Fractured Chapter 29
Chapter 29Power surges through my hand and a flash of blue light blinds me. I stumble back. Alarms are blurring and everything is dark. “Don’t touch her!” I hear James warn someone.“I’ve got her,” Theo’s voice soothes as his arms wrap around me. “It’s okay Jose, you're safe,” Alarms continue to scream incessantly and I realise what it is, I've heard it on TV before. It's the sound of someone flatlining. Mason's heart has stopped. Theo had told me this had happened to him but I thought he meant for just a second, this feels like too long.“Mason,” I gasp, panic gripping me.“Give him a minute,” Theo says softly. My vision suddenly returns and I see Mason sprawled out on the mat, completely still. “Why is he not waking up? You were awake by the time my vision returned,” I say, my voice trembling. Tense seconds tick by as we all watch Mason. “40 seconds,” James calls. “Brain function active,” Sarah adds.“Prepare for defib,” James instructs and Sarah quickly moves closer to Mason
Fractured Chapter 30
Chapter 30“Bullshit!” Luke exclaims.“You're lying,” Theo accuses. “You were all there, the seer did not identify me as one,” Deacon shrugs as if it's no big deal.“That was because the commotion broke her trance before she was done,” Luke protests.“I spoke with her afterwards and she said she was done, she only identified four bonds for Josie. Now let's get finished here so we can all leave,” Deacon orders, closing down any further conversation on it. The guys all look at him with suspicion, none of them fully believing this. Why would he kiss me like he did if he knew we weren't bonds? Maybe it's a fetish of his to kiss other men's bonds, Clarrisa’s bonds may be missing but she is still a bonded woman. I bring my fingers to my mouth. Remembering how it felt to kiss him. How can something that felt so right be so wrong? I know I should probably be angry or hurt, but all I feel is numbness. Anything I'd felt growing between myself and Deacon was wrong, it has to stop. He is my head
Fractured Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Luke’s coffee is almost as good as the Starbucks one. I’m impressed by his barista machine and skills. Axel also enjoys it and declares he’ll only be drinking the ‘human stuff’ from now on. Luke tells us how he sneaks to the human realm often to get supplies and I insist he takes me with him next time. He reluctantly agrees, but only after I threaten to attempt to go there by myself. The guys all go to shower and dress and I’m left alone to explore our new apartment. The living and kitchen area is open plan with five doors leading off to each bedroom with an en-suite for each one. There is a large grey corner sofa that could easily fit six people and it’s centred around a sleek black coffee table. A flat-screen TV hangs on the wall. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook meals and there's a large black glass table that seats six. I wonder why there are kitchens in these apartments when there is a dining hall that provides every meal. I guess some bond groups like to eat pr
Fractured Chapter 32
Chapter 32Once the dining hall has cleared out there's a tense silence as we all wait for Mason to explain.“Well?” Mr Collins demands. I can only see his feet from my position behind the wall of muscle. The dagger clatters to the floor in between Mason and Mr Collins’ feet. “Someone threw that at us. It was heading straight at Josie’s head,” Mason explains. “And you saw it and managed to intercept it?” Mr Collins asks, his tone sounds accusing. “Yes, I did,” Mason growls. “Did anyone else see this happen?” Mr Collins asks. “I did, Mason acted before I could even open my mouth to warn anyone,” Joe admits.“Very well. Does anyone know who threw it or see anything suspicious?” he asks and we all say no. “Get to class, I'll get to the bottom of this. Well done, all of you, you acted quickly and kept your bonds safe,” he says before picking up the dagger and walking away. He didn't even ask if I was okay. Asshole. Dot and her bonds head to class after she warns us all to stay safe
Fractured Chapter 33
Chapter 33Theo follows my gaze and I feel his arms tighten around me a little. Then his eyes shift behind me, and in a flash, he spins me and pushes me like I'm on fire, “Axel’s turn” he declares as I crash into Axel. He catches me with an “oomph” and I curse at Theo. “Are you okay?” Axel asks, still holding me to him. “Yes, thanks for catching me,” I smile up at him.“Always,” he says, his voice thick. His eyes flick between mine and my lips and I'm sure he's trying to pluck up the courage to kiss me. I decide to help him out, pushing to my tiptoes I place a chaste kiss on his jaw, lingering a little in case he wants to take this further. I can tell he wants to but I think having an audience is a bit too much for him. “Do you want to hang out together later, maybe watch a movie?” I ask him. His cheeks are flushed adorably pink as he nods. “Come on, enough celebrating. We have work to do,” Noel calls and Axel releases me. Noel has us working on shifting next. I know Mason and Luk
Fractured Chapter 34
Chapter 34Theo opens a box and frowns before reaching in and holding up a textbook with ‘Criminology’ printed on the front. “What in the realm do they want us to study now?” he rolls his eyes. I run to check the box, hope washing away all the side effects of teleporting. “Oh my god,” I gasp. Reaching into the box and pulling out my mobile phone, I clutch it to my chest. Reunited at last. “It's my belongings from uni, I had to leave it behind when I came here,” I explain. “What’s uni?” Theo asks.“University, kind of like this place but for humans,” I explain, digging through the box for my phone charger. “And there you learn to criminology?” he frowns, still studying the book in his hand. “I was studying criminology, I wanted to be a detective or crime scene officer,” I tell him taking the book from him and putting it back in the box. I’d rather go through this box without Mason’s judging gaze on me. “Our girl is smart,” Theo grins.“This is a lot of stuff,” Luke gestures to the
Fractured Chapter 35
Chapter 35Luke pulls his hand from my panties and I almost cry in protest, until he spins me around and lifts me off of my feet. My legs wrap around his waist and I bring my mouth to his, kissing him as he walks towards the dining table. The move reminds me of Deacon and my heart skips a beat. No. I can't think of him, especially not right now. Luke sits me on the edge of the table before he pulls his mouth from mine. “Lay back, I want my lunch,” he smiles seductively. I hesitate briefly glancing at the others. Theo and Axel stand slightly back, one on each side of Luke, blocking my view of Mason. Then I position myself on the table, leaning back on my elbows. “Good girl,” Luke praises. He's very confident with the others with him, he doesn't show an ounce of the nerves he had yesterday. I'm kind of proud of him. He reaches under my skirt and grabs the waistband of my panties, slowly pulling them down. As he removes them from each foot he pulls off my shoe and places my feet flat on
Fractured Chapter 36
Chapter 36“What the fuck Mason!” Luke curses. Axel pulls me from the table, wrapping his arms around me to shield me with his body. “Not cool Mace, he's not a part of our bond!” Theo admonishes. Axel guides me to his room, which is the closest escape. Once the door is closed he releases me to fetch a t-shirt from his wardrobe. He helps me into it and I wrap my arms around myself, totally ashamed of everything that just happened. Raised voices are coming from the living area and I can't take this. A single tear escapes my eye. I wipe at it quickly, I had vowed no one would see me weak or crying again and here I am weak and close to bursting into tears. “You did nothing wrong,” Axel reassures me.“I did, I let myself be vulnerable in front of Mason and he took his opportunity. I'm so stupid,” I try to keep the tremble from my voice.“I hate to defend him, but I don't think he did that to get at you, I think he knew exactly who was behind that door. He’s trying to get Deacon to admit
