“Mhmm.” I didn’t see the big issue.
“What about Willa?”
“Uh…” Now that he mentioned it, I had no fucking clue. “I’m not sure.”
“Hmm.” He thought about it. “Doesn’t matter. Shouldn’t affect this.”
“Affect what?” Now I was curious. “If those pills are from Aurelia, Neo said he doesn’t want me taking those meds anymore. That it may be blocking shit or potentially be the reason why I’m all over the place with my reliance on them. That’s why I’m dealing with feeling like shit,” I explained as if he didn’t know. “You probably know that already.”
“He let me know,” he quietly muttered and finally let my throat go. I decided to sit up, rise, and turn around so I was on the other end of the tub, and with a swift turn, I was back in the surprisingly still warm waters and staring at a disappointed Dimitris.
Fuck, he’s so damn hot when he’s mad.
"Your disappointment enlightens me.”
“Why am I not surprised,” he huffed but offered me the pill. “Take it.”
“Didn’t I say I’m not putting anything up my puss-”
“Willow Alundra Phoenix,” he deciphered the initials which finally clicked into my brain. “One capsule. Once a day.”
I stared at him with a blank expression. He took advantage to tell me exactly what he was presenting to me.
“I contacted your mother, Queen Elphaba, and requested an emergency meeting with her using my royal status as leverage.”
“You did what?” I had to have not heard him correctly because there’s no way my Alpha had used his royal status to request a meeting with my mom -without me.“Is that allowed?”
“On normal circumstances, no.” He was managing to keep a straight face. “I said it was an emergency and had to be scheduled asap, which was last night.”
“Wait…” I needed to wrap my head around this. “Is that why you were gone the whole night?”
“Yes,” he answered truthfully.
“What did you possibly ask for? Didn’t she have an emergency?”
“She did and is still handling it, but she spared me five minutes so I could make my demand and have it approved,” he revealed.
I was trying to connect the dots. “You asked her to make a pill?”
“I requested the Phoenix family’s finest pharmaceutical professionals in the sectors of supernatural shifters and witch artistry to make a single tablet that would eliminate any withdrawals from the list of medications you’ve been taking your entire life. I also asked that they empower it to give you the ability to switch between Willow and William at will without inhibiting Willa, Bria, or anything that may be blocked due to the previous medications administered to you.”
As if the shock of his statement rattled my senses, I noticed his gaze lower just slightly which prompted me to do the same to see my breasts.
I brushed off the switch because I needed answers fast.
“What consequences did that ignite?” I had to ask because if he had to use his royal status -which I still knew so little about -to get me medication that would give me the freedom of gender fluidity while shielding me from withdrawal symptoms, there had to be a catch.
There’s always a fucking catch.
"You’ll be Alpha of the Forbidden Pack.”
The silence that followed made him sigh as he clearly read my emotions that went from shocked to anxiety central.
“Why are you panicking?”
“I’m not ready to be Alpha, Dimitris!” I hissed and shook my head for added emphasis. “I can’t even fucking balance being bonded to like what? Three? Four? Is it five now? Oh fucking hell, I don’t even know! We haven’t even addressed this!” I purposely gestured to the area just above my cleavage so he’d acknowledge the very clear bond mark that showed up the moment he fed on me. “Which we need to talk about, by the way. Like, my Alpha’s a vampire wolf sounds more like a damn drama title that would make the perfect Webtoon comic than being real fucking life.”
“Are you going on one of those rants again?” he questioned. “Because we really only have ten minutes to get out of this tub, dressed, and downstairs if you’re up for it.”
