Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,258

one more peck of his lips, he added, "And don't call me that."

I smirked and looked back to where those mutant wolves were suddenly shaking and lowering to the ground as if they were frightened of what was approaching.

When the figure finally revealed themselves, I merely pouted in pure disappointment.

"Oh, c'mon," I began and actually managed to move away from Viktor just to put my hands upon my hips. "Out of all the fucking bad guys we could have gotten in this grand fucking moment, you show up."

Loki actually looked over to give me an 'are you crazy' look while Viktor sighed.

"You really have to work on that, Willow."

"Work on what?" I questioned and gestured right up to the hill. "Out of all the fucking villains, we get fucking 'Can't Play Dead' Garfield?!"

Loki actually snickered and looked back to Garfield. "I'm going to assume you're here to try and prove to the Royal Bitch that you're not worth disposing of."

Garfield snarled at Loki's reply as he pointed to him.

"How dare you betray our queen!" he snapped.

Loki actually lifted his arms to emphasize his shrug and pointed over to me. "Oh, I didn't do shit. I was simply throwing the body away like Felicia told me to, and somehow she woke up from the dead and decided to rip my collar off," Loki revealed. "The fucking collar that forced me to be controlled by that fucked-up bitch for ten fucking years after I was this close to finding my brother!"

Oh shit.

"Willow? What's going on there?"

Oh. Can’t Play Dead Garfield is here on behalf of the Vile Queen and is all upset that Loki is free from his collar after being trapped in the queen's clutches for ten years.

"Who the fuck is Loki?" Onyx snapped.

Right. He's the guy who was supposed to kill me because Felicia ordered him to drop my body on this mountain. But instead, I woke up naked in his company before he helped my ass out of that mess when we were being chased by mutant wolf shifters.

The silence in the pack bond was deafening so I figured spicing it up would maybe get their asses here faster.

Oh, and he's your brother.

The ground shook harder now, enough to make me lose my balance entirely. Viktor caught me, while Garfield was laughing like a fucking lunatic.

"Let's see if you can survive this," he declared as his eyes narrowed onto Loki. "No one escapes the queen, Loki. If you think that bitch is your escape route, think again!"

"Ah," Loki replied as he cracked his neck and practically sighed in relief. "I haven't been able to do that in years."

He moved back until he was standing right in front of us, his back facing us while he was still looking up at Garfield.

"Sorry to inform you, but she is," he declared with confidence and lifted his left hand up as if he were trying to show something off.

"What?! Impossible!" Garfield snapped.

I was clearly clueless, as was Viktor, until Loki moved his hand to the side so we could see the back of it. The clear bonding mark that resembled Onyx's was displayed on his hand.

"W-What?!" I literally gasped and looked at Viktor. "T-That isn't possible. I didn't initiate a bond mark like Willa did to Saint!"

"You did," Viktor muttered, and for a brief moment, his eyes went prism-like, like his magic was filtering through those silver spheres. "I warned you, remember? You took something of his in exchange for releasing the collar. By doing so, you initiated a fated bond, and because you're both wolf shifters, it only made sense for it to be exactly that. This confirms Onyx is of royal roots."

"One more message for the queen, Garfield," Loki announced, drawing our attention once more as the ground began to shake a third time. "The Yin and Yang Shadow Heirs will never bow down to her. Just because we've been lost, that doesn't mean we won't find our roots. When we do, she'll be on her knees begging for our mercy. I swear on our parents’ graves."

With those words, he shifted with the crack of his bones, and before we could further react, he was tugging me out of Viktor’s hold and throwing me on his back.

I landed with an oomph, and Viktor landed more gracefully on his back before Loki was darting away.

"Wait! We're fucking running?" I screamed and looked back, only to curse. "SHIT! AVALANCHE!"

"Get off the mountain!" Viktor ordered through the pack bond. "Avalanche!"

Loki was running at
