Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Forever In The Past And Forever In The Future By Neener Chapter 75

Chapter 75

The first thing I do once Kas unwraps herself from around me is go into the closet and put my gun back in its lockbox before I bury the box back into the bottom of the trunk. If at all possible, I never want to see it again.

Once I get out of my tac gear, I get in the shower. I only use hot water, letting it turn my skin red and raw. I’m not sure how long I stand there. It doesn’t matter. I just let my brain shut down and let the water cleanse me. Ironic to have a wolf named Saint when we feel like we are anything but.

I finally feel a little better, so I go to the closet and put on sweats. I sit on the floor and dial my therapist, making an appointment for the next day. When I come out of the bedroom, I smell chicken cooking and Kas is sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. I pull my mate close to me and just breathe her in. I instantly feel more calm. So does Saint.

“Sweetheart, what do you say we let Saint and Lex go for a run?” Kas suggests as she runs her fingers through my hair, “They could use some time together, yeah?”

“Yes, let me spend time with my mate, please. I behaved myself the last four days. I deserve

plenty of times where he and I could have completely lost our shit, but we held it together.

“That sounds good, Baby, but I have one thing I need to do before we shift. Give me a minute then we can head out to the woods,” I give her a quick kiss and go back into the closet pulling all my gear into a bag. I grab the pack of cigarettes out of my pocket. There is one left. I tuck it behind my ear and put the lighter in my pocket.

“Bronx. Is this really a good time to do this?” Saint asks. He sounds a bit nervous.

“Yeah, man. I promised Kas and besides, we both know I can’t do this anymore,” I sigh, “T00 many people count on me.”

“Alright. You’re gonna really go through with this, huh?” Saint shakes his head.

“Yeah. It’s time, buddy.”

I pick up the bag with my gear and head out to the woods with Kas.

I take Kas’s hand and we walk to the farthest area from the packhouse that is not wooded. We come to an old
