Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 0078 

“Thank you for your time, Miss Banks, I’ll have your new phone and clothes delivered to your room shortly,” Mr Collins nods and walks out of my room. I blink in confusion. Why did we have to be in my room for that chat? I hear Theo shouting in the living area and 1 rush out to see what’s going on. Mason has Theo in a bear hug from behind and he’s struggling, Mr Collins whispers something to him and he suddenly goes still in Mason’s arms. 

“What’s going on?” I demand. 

“Compulsion training again,” Luke explains spinning me to face him, “Are you hungry?” 

“Yes, I’m starving, but I want to see Theo act like a chicken” I laugh, trying to look over my shoulder to see the show, but I only catch Mr Collins leaving. 

“You know I’m starting to think that guy is a bit of a creep. I know he’s our headmaster and is supposed to help us but don’t you think he helps us a little too much?” Theo asks with a frown. 

“We are a special case,” Luke shrugs. 

“Can we finally eat now?” Mason huffs. 

“I think I lost my appetite,” Axel growls and I notice that his fists are clenched as he walks into his room and slams the door behind him. 

“Did I miss something?” I ask, looking between the guys. Theo frowns, looking just as confused at Axel’s mood as 

1. mc. 

“He’s just tired,” Luke smiles and Mason grunts in agreement whilst he loads a plate up with breakfast pastries. 

I take a plate, grab a few of the pastries and head to Axel’s bedroom. “Axel?” I call as I knock on the door. “Can I come in?” 

The door opens and Axel steps back, allowing me in before he slams the door behind me making me flinch. 

“Sorry,” he mumbles. 

“It’s okay. What’s wrong?” I ask, following him to sit on the edge of his bed. 

‘Nothing, I’m fine, just in a bad mood,” he sighs and points towards the door before tapping his ear, indicating the others might be listening. I nod in understanding. 

“Then it’s lucky I’m here to cheer you up then isn’t it,” I grin, “eat,” I offer him one of the pastries, and he shakes his head. 

“You eat,” he half smiles. 

“Only if you do,” I challenge. 

“Fine,” he grabs one of the pastries from the plate and takes a massive bite, making me giggle as he struggles to 

chew it. 

“So what should we do today?” I ask as we eat. 

“There’s not much we can do,” he snorts. 

“Oh I don’t know, I was thinking we could get an Uber into town, maybe visit a restaurant and go to the cinema or bowling,” I shrug.

“Do what?” he laughs, clearly having no idea what I’m talking about. 

“Ugh, what do you guys do for fun in this realm?”

“We have parties with dancing, but they’re not really my scene. We watch TV, play video games, go for walks or a swim, run as wolves, read books,” he shrugs. 

“I can’t wait to take you guys to the human realm,” I sigh and flop back on his bed, imagining all the fun we could be having. 

“I’ve never been there, tell me about it,” he says, laying back on the bed next to me. I tell him about all the amazing food we have, the fun activities we do and the sports we play. I find out that they do play some of the same sports here but they’re mostly just school activities and not the big events that we have in the human realm. We talk about music and he plays some popular music from this realm, which is different but not bad. 

“I wish I still had my old phone, I had some music saved on there,” I say sadly. 

“Wait here,” Axel frowns and leaves the room, he returns moments later with a box, “this is all of your stuff that they managed to save,” he places the box on the bed and I open it eagerly.
