Abigail PhillipsI know these chapters have been hard to read. I wouldn't normally post a comment like this because I feel it's sort of a spoiler, but, I fear if I don't put this comment here, some may rage quit right before the book blooms and gets good. Please trust me. I haven't let you down yet. I promise what happens in the next two chapters (this is a double update) is the only bad thing that happens to the twins.

The Darkness Within Chapter 30 The Darkroom
Third Person's POV Ollie had never been so terrified and humiliated in his life. It all happens so fast. He begged and pleaded, but before he knew it, his mate had him stripped naked and face down on the chair in the middle of the room. The back of the chair had been laid flat, and his chest lay flush against it. His hands were strapped to two bars below his face, and his knees rested on red padding that sat lower and off to each side, making it as if he were kneeling with his legs spread open. He lays completely exposed, with his penis and balls hanging off the table and his cheeks spread open from his position. His whole body lays on display as tears flow from his eyes. His ass cheeks sting and burn. He's not sure how many times Anton hit him with the crop. Ollie's body jerks when he feels several strands of something gliding along his body. It feels much different than the crop. It's surprisingly soothing and feels good. The little strands lightly trailed along his back, neck,

Third Person's POV When Ollie opened the door to leave the dark room, he found his brother crying on the floor. Leo jumped to his feet and threw his arms around Ollie's neck.“I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!” Leo cried.The Omega pulled back and looked his brother over. “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” “I don't know… I don't know,” Ollie's voice trembled, and his lip quivered before tears began to fall. The Omega was confused. He didn't know what just happened. He thought his mate hurt him. If he hurt him, then why did his body react that way? He must not have hurt him if his body found pleasure in it. His back, thighs, and ass hurt, but yet he came from it. He was embarrassed, ashamed, and humiliated, yet his body seemed to like what Anton did to him. Why? The Omega wondered. Ollie began to wonder if he was just as sick and twisted as Anton. He was ashamed of himself. He couldn't bring himself to tell his brother what happened. They both gasped and grabbed each

Third Person's POV Brandon roared when Anton pierced his hand into his side. He grunts, fighting the urge to cry out when Anton twists his hand inside the wound. Leo and Ollie jump onto Anton's back. Ollie wraps his arm around his mate's neck and pulls back as hard as he can. Leo sinks his canines into Anton's neck, and the Alpha finally lets go of his mate. His hand slips from Brandon's body as he's pulled backward. Brandon immediately applied pressure against the wound. The Alpha growls when Leo bites deeper. Anton reaches back, grabs Leo's head, and pulls forward as hard as he can, flipping the Omega over his head and slamming him to the ground. He ignores his mate, who is still clinging to his neck. He reaches down and grabs Leo with his left hand while drawing his right hand back. Everything goes black for Leo when the Alpha's fist connects with his face.Brandon watched, horrified, as his brother punched his mate. He scrambles to his feet but slips in his own blood, and by th
Last Updated : 2024-11-24The Darkness Within Chapter 33 Let's go home
Third Person's POV Leo stood back as his mate, Father, and Alpha Grayson talked to Mark in the hallway. His mind was reeling with everything that happened, how his mate fought for him and his brother, what his brother lost, and knowing nothing was keeping them there any longer. Leo looked around and knew he couldn't spend another night in this place. He knew once he left, he would never come back; he couldn't. He hated this place, all the way down to the color of the paint. Tears filled Leo's eyes when he realized what he must do. His chest tightened, and his breath stuttered when he looked up and saw his mate in the hall talking to Mark. He's so handsome. He's so big, strong, and muscular but so soft, like a teddy bear with him. Brandon has tried so hard. He knows Brandon loves him. He can see it when he looks into his eyes and feels it each time Brandon touches him. Tears rolled down Leo's face even faster when Brandon turned and looked into his eyes. He saw the concern in Brando
