Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 26

Bronx’s POV

It took everything I had to not console Kas in front of everyone when Musu announced her pregnancy.I know she is happy for Musu and Marco, but I could also feel her disappointment.

Even though Zeus had told her she may be able to have a baby in the future, nothing is guaranteed.

That’s just how life is.

To her credit, she fulfilled her duty as Luna and stoically congratulated the happy couple and helped come to an agreement for their adjusted schedules.I watch as she follows Lenora and Musu out when we are finished.

Marco and Milo stay behind so we can discuss schedules and strategies for guards to protect Kas for the foreseeable future.

"Alpha, I know a lot has happened over the last week or so, but is Kas okay?" Marco asks.

Other than Delilah and me, he knows her probably better than anyone.

One of the few people I don’t mind when he doesn’t call her Luna because at the end of the day, they really are friends.I pause for a moment, debating whether to tell him about Kas not being able to have a baby, but decide against it.

Lenora is the only person I have ever told, and I swore her to secrecy.

Lenora takes that kind of trust seriously, so I know she wouldn’t tell anyone, not even Milo.

"Yeah, she’ll be okay.You know how she gets when there are a lot of changes going on," I do my best to mollify his worry, "I will check on her when we’re done here.Also, I think it will help her to go down and have dinner with the pack.Things have just been...heavy...if she sees how excited everyone is to have her back, I think that will help her mood."
