Chapter 152** Deacon’s POV **I deliver my bond group back home and fight off the urge to stay with them. I have so much to do when what I really want is to scoop Josie up and take her up to bed then watch her fall apart as all five of us show her exactly how much we love her. I hand Luke the tech
Chapter 153** Josie’s POV **Theo helps me cook lasagne whilst Mason and Axel sit at the kitchen table discussing more in-depth plans for our ambush of Cornelius. They go through various scenarios and backup plans until Luke comes home. “We should be live,” he announces excitedly, placing a laptop
“Can you just tell me what’s going on?” I finally ask, unable to take this any longer. “Deacon wants to scan you for compulsion or deception,” Axel says and my heart begins to pound in my chest. Deacon doesn’t trust me. After everything we have been through he still doubts me. The compulsion I can
Chapter 153** Josie’s POV **Deacon gets Mason’s attention, capturing his gaze. “Mason, relax, she didn't betray us. Don’t hurt them,” Deacon pleads, his words thick with compulsion. My wolf tilts her head curiously as she watches them. Mason stills and then takes in the scene with a look of confu
“Mace, hold him,” I say, motioning to Theo and he quickly wraps his arms around Theo’s weak body, turning him to face me as he supports him from behind. Theo closes his eyes as I bring my hand to hover over his bruised neck. I’m still not 100% sure what I'm doing but I let my insticts guide me and
Chapter 155** Axel’s POV **Walking away from Josie and leaving her alone with Mason was difficult after what he had just done. I do trust him with her 100% but it's hard to get over seeing him try to hurt her just minutes ago, even though I know it wasn't him, not really. Compulsion like that is a
“Cheers to that,” Mason says, lifting his glass of water in a gesture Josie had taught us. Josie lifts her glass, clinking it against his before taking a drink. “She also identified Cornelius as her father,” Deacon says and Josie shudders. “For the record, I see absolutely no resemblance between th
Chapter 156** Josie’s POV **Deacon gets to me first, lifting me off of my chair to sit on his lap facing the others. Four sets of heated eyes watch as Deacon's hands roam over my body. He cups my breasts from behind, pinching my nipples between his thumbs and fingers through the fabric of my top a
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
