Max's POV

The angle of the sun slanting through the curtains tells me it's afternoon by the time I wake up. I yawn, stretching. Goddess, I've not slept that well in a long time. I feel like I've been passed out ever since I laid my head down. No dreams, no... bond shenanigans. Nothing. Even Medus is still half asleep somewhere in the back of my head, which might be a first since we were mated to Zahra.

I head into the shower and turn it slightly colder than usual to wake myself up. I showered t

    Max's POVWe file inside, and the moment the girl sees Christoph, she cries out, her face crumpling and her eyes welling. The relief on her face is almost painful to look at.“Thank the Goddess, you're here. We have to hurry!”I don't take a seat, instead choosing to stand by the window as my uncle, grandfather and Christoph take seats beside her bed. The other two stand around the walls like me.“Why didn't you contact me?” Christoph asks, taking Aubrey's hand from the bed.“I couldn't. That bitch tricked me into drinking something that stripped away the communication spell. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or a coincidence, but I couldn't. The only way I could get the message out was to run, and they hunted me.”My skin prickles. A spell inside her w

    Max's POVI press Luca's name as I move away. I see the warriors and my uncle and grandfather coming out of the house to escort the witches somewhere safe, so I focus on my call. It rings and rings, but finally, just as I'm about to give up, it connects.“Max? Is that you?” Luca's concern is clear in his voice. “Are you alright? Where are you? We're all worried sick!”A familiar stab of guilt hits me, but this isn't the time to unpack that particular mess.“Alpha Luca, good afternoon. I'm sorry to call.”“Don't be silly,” he interrupts. “How are you?”“I'm afraid I've not called for a catch-up. I have a rather delicate and potentially dangerous situation here, and I need your help.”“What's going on?” The change in his voice is instant, and I can imagine him sitting up straighter in his chair as he focuses on the problem.“We have just received a visit from three humans claiming to be witches.” I hear his sharp inhale. “They're also claiming that they have an alliance with King James.

I showered the grime off before I went to bed, but I'm going to need to be alert when I re-join the world. No early morning allowances in the afternoon.I head straight to my uncle's study when I get downstairs and knock on the door.“Enter,” he calls, and when I push open the door, I see Harrison lounging in the chair in front of the desk and my grandfather leaning against the wall by the window.“Ah, Max, feeling rested?” Grandfather asks, his face warm as he looks me over.“Yeah, thank you. I think I sle

    Max's POVBefore she can do more than pant and blink up at me, I feel my uncle and some of the warriors coming up behind us.She cowers back from the group, scrabbling over the ground to back away.“Stay back. Don't touch me,” she stammers, her voice trembling. She's looking at us like we're about to finish what the rogues started.Her blood is pooling beneath her, and I can hear her heart rate accelerating as her blood pressure falls.“We're not going to hurt you. We killed all the rogues chasing you. You're safe now,” I reassure her, holding my hands up placatingly and trying to keep my voice low. “What's your name?”She shakes her head.I take in more of her. She's beautiful, with deep green eyes, bright auburn hair and small, delicate, almost elfin features. Her eyes flick between all of us, and she's clearly terrified, but my uncle is quiet, and I assume that means he's letting me lead on this.“I'm Max. Will you let me pick you up and take you to a healer before you lose any mor

    Max's POVThe water's cool as it runs over my heated skin. A cold shower sometimes helps take the edge off the bond as it's waning, but I can't work out if it's helping yet. The grey of early morning is beginning to creep in through the bathroom window as I stand here.I examine my cock. Yep, I'm fairly sure that's a friction burn. The skin is tender and raw in places, and I wince as I accidentally stroke my finger over it. Medus will heal it once he's awake, but fuck, I've literally wanked so much tonight I've burnt my own cock.Fuck knows what they were up to tonight. I close my eyes against the onslaught of images and sensations I received as my brain catalogues them.Yeah, they're having a fucking wonderful time, wherever they all are.I sigh, my head falling back and hitting the tiled wall behind me.Gammy says I should write her a letter, that I need to be the first to reach out and communicate. She says a letter will let me say everything I want and need to say without getting

    Aubrey's POVNo one moves. I see a few pairs of eyes glaze over as they mind-link.Jaws turns back to face the boy.“Your information will be verified. You will wait here as our guest until we can confirm you are not leading us astray. After that... we can discuss your reward.”“Thank... thank you,” the boy stammers, bowing his head slightly, his body still trembling with nerves.Jaws nods, and the large man still holding his collar drags the boy out of the tent.“Do you believe him?” the bald man in front of me asks.“If he had nothing to gain from telling us, I'd say it was likely fabricated. But in exchange for his pack...” Jaws pauses thoughtfully. “I'd say there's a strong likelihood the information is correct. And Shadow is right where the locator spell has placed her.”“Nothing changes. We move north and send scouts,” Monvar says, and the men at the table nod.The meeting wraps up after that, and I wait for Catalina. She sits and talks with Jaws for a while, flirting and smilin

    Zahra's POVDinner last night was weird. I felt like I was under a microscope the whole time. But the strangest part wasn’t everyone staring, it was the way Tobias standing up for me made me feel. After everything, after the way he stormed into the pool party trying to have me pulled off the course
