Chapter 0139
** Josie’s POV**
I try to reconnect with Mason but no matter how much I shout there’s no response. I wish I knew how it worked. Right now I feel like we are surfing radio channels on a walkie–talkie and hoping we both land on the same frequency at the same time. A rush of love pulses from Luke and I know he must be with Mason and Theo now.
I’m happy that I connected with Mason when I did, he might not know it but he was there the moment I confirmed I was carrying his child. If anyone should have been there then it was him. It makes me feel a little less guilty for keeping this hidden. I had wanted so desperately to tell him I loved him, but I’m pretty sure it would have made him uncomfortable. Plus when I do tell him, I want to be looking into his eyes.
I eat breakfast with D and Freya in stunned silence. There’s just so much to process.
“You kn
know I’ve got you, right? I’m going to be the best auntie to that little bean, and no matter what happens you. are not alone in this,” Freya says as we head back up to the room I share with Deacon. I smile at her calling it Little Bean. It reminds me of my parent’s nickname for me
“I know you will. I’m worried that I don’t know how the future looks for any of us. There’s just so much uncertainty right now,” I admit. “And I really want all my bonds. I miss them so much it hurts. I hate that I can’t tell them about the little bean,”
“I know it’s hard but it’s for everyone’s safety. Let’s focus on the here and now for the time being, we will take each day as it comes and not worry about the future too much just yet,” Deacon says as he unlocks our bedroom door and we go inside the gloomy room.
“Yeah, what he said,” Freya nudges me playfully. “This right now is the worst–case scenario, plus your
your mum is here and she might not know she’s your mum but she still has her mother’s intuition. She asked me two days ago if you were pregnant, she still cares about you,”
I smile at Freya, not wanting to offend her with the truth because I love her and my mum dearly, but she can’t possibly understand what it is like to be separated from my bonds. This is not just missing my boyfriends or having my heart broken. It’s like a physical part of me has been carved out, leaving a gaping wound which is slowly bleeding out. They are a part of my soul, connected in ways I have no words to explain to someone who will never experience this. Love is not a big enough word, it goes way beyond love.
“I’m so happy to have you and my mum in my life, but I need my bonds too. I can’t just sit around waiting to find a way to get back to them. I need to be doing something,” I sigh and move to the window. I open the curtains and stare out at the view. I can’t see the beach from here but there is a nice view of the town.
“We have plenty to do, starting with getting supplies and a more suitable place to stay,” Deacon says.
“What’s wrong with this place?” Freya asks.
“I’d just prefer somewhere more private, especially whilst we work out this telepathic connection. I don’t want to risk drawing any further attention to us because Josie looks as though she is talking to herself. It is already a risk without our glasses,
“What glasses?” Freya questions.
“We wear modified glasses that stop humans from being able to see the power illuminate in our eyes. It’s hard to control the flare,” he explains.
“I’ve seen Jo do that for years. I thought it was just how her strange eye colour reflected light. Now I think about it though it has been getting more intense recently. I feel so stupid for never questioning it,”

“It’s barely noticeable until our powers fully come in, which is after 18. That’s how she has managed to pass as a human for so long.”
“So you all have the same eye colour?”
“Yes, although many humans have a very similar colour so it is not easy to identify a Grey from eye colour alone,”
I zone out as Freya bombards Deacon with questions a strange calmness washes over me and it takes me at moment to realise it’s Luke, Mason and Theo that I can feel
“Josie, come sit on the bed,” Deacon startles me, guiding me to the bed. “I think they’re trying to connect with you through meditation, I suspect June is guiding them, we should try to follow suit,” he adds. I nod and quickly climb up onto the bed.
“Come get me when you’re done,” Freya whispers before slipping out of the door.
