Chapter 128** Mason’s POV **I startle awake from what started off as a fantastic dream involving Josie and Theo, that had been until my father had walked into the bedroom, his whip lashing across my back. I lay in my bed breathing heavily, my body is wet with a fine sheen of sweat. “You’re fuckin
Chapter 129** Josie’s POV **I fan my flushed face at the desire flooding the bond from Theo and Mason. I'm so pleased for them and so freaking proud because Theo has somehow convinced Mason to drop his shields completely. I feel his raw emotions for the first time and it is both soul-crushing and
“What’s gotten your heart beating like that?” Luke asks, taking the box from me, “perineal massage oil,” he reads the box, “ I volunteer,” he adds eagerly. “It says to start using 8 weeks before the due date,” Axel informs him. “I don’t think I can do this,” I breathe, panic creeping up on me.“Yo
Chapter 30** Axel’s POV **Josie jumps up from the couch, stomping out of the room.“I've got it,” I say, dropping from the mind link and following closely behind her, ready to catch her if she slips because her feet are still covered in lotion. When she gets to the bathroom she slams the door in m
Chapter 131** Josie’s POV **I’m not done talking with Axel and I'm still pissed at all of my bonds but something big is happening. “Freya called. She said this all over the news and she saw on the internet that other countries are reporting they're also on standby to receive an announcement from
Chapter 132** Josie’s POV **I walk back to the living room with Axel following close behind me like my shadow. I unlock my phone and hit call on Freya’s contact information. The phone rings once before her frantic voice answers.“Shit, Jo, this is bad, real bad,” she breathes down the phone. “I k
Freya gives him an assessing gaze and then looks to me before speaking, “Sorry girl, but I have to agree with him on this one,” she smiles apologetically. “Whatever. Can we just forget about that for now and you show us what is in the case and tell us your grand plan?” I scowl, not liking the feeli
Chapter 133** Josie’s POV **Luke and Axel hang a large black bedsheet over the wall in the living room whilst Freya puts black face paint across Deacon’s eyes to try and disguise them as much as possible. He removes his shirt and swaps it for a plain black T-shirt and then puts the mask on.“It’s
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,
