Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,102

tucked him into bed.

Saint and I moved to the hallway before we spoke.

"Viktor is a wild card, like Willow," Saint noted.

"You think?" I inquired, my eyes meeting his as we rested against the wall near the door. Saint's eyes darkened - his wolf coming forward just as mine did the same.

"I haven't finished researching, but Russia wants him back."

My wolf was in control as I took a back seat, my eyebrow rising at his words.

"What do you mean by 'wants him back'? Even with his connection to Willow and the whole royalty thing, didn't he work for Roberto years before he left the life of an assassin?"

"That's what I found," Saint admitted but his eyes grew even darker as his usual white-and-golden eyes shifted to a misty silver. "It's not his assassin skills they want. It's his magic."

"Great," I replied. "So something to do with his past that's trying to poke out its head?"

"Maybe," Saint replied. "I'm finding this out through the grapevine, which means someone is planning something and it will involve Viktor."

"If it involves Viktor, it will involve Willow," I elaborated.

"Which involves us," Saint concluded.

It took me a minute before I frowned deeply. "The Coven?"

Saint gave me a look. "The Vile Queen. Whoever she is, we need to figure it out before we're all pulled into something."

"We shouldn't be involved," I huffed. "This is only going to get messy. I'm not here to become an endangered species."

"You already are." Saint rolled his eyes, but they were as serious as ever. "We're all endangered, Jayce, but guess what the problem is?"

My wolf’s thought process was way faster than mine, leaving me shocked as something seemed to click. "Willow."

"What if Willow is a Connector?" he offered in a tiny whisper.

"I haven't heard that word since I was a kid, Saint," I whispered.

"Same, but an acquaintance of mine who's close to Aurelia stated that's what the Coven thinks Willow is."

A Connector Wolf.

"I thought those were all myths," I whispered.

"Maybe, but until we can find the real description of that name, we'll have to leave that up on the potential board."

"If she is one...that's good for us," I muttered.

"You're correct," he replied. "And fucking bad for the rest of the world."

The way I smiled surely made me look like a damn villain. "If she is one...we're not going to be able to keep our secrets much longer," I noted.

Saint smiled then, his wolf retracting from control as he slipped his hands into his pockets.

"Probably," he began and shrugged. "Maybe it's about time we endangered wolves came out to play?"

He moved from the wall and turned away.

"Maybe then these fools of wasteful currency and weak power will shut the fuck up and leave us to live in peace." His voice was deadly low, as if he were now a demon in human flesh.

I understood him perfectly, and his words only made my smile grow.

"If Willow accepted Neo, what are the chances she'll accept us?" I tossed to him.

His deep chuckle made clouds begin to form in the sky, the light dimming in the halls.

"Those chances are very high," he whispered. "And that's going to be the most intriguing thing of all. Because if she's what we think she is, we'll only grow stronger. The more powerful, the sooner we'll achieve our desire for immunity."

"Immunity," I repeated. "What a sacred dream."

"One we'll achieve. All Dimitris's hard work and sacrifices will be worth it."

"We really take him for granted," I whispered. "Let's get him a spa date with William."

"Now you're pushing your luck." Saint laughed, and the joyous sound made the clouds vanish and the light filter through the windows once more. "Mission: Persuade Dimitris To Give Us Two Weeks Off has to commence first."

"Two weeks my foot. Some shit is going to pop its head up in three fucking days," I complained.

"Probably," he agreed. "But as long as I get to party, drink, and dance with Willow, I'm down for whatever. Besides, we're good at multitasking."

He had a valid point.

"I'm off to bed," he concluded and began to walk but paused. "Get some rest, and can you let Dimitris know I got you a new punching bag? Figured you wouldn't want to bring the old one from the other place here. Should be here in the morning."

I blinked at his words, but he was already walking away. I knew without a doubt that he was grinning from ear to ear while leaving me in speechlessness.

"Saint's a friend that you’d think never knows shit, but
