Chapter 103

** Deacon’s POV **

Having Josie in my arms was worth every second of what I've been through. It's been two weeks of hell followed by hours of being trapped between realms that really tested my resolve. The emptiness of the void is enough to drive anyone to madness. If I hadn't had such an important reason to stay focused and get out of there I doubt if have made it out. The darkness of that place creeps quickly into your mind, trying to consume you. I had felt bones under my feet of the poor souls lost there before me. I won't risk taking Josie there, especially not now I suspect she carries a child. I have to come up with a new plan and find a way to communicate with the other side. Right now I can only think of two options. I stay here and raise the child with Josie until we can find a way back. Or I can attempt to get back through alone to get the help of the others. The first option is the safest for everyone but it comes at a massive cost to us all. I fear Luke will a

    Chapter 104 ** Josie’s POV ** Deacon holds my hand all the way back to the bed and breakfast and I feel like a giddy teenager holding hands with a boy for the first time. He's done a full 180 on me. He's gone from doing everything he could to avoid me to not being able to keep his hands off me. I dont know if it's because of everything that's happened over the last few weeks or if he has some lasting effects from his head injury. I need to ask him when we are alone. I won't allow things to go any further unless I'm sure this is really what he wants. “I’m so looking forward to a full night's sleep,” Freya moans when we get to our room and I collect some of my belongings to move to the room Deacon has been allocated. “You’ve been sleeping just fine,” I frown at her. “No I haven’t, your insistent pacing wakes me up multiple times,” she huffs. “You’re going to miss me really,” I laugh. “Girl, I love you, but I need my sleep,” she hugs me before ushering us out of the door.

    Chapter 105** Josie’s POV **Deacon stands at the end of the bed and my hand stills as my eyes roam his body. I'd seen him shirtless once before and I'm pretty sure it had triggered my heat. He's perfectly toned, not quite as bulky as Axel but definitely a bigger build than my other bonds. “You started without me so now I'm going to watch you finish,” he says with a husky tone as he kneels on the end of the bed. I suddenly feel self-conscious and close my knees together as a flush creeps over my chest and face. “Hmm, don’t tell me you've gone shy now, Miss Banks,” he runs his hands up my shins and stops at my knees, gently prying them apart and moving to kneel between my legs. The way he looks at me has all my inhibitions melting away and I want to rip the towel from him and tell him I changed my mind. I want to bond with him so badly. “Want to play a game, Sir?” I ask as I run a finger along my slit.“What game?” he hums, his eyes transfixed on what my fingers are doing. “It’s ca

    Chapter 106** Josie’s POV **How is this happening? Mason is 22 years old, he shouldn't be fertile. I get up off of the bed and begin pacing. Trying to keep my breathing under control before I have a full-blown panic attack.“This doesn't make sense. You said none of them were fertile yet,” my voice shakes and I feel my bonds all reacting to the surge of emotions twisting through me like a tornado. “It's extremely rare. It could have been something to do with the healing he was having but I can't say for sure. I'm not even 100% sure you are pregnant, we'd need to confirm it with a test but I can smell him on you and that's the only possible explaination I have for that,” Deacon explains.“I’m going to change my name to Rare because every time you tell me something is rare it happens!” I throw my arms up in the air dramatically. “This is all going to be okay, Josie, we will work it all out. I'm going to take care of you, both of you,” Deacon soothes as he stops my pacing, wrapping h

    Chapter 107** Theo’s POV **This is not how I planned to spend the rest of this year! I was supposed to be having crazy sex parties with my bond group and learning how to use my gifts ready to defend the realm at some point in the distant future. Instead, I'm tramping across a muddy field in December, freezing my ass off whilst I lug a tent, sleeping bags, food and drinks to Mason because he refuses to come back to the apartment. I’m also alone. Which should be pretty much impossible for someone in such a large bond group. Josie is trapped in a different realm. Deacon is hopefully with her but potentially trapped in the void or already dead. Luke is being a taxi service to collect everyone with a molecular gift. Axel is still being a psycho wolf and Mason is trying to kill himself by working himself into the ground whilst we wait for a sign that Josie and Deacon are coming back through. Life is awesome! Mason doesn't even notice my return, too focused on manipulating the opening into

    Chapter 108** Josie’s POV **I awake wrapped in Deacon’s arms. I can't keep the smile from my face, it wasn't a dream. I am bonded with Mr Collins! I close my eyes, absorbing the feel of his body against mine when I suddenly remember the other life-changing event. I'm freaking pregnant! I wonder how my bonds are going to take this news. Will they be happy? I think Theo will be excited. Axel will probably become even more protective. Luke will no doubt focus on how this happened and Mason will… crap I have no idea how Mason is going to react to this. He doesn't have a good family experience. Will that make him more determined to show this baby how a family should be? Or will he hate the idea of having to raise a child?“Everything will be okay,” Deacon says in a groggy tone as if he's not fully awake yet. His hand moves to my abdomen, holding me protectively. “How do you think Mason is going to react?” I ask and Deacon is silent for a moment and my nerves wind tighter.“I’m not sure,

