Chapter 124** Luke’s POV **I can’t remember the last time I slept this well. I don’t want it to end, but I'm sure we are going to be late for classes. I groan and nuzzle my head into Josie’s chest. I can smell Mason, Axel and Deacon on her but she still smells amazing. My wolf enjoys being able to
Chapter 125** Josie’s POV **Luke goes quiet whilst I sip the awful ginger and mint tea. The taste is bad but it really does help keep the sickness at bay. I’m desperate to tell Luke about the little bean, hell I want to scream it to the whole world, but he’s still recovering from his ordeal in the
Chapter 126** Luke’s POV **Josie’s lust washes over me like a tidal wave, stealing my breath and my cock instantly hardens. Filthy thoughts of everything I want to do to that beautiful woman run through my mind and my hand begins to stroke my erection in the shower without permission. I reluctantl
Chapter 127** Josie’s POV **Luke collapses onto my back, both of us completely spent. We breathe heavily in tandem as we come back down to earth. Once he's recovered enough he begins placing kisses over my shoulder blades. I hear Axel and Deacon leave the room, giving me and Luke a moment alone.
Chapter 128** Mason’s POV **I startle awake from what started off as a fantastic dream involving Josie and Theo, that had been until my father had walked into the bedroom, his whip lashing across my back. I lay in my bed breathing heavily, my body is wet with a fine sheen of sweat. “You’re fuckin
Chapter 129** Josie’s POV **I fan my flushed face at the desire flooding the bond from Theo and Mason. I'm so pleased for them and so freaking proud because Theo has somehow convinced Mason to drop his shields completely. I feel his raw emotions for the first time and it is both soul-crushing and
“What’s gotten your heart beating like that?” Luke asks, taking the box from me, “perineal massage oil,” he reads the box, “ I volunteer,” he adds eagerly. “It says to start using 8 weeks before the due date,” Axel informs him. “I don’t think I can do this,” I breathe, panic creeping up on me.“Yo
Chapter 30** Axel’s POV **Josie jumps up from the couch, stomping out of the room.“I've got it,” I say, dropping from the mind link and following closely behind her, ready to catch her if she slips because her feet are still covered in lotion. When she gets to the bathroom she slams the door in m
Chapter 235** Deacon’s POV **The minutes tick by at a snail's pace as every inch of the underground network is uncovered. Only the section my bond group had been in had collapsed, or more likely, had been purposely destroyed. We only find one more teen, who was not buried but had been trapped in
Chapter 234** Josie’s POV **“Luke?” I ask again, even though I know he won’t hear me. Maybe he is just knocked out and unable to respond, but then why can’t I feel him at all? Usually, I can sense all of my bonds, even when they’re sleeping. I don’t even want to think of what else could have him
Chapter 233** Josie’s POV **I can’t think of my daughter living in this place for weeks, and the thought of other kids living here even longer is breaking my heart. Children need warmth and a clean living space. They need a safe place to sleep that is not a thin mat on a filthy floor underground.
Chapter 232** Mason’s POV **The moment I’ve been longing for for weeks has finally come, and I can barely speak. I can’t tell my daughter everything I have been wanting to tell her. The words just won't come out. So, instead, I go into management mode. We don’t have the luxury of riding off into t
Chapter 231** Josie’s POV **Luke wakes us up in the best way possible. He’s found Harper, and she’ll be coming home soon. I can already feel the excitement bubbling inside me as I pace the kitchen, imagining the moment when I can finally wrap my arms around her. The thought that she is safe fills
Chapter 230** Luke’s POV **Once Harper’s initial shock of realising it’s me passes, a wide grin spreads over her face, and she steps towards me. A hand reaches out to grab her arm, stopping her.“What’s going on here? Do you know him?” The woman with the wild eyes that announced breakfast asks as
Chapter 229** Luke’s POV **I almost gag at the smell. These are awful living conditions and I hate that my daughter and the rest of these kids have been forced to live this way. It’s inhumane. They need daylight and clean facilities. “I don’t like it, they shouldn’t be here,” a gruff male voice s
Chapter 228** Luke's POV **Brent gives me a tour, which takes only a few minutes. There is a communal type area with dirty pillows on the floor and makeshift tables made out of wooden pallets. Brent tells me breakfast will be served here in the morning. There are stacks of board games and playing
Chapter 227** Luke’s POV **I take the opportunity of being alone to communicate with my bond group. I close my eyes, pretending to sleep in case anyone comes in to check on us. I open up the mind link. “Robert made it through the compulsion, but he’s not doing so well. He is sleeping,” I say, get
