Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 165

Chapter 33

Marco’s POV

I look around the room and watch everyone’s jaws drop except for the Alpha’s. He’s squatting in front of Kas, but as soon as Musu announces that this woman Tessa is related to the Santoro family, his head whips around and a look crosses his face that I ain’t seen since I was eighteen and he was nineteen we served in the military together. I feel my head shaking back and forth and I hear myself whisper no. He can’t seriously be thinking what I think he’s thinking right now.

Beta Milo and Gamma Reggie jump up out of their seats.

“Absolutely NOT, Bronx! Get that look off your face, ” Milo growls, pointing at him sharply, “Just fucking forget it, right now.”

“Bronx, No. Not an option. No. Stop it. Don’t even think about it,” Reggie yells at the same time.

The women around the room look at us, confused by our reactions.

Bronx stands up. He looks taller and more intimidating than I ever seen him be before. For a hot second, I'm pretty sure he is glowing purple like Kas does, but that only happens when he is touching her. He ain’t touching her right now. His Beta and Gamma don’t look like they’re gonna back down, but he already got it set in his mind.

“Bronx, we are not doing this. We are not taking a prisoner and starting a war with the Golden Mountain pack,” Reggie snarls, holding his ground against our Alpha, “My team just left their territory. They are not a normal pack. I haven’t given you a report

on what we found yet. There are things going on there that differ significantly from anything we have ever faced before. We have too much to lose. I won’t let you do this to us. To any of us.” i

I stand up too, putting my hand on top of Musu’s. If he banishes me, I won’t care. I won’t be involved in another war. I’m not a dumb kid willing to risk my life for a thrill anymore. Musu and I can request asylum with her old pack if it comes down to it, “ Alpha, don’t do this. The Gamma’s right, we got too much to lose. I -I won’t support you this time. I can’t. I used to be a warrior first, but I got a family now. I’m gonna be a father. My mate and our baby. That’s my priority now. Their safety comes first for me. I’m begging you. Please don’t do this to Blood River.” i

“War?” Kas asks in disbelief as she stands up real slow. She's glowing real bright purple. Even her eyes are starting to glow now. That almost never happens. We can all feel her getting mad. It is such a strong feeling rolling off of her. Enough that it even makes me kinda nervous. I look around and see everyone else feels uncomfortable, too. I quietly pull Musu’s seat back and put myself between her and Kas. Just in case.

“Bronx. No,” the voice that comes out of Kas ain’t her voice. It’s even more extreme than Lex’s voice. The tone booms like an ethereal being speaking through our tiny Luna. The room shakes as the sound reverberates off the walls. I can feel my heart pound in my chest. I can’t help but bow my head to her, even though she wasn’t talking to me. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Musu do the same. 2

When I look back up, I see Milo and Reggie both lifting their heads back up and taking a step back. There’s a little fear in their eyes as they adjust their positions and stand in front of their mates, too.
