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.
I wake up in a familiar room, but it's not in the house I was in last night. The familiar scent of Nan's house fills my nostrils and soothes me. A shuffling noise to my right causes me to turn my aching head. My father sits in the chair next to the bed I used to call my own when I stayed here with Tianna. "How did I get here? Why am I here?" I croak. My throat hurts as if I had been screaming bloody fucking murder. "You had an episode at your mother's house. Weston and Tianna brought you here. They didn't feel it was in your best interest to travel too far in the state you were in." My father runs the back of his rough hand over the side of my face. His feelings of sadness and guilty assult me. "What episode? Why are you feeling so sad and guilty? Sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. My shields are either weak or down. They never stay in place these days. I feel so drained. Like all my power and energy is gone." I say trying to ease myself up in the bed so I can sit up against the head
Remi just sit and stares at me with unshed tears in her eyes. She shakes her head. I don't know what to say or do to keep from loosing her. But I can feel that I am in fact loosing her. "One chance. Just give me one chance to make it up to you." I plead. The indecision in her eyes has my heart pounding. Her head shakes and tears fall down her face. When she finally speaks my heart stops. I have to get her to repeat herself. "I said okay. One chance. I won't be kept in a gilded cage. When you speak to the hellhounds; I want to go. I want to speak. I want what I have to say off my chest before the mating ceremony. You say you asked those not loyal to us as the ruling pair to leave. When I say what I have to say; just know there might be more leaving. Your parents and family; as well as some of the members of the MC may not want us to seal the bond after I say my piece. You may not want to seal the bond either. I'll find a way to be okay with that." I open my mouth to say something, b
"Dr. Williams; how many people know about the twins' abilities?" I ask looking over at a pale faced and worried Remi. We're both thinking the same thing. They're not even born yet, and already their lives are in danger. "Me, the staff that did the blood tests, and a couple of my nurses." Dr. Williams puzzled look has me scratching the back of my neck trying and failing to find the right words to explain the situation. "We need you to destroy everything. And you're going to have everyone that knows come in here one by one so that Blaze can swipe their knowledge of the twins." Remi says getting that far away look in her eye alerting me to the fact she is communicating with Blaze. "I don't understand. This is amazing, Remi. I would think this is news you'd want to share." Dr. Williams says with concern written all over her face. "I don't want anyone to know. No one can know. I'm sorry Dr. Williams, but our time is up. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my babies. Pleas
I don't beat around the bush. I just jump right into what I want to say. "First let me start by saying I can feel everything you're feeling. Sometimes I can also feel others physical pain. I can also read every single brain in this room at this moment. So, while you may not say what you think or how you feel about me. Just know; that I know. There's no use in denying it. A lot of you feel I'm careless and reckless. That I'm a shitty mother already. That I had no regard for the lives growing inside of me. That couldn't be further from the truth. I was guarded at all times. Imagine being me for just a moment. Feeling everyone's pain physical and emotional. Feeling your mate dying from five silver bullet wounds." I press my hands to each spot that Aiden was shot. "Imagine feeling helpless; knowing that backup is miles out. That they won't get here in time as you watch those you care about fall one by one to silver bullets being fired into the crowd. Imagine seeing death all around you
I take Remi's hand and lead her out of the clubhouse. Blaze and Kane follow closely behind us. We hop in her Jeep and head home. I just want to be alone with my mate for a while. When we pull into the drive way Kieran and Lucifer have followed us home. As well as Skullz, Bonez, and Xavier. I turn facing them on the steps and stop them in their tracks. "Nope. Nah. Not today guys. For the rest of the day; its just gonna be me and Remi."Kieran shakes his head. "We need to discuss the Gunner and Mace situation. And what Doc and Waylon have discovered.""I said, not today. Tomorrow morning you can all meet us here for breakfast. As a matter of fact; Lucifer you can tell Kallista to come back. Now, you fellas have a nice day." I say as I pull Remi into my side and lead her into the house. I kick the door closed and lock the doors.Remi's POVThe house is quiet. Too quiet. I pace back and forth in front of the floor to cieling windows of the living room. Its so damn quiet that I don't kno
I lay there wrapped around Aiden with my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. I watch the sun begin to rise in the sky. The once peaceful twins now kick and shove against my stomach. As the protest against being squashed between me and Aiden. Aiden rolls me over onto my back and begins to run his large hand over my protruding stomach. Aiden laughs as his hand is pushed away by a foot or a hand. He moves his hand over for the process to repeat. It's as if he's playing that old arcade game wack-a-mole with my stomach and the twins. I don't know if the twins are winning. Or Aiden is winning. But soon sleep finds me once again. I wake up to the sound of a squealing female and the smell of bacon. I'm assuming Aiden has shown Kallista her room and told her she gets to decorate it the way she wants. It could just be the impressive bathroom she has that has her all excited. I try to sit up, but fail miserably. If I'm lying. I'm dying. Because I swear my stomach has grown a hell of
