Chapter 8

“Looks like you've made quite the impression,” Dot teases, snapping me out of death's trance as I break eye contact with Mason. I follow Dot's gaze to a friendly smile. Theo waves excitedly when my eyes meet his. I smile back at him before my eyes flick back to Mason’s nervously. He scowls at me before turning to say something to Theo.

“Earlier, you referred to Mason as Theo’s boyfriend. Is that true?” I ask, trying not to sound too interested.

“I've heard rumours about it,” she shrugs. “Theo is a huge flirt and definitely isn't opposed to men. Mason doesn't tolerate many people, but he has a soft spot for Theo. In fact, I don't think anyone has ever made Mason crack a smile apart from Theo,”

“Well one thing is for sure, and that's that Mason hates me already,” I huff. I've been here a few hours and I've already made an enemy… great!

“Mason hates everyone, don't take it personally,” she reassures.

“He tried to kill me,” I snort, rubbing my throat at the memory.

    Chapter 9Theo sits beside me on the couch in Mr Collins’ office. There's a tense silence as Mr Collins removes his suit jacket and rolls up his shirt sleeves. This must be a routine of his, and it's certainly one I like. In fact, I might get myself sent to his office regularly just to witness this arm porn. How can a man have such attractive arms? I seriously hope neither of the men in the room has the gift of telepathy because I think they'd kick me out of the realm if they could hear even half of the filthy scenarios my brain is playing out right now. “Are you okay?” Theo asks, snapping me back to reality. “Yes,” I respond a little too quickly.“You looked like you zoned out a bit there,” he says softly, reaching up and brushing some hair from my face and tucking it behind my ear. My guess is he's not telepathic, otherwise he'd probably not be acting so sweet to me right now. “Just a little overwhelmed,” I smile before shifting my attention back to Mr Collins, who has his back t

    Chapter 10The SparkThe Origins Of The GreysDuring the late Palaeolithic period, a group of twenty hunters embarked on a hunting trip that would alter their lives and the world as they knew it. The hunting party comprised four women and sixteen men, a ratio of 1:4. While tracking a herd of deer, a fierce storm suddenly struck, compelling the group to seek shelter in a cave. Unbeknownst to them, this was no ordinary storm, and the shelter was no ordinary cave. It was believed to house the powerful force of the four seasons and was guarded by a pack of wolf spirits. As they fled through the network of caves, the party became separated into four smaller groups, each escaping into a different tunnel. At the end of each tunnel lay a cavern of precious stones. Trapped at the dead ends by the spirits of the wolves, the groups believed their lives to be over. However, just moments before their demise at the jaws of the wolves, lightning struck, bringing down the cave around them. The first

    Chapter 11The telltale growl of a predator grows louder as it approaches from the darkness. I urge my feet to run, but they refuse. I try to force out a scream, but it won't come. The only thing I can do is breathe heavily as panic grips me. My legs begin to tremble under the weight of my fear. “Don't move,” A voice whispers from behind me. I want to respond that I couldn't move even if I wanted to, but words fail me. I hear a whoosh behind me and then a huge dog appears at my side, growling aggressively back at the predator lurking in the shadows. The dog moves to stand in front of me protectively, its thick black coat shining in the moonlight. It edges forward, snarling and snapping its jaws. Then I see it, bright blue eyes emerge from the shadows. Coming out to challenge my protector. It's at this moment that I realise these are not just big dogs, they're freaking wolves! Why are there wolves here? My mind goes back to the books I'd read. The originals were soulbound to the wolf

    Chapter 12I try to keep my breathing steady. Not wanting to alert Mason to the fact I'm awake or that I've seen him. I scrunch my eyes closed, too scared to keep looking at those eyes. Slowly I move my hand to find Theo’s, and when my fingers wrap around his I give him three hard squeezes. He groans on the first squeeze, by the third he's fully alert. “Jose, what's wrong?” he asks, sitting up.“There's someone in here,” I whisper. I feel Theo shift on the bed before the light clicks on. “Where?” he asks. I open my eyes and look into the corner where I'd seen Mason, but he's no longer there.“He was right there,” I point with a shaky finger. Theo looks puzzled and slightly dazed. As he scans the room. He checks the window and confirms it's locked, then he checks my wardrobe and bathroom but finds nothing. “Stay here, I'll be right back,” he gives me a reassuring smile and picks up my room key before leaving. A few tense moments pass before Theo lets himself back into my room. “I t

    Chapter 13“Did you bond?” Mason asks in disgust, his eyes flicking between me and Theo.“No. Why are you here?” Theo asks with a sigh and I don't miss the look of relief on Mason’s face. “Because you woke me up when you were sneaking out of my room. I came to your room and you weren't there. Then I heard you in here. What did you want and why are you here?” he asks. Theo hesitates. “Because I was checking if it was you that was watching us sleep, and I'm here to keep her safe,” “You think I was in here watching you?” Mason snorts. “Well you're the only one that has the problem with her, so yes, you were my first guess,” Theo shrugs.“I have better things to do than watch you in bed with her,” Mason snarls before storming off. Theo closes the door with a sigh and I can see how much he wants to go after Mason, how torn he is between staying here with me or going after Mason. “Go, he needs you,” I tell him softly.“No, I need to stay here and keep you safe,” he insists.“Unless the

