Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Realization
[Fineon’s POV]I sat in bed, staring at the roof, as lines of light finally began to race across it. After tossing and turning for most of the night, I gave up on sleep entirely and let my thoughts begin to slowly drown me.After agreeing to help track the man that crashed Fallon’s welcome back party, I had intended to head back to Grishan, but the big brute and Gale had insisted that I stay here to get as much rest as I could so that I was in full form.Deciding it wouldn’t do any harm, I agreed, but little did I know that the guest quarters were so damn close to Fallon’s room. I could feel her presence through all the damn walls, and that alone kept me up as both desire and guilt crashed into me.With each sudden urge to go find her came the realization that I shouldn’t push it, especially since our relationship was currently so rocky.Looking at it now, I was realizing that maybe what I had felt all along for Gale wasn’t love, but rather an obsession that belonged to a young child
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond A Permanent Reminder
[Fallon’s POV]I close my eyes as Fineon’s strong heartbeat echoes in my head. It’s a calming beat that is almost like a metronome that helps me fully focus and stops all the suffocating emotions I’m feeling in the moment.Usually, physical exertion would help with calming myself, but this morning it wasn’t working. Though I wasn’t too happy that I was seen in such a state, I was happy for his presence, at least for now.‘Time to pull yourself together.’ Artemis orders, ‘Or are you going to stay here like this?’‘No,’ I sigh, opening my eyes again just as a torrential downpour starts. ‘I still haven’t fully forgiven him for what he has done.’‘So you’re considering doing it then?’Did I? I didn’t know. My rage and hurt at what had been done faded with each passing day, but that didn't mean I was ready to let him in."We should go." I murmur, beginning to pull away."Y-yeah." Fineon breathes, though by the look on his face, I know he isn’t happy about the moment ending. "Let’s go."Whe
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond A Request And An Inquiry
[Fallon’s POV]Later, I stand beside dad and watch as Gavin ushered at least a dozen soldiers towards us. All wore the same looks of determination, and their auras radiated nothing more than anticipation for what was possibly to come within the next few days, weeks, or even months, depending on just how serious a situation we found ourselves in.Once they were all lined up in front of us, Dad began to move, leaving Cyrus and I to watch from our spots.Slowly, he paced, taking in each and every one, taking them in as if they were some type of scientific specimens waiting to be experimented on.I wasn’t sure what he was trying to find, but in the end, I guess he didn't, because he took his place between Cyrus and me once more."Are these your best, Gavin?" He inquires, his gaze fixed on his best lieutenant. "You aren’t holding out on me, correct?""Only the best of the best can accompany the princess and prince." Gavin assures, sending waves of annoyance through me.Who the hell was he
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Regret
[Fineon’s POV]"Repeat that." Fallon hisses, seeming genuinely shocked by my question. "I don’t think I heard you right."Didn’t hear me correctly? Yeah right."I said," I begin, leaning so close that our noses are almost touching. "What is that mark on your back?"Earlier on, when we were walking back to the packhouse, I thought I saw something strange through her shirt, but I figured that it wasn’t anything serious. However, when she abruptly turned to take me in, I knew something was wrong just by the fear in her eyes.And when she hurried away, I was able to examine it a bit more, but I couldn’t determine what exactly it was."I don’t know what you’re talking about." She says slowly, trying to feign ignorance. "The only mark I know of is...""Don’t," I warn, feeling a pang of pain shoot through me as my eyes unconsciously go to the small bit of my mark that mars her skin. "Don’t try to hide it by diverting."Reaching out, I let my hand rest on Fallon’s back as she remains unmoving
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Departure
[Fineon’s POV]I found myself standing in Fire Roses Morgue the next morning as the big brute and one of his men rolled out the already decaying body of the one who had been possessed during Fallon's welcome home party.Both men wore looks of anger as they stared at the man in front of me."Poor bastard." The big brute grumbled. "But why does he look like this?"As he spoke, his eyes came to rest on me."The results of being possessed by so much darkness." I explained, taking in the man's gray skin and hollowed-out cheeks and eyes. "They feed off their host."In the past, I had helped Donald deal with similar issues, but this was by far the worst case I had encountered."Why did you want to see him?" The big brute’s man asks, drawing my attention to himself.When I finished my confession with Gale the day before, I asked the big brute to see the man in front of me now. Although he seemed slightly confused about my request, he didn’t argue and granted me permission."The essence of the
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Her Wounded Pride
[Fallon’s POV]I watch my dad and Fineon’s exchange; there is so much trust between them that I feel a pang of pain shoot through me.How would their relationship be if Dad ever figures out that Fineon was the one who forcefully tried to mark me? What’s worse, what if he learned it was all because he thought I was mom?‘That shouldn’t be your concern.’ Artemis huffs. ‘I think a good asskicking by your dad is exactly what he deserves.’Frowning, I once again find myself questioning the odd relationship between us.Since she and I were two halves of a whole, shouldn’t she be feeling more empathetic towards our mate? However, before I could think too long on it, a howl escaped Dad, signaling it was time to get moving.Feeling, my adrenaline thrum, I watched as half of our battalion shifted into their wolf forms and surged forward, while the rest of us began to move on foot.Giving dad one last glance, I let out a howl of my own and shifted, joining those that were in wolf form.After th
