full speed again as the rush of snow fought to consume us. Viktor hooked an arm around my waist to steady me as Loki moved at triple the speed than when he was running away from the mutant creatures.
"How are you running so quickly now?" I asked as if Viktor could answer.
"He's using the charge of magic vibrating through you," Viktor replied. "The activated bond is still establishing because you just came back to life."
He must have had a point because I was beginning to feel the connection taking shape, but the adrenaline to survive was pumping magic through my veins.
"Problem!" Saint's voice boomed through our minds.
What?!
"That avalanche is going to wipe out the town here. There was no warning. They can't evacuate."
Where's the town?!
"You're approaching it! We see you!" Jayce stressed, and there was my Forbidden Pack with Aurelia.
Even at the distance, I could see the immense relief in her dazzling aura, but the dread that filled her face only confirmed we were going to be in big shit in a matter of seconds if we didn't figure out how to stop this.
"Loki! Stop just at the group of people there!" I encouraged and looked over my shoulder to Viktor. "Can we stop it with magic?"
He looked at me, our closeness briefly taking his attention to my lips before he answered my question. "You're charged enough, but you're going to feel like shit after."
"Saving a town of innocent people in the middle of the night and feeling like shit after is good enough. Aurelia can fix me up by morning, and maybe we'll even get to go to the Pack House in the morning and kick Felicia's butt!"
"You really don't like breaks, do you?"
"I'll enjoy breaks when I'm dead!" I declared, and he only frowned. "C'mon. It fit perfectly there."
"My mom would have loved you," he muttered, and I couldn't help kisssing him for a second before I whispered, "She did, and said if you try to stop my fierceness, she'll smack you."
Loki swiftly turned as he came to a dramatic top, pulling us out of our brief moment before I was moving right off of the massive wolf - completely forgetting the drop had to be a good eight feet.
"Oh fuck!"
Neo surprisingly caught me, and I grinned at his judgemental frown before I gave him a kiss. "You can be mad at me later," I assured him as he lowered me down. "Aurelia!"
"Bitch, I know you have something up your sleeve, but no way can you stop that shit."
"Why not?" I asked in haste and slipped right out of Neo's hold to grab and pull her forward.
Loki howled long and loud as if to make the sound into a siren to wake the people of the approaching threat. We'd outrun the threat by a solid minute, but no way would anyone be able to escape when the town was surely full of humans.
"There's some weird magic to it! It's made to destroy and won't stop unless it gets blood! Magic can maybe delay it, but even with us together, it won't work!"
"Blood." The simple word had me smiling. "NEO!"
My mate was surprisingly behind me, and from the look on his face, he knew what had to be done. "How much blood?" he asked.
"A lot," Aurelia stressed.
"Not a problem," he replied. "Let's begin."
Aurelia nodded and ran forward as she summoned her wand and began to speak in Latin. I was going to run forward too, but Neo hooked an arm around me and pulled me right back against him.
"Neo?" I hissed, and he forced my head back with a hand around my neck and kissed me all in one smooth movement.
"Frighten me again, Sweetness, and I'll make sure you're never out of my sight again," he literally growled against my lips.
"Aww. If we weren't about to be killed by an avalanche, I'd be so turned on right now."
I could hear Viktor groaning, while Dimitris sighed, Saint laughed, and I could assume Jayce was just shaking his head.
"I can't even be mad," Onyx muttered.
Neo let go of me, and we ran to meet Aurelia.
"Willow! Far right. Neo, in the middle. Conjure enough blood that the snow will look pink!" she ordered and specifically looked at me. "The spell is Le Re Bloodanda. It's the shortened form of the spell and will work fast, but it's draining as fuck, so be prepared to feel like shit!"
"Got it!" I declared and the three of us raised our hands up while I felt
