[Fineon’s POV]

I stare down at Fallon’s pain-filled face and find myself at a loss. Even though she herself was insisting on burning the mark that marred her skin, I still couldn’t bring myself to agree to it. Maybe if she had her wolf still, this choice would be easier, but as nothing more than a human, she wouldn’t be able to heal quickly.

"There has to be another way."

The only option couldn’t have possibly been burning it off, right? Wasn’t this a curse like the one that Armia set? If so, did that mean that it could be broken with Mateo’s blood?

"The only other option is cutting the skin off," Tyson responds.

Cutting off her skin... I didn’t know which was worse, cutting or burning. Both would leave Fallon in an insurmountable amount of pain.

"Something that doesn’t involve risking her life," I snap. "Can’t we simply break whatever spell this is?"

"Spell?" Tyson repeats in confusion. "What makes you think that this is a spell?"

"Because it is, isn’t it?"

    [Hindrick’s POV]The world around me faded in and out. I could tell that I was being moved around, but I wasn’t exactly sure where I was being taken. Not that it mattered. The only thing that mattered to me was finding Fallon and making sure she was okay.Feeling my heart do a somersault, I tried to fight against the heaviness that was weighing my body down."Fal…" I rasp, but stop as a coughing fit hits me.Instantly, I feel pressure against my neck, followed by the feeling of warmth seeping from it into my body."Quit being stubborn and let me treat you."Uncle Ramone’s voice washes over me, stopping all my actions.I was back in Langley. Did that mean that the others were as well?Another wave of worry hits me, spurring me to finally manage to pry my eyes open to find Uncle Ramone and Tyson standing over me with looks of relief on their faces."Where?" I rasp, wanting to make sure that we are actually back home."Langley," Uncle Ramone confirms. "You’re in the palace’s infirmary."

    [Hindrick’s POV]I continued to take in Fallon’s devastated face for another minute before releasing her chin and getting to my feet."I’m leaving," I announce, turning my attention to Uncle Ramone. "Now.""What?" he gasps as I maneuver my way around Fallon and Fineon. "Where do you think you’re going? You still have to...""I’m going to Grishan to speak with Elleric about getting an army together to join our own, and then I’m heading to Fulgor Island."As I spoke, I could hear Uncle Ramone following close behind me. From the sounds of annoyance he was releasing, I knew he didn’t approve of my decision, but I truly didn’t give a damn."Are you trying to die before you can take over Langley?" he growls, falling into step beside me. "If you interfere with my plans for retirement, I’ll bring you back to life and kill you myself.""Retirement," I huff, rolling my eyes. "I don’t remember agreeing to be your successor."I supposed now was as good a time as any to voice what I wanted in rega

    [Fallon’s POV]"Hindrick!" I gasp, attempting to get up as he disappears out of the infirmary. "Don’t!""Fallon," Fineon murmurs, gently shaking his head. "Let him go."Go… Why was it that that word sounded so final when it involved Hindrick? Was it because of what he had told me the day before when he revealed how he felt, or was it because I knew that no matter what I said or did, he wouldn’t stay by my side anymore?"Okay," I whisper, feeling defeated. "But will he be okay?""Of course he will," Fineon assures me. "But you won’t if you don’t get some more rest.""Rest," I huff, feeling my annoyance flare. "I’ve already rested so much that I’m bored of it.""That’s too bad," Tyson chuckles, coming to join us. "With your current condition, rest is what your body needs."Shivering, I let my eyes travel down to my stomach, where Mateo’s mark once sat to control me. Since I currently didn’t have Artemis, it was slowly healing along with my injuries from my encounter with the sirens. And

