Chapter 112** Josie’s POV **Deacon leaves and I try not to fret about it. I don’t want to scare him by being too clingy. I know he said he'd never leave me for long but he's spent so much time alone that I worry having a needy bond might be too much for him. I grab a bottle of water from the mini
Chapter 113** Josie’s POV **After I know Axel is safely back with the others I go to Freya’s room but she's not there. Maybe she went to the bookshop? I really need to get myself a phone, living in a modern world with no modern possessions sucks. I pass the next few hours by showering and reading
Chapter 114**Josie’s POV **I grip my wrist to help the nausea pass and warm air touches my skin. I take in our surroundings and my jaw drops at what I see. It's dark here, and the city beneath us is lit up with a stunning display of Christmas lights. Usually, I'm opposed to Christmas decorations i
Chapter 115** Deacon’s POV **Josie is truly a remarkable woman, and I find myself captivated by not only her beauty but her every action. Watching her responses to the world around her brings me so much joy. The way her eyes lit up when she first saw the lights of Dubai was simply enchanting and a
“She’s so sensitive to my touch,” I hum. “I can feel all of you. It's driving me wild,” Josie moans. “Go lay on the bed, Jose,” Theo says and she quickly moves to the bed. Crawling up it and giving me the most delectable view of her round ass before she rolls onto her back. Something about her sti
Chapter 116**Josie’s POV **The next morning comes too quickly. I’m not ready to go back to reality. I’m happy here, in this bed with Deacon’s safe arms around me and my bonds whispering in my head. If I dont open my eyes I can trick myself that we are all here together but my bladder has other ide
Chapter 117** Josie’s POV **As the sun dips behind the trees, our cosy cottage transforms, and the surrounding woods shift from enchanting to eerie in an instant. Gazing out from the cottage window feels like stepping into the opening scene of a horror movie, and I can’t get enough of it. The anti
Chapter 118** Josie’s POV **The next two weeks are spent searching the realm for broken portals. It's not easy because the world is so large and we can't just port openly like we can in the Greys realm. Each place we visit has to be carefully planned out to make sure we don’t port into the middle
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
