from now on," I whispered, recalling these words from long ago – when I broke down to cry at being able to change into a male for the first time.

We shared our moment, and after a minute, we were ready to face the music.

"The moment you get in the car, switch to William," he reminded. "I won't be taking the highway this time, and if you feel uncomfortable at all, let me know. We have the Lambo on standby if we need to switch."

"Okay," I responded and let go of my magic that held the door closed.

We took a deep breath as if preparing for the ultimate fight.

"I forgive you, Willow," Viktor quietly stated, and began walking to the parked car, as if knowing I'd be frozen in my place at his words.

With another deep inhale, I let go of any remaining worries.

All those in my life that I deeply cherished forgave my foolish mistake. Maybe to some, it was a laughable desire to need forgiveness from those you purposely hurt with your own actions, but to me, it was what I needed to truly let go and forgive myself for my blind-sightedness.

Death had delivered rebirth, and with this new opportunity of life, I wouldn't let anyone fuck it up.

Destroy my reputation. Ruin my financial opportunities. But endanger my men, and you'll enjoy the sweet fury of my wrath.

No One Messes With The De Lucas

~WILLIAM~

"We're fifteen minutes to noon, and this morning has been a devasting one for the world of finance and fame! Investigations are still underway to confirm the deaths of Roberto De Luca and his only son, William De Luca. A robbery attempt was made in the wee hours of the morning today here on Wall Street, and though there is no damage to the property, it was confirmed that Roberto De Luca perished in the crossfire. A few arrests have been made and those who attempted to steal have been shot down. This incident happened mere hours after William's attempted suicide, which was successful. Multiple suicide notes were found in his penthouse, though divers are working overtime to retrieve his body that is said to have dropped into one of the private property lagoons. These circumstances are unraveling while a huge business deal in the financial world will commence after noon right in front of the grand office structure that was, many say, Roberto's legacy. We have multiple sources stating that a woman by the name of Willow De Luca has come forward not only to place an offer for this mega-deal but to proclaim her right to Roberto De Luca's empire as a hidden daughter! This news is as shocking as ever, leaving the property filled with mourning fans, intrigued paparazzi, and news outlets hopeful of finding out the ultimate truth. We will shortly be live on the scene and will broadcast the entire footage here on NYC News 94."

I turned the channel off, having heard more than enough as Viktor turned onto the private street that would get us right before the stairs of the office. He at least took into consideration the gridlock traffic going on with the official news of my apparent suicide and Papa Dearest's death.

The ride had already taken twenty minutes, giving me the chance to get a glimpse of what was being said from multiple outlets and resources.

Some people were already coming out with news articles and even joining the morning news to talk shit about Roberto. Some were saying what a douche he was, that the control freak deserved to die with his legacy he was so desperate to savor.

Those poor individuals were bold fuckers, thinking they would be going home after their interviews. I knew why Onyx was currently "busy" – he was doing the ultimate deed of creating the perfect freak accidents to get rid of those imposters and disloyal bastards.

Obviously, Roberto was in hiding, but I didn't see the need of keeping such individuals alive a day longer. If their loyalty could bend at the first person to announce Roberto's death, then they weren't worthy of living after borrowing so much from Roberto or having the audacity to live in the Pack House under his care.

Some of the wolf shifters who were showing their true colors were probably the stupidest of them all. Viktor was already telling me a bit of what was going on in the Pack House, how some were celebrating the news as if they felt their Alpha's death.

Despite Roberto giving off
