The music cuts out and the room is filled with worried chatter as the clubgoers try to figure out what is happening. Lights start to shine too brightly as people take put their phones and turn on the flashlights.
“Josie,” Coner shouts in warning and I turn back to see him struggling to escape the hold of two men who each grip one of his arms.
“Let him go,” I sneer. I didn’t come this far to lose him now
“Go away little girl, you have no idea who we are,” one of the men snorts and looks me over as if I’m nothing more than an ant he could easily step on. I realise then that they have absolutely no idea who I am. These two are nothing more than muscle, sent to retrieve Coner. A grin spreads across my face.
“On second thoughts, she looks fun, we could do with a little fun. Should we take her too?” the second man says and I sense my bonds closing in behind me.
“Sure, let’s go have some fun,” I smile, “You don’t mind if I bring my bonds along do you?” I raise a brow at them. Their faces drop but before they can react further their fingers that grip Coner snap back at a sickening angle. They both cry out in pain, nursing their mangled hands. Coner rushes to my side. “Sorry I forgot to mention that one is a little bit of a psycho, I hope that’s not an issue,‘ I shrug.
“How about you come back to ours instead?” Theo asks, appearing at their side in a flash.
“We didn’t mean no harm, we were just collecting a stray,” one of the guys groans.
“Josie, what the fuck is going on?” Coner whispers beside me, he grips my hand tightly, his eyes taking in the barely lit scene unfolding around us as Axel grabs one of the guys and Mason holds the other in place with telekinesis.
“I’ll explain soon,”
“”
“It seems we got three for the price of one,” Luke half laughs.
Theo approaches me and his eyes move to where Coner holds me. “Hi, I’m Theo,” he smiles and takes my wrist to lift my hand, he gently prys Coner’s fingers from me, “and if you have an ounce of self–preservation you’ll keep your hands off of our girl,” he says politely. His eyes move back to me and I see the pride behind them. “You are amazing,” he says before leaning in to kiss me on the cheek
“Is everyone okay?” Mr Collins asks as he finds us in the mass of panicked people.
“We got ourselves some people to interrogate,” Luke grins.
“Perfect. Let’s get out of here,” Mr Collins makes eye contact with me as if checking I’m really okay before he deals with the two men. He ensures they are here alone and then compels them to follow us without a fight or sound.
“Wait, I’m not here alone. I can’t go with you,” Coner protests as we begin to move.
“You will come with us calmly and quietly, without questioning anything,” Mr Collins says, the power washi~~ over Coner and making him relax instantly. We make it out of the club where people are gathering, searchin their friends that they’d lost in the dark.
“Coner!” a female shrieks, she runs at us her face awash with relief as she throws her arms around Coner. I know her. This is the girl I’d caught him cheating with, Molly. Her eyes land on me and I see the recognition there. She knows exactly who I am.

“Molls, I have to go with these, I’ll see you soon,” Coner says.
“What? No, you are not going anywhere with these people, especially not her,” She scowls at me.
“We do not have time for this,” Mr Collins sighs and steps towards Molly.
“Back off,” she snarls, clearly sensing Mr Collins‘ intent as her eyes flash blue.
“Shit,” Theo laughs..
“Make that four for the price of one,” Luke blows out an amused breath.
“Follow us calmly and quietly, question nothing,” Mr Collins uses the same compulsion on Molly and our group of ten walks quickly towards the library. Mr. Collins takes the lead with Axel and Mason shadowing the two men closely behind him, then Coner and Molly walk hand in hand behind them, with me, Theo and Luke taking up
the
rear.
I can’t believe this! What are the chances of me knowing two of the Greys hidden here? I don’t know Molly exactly, she’s just the girl who stole my boyfriend but still, it’s an insane coincidence.
“Luke, you know how you explained that bonds are naturally drawn to each other. Do you think Greys could be too?” I ask.
“How do you mean?”
“Well, there can’t be that many Greys here right, but at least three of us connected,” I motion towards Coner and Molly in front of us.
“You know her too?” he asks.
“We met once, it didn’t go well,” I scowl and his eyes widen at my expression. I notice Coner’s shoulders tense, he’s obviously listening to our conversation.
“Then it doesn’t seem you were drawn to her,” he laughs.
“I wasn’t but Coner certainly was,” I huff.
“Oh damn,” Theo curses, working out what I’m saying.
Coner turns and his eyes meet mine, I can see the guilt there. “Swan, I have no idea what is going on here but we need to talk, in private,” he says, his eyes glancing to Theo and Luke at my sides.
“You don’t owe her anything,” Molly says, tugging on Coner’s hand.
“Yes, Molls, I do,” Coner sighs.
“Can we save the reunion for later when we are safe,” Mr Collins calls from the front of the group as we reach the library doors. The assistant greets us with a smile and ushers us inside. We thank her and Mr Collins tells her to forget we were ever here and to go home and rest. “Back to my place,” Mr Collins tells Luke, who responds with a nod.
“Aren’t you going to put them to sleep for this?” I ask, motioning to Coner and Molly, knowing how awful this is going to be for them.
“Nope,” he grins deviously and I smirk át him. He’s letting me have some revenge for the way they hurt me. We teleport in two groups. Luke takes me, Theo, Coner and Molly. Whilst Mr Collins takes Axel, Mason and our two silent captives. The moment we arrive I grip the spot on my wrist, driving away the nausea almost instantly. Coner and Molly drop to the floor, retching and groaning as they curl into the fetal position at my feet. I grin in
