Chapter 389 The Brotherhood Of Saints
[RUSSEL]
"What the fuck do you even know about mating bonds and love?" Alex asked with a growl. He couldn't believe that his baby brother had grown up enough to even start questioning them.
"You didn't just ask me that," Trey growled out in warning, surprising even Sebastian and Jer. The youngest had never lashed out and right now, it seemed like he was about to year through them faster than the speed of lightning.
"Tell me I'm wrong then. Haven't you been in training for the entirety of your lives? When the fuck did you even know what mate bonds did, Trey? How the fuck would you know what love is?" Alex asked even though he had a feeling that this wasn't the best way to deal with this.
Well, he was right. They had lives to live, away from the mess they had been born into, but then most of their time they had been together so it just didn't make any sense that Trey, of all of them, would ever even understand what affection was.
"I have a fucking mate you asshole, and I lost him because of you, all of you!! I didn't go after him because the fucking mission we were on was too important!!" Trey shouted angrily, forcing the entire room into silence. Surely they had to have heard it wrong, yeah?
"Trey—" Amina began sadly as she stared at her brother who had been doing well for the past years.
Well, at least that's what They had wanted everyone to believe. He had never been able to lie to Amina though, because Amina knew him inside out. Amina understood what it meant to love and lose.
Amina understood him in ways that no one else could ever comprehend. It was like their bond was forced their hands one too many times, but then what else was there for them other than the fact that regardless of what happened they had to figure out a way through this?
They wouldn't be the ones tearing each other out, because that's not how love and life worked. They had family to deal with and they couldn't afford to make enemies of each other, not right now and not this time.
"No, Amina. Not this time. If they want to be shitty to you then they might as well get ready to go overboard with me because if I find my Perihan again, not even family will make me stop being with him," Trey said angrily before he walked out the room, banging the door on his way out.
He was not going to stay there and listen to them bitch about the obvious. They were creations of nature and they were bound to get their partners sooner or later.
If they didn't work through those complexities at the moment they would have a hell to deal with when the sun went down and they were the only ones left to bear the curse of immortality and loneliness.
"Great. See what you just did because of your paranoia? He's been waiting on his mate for over five hundred years and you just dampened any hope that he had of seeing his Perihan again.
"Fix your mentalities or otherwise, we will have an in-house explosive that even we won't be strong enough to fight," Amina explained before she stepped out and went after her brother.
She didn't want Trey to feel guilty for falling in love, that was the last thing that she ever wished on her brother.
It was already bad enough that they had gone through all of this on their own and without anyone to support him, but this time, their brothers had to make it work, because otherwise, they would be dealing with the worst of the worst and not even fate would be as kind.
"Trey, wait," Amina said to her brother.
"Don't bother, Amina. I won't go ballistic on them f I find my Perihan. I just wanted them to understand what it meant to be fucked up. They had caused us so much pain and the fact that they are still oblivious to it even to this day pisses me off.
"They never learn. Even after everything we have lost together, they still never learn, goddess, they are frustrating the fuck out of everyone," Trey sighed as he kicked the nearest couch.
He was mad that everything was going back and forth with him and his mate, and that there was a chance that they wouldn't be able to figure it out until the very end.
It was the best of things and Trey knew that even if he wasn't happy, one of them would know what happiness was.
Mbali was what happiness looked like for Amina and Trey wanted her to have at least that, they couldn't always be at war, but then what else was there for them? They had a lot going on and very little time to figure it all out.
"I wouldn't blame you if you chose Perihan over us. We have grown messy over the years, little brother," Amina said as she plopped on Trey's bed.
She was sick of everything that was happening, but then at some point, she understood their brothers. This wasn't easy on them too, besides what They had said had it been a shocker for them.
There was no denying that this wasn't easy. Well, they had to be together if all of this was meant to work for them right?
"How are you feeling? I'm sorry our brothers are assholes," Trey signed for the hundredth time and Amina let out a lonely laugh.
It was in a habit how even with all they were going through with their damned mission for the impossible, they still managed to get into more complicated situations.
There would probably come a day when things wouldn't be complicated but today wasn't that day, and that was the only thing that she could think of.
A day when love would simply be over and when happiness wouldn't seem like a tortured experience for the lot of them. It wasn't supposed to be this hard after all, right?
"Better, now that you lashed at them," Amiana said and Trey joined in with a laugh.
They were truly miserable but then perhaps they could still hope for those better days, right? It didn't matter how long it would take because eventually, the world would always be this gray to them, no?
Maybe when the sun went down someday in the future, they would be waiting with smiles on their faces.
"Well, they deserved it," Trey laughed right before there was a sudden whirlwind in the space where they sat. It was all so sudden that there was sure this was an invasion. So, he readied himself for an attack.
"Fucking hell, what now?" Amina sighed as she watched the portal form around them and a letter drop. It only had three words to it, three words that got Amina wondering what the fuck had happened.
"Mbali needs you," Amina read, and before she could even think, her brother pushed her through the portal, not giving her a chance to protest.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What the fuck was that?" Alex rushed to Trey's room, only to find Trey playing with the wind. It was like he had been the reason for it, and damn, that was so close.
"Really, Trey? Throwing tantrums?"
"You want me to blow you up or what?"
"I'm sorry, little brother. I didn't mean to be harsh," Alex apologized and Trey stopped with the whirring winds.
