Aidan

Scarlet's confused, but I'm unsure how to explain to her that nothing will ever be the same between us. Once Alaina and Brody are in the picture, I'll be powerless under their rule, and so will Scarlet.

I pass the guards and pull up to Brody and Alaina's house. As soon as I open the car door, they appear on the steps. She runs down and yanks open Scarlet's door before I can get to it. She cries out, "I thought I'd never see ya again."

Scarlet gets teary and swings her legs out of the vehicle.

I bark, "Careful, you're still recovering."

She freezes.

Alaina turns her head and fumes, "I'll take over from here, Aidan."

"Like hell, ya will," I declare, even though she's the one who gets to call the shots now.

"Don't piss me off more than I already am," she seethes.

Scarlet glances between Alaina and me with worry on her face. She tries, "Don't be mad at Aidan."

Surprise fills Alaina's expression. She states, "He kept ya from me."

"He did what he thought was best," Scarlet refutes.

"Ya don't need to stick up for me, petal," I declare.

Alaina's glare shoots darts at me, and she snarls, "What did ya call my sister?"

I cross my arms and lift my chin, answering, "Petal. Not that it's your business."

Her emeralds turn to hot fire. She steps in front of me, threatening, "Don't ya dare—"

"I'm going inside. Not interested in this scuffle," Scarlet announces.

Alaina steps between my petal and me. "Let me help ya up out of the car."

Scarlet shakes her head. "I'm fine."

"Ya just had surgery," Alaina says, reaching in to help Scarlet out of the vehicle.

I step on the other side of her and pick her up, tearing her out of Alaina's grasp.

She cries out, "Aidan, what are ya doing? Let go of my sister!"

I shoot her a dirty look, warning, "Don't come between your sister and me."

Another shocked look fills her face, then she looks at Scarlet in question.

Scarlet's cheeks heat.

Alaina's eyes widen further. She shakes her head, declaring, "Tell me that ya two aren't—"

I brush past her, carrying Scarlet into the house.

She protests, "Aidan, I'm fine. I can walk."

"Steps aren't good for ya. They could rip your stitches," I point out.

She groans. "They won't. I'm fine."

I hold her tighter to me, my heart thumping faster. I murmur in her ear, "I don't want things to change between us."

She blinks hard, whispering, "Then don't let them."

"Put her down. Now," Alaina orders.

I freeze, clenching my jaw, staring in my petal's green orbs.

Alaina growls, "I said now."

"Ya better start listening to my wife," Brody demands.

I grunt, turning toward my brother. "Ya should stay out of this too." I slowly put Scarlet on her feet, holding on to her.

Disapproval fills his expression. He announces, "There are consequences to be paid."

"Tell me something I don't know," I mutter.

Scarlet blurts out, "Aidan rescued me. He took care of me. Be nice to him. He doesn't need any consequences!"

Alaina steps forward and puts her arm around Scarlet. In a concerned tone, she states, "You're just confused right now.
