“Are you okay, Sir?” Josie’s angelic voice brushes over me like a healing balm, and I absorb the comfort her presence brings me for a few seconds before I school my features and turn to face her.“Yes, I just swam too hard. Is everything okay?” I ask, glancing behind her to see if she is alone. I do
Chapter 78**Josie’s POV**My bare feet pad silently down the hall, I open the first door I come across on my way to the kitchen and sigh in relief when I see it's a bathroom. I use the toilet before splashing water on my face. The heat from the fire has me feeling flushed. Cupping my hand under the
Chapter 79Clean, clean and clean, should be renamed awkward, embarrassing and uncomfortable, when you're in your headmaster's house with your ex and his girlfriend that you just kidnapped from the human realm. I'd been wrapped in a blanket and bundled upstairs to a bedroom that had an en-suite bath
Chapter 80I grip the pressure point on my wrist, the nausea passing quickly. “Bed or couch?” Luke asks.“Couch,” He lowers me gently to the couch and kisses me before declaring he's going to shower and then make me coffee, I pull him back down for another kiss to express my gratitude. He knows ju
Chapter 81** Mason’s POV **I wish I could tell them how much I want them, both of them. I wish I could be more like they are, more open, but I learnt the hard way that admitting any kind of feelings or showing affection is just giving someone an opportunity to hurt you. Every time I even think abo
“Yes, fuck yes,” I say quickly. How can something that feels this good be wrong? Theo wants this, Josie wants this and I want this. My dad is nothing but a liar. Theo sucks me into his mouth again and I have to focus hard not to blow my load already. I’m not ready for this to end. Josie takes the bo
**Chapter 82** **Josie’s POV** It takes a lot of willpower to leave my bedroom. I really want to be with them, to share in this special moment I know is about to unfold, but I also realise this is their time, it's something they’ve both been wanting for ages, and they truly deserve it. My heart
Chapter 83** Theo’s POV **I’m not ashamed to say I cried after Mason finally gave in to what we both wanted. I had sobbed like a small child and he hadn’t pushed me away, he had pulled me into his arms and held me. He had uttered words of apology and at first, I thought he was scared he'd done som
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
