Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 94

Kas’s POV

"Kas, you’re sure about this, right?"

Lex asks while I get changed into fresh clothes, "I mean, I agree with your decision, but I just want to make sure this is what you really want to do.We don’t know if it’s going to work."

"I'm sure, Lex.We have to try.I only have to live long enough to give birth to Cora.After that, worst case, you and I meet again in our next lifetime," I say resolutely, "You have my back, right?"

"Yes, I have your back.Jeez, Kas, you’re such a badass, you know that? You're making this lifetime one of my favorites," she coos at me, "A true warrior child of the Moon Goddess."

I roll my eyes at her, "Speaking of lifetimes, hundreds of them.I understand why you couldn’t tell me but you told me we have had like fifteen or twenty lifetimes with Bronx, with all things relative, that isn’t very many."

"Well, there are a couple reasons for that," she says sheepishly, "Sometimes you die before you meet him.Sometimes you die before I even wake up."

"Who was my mate before Bronx? I mean, Saint isn’t even a thousand years old but you and I, our spirits, are ancient."

"I don’t really want to get into those morbid details, Kas.It’s the past.It doesn’t matter.You have Bronx now and I have Saint.We love them very much until the end of our spirits’ journeys."

Morbid? I lean against the dresser and think for a moment.

What an odd way to describe past mates.

From the bathroom, I hear the shower turn off and Bronx gives a big snarling yawn.I can’t imagine living a lifetime that I don't get to know this guy.He is perfect for me.

"I know technically I can’t command you to do anything, but I am going to command you right now, okay?"

"Ummm...okay?"

"I command you to never ever, no matter what, never tell me how I have died in the past.This is the last time in this life anyway that we have this conversation.I need to keep as many positive thoughts in my heart as I can."

"Command accepted, ma’am."

"Thank you.Now let's go find Cora and Amari."

Bronx comes into the closet room, with a towel wrapped low around his waist, and gives me a kiss before he chooses what to wear for the day.I admire his hard chest and abs and smile at the tattoos that blanket his skin like a work of art.

"Yeah, the sooner the better.I want to get back so we can spend time with Saint," she purrs, sending dirty images of things she wants to do with him.
