I realized that Will was no longer standing there. Now it was Willa, her attire an elegant dress of sheer white that made her look like a fucking maiden. It shaped her so perfectly, and her new length of white hair began to levitate along with the lingering fabric of her dress that lifted like gravity was beginning to falter around her.
The smile that oozed onto her lips was one of pure mockery as her eyes began to twinkle like iridescent jewels. She didn’t move a muscle, watching the woman struggle, her frame suddenly looking so frail as it shook.
“Elder-” one of her peers struggled to state with the little life force they had left, but she cut her off.
“Don’t you dare say my name! These defiant children…don’t deserve to know it!”
This old hag was really getting on my nerves with her constant ridicule, like we were some high school commoners when we were grown men and women making mega-money moves in the business industry.
I guessed it was her way of trying to make herself feel better.
Wouldn’t last long though…
Her knees finally buckled, her gasp only further emphasizing her defeat as she dropped to Willa’s feet, and that was when the sweet hymn of Willa’s laughter began to flow through the air - the sound both manic and the perfect tune to emphasize these Elders’ submissive defeat.
“Submit,”she hummed and clapped her hands like this was an entertaining live play and she had front row seats.
The poor Elder’s face was so red, even a tomato’s complexion was lighter in comparison. She still shook violently, sparks of combative magic desperate to go against whatever invisible hold kept us down, but it was no use.
Whether she liked it or not, she’d unexpectedly met her match.
Willa dramatically sighed, her final clap making her close her eyes for a brief second as if she were trying to determine what she wished to do next. But that was when we all felt it.
And saw it.
As if a key had unlocked an internal door, Willa’s aura went from tame to a wild force of energy so grand I was literally mesmerized. My eyes grew massive in hopes of taking in the raging energy that looked like a rainbow flame rising higher and higher into the sky.
You didn’t need to have blessed abilities to see it. Willa was making it visible for everyone to witness with their own eyes, and this was the first time I was truly afraid of her wrath and whatever she had up her sleeve.
“Daddy! Rainbow,” Malika noted as she moved to hug Milo, who had been forced onto one knee. That left Dimitris and Neo, and one glance at both of them told me they were on their final strands of resistance. “Scary?”
“No,” Milo surprisingly admitted as he reached out to pull Malika into his side. “That right there, Malika, is the true aura of a queen.”
How true those words were. I noticed my wolf was sitting proudly before he howled in unison with the others through our pack bond. The unified howls of our wolves were mind-blowing, and it only confirmed what Willa was emphasizing.
She wasn’t an outcast anymore. She was of royalty, an Alpha female with immense power, and a wielder of magic so grand, it forced even the Elders of the Coven to bow to her reign.
She needed them to understand what they would deal with if they pushed her buttons again, and though I’d never admitted it out loud, I wanted them to try our Forbidden Queen one more time.
Just so I could see this beautiful sight burning with immense fury.
We watched as Willa crouched down and reached out to force the woman’s chin up to acknowledge the intensity in her glimmering eyes. Any sign of amusement dropped from her expression in that moment, revealing the menacing anger that was glossed by her crazed complexion.
“Well. Well. Well,“Willa began. And fuck, she didn’t sound even an ounce crazy as she further cocked her head upward in judgment.“How does it feel to bow down to your ruler?”
Could such a woman scowl any further?
The immense rage was palpable, and all that did was motivate Willa further. Her tender giggle was melodic, versus her usual manic nature.
“You attempt to bring an innocent child of royalty into your gambling games by using a robotic being you created in a lab to further control what you can’t. Do you wish for me to be an enemy of the Coven so badly? Does my existence truly bother you? Does it ignite such boiling rage because I didn’t die after the countless instances that were created to remove me from the land of the living? I wonder what you’re really afraid of?”
Her hand moved to grip the woman’s neck, and the other Elders gasped in fear.
“Leave her alone, you psycho bitch!”
I’d forgotten about the menacing girl who’d not only been the contributor to switching Willow’s meds in the first place but had also aided in the kidnapping of Malika.
She tried to do some sort of spell as she combated the heavy energy that kept the rest of us on the ground, but she only took three steps before blood began to drip out of her nose while her frame began to convulse.
