Chapter 74I search my memory for the perfect song that will help me stand out in a sea of dancing people. It needs to be something that most clubgoers won't easily know how to move to, leaving them swaying or slow grinding, maybe even taking a break to rest or grab another drink. Allowing me space
Chapter 75The music cuts out and the room is filled with worried chatter as the clubgoers try to figure out what is happening. Lights start to shine too brightly as people take out their phones and turn on the flashlights. “Josie,” Coner shouts in warning and I turn back to see him struggling to e
Chapter 76I crouch down, taking Coner’s wrist and applying pressure to the place the librarian had shown us and seconds later Coner recovers.“Keep holding there for a minute,” I tell him and his fingers replace mine on his wrist as I move to repeat the action on Molly. She yanks her hand from me w
Chapter 77** Deacon, AKA, Mr Collins POV **I never wanted her in the house, not yet. Not until she was truly mine and she was ready to move in but what else could I do? She was cold and tired, and we had at least another 40 minutes before I could return them all to the academy. There was no way I
“Are you okay, Sir?” Josie’s angelic voice brushes over me like a healing balm, and I absorb the comfort her presence brings me for a few seconds before I school my features and turn to face her.“Yes, I just swam too hard. Is everything okay?” I ask, glancing behind her to see if she is alone. I do
Chapter 78**Josie’s POV**My bare feet pad silently down the hall, I open the first door I come across on my way to the kitchen and sigh in relief when I see it's a bathroom. I use the toilet before splashing water on my face. The heat from the fire has me feeling flushed. Cupping my hand under the
Chapter 79Clean, clean and clean, should be renamed awkward, embarrassing and uncomfortable, when you're in your headmaster's house with your ex and his girlfriend that you just kidnapped from the human realm. I'd been wrapped in a blanket and bundled upstairs to a bedroom that had an en-suite bath
Chapter 80I grip the pressure point on my wrist, the nausea passing quickly. “Bed or couch?” Luke asks.“Couch,” He lowers me gently to the couch and kisses me before declaring he's going to shower and then make me coffee, I pull him back down for another kiss to express my gratitude. He knows ju
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,
