Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 0192 

**Josie’s POV** 

Yesterday Deacon had cleared Coner of all suspicion, which brought a huge wave of relief for everyone, especially Sunny. I didn’t get the chance to see Coner whilst he was here, as I was too busy being distracted by my men in the most pleasurable way. The afternoon that followed had bee promising, filled with brainstorming sessions to tackle the issues in the human realm. We’re gearing up for straightforward plan, find Cornelius, arrest him, and bring him back here where he can be locked away for good. With him out of the way, rounding up the remaining rogues should become more manageable, allowing our human relations team to step in and work on re- establishing a new treaty with the leaders of the human world. I discovered that these leaders have known about our existence for centuries, and we had an agreement that we would not cause harm and would assist them in times of need. Unfortunately, that pact had been shattered by the rogue faction, but Deacon still holds onto hope that we can repair the damage and establish a new, adapted treaty with them. 

Today, we are heading back to our cottage in the human realm to gather our belongings and check on Freya, who must be going insane with worry. We’re all going together, ust in case we encounter any unexpected challenges and somehow get stuck there. We are not leaving anything to chance. The uncertainty of what lies ahead is palpable, and I can’t shake the feeling that a key moment is approaching for all of us. 

The moment we arrive I rush to the bedroom in search of my phone, which is still plugged into the charger on the bedside table. I don’t miss the fact that I had ported without the after–effects of nausea again. I hope that means I’m finally getting used to it because that feeling sucks ass and I certainly won’t miss it. 

“I’ll make you some of that awful tea,” Luke calls as I sit on the bed checking the messages I’d missed from Freya. Theo sits next to me, whilst Mason and Axel stand near the door. I can already hear Deacon making calls to his human contacts. 

“Thank you,” I shout back to Luke, not especially looking forward to the taste of it but after the amount of vomiting I’d suffered this morning I welcome the relief it might provide. 

I call Freya and she answers almost immediately. 

“Bitch, I swear there better be a damn good reason you have been ghosting me for over 24 hours, and being dicknotised doesn’t count!” she shouts into the phone making me laugh. 

“Sorry, long story,” I breathe. 

“Dicknotised? I like it,” Theo laughs. 

“Who said that?” Freya demands. 

“That was Theo,” I grin. 

“Shut the front door!” she gasps, “They made it through? When did this happen?” 

I quickly explain what had happened and how we had been reunited and Freya listens intently. 

“This is great news! So are you all here to kick Cornelius McCreepy’s ass?” she asks excitedly. 

“Not quite, but we have been planning. We are here to pick up some stuff and to see you. Deacon has some business to deal with whilst we are here, including acquiring some tech to reconnect our realm with yours. If you are free Luke can come to pick you up,” I say hopefully. 

‘Sure, but I need to be back by 7 as I’m working a late shift. Have him pick me up at the usual spot in 20 minutes,” she agrees before ending the call.

1 pass the time sipping the terrible tea whilst showing Masen and Theo around what had been my home for part of the time we had been separated. Luke arrives with Freya and once the nausea passes and she is able to focus she stares open–mouthed at Theo and Mason. I pull her into a hug 

“How is this even fair? There’s not even one slightly ugly one. When you said they were hot too I thought you must be looking through rose–tinted glasses because there’s no way you not only have 5 boyfriends but all of them look like they walked out of the beautiful men section of the Cosmo mag! It’s a good job they’re all taken because otherwise, I think I’d turn straight after an hour in room with these 5. No wonder you got pregnant, your ovaries have been going into overdrive surrounded by these men!” she whispers as we hug 

“What are rose–tinted glasses and Cosmo?” Theo asks and Freya stiffens. 

“You’ve really got to stop complimenting us so loudly,” Luke laughs, making Axel chuckle too. 

“Shit, sorry, I forgot about the super hearing,” she cringes as she releases me. She plasters a smile on her face before she moves around me to greet Theo and Mason. 

“Rose–tinted glasses is an analogy for someone seeing a person differently because they’re in love with them. Cosmo is a magazine full of beautiful people. Sorry, you heard that. It’s nice to finally meet you,” she smiles. Theo holds out a hand to shake and she takes it, “I’m Theo, thank you for taking care of our girl when we couldn’t. I see now how she was able to get through those first weeks” he compliments. 

“No need to thank me, I’ll always be here for her and now the little bean too,” Freya tells him before shifting her attention to Mason, who looks slightly amused.
