Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 0189 

“Look at them, pretending they’re not bothered that someone outside of their bond group knocked her up. How pathetic. I’d reject her and the sprog if that was me, there’s no way I’d be able to bring up a bastard child,” thear someone say and I recognise the voice. It’s the same guy that had tried to shame me on my first day here, Matt I think his name was. Mason releases me, Theo quickly stepping in to take his place. 

“Call my child a bastard again. I fucking dare you,” Masonrowls with fury and I turn to see Matt fighting to breathe as Mason has his throat in a telekinetic grip. A wet patch spreads down the leg of Matt’s pants and a few people laugh. Mason releases his grip with a disgusted sneer. Hissed whispers begin to spread across the hall and I spot Deacon striding towards us, anger written all over his face. He’s so damn hot. 

“What the hell is going on here?” Deacon demands and the room descends into a tense silence. 

“This piece of shit called my niece or nephew a bastard child and said the bond group should reject them both,” Dot spits with revulsion. Deacon’s eyes go wide and he looks down at Matt. 

“You know I can’t figure out if you have a death wish or are just incredibly stupid,” Deacon says. 

“He assaulted me, and he used his gift against me,” Matt whines, pointing a shaky finger at Mason. 

“Whilst that is against the academy rules I think his actions were warranted, in fact, I am impressed he kept so much control. Consider yourself lucky that the whole bond group didn’t react. Pack up your belongings, you are suspended for a week. I’ll call your parents to collect you,” Deacon chatsises. 

“You can’t do that!” Anna, Matt’s bond wails. 

“I can, and I did,” Deacon dismisses. 

“So you take the side of that whore and her misfit bonds over us? That’s unfair,” Anna shouts jabbing a finger in my direction 

“You are also suspended, Miss Earl, and if you ever insult my bond or our group again I will make it permanent!” D says in a low, angered tone and gasps sound out around the hall. “That goes for anyone else too. The rumours and the disrespect stop now. My bond group are to be treated with the same respect you show me. You are all adults and it’s about time you acted like it. You are all aware that the Spark bond has been activated and should understand what that means. Now is a time to unite, not tear each other apart with vile words. I suggest you all have your dinner and spend the evening working on your attitudes,” Deacon addresses the room and my heart swells with love for him. A few students clap and shout out their congratulations to Deacon before the chatter starts up again and students go back to their dinners. 

“Pack up your belongings and get out of my sight,” Deacon says as Anna helps Matt up off of the floor and they rush out of the dining hall with their heads hanging low. 

“Well, I guess the cats out of the bag now,” Theo whispers in amusement. 

Deacon strides towards me and brushes the hair from my face. “Are you okay?” he asks, his eyes searching mine. 

“I’m fine,” I smile reassuringly. 

He looks between our group and then around the hall as if making a decision. “Screw it, let’s get out of here,” he sighs and takes my hand. 

“Where are we going?” I ask as he leads me out of the hall, my other four bonds following closely behind. 

“Home, I’ll have food delivered,” he says, coming to a stop once we are out of the main hall. The guys huddle in and Deacon ports us out. I expect to arrive at the apartment but when the pool of Deacon’s mansion comes into view I realise what he meant. His home.

“Are we staying at your place tonight?” I ask. 

“Josie, this is our place, not mine. I know you like the apartinent but it’s D 

place to raise a child. Do you want to see your bedroom?” he grins.