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Turning Up The Tension
[Fallon’s POV]"C-cheer?" I repeat, my heart kicking into overdrive. "How?"At my words, a slow smile began to spread across Fineon’s handsome face, lighting his eyes up and making him seem so much younger and carefree."Does that mean you’ll allow me to?"Nodding, I wait as he continues to stare down at me with that dazzling smile of his. Goddess, he truly was handsome."Why not."I don’t know exactly what I expected to happen next, but it wasn’t for him to suddenly release me, sending waves of disappointment through me.Dammit, I needed to get my shit together. I was supposed to be resisting him!Trying to pretend that everything was alright, I watch as Fineon looks around the area, stopping here and there to pick up rocks. Once he has collected enough, he turns to me and holds them out for me to examine."Are you going to throw those at me?" I ask, raising a brow. "Or…"Instead of responding, he throws one up in the air and then another. Before long, all five are moving together as
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Possessiveness
[Fineon’s POV]I watch Fallon’s retreating form, especially her ass, which jiggles in all the right ways with each step. I’m sure that she hears the growl that escapes me as my thoughts begin to go south, thinking of all the things I’d truly like to do, but can’t—-not right now anyway.Only once she is completely out of sight, do I begin to move, making my way back towards camp since it would be better for us not to be seen together.When I arrive, my eyes sweep the area until they come to rest on where Fallon stands talking to two hulking figures.Frowning, I realize that one of them is Hindrick, whose expression isn’t set in its normal, stone cold one, but instead there is a gentleness there that seems to be reserved for Fallon and Fallon alone.‘Bastard.’ Franz growls, mirroring the sudden jealousy I feel over another person looking at our mate that way. ‘Are you just going to stand here and watch?’Was I? No, I wasn’t, not when Hindrick’s face softened more and more with each pass

Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond BONUS CHAPTER 3: Whatever She Needs
[Idris’ POV] "Are you sure you’re going back?" Mom’s eyes begin to fill with tears as she waits for a response. I don’t know exactly what she expects me to say. "Yes, I am. It’s been a month since Mateo and his underlings were killed, and the academy is finally reopening. As a student, I am required to go back." She knew that I still had a year left before I graduated. I couldn’t just never go back, no matter what had happened since the school shut down. "But…" "Don’t give him a hard time," Dad warns, cutting her off while wrapping a comforting arm around her. "The academy is one of the safest places on the continent, and the threat is gone. I’m sure the next year will simply fly by." "That’s right," I add, taking advantage of dad’s opening for me to leave. "I promise to keep in touch, and before you know it, I’ll be back to irritate the hell out of you." "You heard him," Dad beams, squeezing her closer. "Now, you should allow him to head out; otherwise, he won’t make it there
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond BONUS CHAPTER 2: She's My Mate
[Hindrick’s POV]"Welcome back!"Uncle Elleric doesn’t wait before he pulls me into a hug, crushing me against him and making me extremely uncomfortable.Growling, I work to break free, and once I manage to achieve my goal, I take a few steps back."Ever the stoic," he chuckles, taking me in. "Can’t you drop the act just for a day? You’ve been gone for a month, and you didn’t even bother to send word.""Because I was busy cleaning up the mess that was left behind," I point out. "Anyway, I didn’t come here for a heartfelt family reunion."At my words, Uncle Elleric’s face grows serious, and I get the feeling that he is expecting me to deliver a killing blow."Don’t worry," I sigh before his head can come up with some ridiculous scenarios, "it isn’t anything like that. I was actually asked a favor by an idiot.""Fineon?" Uncle Elleric asks, knowing perfectly well who I would be referring to. I didn’t know if I was that obvious or if he also saw Fineon as a fool. "Or is it Chance?"I bit
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond BONUS CHAPTER 1: Part Ways
[Fallon’s POV]A month passed in a blur before things were finally beginning to become normal once again. With things being so hectic, I didn’t get to see much of Fineon since he seemed to always be busy, but this time when we met, I wasn’t going to let him go until he told me what it was that he was up to.I manage to find Fineon heading out of dad's office with a look of frustration on his face."What’s wrong?" I ask, startling him."F-Fallon!" he gasps, taking me in. "Why are you...""Here?" I offer for him, moving forward. "Because if I wasn't, you would find some way to evade me like you have been doing for the past month."At my words, his expression shifts from shock to guilt. So he was intentionally avoiding me, which is interesting."Anyway, I was hoping you’d come somewhere with me today," I continue, wrapping my arms around his and squeezing. "Saying no is not an option.""But…""No buts!" I snap. "Come on."Giving a tug, I begin to move, dragging Fineon until we arrive at
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Epilogue: When A Life Ends Another Begins
