“At the store! I fucking told you that.”
“She needed tampons, right?”
“Yes!” Creed snaps. A look I can’t decipher is plastered across his face, his eyes are cold and vacant like he isn’t really seeing anything aside from his rage. I reach up and try to pry his hand from my throat, but it just causes him to tighten his hold. He pulls me closer and bends so our noses touch, Creed wants to help but he knows if he touches me, it will set off a vision, I fucking hate these visions!
“I don’t scent any blood beauty. Want to try again and this time tell me the fucking truth!” He all but screams in my face, his grip loosens enough so I can breathe slightly easier, but his hand remains on my throat.
“I-uh, I needed something––.” His vicious growl has me clamping my mouth closed.
“Cairo, you’re scaring her, let her go.”
“Stay the fuck out of this, if I find out you have touched her I––.” A fist flies out and clocks Ro in the side of his face, he drops his hold on me, so I quickly scurry away from the fight that is about to go down. Creed pushes against him; they are chest to chest with Creed continuously growling. He grips the front of Cairo’s shirt and then shoves him back a step.
“You ever, and I meanever,insinuate that I would cheat on my wife, I will fucking kill you! Your sister is everything to me, you stupid prick!” Creed is screaming while Cairo just stands there with a look of shame on his face. I hear footfalls behind me, so I peer over my shoulder to see the others running toward us from the side of the house. My brothers are the first to reach me and shove me behind them, I want to argue but I know right now isn’t the time. Callie, Cole and Z reach us, Zeke darts his gaze from me and back to the two alphas before asking.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Cairo is mad because Creed took me to the store.” Zeke doesn’t get a chance to answer.
“Why the fuck did you take her then?” Cairo roars.
“Because she needed help, unlike you, I would never disappear with your mate!” I cringe at the bitterness that coats Creed’s voice.
“Stop lying!”
“I’m not lying Ro––.”
“Yes, you fucking are! She doesn’t have her period, so start telling the fucking truth!” How the hell does he know that? Creed turns to me, and his eyes plead with me to tell Cairo the truth, when I see Cairo’s fist strike out and hit Creed across the face, chaos erupts. All the guys rush forward and pull them apart, both of them are panting and each of them got a couple of hits in before the boys intervene. “You son of a bitch––.”
“He took me to get some tests!” I shout, Creed sages in relief, Cairo turns his angry stare to me, he pulls against Zeke and Cole’s hold on him, but they won’t let go.
“What fucking test?”
“Oh…” I turn to Callie and the look she gives me tells me she knows exactly what test we brought.
“I’m fucking waiting!” I cringe at the volume of his voice; I slowly pull my gaze from Callie to look back at Cairo. He looks rabid and slightly unhinged; I’m terrified to tell him the truth. I square my shoulders and hold his stare as I say.
“Creed took me to get some pregnancy tests.” I say barely above a whisper, his brows furrow in confusion for a second before his eyes widen, I can feel my three brother’s gaze’s burning holes into the side of my head. I spin on my heel and march toward the car, I yank the door open, retrieve the bag and then head inside, footsteps follow after me, but I refuse to look and see who it is.
I head straight for my room; I dump the contents of the bag on the bed and still. I look at the scattered tests and a sob breaks free. The door closes behind me and before I know what is happening, I’m spun around and then crushed against a chest, I wrap my arms around Cass and sob into his shirt. He cups the back of my head and rests his chin atop my head.
“We’ll get through this Belle, Hunt, Blake, Dad and I are always here for you.”
“I’m scared Cassius.” I sob into his chest, a sigh escapes him as he gently pushes me back and cups my face, he uses his thumbs to wipe away my tears as he smiles. I sniff and try to stop the tears from falling but they just keep coming.
“Belle, a baby is a gift and if that dumb-bastard doesn’t realize that, then he can take a hike. The three of us followed you here because of the vision you had about being his mate, and Sky needing to be saved. Things have changed now.” I shake my head as I grip his forearms.
“I can’t…leave.” His face morphs into an expression of annoyance.
“Take the test Belle. If it comes back positive then you have to think about your baby, and not yourself, it’s not safe here right now for a kid––.”
“You so much asthinkabout taking my kid from me, and I’ll end each and every one of you.” Cass drops his hold on me and spins around to face Cairo whilst blocking me from his view. How he can move silently and open a door without a sound still baffles me.
“Your threats mean nothing!”
“It wasn’t a threat; it was a fact.”
“Touch my sister and see what I do to you.” Cairo growls, I hear him take a step froward and I rush out from behind my brother and stand in front of him, Cass tries to move me out of the way, but I won’t budge. I meet Cairo’s gaze and his emotions are closed off, he’s back to being the closed off cold as fuck alpha.