    Chapter 109** Mason’s POV **Josie’s nervous about something, I can feel it. It's very similar to how my empath gift works except I've not worked out how to block it yet. Not that I'd block Josie right now. I want to feel her every emotion, it is all I have of her. I could do without Axel’s constant self-loathing though. I already have enough of that of my own. “Fucking Mason!” I swear I hear Josie cursing me as my heart rate picks up and another rush of mixed emotions comes from her. I glance around, half convinced I’ll see her standing behind me.“Josie?” I say when I don’t see her. I'm positive I heard her. Maybe this is it. My mind has finally broken.“Mace, I think you need to take another break,” Theo says softly, his eyes glancing around us and I feel his concern growing. I think he's right.“Mason, shit, can you hear me?” I hear Josie’s voice clearer this time and I spin quickly. “Yes, where are you?” I say. Theo takes my arm and tries to lead me towards the tent but I shak

    Chapter 110** Josie’s POV **I try to reconnect with Mason but no matter how much I shout there's no response. I wish I knew how it worked. Right now I feel like we are surfing radio channels on a walkie-talkie and hoping we both land on the same frequency at the same time. A rush of love pulses from Luke and I know he must be with Mason and Theo now.I’m happy that I connected with Mason when I did, he might not know it but he was there the moment I confirmed I was carrying his child. If anyone should have been there then it was him. It makes me feel a little less guilty for keeping this hidden. I had wanted so desperately to tell him I loved him, but I'm pretty sure it would have made him uncomfortable. Plus when I do tell him, I want to be looking into his eyes. I eat breakfast with D and Freya in stunned silence. There's just so much to process. “You know I’ve got you, right? I’m going to be the best auntie to that little bean, and no matter what happens you are not alone in thi

    Chapter 111** Deacon’s POV **The mind link with our bond group is extraordinary. It is truly a blessing for every situation we might find ourselves in. I will need to research into it more when we return to Greys realm. It's also an indication that as a group we are incredibly more powerful than I'd first thought. “For those of us who aren't experienced porters and haven't had the training, could you make this simple?” Theo asks. I think for a moment of a way to explain this in a way they might all understand.“Imagine a huge room with a corridor that runs the entire length through the middle, separating it into two rooms. The corridor has multiple doors that line each side so you can walk through one door to a door directly opposite that leads to the other room. The corridor is very dark and it is easy to become lost inside but if you walk straight from one door to the other it's not a problem. Now you are in one room and we are in the other, and all the doors on your side have bee

Everyone will be here because they love us and our baby and they're excited to find out the gender. I don’t think they care if the table layout is up to standard,” Luke says.“You're right,” I nod. “I just feel this pressure to make it perfect, I need to prove to your families I'm capable of doing this, I want to prove I'm worthy of being in this bond group and that I'll be a good mother to their grandchildren,” I admit. “They already know that, and more importantly, we know that. You have nothing to prove, Babe. This is supposed to be a fun day for us all to be together with everyone we care about, so relax and enjoy it,” Theo pulls me to him and Luke steps up to my

    Chapter 167** Josie’s POV **Once both my men are gloriously naked I watch them for a while as they explore each other's mouths. It’s clear Mason is letting Theo take the lead here, which confirms what I thought Mason needed from us. “Take charge of him, Theo, he needs it,” I say into the mind link. Theo breaks the kiss and looks over at me with a subtle nod.“Our girl is looking lonely on that bed, don't you think?” he asks. Mason turns his head and his eyes land on me before he nods.“Get on the bed and crawl to her, Mace,” Theo whispers.Mason steps up to the bottom of the bed and casts a glance at Theo behind him before getting on the bed and crawling up to kneel between my legs. I sit up to meet him and pull his head towards mine kissing him briefly before I lie back. Theo comes to kneel on the bed beside us and his hand moves straight to my sex. “Look how wet she is for you,” Theo hums, spreading me for Mason to see just how much I want him, before plunging two fingers insi

    Chapter 166** Josie’s POV **It had taken almost a week to fully recover from the psychic attack from Cornelius. I had spent most of that time in bed with Mason. We watched movies and slept a lot for the first few days. On day three Mason felt back to normal, but due to my pregnancy and that I had depleted my energy to fuel the rest of my bonds I'd needed longer. The rest of my bonds have been navigating the aftermath and keeping me and Mason informed. We recently learned that Cornelius was confirmed as spark bonded, which adds another layer of betrayal to his entire scheme. When Cornelius died, one of the females captured by Raff’s team became distraught, screaming in anguish over her loss. Three other males tried to console her in the holding cell, revealing their identities in the process. I chose not to find out what happened to them afterwards. I can’t imagine the depth of her pain in losing one of her bonds, even if he had committed terrible acts. The thought of her dealing wit

