[Hindrick’s POV]"Hey," I call, trying to get Fineon to open his eyes. "Shit, you’re burning up."Letting out a hiss of frustration, I take in Fineon’s red cheeks and sweat-covered skin. What the hell had he done to put himself in this state? Was it really worth sacrificing his own health and possibly his life?"If you die, I’ll find a way to revive you and kill you again," I warn, hefting him over my shoulder. "Do you hear me?"Did he hear me? Ha! I was sure right about now that the bastard didn’t hear a thing; he was too damn far gone.Unable to control my annoyance, I make my way back into Ave’s compound just in time to find Uncle Ramone and Angles speaking animatedly."Are you sure you don’t want to stay one more day?" Angles begs. "Tonight’s festivities will be..."As he speaks, Anita glares daggers toward Uncle Ramone’s back, causing him to actually sweat. This woman really was something."I’m sorry, but we really should get going.""Actually," I announce, deciding to help Angle
[Fallon’s POV]My heart rate kicks into full gear as I take in Hindrick’s unsure expression. He hardly ever showed emotion around others; was Fineon truly that bad off?"Where is he?" I ask, unable to remain calm. "Take me to him now."Not waiting for a response, I make to move but stop as a hand wraps around my wrist. Growling, I shoot a glare at Cyrus, who is the owner of the hand."What?" I demand, growing impatient. "What do you think you’re doing?""Is he really more important than your own brother?"Disbelief rolls through me as I take in Cyrus’ serious expression while fighting the urge to pummel him right here and now."I don’t have time for your jealousy."Yanking my wrist free, I grab Hindrick’s arm and continue to move. Cyrus could just stay there and pout for all I cared. I knew earlier on that something was wrong with Fineon, but I figured he would be fine."What’s wrong with him?" I ask again once Ave’s compound comes into view. "Why didn’t anyone come get me sooner?""H
[Fallon’s PV]Later, I stood in the bathroom, staring at my reflection. After agreeing to take care of Fineon while the others prepared for our upcoming voyage, King Angles lent me some clothes, but how was I to know they would be like this?Frowning, I take in the tiny nurse's dress that is a size too small for me so that the fabric squeezes my body tightly, revealing each and every curve, while at the top, my breasts are nearly popping out due to my not being able to button it completely."This bastard," I growl, considering changing. "This was intentional.""What was?"Gasping, I whirl around to find Fineon standing in the doorway, staring me down with quickly darkening eyes."Why are you up?" I demand, surging forward. "You’re supposed to be resting; go, go.""But then I would have missed the sight," Fineon chuckles. "I have to admit it looks good."Blushing, I try to ignore the sudden feeling of desire that flares through me. Fineon was a patient right now; I couldn’t do somethin
[Fineon’s POV]Fallon’s face flushes a beautiful pink as the words leave her lips. I wasn’t quite sure what reward she was speaking of initially, but when I see her like this, I get the feeling I know."Please," I smirk, flipping over so that I’m lying on my back. "I think I’ve passed your test."Biting her lip, Fallon slowly climbs onto the bed and then straddles my waist so that her soaked slit is touching my dick.Even though she had acted so boldly before, it was clear that she was nervous about being the one to take the initiative between us."Go on," I urge, sliding my hands up her thighs and giving her a squeeze. "Or do you want me to...""No!" Fallon gasps. "You’re a patient; you can’t exert yourself."Her voice is stern, but her expression is still unsure."Then why don’t you do all the work, hm?" I beam, moving my hips just enough so that the tip of my dick penetrates her core.Whimpering, Fallon lowers herself, taking the lead while I stay in place. Once she’s buried me com
[Hindrick’s POV]I remain in place, leaning against the wall across from the meeting room where Fineon is revealing everything to everyone except the person that matters the most.Originally, I had come back to let Uncle Ramone and Angles know that the ships were ready for departure, but I didn’t know I would find myself eavesdropping on something so interesting.Tonitrum still existed; that was pretty shocking, but what was even more shocking was the fact that Fineon was the alpha heir. No wonder he possessed so much power; he wasn’t some normal wolf.‘What will you do with this information?’ Apollo asks. ‘Will you accept him as Fallon’s mate with open arms?’‘Does it even matter?’Did my wolf keep forgetting that, as of now, I only had five more years to live? What was the point of worrying about such little things? This was between Fineon and Fallon; it had absolutely nothing to do with me.‘But he is going to leave her alone,’ Apollo points out. ‘Doesn’t that involve you as it wil
[Fineon’s POV]"Don’t tell Fallon anything of this," I sigh, realizing that I had no choice but to go along with Hindrick. "She already has enough to worry about. I don’t want to make her feel like she needs to make a decision in regards to becoming her father’s predecessor.""Do you doubt her ability to handle stressful situations?" Hindrick asks, raising a brow. "She really isn’t as fragile as all of you think.""Maybe not," I agree. "But she is under enough pressure from her family and those around her to become the alpha of Fire Rose. If she were to know that there was the possibility of me bringing my old pack back together, she would feel torn between Fire Rose and me. I don’t want to do that to her.""So you’re just going to drag it out until you can’t hide it anymore?" Hindrick pushes. "Your way of thinking makes no sense to me.""It doesn’t have to make sense," I chuckle. "In the end, this is my head and my conscience, and this is my problem to deal with as it comes.""So you
[Fineon’s POV]I sat at a long table, staring at some of the most powerful people to have been born. If this congregation had happened at any other time, I truly would have felt blessed to have this opportunity, but given the situation that led to it, I only felt a horrible sense of unease and foreboding.Now that we had gathered our army, it was time to come up with a strategic plan of attack so that we had a better chance at winning this war.Obviously, all of us attacking from the same point wasn’t an ideal course of action since the enemy could be lying in wait anywhere. The best thing we could do given the amount of manpower we had was to attack from all ends and meet up in the middle of Fulgor to deal the final blow.So far, we had spent the last few hours discussing this, and now it was just a matter of deciding which group would take what end.Finally, things were beginning to fall into place with this war. Since the beginning, it seemed like we wouldn’t get to this point give
[Fallon’s POV]Hot water runs down my skin, washing away the worry that I feel over what is to come tomorrow. All I can hope is that Fineon and the others manage to come up with a decent plan of attack so that things go smoothly and we avoid any casualties.Although I had wanted to be present for this discussion, Fineon insisted on letting him handle it. At first, I wanted to argue and be stubborn, but in the end, I decided that this would be a good way to show him that I trusted him and his judgment.Letting out a sigh, I reach down and turn off the water so that I can air dry for a few moments before stepping out of the shower.The meeting should be over by now, right? So wouldn’t it be best if I was out and waiting for Fineon to tell him good job? It would be the perfect way to show him my respect and appreciation for him, right?Smiling, I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around me while eyeing the clothes I picked out to wear to bed."Hm, maybe I’ll save those for later," I
