Chapter 0179
“I hear you, with my cars. How do I hear you?” Luke gasps.
“Because I’m destroying this forsaken place,” I tell him through clenched teeth as I push the darkness away. I place lights on the ceiling and suddenly my vision comes to light as a nondescript hallway reveals itself around us. It’s the most beautiful boring sight I ever did see.
“Holy fuck! Do you see this or am I hallucinating again?” Axel exclaims.
“I see it. Josie, you absolute legend!” Luke cries. “You created another realm!”
I almost collapse from exhaustion as the last of the darkness seeps away but I’m not done yet. I dissolve the binds that tie me to Luke and turn quickly to scan the corridor. That’s when I see him. My brave, selfless bond. He’s curled in the fetal position on the floor and he looks spent. run to him, dropping to my knees beside him.
“Deacon, I’m here, I’ve got you,” I gently push him onto his back and brush the hair from his face. His eyes flutter open and he blinks at me in confusion. “Hey,” I smile at him as happy tears roll down my face.
“Josie?” he croaks.
“Yes, it’s me, I’m real,” I take his hand and lift it to my chest, letting him feel my heart beating in sync with his.
Axel and Luke come up behind me and his eyes flick to them before he scans his surroundings.
“You gave us quite the scare,” Luke half laughs.
“Are we
“Not
e dead?” Deacon asks, pushing himself into a sitting position.
“Not this time, but it was close,” Axel breathes.
“Where are we?” Dasks.
“The new and improved void. Our girl wasn’t too keen on the decor so she made some minor adjustments,” Luke
snorts.
“This is the void?” Deacon asks in disbelief, taking in our surroundings once again.
“Yes,” I nod and smile at the wonder in his eyes.
He pulls me onto his lap. Holding me against him. “Thank you. I should probably be mad that you attempted to come for me, but I never should have doubted you. You are incredible,” he says before stealing my breath with a searing kiss.
“And I should be mad you left me but I’m just happy we found you in time. From now on we do everything as a team. No more secrets or hiding things from each other. It makes us weaker. Now let’s go home and let Theo and Mason know they’re going to be Dads,” I smile. Excitement at the thought of finally being able to see them and touch them courses through me, pushing away my exhaustion. Luke helps me to my feet and Axel grabs Deacon, pulling him up and into a typical bro hug.
“Thank you,
all of you for coming for me. Now let’s find a way out of here and go home,” Deacon gives an exhausted smile and pulls open one of the doors, “It’s fixed,” he grins.
Ready?” Luke asks pulling me into his side and reaching out to grab a hold of D, who is still being slightly supported by Axe.
“Yes,” I nod and Luke ports us to our apartment.
The nausea barely registers and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m so relieved to be home or because I’m just getting

used to porting. The apartment is silent and I worry Theo and Mason aren’t here but then I hear someone moving In my bedroom.
“There had better be some cheese in this place, I’m starving,” I call loudly, moving out of Luke’s hold to get a better view of my bedroom door. The door flies open and To’s shocked face looks at me. He stands frozen in the doorway, he looks at us as if he can’t quite believe what he is seeing.
“Am I dreaming?” he asks and I run towards him. I throw myself at him and he catches me just in time wrapping his arms around me as my legs wrap around his waist.
“Does this feel like a dream?” I ask before planting my mouth on his in a kiss that speaks a thousand words.
