"They dated for some time before they decided to go their separate ways because they're both Alphas and Roberto is obviously into submissive women."
Our eyes widened as it suddenly clicked.
He's not trying to say...
"You're not presuming that Willow's mother isn't the woman chained in Roberto's basement since forever," Onyx huffed.
"That woman isn't Willow's mother," he declared and cursed again as if all the memories were flooding back. "Roberto called upon a fae to place a glamor on her because he wanted to protect her? No. That makes no sense. No...he did it to cover something up. That night he called me to his office and suddenly poof. All these memories were fucking wiped out, but Roberto doesn't have such power."
"No, unless someone controlled Roberto and wiped both your memories of Elphaba and replaced them with the submissive woman who took the place of Willow's birth mother," Neo deciphered, which made perfect sense.
Fuck. Why is all of this coming out now?!
"Shit."
We all turned to Jayce as his eyes widened and he quickly fumbled for the remote on the island behind him and turned the television on. He connected the laptop to it in a second, and we were able to witness the same opened file that showed Willow's childhood picture. She stood next to another girl who was even younger. The age number of four was on Willow's side of the picture while the number two was next to the second girl's picture.
Their blue eyes were identical even though Willow's hair was pink with loads of white strands, while the other girl had bright red hair that transitioned to gold and had multiple white strands. It took a closer inspection to see the hint of hazel in the other girl’s eyes.
"Princess Willow Alundra Phoenix and Princess Ruby Alundra Phoenix," Jayce announced, but his voice was barely a whisper as his astonishment took over. "Holy fucking shit. We just stepped on a land mine."
"How the fuck does everyone suddenly forget Willow's fucking royalty in one of the strongest fucking packs in the world?!" Onyx snapped. "Pink Moon Pack is centuries old. They were born under the Pink Moon and all their heirs are born and awakened on..." He suddenly trailed off and we all exchanged looks before we came to the same realization.
"Willow's wolf awakens at the peak of the Pink Moon," Neo announced.
"What time is the peak?" Saint asked.
"Two in the morning," Jayce announced. "It's eleven now."
"Did you find her location?" Viktor prompted.
"Almost," Jayce replied before he frowned in confusion.
"What?" I pressed.
"She's at our temporary house," he replied before his fingers were moving wildly on the keyboard. I noticed Saint pacing now, and I didn’t understand his nervousness.
"What's wrong, Saint?"
"What if the executive deal is more than a deal?" he questioned, which caught our attention as he came to a stop as if his hypothesis had formed within his mind.
"Meaning?" Onyx asked.
"Think about it," Saint encouraged. "The deal came after we arrived and started sweeping through NYC and getting loads of connections and offers, right? Then Willow's resignation is announced and that golden opportunity for an executive position that requires a female comes into play," he reasoned. "No one in this city other than the big guns, Roberto, and us have loads of money like that. There's no sole unit that would be able to make such a beautiful deal and want a female to be included in the business field."
"You're not trying to say..." Viktor began and Saint slowly nodded.
"What if the organization running the executive deal offer isn't an organization at all? It's the royal pack."
"The Pink Moon Pack set this up to acquire Willow." I kept my voice low as I continued, "Whoever plotted this all out so we'd never find out somehow controlled Roberto into making a deal with the three strongest packs in the world, but excluded the royal pack?"
"Which could have clued them in that something was going on," Neo reasoned. "And made them realize the truth. That Willow is William and she was potentially running for that very position."
"But why now? Why are we finding this out now?" Saint reasoned.
"Willow's wolf is supposed to awaken today..." Onyx reminded us before he stopped his own pacing movement and looked to us. "Two princesses. Willow's the eldest. If her wolf awakens...she immediately becomes the next heir."
"There's more to it," Viktor declared. "When Willow awakens her wolf, she'll trigger her mate bond automatically."
