Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future Book 2: Chapter 81
As I calm down, I feel the women back away, still staying close by. I turn slightly in Cora's arms to see what is happening. The beautiful blonde hair woman is standing the closest, beaming at me. On the surface, the gesture seems genuine but everything else about her screams of false presences. "Hello Iokaste, I'm Katherine, your oldest sister, and Luna of the Manae. It's a pleasure to meet you again," she says to me. All I can think of is how odd of a way to introduce yourself to someone. I look at her carefully. She smiles slightly and reaches out to brush my bangs out of my face. It is meant to be a caring movement, but instinctively I feel myself flinch. She seems to ignore my tiny movement, but I can see a minute change in her eyes as she notices. I don’t know what to make of it. It almost feels like she was pleased to see me react that way, but she doesn’t want to let it show. "Please, call me Kas and it's nice to meet you too," I pull myself from Cora's arms and collect my

I watch as Katherine’s tongue slides across her front teeth with her mouth closed, considering how to answer. She never takes her eyes off of me, trying to gauge my temperament. The women sitting behind her whisper quietly to each other, looking nervous. “It was a mistake,” she finally clears her throat and says very matter-of-factly, “We have a lamp called the harbinger lamp. Mother lights it when there is an imbalance among the Manae that needs to be rectified. She lit the lamp purple, which means we needed to summon you to help with a problem with the Dark. I left this responsibility to Amari and Tessa. Tessa took things in her own hands and, based on past experience, took a forceful route instead of a peaceful one.” I watch as Amari looks at her hands, avoiding eye contact with me. “Cora, how were you involved?” I look at her confused, “You were in that room with Tessa.” “I was summoned as well. To help with you, Kas,” Cora looks at me as if she is asking for forgiveness. I ca

My fangs and claws extend and my eyes turn black as Lex yanks me back and pushes forward, taking control of my body. I struggle to pull her back, but she is too strong. I can’t stop her as she lunges forward and grabs Tessa by her neck. A vision comes to my mind as my skin contacts hers. We are on a battlefield. Tessa’s eyes are an endless black abyss as she swings a mace at my head, but I duck and avoid it, except for a small graze across my forehead from one of the spikes. The momentum turns her body and I catch her gripping her back against my chest. I watch myself slit Tessa’s throat, letting her body fall at my feet. Her expressionless green eyes stare up at me. The vision fades and another comes forward. She and I struggling against each other in a bell tower. She stabs a long silver blade into the side of my abdomen and stands back with a disgusting smile. Her wolf’s black eyes again at the surface. The pain is excruciating, making me drop to my knees. She chuckles dryly and w

Marco’s POV “Luna, you aren’t supposed to be back for an hour. Is everything alright?” Ashley runs up to us as we get back to the packhouse. Her blue eyes get wide when she gets close and she skids to a stop, holding her hands up, “Whoa! That’s a whole lot of angry coming off of you, Kas.” Kas seems like she ignores her but starts speaking to her anyway. She’s been so stressed out since we left the botanical gardens that she hasn’t been able to really control her emotions like she usually does. It’s a little crushing. I don’t know how she holds it all in all the time. “Ashley, can you please arrange for a couple of guards to escort my sisters for a run before dinner? Except for Katherine, Amari, Cora, and Tessa. Send them to my office when they get here. I have more to discuss with them,” Kas asks Gamma Ashley, “Oh also, could you please see if Musu and James are available. I’d like them to be part of this meeting. Sorry to load this on you, but I need help since Carly is off for th

From the time Tyree knocks on the door, to the time her sisters walk in, it feels like all that negative energy that was filling the room gets sucked back out. I look over and see Kas looking back to her normal self. Did she just pull all that bad energy back into herself? Katherine is gripping Tessa tightly by the upper arm. She leads her to a chair and sets her down. Tessa’s eyes are puffy and watery and her nose is red. I’m not sure she knows what's going on around her. It’s kinda sad. She lost her mate, got called out for knowing he’s a pervert, had a blowout with her sister, and her wolf is a little loco. A crazy wolf never ends well for the human side. I almost feel bad for her. Almost. Once everyone’s sitting, Kas stands at the head of the table. “Thank you for meeting us here,” she says to her sisters. Even those few words, she sounds more like herself than she has all day, “I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. I let Elexis get the best of me and it won’t happen agai

Bronx’s POV When I get back to pack house, there is a distinct negative energy in the air that feels like Kas. If I didn’t know better, it's almost like she lost her temper or something and it seems to influence everyone. Even Ashley seems grumpy. “Ashley, is Kas back? Have you seen her?” I ask when I see her walk by. “She’s in her office. Why?” Ashley snaps at me. Okay. That's weird. Ashley has never once in the twenty-five years I've known her, come close to raising her voice at me. Even when my mental health was at its worst and I almost killed Reggie. She was nothing but forgiving and worried about me. Maybe it's pregnancy hormones? “Ashley, watch yourself,” I step in front of her, blocking her path, “What’s gotten into you?” She looks at me like she is just realizing I’m there. Her face turns bright red with embarrassment, “Oh Alpha, I’m so sorry. What was I thinking? I didn’t mean-,” “It’s all right, Ashley. Where’s Kas?” I ask again. “In her office with the rest of her t

“I’ll see if there’s any residue on the wall and ask Delilah if she can identify it,” James says after we’ve watched the video three times. I still can't believe it. A shadowy outline of a person came out of the wall. A glass materialized in its hands and handed it to Kas. She didn’t even look to see who it was. She just took the glass and kept on talking. No one around her reacted until I saw Marco look at her questioningly. Sure, the mood of the meeting was strained, but whatever she was drinking intensified the anger coming from her a hundred times over and spilled out into the rest of the pack. “Yeah, and what would have made the cup keep changing form?” Marco points to the screen. The glass vibrates from a regular juice glass to a heavy-bottomed hand blown glass. Every time she picks it up, the cup vibrates, changes shape, and the color of the contents changes. When I walk into the room, it just keeps changing in her hands when no one is focusing on it. The more she drinks out

Kas’s POV I watch Bronx for a minute as he looks at himself in disbelief in the mirror. Then I quietly slip away to give him time to himself so he can process his new appearance. I sit on the upholstered bench in our closet room and take a few deep breaths. In the moment, creating a new eye for Bronx seemed like nothing. Our connection was stronger than ever and it helped me make his healing come to fruition, but now I feel completely spent, like the tank is empty. I can’t let him know how much it drained me or he may want me to stay in the apartment instead of going downstairs for dinner. I take a deep breath and look around at my clothing options. Lex tries to convince me to wear a low cut dress. She always wants me to wear a low cut dress. Much to her disappointment, I decide on a dark gray sweater dress and black leggings with ballet flats. Bronx comes into the closet when I’m sitting on the bench to put my shoes on. I smile at the way his confidence seems to have skyrocketed i
