Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 222. Real life
RainTime was passing slowly.I was pacing back and forth.No one was stopping me, probably lost in their thoughts.Who could blame them?The twins did wake up and were a little fussy, but the strange thing about all this was that they were very calm towards the Spiritborn. It was like that creature didn’t bother them at all.Meanwhile all of us were a fucking nervous wreck, afraid it was going to say our name like we were in the Hunger Games or something.In a way, this did feel like the Hunger Games! We were fighting these trials for someone’s enjoyment. Whose enjoyment? I don’t know, but it was probably the one the twins kept talking about.The one behind the veil.The one that watched us like pieces on a board.And worst of all, the one that seemed to know exactly what we feared most.I glanced around the area, catching the others' faces—pale, drawn, eyes darting to the Spiritborn like it might strike at any second.I hated this.The waiting.The not knowing.The feeling that we w

ColbyWhen the Spiritborn came back to life, we all tensed. I looked at it, feeling like it was about to call my name. And you know what? I wasn’t wrong. This was exactly what the damn thing did.The moment the Spiritborn called my name, the air shifted.“Colby McGrath. Step forward.”I blinked, staring up at them like maybe they’d gotten the name wrong.“Shit,” I muttered under my breath.Everyone turned to look at me.“Well,” I said, clapping my hands once, “guess that’s me.”“Try not to trip on your way up,” Rain called out, already grinning.Matt leaned against a post, arms folded. “Don’t cry in front of the ancient spirit. They’ll smell weakness.”Leave it to Matt to tell me this. I snorted, giving him a bit of a look.“Very funny,” I shot back. “You guys better wait for me.”“Obviously,” Rain said, like it wasn’t even a question.I looked at Lia, who stood just off to the side. Her arms were folded across her chest, but her eyes softened the second I looked her way.“You’ll wait
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 220. The Silverlight trees
LiaThe ground beneath us pulsed like it had a heartbeat. Everything shimmered—air, light, even the trees, like the entire forest was holding its breath.Then the Spiritborn turned toward me.“Lia Brown. Your trial is first.”My stomach tightened, but I didn’t flinch. I just nodded. “Okay.”The guys all turned toward me at once—four matching looks of worry in very different flavors.Matt stepped forward. “Wait—first? Why her?”“I’m not surprised,” Jesse said quietly. “She’s the reason we’re here.”Rain made a noise like a kicked puppy. “Can we trade? I’d rather go first. Seriously. Please.”“No.” I stepped past all of them, heart pounding but feet steady. “It’s fine. It makes sense.”Colby looked at me, eyes a little too serious for his usual self. “You don’t have to act like you’re not freaked out.”I gave him a tight smile. “I am freaked out. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going.”Rain looked panicked. “What if it’s some creepy memory trial? Or like, you must fight a mirror version o
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 219. Not a fan
LiaThe air in Ashroot didn’t feel like air. It felt like breathing in the hum of electricity and ancient whispers at the same time. Not a fan.Everything here felt wrong, like the world had been painted and we just stepped into some kind of strange painting. I wasn’t sure how to wrap my mind around that one but this was how it felt.The guys were walking, following the twins. I had Gemma’s tiny hand clenched in my mind, trying not to act as if my daughter was leading me forward.“Come on, Mama. You need to meet the Spiritborn.”This Spiritborn again, being of balance. I still didn’t know what the fuck that meant. Did the twins even know what it meant? It didn’t feel like they did.Rain kept muttering to himself, and so did Matt. We were all lost in our thoughts, trying to figure this out. Or trying to make sense of what we were seeing with our own two eyes.I kept looking around at everything, afraid something was going to pop up from behind the trees. Or in the distance, attacking u
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 218. Daddy Rain
JesseShe found me in the garage. It was where I ended up going to clear my mind. After everything that happened tonight, I needed to just take a break. Besides, Matt’s car did need to be fixed. It had been making a strange rattling sound.Was it something that needed to be fixed, otherwise the car wouldn’t run at all? No, that was not the case. But it did need to be fixed because it was a very annoying sound.At least it was giving me something to do, something to think about right now.I was halfway under Matt’s car, trying to pretend I liked doing maintenance just to have an excuse to avoid everyone for ten minutes.“You busy?” Lia asked, a voice calm but laced with that edge she got when she was about to ruin my entire afternoon.I slid out from under the car slowly. “I’m always busy when you use that tone.”She crossed her arms. “I’m going to Ashroot.”And there it was, but there was never any doubt that this was going to happen.If Ashroot was where we had to go, this was where
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 217. The twins' room
RainWe were back home.I thought it would be nice to be home, but no. Everyone was a nervous fucking wreck, thinking about what we had learned from the Rosewater Coven.To make matters worse, there was a sudden Lunar Eclipse that was coming today. These things were usually discovered ahead of time. They didn’t come unexpected, so the fact that it was coming out of the blue made me nervous.The last time a lunar eclipse happened, I enjoyed watching it. But this time, I wanted to close the windows and hide in a darkened room where it couldn’t find us. It was the only way I would be able to make it out of this feeling safe.Everyone else was pretty on edge, too. We were all doing our best to keep our cool and go about our daily life, until this thing facing the twins showed its ugly head.I wasn’t even supposed to be in that hallway. I was looking for the stupid charging cable Jesse stole from me. Again.“Matt!” I called out, knocking on the bedroom door. “I know you have it!”No answer

