[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 do
[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
[Fineon’s POV]The next morning, I stand alone, examining the mountain range that we will soon be approaching. Some would say that it was a fool's errand given the conditions there, but if our enemy and his men managed to survive, then I was certain that we would manage to survive as well. All we re
[Fallon’s POV]‘THERE’S AN AVALANCHE! FIND SHELTER NOW!’Fineon’s voice rings in my head, turning my blood to ice as my eyes take in the wave of snow that is quickly crashing towards us and towards where he is still located within the mountains.‘GET BEHIND THE ROCKS!’ I roar, spurring my team into
[Fallon’s POV]True fear begins to bubble up in me as I stare down at Fineon’s unmoving form. This had to be a nightmare that I was going to wake up from at any minute, right? How could it be possible that he would leave me before even getting the chance to prove himself?Biting my tongue, I find th
[Fineon’s POV]‘....wake up…’The soft voice reaches me through the darkness that I’m consumed by. Something about that voice causes my heart to soar, and warmth begins to radiate through me.Groaning, I try to pry my eyes open but find that they feel like they weigh a ton.Shit, what exactly happen
[Fallon's POV]Both fear and anticipation begin to thrum through me as I feel the shift in Fineon's aura. Where there once was hesitancy and hope, there is now an all-out excitement over the prospect of our future, and despite knowing I should continue to be cautious, I find myself getting sucked up
[Fallon's POV]My eyes widen in shock as, once again, the desire to go to the one that Artemis craved hits me.How was it possible that I felt such a similar draw to him as I did to Fineon? No, there was no way that this was actually happening!'W-who…' I whimper, not quite trusting in my own feelin
"Life doesn’t work that way, sis," I sigh, forcing a smile. "And once I graduate from the academy, I plan on joining Uncle Elleric’s forces, so I won’t have time to think about things like love." "So you’re going to follow behind her," Fallon murmurs, not seeming pleased at all. "You’re going to fo
[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 requi
"Hindrick," Heather growls, coming to Utica’s defense. "I’m sure there was a reason that she did it. Why do you always have to be so nasty with anyone who isn’t Fallon?"Flinching, I keep my expression neutral while Heather’s glare burns daggers into me."Did you know?" I ask. "Or are you going to c
[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
"He…" Fineon sighs, his frustration returning. "Gave me an earful about going off like this during such an important time for you."So dad was thinking about the upcoming alpha ceremony that I would be completing. That was kind of him, but I didn’t want him to guilt Fineon into thinking that he need
[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 wa
"Dad." For the second time that day, everyone was left in shock as a voice that we weren’t sure we would ever hear again reached our ears. "Leave Callie alone," Idris continues, joining Fallon to protect her. "Think of what Cyrus would want and get your shit together!" "Idris," Gale sobs, attacki
[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 parent
Growing quiet, Fineon lifts his gaze in time for the light to explode out of Mount Malum, erasing the dark clouds that remained in the sky above and allowing a brilliant blue to peek through."It’s magic," I murmur, feeling the warmth of it pressing against my skin. "Do you think it is Mateo’s final
