My wrist still burns while Josie heals it. The pain was not quite as bad as I imagined, but it was close. I think kissing Josie helped, and I felt the guys lending me their strength through the bond. That’s what I love the most about them. We are never alone in anything. Each member of our bond group is always ready to step in to help, no matter what we are going through.

We are a solid until, unbreakable. So, whilst I’m still nervous about the journal, I’m also sure that whatever they find in there can’t shake our bond.

“We have found something!” Ben calls from the doorway of the building behind us.

Everyone moves, eager to find out what they have found. Josie’s heat leaves my body and I sit for a moment, completely alone. I look at my wrist, there’s no sign of the trauma it just suffered. Josie did a great job of healing it. I let my eyes flare with my power and see the pale glow of the branding. It looks just like Robert’s. It’s the mark
