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 28“Leave,” Deacon growls, the sound is more animal than human and it sends a thrill through me. “Yes, Sir,” I smile, leaning down to pick up the card I’d dropped. I straighten my clothes and leave the room to find the others. He's clearly having some internal struggle and I'm not going to be the one to push him over that edge, no matter how exciting I find it. I already have Mason wanting me dead, I'd rather not add Mr Collins to that list. “Is everything okay?” Luke asks when I join them in the research room. “Yes, he was just updating me on my mum,” I smile, waving the doctor's card at him before sliding it into my jacket pocket. Theo gives me a knowing look and subtly taps his finger over his heart. I'm never going to be able to hide anything from them after today, am I? The room we are in is fully equipped with heart-monitoring equipment, floor mats and some other equipment I don't understand. Axel has his shirt off and has wires strapped to his chest and head. Damn,

    Chapter 140** Josie’s POV **I wake up alone, which is odd and not something that happens often. My stomach rumbles with hunger and my bladder screams for release. I get up with a groan, I wouldn't have minded a few extra hours of sleep. My legs are still a little unsteady after last night's antics with Deacon. He’d really gone to town to make sure I was fully satisfied. I had lost count of how many orgasms he'd given me and how many different positions he'd had me in. It had been a perfect night with him and had ended with him telling me he loved me. I smile at the memory as I head to the bathroom. I’m in desperate need of a shower so I spend a good 30 minutes washing after using the facilities and cleaning my teeth. By the time I'm done, I feel much better, my body no longer aches and I feel clean once again. I go in search of my bonds with a smile on my face, I feel lighter today, like today is going to be a good day and we finally get some good news. That is until I walk into th

    Chapter 139** Josie’s POV **The guys are acting a little off. I know they're hiding something. I just can't put my finger on what it is. Deacon had been out most of the day, meeting with his trusted contacts across the world whilst Axel and Luke had spent the day following me around. I'd barely had a moment alone which wasn't unusual but they just seemed a little extra clingy today. They're almost acting like they do when I’m in heat. Someone always with me, always ready to comfort me through my mood swings. I hadn't missed the worried glances that had passed between them when they had thought I wasn't looking and they were giving off some nervous energy. Even now, whilst I relax in the bath Axel is here, helping me wash my hair. Maybe I'm giving off some wierd pheromones or something that's making them act this way. The bathroom door opens and Deacon walks in with a hungry look in his eyes. Axel leans over and kisses the top of my head before getting up and leaving the bathroom, he

    Chapter 138** Luke’s POV **It’s been two weeks since we found out the Elders are Spark-bonded and have the ability to open the portals to get us home. Tension here in the human realm is building and if we don't do something soon this realm may be beyond repair. Multiple places of worship across all faiths have been targeted by vandals. People have emptied shops of food and other essential items in fear supplies will stop. They are scared and divided, unsure of who or what they should believe in. Some factions support Cornelius’ word, then there are those that support us and await our intervention, and then there is a group that believes all Greys should be eliminated. I feel the net is closing in on us. We can’t leave the safety of this cottage without constantly watching over our shoulders. Josie’s small bump is growing rapidly, as expected, which just adds another element of concern to our situation. It’s not safe for our child to be born here. As things are he would been born into

    Chapter 137** Josie’s POV **The doctor's clinic is small and once I check in with the receptionist we all take a seat in the waiting room. Luckily there is no one else here waiting as our group of four take up half of the space. Moments later a door opens and a small child runs out, followed by a stressed-looking, pregnant mother trying to keep up. “I’m getting a baby brother!” the little girl exclaims to the receptionist who talks with her excitedly. An older lady appears at the door and her eyes land on Deacon. She gives him a small nod and then looks at me, her face turning friendly as she smiles at me. “Good Morning, would you all like to come through?” she asks. I nod and smile as I stand up. I don’t miss the curious glance the pregnant mother casts our way as my three bonds follow me towards the doctor's door. “Thank you for agreeing to see me,” I say as I enter the room. There's a medical examination bed in the centre of the room, with what seems like a lot of technical e

