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
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
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
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
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
Chapter 37“No, fuck you, because one day soon, I will,” he growls. “And make no mistake little whore, you will be begging me for it,” I’m equally furious and turned on. Fully aware that I'm still not wearing any underwear under my skirt.“Mason, please” I whimper, not entirely sure what I'm asking him for. He pushes a foot between mine, forcing me to spread my legs a little. He flips my skirt up so I'm fully exposed and then runs a finger through my wet folds.“Such a greedy little pussy,” he hums before slapping me there. I cry out, almost orgasming immediately. He rubs me then as if to soothe the slap but his fingers on my clit have me moaning under his hand. Then he slaps it again.“Please,” I cry out. I need more.“Tell them what a greedy pussy you have,” he demands.“What?” I try to move and look around but he increases the pressure on my neck, keeping me pinned so all I can see is the kitchen wall. “Your bonds are all watching you. They're all wondering if they should stop me
Chapter 38“I'm fine, I thought I'd connected with my wolf for a second but I didn't. Sorry for the false alarm,” I lie. Mason’s eyes narrow at me in suspicion. Now is not the time to reveal what I heard. No, I’ll save this information for when I need it. Although I'm dying to ask how he thinks he will break me. Maybe he has a giant steel cock hiding behind those trousers, my eyes travel to his crotch without permission and Mason doesn't miss it. “What are you playing at little whore?” he growls. “Nothing, sorry I was just testing if I had developed the ability to make things disappear, your trousers seemed like a good place to start,” I shrug. “Well conduct your little experiments on someone else,” he huffs and moves over to lean on a tree.“I volunteer as tribute,” Theo grins holding up a hand. “Later,” I wink at him.“Hell yes,” Theo whoops.“Sorry I'm late,” Noel announces as he suddenly appears from nowhere, making my heart skip a beat.“You guys need some kind of teleportati
Chapter 39Deacon’s eyes go wide before he just vanishes. Shit, shit, shit. This can't be happening right now. I feel as though something is trying to break through my skin. I try to fight the feeling, rubbing desperately at my arms.“Get her out!” Noel shouts, his tone is urgent. Which doesn't help my rising panic. My skin is on fire, and I fight off the hands that are trying to touch my seared skin. I scream and thrash in the water. “Stop fighting it!” someone roars, but how can I? I can't just stand here whilst I boil from the inside out. Despite my protest, I'm dragged onto the river bank and without the ice-cold water surrounding me, the heat intensifies. I attempt to run back to the water but I'm tacked to the ground.“It burns,” I scream and thrash under the weight of the body on top of me. A hand grips my chin hard, holding my head still and Mason’s furious eyes look down at me.“Shift,” he demands. “Stop fighting her and fucking shift,” “I can't,” I shout through gritted tee
