Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond A Chain Reaction
[Hindrick’s POV]I sit alone, staring out into the distance, while letting the sounds of crickets and cicadas comfort my whirling emotions. Even though I had thought that leaving Langley and Fallon would help me sort out my feelings and calm my mind, I was finding that it was leaving me more on edge than ever before.Despite knowing that Fallon was safe with that bastard Fineon and her father, I still found myself wanting to be the one beside her, protecting her. It was a ridiculous hope, but one that I just couldn’t seem to shake.‘Weak,’ Apollo huffs, not bothering to hide his disgust. ‘You’re always going to be too weak.’‘Maybe,’ I chuckle, letting out a sigh and shifting my position. ‘But at least I won’t be a burden to anyone ever again.’After leaving Langley, I made up my mind to never look back. It was something that no one else who was currently joining me on my mission knew, but it was a decision I made myself.Once things were settled, I would become a mercenary and travel
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond An Inner Fight
[Hindrick’s POV]Continuing to let the images come, I watch as Anika lets out a laugh while Mateo watches her."That’s right," Mateo chuckles. "Let that hatred take over and consume you."Cursing, I immediately realized what was going on. Just like me, Anika must have had a dark side that was constantly attempting to overpower her light. However, I couldn’t quite understand why, of all times, this was happening, but I had a feeling it was important.Turning my focus back to the scene in front of me, I watch as Anika throws an orb of black light at Mateo, who easily dodges it."Missed," Mateo chuckles. "Don’t let your emotions overpower your judgment.""You’re letting him manipulate you," I hiss, knowing damn well they couldn’t hear me. "You need to get it together."Biting back the urge to give in, I move, trying to reach Anika, though with each step I take, it's almost like I’m taking two steps back.‘This is just an illusion,’ Apollo reminds me. ‘The true inner struggle is in Fallon
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond Strengthen The Bond
[Fineon’s POV]I stare down at Fallon’s pain-filled face and find myself doubting whether or not what Tyson suggested would work. Wouldn’t it be better to remove that other mark on her skin?"Are you just going to stand there and look dumb?" The big brute snaps, drawing my attention toward himself. "She’s suffering, and as Tyson has said, you’re the only one who can do something about it.""But…" I stammer. "I still haven’t...""Does that matter?" The big brute growls, cutting me off. "I thought you were serious about my daughter and willing to do whatever it took to be with her.""I…"That was right. I had promised her and everyone around us that I would do whatever it took to show my sincerity, but when I thought of marking her without her permission, my heart hurt."Don’t attack him."Jerking, I snapped my gaze back to Fallon and took in her crimson gaze. Deep within in it I could see understanding, but I could also see a deep-rooted pain that left me feeling like the biggest piece
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond His Distrust
[Hindrick’s POV]I wait as Utica continues to stare me down with those damned eyes that seem to see deep into the very depths of my soul. Something about them is so unnerving, but I refuse to break our stare down."Well?" I repeat in frustration. "Are you afraid that I’m going to bite?""Maybe," Utica responds, causing Andria to break into a fit of giggles. "Could you not encourage her?""Don’t take your frustration out on Andria," Elleric warns. "Don’t you think if you were less harsh, the girl would be more willing to oblige your request?"Less harsh? I wasn’t being harsh to begin with, now was I? This was my usual way of speaking."It’s fine," Utica finally says, beginning to come forward. "I’ll do as you say since I’m feeling thankful for your helping me."Nodding, I watch until she is standing right beside me. Only when she stops moving entirely do I reach out and grab her hand.Immediately, a wave of warmth and comfort crashed into me, pushing aside the darkness that was threate
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond The Broken Bond
[Anika’s POV]I stare into Mateo’s dark eyes and find that I don’t feel an ounce of love for him. Instead, all I can feel is a deep-rooted hatred that leaves me wanting to kill the man in front of me."Go on then," he taunts when I don’t move. "Are you really going to hesitate to attack?"‘Kill him,’ the voice growls. ‘He was the one that allowed Alton to kill you and your baby.’That was right. He allowed Alton to take our lives and then tried to play it off as if he was devastated. From the start, he was never the kind Mateo that I thought I knew.Letting out a snarl of rage, I let all the darkness that is growing within me erupt, slamming into Mateo and sending him stumbling backwards."So this was the power you were always capable of," he laughs. "You’re still too weak."Surging forward, he lets his own energy erupt. Dodging the first blow, I attack with my own.Together, we dance around the space, fighting blow for blow and trying to gain dominance over each other. However, it be
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond First Eruption
[Fallon’s POV]"Yeah."The words leave my lips before I am able to fully process what is happening. The marks were gone, as was the connection between Mateo and Anika. Was this really happening, or were we counting our chickens before they hatched?"Really?"The hope in Fineon’s voice makes me want to believe that this is true, but I still can’t quite bring myself to believe it."I think so."In my mind, I can feel Anika’s warring emotions. Gone was her helpless devotion to Mateo, and in its place was a cold determination. She was different; that was one thing that was certain, but just how different was still to be discovered.‘Are you okay?’ I push, unable to hide my worry for her. ‘You don’t have to try to play strong with me.’‘Better than okay,’ Anika responds simply. ‘I feel free for the first time in so many centuries.’Despite her hopeful response, I still feel that coldness. It reminds me of the darkness I felt earlier on—was all of that coming from her? If so, did this mean
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond A Fight With Himself
[Hindrick’s POV]I stood alone, staring out at the horizon, taking in the pluming smoke from Mount Malum. The closer we grew to Fulgor Island, the more I saw just how bad things truly were becoming."It’s something, isn’t it?" Gavin announces, appearing beside me.Nodding, I continue to stare. I couldn’t explain why, but something felt off. I hoped it was just my imagination, but usually my hunches were correct."How long until we arrive at Ave Island?"Ave was the first of the islands we would be making our way to, as it was furthest from Fulgor. I could only hope that those who inhabited it would be willing to help. However, if they initially refused, I had ways of convincing them."We should reach by nightfall."Satisfied, I prepare to respond but stop as a low rumbling sound reaches my ears.Tensing, I watch as a large plume of smoke bursts from Mount Malum, followed by a wall of fire.Cursing, I watch as the smoke begins to spread all around Fulgor and make its way toward our des
Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond A Curse
[Hindrick’s POV]Ah, this feeling. It was the same thing I felt every time the darkness wanted to take over. I felt this dark sense of hopelessness and unease, but I couldn’t let it take me. If I were to allow that, then I wouldn’t be able to see her smile again, would I?Closing my eyes, I let the world around me that was filled with chaos and death disappear while a warm world began to appear."This is why," I breathe as Fallon slowly appears before me. "This is why I can’t let it win."Feeling my body begin to fill with warmth, I watch as Fallon’s eyes light up and a large smile begins to spread across her face."Hindrick," she calls, holding out a hand to me. "Are you coming?"As she speaks, I turn my attention to the distance where she is heading. Standing there waiting for me is everyone that I have learned to hold near and dear, even if I never dared to say so."Weak."The single world threatens to shatter the world that I am slowly trying to create around me so I don’t get suc

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
