Josie is incredible! She was able to fix a portal in seconds with practically no experience with a molecular gift. Mason has had a whole team working for a month to accomplish that. Our bond group is bursting with pride and excitement, which is great, but they’re letting those feelings overshadow any logical thinking. If we want to bring Josie and Deacon home anytime soon then we need Josie in he vold, fixing the portal from that side. I fully believe she can do it, but I doubt any of the others are willing to risk attempting it. That’s why I’m going to port through to the human realm. If I can prove that I can get there safely with this portal now fixed, then I think they’ll consider attempting to bring losie through. I cant tell any of the others my plan. Mason, Theo and Axel will either try to stop me or they’ll insist I bring them with me, which makes it more difficult. There’s a soft knock on my door before it slowly opens, Axel pokes his head in.
“Hey, I was wondering if you wanted a coffee to celebrate,” he smiles meekly.
“Sure, do you know how to use the machine?” I ask, sitting up in my bed. I think I’d had two hours of sleep but there’s no chance of going back to sleep now.
“No, I was hoping you could teach me though. Then I can make it for Josie when she comes home,” he says quietly, his eyes not meeting mine. His confidence has taken a hit since we lost Josie. He had been slowly coming out of his shell since he bonded with her but now he’s almost back to his pre–bonded self. It doesn’t help that he spent so much time stuck in his wolf form.
“Of course, let me grab a quick shower,” I nod
Ten minutes later I’m in the kitchen teaching Axe how to make coffee like a human barista.
“How did you learn this?” he asks.
“I applied for a job in a coffee shop in the human realm. I had no intention of taking the job but it came with a day, of training so I turned up for that and then I worked there for two days before I never returned,” I laugh.
“Why did you work there for two days?”
“It was my way of making myself feel less guilty for the training, I left before they could pay me so I feel like it was a good trade,” I shrug.
“It’s funny that you have been so interested in the human way of life and that you end up bonded to someone who grew up as a human. It’s as if fate was preparing you for her,” he says as steams the milk the way I’d had just shown him.
“I don’t think anything could have prepared me for her. She fascinates me in a way I never expected, and it’s not Just because of the way she was raised. I could spend the rest of my life just watching her and never get bored,” I smile at the thought of her.
“I want to come with you,” Axel says abruptly.
“What do you mean?” I ask, trying my best to keep my emotions under control and my face neutral.
“You are planning to go to her. I want to come,” he shrugs like it’s no big deal.
“I’m not. We all agreed it’s too dangerous,” I lie and Axel turns to face me with a scrutinizing stare.
“Yes, you are, and I’m coming too,” he crosses his arms across his chest, Shy Axel is long gone right now. This is Axe, the badass warrior who is staring at me with determination at the idea of being reunited with his bond.

“You know it’s not safe, I might lose you in the vold,” I say in defeat, there is no point trying to lie to him any longer.
