Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future by Neener Beener chapter 34

I leave the coven with a flame of joy in my heart. When I get back to the packhouse and tell everyone the good news, the atmosphere couldn’t have been more celebratory.

I want to do something special for James and Milo as a thank- you. I give Ashley orders to spruce up their homes. Especially James’s house to make it comfortable for Delilah.

I also have her set up classes for the pack, focusing on speciesism and being more open-minded. Not just for MasonCo

employees, for everyone. Presumably, other pack members may have mates that are not werewolves. I want to make sure everyone is prepared and respectful of the mate bond, regardless of species.

Ashley takes several omegas to help get the work done at

James’s house. Fresh paint, new bed, new linens, dishes, and such. Leaving it just plain enough that Delilah and James would be able to decorate it to their taste. She has the pantry filled with staples and pre-orders perishable food to put into the refrigerator the day before they come home. She doesn’t want them to have anything to worry about.

Marco is one of the warriors who chooses to live in an apartment instead of a house on pack territory. Milo looks in his file to where there are notes about taking care of his parents, who are bit older. He does most of the maintenance and yard work for them and doesn’t have time to take care of a house of his own.

I tell Lenora to have the Sanchez house added to the list of properties our landscaping and maintenance staff will start to take care of it. I don’t want him to have to do the extra work on his days off. He should be able to spend that time with his family if that is what he chooses.

When Ashley takes the omegas to Marco’s apartment, they find a stereotypical bachelor pad complete with second-hand furniture and an unidentifiable smell that needs to be expelled.

“Um, Alpha? ” she sends a mind link. She used my title, which means it is pack business related.

because she apparently doesn’t have enough on her plate with all of that, Ashley insists on putting up winter solstice decorations around the packhouse early, so they will be ready when Kas, Delilah, James, and Marco get home. Within a week, much to the dismay of the frazzled
