Chapter 48 My gaze locks onto Luke’s, challenging him and Axel’s arms tighten around me. I channel my anger, ready to force Axel’s arms from me, he might be strong but his strength can’t match the anger I have. The tension in the room seems to crackle with unshed power. “Woah, let's all calm down.
Chapter 49The bang is accompanied by shattering glass and rubble falling, something hits my head and everything goes black. Hands yank me from the bed as I regain consciousness. My ears are ringing and my eyes sting. I can't see anything as I'm carried from the bed. I can hear panicked shouts but I

I spend some time relaxing in the warm water, letting the heat soak away some of my aches. Then I notice how hairy I am. Wow, who knew I could grow so much hair in 6 weeks? I glance around for a razor, I can't walk around like this. I might be the reincarnation of a cavewoman but it's 2024, there's
“What happened to him?” I whisper, sadness squeezing my heart. “He’s been struggling since the incident. Don't worry, we will get him back,” he reassures, rubbing soothing circles on my back. “I see Mason is a little ray of sunshine again today,” a beautiful blonde woman rolls her eyes and glances
Chapter 51“Mine!” the words slip from my mouth and as if the wolf hears me it stops in its tracks. Turning its head its glowing blue eyes find mine immediately. I recognise it, it's Mason. He looks to have some kind of internal struggle as the light in its eyes dims before shining even brighter, an
Chapter 52Theo's room is decorated more modestly than the rest of the house, with plain blue walls and curtains. It's a typical teenage boy's bedroom apart from the huge bed that takes up almost the whole floor space. The bed is like the one we had at the apartment and I wonder if it's a standard b
Chapter 53The phone rings twice before I hear Dot’s voice.“Luke, you better be calling with some good news because I'm going crazy here. She should be awake by now and the healers need…”“Hi, Dot,” I cut her off. I can't believe no one has told her I’m awake yet. “Josie?” she gasps.“Yes, it's me
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,
