Chapter 215** Josie’s POV **“I know you,” my mum says as she points at Robert. “Mum, come on, let's go and sit down,” I say, trying to turn her attention away from Robert, who looks like a deer caught in headlights. My mum turns back to look at me with wide eyes, “We need to talk, privately,” sh
Chapter 216** Theo’s POV **I’m angry. So angry that I want to punch Robert, but I guess it’s frowned upon to punch a dying man. Instead, I just scowl at him as I pass him to go and comfort my bond. At least he has the decency to look remorseful.Why didn’t he tell her straight away? Why did he let
Chapter 217** Josie’s POV **After an hour of arguing, we finally all agree that one of our bond group should try to infiltrate the rogues with Robert. Raff had wanted to send one of his men, but we need someone who can resist compulsion and communicate with the rest of us without the need for any
Chapter 218** Luke’s POV **I’m unsure why, but I don’t want to find the Spark bond journal, which is completely the opposite of what I expected of myself. Usually, if someone offered that kind of information, I’d be itching to get my hands on it. To hold a book in my hands that a previous version
Chapter 219** Josie’s POV **Luke is nervous, despite his brave face, I can feel it through the bond. I want to talk to him about it, to tell him how proud and grateful we all are that he is willing to do this for our daughter, but I know he would be offended by that because I would be if any of my
Chapter 220** Mason’s POV **Luke has just suggested a terrifying, very possible theory. How the fuck do we find someone underground? How do we even get in there without risking collapsing the cavern below us?I’d quite happily start removing the ground from below each of the places that have been
Chapter 221** Luke’s POV **My wrist still burns while Josie heals it. The pain was not quite as bad as I imagined, but it was close. I think kissing Josie helped, and I felt the guys lending me their strength through the bond. That’s what I love the most about them. We are never alone in anything.
Chapter 222** Deacon’s POV **Luke has been radio silent for almost an hour now, but it feels more like a week. I know he is physically okay. I’ve felt a few spikes of fear and anger through the bond, but there has been no pain from him. Mostly there's just a steady hum of anxious tension coming fr
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,
