Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 235. We’re yours
LiaTwo days. That’s all the warning we’d had. Two days to figure out what “center stage” meant. Two days to prepare for… whatever this was supposed to be.And now, the moon was rising, and my heart wouldn’t stop pounding.Hard to believe the blood moon was rising.What I wouldn’t give to be home. I wanted to be safe and home and not stuck outside in this strange world that made no sense. The twins were still sleeping right now. They were so innocent and just children.This was what bothered me the most. My children were going through this. The twins had been dealing with it wonderfully. Gemma and Rowan took everything in stride never complaining. I wished softly, brushing the curls out of one of their face.Behind me, I heard footsteps. Colby’s voice, light as always.“You know, staring at it won’t make it blink first, right?”I didn’t turn. “You’re not funny.”“Didn’t say I was. Just charming.”Rain plopped down on the ground behind me, stretching out like a cat with too many limbs.
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 234. Caged animal
RainWhen we got closer to the blood moon, the Spiritborn repeated the same shit about the twins. I hated it. It didn’t give us anything to go off of and just made it more complicated.How were we supposed to be constantly dealing with all this bullshit? I shook my head, wishing it could just be straightforward.Talking in riddles was not for me. I hated riddles.The Spiritborn vanished into mist, same as always—no follow-up, no clarity, just that damn echo of its voice hanging in the air like smoke.“There will be a blood moon,” it had said. “And the twins will be center stage.”That was it. No time. No place. No context. Classic.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing the clearing like a caged animal.“That’s it? That’s all it’s giving us?” I snapped. “A moon and a metaphor?”Matt leaned against a tree, arms crossed. “It’s not exactly known for clarity. Or personality. Or helpfulness. Honestly, I'm not convinced it even likes us.”“Yeah, well, if it hates us, maybe it could say that n
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 233. You’re five-four
LiaYes, the twins.Gemma and Rowan were stretched out like cats in the sun, completely content, like this bizarre, magical realm was their vacation spot instead of a twisted trial ground. Rowan had even braided a flower crown from some glowing vine-thing we’d found nearby and was now trying to convince Colby to wear it.“You’ll look majestic,” I said, laughing.“I’ll look ridiculous,” Colby replied, though he didn’t move away. “Also, it’s glowing. That can’t be normal.”“Normal doesn’t live here,” Matt muttered, lying back with his arms behind his head. “She packed up and left the minute we stepped through the portal.”Something was going on.Rain kept shifting every few seconds, like the ground was made of thorns or like he was trying to hide something. His eyes darted anywhere but toward me, which only made my suspicion grow.I narrowed my eyes at him. “Rain.”He froze mid-fidget. “What?”“What are you doing?”“Nothing.”“Uh-huh.” I sat up a little. “You look like you’re either abo
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 232. You are worthy
Jesse I glared at it, trying to keep my temper in check.Passed. Like this had been some kind of school exam. Like the pain, fear, and doubt we’d just crawled through could be reduced to a simple verdict.“You sure took your time,” Colby muttered, arms crossed.The Spiritborn didn’t react. Its expression—if you could call it that—remained unreadable, like it wasn’t quite human and didn’t care to pretend.“You were tested,” it said simply. “Not just for strength, but for unity. For trust. For truth.”Rain stepped forward. “We nearly broke.”“But you didn’t,” the Spiritborn replied. “That is what matters.”Matt shook his head, still looking skeptical. “So that’s it? We passed, and now what? You just sent us home?”“No,” the Spiritborn said, voice flat. “Now you choose.”“Choose what?” I asked, my voice sharp despite myself.“Whether you take what you have learned and grow from it... or fall back into what you once were.”It still meant that the curse was at large. The only thing that w
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 231. Stop fighting
