Minutes pass by as I shuffle through Aiden's memories. Female after female passes before my eyes. None of them resemble each other. It's as if Aiden was at an all you can fuck female buffet and he sampled the whole damn buffet. They all had two things in common. One, they were all beautiful. Two, they all wanted to bare his children. A few of them had a child before they got with Aiden. It was heart breaking to see how he interacted with their children. Treating them as if they were his own. After seeing this; there's no way he could tell me he was fine with not having children. My heart broke all over again. I want to stop digging. But I owe it to myself to look for the truth. I continue to flip through his memoried like a rolodex. I figure out how to skip through them until I find the ones with Savanah. Like so many others; Savanah is a clingy attention whore. The night he tells her about me; she totally loses her shit. Like full on batshit crazy. She throws stuff around the house

It's been weeks since we last saw Aiden. Weeks since that morning my life came crashing down around me. It has been one week since I accessed Aiden's memories and seen for myself that he hadn't cheated on me. Just when I was ready to talk to him to try and fix things. He shattered my cold black heart all over again. It nearly killed me when I linked into our bond only to find out he was thinking about going to her. I gave up. I didn't fight Remi or lash out. I didn't have to because Remi did. Then she put up a shield so strong; that even if I wanted to take a peak at what he was up to. I couldn't. I've come to the conclusion that even if I can't have all the things I wanted out of life. I still have Remi. And she has me. All we need is each other to get through this. Yeah, she keeps me locked away most of the time. But she does it for our own good. My need for violence and vengeance seem to have tapered off. The anger that's always brewing and storming inside my veins is calmer. I'

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

"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."

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
