of yourself in the timeline Mother Moon has granted you."

Hmm. Then would you still want a name? I think out of respect for you until I can get into the habit of relying on you more?

She seemed intrigued by my question as she stared at me.

"If it aids you, so be it."

Bria or Amirah?

"Bria," responded immediately. "Strong, powerful, immense vigor."

Then we'll go with Bria. Willow and Bria. I like it.

"Surprisingly enough, me too," she admitted. "Makes me feel...important."

I closed my eyes just to give her my full attention, and with a bit of hesitation, I tried to see if I could reach out to gently stroke her head. She was surprised the move worked - and for a moment it felt like I was truly in front of her and petting her soft coat of white and colorful tinsel.

"You are very important to me." I spoke out loud, and the words echoed through the dark space. "You're who I dreamed of day after day, night after night, full moon and new moon. Through all the good and bad, I prayed for Mother Moon to give me the chance to be a wolf. To be who I was born to be. Now that my prayers are answered, that doesn't mean I should take for granted what's been given to me. Every time I say your name, Bria, it will be an expression of my gratitude to Mother Moon for giving me what I desired the most."

Smiling, I admired her eyes that widened in awe, and whispered, "Thank you for waiting for me, Bria."

Blinking her eyes, she lowered her head. I was sure she was trying to hide her emotions like I would.

"You are welcome, Princess Willow."

With a blink, I was back in the room but felt good about this next step.

It's time to face the music. But first, morning coffee.

Forbidden Break

"Then admit it! You fucking drugged me!"

I paused on the last step to catch onto Dimitris's furious voice.

"Did I say I didn't?" Aurelia practically sang in glee. The realization she was here made me want to see what mayhem was about to transpire in what I assumed was the kitchen. "You probably enjoyed the best sleep of your life and you have your cock in a knot because of it. Do you hate sleeping that much?"

"We have things to do," Dimitris huffed.

"Oh ya, like passing out," Aurelia tossed back. "You're an Alpha! Take care of yourself or else you're going to be a heavy weight for your pack to carry and I ain't letting Willow do the lifting, let alone William."

"You're so fucking lucky," Dimitris fumed.

"Aww, why? Because my best friend in the world is Willow, your new Beta? Or because my best friend is now the richest and FIRST female to be in a lead role of the new enterprise, which you guys still haven't named yet? OR is it the fact that my best friend is a global trending icon and getting all the fame on social media because she's a confident badass who can now be a male or female whenever she feels like? OR-"

"Just conclude Willow's got your back and thus, Dimitris can't do shit," Onyx groaned. "Your rampage of words is too much before coffee."

Aurelia laughed. "You love it! Plus, you're just cranky because you want to be cuddling with Willow instead of working."

"Hmm? Aurelia's here?" Saint's voice asked as if he'd just arrived.

"Morning, Saint," Dimitris muttered. "Where's Jayce?"

"Coming down. We just had a delivery we needed to set up, but I'm fucking starving. Where's Neo?"

"He was here a second ago," Dimitris pointed out.

I smirked at Dimitris's comment, followed with me looking to my left to acknowledge Neo's presence. He was wearing a red shirt, black sweat pants, and a black silk ribbon around his eyes. The fabric held red characters that I couldn't really decipher at the moment because my brain was being a bit sluggish, but it looked pretty awesome in combination with his simple, casual attire.

His hair was ruffled up messily like he'd just woken up, but his slight smile only proved he didn't care about anything else but being next to me.

"Good morning, mate," I whispered.

"Morning, mate," he replied and reached to hold my hand. The touch made tingles run up my arm before his hand wrapped around mine. He didn't hesitate to lean over and kiss me. The kiss was brief but held enough intensity to it. "Need coffee?"

"Ya," I replied. "And food. I'm hungry as fuck."

"Coming right up," he assured
