REMI Payne
Two guards stand at the end of the hallway. I thank my lucky stars that my feet don't make a sound as I hurry down the hallway. I'm standing right behind the two guards. I'm so close they should feel my breath on their necks. Static comes over their radio. "Be vigilant. The Dragon King and his crew have made it onto the property." The guard closest to me twirls around to face me. My smile widens at the fact he can feel me, but can't see me. Goosebumps coat his arms. The succubus takes a deep breath. He inhales my essence. His smile widens when it coats his tongue. I pull out my mother's angel blade and swing. The succubus' head rolls towards his companion. I just over his body and slice at the second guard before he can fire a shot. Shots ring out in a farther section of the warehouse. Payne, get out! Right now goddamnit! Blaze yells in my head. But the pleas of the Fae girl are louder. I'm not leaving without the girl. She's the one we were sent in to retrieve. Hold on sweetie! I
REMI Remi
A bomb goes off on the east side of the warehouse. The ground shakes beneath our feet. Kallista screams and clenches at my hand tightly. I run faster. I'm practically dragging the child behind me. I try to at least partially shift, but it's a no go. I try to cloak us both, but that doesn't work either. My magic well is running on fumes. It will have to build back up. Payne, where are you? Mendoza's men are getting ready to set off another explosion. Blaze yells in my head. Between his yelling and the explosion my ears won't stop ringing. As we take a right down the hallway that will leads us back to the hallway for the rear entrance; another smaller explosion goes off. We duck and dodge the falling debris and struggle to breathe through the dust and smoke. Just as we enter the hallway to the exit a fist collides with the side of my face. I fall to the ground bringing Kallista down with me. "Run to the end of the hallway the door will be unlocked. Blaze and my mate Aiden will be wait
REMI Remi
Aiden stumbles into view and lifts me into his arms. I'm weakened. I've been beaten, shot, and blown up twice. I snuggle into his chest and close my eyes. I just intend to rest them, but sleep pulls me under. I wake up in the hospital. They had to remove two silver rounds from my body. It wouldn't kill me. However, it's what drained my strength and magic. It's been two weeks. Two weeks of still not feeling like myself, but I've been training and working out. Kallista at my side; at Payne's penthouse. Aiden and I still have yet to talk about our issues. But he calls or texts me everyday. I guess neither of us knows how to bridge that gap. My father and Gunner are on my shit list. I knew the female we were going in after was royalty. I knew this was a special request. Never did I imagine; I would be going in after my younger aunt. Apparently, Lucifer and my grandmother Illiana; had another child. Lucifer used some kind of magic to keep who she was hidden from me.Kallista didn't get t
REMI Aiden
"Oh you know how it goes. Woman goes to therapy and meets a sexy Latino man on the elevator. Body guards cock block her. Same ole! Same ole!" Remi says as she flops her hand back and forth. I growl. As she goes to pass me, I pull her to me. "You're mine!" I claim her mouth with my own. Everything we feel passing between us as sparks of electricty zip and zap over our skin. It's heated and passionate. Blaze clears his throat killing the moment. "Before this goes any further maybe you two would like to go inside. Or at least wait till we're not present." Blaze tells us. He's holding the elevator doors open. I pull a dazed Remi behind me. The entire ride up to Payne's penthouse is filled with the aroma of her desire. Kallista is standing by the island in the kitchen of the open floor plan of the penthouse. "Hiya, guys. How's...." She looks at Remi then at me. She hot foots it to her room and slams the door. I pull Remi over to the couch and sit her down. "Remi, it's time we talked."
