Fractured by N.O Darling

Chapter 316

**Theo's POV **

We are all a little on edge over breakfast. No matter how my bond group tries to mask it, I can feel the sliver of anxiety, and a rising hint of uncertainty. I just don't know what it is for. Are we just so used to having something to worry about that it's going to take a while before we allow ourselves to relax again? Or is it that Josie had given off the emotions of an impending heat?

I get why that may be a worry; Our days of procreation should be over. If we suddenly discover they aren't, then what could be the purpose? Is there another threat arising that means a new spark bond needs to be created? Have we been chosen to bring in one of the next Spark Bond members? I guess only time will tell.

After breakfast, Deacon takes Penny and Freya home. As it is the weekend, the kids are off school, and we decide to give ourselves a break from the real world for a couple of days. We all need time to recover, and we need time as a family, spending time with the kids and resting. Everything else can wait until Monday.

By Sunday evening we have all recovered, apart from Luke, who is still tiring easier than he used to, but that's to be expected after how close he was to death. Josie had given us no more signs of coming into heat, which is a relief but also a slight disappointment. I loved it when she was in heat, not just for the sex, but the closeness and the excuse to shut ourselves away from the world for a few days. Not to mention the resulting baby we would get from it. If I could, I'd have a hundred babies with Josie.

I also secretly love how needy she became during her heat. I do love how independent she is, but when she was in heat and would whimper just for our touch and nearness, it made me feel important. I've never felt more like a man than in those moments. Maybe she would be up for some role-play?

Josie is in the bath, relaxing before bed whilst the rest of us settle the kids into bed and prepare for the Monday morning rush. I deliver all the uniforms to the children's bedrooms, ready for the morning. Harper is excited to return to school, which I suspect is because she will be reunited with Archie. Atlas and Joel are less enthusiastic about receiving their uniform and the younger three are already sleeping peacefully, so don't groan at the sight of the uniform.

My jobs for the evening are done, so I head into our bedroom, where Luke is already resting.

"How are you feeling?" I ask him.

"Not bad, the aches have gone and I no longer have a constant headache. I'm just still tired," he shrugs.

"Are you tired for some fun with our bond?" I ask with a smirk. I already know what his answer will be. "Never," he shakes his head.
