Chapter 36

 

Once I’m ready, Delilah lets me know the doctor stopped by and said I could go see Bronx.

As we walk down the hall, I take a deep breath and steady myself for whatever his reaction is going to be to seeing me. She gives my hand a squeeze when we get to the door of his room.

“We will be here waiting,” she murmurs in my ear.

I smile and nod as Tyree opens the door to let me in.

Bronx is sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs hanging off the side. He is holding an ice pack up to the side of his face. I don’t know why he is holding it on that side because the side he isn’t covering looks pretty swollen too. His nose was broken but someone reset it so it could heal faster. His eye is swollen, so he’s barely able to open it halfway. Since he doesn’t have an eye on the other side, I assume he can’t see much of anything.

They must have taken his shirt off for the exam. He is covered in scrapes, cuts, and bruises that Saint is still healing. There are also burn marks covering his wrists and arms.

I thought that maybe when I saw him, that would be when I would feel some remorse, but I don’t. I still feel justified in my actions.

“Come here, Kas,” he holds his hand out to me.

“A-are you mad?” I ask tentatively.

“Not anymore. Please, come here,” he waves his hand, bidding me to come to him.

I step forward and place my hand in his. I feel our comforting sparks as he pulls me toward him until I am leaning against his chest. He takes his arm and wraps it around me, then puts down the ice pack so he can wrap the other one around me, too.

“B-Bronx, I’m going to tell you the same thing I told Marco and James,” I sigh as I hug him back, “I’m not sorry. I would do this again if it meant I would stop you from committing crimes and preventing a war. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“I know and I’m proud of you for standing up to me,” he rubs my back slowly and purrs as he speaks in my ear, “You were amazing. I understand now why Saint says I was made for you. No one else could have survived...well...whatever came over you. 1 don’t know that you could have ever gotten that mad at anyone else.” 2

“So, you’re really not mad?” I ask, trying to gauge if he is being sincere or if he is about to break my neck.

“I’m really not mad. In fact, I’m impressed you could beat me. It was all kind of a blur between the time you dragged me out of Lenora’s office and getting to the training ring. But once I lunged at you that first time, I knew exactly what I was doing. Tyree showed me the video. You did everything perfectly.”

“I am so confused right now,” I chuckle at him as he pulls me onto his lap and nuzzles my cheek.

“Kas, you know how Lex always says you two are a warrior child of the Moon Goddess?”
