"Remington," I whispered. I was sure that there were cameras or something in the room, but I didn't give a fuck at the moment.
Another groan. "Remington!" I said again.
"Pax?"
"Fuck. It probably sounds awful to say this, but it's good to see you, man."
And it was.
There was so much fucking relief floating through my body right then that I wasn't alone. Maybe I was an evil asshole for thinking that, but Remington had just saved my sanity.
"Paxton!" Remington called, waking up enough to realize exactly who was talking to him. "Where are we?" he asked a few seconds later, and I heard the rattle of his cage. "Fuck, what did he put us in?"
"A dog cage," I drawled. “Nice touch, isn't it?"
"Fuck," spit out Remington. I heard movement and he groaned again.
"How did you get caught?" I asked.
"My kid brother's birthday party. Went to open the door for my aunt…and honestly, I don't remember much after that."
"How's Aurora?" I said softly, getting to what I actually cared about. Not that I didn’t care about Remington, but Aurora…Aurora was my soulmate.
He let out a dreamy sigh. I would've scoffed at him, but thinking about Aurora made me feel the same fucking way.
I was honestlymorethan desperate for her. It felt like a necessary thing to my existence. Without her, I hadn't been sleeping at all. Not that you could get very much sleep in my current situation, but it was like my body was refusing to cooperate in any form or fashion.
"She’s our perfectly bloodthirsty baby," Remington said.
"Perfectly bloodthirsty baby?"
"Of course she was desperately missing you," Remington hurriedly said, like he was worried I was going to be offended.
But I wasn't.
This thing with Aurora felt irrevocable. Like a permanent tattoo on my heart to match the one she'd given me on my skin. I knew she was feeling the loss of me just as much as I was feeling the loss of her.
“And the thing with Cain's dad?" I pressed.
"Everyone else is fine too. Thanks for your concern," he said sarcastically, and I rolled my eyes. They were all my brothers, but it was Aurora that I thought about every second, and I knew that if they were with her, they were okay.
It was just when she was alone…
Remington sighed. "We stole weapons from him. And then Cain's mom stabbed him, so you know…"
“She stabbed him?" I gasped, trying to picture Rebecca stabbing anyone.
I guess Cain's madness had to come from somewhere. The thought made me disappointed. She tried to step in as a makeshift mother to me, and although we hadn't been close for quite some time… It was just another way that a parental figure had disappointed me.
“It was a whole thing,“ Remington commented.
“How’s Cain taking that?”
Remington shrugged, not bothering to answer that one. Which I didn’t blame him for.
Cain was Cain. A little thing like his mother stabbing him in the back probably wouldn’t be that much of a concern for him. Man or woman. Cain didn’t discriminate with his “don’t give a fuck.”
Remington continued to catch me up with all that had happened since I’d been taken. And then proceeded to give me details of everything that had happened since he’d been gone—complete with a description of how his stocks were doing at the moment.
