Talia’s POV

The morning sun beat down on the training grounds, warm but not yet oppressive. Della stood beside me with a bow in hand.

“Focus, Talia,” she said, her tone smug as the string creaked. She released, and the arrow thudded just outside the painted ring. “Damn it.”

I chuckled and pulled my own arrow from the quiver. “You’re supposed to be teaching me, not missing on purpose.”

“Shut up. That was wind,” Della argued.

I laughed under my breath. I lifted my bow and tried to copy her stance

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY FIVE

    Talia’s POV“I have already handled the rogue attacks on my territory,” Kent explained. “I will manage the restoration of my pack myself. I see no need to trouble the Alpha King with what is properly my own concern. I am sure there are other packs that will require your aid more than I.”Henry turned to Kent, surprise etched across his face. Landon’s jaw flexed, and his nose flared in anger. Solon shot a worried glance at me. The other Alphas all looked visibly agitated. We were all thinking the same thing. The silent accusation was simple.Traitor.Kent must think we were fools if he thought we would believe a wolfless Alpha of a small pack could repel a rogue attack the same size that nearly crippled Lonefur and almost killed its Alpha. Even if he was no longer loyal to my father, it made no sense to refuse help. Refusal would only bring more attention unless the rogue attack never happened. Suddenly, the idea of Kent working for his own gain, playing both sides for reasons we coul

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY FOUR

    Talia’s POVI watched Jason walk between the guards out of the hall. Anger rose in my throat as he smugly left. My hands gripped the arms of my chair so hard that I was splintering the wood. Nolan put his hand over mine, and through the mind link, he said, ‘Talia, don’t give him the satisfaction of seeing you lose your composure.’‘He waltzed into Silverfang like he owned the place. Goddess knows what happened to our warriors for him to be able to get in without us being alerted,’ I responded angrily.‘I know. We will deal with it,’ Nolan said. ‘It is better to let him think he has the upper hand now. We don’t need your father having a relapse in front of everyone.’ He ran his thumb across the back of my hand. I took a deep breath, exhaling through my nose a couple of times to let my anger subside. My father raised his hand from the front of the stage, and the hall quieted. The Alphas stopped murmuring.“Alphas, I owe you an apology for the disturbance that has just passed through thi

    Jason’s POVI killed the last guard outside the hall and wiped the blade clean on his sleeve. Kent's torch lifted twice in the window above me. I grinned. It was the signal I had been waiting for.I walked the path to the great doors. The doors began to open as I came up to them. I stepped through into the hall. The whispers started as soon as they saw me, sharp and shocked.My wolf was on edge and so was I. It was risky coming here. The hall was full of Alphas, and if they decided to attack me, I could take some of them down, but I would not make it out alive. The trick was reading the room before the room read me. I scanned the faces in the front rows and saw exactly what I needed to see. Confusion. Hesitation. No one wanted to make a move. No one would dare harm me with me being backed by the Rogue King.I looked at the stage and froze. The Alpha King stood there, staring back at me. This was wrong. He was supposed to be on his deathbed. The reports had said he was bedridden, barel

    Talia's POVNolan and I reached the receiving hall right at sunrise. The first of the visiting Alphas were already there, gathered in twos and threes along the side aisles. I worked the line with Nolan half a step behind me, greeting and welcoming each Alpha and Luna.“Welcome Alpha Kent. It is a pleasure for you to be here again,” I told him, but Kent didn’t respond. He continued staring out the window. My wolf bristled at his rude behavior, but it didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to take the bait. My family had done nothing to Kent. He was becoming an enemy for unfounded reasons and I would not be lenient with him once this backfires in his face. ‘He has not spoken to a single Alpha since we came in,’ Nolan said through the mind link. ‘He is waiting for something.’“The Alpha King has arrived,” one of the guards near the main doors announced. Everyone turned as the main doors to the hall opened.My father strolled into the room. Solon walked a half step behind one shoulder. Leslie wal

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY ONE

    Nolan’s POVI checked the guard rotation with the captain at the east gate, then walked the perimeter a second time. They were as tight as one night's notice allowed. ‘Worrying will not help the situation. We have done what we can,’ my wolf reassured me but I couldn’t help it. I needed to make sure everything was close to perfect. I refused to allow anything to happen to Talia and Silverfang. Derek and Marco waited for me by the inner courtyard when I came back from walking the perimeter. “Everything up to your standard?” Derek questioned. He had always complimented my defenses even though back then I refused to listen to any of his compliments due to misguided anger for my father’s death.“Yes, huge improvements since the last time I was here,” I responded. “Did Marco debrief you?”“Yes, our warriors will keep an eye on Kent,” Derek answered.“That is not enough. From the moment Kent arrives tomorrow and until he leaves, I want you both monitoring him,” I explained. “I want to kn

    Talia’s POV“Dad, what are you doing?” I asked. “You should be resting in bed.” I had not expected him to get out of bed let alone move so swiftly that we did not hear him.“Talia, do not try to change the topic,” my father responded coldly. The lines around his mouth had deepened with the strain of holding back a cough. "We were only going over the preparations for the Harvest Gathering," Solon said. I nodded, not expecting Solon to lie so easily; however, we didn’t need to stress out our father by telling him about Kent. My father did not answer right away. He looked at me, and then at Solon, and then back at me, and when he finally spoke his voice was very calm, which was always how he sounded when he was deeply displeased."Do not lie to me, Solon. And you, Talia, I am disappointed in you."“What did I do?”“You’re supporting his lie.”Colin shifted beside him and said, “We already heard most of what you two were saying. You didn’t close the door all the way."I face palmed and
