Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 121

Bronx’s POV

 

The portal closed.

 

Kas is gone.

 

She left with them.

 

She chose the Mavri Magea over our pack.

 

I look back at Lenora in my arms. I feel myself rocking back and forth. It isn’t for her comfort. Lenora can never be comforted ever again. I take the hem of my shirt and try to clean the blood away from her face. All it does is smear it down her chin.

 

“Leni. Come back. Don't leave me. Don’t leave us. I need you. So do Milo and Codi and the pack. Please Lenora, come back to us,” my lip trembles, pleading with her. Tears drip down from my chin onto her forehead as she looks blankly at me.I look into her green eyes one last time before I run my hand over and close her eyelids. Now she looks like she’s sleeping. I pull my shirt off and lay it over her, trying to hide the gaping wound on her neck and chest. I can't bear to look at her that way.

 

When the searing pain of our family bond and pack bond breaking at the same time hits me, I pull her closer. I cry out in an Earth-shaking roar at the crumbling feeling in my chest. Pack members how! in the distance as they feel her bond break, too. What am I going to tell them? How can I possibly explain her death? How can I explain what their Luna has done to all of us?

“Bronx! Lenora? Where are you?!” I hear people yelling from the hallway. No. Not people. Milo. I hear Lenora’s mate, my Beta, looking for me. Looking for his mate.

 

Shit.
