Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 0257 

**Deacon’s POV ** 

1 can’t help but grin at Axel as he hacks away from the woman with a gemine look of fear on hite face. The guy is huge, and he will fight pretty much anything that stands Female was attacking losie or one of the kids, he wouldn’t and that is what scares him. I think he is scared he will hurt but it’s still funny to see. 

de way, apart from women. I do not doubt if the sitate to deal with her, but she is in threat to anyone, her, rather than scared of what she could do to him, 

“Hello, my name is Deacon,” I say, getting the woman’s antion as I approach the small tent in the corner. 

She looks up at me with wild blue eyes. Her hair is a mousy brown colour and is a tangled mess of knots. If she is indeed Myles’s bond, she is going to need some help to adapt to the new world she is about to find herself in 

“What do you want?” she snaps. 

“Calm down and do as I say,” I tell her, infusing my compulsion gift into my words. Her body relaxes instantly as she falls under my control. 

“What is your name?” 1 ask her. 

“Amelie, but people call me Lee,” she says. 

“That’s a beautiful name,” I smile. “How much do you know about Greys?” I ask. 

“They’re the superhero wannabes, right?” 

“Not exactly, but close enough. Do you think you could be one?” I ask her. 

“Do I look like one?” she snorts a laugh. 

“Well, you have the right eye colour, but I don’t sense any power from you. That could be due to whatever substances you have been subjecting your body to. Please follow me outside. I have some people I’d like you to meet,” 1 instruct 

Amelie crawls out of the tent and gets to her feet. She is slightly shorter than Josie and even with her baggy clothes it’s obvious she is underweight. I walk back through the messy house with Amelie behind me and Axel behind her. 

“How old are you?” I ask her as we step over a sleeping man. 

“18, or maybe 19, I’m not sure. What month is it?” 

“It’s March the 2nd,” Axel answers. 

“I wasn’t asking you, Steve,” she huffs. “I’m 19 next week 

Myles is 20 and one of my highly gifted students, specialising in an empathetic gift with a strong affinity for combat. He will make a good match for Amelie, I think. 

“I told you my name is Axel, not Steve,” Axe grumbles. 

“You look like a Steve to me,” she teases, and I smile. This girl has some attitude that reminds me of a younger Josie. 

When we step out of the stale–smelling house, my eyes land on Myles, but he only has eyes for Amelie. He doesn’t look at her in disgust or disappointment, he looks at her with fierce protectiveness and hope, like his whole world

is right here in this small woman. Sage nods, confirming Amelle Is Myles‘ bond and then her eyes bleed into their usual blue colour 

“Amelic, this is Myles,” I say as 1 look back at Amelle. Her eyes are locked on Myles as if she can sense the connection between them. 

“HI, Amelie. I’m very pleased to meet you,” Myles grins, stepping forward and holding out a hand to her. 

Amelie looks at me with caution and I nod at her, encouraging her to take Myles’s hand. She reaches out and places her dainty hand in Myles‘, a smile spreading over her face as they touch. 

“Do you have any possessions in the house that are of great importance to you?” I ask.
