“Are you sure you can be trusted around her, you do know her heat is starting?” Theo asks bitterly.
“The timing is not great, I have you to thank for that, I suggest you stay very close,” Deacon says, sounding very much like the headmaster and not a part of our bond..
“Yes, Sir,” Theo mocks, “Jose, I’ll be right outside the door, if you need me just shout,”
“Thanks, Theo,” I smile at him, happy for his support and is attitude towards Deacon on my behalf. Deacon closes the door behind Theo and comes to sit beside me with a sigh. I keep my eyes trained on the carpet.
“Josie, I didn’t want you to find out this way, and especially not now,” he says softly.
“Why? Why didn’t you want me to know?” I fight back the tears. I won’t let him see me cry.
“There are a few reasons, the first one being that you are only 18,”
“So there’s a bit of an age gap, that’s your biggest issue?” snort. I can’t believe this guy. He didn’t seem to mind it when he was kissing me right before I triggered The Spark bond with the others. Shit. The Spark, he can’t touch me without triggering it.
“It is an issue, yes, but not in the way you are thinking. Do you remember right before your first shift when you were upset about the possibility of falling pregnant at such a young age, I told you that our males do not becomte fertile until the age of 25. I’m 26, Josie,” he explains and I feel sick. That’s why he was so offended when I mentioned unwanted pregnancies. So he hid this from me to stop me from falling pregnant so young?
“But you should have told me, we could have worked something out,” my voice trembles.
“I did plan to when the time was right, I was trying to find way to make it work. I didn’t want you to know and still have to keep your distance from me. I didn’t want you to suffer the way I am. I long for you every second of every day, it’s torture. You have no idea how hard it is to see you and know you are mine and not be able to touch you,” he admits and it takes so much willpower not to jump into his arms.
“But why would we have to keep our distance? Is it because of The Spark?” I frown. I don’t understand. I get we can’t have sex but we can cuddle at least, can’t we?
“Yes, but…” he stops talking and I look up at him, he searches my face and smiles softly, then he reaches over and takes my hand in his. I flinch at the contact, expecting him to drop dead but nothing happens. I look down at my hand in his and then look back at his face. “We already have The Spark bond,” he smiles.
“How? When?” I gape.
“When you were in the coma. It was the only way I could prove to Mason that he could trust me to keep you safe, but it’s very important no one finds out. We don’t know who is trying to take you out of the picture, and if they find out that any of you have access to my level of power they will up their game. We need to keep this quiet, at least until you have all trained to harness your new gifts,”
“Okay, I can do that. I won’t tell a soul,” I nod, understanding how important this is for all of our safety.
“I know you won’t, now come here, let me finally hold you,” he pulls me towards him and I go eagerly, climbing into his lap. He leans forward and kisses me gently. You have no idea how much I think about you, how I want to be able to visit you for real and not just in a dream,”
“Wait, are you saying that dream was actually you?” I gasp
“Yes, I can dream walk,” He smirks, “I couldn’t resist you any longer, it was the only way I could be with you safely,” He brushes my hair from my face and looks into my eyes, “I want you to know I’ll do everything within

my power to keep you safe and make your life easier.” his eyes suddenly turn serious and I know what he’s about to do but I’m powerless to fight it, he already has a grip on my mind, “Which is why you are going to forget that I’m your bond, I just came here to collect my jacket and tell you that your mum is doing great and you can visit her
very soon,
N.O Darling
