All Chapters of Alpha Fallon And The Broken Bond: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

[Fallon’s POV]The world around me fades in and out as I feel myself being carried. I wasn’t quite sure what it was that Mateo did to me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move and I couldn’t seem to focus. All I could do was helplessly be taken along wherever it was that I was being taken."Don’t worry," Mateo announces as if he can read my thoughts. "I won’t hurt you."That actually wasn’t my concern at all. I had faith that my companions would find me and save me. What I was worried about was once again being a burden and a bother. It seemed that all I had done since Mateo came crashing into my life was fuck up and get myself into trouble again and again.Feeling a wave of defeat crash into me, I can’t help but wonder if I was even meant to take over for my father one day. If this was all I was doing to those who weren’t beneath me, what would happen to those who were?‘Don’t let yourself get wrapped up in pity,’ Anika warns. ‘You have to be strong when it comes to war.’I

[Fineon’s POV]I watch with wide eyes as Nix’s soldiers work to put out all the irritating flame pests and then the wall of fire that is keeping me from Fallon. Once they’re finished, Geraldo makes his way forward and places a hand on my shoulder."Why are you just standing here?" he asks, eyeing me curiously. "We’ve taken care of the problem for you; shouldn’t you get moving?"‘About that,’ I begin, taking in the crevice in front of me. ‘I’m not sure if I am capable of jumping this far.’"Then how about I make it easier?"Frowning, I watch as Geraldo places his palms against the ground and falls into a deep concentration. At first, I’m not sure what it is that he is attempting to accomplish, but when a large root erupts from the ground and begins to snake its way across the crevice, I understand."This should do, right?" he asks, standing up once again. "Or are you incapable of balancing properly?"‘I can,’ I snap, bristling. ‘Thank you for this.’"It’s the least I can do," he respon

[Fallon’s POV]"What the hell is this?" Anita demands, looking around the room. "What is that?""Mount Malum!" I yell. "It’s going to erupt!"Dammit! While I was watching what was happening with Fineon, Mateo had managed to draw enough blood to trigger the curse that would trigger Mount Malum to erupt. The only way to stop this was to kill Mateo."Anita!" I call, drawing her attention away from Mateo. "I need you to free me!""What?" she says, seeming confused until she notices the cuffs on me. "Oh, right. Coming!"It doesn’t take long for her to completely undo my bindings so that I can jump to my feet and look around for Mateo, who is still laughing wildly on the floor."Anita," I say, drawing her attention. "You and your warriors try to keep him here.""Where are you planning to go?" she asks, eyeing me suspiciously."I’m going to help Fineon!"I don’t wait for Anita to respond before I’m running out of the room and down the hall toward the stairwell that would lead to the bottom f

[Anika’s POV]Pain rips through my chest with every inch the anima sword makes through Mateo’s body. 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

[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
