She doesn’t scream. She doesn’t make a sound as she lays there dying.
I’m the one screaming, shaking, crying.
It’s her voice in my head that makes me stop.
Please, Willa. I need you here.
I don’t question it.
I don’t think about how fucking dangerous it is or how I’m going to get out from behind Rafe and Jonah.
I stand and just start walking, sensing both my men at my back. I hear them screaming my name.
But they can’t reach me. Not like this. Not now.
The wind swirls around me as I walk over the fallen wolves to get to Claudia.
I kneel beside her, taking her hand.
She’s missing huge chunks of flesh and the landing bent her leg the wrong way. But none of it affects me.
I’m not sad.
I’m not scared.
I’m just here.
Rot and death, the stink of the Wendigo mars her natural scent.
Do you believe in yourself now, Willa?
I nod, meeting her vacant eyes and entirely unsure what’s happening.
The wolf who’s also a healer and now…
She squeezes my hand and lightning shoots up my arm.
And now holds all the arcane knowledge of the most powerful witch in three states. Use it well, Omega 1.
When the lightning stops, Claudia is dead and I’m…
Well, I’m me again.
Petrified, squishy omega me.
I search for Jonah and Rafe and Drago and find them all standing just outside a ring of blackened and smoking grass that surrounds me.
All with various degrees of shock plastered on their faces.
Rafe gets his shit together first, and runs at me, pinning me between him and the ground to keep me from getting snatched up.
What the hell was that?he asks in my mind, and I melt at the comfort of his voice in my head.
I dunno. She wanted me to take her magic.
That’s not what I’m talking about, Willa.
I don’t have answers. I just want to get out of this alive.