MattThe paranoia was starting again. No matter how much I tried to fight it, it kept happening. This storm was getting more and more powerful. But we had to survive it without attacking each other. When giving us the rules the Spiritborn had made this clear.It was the paranoia we had to fight for a certain amount of time without killing each other in the process. I was trying to push the paranoia to the end, but it wasn’t working. All it was doing was making me angry.Rowan was with Colby. Colby took a step back when he saw the angry look in my eyes.“Matt, I do think you need to calm down.”“I don’t need to calm down. I’m fine.”He huffed. “Yeah, you're fine. Do you honestly think I believe that?”“No, but it doesn’t matter as long as I can convince you to believe it.”This was frustrating. Deep down, I knew everything was fine, but I could still see that person from my pack hanging around. He kept looking at Colby, smirking, and then at me. It was trying to convince me that I was
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 230. I trusted you
MattThis storm had come on suddenly. It didn’t sit well with me, making me uneasy. I wasn’t sure what to think.No one could be heard or seen. I had no idea where my pack was. Or where the kids were.Looking around again, I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Grumbling to myself, I wished that this could just be over. These fucking tests were so annoying. Didn’t the other test we did last time mean something? The trial had been difficult. Beyond difficult.I took a step forward, squinting through the heavy curtain of rain. Lightning cracked across the sky, momentarily illuminating the woods around me in stark white light. Trees groaned under the weight of the wind, and my instincts screamed at me that something wasn’t right. Not just the storm—something else.The air smelled off. Too clean, too sharp. Manufactured.A growl curled low in my throat as I moved forward, more cautious now. If this was part of the test, it was cruel. We were already frayed from the last one, and som
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 229. Fair warning
RainIt seemed to take forever, but finally the Spiritborn came back to life. I watched as it lit up and jumped up, my heart hammering in my chest. I was a fucking wreck right now, waiting for it to say something.This thing was deliberately trying to keep me in an anxious state. Why? I have no fucking idea but this was what it was trying to do. I was convinced of this.“Guys, do you see this?”Matt sighed. “Rain, we’ve been staring at this thing for over an hour now so of course we’re fucking seeing it.”“No need to get mad,” I muttered, pouting in Matt’s direction.Colby rolled his eyes. “Guys, don’t start. We need to make sure that we hear what it has to say so we can be prepared for the rest it is going to put us through.”Our pack leader, Colby, was right. Who the fuck knew what this thing was going to put us through. I hope I didn’t have to fight another shadow creature. Well, as long as it didn’t look like me, I wouldn’t mind fighting it. Just not another version of myself. Thi

LiaLooking around, I couldn’t help but feel this was partly my fault. I was the one who was always being tugged in every direction by fate. Now it was affecting the twins, my children, whom I loved more than anything.I looked at everyone, my gaze locking with Colby after he spoke.He stared back at me. Frowning, he shook his head.Colby knew what I was going to say. He was perspiring, so I could see the frustration and anger building on his face.Sighing, I shrugged at him. This was happening whether he liked it or not. I’m sorry to Colby, but I had to say this. I needed to be the one who stayed behind. They were going to take care of our children. This was never up for debate.Rain, Jesse, Colby, and Matt were going to be great fathers. Plus there was Simone and Gabi for a more of a feminine touch if one needed to be involved.Slowly, I took a breath and decided it was time to let go of the truth bomb I had been wanting to get off my chest for a while.“I’ll do it.”Everyone turned
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 227. Stress makes me hungry
ColbyThere had to be some way to lift this curse.We were still stuck here, after taking the initial trials and passing them, I might add. The Spiritborn hadn’t said anything. It remained quiet, not giving us any idea of what to do.Then the twins had these strange markings on their bodies, glowing eyes, and were speaking in a strange language. I had no idea if this was a part of the cures, but the reason for us being stuck here was because of that! It was making me frustrated, making me wonder what the fuck we were going to do.We needed answers, and who were we going to get those answers from? Well, from the Spiritborn, of course. It was the thing that held all the answers. Not my fault, it wasn’t giving me answers right now. Not anyone’s fault that it wasn’t giving us answers.So I was going to approach and ask some questions. It'd better give me something because all of us were getting frustrated, finding ourselves stuck here. We had only brought so many supplies. The longer we s
