“What did that fucker do to him?” he rages. His fists are clenched as he begins pacing the small bathroom. “I don't know Theo, no one does except Mason and his father,” I step into his path, dropping my pillow to place my hands on his chest. “Calm down, I need to try and keep my heartbeat steady or
Chapter 54“Looks like we are going for that run now,” I hear Theo sigh as I dart after Mason. I don't wait for the others, I lower my nose to the ground letting my wolf guide us with her instincts as she takes note of Mason's scent. “Hey, no shifting in the house,” I hear a startled female voice f
“I'd say it changes a lot, she just fucking branded us,” Mason hisses and walks away. This is not going how I planned at all. “Give him a minute,” Luke says, taking my hand and stopping me when I try to go after him. “I think you hurt his pride,” Theo whispers. I turn to look at Theo, who is readj
Chapter 55The girl hangs from a tree branch with a rope around her neck, her long dark hair covers her face and she has the letter J carved into her abdomen. It's not hard to miss the message. She looks very similar to me and the J has to be for Josie. “Mason give me your phone,” I pat his pockets
“Why on earth did you want to touch the body?” he asks me.“I wanted to check for rigor mortis, I suspect she hasn't been there very long but she has been dead a while,” I shrug. “And what makes you suspect that?” he raises a brow.“Because she has lividity along her back, which means she was laid
Chapter 56Walking through the academy is much less embarrassing than expected, we only see a few students and they give us a wide birth. They're probably scared they might get mistaken for one of us if they get too close and then get assassinated. “Where are we staying?” I ask as we enter Ruby hou
“Fuck, Josie,” he grunts as he chases his release until we detonate together. We breathe heavily as we both float back down from our high. “Good girl,” he praises and places a gentle kiss over the spot where he'd bitten me. Then he lifts me and moves across the room to lay me on the bed. “Stay here,
Chapter 57The next morning I wake up on top of Axel, Theo is snuggled in on one side and Luke is on the other. I'm not quite sure how this happened. I'm a little disappointed that Mason isn't here but I don't think group snuggling is his thing. I wonder if I could crawl into his bed with him for so
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,
