Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Marco's POV

I'm so proud of my Luna. We've been training her for almost three months and she could, like, seriously be an assassin if she wanted to. She doesn't have a cold heart for that kinda shit though. And no way Alpha Bronx would let her do that kind of work anyway.

Anyway, she’s doing so well now that James and | both get Sundays off as long as she doesn't have to leave the packhouse.

Honestly, even if she did, she can defend herself but ain't no way either of us would let her be put in that position. She does her best to try to stay in on Sundays unless it’s real important. She cares about us like that.

James tags in for his shift around eleven- thirty on Friday night and | head out. My buddies convinced me to go to a strip club that caters to werewolves. I'm not all into that kind of club but there’s only so much COD a guy can take.

The club is loud and smokey. Tyree hooked us up with a VIP booth. Everyone here knows we're Blood River, so they give us a bit of extra space. Three cute girls come over with bottles of liquor. They start pouring shots and pull some of the guys to private rooms.

Tyree and | hang out at the table and catch up on things. Since I've been assigned to the Luna, we haven't been on any security detail together. He works under Beta Milo doing more covert shit. He can only tell me so much about work but he does tell me he found his mate. She lives in another pack and they're working it out so she can move to Blood River.

"That's awesome man!" I clap his shoulder as we both grin.

"Well? What about you? I thought for sure the Latino lover boy would have found his mate by now," He shakes his shoulders at me as he jokes. »°

"I mean, I dated a few girls but nothing serious. I haven't found my true mate yet.

Clash keeps insisting I'll meet her soon but he's been saying it for months now."

“Don’t worry, Marco. You'll find her. The Moon Goddess knows what she’s doing,” he reassures me as a Cute girl with another tray of shots comes over to the table. We party until the club closes and head to our normal all-night dinner for some drunk food before getting a home. All in all, it's a good night.

Coven. James and I accompany her and Delilah gets to see her mom. Alpha Bronx joins us, cause he's going to the Lune D'or pack while we're in the witches’ realm. He says ain't no way he's gonna leave his Luna's side anymore and with as much shit as those two been through, shit, I don't blame him. He's not allowed to come stay in
