“I got the all-clear. Ten seconds and showtime,”Jayce announced.“Good luck everyone.”
The remaining pack members said quick good lucks and then our minds went quiet as we prepared for our debut.
“I’ve got your back, William,”Bria declared. His husky voice invited a wave of empowerment that made me feel like I was unstoppable.
Appreciated, Bria.
A hand grasped my right one - and my eyes moved to the culprit of the hold which rewarded me with that set of beautiful pink jewels.
Dimitris. Can’t be manly when you’re holding my hand.
He allowed himself to smirk before he did the unexpected and lifted my hand so he could press his lips against my flesh. The tingling waves of desire sparked through me, while his fearlessness was as bold as his admiration for me.
“Under normal circumstances, you’re right,”he agreed as the seductive depth of his voice bounced against the walls of my mind.“But we’re far from normal, aren’t we?”
His cockiness now just made me huff and give him a rebellious, smug look, but a smile ended up carving my lips before I tightened my hold around his hand.
Guess you’re right.
“Good.”He glanced away just like I did.“Let’s show them how manly we can be while holding hands.”
“We’re clear,” the guard announced. “Mr. De Luca, Mr. Moore, right this way.”
The guard led the way, and I knew Viktor would be behind us, but any type of apprehension that fought to dampen my parade faded away as I fell right into the shoes of my character.
I was an actor, ready to walk upon the grand stage and deliver an outstanding performance.
It only took five seconds for the first set of fans to get a sight of us - their shrill screams triggering the rest like tousled waves.
That cued the shutters as all the photographers, and reporters were immediately starting their broadcasts as they competed with their surrounding competitors.
“WILLIAM!!”
“DIMITRIS!”
“WILLTRIS! WILLTRIS! WILLTRIS!”
The atmosphere felt like static as the cheers grew louder and louder, and a mere glimpse showed that the massive columns of stairs that led to the entrance were literally swamped with fans. Some held signs, others held posters of me, Dimitris, or both of us, and others even had pictures with me and some of the other Forbidden members.
Only the middle staircase column had been protected for dear life thanks to the Omegas standing at attention along the railings, ensuring no one else could crowd that spot and disrupt the traffic that would lead to our Enterprise.
There was something extremely moving about seeing all these people before the building we’d just established. We hadn’t even announced our grand opening yet. To see with my eyes how my mere existence could impact so many and bring so much joy just by the sight of me in real-time was truly gratifying.
It was so easy to focus on the bad things, on all those who were celebrating at the mere assumption I was dead with my fellow packmates, but I had to remember that for all the hate, I had plenty of love surrounding me.
This journey I’d embarked on had unexpectedly moved a lot of people. Some came out of the closet. Others were willing to be true to themselves and give up trying to please the world around them. I was a role model in my own unique way, and this was just another reminder of the impact I carried in the palms of my hands.
Dimitris squeezed my hand a little harder as if to reassure me that this was where I was meant to be: being supported in my various endeavors, being praised for my perseverance in life, being a founder of a grand company with a brilliant future while providing loads of employment to those who’d been outcasted from our society all because they wouldn’t submit to the common law of wolf shifters being in packs.
My life was changing so many lives, and this was just reminding me that I couldn’t back down when things got hard.
I have to stand my ground and reach the finish line.
“Ah! They’re holding hands!”
“Dimitris! Are you madly in love with our William?!”
“Have you guys been official since the last event!”
