Dr. Luna
Chapter 38

She felt the arms on her shoulders drift down and she looked back to Tristan.

"Are you okay? You were taking the pain away... weren't you?" Lilly watched him beam a crooked smile to her.

"That's my job. To take your pain away. Of course, I am fine." Tristan gave her a reassuring smile, but the sweat beads on his forehead was showing how much pain he was enduring.

She looked back to Tyler. She now had to explain to him a lot more and also ask something else of him now. Unlocking her memories revealed so much to her. She knew her duty and what she had to do. "I already know who you are so don't worry about my reaction." Tyler smiled at her and pulled her into his arms.

"Wait... how do you know?"

"Tristan and Cedric explained everything before we went out to look for you. It's the only reason why I have accepted Tristan living among our pack." Tyler gave Tristan an irritated look which he chuckled at. "Oh... you don't mind at all? It doesn't bother you?" Lilly wanted to make sure he was okay with who she was. After all, it was a big deal.

"Lilly, I don't care who you are. You are mine. It is as simple as that." Tyler talked into her hair and left gentle kisses on her head.

"Tyler..." She leaned back so that she could stare into his face. "Do you not only accept me, but my people? All of them?" This was important to her. She was the princess of the fairies and it was her duty to take care of them. "Look how serious you look. Of course Lilly." Tyler thought she was being adorable with her questions.

"Tyler, I mean it. This isn't something to half heartedly answer. There is only one kingdom and I am the only princess. Being with me and accepting that is a big responsibility... a burden to you."

He reached out and cupped her face, smiling at her. "Lilly, my kind are your kind and your kind are mine. You are not a burden to me; you are the most precious gift I could have ever wished for." "Lilly, I think you just need to come out and explain to him what you are trying to replace out." Tristan knew what Lilly was beating around the bush trying to say. It was easier to just come out with it. Lilly nodded. She gnawed on her bottom lip feeling oddly anxious. She felt like this is how a guy feels when they ask a girl to marry them. You are pretty hopeful they will say yes, but that slim chance that they will say no is the only part that consumes your mind. "Tyler, I am your people's Luna which is what connects me to your pack. In order to connect you to the fairies... do you agree to become their prince? Their future king?" Lilly watched as Tyler finally understood what she was trying to say to him. "Before you answer, I need to say something else. Not now, but in the distant future, it would require us to move to the fairy kingdom. This wouldn't have to happen until after there is an heir here for the diamond pack." Lilly wanted him to know that if he accepted being the fairy kingdom's future king, that would mean that he would eventually have to leave.

Tyler stared at her for a second and then a large smile spread across his face. "So, you are going to have my babies?" Tyler thought about how she mentioned an heir taking over for his pack. The idea of her having his children gave him a sense of pride and longing towards her.

Lilly blushed openly realizing what she had just admitted. She shyly nodded towards him. "The first-born male of an Alpha becomes their future leader... likewise the first-born daughter becomes the future for the fairy kingdom. Traditionally, the fairy queen always gives birth to a daughter first."

"The idea of having a family with you is more then I could ever ask for. Lilly, I will follow you anywhere. I'll accept being your prince and king, as long as it means that I can always be by your side."

Lilly's eyes lit up at his answer. This is what she was hoping for but wanted to make sure he was okay with it. She stood up and pressed his shoulders down, stopping him from standing with her.

"I am accepting you as my present and future and prince to fairy kind." She then leaned down and kissed his forehead and then his eyes.

He felt a warmth flow over him, like warm water being poured over his body. He felt a power form inside of him. Both he and his wolf were now stronger. Jax was pleased with his new strength and he pranced happily around in Tyler's head. When Tyler opened his eyes, Lilly was smiling down at him.

"Tristan, allow the fairies to enter. They wish to meet their princess and new prince." Lilly watched as Tristan nodded and she grabbed Tyler's hand.

He stood at her side and turned with her to face the distance. As he turned, he noticed Cedric lowered his head in reverence to him, a gesture he had never done to him before. He was acknowledging him as his leader. He looked Cedric over, he was indeed covered in a gold dust that Lilly had mentioned before.

As he stared out in the distance, there were creatures coming into vision that he had not noticed before. Some of them were just walking into view, but there were smaller ones closer that seemed to just pop up. He turned and looked at Lilly, a bit confused.

"You have been recognized as the fairy prince. Because of that, I was able to bestow upon you certain powers. You can now hear and see the fairies that were not visible to you before." Lilly smiled as she pulled him a few steps forward watching his eyes look around in amazement. A gathering audience of fairies and different creatures were arriving to greet them. She squeezed her hand tightly around his. "This is still pretty new to me too."

Tyler was astonished! He never realized how many fairies were around but not visible. His eyes were opened to a whole other world.

"How do I know which ones are visible to me and not everyone else." Tyler whispered under his breath to Lilly giving her a crooked grin.

"Most of those little rug rats down there are invisible. Some of them can go in and out of visibility, depending on if they want to be seen or not. Pay attention to their glow. If there is a purple hue around them, then they are not visible to anyone else." Cedric walked up behind them and pointed around at the fairies.

"So, what does your light mean?" Tyler looked back at him staring at the soft glow that emitted from him.

"Heh, I guess it makes sense that you can see it too. That's a secret we will have to talk about later." A sheepish smile spread over Cedric's lips and he lowered his hand showing that he kept it on the down low.

Lilly already knew what it was and what it did. His own personal woman attractant. If Kade only knew he wouldn't feel so insecure about himself. It was a secret, even among fairies. Being royalty meant you were entitled to certain privileges and knowledge. She wondered how Tyler would feel about it when he found out.

A couple of sprites ran up to Lilly and began to tug at her foot excitedly. They were wanting her to lift them up so they could see her better. A low growl trickled out of Tristan's throat and the sprites froze in fear.

"Tristan, it's okay. They are just curious." Lilly lowered her hand down and picked two of them up. She turned and looked at Cedric curiously. She remembered seeing them when she was younger, but was a bit fuzzy on what they were called.

"I won't tolerate disrespect." Tristan grumbled out and folded his arms while he glared at the sprites.

"Those are sprites, Lilly. They are little troublemakers too. They can't help but get into mischief." Cedric watched Lilly and could tell she thought they were cute and rolled his eyes. Sprites were tiny like brownies, but they had wings. They also had similar features to a human only tinier. They liked to make items disappear when you are looking for them, or untie your shoelaces, or cause you to trip when you are running or walking. As far as Cedric was concerned, they were all pests.

Tyler saw some little fairies run up to him and he knelt down near them. They were brownies and they took that opportunity to climb into his hand. It was fascinating. These were creatures he never knew existed, yet here they were, and he was now holding them. "Man, I am missing out on so much, I can't see a thing." Kade frowned as he walked up closer. He felt like he was left out of an exclusive club.

"You'll have to marry a fairy then, so you can gain entry." Cedric teased.

"You offering?" Kade laughed, as Cedric raised his hands and stepped away. "Wait... what the hell is that?" Kade lifted his hand and pointed to orange eyes slithering towards them. This creature was not invisible, and it looked very dangerous.

Tristan took a few protective steps in front of Lilly and braced himself for what was incoming, not knowing yet if it was friend or foe. He growled at it while it came closer. Its eyes were fixated on Tyler. It was not readily accepting him and was looking on him as easy prey. Tristan took a threatening step towards the creature. This time it stopped and sized up Tristan before he bellowed back at him loudly. He was challenging Tristan to a fight.

Tristan chuckled as he began to take his shirt off accepting his challenge. "Time to learn your place, Wyrm."
