[Fineon’s POV]I stare down into Fallon’s eyes, trying to determine if she is screwing with me or being serious. However, the minute her arms snake up around my neck and her nails dig into my skin, I know that she is feeling the same sense of hunger I am.Giving into instinct, I slam my mouth agains
[Fallon’s POV]"I’m the one that left that half mark on your daughter."The words ring out around me, leaving me wondering if I truly even heard them correctly. What in the world did Fineon even think he was doing?As I try to process his intentions, Dad moves, and his fist connects with Fineon’s no
[Fineon’s POV]"Lead the way."The words are quiet as they leave Fallon’s lips, and I can sense a slight bit of hesitation in them. I’m not exactly sure what I expected when I suggested we find somewhere to stay, but I’m relieved that she isn’t showing dislike for the idea of being alone with me for
[Fallon’s POV] "Then why are you just standing there?" I ask, slowly getting to my knees. "Come and show me." In way of response, Fineon pounces, pressing his mouth so hard against mine that my lip rips and the sweet taste of him mixes with the coppery taste of blood. Whimpering, I begin to lean
Nodding, he begins to move, slowly entering me bit by bit so that I can stretch a bit to accommodate him. "Still okay?" He asks when he is halfway there. "I’m not hurting you, am I?" "No," I respond, though it does hurt, but I didn’t want this to stop. I wanted him to make me wholly his. After all
[Fineon’s POV]I wait as Fallon processes what I’ve said. I can only hope that she will accept my response for now, as I was still getting used to these strange emotions I feel. They were nothing like what I felt towards Gale in the past. Sure, I felt burning jealousy and all-consuming desire when I
[Fineon’s POV]Hissing, I follow Andria out of the room while Heather laughs out loud due to her mother’s manhandling of me. Irritation flares, but I continue to let Andria lead me down a hall and into Elleric’s office.Once we’re inside, she releases me and locks the door before pulling down a meta
"Are you actually taking the big brute’s side over your brothers?" I gasp."Fallon is a good girl, and she has been through a lot." Andria reminds me. "She deserves only the best, and I do hope that with you by her side, she can overcome anything."As Andria speaks, she reaches out and squeezes my h
"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