Last Updated : 2024-11-25The Darkness Within Chapter 34 Healing
Third Person's POV Being back home never felt so good. Somehow, it helps ease the ache inside Ollie's chest. Leo tried to stay in the room with him, but Ollie knew his brother needed to be with his mate. He knew now that their nightmare was over, his brother and Brandon could finally bond the way they should have. They can't do that if they're sleeping in separate rooms. Also, Ollie wanted some time alone. He needed time alone with his thoughts. He needed time to process everything that had happened. Being home is finally allowing him to do that. Now that everything is sinking in, the red flags are so much brighter and louder. He knows he should have never stayed there and left with his parents when they returned home. When Ollie looks in the mirror, he looks the same, but yet he doesn't. Somehow, he looks different. He doesn't recognize the person staring back at him. “Here, sweetie, why don't you come have a little before we go down?” Theo said as he scooped buffalo chicken dip i
Last Updated : 2024-11-26The Darkness Within Chapter 35 EJ
Third Person's POV Leo ran after his brother while the large bear shifter was left behind, shocked and confused. Leo banged on the bathroom door, begging his brother to open it. “Ollie, please answer me. Let me in so we can talk,” Leo said but was met with silence. Leo frowned as he knocked on the door again. He jumped when a hand touched his shoulder. “Can I try?” EJ asked, and the Omega stepped aside.EJ stood in front of the door for a moment before lifting his hand and knocking on the door twice.“Ollie, it's me, EJ. Can you open the door, please?” EJ asked, but just like Leo, he received no reply. “Ollie, I don't know everything you went through, but I would never hurt you. Please, let me in sweetheart.”EJ’s heart began to beat faster when he heard Ollie unlock the door. A moment later, the door slowly creaked open. EJ’s eyebrows knit together when he doesn't see the Omega. He slowly steps into the bathroom, and when he peeks behind the door, his heart skips a beat when he
Last Updated : 2024-11-27The Darkness Within Chapter 36 An Alpha Bear
Third Person's POV EJ sat down in a wicker rocking chair on the patio. He thought for sure this was a dream. It had to be! After everything he'd been through, after all the packs he searched, after falling for this Omega just to realize he wasn't his, and now he suddenly is... Is this really happening? EJ keeps wondering if he's going to wake up alone. If this is just another elaborate dream that he's had one too many times. But when the Omega tickles his neck as he happily and eagerly scents himself against his scent gland, an act that screams loud and clear who he belongs to, It causes his breath to stutter and his eyes to close as his head dips to the Omega's neck and kisses it. His heart swells when he feels a shiver run through his Omega. The touch of his lips works its magic through the magical thing called the mate bond.It felt surreal to finally press his lips to this beautiful little Omega as much as he wanted instead of limiting himself to his head, forehead, or cheek onc
Last Updated : 2024-11-28The Darkness Within Chapter 37 Heart to Heart
Third Person's POV “So, does this mean you're moving to this pack?” Anders asked.“What? Why would you ask that?”“Well, because his identical twin and their triplet brother live in this pack. I highly doubt Ollie is going to want to leave his triplet brothers. Especially not after what he just went through.” Anders said, and EJ looked down. “I. I never thought of that. I didn't plan on moving. I mean, I finally got my dream position! It took me forever to become a captain. I worked so hard for that… shit! I didn't think of that.” The memory of his conversation with Anders won't stop playing in EJ's head, not even as he carries his sleepy and adorable mate up the stairs. He watches the Omega yawn and rubs his eyes before nuzzling his cheek with his nose. EJ's heart swelled. Could the Omega possibly be any cuter? The Alpha wondered. EJ stopped behind Xavier while he opened the door to the apartment. He caressed the Omega's back as he nuzzled his neck, and then followed Xavier down t

The Darkness Within Chapter 59 Movie night
