Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future novel Chapter 127

“She’s pregnant?” I ask out loud, no one in particular.

“Twins,” Reggie says dully.

“Based on how big she is and comparing her to when Musu was pregnant, we think she’s due any day. Since she hasn't eaten, her babies are basically using her body for nutrition. For lack of a better term, they’re eating her alive,” Milo says, as he brushes his hand against her cheek. He sits back on his heels and looks at her with tears in his eyes, “We don't know what happened to Lex. She hasn't been able to heal her for over three weeks now.”

“What did the doctor say?” I gulp hard. I plant my feet to the ground, afraid to move.

“You said no fucking doctors,” Reggie hisses at me through gritted teeth, “or have you forgotten?” 7

“LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HER YOU SON OF A BITCH!” Saint's first words in weeks are pure rage against me. He tries to claw his way forward to take control and get to Kas, still protective of her. I take a step forward. A small piece of me, a deep down part that has been hidden away until this moment, still wants her. Still wants to keep her safe and protect her.

I look at Reggie, then Milo, then to Kas. I broke our mate bond, so why do! feel this way? How could I have let this happen? Why didn’t! listen to the people around me? What have I done? As I take in the scene in front of me, the lights flicker and Kas seems to have a convulsion, what little muscle she has left contracts, and she pulls her limbs closer to her stomach before it stops and the lights brighten.

“What was that?” I look around the room.

“We think she’s going into labor. She doesn't have any magic left, but it’s been happening for two days now.

She's so weak, we don't know how she is possibly going to give birth,” Milo wipes a tear from his eye as he watches her helplessly.

“Get the doctor,” I hear myself say, pushing Reggie aside, “Give me privacy with my mate and get the doctor now.”

“She's not your mate anymore, Bronx, but she’s still our Luna,” Milo stands up and blocks my way, “I’m not letting you hurt her.”

“I won't hurt her,” I snarl, pushing him out of the way, “Get out of here, go get the doctor.”

I hear Milo and Reggie run down the hallway, but can’t take my eyes off of Kas. Saint is pacing impatiently in my mind, “Fix her. Fix her now, asshole. Save our pups and fix our mate.”

I kneel on the ground next to the cot and look at Kas. She doesn't look real. It is like a gruesome caricature of who she used to be. I feel tears stinging the corner of my eyes.

A mournful howl comes from deep inside my chest. I rock her helplessly in my arms and lean my forehead against hers, letting my tears flow freely. In the distance, I can hear howls from around the packhouse from everyone else feeling the Luna bond break.

“Bronx, let her go. The doctor needs to save the pups,” I feel Milo’s hand gripping my shoulder, but he sounds so far away. I hold my sweet little mate closer to my body, praying for a sign that she’s still with me. That she hasn't given up. That my anger and stupidity didn’t kill her. It’s a fool's wish. She’s gone. I did this to her.

I look up to see Reggie and Milo with pained looks on their faces. Behind them are doctors and nurses crying with their hands clutching their hearts as they struggle through the pain of the Luna bond breaking.

“I'm so sorry,” I whisper. I want to say more, but Ican’t think of anything good enough.

The world feels like it is in slow motion as Reggie unwraps my arms from around Kas’s body and places her ona gurney. The medical staff immediately runs out of the dungeon to get her to surgery and deliver the babies.

A loud humming sound fills my ears. I try to stand up, but Milo pushes me back down to my knees. I see him in front of me, shaking his head and saying something, but I can’t hear him over the humming.

All I can do is put my hands over my face and sob.
