Fractured by N.O Darling

Chapter 0214

Deacon and I port into an empty apartment in a building that overlooks the park, whilst Luke, Axe, Mason and Theo port to a disused train line in the underground station cross the street. Some of Raff’s team are already here and some have even managed to compel themselves onto the security team.

We know Cornelius will have informed his team to be on the lookout for bonded groups so it’s important that as a female I am only seen with one male, otherwise we may draw suspicion.

“No,” I say without emotion.
