Chapter 27 I follow Luke into the first room and my jaw drops. It’s huge! And that bed is almost the size of my entire room at home. It must have bedding specially made for it because that’s no standard size. “Well this one is obviously yours,” Luke laughs at my expression. “What? I can't sleep
Chapter 28 “Leave,” Deacon growls, the sound is more animal than human and it sends a thrill through me. “Yes, Sir,” I smile, leaning down to pick up the card I’d dropped. I straighten my clothes and leave the room to find the others. He's clearly having some internal struggle and I'm not going t
Chapter 29 Power surges through my hand and a flash of blue light blinds me. I stumble back. Alarms are blurring and everything is dark. “Don’t touch her!” I hear James warn someone. “I’ve got her,” Theo’s voice soothes as his arms wrap around me. “It’s okay Jose, you're safe,” Alarms continue
Chapter 30 “Bullshit!” Luke exclaims. “You're lying,” Theo accuses. “You were all there, the seer did not identify me as one,” Deacon shrugs as if it's no big deal. “That was because the commotion broke her trance before she was done,” Luke protests. “I spoke with her afterwards and she said s
Chapter 31 Luke’s coffee is almost as good as the Starbucks one. I’m impressed by his barista machine and skills. Axel also enjoys it and declares he’ll only be drinking the ‘human stuff’ from now on. Luke tells us how he sneaks to the human realm often to get supplies and I insist he takes me wit
Chapter 32Once the dining hall has cleared out there's a tense silence as we all wait for Mason to explain.“Well?” Mr Collins demands. I can only see his feet from my position behind the wall of muscle. The dagger clatters to the floor in between Mason and Mr Collins’ feet. “Someone threw that at
Chapter 33Theo follows my gaze and I feel his arms tighten around me a little. Then his eyes shift behind me, and in a flash, he spins me and pushes me like I'm on fire, “Axel’s turn” he declares as I crash into Axel. He catches me with an “oomph” and I curse at Theo. “Are you okay?” Axel asks, st
Chapter 34Theo opens a box and frowns before reaching in and holding up a textbook with ‘Criminology’ printed on the front. “What in the realm do they want us to study now?” he rolls his eyes. I run to check the box, hope washing away all the side effects of teleporting. “Oh my god,” I gasp. Reach
Chapter 251** Josie’s POV **“This is breaking my heart. There are more kids here just like Bella. We have to help them. They need families now, today. They’ve already been through enough in their short lives without being left in a military base infirmary,” I say into the mind link to my bonds.“I
Chapter 250** Josie’s POV **As soon as all the kids are in school, Deacon, Axel, me and Mason head to meet with Raff. He updates us on what they discovered from the latest batch of rogues we had brought in. Only two of the adults survived our ambush; Unfortunately, Mandy is one of them, but at lea
“Such a pretty mouth,” Mason hums, “I can’t wait to have your lips wrapped around my cock again, but not today,” he smiles before gently pushing me back against Theo, who wraps an arm around my chest before leaning back to give Mason the angle he needs.Someone hands Mason the bottle of lube, and he
Chapter 249** Josie’s POV **I feel each of my bond’s desires spike in response to my need as Theo carries me into the bedroom.I can play along with being in heat. If I’m being honest with myself, there are elements of being in heat that I miss too. I love how eager my bonds are to please me, and
Chapter 248** Theo’s POV **We are all a little on edge over breakfast. No matter how my bond group tries to mask it, I can feel the sliver of anxiety, and a rising hint of uncertainty. I just don’t know what it is for. Are we just so used to having something to worry about that it’s going to take
Chapter 247** Josie’s POV **The urge to stay with Luke is so strong. After almost losing him, I don’t want to let him out of my sight. I know he and Mason need to talk though, and they deserve some privacy for that conversation. Otherwise, I’d be in there, with all the kids too.I can feel how dra
Chapter 246** Luke’s POV **I thought I was more recovered than I am, but the short walk to the bathroom from where we had ported in the bedroom had felt like a brisk hike up a tall mountain through thin air. I don’t think anyone realised how close I was to letting go and letting my body fall into
Chapter 245** Josie’s POV **I push open the door, my eyes going straight to where Luke lies. The tubes helping him breathe are gone, replaced by an oxygen mask. His parents are huddled around one side of his bed, his mum being comforted by her bonds as she sniffles quietly. I move to the other si
Chapter 244** Josie’s POV **Art rushes into the room and quickly assesses Luke.“I think he’s waking up,” Art says, and I almost sag in relief. They’ve done it. My guys have worked together to give Luke the strength and time he needed for the antidote to work.“I’m going to run a few quick tests,
