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 211 ** Josie’s POV **Robert looks up at me as I enter the room. His eyes soften and a smile brushes over his lips as he takes me in. “You look just like your mother,” he says, his voice thick with emotion.“Don’t speak of my mother,” I snap and Robert flinches, sitting up a little straigh
Chapter 212** Deacon’s POV **I watch Josie talking with her father, and I’m itching to get in there. It takes a great effort not to fill her mind with all the questions I want to ask him. I want to know everything about Cornelius. If I can understand how Cornelius’ brain worked, then maybe I can w
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
