Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 0166 

** Josie’s POV** 

I’m not done talking with Axel and I’m still pissed at all of my bonds but something big is happening 

“Freya called. She said this all over the news and she saw the Internet that other countries are reporting they’re also on standby to receive an announcement from their leaders. Rumours are going wild with people saying it is aliens or a meteor,” Deacon explains, gesturing to the TV. The camera is a live feed of a wooden lectern with a microphone on the top and the United Kingdom’s coat of arms displayed on a plaque on the front. I’ve not seen anything like this since the coronavirus outbreak. Axel walle in behind me and we all wait in silence for the Prime Minister to address the nation. I have a bad feeling about this. The Prime Minister finally walks into the camera shot, he walks with his head held high and an air of authority about him as he approaches the lectern. 

“My fellow citizens of the United Kingdom,” he begins, his voice is steady and eerily calm, his eyes lock on the camera as if he’s staring right at me. “Today, I stand before you as a humble servant of a greater truth, one that we have all been blind to for far too long. For centuries, we have relied on fractured ideologies, outdated beliefs, and the selfish pursuit of power. Now the time has come to unite under one true purpose and cast aside the divisions that have plagued the world. We must embrace the spiritual path of a new order.” 

The camera zooms out, showing the Prime Minister in a large hall. Behind him is a massive symbol. One that. looks very familiar as I take it the four coloured stones. Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire and Amber. 

“Shit,” Luke curses. 

“This new path is not a political movement, nor is it a social experiment. It is a divine revelation. We are no longer Individuals, but part of a collective, bound together by a higher power. The world as we know it is not all black and white because hidden away for far too long there are many shades of grey. The Grey Path is the truth. The truth is that we have been chosen to spread across this world, to heal it, and to guide it toward enlightenment. This is not a choice, it is a calling. Each and every one of us has been chosen to step into the light of the Grey Path and bring peace to the realm. We will no longer struggle with the chads of the world, for the Grey Path will cleanse us of fear, doubt, and division. We are all part of the whole, and in this unity, we will find our true strength.” 

The Prime Minister pauses, looking to his right before giving a subtle nod to someone off–camera before looking back down the lens. 

“I know many of you will have questions. You may wonder why this is necessary, why this change is so sudden. But I assure you, the path we’ve been on is leading us to destruction. Our previous ways, our divided ideologies, have only brought suffering. The Grey Path is the key to a brighter future. A future where peace reigns and resources are shared. But it requires your commitment. It requires your faith. I would now like to introduce you to Cornelius Grey. Cornelius and his team will be working closely with our government and other leaders from around the world. What you are about to see is not trickery, assure you no special effects are being used,” the Prime Minister look to his right again and the camera pans around in the same direction. I gasp when a huge black wolf saunters forward, his blue eyes look into the camera with too much knowledge to mistake him for anything but a Grey. 

“Holy fuck,” Luke says. 

More wolves move to stand behind the first one and then, on live TV, for the whole world to see he shifts into his human form. 

“There’s no fixing this,” Deacon shakes his head and begins pacing the room. 

“I feel sick,” I cover my mouth and run to the bathroom as vomit begins to rise from my stomach. I make it to the toilet just in time. I sense Axel come up behind me and gather my hair to keep it out of the line of fire. I try to shoo

him away but he ignores me, rubbing soothing circles on my back. I don’t want him to see me like this. He already thinks I’m too weak to be a part of this fight.. 

“I’m here to support you, through the good and the bad. You are not in this alone,” he says softly.
