Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 0018 

The tutor ushers into an empty classroom and closes the door behind her. The moment the door closes her whole demeanour changes and she flings her arms around Luke. I stare wide–eyed wondering what on earth is going on 

here. 

“Oh my goodness, Luke, you found your bond?” she asks excitedly. 

“It’s complicated, the seer hasn’t been yet but it’s unlikely, she and Theo felt The Spark, we didn’t,” he shrugs. 

“That doesn’t mean anything, if it’s true, The Spark only triggers in order of the original bonding,” she reaches up and scruffs his hair. 

“Um, sorry to interrupt but what is going on?” I ask. 

“Sorry, how rude of me. I’m Alice, Luke’s sister,” she grins holding a hand out to shake. I take the offered hand, I’m Josie, 

“Why didn’t you mention our tutor was your sister?” I ask Luke accusingly. 

“Because it is a secret, only the staff know, 

“Why is it a secret?” I frown. 

“We don’t want other students to know or they’d accuse me of giving him preferential treatment. It’s just easier to keep it this way, plus I get to give him a hard time and he can’t do anything about it or I give him detention, she waggles her eyebrows and Luke snorts, folding his arms over his chest. Something about the action makes him seem hotter as the fabric of his shirt stretches taut over his forearms. 

“Then why are you telling me?” I ask, pulling my eyes from Luke’s arms. Since when did I develop an arm fetish? 

“Because you’re going to be family, I think you’d notice me at our Sunday family dinner. You’re coming this weekend, right?” she asks excitedly. 

“Calm down, Sis, let’s take a step back,” Luke laughs. 

“It’s true, I can see it,” she grins. 

“Alice thinks she has a minor seer ability,” Luke explains as Alice studies me, squinting slightly. 

“I do, I’m sensing four… no five bonds,” she nods and I gape at her. 

“Five? What the hell does one woman do with five men, ” I scoff. 

“She gets creative,” Alice shakes her hips, “I better warn Mum we need more chairs,” she adds, taking out her phone. 

“Alice stop,” Luke puts a hand on her phone, stopping her. “Let’s wait for the seer before you get too excited. We better get back, you have a class to teach remember?” 

“Oh shit, you’re right. Okay, make yourselves look miserable like I’ve just given you the biggest bollocking,” she says, her expression turning serious. Damn, she’s a good actor. I plaster a frown on my face and follow them back 

to class. 

“Okay class, this is what is going to happen. Choose one of your questions to ask Miss Banks, if yours gets asked before it gets to your turn then choose another from your list. Miss Banks will answer your question and then ask you one in return. Does everyone understand?” Alice asks the class. Sounds of agreement spread throughout the
