Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Bronx’s POV

I watch Kas go into the bedroom, but I don’t stop her. I understand she's upset. She needs time by herself to think before I go in and try to talk to her about the situation. I can’t tell if they upset her about the rumor she could be pregnant or about my reaction to Dionysus putting his filthy hands on her. Thinking about it again gets Saint worked up.

“It’s not too late to go find him and tear his throat out,” Saint snarls.

“Saint, knock it off. We're in hot water as itis,” I argue with him.

“You're just gonna let him get away with that?” he continues to rage.

“Tell you what, Saint. You tell me what the fuck you were talking to Kas about last night and I'll go after Dionysus.”

“Forget it, dummy. I already told you, that's between me and our mate,” he growls, conceding and making his way to the corner of my mind to sulk.

A new message notification pings from my cell phone.

Ashley: PR team will call in an hour. Be ready. Is Kas really pregnant?

Bronx: fine ty and no she isnt pregnant I put the phone back in my pocket and continue to pace. I stop when I hear a crashing sound coming from the bathroom.

“Kas?” I call out. I feel my heart pounding harder when I don’t hear her yell back to me. I run into the bedroom and break open the locked door of the bathroom.

I ask as patiently as I can. It's great that Lex is having a good time, but I really need Kas back. I sit on the floor and lean back on my hands, watching Lex roll on the bed, having a grand old time. When she realizes I’m watching her, she stops and climbs off the bed. She licks the side
