Chapter 319

**

Josie's POV **

As soon as all the kids are in school, Deacon, Axel, me and Mason head to meet with Raff. He updates us on what they discovered from the latest batch of rogues we had brought in. Only two of the adults survived our ambush; Unfortunately, Mandy is one of them, but at least she will spend the rest of her life in prison.

I'm not usually so comfortable with killing people, but sometimes it's kill or be killed, and I'm okay with that. Mandy deserved to die after what she had done to Luke though, after she had nearly taken him from us, she is one I'd kill without

"Why are you chained?" I ask, anger bubbling in my gut.

"Don't fret over it. I am technically still a prisoner, they're just doing their jobs," Robert says as I look around to find someone to unchain him.

"I'll see what I can do," Deacon says, squeezing my shoulder reassuringly before leaving to talk to someone in charge.

"How are you feeling?" I ask, pushing my anger down for the time being.

"I'm good. They're treating me well and have been doing two healing sessions a day. They say it will increase when they've finished treating all the kids they've been bringing in from the human realm. I'm so glad so many have been rescued. How is Harper doing?"
