Chapter 10 The Spark The Origins Of The Greys During 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
Chapter 11 The 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.
Chapter 12 I 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 groa
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. Th
Chapter 14 I 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 d
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
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
“We already touched, nothing happened,” Luke shrugs. “What?” Mr Collins booms. Yep, a heart attack is imminent for the handsome headmaster. “Calm down D, it was my fault. I walked into him,” I explain quickly before he suspends Luke too. Theo snorts a laugh and I realise my mistake. Mr Collins’ j
Chapter 239 ** Josie’s POV **“If you don’t want to help, then just leave,” I snap at Mason when I see the sour look on his face. “What makes you think I don’t want to help?” He snaps back.“Oh I don’t know, maybe it's the face of thunder, or the annoyance pouring from you,” I say sarcastically.“
Chapter 238** Axel’s POV **Convincing Josie to get in the shower hadn’t been nearly as difficult as I expected. I think she needed the break away from everyone to gather her own thoughts.I wish I could port her home, so she can shower in a place she feels more comfortable in, but we have to work
Chapter 237** Deacon’s POV **Harper is like a different kid from the one we lost a few weeks ago. She is so mature and just like her mother. The way she has taken the lead with her peers and is commanding the room has me envisioning her running the academy in the future.I’d brought Luke’s parents
Chapter 236**Josie’s POV **I don’t have the time or patience to sugarcoat what has happened. These kids are not delicate flowers that need coddling. They have lived through hell and are still fighting so they can handle my abruptness. Harper comes to stand beside me once she is over her initial s
Chapter 235** Deacon’s POV **The minutes tick by at a snail's pace as every inch of the underground network is uncovered. Only the section my bond group had been in had collapsed, or more likely, had been purposely destroyed. We only find one more teen, who was not buried but had been trapped in
Chapter 234** Josie’s POV **“Luke?” I ask again, even though I know he won’t hear me. Maybe he is just knocked out and unable to respond, but then why can’t I feel him at all? Usually, I can sense all of my bonds, even when they’re sleeping. I don’t even want to think of what else could have him
Chapter 233** Josie’s POV **I can’t think of my daughter living in this place for weeks, and the thought of other kids living here even longer is breaking my heart. Children need warmth and a clean living space. They need a safe place to sleep that is not a thin mat on a filthy floor underground.
Chapter 232** Mason’s POV **The moment I’ve been longing for for weeks has finally come, and I can barely speak. I can’t tell my daughter everything I have been wanting to tell her. The words just won't come out. So, instead, I go into management mode. We don’t have the luxury of riding off into t
Chapter 231** Josie’s POV **Luke wakes us up in the best way possible. He’s found Harper, and she’ll be coming home soon. I can already feel the excitement bubbling inside me as I pace the kitchen, imagining the moment when I can finally wrap my arms around her. The thought that she is safe fills
