Gripping Molly’s upper arm I march her back to my office. She has tried to run away from me twice already, although I’ve no idea where she thinks she’s going to go. She curses me out the whole way but I can’t risk leaving her in the academy without getting her compulsion ability under control. When I’d felt her words trying to probe at my mind I had been in shock. She has great potential to be very powerful in the compulsion field. I need to isolate her while she has intense training in this fieild. I’d be the best one to train her on this, there’s no one more powerful in compulsion than me in this realm, and if it was anyone else I’d probably take her to stay at my house and train her there, but her history with Josie complicates things. My bond is my priority, she comes above all else, even the academy and my students and I know it would hurt her to know I had Molly at my home, at her future home. Plus I have enough on my plate at the moment without taking on Molly’s training too.
“Sit,” I tell her, motioning to the couch in my office. She does, but she makes sure I’m aware of how unhappy she is about it. She acts like a petulant teenager, she’s nothing like my bond despite them being the same age. I move around my desk, removing my suit jacket and rolling up my shirt sleeves, I can’t work on my computer unless my arms are free, the shirt and jacket feel too restricting. Sending a quick email to Noel I request him to come to my office. He can work with Molly this week. I also send an email to Sunny and her bonds, Damien and Sebastian, dismissing them from the morning classes to help Coner settle. I ask them to remain in the dining hall until Clarrisa arrives with Coner’s dorm key. Once I’ve dealt with Molly I’ll need to check Coner for compulsion, I hate to think how much she has subjected him to. How many choices he’s had taken from him? A pang of guilt creeps
I have up on me, because isn’t that what I’m doing to my bond? I attempt to push the nagging feeling away, good reason for doing it, it’s for her benefit, yet the guilt still gnaws at my conscience. How long can I justify doing this? I keep telling myself that I have to be cruel to be kind, but is this truly a kindness? It doesn’t feel like it sometimes.
“Are you even listening to me? Molly demands obnoxiously

“Nope, to be honest, I didn’t hear a word,” I admit without even glancing her way. If she is looking for attention then she is going to be severely disappointed.
“Return me back to my home, you don’t want me here and don’t want to be here. It’s a win–win situation,” she tries to bargain.
“Good idea, there are a few places I’ve been meaning to visit in the human realm and I’ve always wanted to see the Alaskan mountains, I can drop you off there whilst I’m going if you like?” I suggest whilst texting Mason to ask how Josie is and if she needs anything. I realise it’s barely been an hour since we parted but I can’t stop thinking of her. I want to give her everything I can, even if she doesn’t know it’s me providing everything for her it helps me to feel involved in her care. That I’m at least doing my part in some way.
“Why there? Isn’t it cold and deserted?” Molly asks.
“Yes, very. It’s the perfect place for a Grey with an out–of–control compulsion gift. Tell me, Miss Andrews, were you aware you could manipulate other people’s minds? I suggest you do not lie, I have the ability to get the truth from you,” I finally look at her. She seems a little panicked and unsure if I’m telling the truth.
