Dr. Luna
The Vampires Promised Bride Chapter 29

"I'd like to head to Elysium immediately so we can start his training now." Wyatt said looking up at his parents. "What is the hurry?" Tyler asked.

"That is something else we wanted to talk to you about. Lucy will be heading to the vampire kingdom for their ceremony. Then from there, I want her and Aiden to either stay in Elysium or in the West Dragon kingdom. At least until things with Meryl's granddaughter are settled." Wyatt said with a frown.

"We will explain everything in more detail but it seems like the witch has been working on something to take the four of us out. I don't know how it will affect us directly but it is killing regular werewolves. And she has been experimenting on vampires as well. To be safe, we want Lucy and Aiden out of her reach. And in Elysium or among the dragons is the safest place for them." Freya added.

"I am not about to tolerate anyone threatening my family. Not after everything we have been through." Lilly growled lowly.

"Mom, you have werewolf in you too. It is best for you and dad to also stay out of it. The vampires plan to take the lead on this for now." Wyatt said, looking over at Derek.

"Well, I want this over with quickly. We need to speak with Rhea and Titus over this too." Tyler rested his arm around Lilly. They both felt the same way. They didn't risk their lives fighting in a demon war only to have some witch tamper with their family now. "Well let's go then. Let's take Justice and head to the West Dragon kingdom and then meet at Elysium so we can give Justice his powers. Then Jason and Uncle Tristan can give him a crash course on his powers." Wyatt looked over at Jason who nodded his head in agreement.

"Jin go pack some things we are going to stay in Elysium for a week." Jason watched as Jin bounced off towards the house. "You too Justice. Pack the essentials. Wyatt wants to leave five minutes ago."

"Yes! I'm going." Justice almost squealed in excitement and bolted to the house.

"Dad, I don't like you sending me away with everything going on." Aiden met with his father's grey eyes.

"Aiden, not only is it safer this way... but this way you can look after your sister too. The two of you together are very strong. It is just a layer of safety while we figure things out." Wyatt understood his son's feelings. But this wasn't like she was after the whole pack. This was a mission to destroy his family. They were almost certain of it. And he would make sure she didn't get ahold of his children.

"We will have you accompany Lucy to the ceremony. Then you and Lucy need to decide afterwards where you will be heading. You are welcome to stay at either place." Freya looked at Aiden already knowing where he wanted to go. He would want to go to the dragon kingdom. He liked testing his strength against the dragons. They were a real challenge where he could unload his power without worry.

"So uh...Ryan..." Aiden looked at him confused. "Are you coming with us?"

"No... but Jasper will be accompanying Lucy wherever she goes. She is his top assignment and priority. I will be handling this witch nonsense before I can be with Lucy." A sad smile rested on Derek's face. "It isn't ideal... but necessary."

"Hmm..." Aiden said almost in an accusing tone.

Derek chuckled. "Care to elaborate?"

"Just interesting is all... I mean, Jasper is the one always around her and taking care of her. I always see him... never see you. And instead of leaving the fighting in Jasper's hands so you can be with Lucy..." Aiden shrugged. "Just interesting... Just makes me wonder which one of you she is really better off with. Jasper is nobility. The treaty should be fine with him too, right? Maybe he is the better option. Seems like you can't be bothered with my sister." Aiden inwardly was smiling as he watched Derek's eyes grow dark. This was the reaction he was looking for. He needed to see his emotion when it came to Lucy. The best way to do that would be to challenge that he wasn't a good enough mate for her.

"I am the strongest and am the leader of the elite soldiers. It is only natural for me to be there to command them. Also, Jasper is the person I trust the most. I trust in him as a person and his fighting skills. This is why I have him close to Lucy when I cannot be." His eyes flashed at Aiden. "Lucy is my world. She. Is. Mine. And there is no other option but me." His eyes softened and he looked down at his mate. "I just hope I can be good enough for her."

"Aww of course you are good enough for me." Lucy smiled up at him and then turned an annoyed gaze to Aiden. She could see the smirk spreading from his lips and she sighed. "Really Aiden? You just can't help yourself."

"Hey, I needed to see his emotions. He has been awfully quiet there. How am I supposed to know what his intentions are." Aiden shrugged innocently. "I still want to have that chat... come with me?"

Derek nodded his head. "Jasper..."

Jasper extended his arm to Lucy. "At your service." He said in a butler tone with a cheeky grin on his face.

Aiden... Lucy warned through their mental link.

Yeah, yeah, yeah sis. This is customary man stuff. Aiden winked at Lucy. "I'll take you to the office. It is sound proof so we can talk freely."

