Instinctively, I brought Willow closer to me, noticing how her eyes had lost their blue color which was replaced with various shades that made them twinkle like prism jewels. The fabric of her dress fluttered effortlessly with the wild threads of wind, and the newly obtained markings glowed brilliantly.
The medallion upon her chest emerged from its hiding place and surged to life. The magic was uncontainable as it oozed freely and contributed to the spinning tornado happening around us.
I caught onto the escaping threads of blood magic, realizing that was the excess Milo would absorb so it wouldn’t damage the environment around us. But my attention returned to Willow as her body went limp – and my arms secured themselves around her waist to catch her momentarily.
I had to secure my hold on her because she was limp but began to float upward. The markings across her body blared to the surface, begging to be seen by the world. The flow of magic should have stopped by now, but it was as if I’d unlocked Pandora’s box. The flowing magic of various colors contributed to the storm above as thick clouds came rolling in.
“You weren’t expecting her to have this much magic.”My wolf’s concern matched my own because it was becoming crystal clear that Willow was either hiding a secret we knew nothing about or she didn’t realize just how much magic she carried within her.
Do you think it’s due to the pills she’s been taking? The ones Aurelia makes?
“Could be, but we’ll have to solve that after. We need to control this or the Coven will sense what is transpiring here.”
He was right, but I was playing a dangerous game. I could admit that my multitasking skills were not on par, which meant if I started something that didn’t focus on this awakening, it may be a lost cause.
And an unnecessary waste of energy.
I didn’t like asking for help, but Willow’s magic wasn’t stopping.No…it was getting stronger.
“Viktor.”I was shocked by the sound of Dimitris’s voice in my head, but his presence forced me to realize that I wasn’t alone.“Do you need assistance?”
I hesitated to answer, but one look at Willow’s floating body forced me to push my fears aside. This wasn’t about me anymore.
We’re doing the ritual, but Willow’s magic…. It’s too much. Far too much for a wolf shifter to carry.
I guessed my distress went straight into the pack bond because Milo spoke.
“Do you want us to try to conceal the energy?”he inquired in urgency.“You didn’t say Willow has goddess potential magic.”
Goddess what?
“The highest rank of ‘witch’ a woman can obtain,”Loki pitched in with the explanation and quickly added,“I had a feeling her magic energies were abnormal to begin with, but I assumed it was the pills she takes to control her gender swaps.”
“Should I come down?”Saint inquired.“I can bring Jayce along. Our magic isn’t close to as strong as you guys’ but it’ll help ensure no one picks up on it.”
Can you get here in thirty seconds?
The levels were already too noticeable, but I caught onto the walls of gold and red that shot up into the sky, the two walls parallel to the other. It definitely reduced the energy leaking outside, but we needed two more walls.
“Saint?”Dimitris questioned the Dark Lord, but I suddenly caught onto their presence.
“Here,”he declared.
“Viktor, focus on the ritual,”Jayce urged.
Seconds later, two more walls soared into the air, sealing us within a cube of protective energy. One wall was red mixed with black, one wall was gold that glimmered with a mix of prism and black shards, the third wall was inky black and looked like summoned shadows, and the last wall was intense fire, the flames looking as ruthless as that of a phoenix.
Suddenly, my sight was closed off entirely as my surroundings were now completely white.
I brought Willow against me, her body still floating and glowing mesmerizingly but on a lower scale as the rest of the illuminated world of white swallowed us whole.
When we resurfaced, I stood in a corner of a dark room, and the familiarity of the world made my heart suddenly beat faster while my hands clung even tighter around Willow’s frame.
I knew exactly where I was. This memory was from years ago and yet was suddenly fresh in my mind. The spark of gunshots made me flinch in my spot, and my eyes darted to the exit just to see me rush into the room with Roberto behind me.
“Go!” I urged Roberto, but the stubborn man merely chuckled as he pulled out a gun and reloaded it.
“And leave my top guard?”