Third Person's POV Thaddeus chose their spot, a snuggle chair in the second row. He lifted the blanket and opened his arms when his Omega approached. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled, even in the darkness. Aiden crawled into his Alpha's lap and snuggled in against his chest. Thaddeus' fingers press against the underside of his chin and tilt Aiden's head back. The Omega's heart skips when their eyes meet. “Hi, sweetheart,” Thaddeus said, and Aiden melted. “Hi,” He whispered, and his eyes fluttered closed when Thaddeus captured his lips.Thaddeus groaned when he tasted his mate's kiss. His strong tongue wrapped around the Omega's, twisting and twirling, caressing Aiden's tongue and leaving him breathless…Vanessa looked away when they kissed. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. All this love and sappiness wasn't something she was used to. She wondered if it was the mate bond that made them so sappy and lovey-dovey. She thought it had to be the bond, because Aero was never affection
The Darkness Within Chapter 58 Family Night
Kyle's POV I'm a nervous wreck as I walk to his room. My palms are sweating and my heart is racing. I know I'm early, but it's better to be early than late. I stop in front of his door and am suddenly more nervous than ever. My stomach twists in knots as I try to find the strength to raise my hand and knock on the door. When I finally did, I nearly had a heart attack when the door opened before my hand touched it. “Oh, hey! What are you doing here?” He asked, and my stomach dropped. Did I hear him wrong earlier? Maybe he forgot, or changed his mind. I felt stupid and wanted to disappear.“Oh, I-I thought you were going to the movies with me?” I said, stepping back and ready to walk away. “I am! What I meant was I was getting ready to come get you. Now I don't get to impress you by picking you up,” he said as he stepped into the hall and pulled the door closed. I felt a rush of excitement and my heart beat faster. He wanted to impress me! “So, where's this theater at?” Kevin asked
The Darkness Within Chapter 57 Working together
Kyle's POV I'm surprised I was able to focus with Kevin around. It was only when I had to look at him that I became a fumbling mess. It also didn't help in the least bit when he spoke. His voice was so smooth and just the right tone. It wasn't soft, but it wasn't deep, it was perfect! It sent a shiver down my spine each time his voice broke the silence. I wondered if anyone else could see how much his voice affected me; I hope they couldn't. “Kyle, I hate to do this, but I really have to go,” my assistant Carla said, turning away from the slides and stretching. “Any other time, I'd stay until you kick me out, but my terrified mate is finally starting to warm up to me. I promised him a special evening tonight. I'm going all out for dinner. I'm making prime rib. He's never had anything like that before. I don't want to go back on my word. You know how hard that is for abused Omegas. Our word is everything until they fully trust us,” Carla said, reminding me of her newly rescued mate,
The Darkness Within Chapter 56 Botner
Third Person's POV “Has anyone ever told you you smell weird?” The annoying thing in the seat behind Maverick asked. The Omega in the seat behind Maverick hasn't stopped talking since the moment they pulled away from the pack house. He began to regret begging to go with Coal. What made it worse was Coal saw his regret and misery. The little shit was smirking every time he looked at him. “Has anyone ever told you you're annoying?” “All the time!” Noah said happily, a smile beaming on his face as though he had just given him a compliment. Maverick groaned and glanced in the backseat at the other Omega. “So, you're some kind of plant expert, huh?” Maverick said, hoping to shut the other one up. Kyle smiled as he turned his head away from the window and looked at Maverick. “Yes, I guess you can say that. I'm a botner!” “Are we taking you there so you can check out their garden?” “Yes. I asked them to collect samples from all of their crops. I'm also going to take samples from the
The Darkness Within Chapter 55 Hope
Third Person's POV “I don't know, what if it doesn't work? It's going to make it worse. You'll hurt him even more,” Asher said as he dragged his hand down his face and began pacing. “If it fails, I'll take full responsibility, but I don't think it will. I know he's in there. I just know it!” Michael said, pulling Asher to a stop, kissing the side of his face, and then pushing him toward the trees. “Make sure he doesn't see you,” Michael said before turning to face the warrior with Alpha blood. He looked more nervous than Asher. “I, I don't know about this. I-I, what if he doesn't stop?” “Calm down! Don't worry about him, I will. You just focus on your job, and that's hurting me as much as you can,” Michael said, and the Alpha swallowed thickly.The warrior looked into the woods and prayed Asher would keep his word. He looked forward, looked at Michael, and swallowed before quickly moving forward and landing a solid punch to Michael's face. ~Noah held the little girl in his arms,
