I expected Dimitris to put up a fuss because this was risky. It took us years before we could have a say on who we recruited, but Willow went above and beyond with such a sleek execution that I was sure Dimitris was speechless.
She certainly surprised me.
"Fine,"he shockingly stated."Jayce, head over there. I'm sure we don't need an alibi, now do we, Willow?"
"Got that covered, Alpha."She sounded gleeful through the pack bond, and I could feel how fucking happy she was in this moment.
It was like she was being acknowledged for her skill set for the first time, and frankly, I was loving seeing the thrill in those gorgeous orbs.
The sudden cry of agony cut through our mental conversation, and our gazes darted over to see Milo gritting his teeth. His eyes were closed shut, while Officer Ronald was screaming in anguish.
"You fucker!" he snapped, and if it wasn't for the fact their chairs were magically held in place, he'd be on the floor with how he was rocking back in forth in clear misery.
My impressed expression was just like Willow's. Her pleased smirk formed on her lips as we both caught onto the sudden spike of magic that pierced through the air.
Fae magic.
It took me this while to realize I'd turned on my sight long ago, but I purposely turned it off as I closed my eyes and admired the pure beauty of the golden streams of magic that were oozing out and upward to the ceiling, spreading with immense velocity.
That was what differentiated fae magic from any other elemental magic: its intense power, the golden hues, and the destructive force it carried if the user held ill intentions.
It was another reason they were sought out.
The final cry of pain came from Officer Ronald. The force was enough to knock him out while his body shook with convulsions. My attention followed Willow as she slipped from my hold to walk back to Milo.
The other two were clearly speechless that Milo had the guts to do what he did, and it only proved how foolish they had been to treat him like a waste of space. They were about to enjoy a slow death from my hands, but maybe with Milo in the picture, I could further enjoy the process while giving him a taste of revenge.
Willow pulled the chair back, spun it around once more, and sat down. Crossing one leg over the other, she leaned into the back of the chair and watched Milo as he gasped and shook. I wouldn't wish this on anyone - the pain of escaping the bond of an Alpha was, in some cases, lethal.
Onyx had survived doing it twice out of pure determination and love for Willow, or else he surely would have lost his fucking mind by now and become a feral wolf.
Willow waited patiently for Milo to catch his breath, and when he did, he lifted his head so his eyes of golden red met her proud ones. His skin was darker now, a perfect shade of chocolate, and yet it glimmered with a golden coat of magic that licked off his flesh. Willow didn't just find a speck of a diamond; she found a gold mine that was about to turn the tables for us.
I fucking love this woman.
"Can...you show your cards...now?" He breathed heavily as sweat fell from the sides of his drenched face while his lips trembled, like the rest of his body.
"Certainly," she replied. "Just let me do one thing," she declared, her phone in her grasp. She made a phone call and I knew from the quick pick-up that she was calling Viktor.
"Officer Raymond. Twenty-nine." That's all she said before she hung up and twiddled her phone.
"What the fuck did you just do?" The man who Willow shot finally had a big mouth to speak. Willow didn't answer, but instead, she snapped her free fingers, and Officer Ronald began screaming as a jolt of magic seemed to rush through him and wake him up.
He groaned and could barely keep his head up, but his half-open eyes were on Willow, as were Choi’s and the other dude’s.
Willow simply pressed something on her phone, and she turned the screen to them. I couldn't help but move until I was standing a step’s distances from Milo and watching the obvious live broadcast on the screen.
"This is NEWS 94 LIVE and we're here at the scene of the horrific freak accident that killed five officers being transferred from Midtown Precinct South earlier this evening! As you all know, traffic has been intense these last few weeks, especially with the beginning snowfall as we approach Christmas. These officers had accidentally accused well-known global artist, Neo Rodriquez! He was targeted as a potential bomber after the lead officer of the unit accused him of suspiciously viewing the area multiple times and tried to gaslight him among bystanders when Neo remained calm and refused to react to the provoking behavior! If you know Rodriquez, you know that he's a famous blind artist. He is also one of the CEOs of the new Forbidden Enterprise that was officially granted a trillion-dollar business deal to create an abundance of job opportunities and living spaces, opening plenty of doors in various businesses that will bring NYC up as a whole! The situation escalated when Willow De Luca, daughter of Roberto De Luca, who recently stepped down to give his assets to Miss De Luca, arrived on the scene and didn't even hesitate to get in the middle of the potential crossfire!"
The scene of the confrontation began to play on the screen, while the woman continued.
"The men were being transferred over to be placed in a confined jail due to the sudden spike of death threats against the head officer and the entire department! We're still unclear if this freak accident had foul play involved, but the blast caused in the collision has definitely left remains along this cliff!" She paused as if she were listening to something through her earpiece. "This just in! Authorities have discovered a body! Officer Raymond...twenty-nine, is...alive!"
The others couldn't say a word while Milo's eyes slowly moved to Willow. She knew the power she carried and somehow executed it so flawlessly that I was sure the other two bastards regretted their decision to act tough.
"I'm being told that Office Raymond was a brand-new officer in the unit, starting literally this evening, and had been assigned to Officer Ronald for training! Obviously, with such circumstances, the potential confrontation that we're beginning to assume was planned at some point couldn't possibly have been known by a new recruit! As you can see over there, the helicopter is taking the stretcher and is most likely airlifting him to the nearest hospital to treat his wounds! We're unsure if he'll survive, let alone make a full recovery, but we will keep you posted on all the news regarding this incident!"
Willow uncrossed her legs, only to cross them again - her grasp still holding the phone as if there were something left to be said.
