Chapter 0149
Josie’s POV **
The next two weeks are spent searching the realm for broken portals. It’s not easy because the world is so large and we can’t just port openly like we can in the Greys realm Each place we visit has to be carefully planned out to make sure we don’t port into the middle of a group of unsuspecting humans. After another morning of finding nothing I’m starting to give up hope of us being any help.
“Cheer up, Baby Girl, we are making good progress here,” Theo reassures through our mental connection.
“I hate this, Theo, I hate it so much. I want to see you, I want to feel you,” I cry.
“I know. I want to see you too. I want to kiss you everywhere. When I finally get you in my arms I dont think I’ll ever be able to let you go again,” he says.
“How are things with you and Mason?” I ask.
“Not great, he’s not interested in any kind of intimacy with me. His sole focus is getting these portals open and teaching me, Luke and Axel to help. He keeps losing his temper with us because we are not learning fast enough,
“How about Axel, how is he doing now?”
“He’s as okay as he can be I guess. He is as focused as Mace but he is getting frustrated with himself a lot. We are just so desperate to get you home, especially before your heat makes an appearance,”
“Don’t worry about my heat, Deacon can deal with it. We will be fine,” I try to reassure. I hate lying to him, especially when it’s causing him concern but I know the alternative would be worse for him.
“How can we not worry about it? It’s been four weeks for you. It’s coming soon and the only way Deacon will be able to sate it on his own is to get you pregnant. Then things are going to be even more dire for us all. Luke is already on the verge of porting there. It’s hard enough as it is, there’s no way we’d be able to stay here knowing you were carrying our child,” he says and my heart drops.
“We have a plan for that,” I lie, “D will compel me to sleep until it passes or until we are reunited,”
“So he will just put you into a coma until we can get you back? What if it’s years, Jose?”
“Let’s worry about all that if it happens, we have enough to deal with right now without worrying about what–ifs, besides, you said you are making good progress there so I should be back with you soon, right?” I say and he’s silent for a moment.
“Yeah,” he finally says and I can feel how unsure he is. I think he may have exaggerated their progress. I can also feel how tired he is. They are all wearing themselves out and I hate it. I’m scared to see what I’m going to come
back to.
“Are you all eating enough?” I ask.
“Mace isn’t, he’s not looking great, Jose, I’m worried about him. He barely takes a break or looks after himself,” he admits, confirming what I’d suspected.
“I’ll try to talk with him. Get Dot to boss him around a bit too, I think he listens to her,”
“They’re not on good terms at the minute. She is trying to convince him to talk with their mum, but he’s not interested,” he says.
“I can’t say I blame him. I’ll see what I can do to get through to him. In the meantime, you make sure you’re

looking after yourself. I’m going to need you in full health when I get back, we have a lot of catching up to do,” I tease, trying to lift his mood.
“You are the one that needs to be at full health. You have four of us here to catch up with,” he laughs.
“R.I.P. my pussy,” I snort.
“We will take good care of her, don’t you worry,” he hums,
“You should try and sleep, it’s late there,” I tell him.
“I will, can you talk to me until I fall asleep?” he asks.
“Of course,” I smile, and for the next twenty minutes, I talk to him about a book I had just finished reading whilst I prepare a casserole for tonight’s dinner. I feel the moment he drifts off to sleep and although I’m sure he can’t hear me I wish him sweet dreams and tell him I love him. I check in on the rest of my bonds. Axel and Luke are already sleeping. Mason and Deacon are excited about something and I assume they’re communicating with each other.
“What’s going on?” I ask, focusing my words on D and Mason.
“I’m coming to pick you up in 10 minutes, I’ll explain then but we have work snacks and drinks for us both,” Deacon responds quickly.
to do. Dress warm and pack some
‘Okay,” I rush to add some extra layers to my outfit and abandon the casserole I was preparing to make some cheese and ham sandwiches instead. I also pack some fruit, crackers and cereal bars along with some bottled water and a flask of hot tea.
“Ready?” Deacon asks from behind me, making me squeak in fright
“Give a girl some warning will you,” I breathe, clutching my chest.
“Sorry,” he says but I can feel his amusement.
“What’s wrong?” Mason’s concerned voice sounds in my head.
“Nothing, D startled me. Sorry,” I laugh. “Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
“I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” Mason grunts.
“Which will be soon if you don’t start taking care of yourself. When was the last time you ate?”
“Is that really what you want to talk about? Because I’d rather focus on getting you home, my calorie intake is not a priority right now,” he snaps. Deacon gives me a sympathetic smile and wraps his arms around me.
“I’d like to have some of you left to come back to,” I murmur out loud. I know it’s pointless trying to get through to him whilst he’s in this mood so I let it go.
“Are we fixing this damn portal or not?” Mason asks and I look up at D with wide eyes.
“You found one?”
stou
“I did, and it is in the perfect location for us to work there undisturbed. Mason is going to teach us how to fix it, let’s go,” Deacon grins, excitement pouring from him. I grab the bag I’d prepared and let D port us to our first glimmer of hope.
