Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 70

We run through a maze of hallways and stairwells until we reach a random door. She pulls a key out of her pocket, unlocks it, and pulls me inside. We’re in a small, modern studio suite.

She locks the door behind her and pulls me over to the loveseat.

“Please, sit. Umm, they told me your name is Marco?” Her voice warms me from the inside out but she doesn’t have a French accent. She is from somewhere else.

Sitting down, I reach my hand out and take hers, 1 gently tug on it to get her to sit down too. She sits facing me. Her dark, wide set eyes are hypnotyzing. I could drown in those pools of chocolate and be perfectly happy doing so. She is so damn beautiful, “Uh, yeah, Marco Sanchez. I heard them call you Musu?”

“Yes, I’m Musu Goba,” her full lips smile shyly. I notice she is wearing lip gloss, making them that much more enticing. I want to feel her lips on mine so badly, but I control myself. My heart is pounding in my chest and Clash is racing around in my head like a maniac.

“You don’t sound French. Where are you from?” I’m trying to play it cool, but ain’t no way she doesn’t notice me sweating.

“Sierra Leone. My mother is the second chance mate of Alpha Henri’s Beta. We moved here when my brother and I were thirteen. My brother Everl became Martin’s Beta and I am acting a s female Beta until Everl finds a mate.”

“Oh I see. Look, I-I’m not gonna lie here, Musu. I just need to get it out of the way. You’re beautiful and I’m trying my best to control myself here cause it’s important to me that we get t o know each other, but you should know, I really wanna kiss you. Like, I really wanna. But my Mama taught me to be respectful to women and I don’t want to rush you and I don’t want you t o do anything you don-” before I can finish, she throws her arms around my neck and starts kissing me, full tongue. A kiss has never felt so damn good. The sparks of our bond make little electric shocks between us as I wrap my arms around her and return the kiss. Who am I to deny my mate? 5

Kas’s POV

“We’re not going to separate them, are we?” I ask as I look around the room in distress.

“Of course not,” Beta Everl says, “I can handle being Beta on my own until I find my mate. Although, your Marco is going to have to face my mother and stepfather. Hopefully, he can handle that.”

Everl shakes his head as he looks off in the distance and chuckles. The Lune D’or pack members around the room laugh at the thought as well.

“I mean, Marco has taken down two werebears in his day. Hell, he’s practically the size of one. I can even remember a time when he held his own against a dragon in an underground fight club. But I don’t know that he’s ever faced a she-wolf’s protective parents. I guess we will see how he handles it,” Bronx says with a chuckle of his own. +

“Don’t worry Luna Kas, when I tell my parents how quickly he moved to protect Musu and that he is one of your personal guards, they will be impressed. His talent shows that rank is not important. Speaking of which, he almost got you, Alpha Bronx. You didn’t flinch, but he almost got you,” Beta Everl shakes his finger at Bronx with a teasing smirk.
