Once I have my orders. I put my game face on. I stand in the mirror looking at myself. Sometimes I wish this wasn't my life. I feel like I was meant for so much more. I feel like I could do better. Be better, ya know. Under the circumstances this was how my life came to pass. Imma ghost. A myth. Parents use my name to keep their little ones in line. I appear when Remi summons. Until then I could be anyone you pass on the steet. I can get into your head no matter how strong a shield you have up. I can make you see what I want you to see. I can read every thought you have. I can kill you with the flick of my little pinky. All these powers trapped inside this little body is what makes me the most feared creature. It's not just my powers that has people running scared. It's my need to inflict pain. Or it could be the fact that the beast trapped inside me could destroy the world around us. Imma twisted little bitch. I like to find that one being you love or desire more than anything and

I turn to look at Blaze. He's just as pissed as me. "I know you didn't know. I know you only knew they were looking for a specific female. I know you didn't know who or what she was. Remi will know of this. She will be just as pissed off as I am. Maybe even more so.""I expect as much. All I was going to say; is try and see it from their point of view.""Blaze, I don't give a fuck about their point of view. A lie by omission is still a fucking lie! I don't do lies. Not when we're supposed to be family. Not when I entrust my life to them."The ride back to my penthouse is quiet. I pull into the parking spot next to Remi's truck. Tonight was a rough night. The roughest in years. I need Remi just as much as she needs me. We both have shit to process and think about. The threat to this female and Remi; hits too close to home for me. I have to find the female before it's too late. And I have to put a stop to the threat against Remi. As soon as I enter the penthouse I put on some workout

"Aiden...." I plead for him to end the maddness brewing inside of me. Slowly he pushes into me. His tongue flicks over my right then left nipple. This time is different from any time before. We move slowly and in sync. Aiden stare into my eyes and I see the change in them reflected back at me. No claws. No canines. My dragon and his hellhound just peak through our eyes to the one they belong too. They savor the feel of our bodies coming together. As they become one the pressure builds. A swivel of his hips. Slowly moving in and out. Holding himself deep inside of me with another swivel of his hips. I meet him; slow long deep thrust after thrust. "Fuck baby you feel so damn good. I love your tight little pussy." Aiden groans. His words cause the inferno to grow larger. The world tilts on it's axis as he kisses me slowly. My breath catches. A tingle starts in my toes. The higher the tingle climbs the more intense the building pressure becomes. The pressure builds and builds until it h

When I pull into the cirular driveway of the giant white brick mansion; there's cars here that shouldn't be. We turn left and drive to the gardens of the old shifter compound. Only stopping once Payne can longer take being confined. Sobs ravage my body again. The pain of my heart and body overtaking everything. Nothing matters. I don't matter. That realization has Payne acting out if full force. I double over in agony hitting the horn of the truck. With the blaring of the horn males coming running around the house and surround my truck. I open my door and spill out onto the pebbled walkway of the garden. Sharp tiny rocks drive into my palms and knees. I struggle to right myself as my father comes barreling through the crowd. As he pushes and shoves his way through the crowd with my brother hot on his heels; I crawl away as fast as I can. "Remi, sweetheart...." My father's worried shouts sound more like whispers. Blaze and my father are on either side of me. Gunner keeps the securit

All of Aiden's emotions and certain memories assult me; coming through the thread that connects us. It's too much all at once. I clutch at my chest and stomach gasping for air. I can't breathe. I can't speak. A sound like that of a wounded animal comes from my chest. Tears sting my eyes. My heart bangs against my chest as if trying to break free. "Remi! Remi, I need you to calm down and breathe. Listen to me. Deep breath in. Now slowly breathe out." I shake my head trying to shove my father away. He's crowding me. The walls are closing in on me. Dark spots invade my vision. It feels as though my lungs are collapsing. "Remi, deep breath in. Exhale slowly. Come on sweetheart. In. Now out. In. Out." Kieran rubs circles on my back as he coaches me on how to get my breathing under control. Eventually I no longer feel the panic. As soon as I feel as though my world isn't collapsing in on me; I throw up a shield blocking everything and everyone out. I don't want to feel anything. Not my em
