Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,97

his phone shone against the black fabric of his borrowed sweatpants.

Since Willow had decided to happily send him into the lake, it’d ruined whatever clothes he'd reserved for his shift back. There was something about water that ruined the spell that helped us shift back with clothes, and that error was what had fucked Viktor’s chosen wardrobe, but we were able to snag him some sweats and a black t-shirt.

Pulling out the device, he stared at the screen and frowned.

"Have to take it?"

"Sadly."

"But not here?" I suggested, noticing his conflict.

"I’d rather do it completely privately. The walls can have ears," he tossed out, which told me he was trusting that any information bouncing against these hollow walls could potentially reach any of the guards that were around the mansion or outside guarding for the night.

"I'll check on Willow. I won't go anywhere until you get back."

He stared at me for a long moment. The phone stopped its buzzing, only to light up again and begin to vibrate.

"Fine," he replied. "I'll be back."

He spun around and began to walk down the hall. His next step had him vanishing through a portal that left me staring out at the spinning silver vortex that disappeared seconds later.

"I wonder how powerful of a warlock he is," my wolf quietly wondered. "That mere spike feels enough for him to be a part of the Coven. I’m intrigued to know why he isn't."

They don't like hybrids, remember? I'm sure they only accepted Aurelia because she's a Clementine.

"They don't accept hybrids and yet one of her parents has to be a wolf shifter for her to be half-wolf half-witch."

It's probably the father who's the wolf and the mother who's a witch. Mother in the Coven after generations of their family line being a part of the Coven would mean more. There's probably some sort of tradition they need to fulfill, though I'm intrigued by the role she's going to play in all of this.

"Still thinking about what that commander stated?"

He fed us a bunch of information we've yet to confirm or inquire about. It's definitely going to lead us to some steep stepping stones, but if we crack down on what they're trying to accomplish, we have hope in protecting Willow.

"I feel like Viktor holds powerful connections thanks to his magic," my wolf voiced. "Could be used to our advantage if we struggle to figure out what the Coven wants with Willow."

He had a point, and I wondered if Viktor carried other connections aside from his loyalty to Willow and once Roberto.

Opening the door slowly, I slipped through the crack of the door to enter the dark room. Closing it lightly behind me, I focused on the bed that cradled Willow.

The first sight left me in a state of tranquility as she continued to sleep in the large king-size bed. She was lightly covered in a thin sheet of silk, her body lying on her right side with her back facing the windows, which left me getting the full view of her immaculate face.

She actually looked at peace, which only brought a sense of calm. Our pack run didn't really go as planned, but I wouldn't deny how utterly majestic Willow looked in her wolf form.

So free, so full of light, and her body glowed with magic. I wondered whether she was unconscious through the entire thing or got a glimpse of the world we saw through the eyes of our wolves. Regardless, we all saw how grateful she was.

The happiness was reflected in her eyes when she united with Neo's and Onyx's wolves - the three of them having a playful moment before she somehow found us. I expected her to follow Dimitris's orders once she’d shifted, but she completely ignored them, racing through the land like she owned the very soil.

I felt as though she didn't mean to ignore us, and the others agreed that it had to be her energy that was so high in her wolf form that was interfering with our pack communication. It happened in hybrid wolves, especially when they carried intense magic, which only left me more curious because Willow wasn't a born witch like Aurelia.

At least that's what we could assume.

What hit all of us was when she somehow found the high cliffs and reached the very top to look at the moon. All of us had caught up to her when she suddenly shifted back - her energy depleted after running so swiftly and from such a far
