting a new leader in charge." Freya announced happily.

"Good. I'll rest easier with that lunatic gone." Willa admitted quietly.

"Okay so who am I taking back first?" Ciana was anxious to get going.

"Take Jason and Jin back first. This will give us a few more hours to get to know each other better." Wyatt felt like this was the most logical decision and could see that Jin was happy to hear that. She seemed anxious to leave. "I don't like leaving your side Wyatt." Jason pouted.

"Freya and I will be fine here. And you don't want to leave Jin's side, do you?" Wyatt raised his eyebrows as Jason reluctantly nodded. "Then it is settled. Go ahead and I will meet you back at the house soon. Besides this will be your first dragon flight. Go enjoy it." Wyatt grinned knowing Jason wouldn't be a fan.

Jason met with Wyatt's eyes. He knew his brother would be safe here and they would only be separated for a few hours. And it was much better than walking for two days. "Alright... be safe."

Wyatt watched Jin, Jason and Ciana walk out of the room. Before he turned back around.

"How about we show you around the castle? Since you have some time to kill." Willa asked with a smile.

Freya nodded her head. She would like to get a look at the place. This was the potential home of her future daughter. "Thank you. That sounds nice." She intertwined her fingers with Wyatt's and the two were led on a tour through the castle. As they were walking down one of the halls a little boy rubbing the sleep out of his eyes walked into view. The boy had rich brown hair and amber eyes. He yawned and looked up at the two strangers. At his side was an older woman who was h is nurse maid.

"This is our little boy, Derek." Willa reached down and picked up the small child. He leaned his head on her shoulder as he continued to look at Freya and Wyatt.

"He is still a bit groggy since it looks like he just woke up. He may not look like much now but give him time to grow." Alaric said as he rubbed his sons back.

Freya and Wyatt smiled at the young child. They waved at him and he smiled back at them in return. They were looking at the child who would one day be promised to their daughter. He was still just a child. So much can change while he grows into an adult. They hoped he would grow up to be a fine young mate for their future daughter. Time would tell though.

"I'm going to go and get Derek taken care of. In case I don't see you again before you leave it was nice meeting you." Willa said with a smile as she carried her young child off towards their kitchen area.

"In the future it would be nice if we can at the very least have your daughter come and visit once a year. Just so they are not total strangers. Maybe they will eventually develop feelings for each other naturally." Alaric looked at Wyatt who nodded his head in approval.

"I think that sounds like a good idea as well." Freya softly said.

Alaric smiled and then looked down the hall. "Okay, onwards with the tour."

Ciana lowered herself back in the pack territory. Freya and Wyatt slid off and she immediately shifted back into her human self.

"That was amazing Ciana. Thank you for the lift." Wyatt looked off in the direction of the pack house. "We have room at the pack house if you would like to stay there while you are with us." He was thinking she should make herself comfortable if she planned to be staying with them for awhile.

"Really? Thank you so much. Yes, I would love that." Ciana beamed happily.

"Let's see what kind of chaos we have missed out on." Wyatt chuckled and scooped Freya into his side. It felt good to be back in pack territory.

The moment he walked into the house he could see something was wrong. Sam had worried eyes and Renee was hastily moving about in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Wyatt asked and Sam immediately looked up at him.

"I don't know. Something is wrong with Jin. Jason sent a messenger to your parents for your mother to come and check on her. She fainted shortly after they got here and has been dizzy ever since." Sam frowned.

"It is probably from all the stress we have been under lately. I'm sure she just needs to rest." Wyatt said thinking logically.

"Jason is worried sick." Sam looked upwards to the next floor.

"Sam, Renee, this is Ciana. Jin's dragon friend. Could you show her to her room? She can stay in Jin's old room. Freya and I are going to check on Jason and Jin."

"If Jin is sick then I should be there." Ciana objected with a frown.

"Jason can be a bit sensitive and overprotective. I'm sure everything is fine. Go ahead and get yourself taken care of. You need to rest too after the day." Wyatt nodded his head towards Renee who was all too eager to take over. "You're the dragon! I'm so excited it is my first time meeting a dragon." Renee walked up to Ciana and locked her arm around hers. She began rattling off at a million miles a minute as she led Ciana away.

Wyatt and Freya headed to Jason and Jin's room. They walked in to see Jin sitting on the bed pouting at Jason.

"I just wanted to stretch my legs for a minute. I feel fine right now." Jin whined.

"Not until mom checks you over. I'll bring you whatever you need. Just stay put." Jason said firmly.

"Jin." Freya walked up and sat on the bed next to her. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. I think I was just tired. I'm only a little lightheaded." She then furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Jason. "He won't let me get up."

Wyatt sighed in relief as he walked next to Jason. "I think she is okay, Jase."

"I'll feel better once mom tells me she is fine. Until then I just want her resting."

"Sorry you have been under a lot of stress lately." Wyatt apologized for everything she has been through. They went from fighting the witches, to thinking Cody was dead to traveling to the vampire kingdom. She was no doubt worn out. "Don't apologize. Everything is fine. I didn't sleep well the last few nights and I think it has finally caught up to me." Jin smiled softly and shrugged.

"Knowing mom if they weren't busy, she should be getting here soon. Honestly, I expect her any minute." Jason looked up at the window and then back to Jin.

"Well, I'm sure mom and dad have had news about Cody and Rhea by now. So, we will get to hear what happened there." He looked at Jin and then smiled. "I have a couple pints of triple fudge ice cream. One of them has your name on it." Jin's eyes widened and a big smile curled up over her lips. "Yes, please!"

"Wyatt..." Jason said in a concerned warning.

"Oh Jason stop. She is fine. I'll bring the chocolate up to her. At least let her enjoy chocolate while stuck in bed." Wyatt gave Jason a crooked smile and shook his head. He was always overprotective. Jason acted like this even when he had gotten a simple cold. Just then the door to Jason's room burst open. Lilly had her medical bag and she rushed inside.

"Mom you are here!" Jason sighed in relief.

Tyler marched in behind Lilly followed by Tristan. Lilly looked at Jin and then sighed. "Jason your letter said it was an emergency." She gave him a stern look and raised her eyebrows at him.

"Yeah but mom-" Jason started.

"Out." Lilly said simply as she walked towards the bed.

"Huh?" Jason looked at his mom confused.

"I said out. All of you go. Except you Freya, you can stay my dear." Lilly opened her bag and started taking various instruments out.

"Mom, she is my mate. There isn't a part of her body that I haven't seen before." Jason chuckled and folded his arms over his chest.

"No, but you are a paranoid mate, and I don't need you hovering." She then sat her stethoscope down and turned to look at Jason. She tilted her head and gave him the "mother" look. "I won't repeat myself."

Tyler chuckled and wrapped his arm around Jason. "Come on. Better get out of here before you end up in the time out chair. I'm sure you want to hear about what happened with Cody, right?"

Jason let himself be led out by his father. Tristan then left the room along with Wyatt.

Lilly smiled and shook her head. "Okay let's hear about your real symptoms while I give you a checkup."
