Chapter 201** Deacon’s POV **I pick up the plate of food on the table. I’m sure the girl is wrong about this. She has been through a lot and is clearly very scared, so I’m not surprised she suspects the food is poisoned. Given the rogue’s previous history of attempting to poison food and water, I’

Chapter 204** Mason’s POV **After watching the reunion between Josie’s childhood friend and her daughter, my heart ached even more for Harper. I can't imagine going over two years without seeing her like Rochelle had. There’s no way I’m going to let that happen. Josie, Luke and Theo had gone to r
Chapter 205 ** Josie’s POV **The next few days pass in disappointment, with no new leads and no success with Sage. Raff suspects the rogue faction has gone deep into hiding after they discovered we had found Annie, Lola and the children. Which makes sense, but it only makes it harder for us.The o
Chapter 206** Mason’s POV **Axe and Deacon went to bed hours ago. I went too, but I haven’t slept a wink. Instead, I’ve been sitting at the small vanity table in the bedroom, staring at the blinking red dot on a laptop screen. It’s been almost 12 hours since Archie was taken, and he has been move
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 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
