[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 lengt
Moaning, Fallon does as I say, lifting onto her knees and spreading her legs so I have the perfect view of her dripping pussy.Positioning myself, I rub my dick along her clit, getting it nice and soaked, then sliding straight in.Gasping, Fallon’s hands clamp onto the sheet beneath us as I begin to
[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
"Make it sure," he finally concedes. "She is scheduled to give a reading later this evening and needs to be at her best.""Of course."With that, Mateo offers me an arm, which I happily take."Then shall we?" he beams, sending my heart into a panic. "Lead the way.""Sure."Outside, the sun is high i
[Fineon’s POV]I watch Fallon’s sleeping form beside me and find myself wishing that I could keep her feeling this safe beside me for forever, but first there were things that needed to be done. Only once everything was settled could I have my promised future with my mate.Leaning down, I give her c
"Should I take your silence as an agreement?""Not necessarily," I admit. "But something tells me if I even attempt to go to Grishan without your permission, I’ll be locked up somewhere.""So you do know me well.""Of course."In the moment, things were almost like back in the day when I hadn’t comp
[Fineon’s POV]I watch in horror as blood begins to pool around Fallon from the spot on her stomach and her lips. I wasn’t sure what was happening, but I knew it had something to do with Mateo."Hey!" I yell, getting the big brute’s attention. "We’ve got a problem!"Immediately, the big brute appear
Closing my eyes, I begin to let my consciousness slip into Fallon’s, working my way past the darkness that she is currently drifting in and out of until I can make out two blurry figures.‘There,’ I murmur, pressing harder while one figure slowly gets up from the ground and the other simply remains
"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
