Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,225

ain't on our side of darkness. We’re keeping an eye on Cali. Be careful in NYC.

The way I bit my lip would cause me to bleed if I didn't fucking lighten up on it.

I hadn't talked to Rex since we left Cali. He was one of the few "friends" I kept in touch with, but since arriving in NYC and getting mixed in with Willow, he was sadly put on the shelf because I had far bigger shit to worry about.

Rex had been in my life longer than my ex-mate. He knew of her arrival into my life and her departure, the way I fell into darkness, and how I got myself out of that spiraling turmoil. He knew of Dimitris and the others, and they had met on a few occasions.

He actually owned some boxing centers in NYC, and occasionally came to check on them. If he was warning me, it meant he had passed by and caught onto the news through the grapevine.

Not fucking good.

I didn't think we could handle any more bullshit, and frankly, I didn't have time for any "in the ring" nonsense.

I knew Willow was planning to go back to her cage fighting sooner or later, and though her privacy was protected within those fenced walls with the agreement all fighters and members swore upon, I was sure by now that those members knew the female champion was Willow De Luca - currently, the richest woman in NYC.

With a sigh, I slipped my phone back into my pocket with the intention of getting back to Rex later this evening. I was positive he'd be in bed to sleep through the afternoon until late in the evening when he'd be up and entering the ring as usual.

So...who ticked off Blossoming Flower? Because he almost killed me with a look alone.

"Dimitris," Neo and Onyx said in unison in the bond.

Saint whistled into our connection. "Sounds like our Alpha’s about to get jumped."

I looked over to the bathroom door, catching onto the sound of the shower. From the feel of it, William was tuning the world right out, or we would have felt his presence by now.

Where are you guys?

"We're actually in Dimitris's office," Saint replied. If Dimitris wasn't answering, it meant he was on the phone. "Where's William?"

Showering. Don't know what Dimitris said to piss him off, but he doesn't look very hot.

"Did he take his meds?" Onyx inquired. "Aurelia came by yesterday to up the dose."

Again?

This was probably her third dose increase since her wolf awakened.

"Aurelia believes the meds aren't aiding in balancing Willow out," Neo announced.

"Why?" Saint asked. "Hasn't she been on those meds for years?"

"You're correct," Onyx reasoned. "But Willow never used so much magic in the past. She's been on a routine for years: days are William, nights are Willow. What do you think happens when you fuck up a schedule your body is so used to?"

It goes nuts.

That was obvious. It was like following a routine for years, only for it to be interrupted. It simply left you fucked over until you could adapt or return to what your body was comfortable with.

"Can Aurelia fix it?" Saint inquired.

"Maybe." Onyx didn't sound so sure. I decided to leave William’s room to give him some space, knowing he may take some time or decide to switch back to Willow. I at least reached for a bottle of water from the mini-fridge so he'd remember to take his meds.

"Is there a problem we don't know about?" Saint inquired.

"No. There are no issues with Willow, but I think Aurelia is dealing with some shit," Onyx admitted. "She has a specific assistant that won't get off her case, so she's trying to get her fired."

She isn't even in control of hiring her own assistant?

"Willow actually got her one," Neo noted. "I don't think the Coven liked my interference."

"You were involved?" Saint inquired. "Bold royal moves."

"Nico was involved," Neo admitted. "He doesn't like when Willow's stressed about Aurelia. She is her best friend after all."

We need a grand meeting. It feels like we have to get more info from Aurelia to know what's going on with the Coven.

I reached the office door and knocked three times so they knew I was entering. Opening the door, I noticed Dimitris was at his desk and clearly on the phone. Onyx and Neo sat on the left side of the room while Saint was chilling on the right side. There was a clear empty spot next to him, and after I
