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 189** Josie’s POV **The basement has a somber atmosphere when we return, and I have a split second of dread. When Theo notices me though, he gives me a tight smile and I know I’d have felt the devastation through the bond if they’d been given bad news.“Any updates?” I ask, needing to know
Chapter 190** Axel’s POV **The fact our daughter is in danger and I have no visible target to fight is driving me insane. My beast itches under my skin, desperate to do something, he needs to take out the threat. I just have to find it for him first.“Sage, thank you for coming, we really apprecia
Sage turns her head again, staring directly at the house and steps forward. She raises a hand pointing at it and hope fills me. This is it, Myles’ bond is here, which means Harper could be in there, or someone who can lead us to her. I creep forward. Making sure not to step on anything that could gi
Chapter 191**Deacon’s POV **I can’t help but grin at Axel as he backs away from the woman with a genuine look of fear on his face. The guy is huge, and he will fight pretty much anything that stands in his way, apart from women. I do not doubt if the female was attacking Josie or one of the kids,
Chapter 192** Josie’s POV **I wake up with a gasp, the air feels thick and emotion clogs my throat. I had the worst nightmare. Harper was chained up like a rabid animal, and they were torturing her for information, information she didn’t have about the prison and how to release the occupants in it
Chapter 193** Mason’s POV **I drag myself away from Josie, hoping she, Theo and Luke manage to get some sleep. It would be so easy to shut myself away with them and drown in my own despair, but I have work to do to find my daughter. Deacon’s idea of splitting into two groups was a good one. This w
Chapter 194** Josie’s POV **I managed to sleep for a solid six hours after my shower with Luke. I roll onto my side, expecting Luke or Theo to be next to me, but for the first time in years, I’ve woken up alone, and I don’t like it. I drop my shields that I’d kept up all night, I need to feel my
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
