Chapter 321

Chapter 1

** Harper's POV **

If my mum comes into my bedroom one more time to remind me to pack something, I'm going to scream. I am more than capable of packing my things. Besides, if I forget something, I can just come back for or have one of my parents bring it when they visit the academy, which they do at least five days a week.

I know my mum is just worried about me leaving home, but she really doesn't need to. I am more than ready for this. At 18 years old, I'm ready to grow up and live my life.

I already know who two of my bonds are, and if nobody identifies any more for me, then I will be perfectly happy. Me, Archie and Dillon have already been through a lot together. I trust them both and I can't wait to officially bond with them and start our future together, even if I am a little nervous about the steps involved in completing the bonding.

"Come in," I sigh when there's yet another knock at my bedroom door.

To my surprise, it's not my mum this time, it's my dad, Mason.

"Just coming to measure up for Bella's new bed. She wants a high sleeper," he says.

"Wow, you could at least let me leave before you plan the renovation," I huff as I shove more clothes from my wardrobe into my suitcase.

"Well, you won't let us help you, so we have to find some other way to keep busy," he shrugs.

"If you want to help, then take those boxes downstairs," I say, pointing to a pile of boxes I have packed with my belongings.

Every time the seer came, dread sickened me, but year after year, they never identified me as a bond, and I was happy with that, or so I thought. When I met Theo, I knew instantly that he was going to be important to me. Despite me telling him to leave me alone multiple times, he never did. He was the only person who didn't let my attitude put him off me. He kept trying to be my friend, and so I let him in. I let myself trust someone for the first time since I was a child. So when your mum came crashing into our lives and Theo instantly fell for her, I felt threatened.
