Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 198

Chapter 66

Kas's POV

As I walk back down to the meditation room, I feel a little storm cloud brewing in my mind. I feel justified in my anger. While I need time to process all this new information, it sounds like I have only heard a fraction of what there is to know. I know I need to keep a cool head and hear everyone out. Flying off the handle isn't helping anyone. We've lost almost an hour to help Ashley because I had a stupid tantrum.

I open the door to the meditation room and hold my fist up in the air, unfurling my fingers. The women all take deep breaths and look around with relief. 1

"Lady Camille, Delilah, may I have a few minutes with my sister? I know you're trying to help, but this does not involve you," I stand with my hip cocked and arms crossed in the meditation room doorway. I watch the witches look at each other and nod before standing up.

Lady Camille bows to me silently before she walks out of the room. I feel a pang of guilt watching my mentor walk away from me without a word.

Delilah stops in front of me before she leaves, "Kas, please know that we love you. We would never advise you to do something we thought would hurt anyone. Especially anyone who is a part of Blood River. And I would never ever let anyone do anything to hurt you. You know that, right?"

A tear spills out of her deep indigo blue eyes. I wipe it away for her and give her a hug without saying another word. When she lets go, she kisses my cheeks and exits the room, closing the door behind her.

"Are you calm now, Kas?" Amari gives me a compassionate smile.

"No, but I have a friend who is very sick and the people who love me are telling me you are a necessary component in healing her. So, for now, I am calm on the outside, but inside, that's a different story. I won’t let my emotions cloud my judgement regarding helping a woman I consider my actual family," I emphasize the word actual when I respond.

I let my words cut her for a moment before I continue, "It takes about five minutes to walk up to the hospital wing. You have that long to tell me what it is we need to do to help Ashley. Because of my outburst, we have lost precious time. I take responsibility for that, but now I need to do everything I can to fix it."

"Spoken like a true Luna," Amari smiles. She stands up and follows me out the door.

Bronx and Reggie look at US tentatively as we pass the weight room, but they don't follow. When we climb the staircase, I notice one guard follows us. The others stay at the bottom of the stairs.

I stop halfway up the staircase, "Excuse me, Arnie? Why are you following us inside the packhouse? We are only going to the hospital wing, not out to the grounds."