[Fineon’s POV]Returning home was a bittersweet thing, given the circumstances we were returning under. Whether it should have been a time of celebration, it was instead a moment of saying welcome back and saying goodbye.As we made landfall and began to unload, Fallon rushed off to see her parents and allowed herself to get lost in their embrace.Deciding that the moment should be strictly for family, I stay back as the tears begin to fall."You want to help us with this?" Ramone asks, coming up behind me. "He’s a bit heavy."Nodding, I turn and follow him back onto the boat to collect Cyrus’ body, allowing Fallon and her parents to be alone with each other.Inside the cabin, I can feel the chill of death pressing against my skin, and it makes the fact that Cyrus and Gavin are gone that much more real. Now all that was left to do to say goodbye was give them the proper send-off that they deserved.Sighing, I move forward and help Ramone collect Cyrus first so that his parents could s
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Return Home
[Fallon’s POV]I don’t know how long I stayed in place, staring at the slowly disappearing door that Cyrus took to his final resting place. It was only when Titiana gently touched my shoulder that I finally snapped out of my daze."You need to get back now," she murmurs, giving me a smile filled with sympathy and sorrow. "Although your brother is no longer on earth, there are still many waiting on you.""Right," I sigh, getting to my feet. "I’m sure Fineon and Hindrick are at their wits end.""When you go back, you should really think about yourself more," Titiana chuckles."What do you mean?""You’ve worked so hard to gain everyone’s approval that you have lost yourself," she explains, touching my cheek."That’s what being a leader means," I counter. "I can’t think of myself. I can only think of my pack.""That’s not true," Titiana says, shaking her head. "You must also think of yourself, otherwise, you’ll end up regretting it one day. Now, go back to them."Before I can respond, I’m
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Request
[Fallon’s POV]"You had something you needed to speak with me about?" I ask hesitantly as Titiana examines me.After all the bombs that had been dropped on me earlier on, I wasn’t quite sure I was ready for another, but since this was the goddess’ request, there was no way that I could deny her."Not so much me," she responds, giving me a sad look.My stomach starts to roll as a bad feeling begins to creep up in me. Why was she looking at me like that, and why did it make my heart hurt?"Who is it?" I ask quietly, realizing that whoever it was must be someone close to me, and if they were here instead of on earth, then that meant that they were dead."It’s me."The world comes crashing down around me as I turn and find Cyrus making his way toward me.No, this couldn’t be real; there was no way it could. Was he like me, on the edge of life and death? If so, that meant he could be saved. Why was he here, and why did it feel like whatever was going to be said was goodbye?"Cy-cyrus," I w
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond To Make A Choice
[Anika’s POV]I continue to stare down at the lava where Mateo disappeared while Fineon and Hindrick remain silent, allowing me the space to process my emotions.Mateo was gone, for real this time. He would never come back to this world in this lifetime, and I wasn’t even sure if we would be able to find each other when we reincarnated like we promised. So that meant this was it, right?That thought alone left an immense loneliness in me that I thought I would never have to feel again. However, I had to admit, the second time around was so much more painful."Sorry to disturb," Fineon murmurs after a bit more time passes. "But how will we be sure that doing what Mateo said really did the trick?""I don’t know," I admitted, frowning."You don’t think that this was another trick of his, do you?" Hindrick growls. "What if...""He wasn’t lying," I say, cutting him off. "The one that was there in the end was Mateo, not Parker.""I understand that, but nothing seems to have happened," Hindr
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Gift
[Anika’s POV]I wait as Fineon and Hindrick examine me as if trying to determine if they could convince me to stay. It is only when Mount Malum lets out another ominous roar that they seem to concede and begin to move again."Stay close," Hindrick orders when I scramble to catch up. "If you cause anything to happen to Fallon’s body, I’ll destroy you, understood?""Of course," I respond, not taking offense to his threat. "I know my limits.""Then let’s go," Hindrick sighs, though he still doesn’t seem fully convinced.Nodding, I begin to follow, staying close behind the two men who insisted on keeping me safe from any possible rockslides or attacks that may happen."It’ll take at least a day to get to the top of this," Hindrick mutters when we reach Mount Malum’s side. "Do we have that much time?"Looking up, I take in the lava that bubbles up and then explodes and the smoke that is quickly surrounding the mountain, blocking the rest of the world from view."I don’t know," I admit. "Bu
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond To Say Goodbye
[Anika’s POV]Pain rips through my chest with every inch the anima sword makes through Mateo’s body. Even if I managed to destroy the mark he left on me, our bond was still there, and I wasn’t too surprised I was feeling what he was. This was how strong our bond had always been, and in a way, I was happy he wasn't alone."An…ika…" Mateo rasps, his eyes finding mine. "Why?""Because this must be done."Everything in me screamed to stop, to help him, and to save him from the painful death that he was currently experiencing, but I knew this had to be done. And I was the one who had to do it. Not Hindrick, not Fallon, but me. I had to end this once and for all.Closing my eyes, I allow all the beautiful memories that we shared to begin to flash across my mind. This would be the last time I allowed them to overtake me. Once this was finished, I would fully let go. I had to; there was no holding onto something that would never be again.SIghing, I let my tears flow as Mateo’s love-filled ey
