Chapter 39: Hostaged

Aaron groans slightly as soon as he comes to and opens his eyes for a while as he finds himself in a completely different location and when he tried to get up, he felt some rope burns on his hands and realized that he's been tied up and as he looks up, he sees most of the pack members all tied up or shackled and that could mean one thing...they're being held against their will.

Aaron blinks his eyes a few times and the only thing that he could remember is Griffin snatching Siris from his grasp and he attempted to get up and find him, but the rope has hindered his ability to run off and is trapped. Aaron tried to break free, but the rope refused to budge or split apart and he grunts in frustration to keep breaking through, but the rope won out.

"Griffin! Where the hell are you?!" Aaron shouted.

Griffin's response was an evil chuckle and he stood out of the shadows with Siris, who's all shackled up and chained...which became a horrifying sight for Aaron to see right in front of him. Griffin pulled Siris and he said to Aaron, "He's my son now."

"Says who?! Siris is my son! Has always been!" Aaron shouted.

"That should've been MINE! How can you take something that was already mine?!" Griffin roared in anger.

"Give me back my son!" Aaron exclaimed.

Aaron tried to bust free, but some of his comrades pushed him down to the ground and Siris kept crying for his dad, which got on Griffin's nerves and he slapped him in the face, causing Siris to cry even more and Griffin said, "He is not your dad! I'm your father now, twerp! And you might as well call me dad!"

"Siris is not your son, jerkhole!" Diego shouted back.

Griffin looked at Diego for a second and he turned his attention from Aaron straight towards Diego and as he walks to him, he looks at him and replied, "You wanna take a shot at me?"

"Siris belongs to Aaron." Diego said, angrily.

Griffin takes one look at Aaron real quick and once he got that answer, he turns back to Diego and mercilessly kicked him in the face hard with a vicious left hook and fury in his face and said, "Aaron is not his father! That's my son now!"

"Why would you say that Siris is your father when it's clearly Aaron's?" asked Ryan.

Aaron grunts as he tries to stand up and he was all battered, bruised and bloody because him and Griffin have had bad blood from long ago and he said, "Because Griffin has been jealous since I dated Lehua and he felt as if I was ruining their relationship when Lehua made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him and that their relationship was never even that was too possessive, controlling, obsessive and jealous to the point where he would just be violent towards her, but she wasn't gonna have it. When she broke up with him, he refused to accept it and wanted her back more than anything. When he found out that she married me and that we had Siris, his jealousy became so huge that all he wanted to do was make us suffer."

Griffin grunts at the extent of that particular memory Aaron has and even though they were valid, he still considers Lehua as his own and no one else's and he said, "That's why I killed that bitch...because if she couldn't have me, no one would."

"Shouldn't you know the sign that if she didn't want anything to do with you, find the next girl?" asked Marcus.

"There's no girl like Lehua. When I killed her, it felt good because now I can get closer to kiling Aaron and if I have to, keep Siris and raise him to be a killer." Griffin said, chuckling.

Something didn't seem right with that and Aaron was just dumbfounded by this and asked, "So that's why you were gonna go after me and Lehua? So you would take our son and raise him instead of us?"

"You must've done your homework." Griffin replied.

"Daddy!" Siris shouted.

Griffin was getting fed up with this and he yelled at his face, "Does he look like your daddy to you, you little brat?"

"Daddy!" Siris cried, looking at Aaron.

"It's okay, son! Daddy's gonna get you out of here!" Aaron replied, trying to break free.

"Look at me! I'm your daddy! And you better get it right!" Griffin screamed.

"Don't you dare scream at the kid's face!" Jojo shouted.

"No! Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!" Siris said, sobbing while looking at Aaron.

That fueled up Griffin's rage to the maximum and just threw him to the ground and mercilessly beat him with a wielding iron. Aaron gained enough strength to break out of the ropes and pummeled on Griffin like a football tackler and beat Griffin up harder and he grabbed the wielding iron and beat Griffin in the face with it harder.

"Yeah, how do you like that?!" Aaron shouted.

After that, he stopped for a second and went to his son and as he picked him up, he could see blood on Siris face and it looks as if Griffin did a number on him. He took one look at Siris and just hugged him in his arms tightly and whispered, "We'll get through this, son. I promise."

Griffin looked at this sight and it disgusts him to know that Siris still considers Aaron as his father and that is the complete breaking point for him and he said, "Fellas, grab that brat! But do not harm him!"

"What about Aaron?" asked one of the prisoners.

"I'll handle Aaron myself." Griffin said, angrily.

"But...what about the others?" asked another prisoner.

Griffin looked up and noticed all of the pack members were gone from their shackles and ropes and he was shocked to see this happening and said, "Find them!"

Diego was the only one hiding out and Aaron gave Siris to Diego and afterwards, he ran off without anyone knowing and once the door closed, Griffin looks up and then back at Aaron and is shocked to see Siris not on his sight and asked, "Where's the kid?"

"Away from you. This is between you and me." Aaron said, angrily.

Griffin could see that he's willing to fight Aaron more and pick up where they left off a long time ago and he snapped his fingers and told his comrades, "Find the pack and that baby! Do whatever you want with the others, but I want that brat alive and unharmed!"

As they dispersed, it was just Aaron and Griffin in one room together, ready for a smackdown and Aaron said, "Let's do this!"

"I've been waiting a long time to attack you." Griffin said, angrily.
