Chapter 68I shift in my seat, my spine straightening to match Mr. Collins's rigid posture, the tension crackles between us like static electricity. I can sense that he’s on the verge of some clever retort that could tilt this battle of wills in his favour. His confident smirk suggests he has an ace
Chapter 69“Actually. Let's move this to my office, I'd rather not have this conversation in a filing cupboard,” Mr Collins’ voice rumbles and I avoid looking at him as Luke guides me out of the room with an arm around my shoulders. We get to the office door and Luke wraps his arms tighter around m
Chapter 70“We managed to get pizza, some pie, and a selection of fruit. That's all they had left,” Theo announces, jolting me back to the present. I blink, shaking off the remnants of sleep, and sit up slowly, orienting myself. The firm cushions of the couch in Mr. Collins’ office shift under my we
Chapter 71“Set it up,” Mr Collins agrees. “It’s my mum's birthday next weekend, she is having a party, we can get in easily then,” Mason sighs. “Perfect, we will be discrete so as not to draw attention or ruin her birthday,” Mr Collins assures. Mason shrugs like he doesn't care either way, I sens
“Can I borrow that?” I ask pointing to the laptop as if nothing happened. “Nope,” he quips back.“Why not?” I pout. “Because very few people are allowed to have that kind of access to the human realm, it's too risky. What do you need it for?”“I mean, I would love to chat with my friends but I kno
Chapter 72Mason steps closer to me, getting into my personal space. “Who is that?” he asks again in a low threatening tone. I clearly have issues because I am so turned on by him right now.“That was Conor,” I smirk, taunting him.“Mace,” Theo tries to reason.“Don’t fucking pretend that it didn't
Chapter 73Luke holds me tight against him whilst the nausea grips me. I focus on my breathing, waiting for it to pass.“You can't be here. Leave now, or I’m calling the police,” a startled female voice chastises.“We are supposed to be here, we are your friends, we came to help you,” Mr Collins’ sm
Axel nods and his shoulders drop lightly as he smiles. Mason just scowls as usual. Mr Collins leans forward and says something to the security guard and then we are ushered inside with a friendly smile. “Nice to see you all again,” the bouncer grins. “You too,” I smile back as I step inside. The sm
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,
