Dr. Luna
Demon War: Rise of the Alpha Chapter 58

"If we have a daughter, she is to be betrothed to their son." Freya smiled as she squeezed her hand around Wyatt's. Even if it was for the best, it was still hard to think about.

"If it is any consolation, you should know she would be well treated there. Vampires are very particular about their hierarchy, more so than werewolves. She would be someone very precious to them. I can say that confidently." Lee said and Rhea flashed him an appreciative smile. He was making them feel better about their tough decision and she appreciated that of him.

"So, what is for breakfast?" Cody cleared his throat interrupting the moment. For one it made him sad thinking about it. Especially since he was going to be a father soon. He also didn't want Wyatt dwelling on the choice they had made. And then there was the fact that he was seriously hungry.

"You ate before we left?!" Kelsie shook her head and looked over at him.

Cody rubbed his stomach. "I must be sympathy eating for you my dear."

"Sure, Baloo. That's what it is. What was it before you knew she was pregnant?" Titus smirked.

"Are you wanting to tango little red?" Cody turned to Titus and folded his arms over his chest with a grin. Titus chuckled. "Who do you think you are challenging... kitten?" He let his voice emphasize the word kitten. "No no no no. No boys playing right now, I forbid it." Rhea sighed and gave both of them a disapproving look.

"I wouldn't mind seeing that." Jason grinned and Rhea turned to him looking exasperated. "I actually think Cody and I need to have a go at it. It seems to me like he has gotten lazy. I mean you lost to a hellhound." Jason smirked and clicked his tongue in disappointment.

Cody chuckled and then his gaze pinned on Jason. "I've been sparring with dragons. Who are you calling lazy? And I could have beaten that hellhound if it was one on one." Cody smiled and looked over at Kelsie. "It is just there were other lives more important than my own."

"So, you are saying you can still call yourself a guardian?" Jason leaned back on his heals as he provoked his brother.

"If you are dying to get beaten to a pulp and embarrassed in front of your mate then I'm willing to do the honors." Cody grinned.

Big pools of water fell over both Cody and Jason. Rhea looked at her fingers and feigned surprise. "I don't know what happened. It was like an involuntary spasm. Bad hand that's a bad hand."

Wyatt grinned. This was his chance to show his sister his elemental skills. "Here, let me dry you off." Wyatt sent a strong wind down over the two guys pushing them both backwards slightly. "Oh, Wyatt you can control the wind?!" Rhea asked wide eyed.

"Jin is a wind demon. She gifted me with the air element." Wyatt said nodding his head over to the green haired girl that was standing near Freya now. She had edged away from the two confrontational brothers. She now was looking a bit anxious since Wyatt told them she was a demon.

"Oh wow! You are a demon?" Rhea bounced in front of Jin and grabbed her hands. "I could sense your power, but you don't even smell like a demon. Well at least none that I have encountered. Oh it is so nice to have more girls in the group. You have no idea how hard it is always being surrounded by guys. Imagine having three hair brained brothers suffocating you."

"HEY!"

"HEY!"

"HEY!"

"You girls have them now. No take backs." Rhea giggled.

"Now wait just a minute Rhea. You are the troublemaker here. We should be the ones saying no take backs to your mate." Jason snorted in indignance.

"Good thing her mate is a deity. No one else would be able to keep her safe." Cody chuckled. "Sorry Levi. You got the agitator of the family."

"Speaking of that." Wyatt said his stormy eyes piercing against the light blue ones. "We have managed to keep her safe all these years. We expect that she will remain safe in your hands." It was a friendly warning that as a brother he had to give. Lee chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll keep MY fairy safe."

"Umm... hello. I'm right here? Keep who safe? What now? Ummm... I'm the one who killed Abaddon, thank you very much. Go and raise your swords and shields for some defenseless girl." Rhea clicked her tongue and folded her arms over her chest. Kelsie walked over beside Rhea and tilted her head up to the guys. "She does have a point."

