Chapter 191**Deacon’s POV **I can’t help but grin at Axel as he backs away from the woman with a genuine look of fear on his face. The guy is huge, and he will fight pretty much anything that stands in his way, apart from women. I do not doubt if the female was attacking Josie or one of the kids,
Chapter 192** Josie’s POV **I wake up with a gasp, the air feels thick and emotion clogs my throat. I had the worst nightmare. Harper was chained up like a rabid animal, and they were torturing her for information, information she didn’t have about the prison and how to release the occupants in it
Chapter 193** Mason’s POV **I drag myself away from Josie, hoping she, Theo and Luke manage to get some sleep. It would be so easy to shut myself away with them and drown in my own despair, but I have work to do to find my daughter. Deacon’s idea of splitting into two groups was a good one. This w
Chapter 194** Josie’s POV **I managed to sleep for a solid six hours after my shower with Luke. I roll onto my side, expecting Luke or Theo to be next to me, but for the first time in years, I’ve woken up alone, and I don’t like it. I drop my shields that I’d kept up all night, I need to feel my
Chapter 195** Josie’s POV **“So what’s the plan? Sage is resting so we don’t have a seer, but we have to do something, or I’ll go mad just sitting here and waiting,” I say to Luke and Theo.“We could go and check out some of the abandoned places on the maps. Maybe go over the ones that have alread
“Great, thanks. Have there been any updates recently?” I ask.“Yes, we just confirmed two of the locations have definitely housed Greys, and a team has just identified a third location that I have a team on the way to,” she nods and brings up a picture of what looks like a disused prison. “Is that
Chapter 196** Josie’s POV **We arrive outside the address we had been given for Emma and Thoe lets out a whistle. The house is huge, even bigger than ours, which is rare in this realm, considering we have the largest bond group. It reminds me of an English country manor house and the garden is wel
“That is a nice story, but do you know what your dear brother, who was so full of love, did to my mother?” I snap, fury building within me like a furnace that is being fueled by every sweet word that she says about the man who almost destroyed my mum. “He didn’t mean to hurt her, Josie. What happen
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,
