Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 47

I spread the pictures out trying to make sense of it. Has she been reincarnated that many times in a hundred years?

"Is this it? Were there any other pictures?" I ask, looking up at Musu.

"I think I found one from the second Italian War of Independence, but it is very old. I can't be sure it is her," Musu turns the laptop to show me a grainy image of a stern-looking woman sitting in a chair. There is a large man in a soldier's uniform behind her with his hand on her shoulder. It could be her, but there is no telling for sure.

"Do we know who the soldier is? He doesn't age either?" I ask, tapping my finger on the desk while I examine the image. I look down in the other pictures and see he is in the one from the twenties and the one from the eighties as well.

"Still researching, but it looks like his features stay the same, just like hers do.”

‘This stays between US for now, Musu. Until we can figure out what the Hell is going on. I want all the intel you can possibly gather before we confront Katherine Santoro.”

‘Yes Alpha,” she says with a little sigh. I can see a touch of exhaustion on her face.

"I know it's difficult, Musu. And I am sure it's getting to be a lot of stress, which is not good for you or the baby. The offer still stands. If you need to take time off to collect yourself, we will all support you on that decision,” I look her in the eyes while I speak to her. I think I give her the genuine smile that Kas always talks about because she doesn't look scared by it.

"It's actually babies, Alpha. I'm having twins. And if you think I'm taking time off when things are getting this juicy, you have another think coming,” she laughs heartily at me, flashing a toothy smile.

"Twins?!" I lean back in my seat and put my hand over my heart, "Wow. Double the congratulations, Musu. That's such a blessing."

Before she can respond, there is another knock on the door. This time it's Carly, with all her supplies for our meeting.

"Carly, please give Musu the names for any males who will accompany the Santoro Enterprises team. She has some research to do.”
