Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 11

The doctors run every test they can think of but can't find anything wrong with Kas other than the fact that she's exhausted.

They determine that she didn’t ingest known poisons.

Thank the Goddess for that.

They attribute the exhaustion to using so much energy when she almost drowned in the pool.

Based on how much weight she lost since the last time she had a checkup, the doctor doesn’t think she has had anything to eat in the four days she was missing.I try to convince her to eat or drink anything.

She appeases me by drinking a few sips of water, but pushes away any food we try to give her.She won’t even take a bite of a banana, which is her favorite.

When I found Kas two years ago, she was severely underweight from not being allowed to eat regularly.It took weeks before she could adjust to a normal diet.

Since then, she has become a ravenous eater.

Never turning down a meal, always snacking on veggies or a piece of fruit.

"Come on, Kas.Just a few bites of toast, at least.A little something in your stomach might kick start your appetite. Please," I beg her.

"1'll eat when I'm hungry, Bronx," she insists, gently pushing the plate of toast away.

"Okay, how about a protein shake, just enough to get some calories in you?" I try to offer an alternative.She just scrunches up her nose at the idea and shakes her head.

"Kas, we're worried about you.You’ve lost almost ten pounds in four days.I can’t stand to see you lose more," I stroke her cheek while I confess my concern.

"I'm fine, Bronx.If I wasn’t, I would tell you.You know that," she says with a promise.

"Give her a rabbit,"

Saint huffs, also frustrated that his mate won’t eat.

"A rabbit?"

"Yeah, that’s what Lex hunts for when she’s hungry.I can go out and find one right now and bring it to her," he offers.

"Let’s hold off on raw meat while she is in human form, buddy.But I appreciate the offer."

"Have it your way," he shrugs and goes to lie down in the back of my mind.

I can sense that he is still paying close attention to make sure Kas is alright.

Kas places her hand on top of mine and leans into my palm.

There is something more in her eyes, but I can't place it.

Something more primal, like she has somehow tapped into a more wild part of her essence.I can sense her emotions have more depth to her already ancient soul.

When I look at her, I feel like I could fall into the violet pools of her eyes and be content for the rest of my life.
