All Chapters of Mated To The Lycan Twins: Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

Marabella POV Brax and I crossed through the portal, the magic stripping from us both. I gasped at the lightness it left me with—and the darkness. The weight of it was gone, but the shadows grew inside me as if they recognized where we were. I didn’t.It was so dark, darker than our white winter that consisted of constant night. It was as if every space had a shadow. I shivered as the cold bit into my skin through my clothes. Brax brushed up against me, his lips landing on my cheek.“We’ve got to get in the water,” he said, his own lips blue.The cliffs were dark; the water was ominous and black. I hesitated, fear trickling through me as my shadows filled every part of me.Whispers in the air had me spinning, but it was only the forest behind me, dark and terrifying. The forest seemed alive with things my human eyes couldn’t see.The purple magic of the portal was like a film in the air, and I chewed my lip.“Will anything be able to get through?” I asked.Brax shook his head. “No, n

Marabella POVThey were almost giddy, like they were being let out to play, and it was kind of adorable. I missed being able to use them while I was pregnant. I had been relying so much on magic that it was kind of refreshing not to be able to.My shadows moved fast, searching the tunnels, racing Brax’s in a game they played together. I smiled at Brax, and he grabbed my hand, helping me over bigger rocks that blocked the path more than the rest. I could’ve done it myself, but I liked his touch too much to refuse the hand extended to me.We came up on a wall of rock that took more time to move, and just as we cleared the path enough to squeeze through, there was an enormous roar through the caves. I shrunk back from it, the echoing throbbing in my eardrums as I covered my ears.The cliffs shook, the caves threatening us with dropping rubble and rock, showering us in dust. I brushed myself off as my shadows raced back inside of me, urging me forward. I peered through the dust and follow

Marabella POV Blood trickled into the water, leaving a trail behind us as Brax hauled me up toward the surface, dodging the black spikes in the lake bed once again.He almost got us there too. The lake surface was close enough to touch when something wrapped around my ankle again. I didn’t struggle; I didn’t even try to fight it because I thought we had an accord with the friendly shadows. But that was my mistake.Whatever had me was not the same shadows, and its touch burned, searing my flesh.“Brax!” I screamed through the water as another black shadow grabbed him before he reached the surface. He fought them off, but a heaviness filled me, a lead feeling.My shadows were quiet as I was pulled back down to the spikes, my skin brushing against them.The second it did, my body erupted. Fire filled everything inside me, and not in the same way it did when I was with my alphas. This was pure heat, like lava in a volcano erupting inside me.My organs, my veins, and my flesh were on fire

Marabella POVBrax was sore, like Jayden said, and all I could do was reassure him it was misplaced, and I fed that through the link to him and the others strongly at Jayden. Jordan came through holding Enzi with Jayden and Tabby behind.“The beast came through,” Jayden murmured, and I swallowed.“And? Did it find Adrenna yet?”Jordan shook his head.“No, but it sniffed the air then took off, so I think it’s got her scent. The wolves are tracking it, but the thing is fast,” Jordan shook his head. I stood up and pulled Enzi into my arms, holding her, missing her little body against mine.I let it soothe my head for a minute so I could figure out what to do next. I had no idea whether the beast would hurt Zale to get to Adrenna or whether Adrenna had a fail-safe in case she got caught.That meant the only way to make sure nothing happened was to follow the beast as it chased her. Do not camp out and wait.“We need to get ready to move. We’ll pack the camp up later, and only take what we

Marabella POV My shadows brought Zale back to me, and I curled him in, holding him tight, tears slipping from my eyes as the lump in my throat made a sob fall from my lips.“I found you, baby. I got you. I’m so sorry,” I whispered to him, kissing his forehead as he slept soundly.“Please, no! I didn’t hurt him! I wasn’t going to give him to Silas!” Adrenna begged as the wolves fought her. She did a good job at fighting them, keeping them away with her magic, but she was weak with the beast there.He kept her fear so strong, that it made her reckless, defeatable. Brax stood beside me, Enzi in his arms as she squirmed.“She knows he’s back.” Brax smiled and put her close to him. She wound her hand around his and Zale’s eyes slowly fluttered open. He looked up at me, and my heart filled. I finally felt whole.More tears fell as a warmth spread through my body. I wasn’t letting them go again.Not for anyone.I walked over to Adrenna, who was still lashing out, the beast waiting for his c