    Chapter 14I approach the door with trepidation. Has Mr Collins come to personally reprimand me for the message? Has Mason got away from Theo and has come to finish me once and for all? With my breath held I press my ear to the door in hopes I'll pick up a clue as to who it is. “Girl, open this damn door. I know you're up, Theo text me,” Dot’s voice shouts with another bang against the door, making me almost jump out of my skin. I pull the door open, “You scared the shit out of me,” “Sorry,” Dot smiles innocently. “Are you coming for breakfast with us?” “Sure, let me grab my stuff,” I rush to retrieve my bag and grab a jacket from my wardrobe, shoving my phone into the pocket. “Let's go,” I grin, joining Dot, Joe and Max in the hall.We sit at the same table we had for dinner and I choose a bowl of fruit and a croissant for my breakfast. I cast a glance over at the unbonded table. It's mostly empty and there's no sign of Mason or Theo. A guy with short brown hair and glasses gives

    Chapter 15“Stop,” Theo shouts, grabbing my hand when it's just millimetres away from touching Mason.“Just let her, I don't believe any of it anyway. Nothing is going to happen,” Mason protests. “No, Mr Collins said she shouldn't touch any unbonded males until the seer has been,” Theo tells him. “When have I ever given a fuck about what Deacon says,” Mason snorts like the arrogant jerk he is. “Is this a bad time?” a polite voice interrupts and I look up to see Starbucks guy standing at our table. “Yes,” Theo and Mason say in unison. “No,” I smile at him, grateful for the distraction. He leans down and places a large Starbucks cup on the table and slides it over to me. “You looked like you needed this,” he smiles and my eyes fill with tears. “Thank you, you don't know just how much I need this,” I greedily grab the warm cup in both hands and bring it to my mouth, letting out a satisfied moan as the sweet hot liquid hits my tongue. “Damn babe, what's in that cup?” Theo laughs.

    Chapter 16“Ouch, sorry,” I grimace.“Are you okay?” Luke asks, his hands on my shoulders to steady me. “Did you do that on purpose?” Theo demands, pulling me behind him and squaring up to Luke. “No, man. Chill out,” Luke holds his hands up in surrender. “Theo, it was my fault. I was trying to get my coffee, I didn't know he was behind me,” I tug on his hand to try and get his attention and diffuse the situation, but he pulls his hand from my grip.“Well if you wanted to know if you're one of her bonds I guess you have your answer now,” Theo huffs. “I guess I do,” Luke says and it's hard to read the emotion in his voice. I'm not sure if it's disappointment or anger at Theo. The guys seem to be having some kind of stare-off. I decide to leave them to it and retrieve my coffee. I move around the pair and reach for my coffee when a hand shoots out and grabs my wrist before yanking me towards him. It's one of the men I’d seen at the unbonded table. I barely have time to process what

Everyone will be here because they love us and our baby and they're excited to find out the gender. I don’t think they care if the table layout is up to standard,” Luke says.“You're right,” I nod. “I just feel this pressure to make it perfect, I need to prove to your families I'm capable of doing this, I want to prove I'm worthy of being in this bond group and that I'll be a good mother to their grandchildren,” I admit. “They already know that, and more importantly, we know that. You have nothing to prove, Babe. This is supposed to be a fun day for us all to be together with everyone we care about, so relax and enjoy it,” Theo pulls me to him and Luke steps up to my

    Chapter 167** Josie’s POV **Once both my men are gloriously naked I watch them for a while as they explore each other's mouths. It’s clear Mason is letting Theo take the lead here, which confirms what I thought Mason needed from us. “Take charge of him, Theo, he needs it,” I say into the mind link. Theo breaks the kiss and looks over at me with a subtle nod.“Our girl is looking lonely on that bed, don't you think?” he asks. Mason turns his head and his eyes land on me before he nods.“Get on the bed and crawl to her, Mace,” Theo whispers.Mason steps up to the bottom of the bed and casts a glance at Theo behind him before getting on the bed and crawling up to kneel between my legs. I sit up to meet him and pull his head towards mine kissing him briefly before I lie back. Theo comes to kneel on the bed beside us and his hand moves straight to my sex. “Look how wet she is for you,” Theo hums, spreading me for Mason to see just how much I want him, before plunging two fingers insi

    Chapter 166** Josie’s POV **It had taken almost a week to fully recover from the psychic attack from Cornelius. I had spent most of that time in bed with Mason. We watched movies and slept a lot for the first few days. On day three Mason felt back to normal, but due to my pregnancy and that I had depleted my energy to fuel the rest of my bonds I'd needed longer. The rest of my bonds have been navigating the aftermath and keeping me and Mason informed. We recently learned that Cornelius was confirmed as spark bonded, which adds another layer of betrayal to his entire scheme. When Cornelius died, one of the females captured by Raff’s team became distraught, screaming in anguish over her loss. Three other males tried to console her in the holding cell, revealing their identities in the process. I chose not to find out what happened to them afterwards. I can’t imagine the depth of her pain in losing one of her bonds, even if he had committed terrible acts. The thought of her dealing wit