    [Fineon’s POV]I stare up at Fire Rose’s packhouse while my determination begins to build. Beside me, I can feel Fallon fidgeting with nerves, and it actually helps me feel more at peace about my decision."You’re acting like you’re the one that is about to go up against a giant," I chuckle, reaching out and ruffling her hair."Are you sure this is necessary?"Letting out a sigh, I simply nod.When she asked me the same thing the night before, I also made it clear that this needed to happen. If I ever wanted to have a peaceful life with Fallon, I had to get the big brute’s approval. Once I had that, I would work toward winning over the twins as well, but I could only handle one battle at a time."Come on," I sigh, beginning to head toward the pack house’s entrance. "It’s better to just deal with your problems head-on, right?""But what if he kills you?" Fallon demands, shooting me a glare. "Dad’s a Neanderthal that only thinks with his fists.""Are you doubting my strength?" I counter

"What the hell are you even thinking?""Whoever is to stand beside you needs to be able to handle this much, don’t you think?" he counters, keeping his gaze fixed on Fineon’s. "You aren’t an ordinary wolf. You’re the future alpha of Fire Rose, and your partner needs to be able to help protect the pack by your side.""Which he can!" I snap, remembering his fight with Hindrick. "He’s…""I agree." Snapping my mouth shut, I shoot Fineon a glare. "If that is what it takes, then I accept your conditions.""I don’t need you," Cyrus counters, joining me in arguing about dad’s condition. "He will be nothing but a hindrance.""That is to be determined," dad responds. "That is my condition, and I expect to see good results."He finishes speaking and turns, heading back into his office while Cyrus continues to glare at us. From the twitch of his jaw, I know that he wants to argue more, but not even he was willing to go against wha

    [Fineon’s POV]A whimper of anticipation escapes Fallon at my words, and I have to fight the urge to fuck her right here and now. I couldn’t give in until she told me exactly what she was keeping to herself. Once she did…well… we would see what happened then.Maybe I wouldn’t be going to these lengths if she hadn’t looked so lost and confused earlier, but it really pissed me off that she didn’t trust me enough to open up to me."Are you actually enjoying this?" I ask, slowly running my finger along her soaked slit. "You’re a really dirty girl; did you know that?""Maybe," she responds, causing my control to want to waver again. "Are you saying that you don’t like it?"Didn’t like it? Was she fucking kidding? Knowing that she became like this just for me really drove me mad."That’s irrelevant," I chuckle, parting her lips.Using my middle finger, I begin to rub Fallon’s clit while mewls of pleasure escape her lips, and even though I wished they were louder, I had to remember that her

    [Anika’s POV]I look around at the familiar room that I was raised in by the elders. Why was I here, and what happened before I got here? Everything was foggy aside from the feel of Mateo all around me.Standing, I slowly begin to make my way out of the room, stopping long enough to peek out at the hall, which is currently empty. Deciding it was safe, I continued on.As I moved, I could hear hints of commotion just below me. Instantly, I remembered exactly what was happening. This was when Mateo first came to visit to discuss a peace treaty between the Felix pack, my old pack, and Tonitrum.Feeling my heart rate kick up, I started to move, taking the stairs two at a time until my eyes found Mateo standing with Elder Andrews.As they heard my approach, they both turned and took me in as I grew closer."Anika?" Elder Andrews gasps. "Why are you..."Anything else he may have said disappears as mine and Mateo’s eyes meet and that electric shock from our bond zips through my skin. It was

Only once everything was settled could I have my promised future with my mate.Leaning down, I give her cheek a quick kiss before quietly getting out of bed. After finding my clothes and pulling them on, I make my way out of the room and head toward the big brute’s office.Even though I really don’t want to have to face him again knowing that he wasn’t thrilled with me for demanding to have his daughter, there was something that was still bugging me.If Mateo’s current condition was due to the fact that he thought that his mate had killed herself along with his child, maybe if we proved to him that wasn’t true, it would make a difference. Maybe it was a long shot, but by this point, I would go with whatever hunch I had.Sucking in a breath, I knock on the big brute’s office door, where he seem

    [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

"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.

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

    [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

    [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

    [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

    [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

"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.

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
