And how did that happen?
If this elevator didn't move any faster, I'd surely pop a vessel or two at the sudden spike of anxiety I was fighting to hide. None of us were in the mood or mindset to deal with more bullshit after the last forty-plus hours we'd experienced with little to no sleep.
"It has to be internal, but it had to be five minutes ago from the time stamp glitch,"Jayce stressed.
"Who can get to Willow first?"Saint questioned.
"I could, but I'm not in the right position to do so,"Onyx admitted.
I'm in the elevator. I should be there in a minute.
"Do we even have a minute?"Jayce grumbled in pure annoyance. I could already feel him beginning to mentally blame himself for this mess up -not a good sign.
"What's the problem?"Neo's calm voice filtered through the bond.
If we tell you, I'm not sure the world will survive.
"Security cam to Willow's office is fucked. Dimitris is gonna be there in less than a minute."Onyx decided to be the bearer of bad news.
There was a moment of silence - the tension within our pack bond spiking as we anticipated the worst.
"She's sleeping."
We waited for Neo to continue as if expecting him to elaborate what he meant by Willow being asleep. When he didn't -and wasn't about to destroy the world as we know it -I decided to risk asking for an explanation.
Sleep as in not kidnapped, drugged, or knocked unconscious, sleeping?
Neo chuckled at my obvious concern.
"She's safely sleeping in her office, and from the feel of it, she's William at the moment,"Neo revealed."Gonna calm your nervous paws?"
"Why does your revelation only make me want to punch you?"Onyx inquired mostly to himself.
"You hate when someone else knows what your woman is doing before you?"Neo tossed back, and I swore he was probably smiling from ear to ear."Seeing as we're mates though, you don't mind."
"I should mind,"Onyx grumbled."Stop fucking smiling."
"You should, Neo. You're making this guy think you're about to revive him for the twenty-fourth time,"Saint suggested.
The elevator finally came to a stop, but my heart was already beginning to ease its rather rapid pace. Yet another organ that decided to prove how important Willow was becoming to the pack -becoming important to...me.
I thought you guys said you were cleaning up?
"Oh, we are,"Saint assured us."But this guy has some info on Garfield."
The elevator doors opened, and I was walking a little too fast to the second to last office on this floor. The security guards were standing at attention, guns in hand, which only further eased my mind. Until we were up to date on what was happening behind the scenes, we had to be on our guard.
"Anything valuable now?"Jayce inquired.
"Not yet,"Saint replied. "A night here will surely do the trick, but we do know he ain't too pleased that Willow's alive and being praised globally for her promotion and courage for revealing the truth of the dual gender identity."
"Hmm?"Jayce pitched in."Problem."
"What?"Onyx inquired.
"Snipers. They're not anywhere close, but I'm picking up a weapon outside the property."
Observe for now. I'm already at Willow's office. Onyx, tell Viktor to hurry back. He knows this property inside out. It'll be easier to secure Willow to a safe location if something else transpires.
