Chapter 30

Lucian

Shit! I needed to keep calm and close the bond down so Aurora couldn’t feel me panicking, but holy fuck we weren’t ready to have a family. It never crossed any of our minds. We already stepped up for Kason, and he was our brother and a cool dude but a baby?
Fucking hell, we killed people. We weren’t good guys. No matter how often we tried to balance out the bad we did, but still we’re murderers. Hell, we had murdered her father and sister, and yet she still chose us. As if a few pretty words from her was enough to take away what we did.
I pushed my fingers through my hair.
I wasn’t ready for this. Fucking hell I couldn’t do this. Even with the guys by my side. I couldn’t step up and be a dad. We would suck as parents. Fucking hell the only parental influence we had was father and he wasn’t even my real dad. And he encouraged us to be murderers. He encouraged us to live in the dark.
I could already tell I was going to fuck all this up. We needed to send them away, send Aroura away, as far as we could to keep her and Kason safe from all this.
I needed to convince the guys to send her away. That would be the best thing for her. The best thing for the baby. I know I held her hand to try to calm her down, but my entire world was exploding around me.
I knew it would hurt her to be away from us. But it wasn’t safe here.
Knight looked over at me and cocked his head to the side, “You good bro?” he asked.
“We got to send them away, K.” I said scratching my arms, “It’s the only way to keep them safe. We have to get them away from here. Far away from us. From this.”
“No, we can’t send her away,” he growled glaring at me, “She’s our mate, why would we send her away from us?”
“To keep her safe! She’s about to have a baby.”
“Our baby!” he interrupted, he stepped back and looked at me, “Or don’t you want to be part of this anymore.”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “We fucked up K, we should had never came back to her, we should of let her put me in jail. Then there wouldn’t be another fucking innocent life that we will be drug around trying to save and protect. And what if all of this was a big set up by her?”
He slammed his fist against my jaw, good I was glad he was hitting me. I needed to piss him off, I needed to force him to think the worst.
“Don’t you ever fucking talk like that about her and our child like that.” He growled. His eyes flashing with anger.
“Don’t get me started on the fact we’re taking care of Kera’s child that Aurora is dragging around but now this. How do we even know the kid is ours. There’s no fucking…”
I small first came out of no where and hit me in the nose and I looked up and saw Aurora standing there, dreading the words I knew she was about to say.
The tears in her eyes almost gutted me, but I had to do this. I had to keep her safe. We were toxic for her.
“What the hell Lucian.” She snarked at me.
“You forced your way into MY HOME. You forced me into believing you are my fucking scent matched MATE after I tried to get you sent to jail. You are the one who told me not to deny you guys. To allow you to be there for me. To allow you guys to love me. To allow you to bond me. And suddenly you are acting like it’s a problem that I have Kason, who is your own fucking brother. You are acting like I did this on purpose. As if I wasn’t a fucking virgin when you forced your way into my fucking life.”
She pushes her hands through her hair.
“No just fucking no, you want to be a coward and try to blame me for you being scared to be a parent. Then get the fuck out. Fuck off, yeah it may fucking hurt me but I don’t want a mate who would accuse me of something so fucking sick. You aren’t a fucking man.”
Nash came up behind her, “what’s going on? Why do you feel like you are either mad or about to cry?” He goes to pull her into his arms.
“No let me go! Ask the fucking coward. Ask him what he just said.” She said wiping angrily at her cheeks.
“Aurora, you have to understand.”
“What did you fucking do?” Nash stepped up to me and put himself in the way, keeping me away from Aurora.
“I just, I don’t believe the baby is ours.” I say.
“Bull fuck, I know for a fucking fact the baby is ours, I took her virginity myself.” He said proudly. “Why the fuck you acting like a fucking pussy.” He spits.
“Nah you want to treat our mate like shit then you can fuck all the way off.” Knight steps up beside them.
I looked between them; no this wasn’t what I wanted to happen. I tried to look over their shoulders at Aurora, but she was so short I couldn’t see her. I was fucking all this up, but I was terrified.
“We aren’t safe for her,” I muttered.
“Nah, bro You aren’t safe for her. If you aren’t man enough to stand by her, then you aren’t the brother I thought you were. You aren’t the man I thought you were.”
Aurora pushed her way through them, holding her phone and she turned the phone to me and showed the website where she had searched if there was a way to reverse a bond.
“No.” I whispered but she wasn’t listening anymore.
Her eyes pouring the tears. Her voice breaking. “You don’t want me, that’s fine. But I refuse to be bonded to someone who would treat me like this. A bond shouldn’t have been taken lightly but I guess I was just a fuck to you. So whatever.”
She looks at her phone and reads the words, “I, Aurora Anderson reject you Lucian Wolfe as my bonded mate.”
