“I did, I knew it would happen,” I reassure him. “Theo told me that I’d need to have sex with my bonds to become bonded, I just wasn’t sure if that inchided any type of sex,
“It’s not so much the sex but the act of Intimacy and most importantly, ejaculation,” Luke explains.
“Understood,” I nod, “but what about contraception? Does that affect it? Shit, Luke, we didn’t use any,” t suddenly remember. How could I have been so stupid?
“Contra… what?” he gives me an utterly puzzled look.
“You know, like condoms,” I say awkwardly.
“What is that?
“Oh good lord, of course, you don’t have contraception, shii. I’m not ready for this, not yet,” I panic.
“What’s wrong?” Mr Collins‘ voice calls from behind us. Fuck my life.
“Nothing, everything is fine,” I mutter, not turning to look at him.
“I got a message that you needed me,” he says, sounding slightly out of breath. I turn in his direction but don’t look directly at him. Focussing on the floor by his feet instead.
“Sorry, Sir, I thought she was getting hysterical again but it was a false alarm,” Thoe explains. I want to know which traitor it was that messaged him. I bet it was fucking Mason.
“Well as you can see I’m fine, no mind voodoo needed. Now if you don’t mind, I was mid freak out when you rudely interrupted, I’d like to get back to that,” I turn back and continue walking-
“So where were we?” Luke laughs.
“Oh yes, contraception. How do we deal with this? I’m not ready to be a mother yet,
“You’re pregnant?” Deacon almost roars the question from behind me.
“Why are you still here?” I snap, turning to face him.

“Are you pregnant?” he demands, taking a stride towards me before he stops himself. I make the mistake of looking at his face, catching his eyes flash blue as they focus on my abdomen.
“No, well, I don’t think so. I’m trying to find out how you prevent unwanted pregnancy in this realm, but you keep interrupting me,” I huff, tearing my eyes from his stupidly handsome face.
“There’s no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy here,”
“Fine, let me rephrase, unplanned pregnancy. How do you stop women from becoming pregnant before they’re ready?” I ask, irritation clear in my voice.
“Our males don’t usually fully mature until 25. It’s very rare to happen before that age, so rare that it’s not considered a concern. It’s never happened in my lifetime,” he explains.
“Good, so everyone is shooting blanks, that’s all I needed to know. Thank you,” I say and turn to continue our walk, only to be met by all the eyes of my bonds on me. They look like they’ve all just had an epiphany.
“What’s wrong?” I frown.
“Nothing,” Theo smiles, “you just have such a way with words that it takes us a moment to work out what you’re saying.”

I don’t miss the slight nods they each give Deacon before we finish the rest of our walk to the river. Did he really earn their respect for turning up to brainwash me when they called, isn’t that his job? Or maybe it was because he explained how none of them are fertile without them having to say it themselves.
“Right, everyone strip off and get in the water,” Noel announces when we reach the river. I examine it suspiciously. It looks clear and slow–moving, I can just about see the bottom so I don’t think it’s too deep.
“Do you have any dangerous creatures in there that I should know about?” I ask
“No, stop stalling and get in,” Noel snorts. The guys are already striping off and damn, I got really lucky in the bond body department. It’s just a shame not all of them have a personality to match. I pull my eyes from them before I start drooling and remove my uniform. By the time I’m out of my clothes, the guys are already in the water. They all watch intently as I walk in.
“Holy shit,” I squeal when the bite of the icy water touches my feet.
“Come here, I’ll keep you warm,” Luke holds out a hand to me. I take it and he pulls me down into the water.
are touching There better be a damn good reason for this torture. Noel instructs us to huddle together until we The guys form a circle around me until my skin is touching all of theirs. I look towards the bank for Noel, waiting for his next instruction but instead, my eyes find Deacon’s He’s followed us. Heat floods my body. Warming me instantly, I gasp at the sensation. Then dread fills me as I feel the presence of something else within me. My wolf.
