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
Chapter 153** Josie’s POV **Theo helps me cook lasagne whilst Mason and Axel sit at the kitchen table discussing more in-depth plans for our ambush of Cornelius. They go through various scenarios and backup plans until Luke comes home. “We should be live,” he announces excitedly, placing a laptop
“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
“Cheers to that,” Mason says, lifting his glass of water in a gesture Josie had taught us. Josie lifts her glass, clinking it against his before taking a drink. “She also identified Cornelius as her father,” Deacon says and Josie shudders. “For the record, I see absolutely no resemblance between th
Chapter 156** Josie’s POV **Deacon gets to me first, lifting me off of my chair to sit on his lap facing the others. Four sets of heated eyes watch as Deacon's hands roam over my body. He cups my breasts from behind, pinching my nipples between his thumbs and fingers through the fabric of my top a
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 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
