The others seem to be stuck too. I need you guys to check the news for me.
“On it,”Viktor assured us.
“Why is the magic grid interfering with our pack communication?”Milo questioned.
“I’m not sure,”Onyx admitted.“It shouldn’t. The only way it should affect us is if our Alpha is a magic-user.”
“Dimitris doesn’t have magic that entwines with anything Coven-related,”Nico voiced.
That meant there was only one culprit.
“Willow,”we all seemed to say in unison. But it still didn’t make sense.
How would the Coven suspect that though? I mean, Willow isn’t our Alpha yet. That’s obvious. Why would they take the risk of putting up a magic grid just on the suspicion that we wouldn’t be able to communicate within our pack?
“Same reason why they waited for us to be split up,”Nico grumbled.
“They know Willow and I have officially claimed the chair, meaning our magic connection is extremely strong. Willow will have an abundance of flowing magic for a few weeks. It’s a side effect of the ritual,”Viktor explained.
“They clearly know that,”Onyx hissed.“They know Willow is connected to all of us in a way. The only one who probably wouldn’t be as affected is Loki because he’s not in the pack bond yet.”
But I bet they assumed we wouldn’t leave Loki alone because he’s not in the pack bond because of the risk of the Vile Queen potentially stealing him back.
“There’s an investigation on the bridge,”Viktor revealed.“Listen carefully.”
I purposely heightened my concentration as I zeroed in to hear what was being said on their end.
“This is NEWS 94 with an emergency update on the situation happening at Brooklyn Bridge! As many of you know from weeks past, Brooklyn Bridge has become a big problem in our city with the highest traffic jams and accidents! This morning, however, there seem to be reports of a potential kidnapping in the works! Less than thirty minutes ago, a Korean food cart owner by the name of Mr. Park noticed suspicious activity at one of the children's organizations run by the CEO of Forbidden Enterprise, Willow De Luca! Due to the recent fame and immense generosity, we’re not surprised that security across all establishments that are supported and owned by the De Lucas and her fellow CEOs have been increased due to targeted attacks and hacking breaches which had all been unsuccessful before this point of time! However, this morning, an internal breach occurred when a higher ranked employee seems to have authorized the release of a child! Police are not only on the scene as we speak but have released footage of the child being taken by what looks like to be a teenager and two adults! They entered a common black Toyota Corolla and are attempting to take an alternate route of escape. Due to the gridlock traffic on the bridge, the Governor called for an official lockdown up to 100 metres from the bridge! This isn’t the first time the Governor has used his power to lock down parts of the city. It was previously used the night of the explosion which was also attempting to target Miss De Luca and her colleagues when they were attempting to meet up to discuss charitable and business efforts for the city. It is becoming clearer each day that the goodness that these big CEOs are trying to deliver to the city is being combated with violence from gangs and other cults who are desperate to destroy any initiative that can help the poor, needy, and underprivileged,”the reporter elaborated.“Police and FBI have officially blocked off a good part of the bridge and are searching each car for any child under four. The child is described to be either black or biracial and may be a potential relative to one of the business owners of the Top Ten Organizations that were chosen to collaborate with Forbidden Enterprise. That’s all the information we’ve gathered thus far, and more will be coming the moment we receive it. If you see anything suspicious, please contact 911.”
The Korean food truck worker…
“The one Saint met near the Suicide Forest,”Viktor reminded us.
The right place at the right time.
“How are we going to get down there? If the police are searching the cars, they may get a chance at getting Malika out of those kidnappers’ clutches,”Onyx stressed.“I’m not going to trust them to do their jobs for once, but I don’t have the ability to teleport all of us to Brooklyn Bridge.”
“You wouldn’t be able to,”Nico pressed.“The magic grid would block you out. We need a different way. Plus, we’re dealing with fucking witches. I can guarantee that the only reason this got reported was thanks to Mr. Park. No one else would have noticed.”
But it’s broad fucking daylight. What agenda do they fucking have?
“Her royalty was just confirmed,”Milo stressed.“She’s an asset. They’re going to use her to bargain.”
Bargain? What the fuck are they bargaining for?
It just didn’t make sense to me, but clearly Viktor clicked onto it because he began cursing in Russian.
“What, Viktor?!”Onyx pressed.
“Immunity! They want fucking immunity.”
I wasn’t understanding where this was going.
“Immunity?”Even Nico wasn’t following, but Milo decided to elaborate.
“They want to blackmail the fae to give the Coven immunity,”Milo revealed.“In exchange for Malika. Immunity would ensure we can’t do shit to them, and if war is inevitable, the fae will have to support them by default.”
Oh fucking shit.
