** Theo’s POV **I finally get the kids to settle down and watch a movie in the cinema room. Trying to act like everything is fine in front of the kids whilst one of them is missing is damn near impossible. When Sammy and Jensen begin to argue over seats, it takes everything in me not to completely
Chapter 182 ** Josie’s POV **We had been viewing some CCTV from an ice cream shop's exterior camera when Theo sent us an SOS. “Forget we were here,” Deacon says to the older gentleman showing us the video feed, his power washing over him easily.“Shit,” Luke curses.“They must have a ward with th
Chapter 183 ** Luke’s POV **Seeing Theo so broken had scared me. There was no need for the level of violence they had inflicted on him. He was one man alone against a team of fighters. They could have easily subdued him with minimal violence. If these people could do that to him, then what did the
Chapter 184** Deacon’s POV **The man sitting in the chair in front of me grins at me with bloodied teeth as my knuckles throb. I had lost my temper and hit him. I’d let him get to me and he knows it.“Just tell me where you think she is?” I say again.“No idea. They made sure we didn’t know anythi
Chapter 185** Josie’s POV **I don’t know how we are doing it, but somehow we are all still holding ourselves together. I think it’s because we know if we break down now, we will never find Harper. If we have any chance of bringing her home, we need to be fully functioning and focused. We have alre
Chapter 186** Josie’s POV **Once the rest of Raff’s men arrive, Deacon calls everyone outside to explain everything we know so far. I hate that we have to go into such detail, exposing Harper’s possible seer gift to all these people, but if it has even the slightest chance to bring her home, then
Chapter 187** Josie’s POV **“Hello,” Archie answers on the fourth ring and the room goes silent as they all listen in to the conversation.“Hi Archie, it’s Josie, Harper's mum. I was wondering if you would be willing to come and have a chat with us here in the human realm, with your parents' permi
Chapter 188** Luke’s POV **Every unbonded I talk with agrees to come to the human realm once I explain the situation. Some offer to directly help with the search for Harper and some are only interested in coming to have the seer check if they have a bond in the realm, which is fine. Even if they'r
Chapter 20** Harper’s POV **I wake up to warmth, skin against skin, Dillon’s soft breath on my shoulder and the bed a tangle of sheet and limbs. I never want to move from this happy little bubble.I have Archie pressed to my front, one hand cradling my cheek as if he fell asleep staring at my face
Chapter 19** Harper’s POV **I try not to gape at my bonds. This is my first time seeing any male naked, and their manhood is much bigger than I expected. It certainly didn’t look like this in the textbooks we had used in school when learning about anatomy and sex education.I have fallen for both
Chapter 18** Dillon’s POV **My mind still reels knowing that Chase is a part of our bond group. I thought Finley was a terrible fit for Harper, but Chase is even worse.I wish there was a way I could fix this for her. She is so sweet and quiet. Chase is an angry asshole with major control issues a
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
