Chapter 68I shift in my seat, my spine straightening to match Mr. Collins's rigid posture, the tension crackles between us like static electricity. I can sense that he’s on the verge of some clever retort that could tilt this battle of wills in his favour. His confident smirk suggests he has an ace
Chapter 69“Actually. Let's move this to my office, I'd rather not have this conversation in a filing cupboard,” Mr Collins’ voice rumbles and I avoid looking at him as Luke guides me out of the room with an arm around my shoulders. We get to the office door and Luke wraps his arms tighter around m
Chapter 70“We managed to get pizza, some pie, and a selection of fruit. That's all they had left,” Theo announces, jolting me back to the present. I blink, shaking off the remnants of sleep, and sit up slowly, orienting myself. The firm cushions of the couch in Mr. Collins’ office shift under my we
Chapter 71“Set it up,” Mr Collins agrees. “It’s my mum's birthday next weekend, she is having a party, we can get in easily then,” Mason sighs. “Perfect, we will be discrete so as not to draw attention or ruin her birthday,” Mr Collins assures. Mason shrugs like he doesn't care either way, I sens
“Can I borrow that?” I ask pointing to the laptop as if nothing happened. “Nope,” he quips back.“Why not?” I pout. “Because very few people are allowed to have that kind of access to the human realm, it's too risky. What do you need it for?”“I mean, I would love to chat with my friends but I kno
Chapter 72Mason steps closer to me, getting into my personal space. “Who is that?” he asks again in a low threatening tone. I clearly have issues because I am so turned on by him right now.“That was Conor,” I smirk, taunting him.“Mace,” Theo tries to reason.“Don’t fucking pretend that it didn't
Chapter 73Luke holds me tight against him whilst the nausea grips me. I focus on my breathing, waiting for it to pass.“You can't be here. Leave now, or I’m calling the police,” a startled female voice chastises.“We are supposed to be here, we are your friends, we came to help you,” Mr Collins’ sm
Axel nods and his shoulders drop lightly as he smiles. Mason just scowls as usual. Mr Collins leans forward and says something to the security guard and then we are ushered inside with a friendly smile. “Nice to see you all again,” the bouncer grins. “You too,” I smile back as I step inside. The sm
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
Chapter 9** Archie’s POV **Something is wrong with Harper. She is trying to pretend everything is fine, but I can sense her growing anxiety.Was Dillon right? Is she nervous about bonding with us? I want her, badly. I’ve dreamed about her every single night for over a year, but I can wait as long
Chapter 8** Harper’s POV **Getting our uniform takes over an hour, as it seems half of the new students had the same idea to come now like us. By the time we have it, it’s almost time for the dining hall to open. We head back up to our room to drop off our new uniform and we walk in to find Dillo
Chapter 7** Harper’s POV **Once all my belongings are in my room, Archie leaves to go unpack his stuff while I unpack mine. A large white envelope, with my name scrawled across the front, is on top of one of my boxes. Inside, I find my academy issue phone and some information booklets with a camp
