Chapter 214** Josie’s POV **We all freeze, waiting for some reaction from my mum, who looks at me in confusion before rushing to me and pulling me in for a hug.“I’m sorry, Josie Bean, I know you told us to stay home, but I couldn’t sit there any longer. Frank is there and will call if Harper turn
Chapter 215** Josie’s POV **“I know you,” my mum says as she points at Robert. “Mum, come on, let's go and sit down,” I say, trying to turn her attention away from Robert, who looks like a deer caught in headlights. My mum turns back to look at me with wide eyes, “We need to talk, privately,” sh
Chapter 216** Theo’s POV **I’m angry. So angry that I want to punch Robert, but I guess it’s frowned upon to punch a dying man. Instead, I just scowl at him as I pass him to go and comfort my bond. At least he has the decency to look remorseful.Why didn’t he tell her straight away? Why did he let
Chapter 217** Josie’s POV **After an hour of arguing, we finally all agree that one of our bond group should try to infiltrate the rogues with Robert. Raff had wanted to send one of his men, but we need someone who can resist compulsion and communicate with the rest of us without the need for any
Chapter 218** Luke’s POV **I’m unsure why, but I don’t want to find the Spark bond journal, which is completely the opposite of what I expected of myself. Usually, if someone offered that kind of information, I’d be itching to get my hands on it. To hold a book in my hands that a previous version
Chapter 219** Josie’s POV **Luke is nervous, despite his brave face, I can feel it through the bond. I want to talk to him about it, to tell him how proud and grateful we all are that he is willing to do this for our daughter, but I know he would be offended by that because I would be if any of my
Chapter 220** Mason’s POV **Luke has just suggested a terrifying, very possible theory. How the fuck do we find someone underground? How do we even get in there without risking collapsing the cavern below us?I’d quite happily start removing the ground from below each of the places that have been
Chapter 221** Luke’s POV **My wrist still burns while Josie heals it. The pain was not quite as bad as I imagined, but it was close. I think kissing Josie helped, and I felt the guys lending me their strength through the bond. That’s what I love the most about them. We are never alone in anything.
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
