I push open the door of the bookshop, the bell announcing my arrival and my mum lifts her head from the book she was lost in. “Josie, how lovely to see you,” she smiles warmly, standing from her seat. I introduce her to Axel and Luke, telling her they are my college friends and she makes a round of
Chapter 138** Luke’s POV **It’s been two weeks since we found out the Elders are Spark-bonded and have the ability to open the portals to get us home. Tension here in the human realm is building and if we don't do something soon this realm may be beyond repair. Multiple places of worship across al
Chapter 139** Josie’s POV **The guys are acting a little off. I know they're hiding something. I just can't put my finger on what it is. Deacon had been out most of the day, meeting with his trusted contacts across the world whilst Axel and Luke had spent the day following me around. I'd barely ha
Chapter 140** Josie’s POV **I wake up alone, which is odd and not something that happens often. My stomach rumbles with hunger and my bladder screams for release. I get up with a groan, I wouldn't have minded a few extra hours of sleep. My legs are still a little unsteady after last night's antics
Chapter 141** Josie’s POV **Luke and Axe make quick work of tying us together, despite the tremble I notice in both of their hands. It’s obvious neither of them wants to do this. They're fighting their every instinct to protect me but I haven't left them much choice. We either do this together or
“I hear you, with my ears. How do I hear you?” Luke gasps. “Because I’m destroying this forsaken place,” I tell him through clenched teeth as I push the darkness away. I place lights on the ceiling and suddenly my vision comes to light as a nondescript hallway reveals itself around us. It's the mos
Chapter 142** Josie’s POV **“Baby Girl, you have no idea how much I missed you,” Theo says breathlessly when our lips finally part, “I don’t ever want to let you go but damn, Girl, you got heavier, what have you been eating? Let me get a good look at you,” he lowers me to my feet and steps back to
“I’ll try my best for you,” he says in a barely audible whisper and I'm unsure if he is talking to me or his unborn child. My heart swells and I run my fingers through his hair, enjoying being able to finally touch him. He lifts his head to look up at me and I’m shocked to see a lone tear roll down
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
Chapter 4** Harper’s POV **“Open your eyes,” Sage says so softly that I only just hear her. My eyelids flutter open, and I have a moment of panic as I adjust to my new vision. I can still see Demi’s light and the tendrils that reach out to her bonds, but my vision is not as it once was. I can see
Chapter 3** Harper’s POV **“Harper, would you like to come with me? Your lessons start today,” a female voice whispers, startling me out of my thoughts.I turn to see Sage standing beside my seat. How had she snuck up on me without my notice?Other students turn in their seats to look at us and I
