“Sis, do you mind turning down the blanket of doom you’ve got going on here? I look like a fucking firecracker with my hair reacting like this and it just gets into a frizzy mess which will only be a pain in my ass to try to fix before my next meeting.”
I expected Willa to just stare at her like she was nuts, but the commanding energy that kept the majority of us pinned to the floor lessened dramatically - enough that I was able to stand up with the others.
“Thank you,” Ruby sang. “Now, who are you?”
Willa pouted her lips and stared at her before finally muttering,“Willa.”
“Why do you look so disappointed? Are you mad that I interrupted your fun?” Ruby gave her an expression of sympathy. "What if I give you permission to kill? I can get a cleaning crew here in two minutes and have this place fixed up and back to normal in ten! What do you say, hmm? Will that satisfy you enough so I can talk to Willow?”
“What business do you have with her?”Willa inquired.
“Well, I am your sister,” Ruby pointed out the obvious. “And I’m concerned she’ll go into shock soon because, despite your glorious debut that proves that you’re not completely psycho, you’ve been doing a pretty good job killing their reinforcements.”
“Wait, what?” Saint questioned, and the lead Elder’s eyes narrowed.
“What did you just say?”
Ruby side glanced at the woman in question and suddenly the Elder was down on the ground once more, coughing up blood.
That impressed us all.
Ruby’s gaze went from sweet to deadly as her eyes glowed a fierce red. “Did you forget your place, peasant?”
“Well, shit…”Saint’s voice seeped into the pack bond.“Why didn’t anyone share that Willow’s sister is just as badass?”
“Probably because none of us did our research,”Onyx complained.
“I did research,”Dimitris calmly revealed.“She’s wiped clean.”
“Meaning she’s either in the mafia, a club, or a gang,”Neo summed up the potential options.
“How do you jump to such a conclusion?”Milo decided to ask.
“Anyone with a perfectly clean history is always found out to be a part of the mafia, a motorcycle club, or a fucking gang,”Viktor revealed.“Think of it as protocol.”
So…about those reinforcements.
I was still focused on that tidbit because it was clear that there were only three groups of individuals here: our Forbidden Pack, the Coven, which included Aurelia, and now Ruby with Whitney in tow.
No one else was present -or so we thought.
“M-My apologies, Princess Phoenix.”
“I love how you purposely acknowledge my royalty as if the real princess hadn’t been standing before you this entire while,” Ruby seethed. “What? Because of the potential delay of the fashion show, your cult of selfish bitches has decided to play devil’s advocate and try to gain immunity with the fae? Is that also why you summoned a bunch of Russian wizards to surround my sister’s pack when she was in a moment of shock triggered by the utmost significance of this very bridge which a certain traitor had underhandedly done with the Coven’s support.”
Russian wizards?
We immediately looked around as if to try to see what Ruby was pointing out, but no one else was there.
“I have to applaud my mom, Willow, and Willa over here at this point because the level of patience and naivete one must purposely carry to watch you guys make the stupidest moves in our supernatural society is immensely high. It’s damn right agonizing,” she emphasized. “Whitney?”
“Yes, ma’am.” Whitney bowed her head slightly before snapping her fingers. Like a curtain of disguise, the invisible walls that shielded our sight revealed layers of bodies.
None of us could hide our obvious shock, and the other Coven Elders dropped to their knees and bowed their heads in mercy.
“Please, princess! Don’t kill us!”
Ruby simply chuckled. “You’re begging the wrong person.” Her sweet tone was back as she glided an arm along Willa’s shoulders and pulled her into a side embrace. “Do I need to remind you who the firstborn is in our family? Her name is Willow Alundra Phoenix.”
