"You all look horrified and appalled. We're about to school Gunner in the Gunner's book of fairness. First lets start by stating facts. Mace is not your female. You've not sealed a mating bond with her. Secondly, you can't even be sure the child she carries is yours. Now for all the transgressions she has inflicted upon my mate. Mace helped create a poison that nearly killed Remi and the twins. Everyone believes she set Bael, her father and Remi's stalker free. The same Bael that organized the attack on the clubhouse three days ago. An attack meant to either kidnap or kill Remi and my unborn children. Has Mace been punished for any of her crimes against Remi and my unborn children?" I look around the room and eyes fall down to the floor. "Huh, I guess no one has anything to say about that. Well here's where we get to the fairness part. Since you want me to punish my pregnant mate for her crimes against Mace. I'm going to ask you how you'd have me punish her. I want you to think long
I climb in my Jeep and peel out of the drive way. I don't know where to go. I can't go home to the house Aiden and I share because they will look there first. My father's compound will be second. 318 is out of the question as well. I bang my hands against the steering wheel in my frustated state. I have no fucking where to go. Payne starts to argue. We shouldn't have left our mate. We almost lost him. We should be with him. We should've told those who thought themselves worthy of judging us to kiss our ass and go to hell.All I can do is repeat the same thing over and over. I'm not you! I drive until I find a hotel the next town over. I reach into my glove box and pull out my emergency credit card and driver's license. When I get to my room, I flop down on the bed. I'm exhausted. I go to reach for my phone, but realize in my haste to leave; I didn't grab it. Guess that's a good thing. They won't be able to track me. I head to the shower and wash the day away. I hate that I have to p
"Tell that to all the pissed off paras that sit around discussing how dispicable my actions were. Or how I shouldn't be allowed to rule along side Aiden." "Aiden, Weston, Blaze, Gunner and Skullz didn't spend all that time training you for you to be the type of female to back down from a fight. They trained you to be the type of female to fight back. And that's what you did. Blaze, Weston, and Skullz are so proud of the way you came in to help when there was no time to wait for backup. I'm proud of you. Your mother would be proud of you. We raised you to be the type of rule to fight along side your men. Not to hide behind them.""Gunner and Aiden, are not proud of me. Gunner hates me and thinks me a monster. He yelled it at me in front of everyone. Aiden, at least waited until we were behind closed doors before he climbed down my throat about it. You can shower me with all the pretty words you want, but that's all they are. Pretty words you have to tell me because you are my father.
Damn it! I should've shifted before I went in search of Remi when I woke up after the fight. Then maybe when she ran away; she wouldn't have gotten away so easily. I fucked up! Again! I own that shit! I'm still a limping dumbass when I get a call from Xavier. The loud thumping hypnotic beat of music blares through the phone. Xavier yells over the music. "Bro, she ain't here!""Check again!" I growl. I know it's not his fault. I shouldn't be upset with him. But he's here so he catches the brunt of my anger and frustration. "I've checked everywhere! Twice! I'm going to check Tianna's place. Then I'll go over to Nan's. Maybe she's got into contact with Tianna, and Tianna got her to go to one of the two places.""Thanks, Xavi!""FYI, I'm tired of fixing all your fuck ups with my girl." "She ain't yours! She's mine!" Thunder booms from my voice rattling the chandelier. "Remi, maybe your mate! But she was my girl, first!" Before I can say anything else he hangs the phone up in my fucki
Kallista screams bloody fucking murder."I don't want to be here with ungrateful and disloyal fucking paras. Take me home then!""We were never disloyal!" My mother yells at Kallista. "Oh yeah! Tell that to my neice Remi! If you ever fucking find her! Because from where she and I stand; disloyatly was a very fucking good reason for her to leave! She's used to people like the lot of you being ungrateful! It's the fact that her loyalty was being called into question! When it was your loyalty that should be questioned! Remi's loyalty to this fucking MC, her mate, and her twins is what made her join that fucking fight! Her loyalty and her love! And you all ruined it!" Kallista screams right back. I thank all that is holy Kallista is only a sixteen year old child. Had she been eighteen my mother could challenge her for her disrespect. Before I can protest. Kallista says. "I'm leaving!" Her and Blaze blink out of existence. "Great! Just fucking great! Now I have two fucking females, Bla
My parents sit there stunned and silent. My mother was always the thinker. The quiet one. Where my father was the loud one. The type of male to act first then ask questions later. That's why I can't get my head wrapped around the fact my mother turned against Remi. The one she claims to love like a daughter. No matter what my mother has always had all of our backs. Right or wrong. And now when Remi needed her most; she turns on her. Something doesn't add up for me. After a quick trip through my father's head; I can see it puzzle's him too. I call off the search for Remi and have everyone head back to the clubhouse. Weston "The Reaper" takes off with Skullz hot on his heels. Reaper stops at the doorway looking at me as if he has something to say"What Reaper?" I growl my mood still not having improved even knowing that she is okay. I won't consider her safe until she is back by myside. "I have an idea where she might be. Me and Skullz will stand guard for the night. Don't worry. If s
I take a shower and change my clothes. Then lay in my bed and watch some TV until I fall asleep. I wake during the night the loud rolling thunder and lightening flashes across the sky. My tummy growls adding to the noises filling the room. I groan as I wiggle my way out of the big bed.I rub my rumbling tummy as I take my time slowly walking down the stairs. It isn't until I get to the second floor that I realize I have to go through the room I hate most in this house; if I'm gonna eat. With each step I take; my heart pounds against my chest. I want to chicken out and head back up to my room. But the health of my babies is more important right now. I flip the switch to the room. The light of the crystal chandeliers sparkles across the room. There's no trace of that night left in this room. Each step further into the room feels heavier and slower. Its as if the past is trying to hold me down and keep me captive. The thunder rolls across the house vibrating the windows. Lightening cra
I'm in the gym working off my frustrations when my phone rings. I rip off my boxing gloves and pick up my phone. It's Weston's number on the screen. I'm so pissed I snap at him. "You finished keeping my mate from me asshole?" I growl into the phone. "Uhhmm....." Shit! Fuck me sideways! Its Tianna. It isn't Weston. "Aiden, we need you to get to my Nan's house right away. Remi seems to be reliving the night she was attacked. She fought me and Skullz. The only person able to get through to her somewhat is Weston. Doc is on his way as is Kieran. Call Dr. Williams." Xavier is listening to the conversation. He growls when he hears that Remi fought Tianna. "Me and Xavier are on our way." I end the call. Then dial the number for Dr. Williams. Tell him what I was told and give him the address Xavier tells me. As soon as we're in my truck I call Tianna back. "Dr. Williams is ten minutes out. Take care of her till I get there." I say then end the call. The twenty minute drive takes me ten.
