[Fineon’s POV]Later, I sat alone in the room that I always used to stay in when I came to visit Elleric and Andria. From the other side of the wall, I could hear giggling and felt a tinge of annoyance towards it, knowing that the person I wanted beside me the most right now was there with my irrita
[Fallon’s POV]"Well?" Fineon asks from beside me. I can feel his eyes on me, waiting for my reaction. "What do you think?"What did I think? I wasn’t quite sure! Of all the things I expected to be shown, this most certainly wasn’t one of them."What is this?"It’s the only thing I can truly think a
[Fallon’s POV] "Who are you?" Confusion laced with an odd sense of recognition begins to flow through me as the figure continues to take form. Soon, a beautiful woman with flowing silver hair and almost translucent skin stands before me. Her eyes, which examine me closely, are the same color as th
[Anika’s POV]I keep my eyes on the strange man, whose body is half submerged in the pool of tranquility. Who was he, and why was he even here?"Who are you?" I ask, raising a brow. "Are you a spy?"Immediately, I go on defense as Titiana lets out a laugh."He isn’t your enemy." She announces. "If a
[Fineon’s POV]Pain rips through me as I take in the words that Titiana is saying. However, before I get the opportunity to let myself drown in them, Fallon collapses."Hey!" I gasp, catching her before she hit the ground. "What the hell?""Anika is out of energy and unable to keep control," Titiana
[Fineon’s POV]I could feel a wave of power press against my skin as Parker decided to take on my threat. Even though it was weaker than before, I still found myself struggling to not buckle under its weight. This bastard truly was strong, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt about whether
[Fineon’s POV]The world around me faded in and out, giving me only tiny glimpses of the fighting that was going on around me. From what I heard in between waves of agonizing pain, it sounded like the two were handling the threat well."Great," I sigh, letting myself get sucked under again.When I c
[Fineon’s POV]I watch my younger self leave the room and begin to move, following him into the living room, where both my parents are standing with looks of shock on their faces."Mommy?" young me calls. "Daddy, what’s wrong?""You have to hide," my mother responds quickly. "You and Andria both.""
"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
