Fractured Chapter 69
Chapter 69“Actually. Let's move this to my office, I'd rather not have this conversation in a filing cupboard,” Mr Collins’ voice rumbles and I avoid looking at him as Luke guides me out of the room with an arm around my shoulders. We get to the office door and Luke wraps his arms tighter around me for a brief moment, kissing the top of my head, before releasing me to my fate. I step into the room and the door clicks shut behind me. The air suddenly becomes thick with tension. I keep my eyes fixed on the floor, and I can feel the embarrassment blazing on my cheeks. Mr. Collins steps closer, his presence radiating a warmth that sends shivers down my spine. He gently lifts my chin, forcing me to meet his piercing gaze. My heart races wildly as I lock onto his intense stare and I struggle to swallow around the lump of emotions stuck in my throat. “There is nothing wrong with you,” he whispers, and my pulse quickens. My mind spins in confusion as I search his eyes. “I feel it too,” he a
Fractured Chapter 70
Chapter 70“We managed to get pizza, some pie, and a selection of fruit. That's all they had left,” Theo announces, jolting me back to the present. I blink, shaking off the remnants of sleep, and sit up slowly, orienting myself. The firm cushions of the couch in Mr. Collins’ office shift under my weight as I take in my surroundings. Mason is lounging on the opposite couch, his eyes glinting with amusement. Mr. Collins is at his desk, frowning intently at the screen of his laptop, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, lost in whatever task he's doing.Theo, Luke, and Axel, each carry a tray piled high with food, the smell hits my nose and my stomach rumbles in response as they place the trays down on the coffee table. My hand instinctively runs down the length of my thighs, reassuring me that I’m still in my leggings. Had I really just dozed off on the couch? The memories of my vivid dream flood back sending a thrill through me. My gaze flickers to Mason, who is watching me with a smir
Fractured Chapter 71
Chapter 71“Set it up,” Mr Collins agrees. “It’s my mum's birthday next weekend, she is having a party, we can get in easily then,” Mason sighs. “Perfect, we will be discrete so as not to draw attention or ruin her birthday,” Mr Collins assures. Mason shrugs like he doesn't care either way, I sense he probably holds some contempt towards his mother, she didn't save him. I want to go to him and comfort him but I know he'd not like that, not in front of everyone anyway. “Can I access the human internet now? There's some things I want to check about the disappearances,” I ask looking at Mr Collins and trying to shift the attention from Mason. “Eat more first, you've barely eaten,” he nods towards the food left on the tray. I grab another slice of pizza, rolling my eyes as I bite into it and walk around his side of the desk to use his laptop. He opens up a new internet search page and slides the laptop towards me. Shoving the last bite of pizza into my mouth I quickly log into my socia
Fractured Chapter 72
Chapter 72Mason steps closer to me, getting into my personal space. “Who is that?” he asks again in a low threatening tone. I clearly have issues because I am so turned on by him right now.“That was Conor,” I smirk, taunting him.“Mace,” Theo tries to reason.“Don’t fucking pretend that it didn't bother you to see some other guy's hands on her like that, Theo, but that's not the biggest issue here,” he snaps and I almost laugh considering the number of men I have touching me daily. If only he knew where else Conor's hands had been off of the camera. I'm tempted to tell him and then let him lose on Conor’s cheating ass, but I guess letting him get murdered would be a little extreme. “Then what's the issue? You do realise that was almost a year ago and it was just a dance, right?” I raise a brow at him. “And you do realise that he's a fucking Grey, right?” he snarls.“What? How?” I gasp in utter shock. There's no way. “He's right, I saw it too,” Luke sighs. “Watch,” he winds the vid
Fractured Chapter 73
Chapter 73Luke holds me tight against him whilst the nausea grips me. I focus on my breathing, waiting for it to pass.“You can't be here. Leave now, or I’m calling the police,” a startled female voice chastises.“We are supposed to be here, we are your friends, we came to help you,” Mr Collins’ smooth voice floats into my ears, his words laced with compulsion. “Don't tell anyone though or you will lose your job, we will go soon but we will return later and you'll let us back in,” “Of course, I’ll wait for your return,” the female responds, her tone now relaxed. I take another deep breath and then blink my eyes open when I smell the familiar scent of books. Axel grips a bookshelf, fighting to stay on his feet and Mason supports a pale-looking Theo. The female library attendendent smiles at us with familiarity. She looks to be in her late forties and holds a stack of books. “Are we ready?” Mr Collins asks. Axel shakes his head and I stumble out of Luke’s arms and go to Axel, rubbin
Fractured Chapter 74
Chapter 74I search my memory for the perfect song that will help me stand out in a sea of dancing people. It needs to be something that most clubgoers won't easily know how to move to, leaving them swaying or slow grinding, maybe even taking a break to rest or grab another drink. Allowing me space for my floor work and to become more visible to Coner. There’s a particular song and dance that is guaranteed to get his attention. Yet, I feel a wave of reluctance wash over me because it's a contemporary piece of choreography that I swore I wouldn’t ever do again. That piece was born from a collaboration with Coner, a time filled with creativity, hope, laughter and lust, but it was shattered when I discovered his betrayal just a day before our performance. All those feelings from that moment, the heartbreak, seem insignificant now in the grander scheme of things. What truly matters is the company I have with me now, these incredible men who stand by my side. So with that thought in mind,
Fractured Chapter 75
Chapter 75The music cuts out and the room is filled with worried chatter as the clubgoers try to figure out what is happening. Lights start to shine too brightly as people take out their phones and turn on the flashlights. “Josie,” Coner shouts in warning and I turn back to see him struggling to escape the hold of two men who each grip one of his arms.“Let him go,” I sneer. I didn't come this far to lose him now. “Go away little girl, you have no idea who we are,” one of the men snorts and looks me over as if I'm nothing more than an ant he could easily step on. I realise then that they have absolutely no idea who I am. These two are nothing more than muscle, sent to retrieve Coner. A grin spreads across my face. “On second thoughts, she looks fun, we could do with a little fun. Should we take her too?” the second man says and I sense my bonds closing in behind me. “Sure, let's go have some fun,” I smile, “You don't mind if I bring my bonds along do you?” I raise a brow at them.
Fractured Chapter 76
Chapter 76I crouch down, taking Coner’s wrist and applying pressure to the place the librarian had shown us and seconds later Coner recovers.“Keep holding there for a minute,” I tell him and his fingers replace mine on his wrist as I move to repeat the action on Molly. She yanks her hand from me with a scowl and I shrug, “Suit yourself, I was only trying to help you feel better,” Coner turns to her and shows her what to do and she soon sits up, looking much better. Her eyes scan our surroundings and then land on me.“What the hell just happened?” she asks. “We teleported, it sucks,” Theo says, drawing her attention to him. She studies him suspiciously before she bursts into laughter. “It's hard to believe, I know. I had the same reaction,” I smile down at her. “You know what we are don't you?” Coner asks.“Yes, do you know what you are?” I frown.“Not really. We know we are different. In the last year we've both been able to do things we shouldn't,” he admits. I turn to glance ov
