Chapter 203** Josie’s POV **I hear movement from inside the house and moments later the door opens with a creek. Rochelle looks at us, her face confused as she takes us in, then recognition finally dawns on her as she focuses on me.“Josie? What are you doing here?” She asks. Her tone is not unfri
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 207** Josie’s POV **Mason finally drifts off to sleep with a contented look on his face. I slip out of the bed and look at him with a smile. He’s so handsome, especially when he is relaxed like this. I turn to creep out of the room when I realise the predicament I’m in. Mason destroyed my
Chapter 208** Josie’s POV **We port in with the military teams and the moment we have everyone here a shield goes up to block anyone from being able to port out. The men begin to move in, approaching the Mall from all sides.We have been paired with Bryce and a few other men, and we run towards th
Chapter 209** Josie’s POV **When he returns, Bryce says, “The two from the assessment office are still out. The doctor said there is no change. " “Thought so,” Deacon nods, and explains his theory about them being compelled to Bryce.“Makes sense, they clearly have someone with enough juice to do
Chapter 210** Josie’s POV **The prison has a smell I can’t pinpoint. It’s like a mix of a school and a hospital. The lights are harsh fluorescent, the kind that tries too hard to imitate natural daylight, but instead, they give you a headache, and you can’t wait to escape. I guess it’s fitting the
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
