"On what terms?" Viktor demanded. "I don't take commands from you, regardless of whether Willow's a part of your pack or not."
That means he’s being a bitter bastard because I was in this predicament due to Dimitris's actions helping to egg me on.
"Vik...tor." I didn't think I'd struggle to speak, but I did, and felt like fucking shit. If I lost consciousness, it wouldn't end well.
"Viktor, she needs a shot. We can deal with this leadership shit later," Onyx emphasized. Viktor tsked, but it seemed like he was retrieving something before Onyx sighed in relief. "You have one."
"Give it to her in the car," Viktor encouraged. "Also, if you're going to be a possessive asshole, don't punish her like I'm positive you want to."
"I said nothing," Onyx pointed out.
"You don't need to say a word for all of us to read you like an open book," Neo acknowledged.
"Only because I allow it," Onyx brushed off.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Neo concluded.
Sleep? The fucker doesn't sleep when he wants to punish someone.
My thought must have gone through to them because they were chuckling the next second, which left Saint a bit stumped.
"So...did I miss the joke?"
"Wilting Flower must have said something in their mate bond," Jayce acknowledged.
"I forgot about that connection stuff. Damn. That's not fair," Saint complained.
"We have a wolf connection, idiot," Jayce muttered. "Alright. Enough stalling. We have to go."
"You sense them, too, huh?" Saint commented. "We’ve got time."
"No, we don't," Onyx pointed out.
"While you and Neo were playing heroes of the century, we secured the area with a few traps," Saint revealed. Suddenly, the ground shook as loud sounds that resembled fireworks went off. "Ah. There we go."
Screams of agony cut through the air, and they sounded far closer than I would have predicted.
"That's our cue to jet," Saint declared.
Onyx secured me in his hold while Dimitris spoke. "Two hours. I'll need you for thirty minutes, and then we'll return to Neo's hotel to regroup. Then we'll know what our game plan will be."
Dimitris was obviously directing the statement to Viktor.
"Fine," he agreed, but he didn't sound pleased about it.
"If you need backup, just let me know. You know how," Onyx stated, which had to be directed to Viktor.
"You wouldn't abandon Willow now," Viktor acknowledged. From the swaying movement of my body, we were moving swiftly.
"You're correct, but I also know you're important to her, so if I let you go get into stupid shit, she'll scold me the best way she knows how."
"No access, huh," Viktor stated like it was an obvious fact.
"That, and she'd probably never speak to me again. I can't afford that now. Would be a pain with a bond as strong as this."
"Valid," Viktor replied. "Recap later?"
"Yes. For now, just secure her valuables. And if you can get a hold of Aurelia, please do. I want to make sure Willow is actually okay inside and out."
