Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Marco's shoulders dropped at Bronx's words but if he had been looking straight ahead, instead of at the floor, he would have seen Bronx’s body language betraying his stern voice.

I clear my throat and try to sound serious, "Marco, first and foremost. You drew a weapon on your Alpha and my mate. Regardless of the circumstances, we expect better of you. When we get back to Blood River, you and Alpha Bronx will have a private conversation about the consequences of that action." Marco's eyes flick toward me and back to the ground with a quick nod, "Yes, Luna."

“Aside from that, we’re so happy you've found your mate. Alpha Bronx and I have discussed the matter with Alpha Martin and have decided on the best way to handle this,” I pause when he looks at me expectantly. His brow is furrowed with worry.

“Marco, Musu’'s parents and her twin brother Beta Everl are waiting for you downstairs in the front sitting room. You are to go ask their permission for their daughter to accompany us back to Blood River. If Musu has her parents’ blessing, she is welcome to come with us back to Blood River. So you better be a real smooth talker, my friend, I hear they are a bit overprotective of their only daughter. And I know for a fact Mama Sanchez would love to see you happy with a mate at home. We leave for the Coven’s realm in one hour,” I say firmly. The look on his face is surprise, disbelief, and excitement all rolled into one, “Oh, and Marco, James gets a break while we are at the coven house. You're back on duty as soon as we leave this castle. Understood?"

Marco looks at me with pleading eyes, " Kas...I-I mean...Luna, please tell me this isn't a trick. Please tell me it's true. Cause she’s the most amazing woman and I'm so scared to lose her."

"Marco, I would never trick you. Now get going, time’s ticking," I smile at him. For a split second, he looks like he is going to hug me, but then thinks better of it when he sees Bronx glaring. "Thank you, Luna, Alpha, thank you so much," he grabs his chest in relief as he backs up and bows to us. When his back hits the door, he opens it and sprints away.

An hour later, we meet at the entrance to the castle. Marco looks like he's on top of the world. Musu is with him smiling ear to ear. She leans in to hug him, her arms not able to make it fully around his chest due to how massive he is. She disappears in his arms before he releases her and gives her a deep kiss. Ah, young love. Ain't it grand.

Lady Camille is so happy to see us but I have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to do it. She gives me instructions t o start with an herbal bath and meditation to cleanse my spirit and mind before she and I get started. She then pulls Delilah and James away to catch up on things.

It is between them and the Gods and Goddesses. ° “Moreover, maybe some have had the same thought and they are looking for you as well. That does not mean their intentions are good. You need to consider that some of your sisters have accepted darkness in their souls,” she says in a very serious tone, "If you choose this path, please use caution.
