Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future by Neener Chapter 45

We talk more about the additional responsibilities I need Milo to cover if he is going to be acting Alpha. Obviously I

will be here to support him, but I am going to trust him to do what he believes is right.

As we are talking James sends me a mind link, ” Alpha!

Delilah just texted me, she needs us back at the

apartment. She said it’s important. I ‘m on my way there right now.“

My heart jumps, “Milo, it’s Kas. I gotta go.”

I sprint out of the room before he has a chance to answer but I feel him on my heels as I run down the hall. James gets to the top of the stairs as we are running past and joins us.

“What’s happening, Alpha?” Tyree, Kas’s substitute guard asks as I skid to a halt at the apartment door.

“Wait here, Tyree. No one else comes in, ” I growl as I push open the door.

“Kas! Delilah! ” They aren’t in the living room.

“We’re in here, Alpha Bronx, ” I hear Delilah’s voice from the bedroom. I rush into the bedroom, throwing the door open.

Kas is standing next to Delilah. They both jump with fright as the door bangs against the wall. It takes me a moment to process what I am seeing until Milo and James bump into my back.

I growl comes from deep within my chest and rattles the room. My best friend and my mate’s personal guard are standing right behind me looking at my mate. My mate who has no shirt on. Kas quickly covers her breasts with her hands when she realizes I am not the only man standing in our bedroom. Her eyes are wide with embarrassment and she is turning bright red.

“BRONX!” she squeals, trying to turn away to cover herself. Delilah puts her arms out wide and situates herself between Kas and the three men who just burst into the room but it’s too late Milo and James have already seen her and my instinct to protect my mate is in overdrive.

“Little Sister! What the Hell?! ” Milo says, sounding very uncomfortable.

“Milo, James, you need to get the f*ck out before you end up with broken necks, ” I snarl. I can feel myself

shaking in anger. Even without Saint driving the wolf side of me, I lose sight of the fact that I
