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 74I search my memory for the perfect song that will help me stand out in a sea of dancing people. It needs to be something that most clubgoers won't easily know how to move to, leaving them swaying or slow grinding, maybe even taking a break to rest or grab another drink. Allowing me space
Chapter 75The music cuts out and the room is filled with worried chatter as the clubgoers try to figure out what is happening. Lights start to shine too brightly as people take out their phones and turn on the flashlights. “Josie,” Coner shouts in warning and I turn back to see him struggling to e
Chapter 76I crouch down, taking Coner’s wrist and applying pressure to the place the librarian had shown us and seconds later Coner recovers.“Keep holding there for a minute,” I tell him and his fingers replace mine on his wrist as I move to repeat the action on Molly. She yanks her hand from me w
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
Chapter 6** Harper’s POV **I lean against the closed door and bring my fingers to my lips, closing my eyes whilst I remember the feel of Dillon’s lips against mine. I can’t wait to do that again. Will kissing Archie feel the same? The sound of movement from one of the rooms catches my attention,
Chapter 5** Harper’s POV **Sage’s hand lands on Dillon’s forearm, not his shoulder. What does that mean?Axel comes over and puts a hand on Dillon’s shoulder before guiding him away. I attempt to follow, but he puts a hand up to stop me. He gives me the universal sign for “It’s okay” and I can fin
