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
Fractured Chapter 77
Chapter 77** Deacon, AKA, Mr Collins POV **I never wanted her in the house, not yet. Not until she was truly mine and she was ready to move in but what else could I do? She was cold and tired, and we had at least another 40 minutes before I could return them all to the academy. There was no way I could leave her outside for that long. When the security team had finally arrived and taken the two would-be kidnappers off of our hands we had come inside to find everyone sleeping. I was going to wake them but Axel and Mason had informed me that they'd not seen her sleep that well since she had woken from the coma. I couldn't wake her after I heard that, and I told them to get some rest and I'd return them to the academy in the morning. It’s as if her body knows this is her home, this is where she belongs, or maybe it's because I’m so close. I know she's been scent hoarding, collecting her bonds clothing and making a bed with it. She’d had my jacket in it, her wolf knowing I was hers, eve
Fractured Chapter 78
Chapter 78**Josie’s POV**My bare feet pad silently down the hall, I open the first door I come across on my way to the kitchen and sigh in relief when I see it's a bathroom. I use the toilet before splashing water on my face. The heat from the fire has me feeling flushed. Cupping my hand under the running water I bring it to my mouth and drink it, the cool water soothes my dry throat but it's not enough. Leaving the bathroom I move to the kitchen, I open three cupboards before I find a glass and I quickly fill it with water. Two glasses of water later I still feel too hot and my head feels fuzzy from dehydration. I step outside to get some fresh air but my attention is quickly drawn to the figure in the pool. Mr Collins’ back moves as he sucks in deep audible breaths. “Are you okay, Sir?” I ask. He stills at my words but doesn't turn to look at me straight away. I'm about to ask again when he finally turns and holy hell does he look hot. His hair hangs in short wet strands around h
Fractured Chapter 79
Chapter 79Clean, clean and clean, should be renamed awkward, embarrassing and uncomfortable, when you're in your headmaster's house with your ex and his girlfriend that you just kidnapped from the human realm. I'd been wrapped in a blanket and bundled upstairs to a bedroom that had an en-suite bathroom. Theo had helped me shower and then Axel had helped me to dress in a hoody and some shorts that he'd borrowed from Mr Collins. I’m glad the shorts had a drawstring otherwise they'd fall off every time I stood up. I really hope the clothes are not Mr Collins’ favourites because I have zero intention of returning them to him. If he's going to reject our bond then he can at least let me have his scent. Axel has his shirt fully unbuttoned, giving me full access to his skin as he lifts me. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck so I'm hugging him as he carries me back downstairs. Theo walks behind us and I reach my hand out to him, wanting his contact too.“We are going
Fractured Chapter 80
Chapter 80I grip the pressure point on my wrist, the nausea passing quickly. “Bed or couch?” Luke asks.“Couch,” He lowers me gently to the couch and kisses me before declaring he's going to shower and then make me coffee, I pull him back down for another kiss to express my gratitude. He knows just what I need. I’m going to shower and change. Are you good for now?” Axel asks, I nod at him. I love how attentive they all are. I know it's my heat that is driving them to be this way right now, but even without my heat, they are always caring for me, always making sure I'm okay and my needs are met. My eyes fill with tears again, I'm just so full of love for them. “What a night,” Theo exhales as he flops down on the opposite corner of the couch. He looks exhausted but also still a little buzzed. Mason seems on high alert as he resets the alarm and checks all the rooms and windows. “All good?” I ask when he finally slows down.“Seems so,” he nods and sits next to Theo. Theo leans into
