**Chapter 82** **Josie’s POV** It takes a lot of willpower to leave my bedroom. I really want to be with them, to share in this special moment I know is about to unfold, but I also realise this is their time, it's something they’ve both been wanting for ages, and they truly deserve it. My heart could burst with happiness for them! “Just in time for coffee,” Luke greets me with a bright smile, setting down steaming cups on the coffee table. I grab my discarded hoody from the floor and pull it over my head. “No need to cover up for me,” he laughs. “It’s just a bit chilly in here,” I say, rubbing my arms. Luke sits on the couch and pulls me down to sit sideways on his lap, then grabs one of the blankets from the back of the couch and covers my legs with it. “Let’s get you warmed up, then,” he grins. Axel joins us, carrying his own cup of coffee and sitting beside us on the couch. Both of them are shirtless and I worry they'll get cold. “You can put your tops on if you're cold,
Chapter 83** Theo’s POV **I’m not ashamed to say I cried after Mason finally gave in to what we both wanted. I had sobbed like a small child and he hadn’t pushed me away, he had pulled me into his arms and held me. He had uttered words of apology and at first, I thought he was scared he'd done something wrong until he had opened up and told me more than he'd ever told me before.“I’m so sorry Theo, for every time I've rejected you, for every time I've made you feel unworthy and told you that this is wrong and unnatural. It was never you, I was the one unworthy, and I still am,” he admitted. He had never looked so vulnerable as his sad eyes spoke a thousand words.“No, Mace, you are not,”“I was weak, I let myself be destroyed, I let him turn me into this, this monster,” his face hardened, his walls building back up.“Mace, you are the strongest person I know. You have never been weak, ever,” I placed my hand on his chest, right over his heart that now beats in time with my own thanks
Chapter 84** Coner’s POV **I don't know what's worse, the nausea or the pain in my knees from dropping on the floor. My knees are important. I can't be a dancer if my knees are damaged! Although I'm not sure they would have a need for a dancer in this new world I've found myself in. I grip the spot on my wrist that Josie had shown me and wait for the churning in my stomach to stop. I keep thinking this is all a wild dream and I’ll wake up soon, but is it possible to sleep in a dream? Because I went to sleep and when I woke up I was still here. I can't believe Josie is here too. I thought I'd never see her again. In fact, they were the last words she had spoken to me. “If I ever see you again, it will be too soon,” she had spat. I replay what I'd done to her often. How I had hurt her. She never deserved that. I guess this is my punishment for that. Karma always finds a way. I still don't know why I did what I did. I loved her, I was sure I did, but then I met Molly. Sure Molly was pr
Chapter 85** Deacon Collins POV **Gripping Molly’s upper arm I march her back to my office. She has tried to run away from me twice already, although I've no idea where she thinks she's going to go. She curses me out the whole way but I can't risk leaving her in the academy without getting her compulsion ability under control. When I'd felt her words trying to probe at my mind I had been in shock. She has great potential to be very powerful in the compulsion field. I need to isolate her while she has intense training in this fieild. I'd be the best one to train her on this, there's no one more powerful in compulsion than me in this realm, and if it was anyone else I'd probably take her to stay at my house and train her there, but her history with Josie complicates things. My bond is my priority, she comes above all else, even the academy and my students and I know it would hurt her to know I had Molly at my home, at her future home. Plus I have enough on my plate at the moment witho
Chapter 86** Josie’s POV **Feeling refreshed from my bath I walk out of my bedroom in my clean robe and a delicious scent hits my nose. I know that smell, but it can't be…“Oh my goodness!” I exclaim when my eyes land on the red buckets on the table, I could actually cry right now at the beautiful sight of KFC. Me and my mum would go there on the last Friday of every month before she became unwell, she called it Fat Friday. We spend the afternoon eating and watching Transformers. All the guys enjoy the food and the movie and I feel complete contentment as I fall into a late afternoon nap on the couch surrounded by my bonds. I wake up to a buzzing that vibrates against my head and the leg I was apparently using as a pillow shifts beneath me. I sit up slightly, allowing Mason to retrieve his phone. I have no idea how I ended up with my head on him, I was leaning against Theo when I'd dozed off. “Yes,” Mason answers in a gruff voice. “We were napping,” he yawns. “Give me a minute,” h
Chapter 87** Josie’s POV **When I retrieve my phone from my bedroom I'm not surprised to see messages from Dot and Sunny. Dot: New human realm Greys are here. Do you know them?Dot: Bitch, where the hell are you? Drama with the new girl. She tried to compel Mr C in front of the whole dining hall!! He was so passed! Dragged her out of there with steam coming out of his ears I swear!Dot: Okay I just spoke to the new guy, he says he knows you and you're in heat. I need all the deets on these newcomers. Do we like them? Me: Yeah sorry, heat came at the perfect time… NOT! It’s complicated with those two. I'll give you the full story when I see you but we like Coner, Molly is a bitch!I respond to Dot before checking Sunny’s message.Sunny: Hey, so I think Coner is my bond. Of course, I won't act on anything until the seer has been to confirm it but I wanted to tell you anyway. Coner explained some of your history together so I thought we should talk. This whole thing is messed up but
Chapter 88** Mason’s POV **Josie moans down the phone and my cock hardens instantly. Theo ends the call and I have to clench my fists and focus on my breathing. My every instinct is urging me to go to her. My palms begin to sweat and I rub them on my pants as we drive away from the academy.“Welcome to my world,” Deacon snorts, he must have been watching my reaction.“I’m fine,” I snap.“Sure you are, no big deal, right? It's so easy to ignore the call of your bond. Your wolf isn't threatening to take control and run to his mate,” he grins sarcastically. “Exactly,” I nod.“Do you want to go back?” he raises a brow. Yes! Every fibre of my being is screaming at me to say yes. To demand that the driver stop this car and allow me to shift and run back to her.“No,” I grunt, barely able to force the word out. “Let's get this over with quickly and get you back to her,” he gives me a knowing smile.“She is worried about you you know? She said I should come with you because she thinks you
Chapter 89** Josie’s POV **Axel satisfies my heat, followed by Theo and then Luke. By the time the wave passes, I am utterly exhausted and Axel has to carry me to the shower. My body wants to sleep, every muscle hurts, even muscles I didn't know I had. I notice the guys exchanging worried glances and if I had any energy left I’d ask them what's wrong, but I think I fall asleep before we even make it to the bed. I startle awake with a jolt, sickness twists in my gut, and my wolf urges me to give her control.“Something is wrong,” I sit up telling the guys who are in the bed with me but are still awake. “Shh, everything is fine, you need to rest, you've barely slept,” Luke soothes but I shake my head. My heart pounds in my chest and my wolf insists there is something very wrong. “No, something has happened,” my voice trembles and my eyes fill with tears, I scramble out of bed and find my phone, hitting call on Mason’s contact, “pick up, pick up, pick up,” I plead, but it rings out. I
