Liliana's P.O.V:

I felt the cold ground hit my back, hearing everyone screaming for Kaiden. I wanted get up, to stop Kaiden from going after Calvin. I tried to roll over, but I couldn't find my strength. Kaiden's rage, his sorrow, was consuming me hole and I knew he had to be stopped.

You'd think taking a bullet for someone would've been like the movies, but it wasn't. There was no big swell of sad choir music, or the hero staying with his loved one that would somehow survive. It was just searing pain going throughout my back, and the lack of strength that I had to actually get up.

I heard Aimee and Gia telling me to save my strength, but I ignored them as I forced myself to roll onto my belly. They were both trying to get me to stay still, but I couldn't. I didn't want Kaiden to kill everyone in sight. Getting to my knees, I coughed out some blood, hearing Aimee panicking. Why the hell was she panicking and screaming her head off? She wasn't the one that was fucking shot in the right side of her back.

Aimee and Gia both were following me, stepping back each time I weakly swatted away their hands from helping me up. They both followed me, catching me when I fell a few times. I felt my legs becoming more and more like jelly with every five steps I took. Kaiden was blinded with rage and sorrow, and I had to stop him from taking everyone out in his sight. The small amount of rain drops I felt were now being a slight downpour with all the steps and falls I took to get to him.

Managing to get a good ten feet away, I fell to my knees, spitting out more blood, and heard Kaiden's brothers screaming his name. I rolled to my left side, staring at Kaiden as he had Calvin by the throat. Kaiden rammed Calvin's own fist through his chest as I felt Aimee and Gia trying to attempt at slowing the bleeding in my back. Kaiden made Calvin rip out his own heart before grabbing Calvin's head with his two hands. Kaiden's rage was overflowing every single sense in the bond as I watched Kaiden physically rip Calvin's head off from his body.

"Nate, get your ass over here! I can't stop the bleeding!" Gia screamed at the top of her lungs as I felt a few tears slipping from my eyes.

I could only focus on Kaiden as Jason was holding him back from ripping Calvin's corpse, limb by limb and piece by piece. I felt more hands on my back, even someone rolling me to lay on something as I heard a voice speaking rapidly on the phone. Aimee's sobbing for me to stay awake was becoming faint, even the voices around me slowly became white noise. I looked at Kaiden, finally catching his gaze as I begged him to stop in my head.

He was right in front of me when I blinked slowly two times. I felt Kaiden snaking his arms around me, holding me to his body as everyone around us were either crying or taking about disposing of a body. Were they really going to get rid of my corpse like that?

"You're not dying on me." Kaiden pulled me to chest tighter, then cradled me as he had his hand on my right cheek, stroking it with his thumb tenderly.

Make sure my brothers and Illena don't put me in white...or pink. All I could do was think to him. I wasn't able to find my voice.

"You won't die on me, darlin'. You can't die on me." Kaiden whispered.

I only stared at him, my eyes growing heavier and heavier with each blink I took. My entire body was completely numb, then I found myself staring into his eyes. I wanted to kiss him once more before I died. Kaiden must've heard my thought since he moved to bend his head down to press his lips on mine. He pressed his lips against mine, and I wanted to kiss him back. I couldn't find my strength to do so. All of my will to move just one muscle was gone, but I was happy that I could still feel the softness of his lips against my own.

My eyes closed, refusing to open, and I felt content here. For once since this hellish nightmare began the night I was saved, I was happy. A soft smile crept onto my lips as the scent of rain and leather engulfed me in a warm and loving embrace.

Maybe now I could get some sleep.
