Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 71

Marco’s shoulders dropped at Bronx’s words but if he had been looking straight ahead, instead of at the floor, he would have seen Bronx’s body language betraying his stern voice.

I clear my throat and try to sound serious, “Marco, first and foremost. You drew a weapon on your Alpha and my mate. Regardless of the circumstances, we expect better of you. When we get back to Blood River, you and Alpha Bronx will have a private conversation about the consequences of that action.”

Marco’s eyes flick toward me and back to the ground with a quick nod, “Yes, Luna.”

“Aside from that, we’re so happy you’ve found your mate. Alpha Bronx and I have discussed the matter with Alpha Martin and have decided on the best way to handle this,” I pause when h e looks at me expectantly. His brow is furrowed with worry.

“Marco, Musu’s parents and her twin brother Beta Everl are waiting for you downstairs in the front sitting room. You are to go ask their permission for their daughter to accompany us back to Blood River. If Musu has her parents’ blessing, she is welcome to come with us back to Blood River. So you better be a real smooth talker, my friend, I hear they are a bit overprotective of their only daughter. And I know for a fact Mama Sanchez would love to see you happy with a mate at home. We leave for the Coven’s realm in one hour,” I say firmly. The look on his face is surprise, disbelief, and excitement all rolled into one, “Oh, and Marco, James gets a break while we are at the coven house. You’re back on duty as soon as we leave this castle. Understood?”.

Marco looks at me with pleading eyes, “Kas….I-I mean…Luna, please tell me this isn’t a trick. Please tell me it’s true. Cause she’s the most amazing woman and I’m so scared to lose her.”

“Marco, I would never trick you. Now get going, time’s ticking,” I smile at him.

For a split second, he looks like he is going to hug me, but then thinks better of it when he sees Bronx glaring.
