Fractured Chapter 20
Chapter 20 I quickly close my eyes again and try to keep my breathing even, feigning sleep. I don't want to face Mr Collins right now. I'm still hurt and I'm too embarrassed at my reaction to his stunt. He won that round and broke me. I won't let him see me weak again but need time to compose myself. “The seer will arrive after breakfast tomorrow, you two can't be anywhere near her when the reading is done. If you have a bond we don't want it overshadowing any other bonds. I'm going to have the seer collect her from her room. Keep Marcus, Cole and Damien here with her and you two attend your morning classes as normal,” Mr Collins tells the guys. “Fine,” Theo agrees, his tone unfriendly. “Is there anything else? If not, I think you should leave before she wakes up,” Luke says and I can feel the unwelcoming vibes from here. My guys are still pissed at our dear headmaster. Good. “You might not agree with what I did today but I won't have you disrespecting me. I'm your headmast

Chapter 21We sit at Dot’s table for dinner. Damien joins Sunny and another group at the next table. Sunny gives me a small wave, which I return. I choose a carbonara-type dish with garlic bread and chocolate cake for dessert. Dot is unusually quiet, she avoids eye contact with me and I start to feel worried. Had I made that much of a fool of myself in the assembly that she doesn't want to be seen with me anymore? “Dot, is everything okay?” I ask nervously. “Yes,” she answers a little too quickly. “I'm sorry if I…” I begin but she holds up her hand, stopping me. Then she taps her ear and glances around the room. I frown at her and she repeats the motion. “It's fine Josie, if anyone deserves the last piece of chocolate cake today, it's you. You are forgiven,” she says cheerfully. Huh? I look at my cake in confusion and then back to her. She rolls her eyes in exasperation and pulls out her phone. Seconds later my phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out to read the notification.

Chapter 22I wake in the morning, 5 minutes before my alarm is due to go off. Nerves flutter in my abdomen at the thought of what today will bring. I practice some of the breathing techniques that June taught me before a panic attack can fully take me in its grip. “I've got this. Everything is going to get easier after today,” I tell myself out loud. I spend longer than usual in the shower, enjoying the solitude and imagining what my life will look like after today. I wonder if Luke will join me for morning showers and if Theo will hold me every night whilst I sleep. Maybe Deacon will… Nope! I shut that train of thought down immediately. I put a little more effort into my appearance than I did yesterday. If I am going to be forced into finding out who my soulmates are today, then I least want to look good doing it. A knock at my door comes too quickly. I'm not ready.“Girl, open up, it's me,” Dot’s voice calls through the door. Good. I open the door and she enters my room like a whir

Chapter 23The men move silently. A group of about 12 standing side by side. My heart beats wildly in my chest. Here we go. I spot Theo in the line of men, he gives me a reassuring smile and motions for me to breathe. The seer walks down the line of men, she stops in front of Theo and places a hand on his shoulder with a nod, then she continues down the line. Theo has the biggest grin and I know he's dying to run over to me. The seer stops again and we both look to see who else she has selected. It's the copper-haired man with the shy smile. Axel, I think his name was. He stares at me a little wide-eyed and his cheeks flush red. I think he may be in shock. The seer walks away without a word and I follow, Theo and Axel fall into step behind me as we silently go to collect the rest of my bonds. This is so weird. Sage leads us into the main study building, we pass door after door and then suddenly she stops and turns to face one of the doors. Damien steps forward and knocks on the door

Chapter 24I slam the door to my room and fling myself onto the bed, burying my face into my pillow and screaming all my frustration into it. Why would I get Mason as a bond? He hates me almost as much as I hate him. I can't believe I almost felt sorry for him! I thought maybe I'd misunderstood him, that behind the tough exterior was a scared and damaged man. “Fuck you, Mason!” I scream into the pillow. Letting all my rage flow out in my words. I'm so done with all of this. I want to go home. “Josie stop!” I hear as hands pull at me, lifting me from the bed. I struggle against the hold on me.“Get off of me! I just want to go home!” I shout, and then I'm overcome with the urge to vomit. I stumble out of the arms that were holding me and double over, clutching my stomach as I wretch.“Shh, it's okay, it will pass,” Luke’s voice soothes rubbing slow circles on my back. “What's happening?” I ask, my vision blurry and my ears ringing. “Well I'm no expert but I'm guessing you just disc

Chapter 25I sway my hips to the music as I slowly begin to undress. Luke’s eyes flash with a blue glow as he watches me, enraptured. “You seem to be wearing far too many clothes, Mr Weston,” I say when I get down to nothing but my plain black underwear. Luke moves quickly. Getting to his feet and kicking off his shoes to allow his pants and boxers to fall away. He pulls off his socks before getting to work on the buttons of his shirt, revealing a toned chest and tight abdomen. He's perfect. Once he's naked he watches me expectedly. I reach around and unhook my bra, throwing it across the room. Then I push down my panties, shimmying out of them and letting them fall to the floor as I step towards him. His hands land on my hips and he looks down at me.“You are so beautiful,” he whispers before branding his lips to mine. We move towards the bed, our lips never parting as I push him down and climb on top of him. I sit atop him and take a moment to look down and appreciate him. How did

Chapter 26Mr Collins stands motionless at the end of the bed, his jaw is tense and his fists clenched. “Deacon?” I ask, still a little dazed and unsure if this is a dream or reality. I lift my head and look down at the bare chest I'd been using as a pillow. Luke breathes steadily, still sleeping peacefully. Then a horrifying thought occurs to me. I'm naked. “Shit,” I curse. Trying to wrench the covers from under Luke and waking him in the process.“What’s wrong?” he asks, suddenly alert. Then he relaxes when he notices Mr Collins. “I see the search party found us,” he grumbles. My hand lands on a shirt and I quickly put it on. By the size, it must be Luke’s which is fine because it covers a little more than mine would.“Haven't you heard of knocking?” I ask, my voice laced with acid. Mr Collins remains frozen and it's starting to freak me out. “That is not how a headteacher should be staring at his student, Sir,” Luke mocks, clearly still as bitter as me about his words in assembly

Chapter 27I follow Luke into the first room and my jaw drops. It’s huge! And that bed is almost the size of my entire room at home. It must have bedding specially made for it because that’s no standard size. “Well this one is obviously yours,” Luke laughs at my expression.“What? I can't sleep in that, I'll get lost,” “Then it's lucky you have plenty of men close by to come find you,” he hums leaning down to kiss me. I indulge him for a moment before, breaking away to explore further. Luke follows as I check out the next room, it's nice. It's much more modest with a king-size bed.“I'll take this one, you can have the other,” I tell him.“Not sure that's going to work,” he laughs.“Why not?” “Because, my little goddess,” he pauses to grip my hips from behind and kiss my shoulder, “I don't think we would all fit in this bed,” he chuckles.“Excuse me? I will not be having everyone in my bed, at the same time,” I exclaim, feeling quite offended at his suggestion. “My bet is we will

Chapter 168** Josie’s POV **“Babe, calm down, it's going to be perfect,” Theo says as I attempt to rearrange the tables by the pool again.“What if everyone hates it and never wants to go to a gender reveal party ever again?” I ask, covering my face with my hands in an attempt to calm myself. “Why would they hate it? 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
Fractured Chapter 167
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
Fractured Chapter 166
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
Fractured Chapter 165
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.
Fractured Chapter 164
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
Fractured Chapter 163
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
Fractured Chapter 162
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
Fractured Chapter 161
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
Fractured Chapter 160
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
