REMI

For the second time in three months; I find myself a waiting the birth of another prince. My younger brother, Xavier, the prince of the Hell hounds; was the first. The second prince we await on, is the younger brother of my best friend, Gunner. Gunner, is the prince of all shifters. His father Kieran, is known as the Dragon King. I watch as both men pace back and forth with nervousness and excitment. Kieran stops pacing long enough to fix us each a glass of scotch. I have to admit that nerves are starting to get the best of me too. We have been waiting for news from the doctor for what seems like ages. Everyone that couldn't be here for the birth of the tiny heir text Gunner and I for updates. My mother, Cerberus, impatiently awaits the birth of her best friends first child. The screams and cries of Yanessa, the Dragon King's, new chosen mate, escalate. The walls and windows of the mansion vibrate with each wail. We hear the doctor and nurses as they count down her next contraction,

My mother looks between the two of us contemplating what she will say. "You are the children of Kieran, one of the original dragon shifters. He's the dragon king. The king of shifters. You're the children of Princess Yanessa of the fae realm. Your grandfather was the first archangel created, and the first fall angel. Lucifer, is the creator and ruler of Hell. Your grandmother is Queen Illianna of the fae realm. It's not just you being a hybrid that makes you unique. It's the fact that you carry all of these royal bloodlines in your veins. You also have the abilities of the fae, angels, and shifters. Most hybrids only carry a few of their parents abilities. But you two can wield them all.""Romeo and I just stared at each other through my mirror. We didn't share our mother's enthusiasm. No matter how she spun it; we were different. Different from the mortals, paranormals, and even the hybrids. No matter what my mother said, we both knew being that different wasn't a good thing. We als

By the time we reach the shifter compound I'm calm. Depression and loneliness seeps into my skin as I look at the huge empty house. During the day the mansion is filled with paras moving about. At night with the exception of security, me, Gunner and my father; this place is a ghost town. Blaze opens my door and helps me out the back of his vehicle. He escorts me to the house and opens the door. I head inside and he follows me to the stairs. "Hey, babygirl." Blaze calls out. "Yeah." "For what it's worth. I feel you." He rubs his hand across his chest. Blaze is a vampire with abilities like mine and Romeo. We aren't your usual empaths. We don't just feel emotions. We can feel the physcial pain of those we love. "And I don't think he's stupid enough to let his fated mate slip through his fingers." I nod my head and continue my trek up the stairs to my bedroom. I let the tears I'd been fighting all night quietly slip free. I was finally alone. Truly alone with the exception of securi

Aiden's eyes never leave mine. I swear I see tears linger on his bottom eyelashes. But that could just be death playing tricks on me. "Remi!" My father's pain filled voice sounds a million miles away. "You're a dead motherfucker!" My father shouts coming closer into the room. Faces turn pale as Gold tooth raises up off of me. "Kieran, how nice of you to finally join us. Me, the princess, and the boys were just having a little fun while we waited for you." Gold tooth says as he yanks the angel blade from my thigh. Blaze and I scream in pain. My father shoots, but before his bullet meets its mark; Gold tooth lodges the blade into my stomach. I cry out, but no sound escapes my lips. Blaze lets out a blood curling roar. I don't move. I can't. Blood no longer bubbles out of me. Now it's just a trickle. I watch Gold tooth's body hit the floor. Then I close my eyes willing death to take me now. Aiden, apologizes for the pain he is causing me as he rips the knives from my body. I can't a

When we pull up to the metal gates of the clubhouse; three big hellhounds come out of the security box. They slowly walk up to Xavier's truck. My heart is pounding. What if they don't want me here? Could I blame them? The answer is no. "Sup, Rampage." The one they call Trojan asks using Xavi's hellhound's name. It also happens to be his road name. "I see you got the package. Open up boys, let them in." Trojan tells the other two. I watch as they push the gates open. Xavier drives down the narrow gravel drive way until it opens up to the paved parking lot of the clubhouse. Cerberus is waiting at the door for us with two other members of the MC. Xavier hops out of his truck and runs around to help me down. The other two members start grabbing my stuff. "What room are we putting this stuff in, Cera?" One of them asks as he picks up two giant flower arrangements. "Rage's room. Where else?" Cerberus shakes her head as she pulls me into her arms."I'm so glad I get to see that beautiful