REMI Remi
Lucifer and his mate; my grandmother, queen of the Fae realm; Illianna stand in front of the fireplace holding what looks like Fae wine. Gunner and Aiden sit on the leather chairs on either side of the fireplace. I'm stuck. My feet won't budge. All eyes are on us. Until the pair move across the room towards me and Kallista. Kallista steps into the open arms of her father and mother. They release her and pull me into them. I'm frozen. I don't know what to do. I don't do hugs with people that are practically strangers. So, I do what my mother would want me to do in this moment. I give them a light hug. Then quickly pull away. It's ackward to say the least. It gets more ackward when I spot Axel and Xavier in the corner and everyone else watching the scene play out. Guess they are waiting for Payne to lash out. Jokes on them. She's been pretty docile lately. My father steps up to me and everyone tenses. Kallista steps back to my side and holds my hand. It's funny how this little being c
REMI Aiden
I watch Remi closely as Lucifer begins to speak."You died at birth. Actually, you never took your first breath. For three days I listened to your mother's crying and pleading for someone to bring you back to her. I couldn't take the pain my only daughter was feeling away. I had to do something. I would do anything to ease my only daugther's pain. So, I did the only thing I knew. I called upon my brothers for their help. I was warned not to do what I was thinking about doing. That it would alter you in some way. But I didn't listen. On the third day I had my brothers help me give you a piece of my soul. I thought being as it was a selfless sacrifice; you'd get a part of the archangle side of my soul. However, you didn't. You got a part of my soul that created Hell. Your mother and father assured me they would do everything in their power to keep you from becoming a dark soul. Then Romeo was killed. No one knows how you did it, but you entered Hell. I had to go in and find you. You wer
REMI Aiden
I catch up to Remi in her office. She's sitting behind her desk drinking a bottle of tequila. "Wanna talk about it?" I sit in the leather chair across from her desk. She shakes her head."You know, both of you trying to take the blame for what happened to Romeo, to Yanessa, and to you; isn't going to help anybody. You're two sides of the same coin. There's no Payne without Remi and vise versa. I know life has knocked you down more than a few times. But you always manage to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and live to fight the bad guys another day. Payne, is magnificent. She's not a monster. She's not a demon. If she were either of those things she would've left Kallista and the others in that warehouse to die. And she wouldn't have given a damn about all the others she has helped to save."Remi snorts her disbelief in my words. "Answer a question for me. Has Payne ever hurt an innocent being?" Remi shakes her head with a sigh, and takes a swig from her bottle. "That just prove
REMI Remi
I head straight to the bar so that I can wash away my shame with a shot of tequila. Summer the newest bartender passes me a shot as soon as I walk up to the bar. After knocking back my shot; I head back to the rear of the club. I make my way to the third door on the left guarded by Spence. Casino night at 318 is invitation only with a plus one. All guests have to be cleared by security before the event. "Good evening, Spence." I say as he opens the door to let me and my security detail through. Blaze leads the way and Kane follows behind me. "Good evening, Remi." He says as he closes the door behind us. We slowly climb down the black metal stairs. I look over the room as we descend. Shade is tending the bar in the back of the room. She hands are waving around as her mouth moved ninety to nothing. Two bartenders stand there looking thoroughly chastised. Eight waitresses move about the room. Four cashiers tend to the guests in a booth to the right of the bar. Ten security guards move

REMI Remi
"I have a question. How do we know Skullz isn't the traitor and you're both helping Chance and Bael?" Gunner asks standing along side Aiden and Xavier who have taken up the position of blocking me from Vlad and Skullz view. "If we were the one's working for Bael and Chance; your sister and the twins would be on their way to hell with Bael. Not sitting in a room specifically designed for her to give birth comfortably. I wouldn't have invited you all here to figure out our next move or even told you we are her mates as well. If I was conspiring against you."Skullz stands there with his head hung low. When he raises his head his eyes lock on mine. I see the questions in his eyes. Do I trust him? Do I care for him as I always have? Can there ever be more between us? The answer is yes, I trust him. Skullz has been a part of my life almost as long as Aiden has. Skullz has proven time and time again he would lay down his own life for mine. I don't have to question his loyalty or devotion.
REMI Aiden
I shove away from Skullz. Remi yanks me into her side pleading with her eyes for me to calm down. "Talk." I demand staring Skullz down. "The first time I scented my mate was the night Remi was attacked. Her seventeenth birthday. Her scent was strong, but it was mixed in with yours. I was sure I was mistaken. Especially with the way you were acting. And everyone saying that Remi was your fated mate. I mean there was no way she was my mate if she was your fated. So, I thought what I was smelling and feeling wasn't right. The more time I was around Remi, I knew she was my mate. I never said anything or came forward because she never showed any signs of feeling the same. So, again I was confused. Vlad here picked up what was going on with me at 318 for casino night. He was having the same problem. Neither of us wanted to step on your toes. Neither of us wanted to force anything with Remi. Remi and I are so close because of the bond we share. Not just because we're friends. She's my mate
REMI Remi
