[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 saw her, but I didn’t feel this strange fear of being rejected or the mind-blowing completion I felt with Fallon."If you’d like, I can say more." I offer when she continues to remain silent. "Especially if my response was satisfactory enough.""No," Fallon murmurs, tightening her hold on me. "That’s enough."Giving a smile, she leans forward and presses her mouth against me, then begins to move her hips once more, eliminating any further conversation.Groaning, I squeeze her ass and begin to move her quicker and quicker until I can feel myself about to cum once again.Using all my strength, I pull Fallon down on me, burying myself deep into her, as her walls begin to convulse around me an

[Fallon’s POV]With that, I knew that it was my time to escape.Not bothering to respond, I quickly turned and made my way into the bathroom. Quickly stripping off my clothes, I hopped into the bath and let my whole aching body submerge.Looking down, I once again took in the hickies that covered my skin along with the bruises from where Fineon’s fingers and teeth dug into me. Shit, how did I not notice any of these earlier on, and why weren’t they healing?Because your wolf is gone, a small voice in the back of my head murmurs.Feeling my heart constrict painfully, I reach out for Artemis, but she isn’t there."What happened to you?"Trying to ignore the shooting pain that I feel deep within my heart, I begin to wash myself.Once I’m finished, I get out and quickly change, then throw my hair up in a towel and make my way back into the room where I know Heather and possibly even Denise are waiting for me."Alright," I announce, pushing the bathroom door open. "Be gentle on..."No othe

[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 irritating nieces.After Elleric was finished announcing his discoveries, everyone was allowed to go their separate ways for the evening. Although Fallon and I had tried to be in the same room together, in the end we were separated to keep the peace, even if keeping that peace meant that I had to share my room with the one person that wanted to kill me the most right now.Letting out a huff, I examine the small balcony attached to my room and considered whether or not I could scale it and kidnap Fallon in the night."Whatever you’re thinking, forget it."Flinching, I turn my attention towards Cyrus as he exits the shower in nothing but a towel."Why are you half naked?" I demand, "I gave you thin

[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 the galaxy and seem to draw me into their depths. "Do you not recognize me, Anika?" She asks, seeming genuinely confused. "I’m not," I begin, trying to make sense of what is going on. "I’m not her." "Of course you are." The woman insists. "I have been feeling your energy for quite some time and have waited for you to come and visit me again." As I try to make sense of what is happening, Fineon appears, pulling me against him protectively. "What the hell were you thinking?" He growls, shaking me slightly. "Why would you just run headfirst into possible danger?" "Fineon?" I manage, keeping my gaze on the woman who is watching us with a confused look. "Why don’t you actually take everything

[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 responds. "And I’ve spent all my energy as well and must go."Even though I still have many questions in regards to what was said and what happened, I don’t argue. Instead, I simply nod and watch as Titiana disappears entirely.Once she is gone, I drop to my knees and cradle Fallon’s unmoving form against me.Staring down into her face, I feel my heart squeeze as Titiana’s words replay in my mind.This was my fault... I was the one who put all of this into motion because of my childish obsession with Gale. How was I supposed to look her in the eyes anymore? I was sure she heard everything and would most likely blame me once she woke up.‘Good job, dumb ass,’ Franz huffs in frustration. ‘I
