Dimitris was trying to hide his obvious bewilderment as his cheeks began to turn red.
“Can I be Alpha for a moment?”he inquired, and I felt the others rise in curiosity. I was just as intrigued as to what would happen next, but I knew from the unified sense of calm that none of us were concerned about him taking the lead.
William questioned him with his silent gaze, and I wondered what they were saying between them. “You’re Willa, aren’t you?” Dimitris finally questioned, even though it sounded like he already knew the truth.
All William did was smirk defiantly back before he muttered,“Will.”
"Your alters are going to have their own book of aliases soon,” Dimitris muttered mostly to himself, but I felt like he’d already made his decision. “Go ahead, Will. I support you.”
“Really?”he pressed for confirmation as if to ensure everyone standing here was aware that he was given Dimitris’s blessing to do whatever the fuck he wished.
I couldn’t determine of that was a good thing or a real fucking bad thing.
Dimitris reached out to lay his hands behind Will’s neck, pulling him forward so their foreheads pressed together. The sight made goosebumps run through me, and I was sure the others felt the same as Dimitris whispered, “Whatever you do, we have your back. Do you want revenge? Do you want to ignite a fucking war? You want to shed blood upon the ground beneath us? It’s your choice in this moment.”
He leaned back to ensure his eyes bored into Will’s.
“In this very moment, you are Alpha of this pack. As your Beta, all I can do is support you.”
Watching this unfold only reminded me of when I’d met Dimitris. When I felt so fucking broken, tainted, shattered from the agony that assaulted me from contributing to the death of my love. But regardless of my burning desire for revenge and the need to heal, he was willing to support me no matter what path I took.
They shared one more look before he let go, and Will walked towards the group of women. I hesitantly glanced over to Aurelia, noticing the way she watched the entire thing unfold before her.
I couldn’t quite grasp her expression. Either she was trying to understand why our pack dynamic was so supportive in trying times like this, or how it was so easy for Dimitris to back Will up when so much was at stake.
It was obvious Will wasn’t in the right mindset. Heck, Will was apparently the male version of Willa, and we knew that version of psychosis was a powerhouse that could get us into a whole lot of trouble.
Then again, at this point in time, whatever transpired from this moment onward would be supported by all of us, and maybe that was what was questioned -and a bit scary -because whether one wished to ignore it or not, we supported one another like one solid unit.
That was something not many packs or covens could boast about.
The tension sparked the closer Will got to the group of women, and their auras only grew which began to put me on the edge. It didn’t seem to bother Will, who kept his aura surprisingly to a minimum. Even when he took that final step that had him facing them, his aura was smooth.
And captivatingly beautiful.
We held our breaths as the lead Elder’s eyes narrowed in utter disgust.
“If you’re here to apologize, bow already.” She actually smiled as if she’d suddenly won. “You’re only making the right decision for yourself and your pack of abominations.”
Will tilted his head as he observed her carefully.
“Abomination.”The simple word held a different level of power, one that made us feel anxious all of sudden. Now it felt like the crazy side was beginning to seep into Will’s body, and we listened to the threatening chuckle that escaped his parted lips.“Ten seconds.”
I glanced at the others, wondering if they knew what the ten seconds referred to, but they looked just as confused as I was.
“Nine. Eight. Seven.”
“We’re done with you wasting our precious time! Interfering with our witch rights under the supernatural law is illegal. You think because you stole the damn High Court position that you can disrespect us? The Coven Elders will NOT tolerate-”
“One,”Will interrupted her ”justifiable” rant, and suddenly, my knees buckled.
What the fuck?!
My body dropped to the floor. The others surprisingly were forced to do the same. The only ones who still remained standing were Neo, Dimitris, and Milo, and even they were struggling against the invisible force that sent us to the ground.
The Elders didn’t stand a chance, their bodies dropping to the floor like dead flies.
Only the lead woman with tousled grey strands fought against the power. Magic oozed out of her in waves to combat the energy that demanded her cooperation.
