251. Burning smoke

MattThe kids were doing their best to focus on their training. They were three years old, so there was only so much training they could do, for the most part, but it was something they were still trying to do.Had to give them some props for that. When I was there age, I was starting to be put into some training because my former pack was fucked up but the training they were going through was beyond crazy.I smelled smoke before I even opened the door.Not cooking smoke. Not candle smoke. Burning smoke.“Seriously?” I muttered, pushing into the den. “You’ve got to be—”Gemma and Rowan were crouched on the floor, a half-burned page smoldering between them, tiny flickers licking up the sides of what looked like—was that a summoning circle drawn in ink?“What the hell,” I snapped, crossing the room in three strides. “Gemma, Rowan—move.”Rowan blinked up at me. “It got ahead of us.”I blinked.These twins never sounded like three-year-old twins. We kept thinking this, but it never failed

252. Your ancestors

ColbyLife was getting complicated not only for the twins but also for me.I had been doing my best to make sure that all the supernatural races, from vampire to witch to dragon and wolf, were able to work together. Having an overall council that oversaw everyone was the thing we needed to do because it’s the best way of keeping everyone safe.The crazy part? It was fucking working.I leaned against the balcony railing, watching the lights flicker across the council building below. “It’s working,” I said, almost to myself.Lia turned toward me, brows raised. “What is?”“The plan,” I said, a little smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. “Getting the packs and covens and the rogue circles to sit down—talk. Work together. We’re building something. A higher council. Real representation.”She blinked, and then her smile bloomed so wide it hit me right in the chest.“I knew you could do it.”I laughed softly. “You sound surer than I ever was.”Leave it to Lia to compliment me during this

253. Silver lining

JesseI found her in the hallway, one hand pressed to the wall like she needed it to hold her up.“Lia,” I said, stepping closer. “You good?”She didn’t answer right away. Her eyes weren’t focused on me—more like they were staring through me. Then she whispered, “I’m having a vision.”I froze. “What do you see?”“Fire,” she said. “A forest burning. Everything’s ash. The trees are screaming, Jesse. And above it all... the stars are dying. Going dark. One by one.”I moved to her side, keeping my voice low. “Is it just a vision, or something more?”“I don’t know yet,” she murmured, still not fully here. “But it feels close.”I nodded slowly. “If you want, I can go drag Rain in. He’ll make some terrible jokes and probably trip over his shoelace. That usually makes the world feel a little less doomed.”She let out a soft laugh, small but real. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.” I hesitated, then added, “You’re not alone in this, Lia.”“I know,” she said, eyes finally meeting mine. “That’s why

254. Kids

LiaIt’s safe to say that I felt like a shitty mom. How the fuck had I forgotten to give my kids a third birthday party?To be fair, around the time of their birthday, we had found ourselves trapped in another world. Not exactly a minor scheduling conflict. We had spent what felt like weeks trying to claw our way back to our reality, even though barely a day passed here. Still, time had stretched, warped, and drained us—and when we finally got home, it was like we’d been spat out of a dream and slammed into chaos.Then, situation after situation kept piling up. The marks. Solen. The screaming. The glowing. Every damn moment added to the weight we were already carrying. Rain brought it up one afternoon, offhandedly mentioning the missing party while we were cleaning spell residue off the living room walls.I had gone pale. Like ghost-pale.He just stared at me. “You forgot, didn’t you?”“Shut up,” I whispered, already spiraling. “Oh my god. I forgot.”So that was it. That was the final

255. Making dinner

MattI was chopping carrots.That’s it. Just carrots.Normal. Very domestic. Very fine.Rain leaned against the doorway, watching me like I was a science experiment.“You’re going after those carrots.”“Just making dinner.”“You’re making confetti.”I glanced down. Okay, yeah. They were more shredded than sliced. Whatever.“I’m fine,” I said.Rain’s brows lifted. “You said that like someone who hasn’t been fine since the last full moon.”I kept chopping. “Everything’s under control.”“You mean the fire twins are having prophetic nightmares? The sky went purple last night. Or the part where Lia hasn’t slept in two days?”I stopped. Knife in midair. “Pick one.”Rain shrugged. “I vote for the sky. That was new. Also, mildly threatening. Like the universe discovered mood lighting and got carried away.”Silence stretched out. I wanted to say something. Couldn’t.Rain crossed the kitchen and grabbed a baby carrot from the bowl. “You know… sometimes when everything feels like it’s falling ap

