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
“Hey,” I grin at him and go to greet him with a hug. “Is everything okay?” he asks, smiling down at me.“No, we have no food,” I laugh.“Well, that's a problem,” he frowns.“Could we call Mr Collins to bring us something? I need to speak to him for an update on my mum anyway,” I ask, gripping his j
Chapter 58After showering as fast as possible I dash back out in my towel. Voices in the living area stop me and I grin when I hear Mason and Theo are back. I'm about to walk out to greet them when I hear my name mentioned. I pause, focusing my hearing to listen in on their hushed conversation.“Ho
“Are you sure you can be trusted around her, you do know her heat is starting?” Theo asks bitterly. “The timing is not great, I have you to thank for that, I suggest you stay very close,” Deacon says, sounding very much like the headmaster and not a part of our bond. “Yes, Sir,” Theo mocks, “Jose,
Chapter 206** Mason’s POV **Axe and Deacon went to bed hours ago. I went too, but I haven’t slept a wink. Instead, I’ve been sitting at the small vanity table in the bedroom, staring at the blinking red dot on a laptop screen. It’s been almost 12 hours since Archie was taken, and he has been move
Chapter 205 ** Josie’s POV **The next few days pass in disappointment, with no new leads and no success with Sage. Raff suspects the rogue faction has gone deep into hiding after they discovered we had found Annie, Lola and the children. Which makes sense, but it only makes it harder for us.The o
Chapter 204** Mason’s POV **After watching the reunion between Josie’s childhood friend and her daughter, my heart ached even more for Harper. I can't imagine going over two years without seeing her like Rochelle had. There’s no way I’m going to let that happen. Josie, Luke and Theo had gone to r
Chapter 203** Josie’s POV **I hear movement from inside the house and moments later the door opens with a creek. Rochelle looks at us, her face confused as she takes us in, then recognition finally dawns on her as she focuses on me.“Josie? What are you doing here?” She asks. Her tone is not unfri
Chapter 202 **Josie’s POV **The woman on the other side of the glass is the image of her mother and looking at her makes me feel as though I’ve been transported back through time, to when her mother was younger, and we attended high school together.Rochelle was a friend of mine. She lived on my s
Chapter 201** Deacon’s POV **I pick up the plate of food on the table. I’m sure the girl is wrong about this. She has been through a lot and is clearly very scared, so I’m not surprised she suspects the food is poisoned. Given the rogue’s previous history of attempting to poison food and water, I’
Chapter 200** Josie’s POV **“We have the adults separated, but the kids are together, they all seem scared. The two women are very concerned about the kids. I think they are their caretakers and possibly the mothers of some of them,” Raff says when we arrive.“Have they said anything useful?” Mace
Chapter 199** Axel’s POV **I’m at the beach, splashing in the water with the kids and I look back to see my beautiful bond laying on a towel, sunbathing in a black bikini. The sun casts a glow over her, making her skin shimmer with a fine layer of sweat under its heat. She never fails to captivate
Chapter 198** Josie’s POV **I take the packet of biscuits from Luke’s hand, as he calls Raff. The date on them is almost a year from now. These must have been bought recently. I have the urge to run outside and shout for Harper, but I know that won’t help. If there are Greys still here, then my sh
