Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Bronx’s POV

Once we get home, we settle back into our regular routines. Most notably, training. In addition to the private defense lessons she still takes with James and Marco, Kas starts joining training sessions with the pack Walriors in the mornings too. She's a firecracker. We quickly find she is too strong to fight with the female warriors. They're not even a challenge for her after a couple of months. She and Lex are getting stronger by the day. Once we put her in the ring with the male walriors, she’s vicious. Don’t get me wrong. It is hard to watch all those guys put their hands on my mate. It is even more difficult not to step in the ring and attack someone when she takes a hard hit or kick. I do my best to hold myself back. Kas can take down most warriors twice her weight, except for some of the most elite who have been fighting for years. But it is evident even some of them are doomed, it's only a matter of time as she learns more techniques. I told her I'm only willing to fight her once she can beat Milo, so that seems to be her goal.

The day finally comes when she gets to face Reggie. He looks terrified. How the Hell is he supposed to try to beat upa woman who is not only his Luna but also basically his little sister.

"Bronx, don’t make me do this, man," he calls from the center of the ring. The walriors around the ring giggle and boo at him.

"Do you submit to Kas, Reggie? Cause if you do, Milo’s up!" I call back to him with a smirk.

He looks at Kas who is already in a defensive stance, "Come on Reggie, don't be a weenie,” she taunts with an adorable little growl.

Laughs and jeers come from around the ring. Reggie just drops his shoulders and looks at her helplessly.

"I'm sorry. You guys can call me what you want but I can't do that to Kas. I submit," Reggie says with his hands in the air.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see James and Marco give each other a high five. They should be proud. They have done a great job training her.