256. The Sunless Realm

ColbyAfter those strange warnings, things got weirder. Gemma and Rowan came to us, saying they were being summoned to this Sunless Realm in their dreams. Not asked. Summoned. Like something was pulling them in, slowly and relentlessly. They said if they didn’t go, it would come to them. And if that happened, it could destroy the city.Then Lia had a vision.That sealed it.There was no debate after that, at least not in her mind. I could see it the second she came back from whatever nightmare she’d seen. Her eyes were distant, but not confused. Focused. Determined. That was somehow worse.I didn’t want to go to something called the Sunless Realm. The name alone made my stomach twist. We’d already been to one warped dimension before, when the twins had to unlock their full power. That place nearly broke us. The memories still clung to the edges of my sleep. And now it was starting all over again.I kept thinking the Spiritborn had to be guiding us toward this, preparing us in their cr

257. No eternal doom

RainGoing into the Sunless Realm was easy. Too easy. We went through a portal that the creepy little girl made for us and then stepped into this weird, cold, and dark realm.It was beautiful… not.I was shivering already, wrapping my jacket tighter around myself and wishing I’d worn five more layers. The air felt thin and wrong, like it had been filtered through a grave.What the fuck were we supposed to be doing here again?I looked around, eyes darting side to side. The ground was covered in something that looked like frost but moved slightly when I wasn’t watching it. The trees were black and twisted, almost like they were turning inward on themselves. And there was no sky…just a heavy, pulsing void above us that made my chest tighten if I stared too long.Gemma and Rowan pushed past me, walking ahead with their hands clasped together like they weren’t toddlers in the realm equivalent of a haunted house.I didn’t want to move from this spot. My boots were glued to the ground in fe

258. Big training montage

LiaIt was a lot of walking after we ran into that strange creature. More monsters showed up—shadowy, writhing things that didn’t move right—and the twins handled them like it was nothing. No hesitation. No fear. Just clean, easy power, like they’d been doing it their whole lives.Was this entire trip just one big training montage for them?I wasn’t sure. None of us were.Maybe we were here to prepare for Solen. Maybe this was just the final obstacle course before the real nightmare began. Either way, it felt like we were background characters in whatever mission the twins were on. Not leaders. Not even equals. Just extras trying not to get picked off before the final act.The worst part? We were stuck here.Stuck in the Sunless Realm. No doors. No way back. Just endless walking through fog and silence, waiting for something—anything—to tell us what the hell we were supposed to be doing besides “follow the toddlers.”Every so often, the air would shift. Thicken. A low hum would start

259. I don’t brood

JesseWaiting was worse than fighting.I leaned back against the railing, arms crossed, eyes on the horizon where nothing had happened—yet.“How long do we just… stand here?” Rain asked, flopping onto the porch swing like a bored kid.“As long as it takes,” I muttered.“That’s not a real answer,” he whined.Matt sat on the steps, sharpening a knife that didn’t need sharpening. “It’s the only answer we’ve got.”Rain groaned. “I’m going insane. Is that what Solen’s real power is? Just... psychological warfare via boredom?”Colby glanced up from where he was fixing his gauntlet. “If it is, he’s winning.”Rain was getting on my nerves, but he tended to do that. I cast an annoyed look at him over my shoulder, but tried to ignore him.I did want Solen to just hurry up and get it over with. Let it attack so the twins could do their thing.The one reason I didn’t dare say this out loud was because I didn’t want to worry Lia. She was taking this hard enough as it was. Worried over the twins lo

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
