Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 224. Make it two stars
MattWaiting for it to call me was driving me crazy. I groaned, running a hand through my thick curls.“Why is it taking so long? I’m the only one left.”Lia came up beside me, putting a gentle arm around my shoulders. “It’s probably just gathering its power or something. Notice it had to do this one-on-one, allowing itself to almost recharge. This is how it came off to me.”I huffed. “You could be right, but it just makes this entire thing feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.”My eyes kept drifting back over towards the Spiritborn. It still hadn’t lit up. I sighed, glancing at the twins who kept falling in and out of sleep. They were doing good, keeping calm and being much better at this situation than the adults.How did they do it?I don’t know, but it was something tying them to Ashroot. This was why we were here in the first place, trying to find out what was reaching out to the twins. Had I been in their position, I would’ve been a fucking wreck, and I was saying th
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 223. Their expectations
JesseThe creature turned and looked at me. It didn’t say anything, but it was still staring at me.I knew it was going to say my name. This was obvious from the way it was staring at me.My mind was spinning, wondering what I might face when I was in there. Everyone had dealt with their version of hell. I was going to have to do the same.The creature still hadn’t spoken, and somehow, that made it worse. Like it was giving me time to unravel myself before it even opened its mouth.But bravery felt like a joke when your name was about to be carved into the air by a monster that saw straight into your soul.Then its mouth—or whatever passed for one—opened.And it began to speak.“Jesse Morelli. Step forward.”Great, it was me, but I always knew it was going to be me. Why was I even surprised at this point?I exhaled slowly, already halfway to my feet before the Spiritborn even finished saying my name.Matt clapped me on the shoulder as I passed. “Don’t make it look too easy, yeah?”I s
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
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 221. Decisions
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
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 216. You can read Drogon
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