"I agree. These men like to pretend that we can't possibly handle ourselves." This time Freya jumped in.

"Oh! We can have a slushie war, boys verse girls!" Jin cheered in excitement.

"No."

"No."

Wyatt and Jason said, holding their hands up. "Been there done that. That is a battle we can't win. No one can beat Jin." Wyatt chuckled; his eyes met with Freya's. He felt so complete at this moment. He missed Cody and Rhea. He knew they would get along with everyone just fine. But it was even more than that, they all felt like one big family. Even Titus who he just met. He could feel an odd connection with him. Maybe it was because he was Rhea's soul twin? He wasn't sure what it was, but he could feel his energy swirling inside of him.

"Oh my goodness!" Rhea said as she watched some familiar figures walking up to them. She squealed and was wrapped up in a big group hug.

"I missed you guys so much!" Rhea sniffled.

"Ray Ray you look stunning." Winston said as he stepped back.

"Rhea I can't tell you how much we have missed you." Renee said as she wiped her eyes.

"And Adam and I are mates!" Susan declared and smiled up to Adam.

"That was quite an event that we will have to tell you all about." Adam chuckled and shook his head thinking about it.

"Sam, have you been looking after my brother? Keeping him in line?" Rhea asked with a grin.

"There is only so much you can do with a spoiled alpha king, you know? Such a heavy burden placed on me." Sam looked up to Wyatt and winked.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Cody and Kelsie are mates. They are ALSO expecting a little one of their own. And of course, you know Lee, he is also my mate..." she pointed in the direction of Titus and Lee. "And the other guy is the dragon king of the west. He is also my soul twin and adopted brother, Titus."

"Does he treat you well?" Sam furrowed his eyes down while Adam and Winston did the same.

Rhea giggled. "What is with you boys all being so overprotective?"

"So can we have like a double baby shower then?" Susan asked with excitement.

"Oh my goodness yes that sounds amazing! We have to!" Rhea turned and smiled back to Kelsie. It was so nice seeing everyone again. It made her realize just how much she missed them.

"Dual baby showers. Now that sounds like an amazing celebration... almost as nice as having a quadruple wedding." Jason smirked putting Levi and Cody on the spot.

"Come again?" Cody tilted his head towards Jason in confusion.

"Well Wyatt and I decided after the demon war we were going to have a combined wedding. But seeing that we all have mates..." Jason grinned. Wyatt looked at Levi curious to see what his reaction would be.

"So basically, another way to publicly claim your mate? Why not, Levi. I mean you already publicly marked her." Titus said casually and a few low growls rippled through the men. Ooops. He didn't think about how saying Rhea was marked publicly would sound bad. "I did the same with Kelsie. It is a dragon ritual. I'm all for claiming Kelsie publicly again. Though she might need a chair at that point depending how soon we have the wedding." Cody tried to downplay the public marking. It sounded worse than it was. It wasn't like the intimate marking that is done in private. It was enough that the others seemed to nod their heads. If Cody did it to his mate, than it must not have been bad. At least that was their logic.

Lee's eyes were locked onto Rhea's. He smiled at her and raised his eyes in a shrug. He would do whatever she wanted to do. But he was with Cody. He was all for claiming Rhea in every shape and form. There would be no excuse for touching his mate. He had claimed her in every way. He saw her nod her head to him with a smile. "Rhea and I accept as well."

"I guess we have some big parties coming up then. Just what we need after this war." Rhea then looked between Jin and Kelsie. "I wonder how close you two are in your pregnancies...."

"They look to me to be around the same." Wyatt smirked and they looked at Cody and Jason. "Seems like they like to do everything at the same time. When did you take Kelsie as your mate?"

Cody cleared his throat. "When I claimed her as my mate or when..."

"Okay I'm not listening to this." Kelsie said as her face flushed red. "I'm going inside."

"I'll come with you." Jin giggled, not wanting to listen to this part of the conversation either.

