I try not to giggle at how ridiculous he looks with the puppy weaving through his feet with every step. When North gets us both through the door and into the hallway, he doesn’t let go of my hand as he stalks through to the elevator. It sniffs the air and I can tell that it doesn’t like North’s creatures by the way it moves, but it climbs down from his arm and trails after us anyway, doubling in size until it looks like a normal-sized puppy instead of the teeny tiny pup Nox had hiding in his hair. When we get past Nox, the closest to the door out of everyone, everyone, I see the puppy-like creature poke its head out from behind his ear. I let North lead me through the garage, past each of my Bonds, without a word to any of them. Only to be met by North and he starts with some smoke and restrains the rest of her guys as he berates them. Of course, Nox has to show up and make things difficult, and then drives her home. North lightens up a bit and allows Oli to have more freedom including a job.

She’s also determined to return to classes the next day even though it’s only been forty-eight hours since they returned. Oli doesn’t offer them any answers and just frustrates them more, going to her room with Atlas and Gabe. Nox had an injury that was over twenty years old that’s now healed.

She doesn’t just heal him though, she heals all her men. On the plane she actually freaks the guys a bit when her bond doesn’t like that Gabe is in pain. Atlas ignores it all and scoops her into his arms. North starts toward her but stops when he sees the carnage.

While freaked out they are alive as North and Atlas arrive on the transport. Three of her bonds have witnessed her gift and Tac teams as well. Unfortunately, the resistance catches up and Oli is unwilling to lose any of her bonds or their teams and lets her gift loose again. Kieran, Gryphon and Nox get them out of the camp and to a rendezvous point to await transport. When she realizes Gabe has been taken too, she lets out her gift using the same way she did to escape them before. If you recall the Resistance has attack the Draven Campus and Oli allows herself to be taken in order to save her friend Sage. This book starts where that one leaves off. First let me say that if you haven’t read the first book, STOP, go back and read it.
