Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 0167 

**Josie’s POV ** 

I walk back to the living room with Axel following close behind me like my shadow. I unlock my phone and hit call on Freya’s contact information. The phone rings once before her frantic voice answers. 

“Shit, Jo, this is bad, real bad,” she breathes down the phone. 

“I know, I don’t know how we are going to fix this. It’s not just the rouge Greys we are against now, it’s the whole damn world,” I sigh. 

“Not the whole world. I know the truth, and Deacon has contacts, right?” she says. 

“Yes, but a handful of humans and four Greys are powerless against that number,” 

“Then we better get to work. I’m on my way to your old place. Have your man come pick me up,” she sounds far too chipper for the situation. I glance over at Deacon who looks lost in thought. A small frown marring his face. I suspect he’s still communicating with the other realm via Mason and Theo. 

“He’s a little busy at the moment,” I tell her, leaving the room so I don’t distract D. I head into the kitchen where Luke is removing the teabag from a steaming cup. 

“Okay, I’ll wait at yours, just have him come for me as soon as possible,” 

“I can go and pick her up,” Luke volunteers, obviously overhearing our conversation. 

“Luke says he can come for you,” I say down the phone. 

“Okay, cool. Give me twenty minutes. I’m stopping off at the shop to get a few supplies. Do you need anything?” she asks. 

“Not unless they stock time machines,” I sigh. 

“Doubt it, but I’ll check. See you soon,” she says before the line goes dead. I have no idea what her master plan could be. The damage is already done. Cornelius just outed our kind to the entire world and made us the enemy but I trust my bestie and if she has a plan then I’m all ears. What’s the worst that could happen? 

I text Frank and ask how my mum is. I’m not sure if she has seen the news yet but there’s no doubt she will see it eventually, and a story this big will be impossible to hide from her. I just hope it doesn’t trigger anything for her. Frank responds quickly, letting me know she seems fine, just shocked as expected. I blow out a relieved breath. and tell him to contact me or Deacon if anything changes. Luke leaves to collect Freya and returns moments later with an arm wrapped around my best friend and a large suitcase and bag in another. I rush towards them, grabbing Freya’s wrist to help the nausea pass whilst Luke helps her stay on her feet. 

“Are you moving in?” I ask nervously, eyeing her luggage. 

“Move into the sex den?… hell no,” she responds once she can support her own weight. Luke and Axel chuckle and I shoot them both annoyed looks. 

“It’s not a sex den,” I roll my eyes.. 

“Why not? Girl, you should be at it like rabbits. All these men ready to please you whenever you like. Are you insane? Plus you should get it as much as you can before the Little Bean arrives because I doubt you’ll have much time after that,” she laughs, crouching down to unzip her suitcase. 

“I agree,” Luke grins.
