eyes swiftly took in the mountain I'd surely died upon. I couldn't possibly grasp the idea I'd been dead seconds prior, but this new, rejuvenated energy in me could probably help me kill a few people on my enemy list.
Fuck. I could go on a killing spree! Wee!
"You better fucking not!"
I flinched at Dimitris's snapping voice and I didn't know why, but I giggled like I was fucking mad - okay, I felt high off insanity with a dose of death, but who fucking cared? I was alive!
Awww. Alpha? Are you threatening me? You had to have missed my dead ass ten seconds ago.
"Is this how your woman reacts every time she apparently dies?" I was surprised by Milo's voice within our bond.
Holy shit! Milo?! You joined the pack! What the fuck happened when I died? Did I come back to a new generation? I have to be hallucinating.
"Sugar, you're not hallucinating," Onyx pointed out, sounding far too relieved while I swore he sounded like he'd cried a river of fucking tears.
Holy shit, Onyx Babe. Have you been crying? You want a hug? Fuck, we haven't fucked in forever. Where are you?
"You're not fucking on a mountain, Willow."
I literally flinched at Viktor's voice in my head and darted my gaze to him as if I hadn't realized he was observing me this entire time.
ASALNSASAKSLA.
"Oh fuck. I think Willow just malfunctioned," Saint pointed out.
"Well, she was dead for ten minutes and woke up to two new pack members, one of whom is Viktor, who I presumed would have never joined the pack, to begin with," Jayce explained.
"Sweetness." Neo's voice was literally emotionless. My poor mate was probably still processing shit.
Sorry, Neo. Did I scare you? It wasn't my fault! Well...ya, it was my fault, which reminds me...
"YOU!" I lifted my hand to point at the man and then gawked because holy fucking shit.
Uh...Onyx?
"What, Sugar?"
Was 'finding your brother or someone who looks just like you' on this year's bingo card?
That just confused the shit out of everyone, and even Viktor followed my gaze to Loki.
The covering on his head was completely gone, and what remained was extremely long, silky, black-and-white hair that held a loose curl to its texture. One eye was closed once more like before, but his other eye was clearly onyx with a silver ring that shifted to gold periodically.
"What?" Loki finally answered me while he stared at me with a frown.
"What's your full name?"
"Loki Charm of Shadow Yang pack," he introduced. I gawked at him before I whispered, "You have a brother."
The way he smirked was replicated in Onyx's taunting smile, and I was on the verge of mentally - and maybe physically - freaking the fuck out.
"Yet you didn't figure that shit out back in the cave when you called me by his name," Loki muttered with a shrug.
"Hey! I was naked and bewildered, alright? Plus, you were all masked up like a Japanese assassin! How the fuck would I know?!"
"What is this about you being naked in a cavern with him?" Viktor questioned, and I turned my head to give him a glare because I knew he said it within the pack bond on purpose.
"Are you trying to get me killed again today? Was one death not enough?"
"WHAT?!" multiple voices stated back in the bond, making us both flinch.
You see what you did? Now I'm just fucked.
Loki stared at us before his brows furrowed and he suddenly got up.
"Shit!"
We turned our attention to him, while Onyx spoke. "Willow, what are you talking-"
A loud rumble shook the very earth, and Viktor scooped me right off the ground while Loki began to growl. "The queen's right hand is here."
"Right hand?" I questioned. "Viktor, I can stand."
He didn't seem very sure about that, but he lowered my legs and kept an arm around my waist. I knew something was about to go down here and now, the energy coursing through our surroundings only heightening my senses.
Turning my head to Viktor, I quickly reached up to hook an arm around his neck and pulled him down for a quick but firm kiss on his lips.
He seemed completely shocked by the move, but I pulled back just as fast and muttered, "You always tell me you love me when I'm fucking dead!" I snapped. "So let me hear it just in case we getting fucked over again. And I love you, too, Vikki."
His displeasure was obvious, but he didn't hesitate to kiss me in return and whisper, "I love you, Willow."
