I felt a little relieved that she was actually asleep. We all decided to migrate, walking over to the bench in silence before Neo lifted her up and opened her eye to see if she was actually asleep.
"Hmm. She's out."
Onyx scanned her with his eyes. "I'm not sure if I need to give her a dose or not. Her energy levels don't seem too low."
"All of this is weird," Viktor grumbled.
"Did you literally just come from the airport?" Jayce inquired.
"I was notified by Beta Malachite that there was weird activity in NYC tonight due to the event. I wasn't going to chill in Russia with the obvious assumption that weird activity had Willow as one of the targets."
"We should return to the safe house," Neo encouraged. "We're running out of time."
"Hold up," Dimitris huffed and his eyes were obviously on me. I sighed and lifted my left hand to try to run my hands through my hair.
"Seriously, I was-"
"What's that on the back of your hand?" he asked instead and I paused in the very movement to blink.
"We're never going to sleep at this point."My wolf looked exhausted.
"See...that depends on whether Neo and Onyx are going to kill me."
They were both staring at the mark. I was surprised they weren't trying to murder me.
Onyx didn't seem very pleased by it, but Neo looked curious.
"She branded you." He wasn't stating it like it was a question. He knew what happened.
How long was he hiding around?
"I'm not sure how she did it," I admitted. "I'm a bit confused as to how she functioned...well...obediently to do this."
"This is why I asked you if your darkness would have an effect on her," Dimitris growled.
Yup. I'm getting a long-ass lecture.
"Oops?" I suggested. "Not my fault we were getting jumped by four witches and their demonic, summoned creatures.”
"It was witches?" Viktor inquired. "From the Coven?"
"Witches for sure," I confirmed. "Unsure if they were directly ordered by the Coven, but that's not the vibe I got. They certainly were followers of the Vile Queen, whoever that is."
"Why did I have a strong feeling that the emergency call to this location would involve the Forbidden?"
We all looked over to see Aurelia speed walking in heels to us. I caught onto the large wolf sitting patiently on the road. I'd never seen him before, but he was clearly only here for Aurelia's sake.
"You guys have two fucking minutes to get out of here or I can't get you out of this shit! Why do I sense that a witch has died here?"
"Four, to be frank," I replied, and everyone looked at me. "It's not murder when they attack you first. Plus, did you think I was going to let them hurt my mate? I don't think..." I trailed off because it literally just clicked into my mind. "Holy fuck...Willow mated me!"
"Your thought process really makes you look dumb at times," Jayce noted.
"All the time," Dimitris grumbled.
"Hmm. At least he's useful when he needs to be," Neo noted.
"I think we should go." Onyx sighed. "I'm too tired to deal with this shit without a drink."
