Page 170 of We Are Yours

“I get irregular periods.” She bowed her head in shame. “I thought… After you left, Julius, I had light bleeding, and I just thought it was the stress of it all, and well, come to find out, it could be either of you.”

As soon as the last word left her mouth, Julius stated, “We didn’t use a condom.”

“Yeah,” I finally spoke up, finding my voice. “Neither did we.”

“Jesus.” Isla’s hand flew to her face. “I’m not this girl. How could I let this happen?”

I knew right then and there that this would change everything between us. This was the moment when it’d truly become…

Brother vs. brother.

Julius

This was the only way to finally get over our past and move into our future. I was tired of all this bullshit, so I took matters into my own hands.

“You son of a bit?—”

“Stop it!” Isla ordered me. “Nothing will get worked out if you two get into it again.”

Just to prove my point, I moved her aside and got right back into Kraven’s face. “You shameless fuck! I trusted you! I don’t know you at all, do I? Because the brother I thought I knew would’ve never betrayed me!”

“The second you left, she became fair game.”

“You took advantage of the situation, you shit!”

This was my breaking point.

I held my head up higher, maintaining my strong composure. Knowing it was what was needed to go against my flesh and blood.

When all I wanted to do was fall apart.

For the first time, I wanted to turn my back on him.

Fuck him.

He was no longer my brother.

Especially when he added, “Love doesn’t leave, Kitty. At least I’d never leave you. Not when I’m in love with you too.”

She grimaced, and so did I.

“Kraven,” I snapped, fully aware of the game he was trying to play. “You just want what’s mine.”

He pushed me. “Fuck you!”

“Please stop!” Her hands flew to her head as she backed away crying, losing her shit. “I can’t do this.”

She spun to leave, but we grabbed her arms.

“You don’t get to run from this,” I warned.

I growled from deep within my chest, not backing down. “I’m only going to say this once, so you better fucking listen,” I advised Kraven. “If you think another man will raise my kid, then you have no idea who you’re dealing with.”

He glared at me. “Ditto.”

“Don’t fuck with me.”

“The truth hurts, don’t it?”