    Chapter 165** Theo’s POV **I move to intercept a wolf running towards Josie. I step in its path just in time for the little shit to launch up and latch painfully onto my arm, dragging me down with it. The wolf suddenly disappears from on top of me, seconds before it was about to chomp down on my face. I sit up and look around in confusion. Josie lets out a pained cry from behind me and I jump to my feet, turning just in time to see her drop to her knees. I rush forward with a burst of energy, catching her before she falls forward and she goes limp in my arms. I look at Mason in a panic, which only increases when I see he is on the floor, twitching and groaning. Luke is nowhere to be seen.“What the fuck is going on? I need help here!” I scream into the mind link. I lay Josie down next to Mason, ready to protect them both when Luke appears.“I’ll get them out of here. Go help Deacon and Axel,” Luke says before leaning down and touching Josie and Mason before porting out with them.

    Chapter 164** Josie’s POV **Cornelius stands in the centre, dressed in black and wearing a bulletproof vest. He looks as arrogant as hell whilst he laps up the attention of his worshipers. People cheer and clap, drowning out the booing from outside the park fence. I look around at all the people, there are a full range from babies to elderly and I hate that they have no idea who this guy is and that they are just unwitting pawns in a game they never chose. We have to free them, we are their last line of defence. We swore we would save this realm and we are about to prove it, no matter the cost.I spot Mason and Theo moving into position and I glance over to where I know Axel and Luke should be. Once we see them we begin to move too, weaving our way through the crowd. I recognise a few of the faces along the way and feel a little more at ease when I see them shadowing the more vulnerable members of the audience, ready to protect them. When I am happy with my position I stop, letting m

    Chapter 163** Josie’s POV **Deacon and I port into an empty apartment in a building that overlooks the park, whilst Luke, Axe, Mason and Theo port to a disused train line in the underground station across the street. Some of Raff’s team are already here and some have even managed to compel themselves onto the security team. We know Cornelius will have informed his team to be on the lookout for bonded groups so it’s important that as a female I am only seen with one male, otherwise we may draw suspicion. This theory is confirmed when a single female with a group of three males is stopped at the gate and pulled to one side. We can't see what is done to them from here as they are led into a large white tent. I hold my breath as we wait, only releasing it when they exit the tent unharmed.“Probably using compulsion to question them. If we get pulled in, remember to draw on Axel’s blocking gift and make your gaze look vacant. Imagine you are in a daydream and answer their questions quic

    Chapter 161** Josie’s POV **By the time we port into the human realm, I have already been made to make what feels like a thousand promises to get out if I'm in danger. The guys are on edge, which is almost crippling me through the bond. Mason is pacing my small childhood living room as we wait for Freya to arrive and I fear the cheap carpet is not going to survive much longer. I sit down on the couch with a sigh as Luke makes me some tea. Deacon, Theo and Axel have gone on a little scouting mission, checking security near the park where the meet-and-greet is. The location had been released less than an hour ago and people are already gathering in the area. Theo told me people are holding up makeshift signs calling for us to save them, which gives me hope that we will face little resistance from the humans. A sudden flutter in my abdomen has my breath catching in my throat and Mason is kneeling in front of me in a flash.“What’s wrong?” he asks, gripping my knees. The mind link be

    Chapter 160** Luke’s POV **We arrive back at the training ground with a few minutes to spare. Josie sits on a dusty old tyre whilst eating a banana that Theo’s mum insists will help with the swelling in her feet and ankles. We also all agreed that will will take her to the infirmary for a check-up once we are done here. Not just because of the swelling but to give us all a little peace of mind that she is fit to come with us tomorrow. My family was overjoyed when I told them about the Little Bean. My mum had even cried with joy and told me how proud she was, which I find an odd thing to be proud of. I didn't actually do anything. “Does anyone think it’s odd that my mum is proud of me for Josie being pregnant?” I ask the others, unable to get the thought from my head. “I think she probably means she is proud you are growing up maybe?” Josie shrugs. “But I'm not, I'm no different than I would be if you weren't pregnant,” I shrug. “And even if it was me that biologically fathered t

    Chapter 160** Axel’s POV **My biological father seems to be making a little more effort with me than usual, although it’s still minimal. My mother and two other fathers are still as disinterested as ever. They're all only here to be a part of something. They don’t care about saving the human realm, they just want to be able to say they were there. They think it will bring them some respect. I could put them out of their misery and tell them I am a part of the Spark bond, that their son they thought was such a disappointment for having strength-based gifts is who they are now here to see, who they are excited to meet, but it feels like a little revenge to have them sitting at the table with the Spark bonded group and have no idea for a while. I hope they feel stupid when they realise. “I heard a rumour that your headmaster is a part of the Spark bonded group, is that true?” my mum asks, her eyes searching out Deacon in the crowd.“Yes, he is,” I nod. “He’s a fine man, his bond is
