Chapter |51| Brothers For Life

A A R O N' S P.O.V

Of course it just so happens that the moment I step into the bathroom, my Princess suddenly awakes.

I left the bathroom after washing as much dried blood off my bruised and battered body as I could. My shirt was undone, since the entire thing was caked in Kane's blood, so I just pulled my jacket on top and left it open.

The moment I stepped outside I knew something was wrong. I must have spent only twenty minutes inside the bathroom and already, all of Kiara's brothers were anxiously stood outside her door, with Tristan right behind them.

Kalen was back, yet Tessa was nowhere in sight. Something was wrong.

"What the fuck is going on? Is she alright? Did something happen?" I'll never forget the horrible stomach churning feeling I had inside of me. It was like torture, knowing that Kiara was just behind those doors, just out of reach, and I couldn't do anything to help her.

"She's fine. She's actually awake. Gabi, Ryder...I mean Mr Romano," Tristan quickly corrected, after earning a sharp glare from
Kieron. "and Tessa are in with her now."

A dark feeling came over me, the kind I couldn't just shake off. I needed to see her. Pushing my way to the front, I shoved Kieron aside, and peered through the glass window.

I couldn't see her, Tessa's fucking blonde mane was in the way but then I heard her laugh. It brought a small stupid smile to my face which quickly dropped upon hearing her cries.

She was upset, obviously she would be. She was almost killed because of me and then her weird friend, who she used to have sex with, got shot right in-front of her.

That's a lot for my Princess to take, a lot for anyone to take.

Before I could watch anymore, I was pulled back by my collar and forced up against the wall. "Don't look at her. You don't come near her again, understand me Black."

Kieron's grip on my shirt got tighter, strangling me almost, but I greeted him with a sadistic grin. "That's not up to you, is it? It's up to Kiara and I'm not leaving this damned place until I see my Princess."

"She's not yours." He snarled viciously, Kalen and Kai flanking him on both sides for support.

"Let him go alright, he's been through enough." I was both shocked and a little horrified that Tristan had actually spoken up for me. It was strange, it seems like it was so long ago that we were best friends...brothers even and now, it felt like nothing had changed.

"You're next pretty boy," Kalen snapped, before turning his attention back to me.

"Actually, no-one will be next. Kieron, release Aaron now." Thank god for mothers. Kieron let me go with a huff, my body too weak to stabilise myself so instead I slumped to the floor.

Gabi was kind enough to offer me her hand and help me up, but I flinched when I looked up. She looked so much like Kiara it was almost haunting, and caused my heart to clench.

Princess, I needed her now more than ever.

"Thank you, is she okay?" I murmured, sighing when Gabi pulled my aside. Even though Kiara just woke up, Gabi look worried...scared almost. She was on the brink of tears which could only mean that there was something wrong with Kiara.
