"Was it true what Paul said?" Genesis asked as both he and his brother sat in Benjamin's living room, "You know it's true," Giovanni said as he sat on the couch with his head thrown back and his arm over his face.

"No, it's not, from the start it's been us, Gio, why are you giving up all of a sudden?" Genesis asked, causing his brother to groan in annoyance before he removed his arm from his face to look at his brother.

"Because I'm reckless, I'm too possessive, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the one to drive Rosalie away when we eventually get out of here, let's be realistic here, Genesis, even our father knew I would probably do some dumb shit that'll get me killed," he said, as Genesis stared at him silently.

"Is this because of her being pregnant, we don't even know if the baby is mines, it could be yours," he said, earning a scoff, "You're the last person she had sex with, stop trying to deal with this situation as if I had just gone through a hurtful break-up and I need cheering up," Giovanni spat as he stood up about to walk away.

"What's your problem, I thought this was us, sharing is caring, what's mine is yours, and yours is min-

"You know what, fuck that, if we weren't twins and she had a choice, she would've chosen you," he said as Genesis shook his head, standing up as well, "That's not true, you made her fall in love with you," Genesis said as his brother growled, "Did she say that?" He asked, his question being unanswered, "Then it's all bullshit to me, she felt comfortable around you first, fell for you first, if I didn't try to get rid of Cora with that stupid kiss, you would've kissed her first, but I doubt it didn't happen," he said as Genesis rolled his eyes.

"So what, she's still our mate, the love of our life after everything that has happened between all of us, "Not when she thinks about you as if she has one mate, maybe she will soon," Giovanni mumbled as his brother's jaw clenched.

"What did you just say?" He asked in a low tone while walking towards his brother, whose back was turned to him, "How about you hop off my dick and leave me alone, Genesis," Giovanni said in an annoyed tone.

"Fine, you want to be a whiny bitch about everything concerning our mate, fight me for her, the last one standing gets to be with her," he said, causing his brother to turn with a frown on his face.

"Don't be ridicu-

The silent room was suddenly filled with the sound of shattering glass as Genesis kicked his brother in the stomach sending him flying back and onto the glass table in the living room.

Giovanni lay silently on his back before his head shot up and he opened his eyes to reveal his glowing pupils. Growls rumble against his throat, and sharp nails grow out of his fingertips.

"Fine, but you asked for it."

…

Rosalie sat crying in the room after Mateo left, it was a complete disaster now. It was either the twins going to kill one another or the community of Queensland on their way to kill them instead. Mateo told her that Paul had stirred up some trouble between her family and it made her furious. He told the twins about her being pregnant and now they want to kill one another. She needed to stop them, but she didn't know how, she has trapped her, and had no strength to help herself.

"Kamari, please, I need you," she pleaded as she sat on her knees with tears rolling down her face, "They need us, they're going to die if we don't get out of here," she continued to plead until she felt something awaken inside of her.

"I'm here," Kamari responded, causing Rosalie to sob more, "I've missed you," she cried, feeling her eyes glow, "I was always there, protecting our pup," Kamari said as Rosalie smiled weakly, "I know, my mom told me, is it okay?" She asked, before feeling the sudden enjoy flood through her body.

"They're fine," Kamari responded, "They're?" Rosalie questioned in confusion, "There's three of them," Kamari replied, as Rosalie gasped in disbelief, "There are three babies inside of me?" She asked before closing her eyes and there it was. Three tiny, but strong heartbeats.

"Oh my god," she whispers, cupping her face as more tears begin streaming down her face, "I'm afraid we can't do anything, Rosalie, it's risky, we can lose one of our pups," Kamari said as Rosalie's hands began to shake.

"But maybe we can warn them about the villagers," she suggested as Kamari hummed, "Fine, but we can't transform, it'll harm the pups," she said as Rosalie stood up before walking to the door.

"But how are we going to get out, Mateo locked the door?" She asked as Kamari growled before a force of strength shot through Rosalie's body.

"Open the door."

…

The fight was ferocious and deadly. The living room of the house was destroyed as the twins battled back and forth.

The house shook as Giovanni slammed Genesis against the wall as the cracking sound of bones was heard. All their humanity had faded, at this moment, they didn't see one another as brothers anymore.

This was a battle, a battle to the death.

Slamming his head against Giovanni's sent him stumbling back, allowing Genesis to slash his claws against Giovanni's chest before kicking him backward.

The sound of multiple footsteps can be heard coming closer, but it didn't stop the twins from continuing with this fight. Springing in the air, Giovanni delivered a forceful blow to the face, sending Genesis back against the wall, and knocking down the infamous family portrait, but they didn't care.

Blood poured from Genesis's mouth as he looked up at his brother, who came stomping towards him with nothing but rage in his eyes.

Without thinking twice, Genesis quickly raised his right hand, ready for Giovanni to approach him before a quick flick of his arm sent Giovanni tumbling to the floor.

Giovanni's face felt like it was set on fire as he lay on the ground groaning in immense pain. Genesis walked towards his brother before forcefully stomping down on his back as he tumbled down on his wounded chest.

This was it. Genesis's chance to win Rosalie, but as he was about to do it. The smell of gasoline filled their noses and then out of nowhere, a lighted torch came flying through the window.

The house began to light up with flames.

"NO! GENESIS! GIO!"
