Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future by Neener Beener chapter 26

I hear a familiar giggle that warms my soul. I turn to find the most gorgeous woman in the world standing in front of me. She’s wearing leggings and a linen sleeveless tunic style top. She’s gained weight since the last time I saw her, filling out her curves.

Her skin has a sun-kissed glow that makes a few freckles pop on her nose and cheeks. My heart skips a beat at the sight of my mate.

She bounces on her toes and runs to me.

“Bronx! ” she squeals as she jumps into my outstretched arms. Sparks fly between us as our bodies collide.

“Kas! Oh, Goddess, it’s so good to see you. You look amazing, ” I say as I pepper her face with kisses and plant one on her mouth.

“Luna lokaste, dinner is in two hours. Why don’t you show Alpha Bronx around in the meantime? ” Lady Camille suggests as she seems to appear out of nowhere.

“Yes, ma’am, ” Kas says but doesn’t take her eyes off of me.

“Bronx, I have learned so much already. Lex and I are so close now. It’s practically like we’re the same spirit, ” Kas speaks excitedly as we walk around the coven house grounds. I notice Marco following at a distance, giving us plenty of space. Good. I am glad to see he is committed to his job.

“Oh, did Lady Camille tell you about James and Sister Delilah?” she says with sparkling eyes.

“Yeah, Baby, she said she and I have decisions to make before you guys leave. We can worry about that later, ” I reassure her.

We stop at a bench next to the path we’re walking on. I sit down and pull her into my lap. We sit there holding each other, talking about how things have been. She seems to have done a lot in two weeks. The more she tells me the more I don’t know how she possibly had the time to do it all. As she sits on my lap, our conversation melts into nothing more than slow, soft kisses until a woman comes up to us and clears her throat.

“My apologies for the interruption, Alpha Bronx, Luna lokaste, but dinner will be served in ten minutes, ” she says with a blush.

“Thank you, Sister Renee, ” Kas says gratefully. She stands up and takes my hand.

We go inside to a large dining room with three long tables that take up the length of the room. There are benches instead of chairs. Approximately a hundred women are talking and laughing with each other in their seats.

They all stop when they see Kas and me. They stand in unison and bow, showing their respect to me. I

bow in return feeling self conscious as I realize I am the only person who is not female in the room. They all go back to sitting but quietly, as Lady Camille stands at the center of the room on a small platform.

“Sisters, as you know, Luna Iokaste’s mate has arrived for a visit. Please make him feel welcome over the next two days. In other news, tonight is the full moon. Alpha Bronx, your Luna wanted to surprise you with the news, so please, Luna lokaste, go ahead.”
