**Ch 347: Protective Brother

After I ate lunch, Kai placed me right back inside his dad's bedroom from where we left off. Only the sky was kissed by a fulgent shiny morning. Thank goodness, his parents were at least covered as they snuggled naked in bed.

"I love you," Gaston whispered to her before he kissed her lips.

Before anything could get ignited between them, Aaron broke through the door without a knock. Morticia hides from her older brother by going underneath the blanket as he shuts the door.

"You've done it again!" Aaron teased as he kept chuckling. "Whoever the vampiress is, you can come out. I promise your secret is safe with me."

"Aaron, I think it's best for you to leave." Gaston nervously exhorted as Aaron was still only laughing.

"Relax, Gaston!" Aaron brushed his worry off as he still chuckled. "I already told you I'd never say anything to your dad. Dwight's been the one snitching on you because he wants Emily. But we've known that." He laughed louder. "Now, this is the fourth time you've cheated. So much for being faithful. I thought you were done with the mistresses—"

"You've cheated on Emily by having mistresses!" Morticia shot up from the blanket as she kept her chest covered, and she viciously glared at Gaston. It didn't take long for Aaron to stop laughing. And that plastered grin on his face reversed into a grisly scowler.

"You–" he gritted one word through his teeth before dashing to Gaston's side of the bed. "How dare you stoop this low and take my sister's innocence at a time when she was vulnerable!" He punched Gaston's face, and then swung another fist into his jaw just as fast.

"Aaron stop!" Morticia yelled as her brother kept punching his face in. Gaston would block one or two hits, but then he'd missed blocking the next four as Aaron kept slugging him. The fact that they were nude under the covers never fazed Aaron.

"I'd never dare touch your sisters! How could you do this to her!" Aaron raged and punched his nose with another loud crack.

"Did you know about this?" I asked Kai since I heard him laughing over the fact that his dad was being pulverized by his uncle.

"No, they never shared this part of the story." Kai laughed.

I shook my head as I tried not to giggle over how hard Kai was laughing about this. "Have you ever taken mistresses to your bed?" I questioned him since I caught him behaving suspiciously.

"No way! My dad would cut my–'' Kai stopped himself as I laughed because in all the duration we've been together, he's never used such foul language in front of me unless he was talking dirty to me while we made love.

"I get it. You would lose Beastie," I giggled, and he laughed too.

Meanwhile, Kai's dad crossed his elbows in an attempt to shield his face from Aaron's blows. "She's my–" Gaston tried to say, but Aaron kept punching him in the chest and arms as he aimed to nail his already bloody face.

"He's my destined mate!" Morticia clamored as Aaron took one last slam across Gaston's jaw before her voice registered to his brain with what she had said.

"Morticia is your mate?" Aaron repeated like he was trying to comprehend it.

"Yes, she's my mate!" Gaston heaved as he cautiously lowered his arms from his face. His entire face was caked in blood, and his nose was crooked from it being broken. He also had a busted-up lip that was bleeding down his chin. And there was even blood on his pillow.

Aaron backed away, stunned for a minute before he started to laugh with a humongous smile. "Why didn't you tell me before I beat your face in!" he happily exclaimed as the wounds on Gaston's face started to heal into fresh skin, including his broken nose.

"You didn't give us a chance!" Morticia scolded Aaron, and he laughed.

"This is something. You better get yourself out of here before Dad smells that his baby girl isn't a virgin anymore," Aaron laughed as he advised his little sister.

Morticia was fast to grab her dress, which was on the floor from on her side of the bed. "Please don't tell Dad!" she pleaded as she ducked underneath the covers to dress herself. Then she quickly crawled out of bed and smoothed the wrinkles on her gown with her palms.

"Ouch!" she whimpered before she touched the bite mark on the crook of her neck.

"You marked each other with the sacred mark," Aaron mentioned like a statement as he noticed Gaston shared the same mark.

"We did. Is it supposed to hurt like this?"Morticia asked, rubbing the swollen fang marks on her neck.

"Let me see it." Aaron walked over to her and checked the sacred mark. "It does for the females. Dad said males carry more venom."

"Cover it with your headscarf until I can tell our parents," Gaston told her, so she draped the pink headscarf over her hair and crossed it over the shoulder straps that held her gown in place.

"I'm going to go get cleaned up," Morticia notified softly before she vanished. After she did, Aaron started to roar in laughter.

"Now, what is so funny?" Gaston rubbed his temples as he hesitantly asked him.

"I can't believe you and my little sister are destined mates. Who would've known my best friend would be my future brother-in-law!" Aaron raved before he eyed him suspiciously. "Wait, you are going to marry her, right?"

"I am," Gaston confirmed without needing to think about it or question if he would.

"I like that answer," Aaron chuckled as he glanced around the room. "Is there a safe place to sit down, or did you bang my sister on the furniture?"

"You ask me that now after you beat my face in while I've been naked in my own bed." Gaston raked his fingers down to his chin as he mentioned this to him.

"It didn't occur to me until now. Here, get dressed!" Aaron chuckled as he tossed him a pair of dark red baggy pants from off the floor.

Gaston dressed his lower half from under the covers as Aaron took a seat on a chair. "I hope you were careful last night when you stole my sister's innocence," he mentioned.

"What are you babbling about?" Gaston eyed him with a dubious look.

"It was a Blood Moon last night, and you mated with my sister," Aaron notified him.

Gaston collapsed to the bedside.

"Oh, crap!" he cursed himself, and Aaron roared so hard that he almost fell out of the chair when he crouched his upper body forward to his lap.

"Not only do I get a future brother-in-law, I get to be an uncle too! I'm not sure whether to break your nose again or congratulate you!" Aaron couldn't stop laughing while Gaston turned sick-looking.
