I take one last longing look at my mum, she laughs loudly at something Doctor Black says and happy tears fill eyes. She’s free and I feel it in my gut that she is going to be okay now. We walk as a group of 6 to the sea wall, it’s not perfect but it’s the most sheltered place we can find without heading into the village. Luke wraps his arms around me and perfectly times our teleport when the guys hold up the picnic blanket, pretending to shake it off as they shield us from any onlookers. Nausea grips me as soon as we arrive back in Greys realm. I close my eyes and hold onto Luke until my stomach settles.
“Do you want to wait out here or sit in the car?” Luke asks, rubbing soothing circles on my back.
“Let’s wait in the car, I want to read the rest of these papers,” I breathe. Luke opens the door for me and I climb in. He informs the driver that we are waiting for the others to arrive and not to take us back to the academy yet. I hope no one noticed that two of our party had vanished into thin air and that the others find a safe place to teleport back quickly.
“How are you feeling?” Luke asks. I take a moment to asses my emotions. I’m definitely emotionally drained, it’s been such a tough day.
“You know, I’m actually pretty good,” I smile, “seeing my mum so carefree helped massively. I’m going to miss hér so much but I already lost her a year ago when she became ill. I’d get glimpses of her now and then but most of the time it wasn’t my mum in there, she was only suffering 1 might not ever be able to have a real conversation with her again but I couldn’t anyway, not really,”
“Good,” he smiles, “whenever you want to talk about her I’m here to listen, I’d love to hear your memories of her,”
“I have so many good memories of her, she was a good mother. I’m sorry you had to see her at her worst today. That person you saw was not my mum, my mum would never have spoken of you the way she did,”
“Hey don’t worry about that, besides, she did say I sounded lovely, and at least she thought I was a handsome demon and not an ugly one,” he jokes and I snort a laugh.
“What she said about my biological father being called Grey, do you think that’s really his name?” I frown.
“I doubt it, that’s like a human naming their child human. It’s probably just an alias he used in the human realm,” he shrugs.
“Do you think he’s still looking for me? He can’t have been happy that he couldn’t find me when I turned 18,”
“He must have planned to bring you here when you got your powers, but I don’t know why he didn’t plan to bring you sooner. He had to know you’d be at a disadvantage by growing…”
“Shit,” I cut him off, opening the newspaper quickly to find the article about missing 18–year–olds. “Luke, I think I know what it is we are supposed to stop,” my voice shakes with nervous realisation as I look at the faces staring at me from the paper. “They’re all like me, they’re all Greys raised in the human realm,” I don’t know how I didn’t make the connection straight away.
Luke takes the paper from me and reads the article, “I think you’re right, but why? What’s the purpose of hiding Grey kids in the human realm?” he frowns.
“Could it be the unbonded? If they have been declared as having no bond then maybe it’s a desperate attempt to have a child of their own,”
“It could be, but if they were so desperate for a child then why abandon it until it was 18? This has to be related to their gifts. They only become useful to whoever is orchestrating all this once their gifts start to manifest. I think

someone is creating an army,” he says nervously.
“I need access to the internet in the human realm, is that possible here?”
“No, it’s forbidden. I have been trying to access it for your music device to work but I can’t break through. I know someone who does have access though,” he grins.
“Who?” I ask, just as the car door opens and Mr Collins climbs into the back of the car followed by Axel, Theo and
Mason.
“I’ll give you a clue, he’s in the car with us right now,” Luke mock whispers and my eyes shift to Mr Collins who looks back at me with suspicion.
“What now?” Mr Collins sighs.
“I need access to the human realm internet,” I smile at him as sweetly as possible.
“Why?”
“Because, I think we’ve just worked out why this whole Spark bond thing happened,” I gesture to my bonds.
“Explain,” he says, and all eyes move to me with interest. I tell them my theory and Luke expands on his thoughts. Mr Collins’s frown deepens and he pulls out his phone. “I’ll look into it,” he says before letting the driver know we are ready to leave.
“I’d like to look into it myself. After all, this is what I’m here for,” I protest.
“You need to focus on your training and classes, and trust me work on the rest,” he says flatly. My wolf bristles under my skin, bolstering me to show him who is alpha here, who it is that makes the decisions.
I think “With all due respect, Sir, this is the responsibility of me and my bonds, and whilst I appreciate your help, you are overstepping your role here,” I say and I feel as though my wolf is powering my words. I’m not sure if she is trying to test him or challenge him but Mr Collins sits a little taller in his seat, his eyes flashing blue as they bore into mine holding my stare. The ass is meeting my challenge, and enjoying it by the smirk on his lips.
