All Chapters of Fractured: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11The telltale growl of a predator grows louder as it approaches from the darkness. I urge my feet to run, but they refuse. I try to force out a scream, but it won't come. The only thing I can do is breathe heavily as panic grips me. My legs begin to tremble under the weight of my fear. “Don't move,” A voice whispers from behind me. I want to respond that I couldn't move even if I wanted to, but words fail me. I hear a whoosh behind me and then a huge dog appears at my side, growling aggressively back at the predator lurking in the shadows. The dog moves to stand in front of me protectively, its thick black coat shining in the moonlight. It edges forward, snarling and snapping its jaws. Then I see it, bright blue eyes emerge from the shadows. Coming out to challenge my protector. It's at this moment that I realise these are not just big dogs, they're freaking wolves! Why are there wolves here? My mind goes back to the books I'd read. The originals were soulbound to the wolf

Chapter 13“Did you bond?” Mason asks in disgust, his eyes flicking between me and Theo.“No. Why are you here?” Theo asks with a sigh and I don't miss the look of relief on Mason’s face. “Because you woke me up when you were sneaking out of my room. I came to your room and you weren't there. Then I heard you in here. What did you want and why are you here?” he asks. Theo hesitates. “Because I was checking if it was you that was watching us sleep, and I'm here to keep her safe,” “You think I was in here watching you?” Mason snorts. “Well you're the only one that has the problem with her, so yes, you were my first guess,” Theo shrugs.“I have better things to do than watch you in bed with her,” Mason snarls before storming off. Theo closes the door with a sigh and I can see how much he wants to go after Mason, how torn he is between staying here with me or going after Mason. “Go, he needs you,” I tell him softly.“No, I need to stay here and keep you safe,” he insists.“Unless the

Chapter 15“Stop,” Theo shouts, grabbing my hand when it's just millimetres away from touching Mason.“Just let her, I don't believe any of it anyway. Nothing is going to happen,” Mason protests. “No, Mr Collins said she shouldn't touch any unbonded males until the seer has been,” Theo tells him. “When have I ever given a fuck about what Deacon says,” Mason snorts like the arrogant jerk he is. “Is this a bad time?” a polite voice interrupts and I look up to see Starbucks guy standing at our table. “Yes,” Theo and Mason say in unison. “No,” I smile at him, grateful for the distraction. He leans down and places a large Starbucks cup on the table and slides it over to me. “You looked like you needed this,” he smiles and my eyes fill with tears. “Thank you, you don't know just how much I need this,” I greedily grab the warm cup in both hands and bring it to my mouth, letting out a satisfied moan as the sweet hot liquid hits my tongue. “Damn babe, what's in that cup?” Theo laughs.

Chapter 17The tutor ushers into an empty classroom and closes the door behind her. The moment the door closes her whole demeanour changes and she flings her arms around Luke. I stare wide-eyed wondering what on earth is going on here. “Oh my goodness, Luke, you found your bond?” she asks excitedly. “It's complicated, the seer hasn't been yet but it's unlikely, she and Theo felt The Spark, we didn't,” he shrugs.“That doesn't mean anything, if it's true, The Spark only triggers in order of the original bonding,” she reaches up and scruffs his hair. “Um, sorry to interrupt but what is going on?” I ask. “Sorry, how rude of me. I'm Alice, Luke’s sister,” she grins, holding a hand out to shake. I take the offered hand, “I’m Josie,”“Why didn't you mention our tutor was your sister?” I ask Luke accusingly.“Because it is a secret, only the staff know,” “Why is it a secret?” I frown. “We don't want other students to know or they'd accuse me of giving him preferential treatment. It's j

Chapter 19Mr Collins takes his place on the podium and the room falls silent. Anger radiates from him and I'm unsure if it's at my outburst or for some other reason.“Thank you all for arriving here promptly and I apologise for the disturbance but this is not a matter that can wait. This morning I have had to suspend three of our students, and I will not hesitate to suspend more should I need to. I know the rumours that are spreading around the school may be concerning for some, and for others this may be exciting. I can confirm that we highly suspect The Spark bond has been triggered between our new student, Josie Banks and one of our previously unbonded, Theo Henry, although we are yet to have definite proof of this. What I will not stand for is unbonded students purposely trying to trigger The Spark. We do not go around making grabs at other students, especially when they are unwanted. The seer has kindly rearranged her schedule and will arrive tomorrow to identify any further bon
