Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 64

I pull away from her but find myself still holding her hand as I turn toward my friends.I don’t want to let go.

This warm, comforting feeling can last forever as far as I'm concerned.

"Reggie, I’m going to try.Anything for Ashley.I just need to speak with these ladies first.I want to make sure that I won't do anything that will hurt her or your baby, okay?"

Reggie exhales a ragged breath and pulls me into a tight hug, "Thank you, Luna.Thank you."

I hear Bronx clear his throat behind us, "Gamma.Do you mind?"

Reggie looks up and quickly lets me go, "Oh, uh, sorry Alpha."

"Kas, we will be over in the weight room.Just let us know when you're ready,"

Bronx says with a loving look.

I smile as he brushes his fingers against my chin.I lean against his rough palm, holding it against my face with my hands.

Even though I didn’t know I was missing for two days, I hadn’t seen Bronx for five days before that.I miss him.I move my nose into his hand taking a deep breath of his dark chocolate and coffee scent.

He bends down and gives me a deep kiss, before he claps Reggie on the back and heads down the hallway.

I watch them head into the weight room.

Beyond that, there are several guards standing at attention in the hallway.

What’s that about? "Ladies, after you,"

I hold the door open to the meditation room to let the three powerful women I’m standing with go in first.

Once we are all settled, Lady Camille takes charge of the conversation, "Luna Iokaste, I have been alive for a very long time and in all my years, I have never heard of a healer from any species able to change someone's blood.Pull out poisons or add healing energy, of course, but never change it.The thing is, well, you’re more special than we could have ever imagined."

I look at her confused, "Special?"

"Kas, when we allowed you to come to the Coven, we just knew you were a goddess.We knew you were something that we had never seen before and that you were special,"

Delilah chimes in now, "What we didn’t know is that we should have never given you a glimpse into your past because, well..."
