Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 77

Marco picks me up at five a.m. sharp and takes me down to the training ground. James is there with Delilan and Tyree.

"Hi Delilah... Tyree...what are you guys doing here?" I smile, happy to see them.

"Kas, Alpha Bronx is making some updates on the team. We wanted to surprise you and introduce your newest full time guard and magic advisor," Marco says with a smile, motioning to Tyree and Delilah.

"Really?" my eyes light up as I look at Delilah, who winks at me, then at Tyree with his arms crossed in front of him, smiling cheerfully.

"I'm glad I will get to be with you full time from now on, Luna," Tyree says, his dark eyes twinkle in the early morning light, "Although the Gamma was kinda bummed out that he needs to find a new scout."

James steps forward and speaks now, "Kas, we are bringing on Tyree because I won't be on physical duty for you as often anymore. I mean sometimes, but mostly, I am going to be working with Gamma Reggie, Beta Lenora, and Musu. We are going to be keeping a closer eye on things in the world to make sure you are not in danger."

"So you are my eye in the sky?" I try not to giggle.

James chuckles, "Yeah, think of me as the eye in the sky. And if we think you could be in danger or if you need Delilah or me at any time, all you need to do is give the word and we will be there right away."

"Thank you, James. I'm so excited for you," I feel myself hopping on my toes and clapping a little. Delilan takes James's hand and gives it a supportive kiss.

"I think this guy over here has even bigger news," he points his thumb over his shoulder to Marco.

"Marco, you have news too?" I raise my eyebrows in excitement.

"Yeah, Kas, I do actually," he rubs the back of his neck, looking a little embarrassed. He takes a deep breath before he speaks again, "Starting today, I'm the Lead Guard for your team. Tyree and I are gonna split up guard duty. James will fill in for US occasionally, but like he said, he is going to be focusing on intel. Delilah is going to help you learn how to use your abilities better. Everyone reports to me when it has anything to do with your safety. I report any updates to Alpha Bronx on Monday mornings or as needed.”
