Chapter 30 “Bullshit!” Luke exclaims. “You're lying,” Theo accuses. “You were all there, the seer did not identify me as one,” Deacon shrugs as if it's no big deal. “That was because the commotion broke her trance before she was done,” Luke protests. “I spoke with her afterwards and she said s
Chapter 31 Luke’s coffee is almost as good as the Starbucks one. I’m impressed by his barista machine and skills. Axel also enjoys it and declares he’ll only be drinking the ‘human stuff’ from now on. Luke tells us how he sneaks to the human realm often to get supplies and I insist he takes me wit
Chapter 32Once the dining hall has cleared out there's a tense silence as we all wait for Mason to explain.“Well?” Mr Collins demands. I can only see his feet from my position behind the wall of muscle. The dagger clatters to the floor in between Mason and Mr Collins’ feet. “Someone threw that at
Chapter 33Theo follows my gaze and I feel his arms tighten around me a little. Then his eyes shift behind me, and in a flash, he spins me and pushes me like I'm on fire, “Axel’s turn” he declares as I crash into Axel. He catches me with an “oomph” and I curse at Theo. “Are you okay?” Axel asks, st
Chapter 34Theo opens a box and frowns before reaching in and holding up a textbook with ‘Criminology’ printed on the front. “What in the realm do they want us to study now?” he rolls his eyes. I run to check the box, hope washing away all the side effects of teleporting. “Oh my god,” I gasp. Reach
Chapter 35Luke pulls his hand from my panties and I almost cry in protest, until he spins me around and lifts me off of my feet. My legs wrap around his waist and I bring my mouth to his, kissing him as he walks towards the dining table. The move reminds me of Deacon and my heart skips a beat. No.
Chapter 36“What the fuck Mason!” Luke curses. Axel pulls me from the table, wrapping his arms around me to shield me with his body. “Not cool Mace, he's not a part of our bond!” Theo admonishes. Axel guides me to his room, which is the closest escape. Once the door is closed he releases me to fet
Chapter 37“No, fuck you, because one day soon, I will,” he growls. “And make no mistake little whore, you will be begging me for it,” I’m equally furious and turned on. Fully aware that I'm still not wearing any underwear under my skirt.“Mason, please” I whimper, not entirely sure what I'm asking
Chapter 17** Harper’s POV **Archie and Dillon bombard Finley with questions about Chase, and I can’t listen anymore. I’m torn between fear, intrigue, a need to help my bond, who is clearly struggling, whilst protecting my others, and a sense of injustice.Before I started the academy, I had been w
“I know,” Chase says, voice distant now, like he’s already retreating into himself.I don’t look back. I don’t dare because I’m not sure what I will do. As much as he terrifies me, he’s also my bond, and it’s in my nature to want to be with him.Archie closes the door behind us and we all stand in t
Chapter 16** Harper’s POV **“Get out!” Chase growls.No one moves.The room feels like it is suspended in a breathless stillness as no one dares move or breathe. Chase’s growl rumbles against my chest, his head still resting there like I’m the only thing anchoring him to this world. I keep my arms
Chapter 15** Harper’s POV **Fear trickles down my spine as I stand in the dark apartment. I’ve been slightly afraid of the dark since living in those underground tunnels, buy I refuse to let the fear control me. I take a steadying breath and let my eyes adjust to the darkness. With every passing h
Chapter 14** Harper’s POV **Demi looks different today. She has a glow about her and her smile is brighter.“How is life with your bonds?” I ask.We texted yesterday, and she told me the names of her bonds, but I have yet to see them.“Oh moons, last night was amazing! I was so nervous but they we
Chapter 13** Harper’s POV **After class, we wait for Dillon by the door. He rounds the corner a few moments later and I smile. I’ll never get bored with seeing his eyes light up whenever he notices me.“Hey, are we ready to do this?” he asks as he approaches.“Yes, although I’m not sure what exact
Chapter 12** Harper’s POV **The dining hall is not as busy this morning. I suspect it will get more crowded as students wake up, but for now it’s manageable. We join the small queue together and I’m already missing my dad’s famous pancakes that he would make almost every morning for the whole fam
Chapter 11** Dillon’s POV **Harper is an angel, or maybe a devil is a more fitting description, because seeing her in these tiny pieces of fabric makes me want to sin. I feel bad for looking at her whilst she sleeps, but I can’t pull my eyes from her. She had fallen asleep about an hour ago. I kn
Chapter 10** Harper’s POV **Having Dillon and Archie’s hands on me is bliss. I had felt so out of place in the dining hall, but here, with these two, I feel home. It’s as if their touch alone can strengthen me, and make me more myself. The guys don’t go further than touching. Archie grazes my ni
