“Neither is returning to see my Willow unconscious on the bathroom floor with a fucking vampire bite on her neck.”
“What?” Onyx’s voice alone foretold that shit was about to go down, and I didn’t think any of us wanted to deal with it.
Except for Loki.
"You’re telling me you lot of endangered wolves didn’t sense a smidge of your Alpha’s origin?” he inquired, clearly judging us as a whole.
“We’ve known for a while, Loki,” I voiced. “The original three: myself, Saint, and Neo.”
“Why didn’t you tell Onyx?” Milo genuinely asked. “I can get why you didn’t tell me or Viktor since this pack bond is supposed to be temporary, but Onyx has been with you all the same amount of time as Willow, correct?”
“Yes,” I replied.
“I doubt Dimitris’s business was of much importance when we were dealing with more pressing matters,” Saint acknowledged. “Besides, it’s not something you just air out to anyone. Even if you’re one of us now, Dimitris can’t just tell everyone who is.”
“Well, no shit,” Loki huffed and looked over his shoulder. “Can you tone down that fuming aura of yours? It’s pissing off my senses and I really don’t want to reap your ass into time out.”
We were actually speechless again. I was sure we all came to a unified understanding that these two would fight one another.
“You’re so fucking lucky,” Onyx snarled threateningly.
“Why? Because Sweets probably mentally told you to be a good boy while she’s recovering?” Loki tossed back before he actually waltzed over to the door.
No one else moved -even Viktor stood as still as a statue -as we anticipated the worst.
Loki stopped right before Onyx, and I could only imagine what his expression was like.
“Stop being a thorn in our side and ball up that possessive anxiety of yours.” No one even breathed as he spoke his next words as slow and threatening as he could. “I’m not here to fucking take your place, got it? Your Willow isn’t going to get swept off her feet and kept away from your grasp like so many things that were taken from you.”
My wolf was getting anxious, as was I. The combined energy made it hard to not react.
“Your woman is physically relaxed, emotionally stable, and sexually content. You can sense it just like the rest of us can, and you know I don’t need to be inside your Forbidden nest to acknowledge that,” he declared and straightened his stance further as he tilted his head slightly to one side. “Now stop acting like a childish fool and grow the fuck up. No one owes anyone an explanation as to why they kept their origin hidden, and if it wasn’t because you probably have no fucking clue what origin we’re from, you’d be keeping your ducks in a row in hopes no one ever figured out what makes you tick.”
“If I knew, I would share with those I trust,” Onyx muttered, and Loki actually laughed and took a dangerous step forward.
“No. You wouldn’t. The only one in your books who is worthy of knowing anything as sacred as your birth origin and the lovely list of rights that comes with it is that woman, your royal mate,” he stressed. “Everyone else is insignificant in your eyes.”
He didn’t say anything to combat him as Loki leaned back and got to the point.
“Willow is fine. If she were in any sort of distress, you would all have sensed it well before now and caught them in the act and not three minutes and thirty-five seconds after they passed out.”
“Wait…” Milo began and looked at the reaper wolf. “You knew they passed out.”
“I know a lot of things,” Loki tossed back. “You think I was the Vile Queen’s right hand for all these years for shits and giggles?”
No one said anything to that, and Loki decided to back away. All he did was flick his hand behind him and the barrier holding Onyx back shattered like broken glass - the trickles of magic raining down in glimmering red sparkles.
I wasn’t sure whether to be impressed or frightened of how much power Loki carried, but that was put on the back burner as those familiar eyes like Onyx’s landed on me.
“Can you put Sweets in bed? I doubt she’ll be out for long, but I don’t think she wants to be sore either.”
“Right,” I replied and quickly rose up. Glancing over to Viktor, I noticed he’d gotten rid of his gun and his full attention was on Loki.
“If you have something to say, go ahead,” Loki tossed out like it was no big deal from his position next to Milo.
“How do you know what Dimitris is?” Viktor inquired.
“Ah.” Loki smirked as he crossed his arms and proceeded to lean against the wall behind him. “What? Because I’m thirty, I don’t qualify in knowing the ancient history of wolves from the Pink Thunder Era?”
