Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 90

"What in the Goddess's name are you talking about?"

Lenora snarls at Katherine, "Kas, you better get your sister out of here before I do it for you.If she thinks she's taking my baby to be her mate, she's more fucked in the head than I ever imagined."

I look at Lenora to see her eyes are solid black as Justice surface.It only takes a flicker of a glance at Delilah for us to intervene.

We both step in between Lenora and Katherine, making more space between the women.

All the while, Milo is trying to soothe a hysterical, screaming Codi.

"Lenora, please don't make me use my Luna voice.You know I hate that,"

I try to reason with her, but it's too late.

My fearless mama- wolf, Beta, is ready to protect her pup, and she has her sights set on Katherine.She tries to push past me, but I grab her arms and hold her solidly.She may be six inches taller than me, but with Lex helping, I'm still stronger.

"I said stand down, Lenora," my Luna voice booms from deep inside me.

Almost instantly, Lenora stops struggling and her eyes turn green again.She straightens her blouse, never taking her glaring eyes off of Katherine.She looks like the slightest movement from Katherine will set her off again.

I open up a mind link "BRONX, MARCO, I need you guys NOW!"

"We're on the way, Kas.What’s going on?"

I hear Bronx reply.I look to my left and see Marco making his way toward me.

From behind me, I can smell Bronx’s coffee and dark chocolate scent getting stronger.

"You're sister and my sister...well, I don’t even know..."

I keep my hands on Lenora’s arms until Bronx comes up behind her and pulls her back.

Marco puts one arm protectively over top of me like we have practiced if there is a threat in the human world and extends his other to keep everyone at a distance.

"Marco, help Delilah with my sisters," I order from under his arm, "I'll help Bronx with Milo and Lenora."

He looks at the surrounding people, then reluctantly at me, "Kas, I “

"Please, Marco.I will be with Bronx and Milo.I will be fine.We will be at the head table when you have some answers,"

I do my best to reassure him I don’t need a guard when I’m with my mate.

Delilah and Marco corral Katherine, who can’t bear to take her teary eyes off of Codi, and Amari, leading them away from us to get an explanation on what is going on.
