I stop dead in my tracks. I scan the crowd around me. I scan the parking lot and the steet. I can't shake the feeling. You know the one you get when someone is following and watching you. I scan everything around me once more. And the blood in my veins runs cold. My concern and my worry shoots down my connection with Blaze and Aiden. I spot Mr. Latino leaning against the wall of a cyber cafe across the street. Aiden rushes me to the car and locks me in. Blaze and Kane are already across the street, when Aiden gets there. Blaze has Mr. Latino lifted in the air by the lapels of his designer suit. The cops show seconds later breaking up the non fight. My three guys are being cuffed by the police. Mr. Lation and I stare each other down. I quickly call the chief of police and explain the situation. The chief tells me to stay locked in the car. I do as I'm told; for once. And I watch as one of the officers speaks to the other two and my three brutes are released and Mr. Latino replaces t
"Yes, I'm sure Bael is still locked up. The hellhound guarding him would've came to me if someone set him free." Lucifer sounds slightly pissed. Looks like I've upset the ruler of hell. That doesn't stop me though. I have questions and I deserve answers. "Who all knows where he's being kept in hell? Who could or would set him free?" I ask placing my hands on my hips. "Bael is guarded by hellhounds! Original hellhounds! Bael's lock is spelled. In order for the lock to open you'd need the blood of the original hellhound I used to trap him, and either myself or a direct descendant." Lucifer pales as he starts to fall backwards. Illianna uses her magic to pull a chair under him. He's come to realization I had in the car ride home. He let the only person able and willing to set Bael free; go. He had the chance to end her and he didn't. Why? Because she was family. "Who knows who the original hellhound is? Who knows where Bael is placed?" Blaze and Aiden roar. Lucifer runs his hands ove
I watch as a bullet fires out of Gunner's weapon. All I can think is Imma dead man. I'm stuck. I'm frozen. I never would've thought Gunner would turn his back on us. Even though he betrayed us by being with Bael's daughter. I feel the breeze of the bullet as it narrowly misses my face and nicks my ear. The thud of a body hitting the floor hard sounds behind me. Or is it my heart that's banging against my chest? Was that a warning shot? Is he giving me time to get away? I'm not a runner. I aim my gun ready to fire back. "What the fuck man? I just saved your sorry ass!" Gunner shakes his head lowering his guns. "I thought you were fucking shooting at me dip shit! You damn near took off my fucking ear!" I reach up touching the offended apendage. A smear of blood is on my finger tips. "Can you two quiet the fuck down?" Kieran whisper yells at us. We nod our heads. "What are you doing here?" I ask Gunner for the second time. "I followed you. Yall maybe mad at me. Yall may think I bet
Saleem rolls a chair from behind one of the police officer's desks and sits down. "There have been a few times the bond between us, Remi, and hell has grown weak. Each time it has happened, hell's urge to find Remi only grew stronger until we couldn't fight it any longer. So, we came here. We've been feeding you all information for months. We tried to neutralize the threat alone, but realized it would take more than us six. We sent the informant to the Dragon King about Juan. We knew he would find out about the auction and find Lucifer's daughter. Yes, we could've went in and done it ourselves, but we didn't want Lucifer to think we had something to do with her kidnapping. Then Aiden and Remi sealed their bond. And we found out about Savannah and Chance Masters. Again we leaked you the information. We also gave you the information about the stalker's hotel room. You haven't found the stalker because we took care of him. There are twelve members of the auction. We made six of those me
"It means you need to move the females somewhere safe. No one ever lays out the details of their plans in this chatroom. All they say is they're getting ready to go with their move. Since Juan and his partner are gone everyone is sticking mainly to the chatroom. Someone is still watching the bidding site, but not closely. And all the bidders know there's no one that can provide the females once the auction is over. So, now it's about who can get to the females first.""Why should we believe anything you say?" I ask once again pacing. "Because I'm hoping if I help save Remi from Bael. You and Remi will take the throne in hell. That you two can get that place under control and in some kind of order. The six of us can only do so much in each realm. And if I wanted to harm either of you, I could've done that earlier today at the coffee shop.""NO FUCKING WAY!" Kieran and Lucifer yell. They push and shove against Axel, Xavier, and Gunner trying to get at the demon."STOP!" I roar over the
"Shit! I didn't really think this one through." Aiden uncovers my eyes and we're standing next to his bike. I look at the bike. I look at my basketball sized baby bump. Then I look at Aiden. I shake my head because no he really didn't think this one through. He takes my hand and leads me over to his truck. I just shake my head. I can no longer get in and out of my truck, and it's not nearly jacked up as high as his truck. "Wait right here. I'm going to get Xavi's keys to his Mustang." Aiden says rubbing my belly then planting a couple of kisses on it. I shake my head. "If I can't fit on the Harley. And I can't get into your truck. How the hell am I supposed to cram myself into Xavier's little ass car. I can barely get my fat ass in and out of Tianna's mom car. Ask Blaze for his keys. It's probably the only vehicle these two will let me get in and out of without squishing them or hurting myself in the process." Aiden chuckles as he walks back towards the clubhouse. I pick up a rock a
Remi's eyes start to tear up. "Oh...Aiden....this is so.....amazing." She cries as she looks down at the driveway. There carved in stone is an inscription. Remington Payne Ramos and Aiden Rage RamosA love that will last long past eternity. June 02, 2020"I didn't mean for it to make you cry." I say as she jumps into my open arms. I put my arms under her ass to support her. Remi rains kisses down on my face. Her baby bump makes it hard to do, but the little minx finds a way. "It's happy tears. I don't know what to say, A! I love my surprise." I kiss her one last time before letting her slide down my body back onto her feet. "The first surprise was all of your favorite flowers along the drive. This was the second part. There's more. The best part is yet to come." I tell her leading her back to the Jeep. I put her seatbelt back on then climb in. As we travel down the driveway I point out a hedge. "Behind that hedge is a playground for the twins. And a private garden." I point to th
"Why do we need an office at home? You will have access to my office at 318 and you will still be able to go to the garage to manage it. Once the twins are here I don't want to bring work home. I want to focus solely on them. Hence, the no nanny rule." Remi says as I lead her through the rest of the first floor. "I was trying to wait for a better time to tell you this, but I guess now is as good a time as any. After the mating ceremony, my mother and father are stepping down. They're handing the reigns over to us. That was the aggreement my father made when he decided to take the position of ruling the hellhounds. Once the oldest heir took a mate; he and my mother would get to step down. Axel is taking over the garage. My mother has been talking about nothing, but spoiling these two." I tell Remi pulling her close. Her shock and hesitancy play out on her face. "I made it clear that you wouldn't be taking on any unnecessary responsibilies until you were ready. The only time you will
