Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 85

From the time Tyree knocks on the door, to the time her sisters walk in, it feels like all that negative energy that was filling the room gets sucked back out.I look over and see Kas looking back to her normal self.

Did she just pull all that bad energy back into herself? Katherine is gripping Tessa tightly by the upper arm.

She leads her to a chair and sets her down.

Tessa’s eyes are puffy and watery and her nose is red.

I’m not sure she knows what's going on around her.It’s kinda sad.

She lost her mate, got called out for knowing he’s a pervert, had a blowout with her sister, and her wolf is a little loco.

A crazy wolf never ends well for the human side.

I almost feel bad for her.

Almost.

Once everyone’s sitting, Kas stands at the head of the table.

"Thank you for meeting us here," she says to her sisters.

Even those few words, she sounds more like herself than she has all day, "I want to apologize for my behavior earlier.I let Elexis get the best of me and it won’t happen again.I would like to continue the conversation now that we're in a more private atmosphere."

Katherine smiles, while her other sisters look down at the table, "Kas, I would also like to apologize on behalf of all of us.I should have stepped in and stopped Valor when she took over Tessa’s consciousness."

Why is everything with this woman so calculated? I mean, it’s convincing, but still.It doesn’t sit right.Kas nods, then introduces everyone.

She introduces Musu as her historical researcher, Delilah as her business partner, and James and me as her personal guards.We all shake hands like a regular meeting.

I see a tiny red light turn on inside the camera above the door.

James looks down at his watch and gives a tiny nod.
