"Got it."
My consciousness was beginning to fade now, and at some point, I felt us make it to the car. I wanted to sleep, I really did, but there was just something frightening that lingered at the thought.
What if I lose control? This isn't the time for psycho Willow right now. What if we get attacked? I shouldn't rest. I need to be strong for what's to come...but I'm so tired. Fuck...
I felt like I was stuck in a position I had no clue how to get out of, but was suddenly silenced by the touch of tender lips to my temple. Waves of tranquility washed over me as a soft, humming melody began to flow through my mind.
The deep serenade was like being tucked into bed and having someone's hands running through your hair at a soothing pace that only encouraged sleep to come faster. My worries, fears, and anything else that tried to leave me anxious faded away, and I was left to slip into the positives of our situation.
I’d somehow escaped death, met Mother Moon, and received proof of how much Onyx loved me. My wolf was awakened after another close call. Somehow I had two mates, was a royal princess, and was officially part of the Forbidden Pack as a wolf shifter.
There was no conscious time left to wonder about what would happen after I woke up, but the Pink Moon had somehow delivered everything I needed to destroy the depths of doubt that fought to ruin me and replaced it with all I'd been asking for.
My purpose, an identity, people who loved and cherished me, and ultimately...acceptance.
That was more than enough to allow me to succumb to the darkness, as my last thought echoed within my mind.
Thanks to the Pink Moon, I've awakened my destiny.

"We need confirmation from Boss to let you in!"
All eyes were on me, the attention making me smirk at the spike of their tense energies. Guess my hidden persona always gave those vibes, and it was why no lost sheep tried to venture into my vicinity of power.
I reached over to slightly press the button that rolled down the tinted window to my left. I didn't need to move any further as the guards in black gasped and quickly stood at attention.
"Prince Neo. W-W-We apologize! We were not aware of your arrival!"
All eyes were back on me, and seeing as Dimitris wasn't in our car, I knew I'd get a bit of questioning about the rather "royal" title. It'd been a while since I last arrived, and my guards only felt more nervous at the idea of simply calling me Neo.
Annoying.
"I had unexpected business." I got straight to the point. "We'll be staying in the penthouse. I want security doubled. Dimitris will be here shortly with another ally. They're cleared by me. I want food prepared by the time we reach the hotel. And where's Zane?"
"Zane is out on business, Prince, but I can contact him?"
"Tell him I need him here in ten minutes."
"Yes, sir!"
"Ensure the suites are available for my guests. You know how each of them like their arrangements."
"I'll handle that immediately."
There was nothing else to be said, which left me to do the honors of lifting the tiny plastic button to roll the glass back up.
"Open the gates!" the guard declared. I swore they were close to peeing their pants. It was amusing how my calm demeanor always left people trembling.
Yet they said a blind man can't rule the world.
Once the front window was shut, we moved right onto the main street that would lead to two more security points. I recalled the first time I'd brought the Forbidden to these parts. They’d thought I was ready to kill them and use their bodies for research purposes.
As amusing as the taunting idea was, I'd actually gotten used to our unique differences, but I even had Dimitris trembling internally at the potential outcome.
