Sparks crackled into existence, and my wolf was literally at the wall to my surface, her eyes wild with power as if she were possessed with the same energy that had escaped us.
I couldn't help but slowly look behind me, realizing not a single bullet had gone through me. My eyes widened as I could see why - the rows of men that were ready to obliterate us were nothing but raining ashes, like the five buildings that took the impact of the blast.
The entire building was in chaos, like an explosion had gone off, leaving the lights flickering while bursts of flames and car alarms were ringing through the street.
Whatever had secured this area had to be in effect because of the absence of screams, people, or sirens, but I was positive it wouldn't last for long.
I gathered the strength to return my gaze to my men, noticing that five of the six of them were frozen in place, while Milo was the one in front of them. Whatever golden shield he'd summoned was enough to fight off whatever I’d done - the fizzling out wall of gold giving up on trying to hold on and shattering into golden flakes.
Milo was out of breath, his shocked eyes on me, as were the rest of them, but his brave actions made sure my Forbidden Fruits were alive.
Each and every one of them.
The dripping from my nose forced me to raise my trembling hand that still vibrated with shocks of purple and pink to wipe the trail of dripping thickness. The smear of blood confirmed I'd gone far beyond my limit.
My body felt like it was shutting down as the smeared sight of my blood grew blurrier and my body felt like weights had suddenly been attached to me.
That was when I sensed someone behind me.
There was nothing I could do, my eyes rolling back as my knees buckled. An odd, musky scent with a mix of sandalwood engulfed me as my body crashed into a wall of muscle. I wondered if it was Onyx, but I could tell their hold was different.
Voices were calling me, and through it all, I could hear Aurelia's shrill scream.
"WILLOW!"
It felt like it was too late, as I was now floating through a shift of hot and cold. I wanted to fight, or just open my eyes, but I was struggling to survive.
"If you're worthy of all this trouble, maybe I'll just keep you to myself,"a deep voice rumbled in the spiral space that faded away, along with my consciousness. I felt helpless and scared, and worried that I wouldn't wake, but the voice somehow sensed that.
"I will keep you alive. You're my escape route, after all."
My world faded to black.
Save me...

Expand For The Sake Of Our Willow
~VIKTOR~
"WILLOW!"
She disappeared with the bulky masked man - their presence fading entirely like he was a part of the very darkness that had begun to creep into the ringing streets.
I moved before my mind could process everything, standing in the exact spot as if I could grab a fucking clue about where Willow was taken to.
Magic still buzzed in the very spot she'd vanished from, the sizzling energy still coursing through me as I sensed something was off within myself.
A flowing tunnel. A connection. A beating heart. Weak...but there.
I looked down to my chest, expecting to see the necklace I'd hidden with my magic, but instead, there was the glowing symbol that still buzzed with the same lethal force that blew our enemies into ashes.
If it wasn't for my obvious fear about where Willow was, I could get lost in the magnificent sight as it glowed against my flesh on my left chest pec.
"This is bad," Aurelia whispered. "Fuck. We...we need to get to Russia!"
That caught my attention, but I struggled to move -or think.
