“I’m not hungry, you guys go ahead and finish them,”“You need to eat, Josie, I'm not sure what is going on with all these changes but our appetites have increased since yesterday. There will be a very good reason for that so it is important that you eat,” Luke explains. “I’ll just grab a bag of Do
Chapter 38“I'm fine, I thought I'd connected with my wolf for a second but I didn't. Sorry for the false alarm,” I lie. Mason’s eyes narrow at me in suspicion. Now is not the time to reveal what I heard. No, I’ll save this information for when I need it. Although I'm dying to ask how he thinks he w
“I did, I knew it would happen,” I reassure him. “Theo told me that I’d need to have sex with my bonds to become bonded, I just wasn't sure if that included any type of sex,” “It's not so much the sex but the act of intimacy and most importantly, ejaculation,” Luke explains. “Understood,” I nod, “
Chapter 39Deacon’s eyes go wide before he just vanishes. Shit, shit, shit. This can't be happening right now. I feel as though something is trying to break through my skin. I try to fight the feeling, rubbing desperately at my arms.“Get her out!” Noel shouts, his tone is urgent. Which doesn't help
Chapter 40I edge towards the door, listening for any sign of who it is. I try to use the super hearing thing but either the person behind the door is extremely silent or I've not mastered how to turn my super ears on. “Who is it?” I ask.“It’s me, I'm alone. Can you please open the door before my
“Just Luke,”“If you don't go straight into heat I’d try and bond with the others, get comfortable with them all first,” she shrugs like it's so simple.“Axel and Theo are ready I think, but Mason is going to be a problem,” I sigh. “Why?” she looks concerned. I explain everything that had happened
Chapter 41I snatch up my mobile phone from the human realm that I'd left on charge in the living area then hug Dot and thank her for everything before rushing back to my room and locking the door. Although what Dot had told me about Mason weighs heavy on me I also feel lighter at everything I've le
Chapter 42“Get out!” I shriek and cover my eyes. I can't look at them. I don't want to trigger my heat yet. I'm not ready.“Who was in here with you?” Mason demands. “No one, I had a dream, now please get out,” I admit.“That was a dream?” Mason sounds suspicious. “Yes, I swear it, I woke up to y
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
