(Elias) The next morning when I woke up I was feeling much better, thanks to Raina and forest for helping me. I didn't want to go back to the pack house because I loved it here, but Raina told me that Lilliana was asking for me and said she got mad at her for not being home. I didn't want to come between their friendship so it was better if I head back. ' remember you can visit anytime, just call for me and I'll get you here even if you want this place to yourself, it's yours now too.' I nodded my head as Raina went into serious mode. She was also unhappy that I was leaving, but I guess she'll get over it soon. ' and also remember if you need help with anything, don't hesitate in asking me. I'm your friend, well your only friend so that's what I'm here for.' I rolled my eyes as she continued to talk, I was on the verge of breaking her neck if she didn't shut up. Then she went on to ask me when my birthday was and when I got kicked out of my pack as if she didn't want me to leave so

(Ryker) " tell me elder Kodas, why is my son Ryland also feeling the pain my other son Ryker is experiencing? Does that mean he is also mated to Ryker's former mate?" My father asked as I lay there on the bed listening to their conversation. If I could I would have scoffed at such ridiculous speech, but the pain was getting so much harder to bear, rendering me speechless. I could only communicate using mind link at the moment which wasn't so bad right now. " there's only one way to find out. It's the first time I'm seeing this in all my sixty-five years of being here on earth, I have no idea how to explain it. Maybe elder Adela can give us some insight as to what is happening. You know she's known for her special gift." Dad groaned while shaking his head. He had this belief that the elders were fake, they claimed to hold such special gifts he was yet to see. He only had respect for them because they were higher in rank, so he had no other choice but to follow their orders. I on the

(Ryker) " s-so we have no other choice but to accept each other so Ryland can be ok?" I asked Andrea who nodded her head while looking between the mutt and I. I needed to stop calling him that, Lilliana already chastised me once within the short amount of time being here for calling him such a name. " it's really up to the both of you though, but that's not what I'm here for. The important part is to find out why this is also affecting Ryland. It seems to be affecting him even more than you." I looked at my twin who was still unconscious on the bed next to me. The pain was slowly eating me alive, I could feel at times when my mind would drift, not knowing what was real or fake anymore. That was the beginning of what was to come and it was up to us to stop it. " you are powerful, surely you must have seen why he's like that." Raina shot back as she glared at her aunt with despise written on her face. I wondered what that was all about. " oh my dear niece, no need to be jealous beca

(Ryker) After parting ways with Elias, I made my way to my brother's room in hopes of talking to him about this mess we had both landed ourselves in. I know that he probably had a lot of questions so I'm hoping to try and answer them as best as I could for him. Talking to Elias earlier, somehow brought on a new realization that I would have to try harder to win him over. I know that I fucked up our chance of ever having a relationship in the beginning when I wanted to kill him, when I sent him back to the forest to die. i am still confused about my sexuality, the bond between Elias, and I was stronger now, and it was making it hard for me to keep to myself. I was blaming the bond for making me follow him around like a lovesick puppy who could not be away from its master for too long. My parents were still pushing me, hoping to have Elias as our Luna/alpha but I wasn't sure if I like it or not. I knocked on my brother's door after announcing my presence and he told me to come in whic

(Ryker) " you know what's funny? For a minute there I thought I would have to share my mate with my brother. My twin at that. I guess Selene changed her mind at the last minute because that would be so fucked up." I said to my parents who were still a bit down because Ryland decided to leave. I get why he wanted to leave and I supported him a hundred percent, if it means getting him away from Elias then I'd do anything. But that was beside the point, even though ryland made a promise of being back within a year I already miss him. We didn't get along because of me, but I can't help but miss my brother the more I realized he wasn't going to be here. That he would be gone for quite sometime trying to find his second chance mate. " I know. You're the jealous type ryker, you and Ryland would butt heads over Elias so it was a good thing this didn't go in that direction. I'm just sad that he has to suffer because of this fucked up sitaution you are all in." Mom said as dad handed her a g
