**Josie’s POV** 

Luke is nervous, despite his brave face, I can feel it through the bond. I want to talk to him about it, to tell him how proud and grateful we all are that he is willing to do this for our daughter, but I know he would be offended by that because I would be if any of my guys thanked me for trying to find my own daughter. As far as he is concerned, finding Harper, no matter the cost is his responsibility as much as it is mine. 

When we go downstairs after showering, my mum is already in the kitchen cooking up a feast. 

“That smells amazing,” Theo groans as the smell of bacon engulfs us. 

“I’m suddenly starving.” Axel says as he jumps straight into action to help, getting plates from the cupboard and setting the table. 

“Good morning, Mum. Thanks for doing this,” I gesture to the food she has prepared. 

“Good morning. There’s no need to thank me. I need to help, and if that’s the only skill I can offer, then so be it. At least I feel like I’m doing something to contribute,” she smiles. 

“Mum, just your presence is enough. You don’t have to do anything to prove yourself as helpful,” I reassure, hating that she feels useless because she doesn’t have gifts like the rest of us. 

“I know, Dear, but it helps me feel a part of the team. Besides, you all need to eat, so someone has to do it, and I’m happy to take the role.” 

“Okay,” I nod. “Is Robert up yet?” I ask. 

“Yes, he’s out the back drinking tea. You’d think he hadn’t seen the sun for years by the way he was desperate to get out there,” She comments, and I just shrug. I don’t think it’s wise to tell her where he has been all these years and why. 

The guys are busy helping my mum and Luke is making us coffee, so I step outside to join Robert on the patio. 

“How are you feeling?” I ask as I take a seat beside him. 

“Better than I have felt in years,” he smiles, 

“Any signs of your gifts returning yet?” I ask. 

“Yes, I feel them building within me. I should be at full strength soon,” he nods. 

“How did you find out you had the tumour? You must have had symptoms for someone to check for it.” 

“Headaches mostly. They became increasingly worse. Sometimes I lose my eyesight, but I’m used to it now. I can 

cope 

most of the time. I think breathing fresh air helps,” he explains, drawing in a deep breath.

“Let me see if I can help at all. There’s no need for you to suffer if we can stop it,” I offer, moving closer to him and holding my hand up to his head. He gives me a nod and call up my healing light, pouring it into him where he 

needs it. 

Healing is not my strong point, but it’s usually enough to fix minor injuries. In emergency circumstances, I can do more, but it completely drains me, leaving me incapacitated while I recover the lost energy. 

“Thank you, my headache has lessened,” Robert says when pull my hand away. 

“Can someone see if Dot and Art are available? I’d like them to give Robert a healing session. I know he will need

weeks of healing to fix this, but if we can relieve some of h symptoms now, he will have more chance at recovering Harper,” I say into the mind link 

“I’ll call Dot,” Mace responds. 

A couple of hours later, we have all eaten breakfast and Dot Art and another young healer have all done a short healing session on Robert. He looks so much brighter and has a little more energy about him. I’m not sure if it’s because his gifts have fully returned, the healing, his freedom or his acceptance that he is going to live, or a combination of all of these things, but he seems like a different man. 

There’s a spark in his eyes that wasn’t there before and an air of happiness about hirm that is certainly affecting my mum. I’m sure if she wasn’t in love with Frank, she’d certainly be expressing an interest in Robert. 

Deacon drops my mum and Freya off at our house in Greys realm for the day because there’s no way I’m leaving them in the house the rogues had attacked us in unguarded Then we port to the military headquarters. 

We decide that Robert will port Deacon and Axel to Cornelies‘ place first. His gifts are fully restored by now, but he is out of practice after years of being powerless, so porting seven people is probably not the best way to ease him back into it. Once they confirm Cornelius‘ belongings are there, D will return for the rest of us. 

I watch as Robert, Deacon and Axel disappear in front of my eyes, a sight I’m still not used to, even after all these years. Tense seconds pass before Deacon speaks into the mind link 

We are here, the place looks like it’s been untouched for a significant amount of time,” D says, and I blow out a relieved breath.
