Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,256

shook his head as I felt the beginning process of his magic flowing into me.

"As kind as Mother Moon is, there are limits even she has to respect in this universe, dear son," he reasoned and leaned in to press his forehead against mine. "Vincenzo, I know my role in your life wasn't as significant as it should have been because of my role in my last era of life, just like your mother, but know...we are very proud of your loyalty. Proud that you've conquered the demons that fought to destroy you and found someone with enough love in their heart to be there for you. We may be too far away to talk to now, but know that we are at peace knowing you're there in our stead."

My tears fell as more of his energy rushed into me.

"Send your brother, Zyair, our blessings," he whispered. "Watch over him...for he's on an unsteady path, and sadly, we won't be there to catch him when he falls."

He pulled back enough to see my face one more time before the rest of his intense magic began to soar into me. I screamed in agony while I watched his flesh begin to crack - each crack pulsing with more magic until he was like a porcelain doll full of cracks that flowed with power.

"Farewell...son."

He shattered, and the rest of his magic consumed me. I screamed with all my might, feeling the consuming force rush into me before it projected outward. My eyes somehow caught the figure beginning to form before me - the woman with short white locks that glowed with power while her tanned flesh with various tattoos flourished in mesmerizing colors.

The symbol of my medallion glowed on her left rib, and I watched as her eyes of glowing blue opened to meet mine. The power of her wolf hovered above her, and the various energies that were once sealed within her came to the surface.

More knowledge overflowed my senses, memories that surely weren't mine filling my mind. It immediately answered so much about Willow that I’d known nothing of. Everything that happened, especially since her awakening, was a test, and this was the grand finale.

This was what the High Court needed to see to welcome us into this side of the world of magic and power.

I lifted my shaking arms and reached out until my trembling hands of glowing force pressed against her glowing white flesh. Compared to her immaculate figure of white, my body glowed with a thick black.

It was as if I were her Yin and she was my Yang, but it all made sense - everything that has unfolded made perfect sense.

She’d awakened to Endangered, and now we were entering the realms of an Outcast. An Outcast that would shift into her royal duty and be presented to the world at the highest peak of her powerful new role.

The world would have no choice but to see her, and as her Master, it was my duty to teach her. My role to be by her side. I was her right-hand man to the throne she was about to sit upon, and those six men would contribute to her uprising in a world that wished to see her fall.

It was my turn to take up the stance my father had with my mother, and that started with accepting the truth of my emotions.

Accepting that I love Willow Alundra Phoenix.

"I love you, Willow," I managed to whisper to her very soul, seconds before I laid my lips against hers.

Our unity caused a chain reaction, and like an explosive blast into this realm between life and death, we returned to the land of life.

To the land that would witness the light hidden within our curtained darkness.

~WILLOW~

I gasped for air after it felt like I'd been kissing a dark angel for eons, my lips still sizzling, my wild eyes wide. It took me a moment to realize three important things: I'd just been talking to Viktor's mother before I was summoned by a being of darkness who kissed me, I was somehow alive when I was positive my apparent tea party had been in the field of the In-Between, and it was crystal clear that Viktor and Loki were looking down at me like I'd mutated into a fish or something preposterous.

Oh, Mother Moon, I'm fucking alive!

I sat up far too swiftly, a foolish move they always tell you not to do, but I didn't fucking care as my
