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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Chapter 81** Mason’s POV **I wish I could tell them how much I want them, both of them. I wish I could be more like they are, more open, but I learnt the hard way that admitting any kind of feelings or showing affection is just giving someone an opportunity to hurt you. Every time I even think about touching Theo, my father is in my head ready to punish me with his knives or lash me with his whip. The worst mistake of my life had been to ask him that stupid question when I was a child. I’d paid for that every day since. Those simple words had made me who I am today. A monster.Josie pleads for more as Theo teases her with his tongue. She is beautiful like this, flushed with need. There’s a wildness about her that calls to me. The bottle of lube sits on the dresser behind me. I pick it up and look at Theo. He’s so alluring to me, he has been since the moment I laid eyes on him.“Boys don’t love boys Mason!” Whip. My father’s words scream in my head and I flinch. The bite of that whip
Chapter 141** Josie’s POV **Luke and Axe make quick work of tying us together, despite the tremble I notice in both of their hands. It’s obvious neither of them wants to do this. They're fighting their every instinct to protect me but I haven't left them much choice. We either do this together or I’ll attempt it alone. I won't sit back and wait whilst I can feel my bonds life leaving his body. I place a hand over my small bump. ‘Hold on Little Bean,’ I think to my unborn child. I guess this might be my first failure as a mother. “Ready?” Luke asks, he looks as though he's about to vomit. “Yes, let's go,” I nod. I take Luke’s hand in my own and squeeze it.“Remember, what you see in there isn't real. Don’t react to it,” Luke reminds us and Axel and I both nod. Luke takes a breath and closes his eyes, “On five,” he breathes and begins counting. I take one last look at Axel and Luke and then close my eyes. “Mason, Theo, I love you. Please don’t be angry,” I say into the mind link ju
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? We
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