The Darkness Within Chapter 54 Good Morning
Third Person's POV The Omega didn't sleep in his tent like they had planned, but he did sleep in his Alpha Bear's arms. Truthfully, as fun as the idea of sleeping in the tent was, there was no other place he'd rather sleep than in the arms of his Alpha.The morning sun rays shined into the room, reaching onto the bed and warming the Omega's exposed skin. He feels the warmth of his Alpha's body, which he's curled up tightly to. Ollie’s head rests on his chest, his right leg draped over EJ, and the Alpha's strong arms are wrapped around him.He feels the warmth of the sun on his back, and it slowly wakes him. The Omega lifts his head and looks down at his Alpha's sleeping face. His heart flutters as he looks down at him. He's so handsome. His chest is so muscular. The peaks of his chest are massive, and the ripples of his stomach are present even as he sleeps. His facial hair is just long enough to run his fingers through. He loves how it's longer on his chin and shorter as it rises up
The Darkness Within Chapter 53 A day together
Third Person's POV Both Omegas lie in their tent with their heads hanging out so they can look up at the sky. Their arms are hooked together as they talk.The twins spent the entire day together, starting just before breakfast. They did everything from breakfast to a run through the forest in their beautiful brown bears, which are much smaller than their fathers and mates, to lunch in town at their favorite diner before visiting their friends. At first, Ollie was quiet and timid, but the longer they were together, the more the Omega relaxed. The more he relaxed, the more the old Ollie emerged. Getting the smaller Omega to begin pulling pranks didn't take much convincing. The Omegas giggled as Ivy chased them out of the pack house, where they stumbled over each other and rolled in the grass in a fit of laughter.Somewhere along the lines, Ollie began to find himself again. What happened in that room didn't leave him, but it no longer consumed his every thought, it no longer defined h
The Darkness Within Chapters 52 Movie Night
Third Person's POV EJ leaned his head back in the shower and sighed as the hot water rained down on his aching muscles. Anders kicked his ass on the training field this morning before helping him move all of his stuff to Ollie's pack. EJ didn't realize how much crap he had accumulated over the years, it was way more than he realized. He lost count of how many times he went up and down those stupid stairs, and not just at River Pack, but at his new one, too. It wouldn't have been so bad if Anders didn't wipe the field with body beforehand, not to mention the chunk his stupid bear almost took out of his ass when he tried to walk away from him. The stupid jerk laughed at him every time he saw him wince.Steam poured out of the shower as EJ stepped out, wrapping a towel around his waist and then grabbing a second towel to dry his hair. EJ rubs his hand on the mirror so he can see. He looks down and sees a box filled with Ollie's stuff that he hasn't unpacked yet. The Alpha smiles and op
The Darkness Within Chapter 51 Poison
Third Person's POV The Omega sits in the window as meditation music plays behind him. The sun warms his pale skin that is only covered in a large oversized white t-shirt and black shorts. His bare feet are tucked under one of the cushions and pressed against the cool wood below it. His arms are wrapped tightly around his legs, and his cheek rests against his knees. He stares outside, watching people go in and out of the woods. He can tell which ones have recently shifted; their hair is a mess, and they're either wearing shorts or sweatpants. Every now and then, he hears the howl of a wolf running free in the woods. He closes his eyes and pictures his own wolf. His eyes sting and burn as they fill with tears, rolling down his face as he pictures his beautiful fur. “Spirit,” He whispers as he pictures his wolf's beautiful white fur and bright blue eyes. He searches the depths of his head, as deep as he can. He looks into every dark place but comes up empty. The Omega buries his face