When I walk back into my bedroom, everyone is here. I can't believe that my kidnapper called in my calvary. Tears cloud my eyes as I rush over to Aiden and my babies. I hug them as tightly to me as I can. "I can't believe he called you. He said he would. He did." I mumble into Aiden's chest. The twins begin to stir and whine a little because I'm squishing them. One by One my family passes the twins around. Aiden and I look on with pride. "So, what's their names? Remi refused to tell us until you got here." Kallista asks Aiden bouncing on the balls of her feet. She's dying to take my son away from his father again. "Ashton Romie Ramos and AshLynn Yanessa Ramos." Aiden says finally passing Ashton back around the room."Those are perfect names." My father beams with pride as he holds his first grandchild. AshLynn squirms and we all hear a noise and my father cringes. "I think she left her father a surprise." Kieran says handing my daughter to her father. Aiden looks lost as hell. I b
REMI Aiden
It's been hours since Remi and the others went missing. My phone keeps vibrating in my pocket. When I finially pull it out to check it; it's a number I don't recognize. "This is Aiden. Speak." I growl into the phone not at all worried about how I might come across to the person on the opposite end of the line. "Aiden, it's Vlad. We need to talk. It's about our mate. Remington." "She's mine! Only mine!" I growl into the phone. "No she's not. I've gotten her somewhere safe. The twins are safe. At least for now. There's a traitor walking among you. He has Blaze. I got to the scene just in time to get our mate and the other females to safety. They're all here. I'm sending you the address. Bring just the ones you know beyond a shadow of doubt that you can trust. I'll explain everything once you get here." Vlad hangs up leaving me speachless for a moment. I snap my head up looking at everyone in the room. No one here would dare to double cross me and Remi. Flashes of a soft pale yellow
REMI Aiden
I'm in the middle of a meeting with a vendor for 318 when a flash of images fills my mind. Gunner and Weston rush into the office shooing the two males from the booze delievery company out of the room. "Blaze and Kane's vehicle was found on the side of the road smashed to pieces. No sign of either one of them. Tianna's car was found a few feet away down the small ravine. We gotta go Aiden." Gunner says helping me out of the chair. "Remi was in labor. Where's Remi, Tianna, and Kallista?" I ask forcing myself to finally move. "They were taken. We think Blaze and Kane are on their trail. We don't have all the answers. Xavier and Skullz are at the scene now. Come on! We're going to catch the fuckers scent and go after them." Weston says. I point over at my truck and throw Gunner my keys. It feels a little awkward to have him here. But since Doc and Waylon got him from under that spell Mace casted; he's been trying to do everything he can to make up for the damage he feels he caused. D
REMI Remi
Kallista calls Aiden, but doesn't get an answer. I continue to do breathing exercises. "Where's your go bag?" I point to the bag next to the couch in the little sitting room of our suite. Kallista helps me waddle across the room. I have another stabbing pain in my vag and stop walking. I cross my legs and pray the twins don't fall out. "I know it has to hurt. But we have to move. I called Dr. Williams. She knows we're on our way." I nod my head at Tianna, but the pain is too much. Blaze flashes into the room and picks me up. He carries me down the stairs through the house to the garage and puts me into Tianna's car. He pushes the seat all the way back; then leans the back of the seat as far back as it will go. "Follow me. Kallista, keep calling Aiden and Xavier. One of them has to answer. I'll call Kieran. Remi, keep doing your breathing exercises." We all nod our heads and he closes the door. We follow behind his SUV. We're just past the clubhouse when a huge truck crosses over in
REMI Remi
The day after my zombie moment is peaceful. Tianna, Kallista, and Aiden's sister, Trinity all come over to keep me company while Aiden works. I feel horrible about all the time and hours he puts in between the mechanic shop ran by the hellhounds and 318. I try to keep in touch with Shade as much as possible to see how things are running and to help out as much as I can. She's training someone to take over for her because she is also going to have to leave in a few weeks. Aiden tells me he has everything under control, but I still worry about my business going up in smoke. I'm about to fall asleep during movie number three when I hear Aiden's heavy foot steps stomping up the stairs. Instead of turning to come to our room he heads towards the nursery. I realize the banging and racket coming from that side of the house has stopped. When I move to sit up all three of the females laying in my bed jump up. "What's up? What's wrong?" They yawn and stretch their sleeping asses out. "Nothin
REMI Aiden
The grumpy old fae answers on the first ring. "What now Aiden? You have my ass so busy I had to hire another crew to take on some of my other clients." Amos grumbles. But if I say I'm hiring someone else for a job; he bitches my ass out and insists he's the one doing it. "I need the twins' nursery done. Like yesterday." Amos huffs and puffs. I hear him whistle as he flips through the pages of his daily planner. He grunts acting as if he will be too busy. I know what he's doing. He wants more pay for the perfection and rush job only he can do. "I'll pay you double the agreed upon price. Remi, could have the twins any day now. We need it done and fast. And we both know; only you can do what we want done as fast as we need." I listen to him tapping his fingers on his desk. "You don't have to pay me double. Just the original quote plus half that. I'm fae. We both know I can have that nursery done with the snap of my fingers. Besides you and Remi are good people. I'm only gonna cut yo
REMI Remi
"Okay, Remi. Tell me what's going on." Dr. Williams says as she pulls out a few hand held machines, a measuring tape and her stethoscope. She lays them on the bed as I explain what's going on. "I started having pains. They're not contractions because they're sparatic. They don't last long. What hurts the most is; it feels like the twins are about to come falling out my hooha." I pant as I continue to try and breathe through the pain in my vag. Dr. Williams lifts my shirt and tucks it under my tits. She measures me, takes my blood pressure then heads back to her bag. Sitting beside me on the bed she squirts some gel on my stomach and begins using a probe wand looking thing on my stomach. When the sound of my baby's heartbeat fills the air I know what this machine is for. "Ordinarily, I'd do this down at the office. However, since we're doing a house call today. I'm going to have to do it here. Remi, I need you to remove your pants and panties. I'm going to check to see if you're dia
