Chapter Eighteen

Snake

Fox does not stay excited about our mate when we get back to The Abyss. He tells Scratch he is not hungry when our older brother tells us he will find something for dinner in the forest. He is lying and it is not because he is being deceitful. He is not happy about being ordered to come back here, and he is distracted by his thoughts. His stomach complains with rumbling noises as he lays down on the ground outside of his cave, but he does not pay it any mind.

He groans and rubs at his face. “We were so close!”

I hiss my agreement.

Our mate seemed ready to become ours, but Scratch cast doubt where there was none and Fox worried that he may be right. That is simply because it seemed too good to be true.

Scar has taught us many things over the years, but that is one concept that I did not understand until tonight, probably because nothing has ever felt that way before.

Finding a mate is like discovering the gold at the end of a rainbow.

It is so incredible that it does not feel real.

It is like a dream that I never want to wake up from.

So, I understand why Fox is upset. We found that dream, and our leader came along and snatched her away without an explanation, all because Scratch didn’t do what he was supposed to do.

Now, it feels like we’re wide awake.

She is not here, and we are without a mate once more.

I sit down near Fox and keep my gaze on the portal, hopeful that Scar will return soon with our mate.

My feline brother’s problem is that he cannot see past the present.

He lives in the moment, so he is going to suffer every moment that he goes through without her.

I can think about what is coming, and that means I know we will be reunited.

True mates are arranged by The Fates. There is nothing that can stop us from becoming her mates.

That knowledge is enough for me.

I try to impart it on Fox, but he waves off my hisses and then props himself up on his elbows.

“I know all the fated mate stuff. Scar used to bleat on about it as if he was an expert.”

He sighs, looking up at the permanently dark grey sky above us.

“What if he’s wrong, Snake? What if that was our one chance to claim her?”

I am lost for words. Scar is never wrong. He is our leader. He lived in the shifter world before he was exiled. He taught us everything we know. How could he be wrong?

Fox turns his green eyes on me, and I shrug soundlessly.

He groans. “I feel like I’ve been stabbed through the heart.”

I look up to see Scratch stepping through the portal.

“Stop being so dramatic,” Scratch says, dropping a bundle of cooked meats wrapped in a sack in front of us. “You are not dying.”

“How would you know?” Fox grumbles, his whiskers twitching.

He can smell the meat as well as I can.
