** Josie’s POV **Being a mum to six kids is tough. Especially when three of those kids had been born so close together, and another has some obvious social and sensory issues, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Harper was an amazing big sister, helping me and the guys with her younger broth
“Are you kidding me? A whole month of being cut off from my friends! This sucks. I want to go home. NOW!” she shouts, her temper flaring and her eyes flashing with the blue glow of a Grey. “Well, shit, things are about to get real interesting around here,” Theo says into the mind link as we all sta
** Josie’s POV **Deacon picks up my mum and Freya, and we head to the beach for our picnic. My mum has made cupcakes and the kids go mad for them, the twins begging for seconds with chocolate frosting smeared around their faces. The weather is as perfect as the day, with even Harper and Atlas smili
“Don’t let your dads see you checking him out like that,” I teased, and her face flushes red.“I’m not checking him out,” she huffs. “I don’t blame you, he's cute, and seems to be interested in you,” I shrug. “Eww, Mum, you're old, you can’t say boys my age are cute!” she scoffs. “Hey, less of th
** Josie’s POV **After dinner and some time in the games room, we send the younger kids up to bed and settle in to watch a movie with Harper and Atlas. We let Atlas choose the movie and, of course, it’s an action one, filled with fast-paced fighting and a dramatic plot line. We are almost at the en
Deacon is on the phone, presumably calling in for some help.“My phone, I need my phone,” I tell Axe, pushing out of his arms to find my bag. I could call Archie, she might have said something to him, and he might know if she was planning to leave. I search through my bag, but my phone is gone. “A
** Mason’s POV **This is all my fault. Harper is missing and it's because of me. I'm the one person in the world who should be able to protect her above everyone else, and I messed up, massively. Theo had promised me I'd be a good father, and that he wouldn't let me mess this up, and he'd failed to
“I’d have told you to fuck off and walked away,” I growl, angry at the thought of Dillon doing that to my daughter. “I’d have followed and tried to convince you, what would you do then?” Josie asks. “You are doing this the wrong way,” Luke interrupts. “He was not raised like us. He probably knows
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,
