**Mason''s POV**
Josie moans down the phone and my cock hardens instantly Theo ends the call and I have to clench my fists and focus on my breathing. My every instinct is urging me to go to her. My palms begin to sweat and I rub them on my pants as we drive away from the academy.
"Wee to my world," Deacon snorts, he must have been watching my reaction.
"I''m fine," I snap.
"Sure you are, no big deal, right? It''s so easy to ignore the call of your bond. Your wolf isn''t threatening to take control and run to his mate," he grins sarcastically.
"Exactly," I nod.
"Do you want to go back?" he raises a brow. Yes! Every fibre of my being is screaming at me to say yes. To demand that the driver stop this car and allow me to shift and run back to her.
"No," I grunt, barely able to force the word out.
"Let''s get this over with quickly and get you back to her," he gives me a knowing smile.
"She is worried about you you know? She said I shoulde with you because she thinks you haven''t slept and will need me more than she does," I quirk an eyebrow at him.
"She''s right, I haven''t slept at allst night, but I''m fine," he shrugs.
"You don''t look fine,"
"Fine, I''m tired, and I''m stressed, and I crave my bond every second of every day, I''m jealous that I can''t be with you all, shutting out the world for a while, and I need a damn break. Does that make you feel better?" he rants and I smirk in victory.
"So should we just agree that we are both fine? Or do you want to talk about our feelings more?"
"Point taken,” he rolls his eyes and for a second he looks younger. I keep forgetting there are less than four years between us. When I started the academy he was a student here too, we even had some sses together for my first two years. Now though, he acts so grown up and very professional with his suit and briefcase that I sometimes forget he''s only 26. I hated it when he became headmaster of the academy, he started treating me differently. Not just because he was my superior now, but because he had ess to my file, with all my personal history. I knew the exact day that he read it because I saw the pity in his eyes. He had never looked at me that way before and it pissed me off. I didn''t want him to know. No one at the academy was supposed to know apart from Dot. It was supposed to be a fresh start, where no one pitied me, where I wasn''t poor, troubled little Mason.
"Why do you look murderous?" Deacon asks.
"Because I feel murderous," I grin.
"Awesome," he grins back, he never did back away from me like most people.
We pull up at the prison gates and Deacon talks with security. I message Theo asking how things are, replies quickly, informing me that he and Axel were not enough and that Luke is now trying to sate her.

"Shit," I curse. This is not good. She is progressing far too quickly. Most females don''t get to this stage until their
twenties.

"What''s
my phone out to him and his wrong?" Deacon asks, turning his attention from the security guard. Iho eyes growrge with concern as he reads the message. "We need to do this as quickly as possible," he snaps at the guard.
"Yes, Sir, I''ll have the suspects in the interview room by the time you get in there," he nods and presses a
the gates whilst using his radio tomunicate with the inside of the prison.

Do vo
you think she is damaged from the head injury?" I ask

"No, this has to be something to do with the Spark bond. What if, and I know this sounds insane, but what if it''s not us that will physically save the realm? What if we are supposed to create the child that will? That would exin this elerated heat," he suggests.
"You mean fate is angry that you are not fucking your bond and forcing an 18- year-old to be a mother before she is ready so this is its way of forcing you?" I frown at how ridiculous he sounds, but it''s also the kind of bullshit move fate would probably pull.
"It''s all I can think of that makes any sense," he shrugs.
“I think it''s time to talk to Josie about this,” I suggest reluctantly and he nods.
