Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 105

Lenora’s POV

Musu and I meet in my office fifteen minutes after I mind link her to let her know we have new information and need her help immediately.She is dressed casually, a light blue tank top and white jeans.

The combination makes her deep complexion look even darker.She has her hair wrapped in a blue and white silk scarf, hiding her beautiful twisted black hair.

"I apologize for my appearance, Beta.I wasn’t expecting to leave the house today, but since Marco got called in, I got dressed quickly and came here with him," her dark wide- set eyes are filled with an unneeded apology.

"It’s alright, Musu. am appreciative that you even agreed right now,"

I praise her in return, "So here's what the Alpha told me.He wants information on a group called The Feral and the leader of the group.

A woman named Cora, who may have magical abilities.He didn’t say she is a witch, but maybe?"

"I don’t know about the name Cora, but I think I saw a book in Alpha Bronx’s private library that referenced Agrios.I know it's an old Greek word, hmm let me do a quick internet search," she flips open her laptop and starts typing.

After a moment, she turns the screen toward me, "The word itself means wild or savage, but in Greek mythology, there was a Gigantes created to fight the Olympian gods during the Giant War, named Agrios.He was supposed to replace the Moirai, who are more commonly known as The Fates.It never came to be because someone killed Agrios during the war.

"Okay.I will look into the definition side, you look further into the mythology side.Look for any covens or witch subcultures that somehow identify with the Gigante or maybe even the Fates.,"

I write some notes on my notepad, "Bronx has restricted the fifth floor today, so no getting into his library."

"I can make do, Beta.Mind if I sit at the conference table?"

"Have at it, Musu.Let’s regroup in forty-five minutes.Thank you again for coming in at the last minute,"

I turn to my laptop to get started.

Musu doesn’t get up.I look back to her to see she has a concerned look on her face, "Is everything alright?"

"I don't mean to overstep, but now that we have found the Luna, do you think it is a good time to discuss the video with Alpha Bronx?"

I audibly sigh, "Yeah, there isn’t really any avoiding it now."

She nods and makes her way to the meeting table in the back of the room.

Half an hour later, a knock interrupts our research.

"Come in!"

The door opens and Bronx steps in.

Milo and Reggie follow behind him.I feel a small pit in my stomach expecting Bronx’s reaction when we show him the video.

"Well, don’t the three of you look dashing," I smile, resting my hand on my chin, referring to the suits they have on.

Bronx is even wearing a tie.

"Thanks, Sugar," Milo smiles and leans over the desk to kiss me on the cheek.

Bronx and Reggie sit in the chairs across from me while Milo sits on the edge of my desk.

Musu approaches and regards them all formally.

"Leni, we’re going to MasonCo headquarters in a few minutes.The news outlets haven’t even received the video file yet, but Ashley says a ton of reporters and paparazzi are already queued up outside.They caught wind from the media outlets that there is going to be an announcement in an hour,"

Bronx says in a serious tone.

"Alright.We are looking into the information you gave us.Musu, take it away," I gesture to her.

She fills the guys in on the information she had hypothesized.

"So is it associated with the Menae?" Reggie asks.

"we will let you know when we have some definitive information.I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up.Beta, is this a good time to discuss the video?"

I take a deep breath, "Yeah."

"What video?" Bronx asks, sounding annoyed, "Does this have to do with Kas?"

"Uhhh, no.It has to do with you.I don’t even know how to introduce it.We got this last week, but Kas was kidnapped the morning before we were going to show you. Just watch,"

I turn my attention back to my computer and click on the video file.

Musu and I watch the guys' reactions.

All three have eyes glued to the monitor.

Milo looks horrified.

Reggie looks defeated.

Bronx looks so angry that he's about to shift.

"who the fuck is she? Why the fuck does she have the cursed knife that almost killed me? And why the fuck does she look like she could be my wife?" Bronx growls, still looking at the monitor.

"Musu, do you mind fielding this one?" I give her a pleading look.

Musu calmly explains that the video is over a year old and she received it from one of her contacts.

The victim is Cordell Santoro.

She pauses before she reads the police report she obtained through an informant with the local Milan police, explaining the missing organs.

I look over at Bronx who is so angry; he is literally vibrating, but holding it together.

Musu explains that our forensics team believes the woman is the same one we have photos of from haunted and dark magic locations around the world.

Definitely one of the Manae.

As for the knife, we don't know how she acquired it or her connection to Bronx’s attack.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"I remember hearing about Cordell Santoro’s death on the news.He’s the guy from Santoro Industries.They said it was a robbery,"

Reggie recalls, "No one mentioned organs were the items being stolen."

Bronx ignores Reggies revelation and asks, "Did anyone in this room know the Santoros were wolves?"

"No, Alpha," we all reply in unison.

"How is a family that powerful not part of a huge pack?" It is a rhetorical question, but a good one.

"Musu, I want you to look into it.Find out who they are.If one of Kas's sisters killed her husband, maybe there is some connection to Kas that we need to know about."

"Yes Alpha, of course," Musu, bows her head slightly.

She looks at me hesitantly before she continues, "Alpha, we believe it is a good idea for you to have guards tailing you.For your safety, Sir."

Bronx suddenly stands, making Musu flinch slightly, "No.Milo, Reggie, let’s go."

"Bronx, please listen to reason," I jump up, following him out of the room.

He turns to face me and I see his eye flicker black.

"I.Said.No," he snarls in his Alpha voice through gritted teeth, forcing me to stand down.

Without another word, he turns around and leaves.

"Sorry, Sugar,"

Milo gives me a sympathetic look, "We'll try to talk some sense into him."

He gives me a peck on the cheek before he and Reggie obediently follow after their Alpha.
