Chapter 145** Josie’s POV **Luke brings me panties and some shorts, which I am grateful for. He looks pale and withdrawn.“Are you okay?” I ask him, reaching out to stroke his face whilst he helps me into my underwear. He nods but I don’t believe him. Deacon is busy on the phone barking orders fo
“Are they okay?” Mason asks, impatiently. “They're in perfect health,” she says and the room let out a collective sigh of relief. “If she has ingested poison it’s not had any negative effects so far. I would recommend taking her to the infirmary for a blood test to double check though. Art can disc
Chapter 146** Josie’s POV **“Food is being served in the dining hall,” Dot says as she checks the message filling us all with relief. I don’t think any of us can handle another crisis right now. “Oh good, I’m starving,” I grin.“Are you sure you want to face everyone? There's been some crazy rumo
“Look at them, pretending they're not bothered that someone outside of their bond group knocked her up. How pathetic. I’d reject her and the sprog if that was me, there's no way I’d be able to bring up a bastard child,” I hear someone say and I recognise the voice. It’s the same guy that had tried t
Chapter 147** Josie’s POV **The evening is spent exploring the house and our new rooms. My bedroom is huge and the bed is even bigger than the one at the apartment, which I didn't even think was possible. It's decorated in warm beige tones and feels fresh and peaceful with green plants scattered a
My heart skips a beat, concern for Coner and Sunny. It must have been scary for them, especially so out of the blue like this.“I understand, it's better to overreact to this than underreact,” I nod. “I’m glad you agree, I thought you may be upset with me, given your history and what he's already b
Chapter 148** Josie’s POV **Yesterday Deacon had cleared Coner of all suspicion, which brought a huge wave of relief for everyone, especially Sunny. I didn't get the chance to see Coner whilst he was here, as I was too busy being distracted by my men in the most pleasurable way. The afternoon that
** Josie’s POV **Mason closes the bedroom door behind him, closing me in the room with him. His eyes seem to focus on anything but me as he gathers the courage to say whatever it is he wants to talk to me about. “What’s wrong?” I ask, trying to encourage him to speak.“Nothing. Everything,” he sig
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
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
