Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 182

Chapter 50

"So you think Tessa and Katherine are Manae?" Milo looks at the pictures of Tessa. Simply not believing what he is seeing.

"Well, we know that Cornell took Katherine's name when they got married. It was all over the news when we were younger. Don't you remember?"

"Oh yeah. I remember thinking he must have come from a weak pack since he joined hers instead of her going to his." 1

"Yeah, so we know they are sisters and now we have photos of one of them looking the same age for over a hundred years. We know she isn't a vampire. Do you have a better explanation?"

"Aliens?" 1

"Milo, we don't have time for humor," I stop pacing and rub my hands over my face before putting my hands on my hips, "We need to be downstairs in fifteen minutes."

"Okay, one problem at a time," Reggie says calmly, trying to defuse the situation, "I will have extra guards, and an omega put in the hallway where this Persephone woman's suite is. If she leaves the room, the omega will be there to escort. We can say the guards are only there to make sure no one from the pack bothers her."

"I like it. Good," I nod.

"Assuming they have powers like Kas, do you think they would use them against US in our own conference room? What if this is an actual business meeting?" Milo asks, shrugging his shoulders. 1

'Well, Carly did say they have actually purchased a parcel of land near the state border and have applied for construction permits, so something is definitely happening," I lean on the table, drumming my fingers.

"So maybe we play it like we don't know they are special. Just force them into a corner by dangling Tessa in front of them. If they have powers and they use them against US, what could we really do, anyway? We know Kas has powers, but we could never stop her from using them. She operates on the honor system," Reggie chimes in once he finishes mind linking the staff who need to be placed in the hallway.