    Chapter 136**Josie’s POV **Our wolves are bursting with energy, enjoying every moment they can to stretch their legs in the forest. My wolf is thrilled as she flies through the dense trees, with three of her mates hot on her tail. She pushes her limits, dodging their playful attacks with incredible agility for an exciting five minutes, her heart pounds with the thrill of the chase. Just when it seems she might escape undefeated, Deacon’s wolf manages to pounce, sending them both tumbling in a playfull roll across the ground. Luke’s wolf joins the tussle with an excited growl. Meanwhile, poor Axel is lagging behind, his massive and powerful wolf straining to keep up. It takes him a solid 30 seconds to catch up to the action and join the fun. Once they're all done playing they spend some time rubbing against each other affectionately before heading back home at a slower pace. “That was fun,” I beam when I shift back into my own body. My wolf's joy and excitement is contagious. “I ca

    Chapter 135** Mason’s POV **I don’t give a shit about what people say about me, they can all go fuck themselves for all I care, but I'm not having them talk about Theo like that. Despite how much of a brave face he puts on I know he takes their comments to heart. He's a sensitive soul in many ways. I wanted to punch a few of them or unleash some of my best aggressive tricks with my abilities but I'm supposed to be a leader now, someone they can look up to. So I did the mature thing and shut them all up without any violence. I’m sure Headmaster Collins would have been proud of me for it a few months ago. I’m not one for public displays of affection, in fact, I'm not really one for private affection. The only touching I like is fucking, but I tolerate Josie’s touch when she needs me, and maybe I'm starting to like it because I've just realised how much I miss it. I miss her needing my contact. When her warm skin is pressed against mine I feel a little more alive. Theo’s warm hand sque

    Chapter 134** Theo’s POV **“We really need to work on our porting skills,” I say breathlessly as I jog to keep up with Mason’s long, determined strides. We have relied on Deacon and Luke to port us around and now both of them are gone we are running around like headless chickens. We reach Deacon’s old office and Mason pushes the door open without knocking. “We need to speak with the elders, urgently,” he says, forgoing any kind of greeting.“Good afternoon, Mason. You know I can’t set that up easily,” Toby, one of Deacon's fathers responds from behind the desk. It's odd to see him there rather than Deacon. “Someone calling himself Cornelius Grey has just shifted on live television in the human realm and announced himself as their new God, and us as the enemy. I’m sure that warrants a visit,” Mason retorts and Toby’s eyes go wide.“Oh dear, let me see what I can do,” Toby picks up his phone and presses a button. “Hello, Sweetheart, can you try and put me through to the council?

    Chapter 133** Josie’s POV **Luke and Axel hang a large black bedsheet over the wall in the living room whilst Freya puts black face paint across Deacon’s eyes to try and disguise them as much as possible. He removes his shirt and swaps it for a plain black T-shirt and then puts the mask on.“It’s a shame I'm still mad at you, otherwise I'd suggest you wear that and chase me through the woods, if you catch me then, well, you can imagine the rest,” I purr at Deacon through the mind link. His eyes snap to me and the sight steals my breath. His eyes are even more intense surrounded by the jet-black paint. He looks fierce and so damn hot. Freya was right, the women were going to go mad for him.“I’ve heard angry sex is good,” he responds and although I can’t see his mouth I know he is smirking behind that mask. “Enough of that,” Freya snaps and I look at her in question. “Don’t look all innocent at me now, Missy, I saw the sex eyes you were both making,” she huffs. “I have no idea what

    Chapter 132** Josie’s POV **I walk back to the living room with Axel following close behind me like my shadow. I unlock my phone and hit call on Freya’s contact information. The phone rings once before her frantic voice answers.“Shit, Jo, this is bad, real bad,” she breathes down the phone. “I know, I don’t know how we are going to fix this. It's not just the rouge Greys we are against now, it's the whole damn world,” I sigh.“Not the whole world. I know the truth, and Deacon has contacts, right?” she says.“Yes, but a handful of humans and four Greys are powerless against that number,” “Then we better get to work. I'm on my way to your old place. Have your man come pick me up,” she sounds far too chipper for the situation. I glance over at Deacon who looks lost in thought. A small frown marring his face. I suspect he's still communicating with the other realm via Mason and Theo. “He’s a little busy at the moment,” I tell her, leaving the room so I don’t distract D. I head into