LiaThe second we had a chance to sit down with the elders, I was itching to ask them questions. I had so many things I wanted to say to them. So many things I needed to talk to them about, but before I could even get out so much as a word in edgewise, one of the elders spoke before me.She stared at me. I balked, wishing she would stop looking at me like this.“Why are you staring at me like that?”“I heard a rumor,” the elder said, her voice scratchy like old parchment. “About a prophecy.”I didn’t bother pretending to be surprised. “There are always rumors. What makes this one worth tracking me down for?”She tilted her head, her white braid sliding over one shoulder. “Because it’s old. And because it’s in Drogon.”That got my attention. “The dragon language?”She nodded once, eyes sharp. “Carved into stone. Hidden for centuries. Until now.”“And you found it?”“I didn’t say that” she said with a little smile. “I said I heard about it.”I narrowed my eyes. “But you know where it is
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 215. Four fathers
LiaBefore we got there, Matt shifted into a wolf.I stared at him.“Matt what the fuck.”Colby blinked. “Yeah seriously what the fuck.”“It’s a way to show that we mean business,” Matt said, snapping his teeth to make a point.I pinched the bridge of my nose.Matt was pretty intimidating in his wolf form, his black coat reflecting off the sunlight. His tail was lowered, ears flattened down onto his skull to show he meant business. Or he further meant business.I wanted to shame him, to tell him that we couldn’t do this. It was a bad idea to go in there guns blazing so to speak or for us to be shifted in our wolf forms. What it was going to do was make everyone look at us like we were going to lash out at them.“Matt, please shift back. As your omega and mother of your twins, I am asking you. Don’t you think you can do that for me?”Colby stifled a laugh. “Oh, that’s good. Use the fact that you are our omega. I think it would break even Jesse.”I looked at Jesse. He didn’t say anythin

RainIt was safe to say shit was getting real.I hated saying that shit was going to get real but this was what was happening.How was I not screaming, running back and forth, ready to pull my hair out with frustration? I didn’t know what to do. But I had to stay calm, especially with me being home with the kids right now.I was staying back with the twins while Matt, Jesse, Colby, and Lia went to talk with the coven. It had been my decision to stay back with the twins because I loved being around them.But it was also more than that. I couldn’t imagine myself stepping away from them while all this shit was going on. What kind of father would I be?No, I didn’t want to say that. That made it sound like the rest of the pack were bad parents for going. And that wasn’t fair. They were doing what needed to be done for all of us. For the kids, too.Still, I couldn’t help but feel this heavy weight in my chest at the thought of leaving them, even for a few hours. Every time I looked at Rowa
