I could sense a fight coming on. The guys were all rigid in their seats, trying to pretend that the sound of Lia lying there, squirming in her seat wasn’t getting to us. For myself, I was throbbing, trying to ignore the blood rushing to my groin.

Something had to be done and if I was going to be the first person to say it, then so be it. Someone had too.

“We need to figure out what we are going to do,” I muttered, voice gruff.

The rain cleared his throat. “I assumed we were all going to… you know… help her through her heat.”

“Yes, but who will go first?” Matt muttered.

“I mean, there’s no reason we have to go one at a time…” Colby said, causing me to sigh.

I rolled my eyes. “Do you realize how complicated you are all making this be? We’ll take turns helping us through her heat. Right now she is going through the thick of it so she is going to need more than one of us—if not all of us.”

“I think you guys are all handsome, but I don’t swing that way.”

Everyone turned to Rain, glari

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   265. End

    LiaMonths passed. It had been a year since the whole incident with Solen. The twins were four years old, and they were doing great.I looked at the twins, watching them play outside.While there were still issues, they had adjusted perfectly. I was glad that they were making friends with other kids in the neighborhood, doing their best to live a normal life. It was the only thing I wanted. For my kids to have a good life.I was also working, our city, ensuring that species now worked together and weren’t kept apart. Somehow, it was working. Things weren’t perfect, but it was working. Something that I hoped we could keep up for a long time.Then I started feeling sick in the mornings. My breasts felt swollen, and I had body aches. Don’t even get me started on the moodiness that was affecting me, making me crazier than normal.It could only mean one thing: I was pregnant.To think that I was pregnant again was terrifying.The last time I had children, I ended up with twins who had to f

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   264. Enjoying it

    RainThings were back to normal, or about as normal as they could get for us. I loved normal. Normal was nice. Normal meant that we could just relax and have a peaceful life. It was fucking great.Everyone seemed to be enjoying it too.The twins were back to bickering over which cereal tasted better and trying to convince me that bedtime was a suggestion, not a rule. I’d take that over glowing eyes and soul-binding chants any day.We had meals without interruptions. We laughed again. There was music. There were lazy mornings and quiet walks in the woods. No shadows whispering from trees. No portals tearing open the sky. Just us—upset, bruised, but still here.Still whole.I flopped down on the couch and let my entire body melt into the wood.“I swear,” I muttered, “if another ancient evil wakes up in the next twenty-four hours, I’m faking my death and moving to a small, non-haunted island.”Matt walked up beside me and sat down with a quiet grunt. “Make room. I’m coming with you.”I s

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   263. We need a photo

    LiaIt happened on a quiet morning when nothing else was happening. I woke up to a sunny day and a clear sky. The birds were singing. The twins were still asleep, tangled in blankets at the foot of my couch. For a moment, everything felt normal, peaceful, even. I remember thinking how rare that was.For Solen to appear like this, on such a wonderful day, seemed almost fitting. Almost cruel.He must’ve planned it. He had to have. Striking not in the middle of chaos, but in the calm, when our guard was down, when we were most vulnerable. When we might forget, just for a second, that monsters still walked in shadows. That they had names. That they wanted what we loved most.The moment I stepped outside, I felt it. The shift. The air didn’t smell different, not exactly, but something had soured in it. The wind weighted it, a stillness too unnatural to ignore. Birds had stopped singing. The world had gone eerily quiet, like it was holding its breath.“Guys, it’s time!”The Moonveil pack we

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   262. Keep your distance

    LiaWhen Matt told us, I panicked.The twins must’ve heard us, so we ran out and decided to split up.“They ran, Rain,” I snapped as we hurried down the corridor. “This wasn’t a game or some moody stroll. They ran.”Rain jogged beside me, slightly out of breath. “Okay, yes, I got that from the running part. I’m just saying—maybe they panicked.”“Or maybe they finally snapped,” I muttered. “It’s been building.”“You think?”“They’re kids, Rain. Scared, powerful kids. And now they’re out there alone.”“Well, technically, they’re out there together. So… half a point?”“Rain.”“Okay, okay, zero points. I’m just trying to keep it light.”I stopped, turning sharply into another hallway. “Why do you always do that?”“What?”“Joke when you’re nervous.”He blinked. “Because if I don’t joke, I scream. Want me to try that instead?”“No. I’d rather not echo through the halls like a haunted kazoo.”He grinned. “See? That was kind of a joke. You’re learning.”I didn’t smile.Rain’s face sobered. “Y

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   261. Your funeral

    MattLia wanted answers, so obviously we had to go talk to the witches. The last thing I wanted to do was deal with the witches' council, but we didn’t have a choice at this point.Witches knew about ancient shit. So did vampires, but this was more of a witch thing.Colby’s unity council was still in the process of being created, so right now we had to be separate.“This place gives me hives.”Lia shot me a look. “We haven’t even gone inside yet.”“Yeah, and I already want to turn around.”She paused at the tall iron gate, glancing up at the tower beyond. “They’re our best chance at answers.”“I know,” I muttered. “Doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.”“Matt.”“I am cooperating. This is my cooperative face.”“That’s your ‘I-hate-this-and-I m-going-to-burn-it-down-later’ face.”“Semantics.”The gate creaked open before we even touched it. I tried not to flinch. Didn’t work.“Great. They already know we’re here. Love that.”“They’re witches. It’s kind of their thing.”We stepped in

  • Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates   260. Risky situation

    ColbyAfter the strange incidents with the twins, portals were opening all over the city, with strange creatures coming out. It was getting tense. People didn’t even want to leave their homes anymore.I kept wondering when Solen was finally going to make an appearance. He was biding his time, sending his underlings to make things chaotic for us. Was it a distraction? Some elaborate setup so that when he did strike, we’d be too worn down to fight back?The twins were being kept at home for good now. It was the safest place for them, or at least that’s what we told ourselves. People kept experiencing weird, dangerous episodes just from interacting with them. Twisted visions, memory gaps, and bursts of raw emotion that didn’t belong to them. It made for a strange and increasingly risky situation.Sometimes the twins would ask about it. Why was this happening? Why did people look at them like that? Why couldn’t they go outside anymore? We couldn’t give them answers, not real ones. All we
