Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 245. Predator watching
LiaAfter spending the day together, I thought everything was going to be okay. Deciding I needed a break, I headed outside and went on the porch. I froze mid-step on the porch, the hairs on the back of my neck standing up like they’d been yanked. My skin prickled.Something was going on. I looked around, unable to believe what was happening. There was something out there. Something is the keyword here.Someone was watching. I couldn’t believe it.Why was someone watching?I narrowed my eyes, scanning the tree line. The porch light only reached so far, casting long shadows that danced with the breeze. Beyond that, it was just black.My pulse quickened. I wasn’t alone out here.“Show yourself,” I muttered, barely above a whisper.Nothing moved.The air felt heavy, thick with something I couldn’t name. Not magic. Not exactly. But wrong.I took a step forward, listening. The boards creaked beneath me, and that’s when I heard it—too soft for normal ears. A breath. Not mine.Quickly, I loo

LiaWe were all gathered in the living room, the kind of rare evening where nobody was bleeding, training, or running off to fight something with too many teeth. Just us. Safe. Together.It was one of those moments where we needed a break and damn it, we would have one!I looked around at them—my mates, the twins curled up with a blanket on the floor, even Rain behaving for once—and I felt this tightness in my chest. The good kind. The kind that made everything else worth it.I leaned back into the couch, a blanket across my legs, and let it soak in.No alarms. No blood. No monsters. Just breathing the same air, under the same roof, with people who had bled beside me and stayed. If this was peace, it was jagged and borrowed—but it was ours. And for tonight, that was enough.“We should do something,” I said suddenly, sitting up.I wanted just a chance for us to be able to relax and not worry about whatever was lurking in the darkness. Could you blame me for that? I'm certain you couldn

ColbyThe thing that had been on my mind was simple. I wanted to talk with the councils and see if I could convince them all to unite under one group rather than have separate communities.Look at every time we faced danger. It ended up throwing us into chaos and costing lives. The easiest thing to do would be for all of us to come together and ensure we could fight as one. Not fighting as one was going to fuck us over—almost more than we already were.We kept reacting. That was the problem. Always scrambling, always trying to fix things after they broke. There was never a plan, never a backup, just blood and magic and too many funerals. I was tired of seeing people I cared about get hurt because someone else didn’t pick up the damn phone when it mattered.Unity wasn’t just a dream. It was a necessity. A network, a shared strategy—hell, even just a regular meeting where people listened. We didn’t have to love each other, but we did have to survive together.And if that meant sitting d
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 242. Take your time
ColbyTwo days after we arrived back home, we decided to take a walk. The twins were with us, glowing, giggling, and making random objects float as they waddled ahead of us like a pair of magical fireflies. It was subtle, but it hit me then: they were showing their powers more and more, without even realizing it.I had suggested a hike to a nearby mountain, about an hour outside the city. Normally, I wouldn’t have entertained the idea of hiking up rocky terrain with twin three-year-olds. But these weren’t ordinary kids, and the truth was they needed to practice.So we went.The trail was quiet, shaded with tall trees and birdsong. When we reached the clearing near the summit, I took Gemma’s hand, then Rowan’s, guiding them toward a thick, sturdy-looking tree.“Just focus on your energy,” I told them gently, kneeling beside them. “Feel it build up and throw it at the tree. It should fall over.”They stared at the tree, wide-eyed, like I’d just asked them to move a mountain instead. I o
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 241. I missed you
LiaWe were finally home.The twins woke up about a day after Colby and I were able to spend some quality time together. I was thrilled when they woke up, giving me a chance to hug them and tell them I loved them.They were a little confused, asking me why I was acting strange. Snorting, I gave them each a look. The two of them were so small but so mature for their age. Sometimes it was hard to wrap my mind around, but there was nothing I could do.This was how my twins were, and there was no denying it. I just had to try to be there for them as best I could.But right then, I wanted to focus on going home. The twins were able to easily create a portal, all of us stepping through. When we were finally back home, I stared at the house.How long had we been gone?It didn’t seem like any time had passed. I fished my phone out of my bag, having brought it with me. But it didn’t work while in another realm. It said that it was just a day after we had left.A day.We had only been gone a da
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 240. Don’t test me
RainThe fire crackled quietly in the center of the camp, casting flickering shadows across everyone’s tired, dirt-smeared faces. The twins were curled up together in a tangle of blankets, snoring softly like they hadn’t just channeled some ancient prophecy horror twenty-four hours ago.I wanted to go home. All of us wanted to go home but there was nothing else we could do but wait.This had been such a clusterfuck of a trip but it wasn’t like we did this because it was a pleasure cruise or something. It was a situation where we had no choice but to wait until the twins woke up.I did try to reach back out to Spiritborn, hoping it would help us get home, but it didn’t answer or even show up. At least if it showed up, I could hope it might answer our question, but it never showed up. This was something that didn’t sit right with me, to be honest.Jesse was propped up against a log, arms crossed, looking like he was trying not to look like he was in pain.“You done dying yet?” I asked,

MattThe twins stood at the edge of the circle, their eyes glazed over with that eerie, glowing light that always meant trouble.While the Spiritborn said the curse was lifted, I wasn’t able to be happy about what it said, because the twins looked more than a little eerie. They weren’t just glowing, they were... buzzing. Like their magic couldn’t quite figure out how to sit still inside them, like something way too big was rattling around in bodies way too small.And look, I’m not an expert in mystical prophecy aftermaths, but when someone starts levitating slightly off the ground, that usually means something didn’t go according to plan.“Um,” I said, gesturing with both hands toward the twins like a confused game show host, “this doesn’t look like a ‘curse lifted’ situation. This looks like a ‘curse evolved into something worse’ situation.”Lia stepped forward, slow and cautious. “Guys? Can you hear me?”They didn’t answer.One of them—honestly, I still couldn’t tell them apart when

RainThis was like some weird video game where waves of enemies kept coming at you. I couldn’t believe that they just kept coming and coming. What the fuck was going on?Jesse was still injured but at least he was healed to an extent. The twins were fine, still in the weird circle. What the fuck was taking this ritual so long anyway?I looked around, hands on my hips, squinting through the smoke and debris.“Okay, so… no more bad guys?” I spun in a slow circle. “No ominous chanting, no more fireballs flying at our faces, no backup armies hiding in the trees?”Everyone stared at me.“I’m just saying,” I continued, pointing dramatically at the empty battlefield. “Looks clear to me. Soooo… the ritual can continue, right?”Silence.Then, in unison:“Shut up, Rain!”—from everyone.I flinched. “Ow. Rude.”Colby glared at me. “Read the room, man.”“I am reading it! The room is saying, ‘Hey Rain, thank you for your excellent observational skills. Please proceed with the extremely important l
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 237. You two are the worst
ColbyWe thought everything was over and done with until a second wave of enemies seemed to pop out of nowhere, attacking us without warning. I heard this sound and turned, freezing when I felt something lashing out at me.Then someone jumped out at me. Actually, it was Jesse who jumped in front of me to take the blow, taking me by surprise. I couldn’t believe that he was doing that or had done that.Jesse hit the ground like a sack of bricks, smoke curling up from the singed edges of his jacket. The spell had cracked through the air like lightning—fast, bright, and fatal. He’d shoved me out of the way just in time, and now he was the one gasping on the ground like his lungs had forgotten how to work.As much as I wanted to drop ot my knees and see if he was okay, I had to ensure that we wouldn’t get attacked again.The rest of us still standing, attacked however had fired at us. It was touch and go for awhile but we were able to kill them. They fell to the ground, letting out this no