"Us too!! We have baby shower talk to be had." Susan and Renee bounded after the girls.

Ciana smiled. "I'm with them." She turned and left as well leaving Freya and Rhea as the only girls behind.

Cody and Jason started comparing timelines as everyone listened. And while Jason had marked Jin before Cody, they both were intimate with their mates the same day. And judging by how far along their mother had told them they were both due to be fathers around the same time.

"Okay I think this is taking the twin thing too far." Wyatt chuckled. "But I am excited to be an uncle times two."

"So I have a question." Adam said as he looked thoughtfully between Wyatt and Rhea. "Rhea is the future queen of the fairies. Wyatt is the king of the werewolves. But Rhea also has a werewolf. So is he her king too?"

Lumi scoffed loudly in Rhea's head. Hardly. We don't submit to anyone. Rhea giggled. "Lumi says that would be a no."

"Oh? But is it?" Wyatt turned and grinned at his sister who straightened up and stared her brother down.

"Go ahead. Order me to do something. It isn't going to work." Rhea shook her head. The future fairy queen could not be ordered around by anyone. It was the order of things. Just like how she wouldn't be able to tell Wyatt what to do as the king of the werewolves. There was a level of separation from the role you are born and the one you choose. She has chosen to follow the fairies and her brother has chosen the werewolves.

Wyatt shrugged his shoulders and smirked. "I guess there is only one way to test it out." Wyatt stared at his sister. A strong red energy surged out of him as he commanded Rhea to leave the area. She smiled at him and shook her head.

Yeah, that didn't even phase me. He does know that I am a special werewolf, right? I am not the alpha king or anything, but he can't order us around. Lumi was panting happily with her tongue out. She found it a bit humorous. "Well now that we got that out of our system." Rhea giggled.

"Nope she isn't my subject. I can't even feel her wolf. Which is weird. You said you got your wolf, right?" Wyatt tilted his head as he studied his sister.

"Would you like to meet her?" Rhea watched as Wyatt nodded his head. Lumi, want to come out for a bit?

Do I need to answer that?

Rhea quickly shifted into Lumi. She had mastered shifting and it was quick and effortless for her. Her white paws stood up straight as she held a commanding gaze at Wyatt. Most werewolves would have to lower their head. They wouldn't be able to maintain direct eye contact, but this wasn't the case with Lumi.

"Well aren't you just a pretty lady?" Wyatt said as he held his hand out. He brushed his hand on the wolf's head. It was strange. She was a werewolf. He could see her and feel her, but she wasn't connected to him in a sense. It was like she was but wasn't. Honestly, it was confusing. All he knew was it was like how it used to be before he became the king of the werewolves. It was like she was from another pack in that sense. Her wolf was incredibly large. She wasn't as big as his wolf, but he was the alpha king. She was bigger than their mother's wolf who was already enormous for a female wolf.

Lumi chuckled. He is trying to figure me out. No regular wolf is my equal.

Is it because I am the fairy princess? Rhea had made her own theology over the whole thing.

Not exactly Rhea. While you can't order him because he is the king of the werewolves it is different with me. I am not a plain werewolf.

Of course not, you are also part fairy. Rhea thought this was common knowledge.

That isn't what I mean, Rhea.

Well for goodness' sake let it out already.

I was curious if he could figure it out on his own. Without telling him. Look how confused he looks. Lumi was panting happily seeing his confusion. Suddenly his eyes changed color as Blaze came more forward. Blaze was now looking Lumi over careful as he had become intrigued. She could see he had finally put the puzzle piece together.

Well, I never thought I would see one of them again. Blaze said as he rested back in Wyatt's mind.

What does one of them mean? Isn't she a werewolf? Wyatt's silver eyes shown on Lumi.

She is a special werewolf. She doesn't belong to our pack or any of our pack of wolves. In fact, I think she is the only one left in existence. She is a dire werewolf.
