Chapter 151** Josie’s POV **Just when I think Mason can’t surprise me anymore he shows me this gentle side of him that makes me melt for him. The room is lit by the warm glow of candles and sensual music plays softly in the background. Who knew he could be so tender and attentive? Don’t get me wro
Chapter 152** Deacon’s POV **I deliver my bond group back home and fight off the urge to stay with them. I have so much to do when what I really want is to scoop Josie up and take her up to bed then watch her fall apart as all five of us show her exactly how much we love her. I hand Luke the tech

“Can you just tell me what’s going on?” I finally ask, unable to take this any longer. “Deacon wants to scan you for compulsion or deception,” Axel says and my heart begins to pound in my chest. Deacon doesn’t trust me. After everything we have been through he still doubts me. The compulsion I can
Chapter 153** Josie’s POV **Deacon gets Mason’s attention, capturing his gaze. “Mason, relax, she didn't betray us. Don’t hurt them,” Deacon pleads, his words thick with compulsion. My wolf tilts her head curiously as she watches them. Mason stills and then takes in the scene with a look of confu
“Mace, hold him,” I say, motioning to Theo and he quickly wraps his arms around Theo’s weak body, turning him to face me as he supports him from behind. Theo closes his eyes as I bring my hand to hover over his bruised neck. I’m still not 100% sure what I'm doing but I let my insticts guide me and
Chapter 155** Axel’s POV **Walking away from Josie and leaving her alone with Mason was difficult after what he had just done. I do trust him with her 100% but it's hard to get over seeing him try to hurt her just minutes ago, even though I know it wasn't him, not really. Compulsion like that is a
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 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
