Forever In The Past And Forever In The Future By Neener Chapter 61


    Kas’s POV


    Coffee and dark chocte. Mochino. I smell it before I open my eyes. Bronx. My mate. He came


    home. He asked me not to leave. I have a pounding headache from crying but I feel myself being


    calmed by his scent. I clutch his shirt tight and pull i t closer to my nose breathing in deeply. I feel his


    hand gently rubbing my back.


    “You awake, Baby?” I hear his rough voice from outside the cocoon he has me wrapped in. I nod my


    head and he opens u p hisrge arms, so he can look at me.


    “You ready to talk?” He asks gently, as he brushes my bangs out of my eyes.


    “I don‘t know,” I tell him honestly, “I don‘t want to cry anymore.”


    Bronx sighs deeply and shakes his head like he‘s not sure what to say. He rubs his hands on his face


    before he continues,” Kas, I–I have some confessions to make and I‘m sure you‘re going to be mad but


    I need to tell you.”

    “Confessions?” I squeak out.


    “Oh my Goddess, is he seriously about to say he has been cheating on us?!” Lex starts to growl, “How


    did we not smell another she wolf on him?!”


    I feel myself stiffen at Lex‘s revtion, bracing myself for whatever Bronx is about to say


    “Kas, I intentionally distanced myself from you in hopes you would get upset,” he flicks his eye up from


    the ground to look at me.


    “What?” No, like seriously, what the fuck? I think I would have rather he told me he was cheating on


    me, “W–why would you do that, Bronx?”


    He doesn‘t answer my question. His eye darts around, avoiding my re, as he gulps hard and


    continues to speak.


    “I also ordered the pack members to exclude you from helping around the packhouse,” his voice cracks


    and he clears his throat, “except for Delh. She has been keeping an eye on you for me.”


    I slowly stand at the admission. He did


    Olowly stand at the admission. He did this on purpose. He hurt me on purpose. H e manipted the


    people around me. He wanted me to feel this way. Hopelessness turns into disbelief turns into pure


    rage. Lex‘s and minebined. That‘s all I feel. I pull away from Bronx as he desperately tries to hold


    on to me. Lexis seconds away from taking over and I‘m not going to stop her if she does.


    “Kas, I can exin. I–” he pleads.


    “Exin?! EXPLAIN?!” I shriek. Lex has had enough. She grabs me and roughly yanks me to the back


    of our mind.


    “How dare you, Bronx Mason?” Lex roars in her deep ethereal tone, “HOW DARE YOU HURT MY


    KAS!” The windows rattle and the floor shakes as her voice booms. Our heart is drumming out of our


    chest.


    “Elexis, please, I–,” He suddenly looks very small and very afraid. We shifted without me even realizing


    it. Lex‘s voice was now just snarls and barks.


    “No Lex, if you hurt Bronx, you hurt Saint too! Please don‘t hurt our mate!” I plead with her, trying to pull


    on her consciousness, “just leave. Please, just


    O sciousness, “just leave. Please, just leave. That is what we nned to do anyway.”


    I hear the door to the apartment crash open and Jameses running in to see what themotion


    is. He stops in his tracks when he sees Lex, nearly feral, towering over Bronx.


    Lex doesn‘t answer me, she just howls and charges full speed out the bay window. Breaking it into a


    million pieces as she crashes through. Shends easily from the third story, running without a break in


    her stride, straight into the woods. I can hear the thundering paws of Saint behind us, along with at


    least two o r three others, presumably James and Marco right behind him. Lex is bigger and stronger


    than all of them and she hasn‘t been allowed out in weeks, so she has energy to burn. The further we


    run, the farther back the chasing paws sound until I can‘t hear them at all.


    The snow is falling heavily now. I‘m d we are in wolf form because Lex‘s fur is the only thing keeping


    us warm. She is deep into the woods and night is quickly falling and so is the temperature,


    ling and so is the temperature.


    “Lex, if you‘re not going back, you need t o at least find shelter. It‘s going to be subzero temperatures


    soon. Your paws will get frostbite,” I tried to reason with her.


    She still won‘t answer me. I can feel she‘s in full primal mode. I‘m not sure she could answer me if she


    wanted to right now, but she does slow to a walk to get her bearings. Her breath visible even in the


    darkness. The woods are thick in this part of the territory. We can hear Blood River in the distance, off


    to the right. Other than that, no familiar sights or scents can be found. We can‘t hear any wolves


    around us either, which seems to b e satisfactory to her. There‘s a path off to the left, she sniffs then


    follows it up a hill. At the top, there is a little cabin. She sniffs the air again. It seems to be abandoned


    Lex throws her body against the flimsy door and easily knocks it down. The crashing sound quickly


    fades in the silence of the night. We walk inside and look around. The inside of the cabin is a big open


    room. A thickyer of dust dungeon and I have no one to me but myself.