Derek kissed Lucy on the nose. "We won't be long... I want to spend as much time with you as possible." He gave her one lasting look before he placed her next to Jasper's side. "It was nice meeting all of you. I am sure we will be seeing more of each other in the future given the circumstances." He slightly lowered his head in respect to Tyler and Lilly. Then with a nod to Wyatt and Freya, he walked off with Aiden.

"If he ever mistreats you Lucy just tell your Uncle Tristan and I'll settle it for you." Tristan said with a protective tone.

Wyatt chuckled. "You'd have to get in line. Anyone who mistreats my baby girl will have to deal with me directly."

"I'd never let Lucy be mistreated. You have my word. If it came to her being mistreated, I would protect her... but I can promise you that won't happen. Lucy is precious to all of them... to her mate most of all." Jasper smiled down at Lucy. He may follow orders but if he ever thought Lucy was being mistreated, he wouldn't allow it. He wouldn't care who he had to go against. She was important to him... she was family.

"We are ready!" Justice came jogging to the group with Jin trailing behind him. Jason immediately grabbed the bags from Jin and gave Justice a reproachful look.

"Next time take your mothers bags too."

Jin giggled. "I am perfectly capable of carrying a couple of bags. Silly bear."

"Let's head to the training grounds before we leave. I need to talk with Sam for just a quick moment." Wyatt linked his hand with Freya. "We will be back later tonight Lucy. Don't leave the pack borders..." There was a low threatening growl in Wyatt's tone. It was a promise to Lucy not to disobey him. "Don't worry. I won't let her anywhere near the border." Jasper grinned looking down at his prisoner.

"Lucy... don't over think everything. Premonitions are just that. They are not concrete. It is a warning of a possible future. And we will make sure we stop it from happening. Just worry about yourself." Lilly looked into the green eyes of her granddaughter. Eyes that were similar to her own.

"Thanks grandma. I'll try to push it from my mind for now." Lucy watched her family walk off to the lower training ground. She still wasn't sure about this whole guardian business but if it was Justice at least she was already comfortable with him. "Just you and me." Jasper sighed with a smile.

"Lucy you are back!"

Lucy turned her head to see two guys jogging up to them. It was Kurt, her brother's future beta (he was also the son of Sam and Renee) their family have always been the beta's to the alpha. From Kade who was Tyler's Beta, to Sam who was Wyatt's beta and now Kurt who would be the future beta. Kurt was only a few months younger than them. He had dark hair and brown eyes. And was a fairly easy going and sweet guy.

The other man was Jamie. Jamie was Aiden's future gamma (he was the son of the previous gamma Winston). Jamie was only seventeen. His father had found his mate, Florence, after the demon war was over. Florence was a witch not a werewolf. Unfortunately, a couple years ago she got very sick and passed away. It was a tough adjustment but together Jamie and his father managed.

"Do you have any idea how much punishment we received? Aiden put everyone to work. We were doing three a days of training because you disappeared." Jamie said with a fake stern tone.

"That was your fault, Jamie!" Kurt said with a twisted face. "If you wouldn't have run off with those other pups Lucy never would have left the territory."

"I was just going after them to keep them safe!" Jamie said with a small pout. "Besides, my dad already punished me enough. He is having me do nightly drills all summer because of it."

"You are a future leader, Jamie. As the pack's future gamma, you need to lead by example." Kurt shook his head in annoyance. "Anyways Luce Luce, you look fine. Is everything okay? I see Jasper found you. Nice going Jasper."

"I'm perfectly fine." Lucy held her hands out with a shrug.

"Lucy can't ever disappear. I'll always find her." Jasper teased and poked the side of Lucy's head.

"Are you both supposed to be at the training grounds right now?" Lucy gave them both a crooked smile. "Skipping?"

"No way princess!" Kurt said in an offended tone. "We are being sent to the kiddies today. We are in charge of seeing which ones are getting close to shifting."

"Which we are now running late for." Jamie grinned looking back at Kurt.

"s**t. Gotta run Lucy. Fill us in on the details later!" Kurt yelled as the two quickly jogged away.

"They are going to get yelled at." Lucy giggled, smiling up at Jasper. "Want to raid the kitchen for snacks?"

"Sure, snacks sound great but I'm on to you. You just want to be as close to Derek as you can." Jasper gave her a wry smile and winked down at her. He watched her cheeks redden slightly. "You know... I can't tell you how happy I am that you two are mates. You are both my favorite people and there is no better outcome than this."

"I don't think it could be more perfect either. I wish we could spend more time together... but I guess we have our whole future for that." Lucy's voice was soft as she stared at the house.

Jasper roughed her hair up. "Let's see if those legs of yours are fully healed... race ya?"

"Oh you are on!"