    Chapter 165** Theo’s POV **I move to intercept a wolf running towards Josie. I step in its path just in time for the little shit to launch up and latch painfully onto my arm, dragging me down with it. The wolf suddenly disappears from on top of me, seconds before it was about to chomp down on my face. I sit up and look around in confusion. Josie lets out a pained cry from behind me and I jump to my feet, turning just in time to see her drop to her knees. I rush forward with a burst of energy, catching her before she falls forward and she goes limp in my arms. I look at Mason in a panic, which only increases when I see he is on the floor, twitching and groaning. Luke is nowhere to be seen.“What the fuck is going on? I need help here!” I scream into the mind link. I lay Josie down next to Mason, ready to protect them both when Luke appears.“I’ll get them out of here. Go help Deacon and Axel,” Luke says before leaning down and touching Josie and Mason before porting out with them.

    Chapter 164** Josie’s POV **Cornelius stands in the centre, dressed in black and wearing a bulletproof vest. He looks as arrogant as hell whilst he laps up the attention of his worshipers. People cheer and clap, drowning out the booing from outside the park fence. I look around at all the people, there are a full range from babies to elderly and I hate that they have no idea who this guy is and that they are just unwitting pawns in a game they never chose. We have to free them, we are their last line of defence. We swore we would save this realm and we are about to prove it, no matter the cost.I spot Mason and Theo moving into position and I glance over to where I know Axel and Luke should be. Once we see them we begin to move too, weaving our way through the crowd. I recognise a few of the faces along the way and feel a little more at ease when I see them shadowing the more vulnerable members of the audience, ready to protect them. When I am happy with my position I stop, letting m

    Chapter 163** Josie’s POV **Deacon and I port into an empty apartment in a building that overlooks the park, whilst Luke, Axe, Mason and Theo port to a disused train line in the underground station across the street. Some of Raff’s team are already here and some have even managed to compel themselves onto the security team. We know Cornelius will have informed his team to be on the lookout for bonded groups so it’s important that as a female I am only seen with one male, otherwise we may draw suspicion. This theory is confirmed when a single female with a group of three males is stopped at the gate and pulled to one side. We can't see what is done to them from here as they are led into a large white tent. I hold my breath as we wait, only releasing it when they exit the tent unharmed.“Probably using compulsion to question them. If we get pulled in, remember to draw on Axel’s blocking gift and make your gaze look vacant. Imagine you are in a daydream and answer their questions quic

    Chapter 161** Josie’s POV **By the time we port into the human realm, I have already been made to make what feels like a thousand promises to get out if I'm in danger. The guys are on edge, which is almost crippling me through the bond. Mason is pacing my small childhood living room as we wait for Freya to arrive and I fear the cheap carpet is not going to survive much longer. I sit down on the couch with a sigh as Luke makes me some tea. Deacon, Theo and Axel have gone on a little scouting mission, checking security near the park where the meet-and-greet is. The location had been released less than an hour ago and people are already gathering in the area. Theo told me people are holding up makeshift signs calling for us to save them, which gives me hope that we will face little resistance from the humans. A sudden flutter in my abdomen has my breath catching in my throat and Mason is kneeling in front of me in a flash.“What’s wrong?” he asks, gripping my knees. The mind link be

    Chapter 160** Luke’s POV **We arrive back at the training ground with a few minutes to spare. Josie sits on a dusty old tyre whilst eating a banana that Theo’s mum insists will help with the swelling in her feet and ankles. We also all agreed that will will take her to the infirmary for a check-up once we are done here. Not just because of the swelling but to give us all a little peace of mind that she is fit to come with us tomorrow. My family was overjoyed when I told them about the Little Bean. My mum had even cried with joy and told me how proud she was, which I find an odd thing to be proud of. I didn't actually do anything. “Does anyone think it’s odd that my mum is proud of me for Josie being pregnant?” I ask the others, unable to get the thought from my head. “I think she probably means she is proud you are growing up maybe?” Josie shrugs. “But I'm not, I'm no different than I would be if you weren't pregnant,” I shrug. “And even if it was me that biologically fathered t

    Chapter 160** Axel’s POV **My biological father seems to be making a little more effort with me than usual, although it’s still minimal. My mother and two other fathers are still as disinterested as ever. They're all only here to be a part of something. They don’t care about saving the human realm, they just want to be able to say they were there. They think it will bring them some respect. I could put them out of their misery and tell them I am a part of the Spark bond, that their son they thought was such a disappointment for having strength-based gifts is who they are now here to see, who they are excited to meet, but it feels like a little revenge to have them sitting at the table with the Spark bonded group and have no idea for a while. I hope they feel stupid when they realise. “I heard a rumour that your headmaster is a part of the Spark bonded group, is that true?” my mum asks, her eyes searching out Deacon in the crowd.“Yes, he is,” I nod. “He’s a fine man, his bond is
