Chapter 182 ** Josie’s POV **We had been viewing some CCTV from an ice cream shop's exterior camera when Theo sent us an SOS. “Forget we were here,” Deacon says to the older gentleman showing us the video feed, his power washing over him easily.“Shit,” Luke curses.“They must have a ward with th
Chapter 183 ** Luke’s POV **Seeing Theo so broken had scared me. There was no need for the level of violence they had inflicted on him. He was one man alone against a team of fighters. They could have easily subdued him with minimal violence. If these people could do that to him, then what did the
Chapter 184** Deacon’s POV **The man sitting in the chair in front of me grins at me with bloodied teeth as my knuckles throb. I had lost my temper and hit him. I’d let him get to me and he knows it.“Just tell me where you think she is?” I say again.“No idea. They made sure we didn’t know anythi
Chapter 185** Josie’s POV **I don’t know how we are doing it, but somehow we are all still holding ourselves together. I think it’s because we know if we break down now, we will never find Harper. If we have any chance of bringing her home, we need to be fully functioning and focused. We have alre
Chapter 186** Josie’s POV **Once the rest of Raff’s men arrive, Deacon calls everyone outside to explain everything we know so far. I hate that we have to go into such detail, exposing Harper’s possible seer gift to all these people, but if it has even the slightest chance to bring her home, then
Chapter 187** Josie’s POV **“Hello,” Archie answers on the fourth ring and the room goes silent as they all listen in to the conversation.“Hi Archie, it’s Josie, Harper's mum. I was wondering if you would be willing to come and have a chat with us here in the human realm, with your parents' permi
Chapter 188** Luke’s POV **Every unbonded I talk with agrees to come to the human realm once I explain the situation. Some offer to directly help with the search for Harper and some are only interested in coming to have the seer check if they have a bond in the realm, which is fine. Even if they'r
Chapter 189** Josie’s POV **The basement has a somber atmosphere when we return, and I have a split second of dread. When Theo notices me though, he gives me a tight smile and I know I’d have felt the devastation through the bond if they’d been given bad news.“Any updates?” I ask, needing to know
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,
