“I want my brother right now,” she said to Nick.
A huge grin spread across my face. I looked at Nick. He was glaring at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him. He huffed and rolled his eyes.
I lifted Aria and sat her on my lap. I kissed her cheek and pulled her to me.
I wondered what happened with Cassie to make her need me. Not that I was complaining. I would have her need me 24/7.
“What did you want to talk about?” Aria asked, lifting her head to look at me.
“We were talking about calling Victor,” I said, rubbing small circles on her back. “We wanted to include you.”
I saw fear flash in her eyes, and it made my blood boil. I can’t wait to get my hands on that fucker. I guess Nick saw it too, because he growled loudly.
“Don’t be afraid, love,” he said, trying to stay calm. “He will never hurt you again.”
Aria nodded, not lifting her head to look at him. She took a deep breath and placed her head on my chest. My heart swelled. I wanted to hold her like this forever. I placed a kiss on top of her head and wrapped my arms around her.
“When are we calling him?” Aria asked quietly.
“As soon as Petra arrives,” Zack answered.
“She will be here earlier than she said,” Patricia added.
“When?” Mike asked, raising his head to look at Patricia.
“Tonight,” Patricia said.
That’s great. We can call him today. I really wanted to get this over with. I can’t watch my sister afraid. I wanted to get rid of him. I needed to get rid of him.
I buried my nose in Aria’s hair and rocked her softly. I could tell she was afraid. I wanted to take her fear away. I wanted to take away every bad feeling she ever felt.
Why didn’t Grace take me? Did she want Aria specifically? Or did she grab the first baby she could reach? Too bad the bitch was dead. I will never be able to find out. Goddess, I wish she took me. I would be the one Grace abused. I would be the one Victor was aware of. I would be the one afraid, not her. She would have grown up happy and safe next to our grandma. She would never know fear or pain. I would give anything to take away her fear. And I will do everything. She will be happy and safe, just like she was supposed to be from the moment we were born.
A loud ‘aww’ snapped me out of my thoughts. I raised my head and saw Annie looking at us with a big smile on her face.
“You two are so cute,” she sighed.
Aria chuckled and raised her head to look at Annie. From the corner of my eye, I saw Nick rolling his eyes. I smirked. Jealous bastard.
“I have to admit, I am jealous, Minnie,” Zack said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I thought I was your favorite brother.”
I glared at him. I know he was doing this on purpose. He was trying to piss me off. My grip on Aria tightened.
“Sorry, Zack,” she chuckled. “It’s kind of hard to compete with this twin thing. You are my second favorite, though.”
I smiled victoriously. Take that, you fucker. I kissed Aria’s cheek and smirked at Zack.
“As long as I am your favorite mate, I am not complaining,” Nick interrupted.
Aria turned to him. “You are the only mate I have.”
“Yes, I am,” he said with a huge smile. “Remember that always.”
Aria rolled her eyes and buried her face in my chest again. I chuckled and leaned my head on hers.
“Back to the important matters,” Mike sighed. “When are we calling Victor?”
Aria stiffened in my arms. I held her tighter.
