Talia’s POV

I sat in the quiet garden, the last of the day’s sunlight soft against my shoulders. A pack management book rested in my lap. Solon had recommended it, insisting it would sharpen my leadership skills.

“I have enough leadership skills as a Luna,” I told him.

“Yes, to a pack that used you as an event planner. This is different. Just read the book, Talia,” Solon stated, ruffling my hair.

“Fine,” I pouted.

Solon was right about the book. I had only finished the first chapter and felt li

    Talia’s POVI lifted my father up and turned his head to allow the blood to rush out of his mouth to keep him choking. The convulsions stopped but he was still coughing."What is happening?!" I exclaimed.“Talia, move!” Della called and snatched me out of the way as Leslie and healers rushed into the room. My father was unconscious before the coughing stopped. He was struggling to breathe as he was still choking on his blood that had now stained his lips black.Leslie checked his pulse and her jaw tightened."Purification agent, now," she ordered to the healer behind her. "We need to flush the compound out."The healer moved immediately. Leslie stepped back just far enough to give him room to work and stood with her arms crossed. She did not look at me or Della.When the healer stepped back Leslie examined my father again. She checked his pulse a second time and straightened slowly."Damn it," Leslie growled."What? What is wrong? Tell me what is going on," I begged."His body is not

    Talia’s POV"Go," I told Nolan.Nolan looked at me once and said, "Stay inside the palace walls until I send word."I nodded and said, "I will go to the hospital with Della, and we will see what Leslie needs.”Nolan was out the door before I finished speaking and I heard him calling for Solon in the corridor.I found Della in her room two doors down. She was already dressed and putting on armor. She had clearly heard the commotion.“Don’t bother with that,” I told her. “We’re going to the hospital.”“We’re not going to help them?” Della asked.“No. They’ll handle it. We need to help Leslie, but first we need to get all the books on blood-based treatments and wolf healing we can find,” I explained."I know where they keep the older records and it is not in the library,” Della said. "Give me ten minutes." She was back in eight with four volumes.We moved quickly through the palace and out toward the hospital. I could hear the border response clearly. There were shouts, guttural screams

    Talia’s POVI was forcing myself to eat my oatmeal when Della rushed into the dining room. The door slammed into the wall, causing me to jump.“Della! You’re going to put another hole in the wall,” I scolded.“Forget the wall. You have a letter from Alpha Colin. He personally sent a guard to deliver it,” Della said as she walked over and offered the letter.I took the letter from her and read it. Then, I read it twice. They had found Jason.I jumped up, knocking over my glass spilling juice everywhere. “Woah! What did it say?” Della asked. I didn’t answer her as I ran to my office and called Alpha Colin. As soon as he picked up, I blurted out, “Tell me it is true.”“Who is this? Talia?”“Tell me you’re certain that you found Jason,” I repeated."I am certain," Colin replied. "My guards saw him at the border last night. He was wearing a disguise, but it was him. We confirmed his scent on the mask he was wearing.”Relief washed over me. It had been weeks and no news until now. I hated t

    Jason’s POVThe scent of them became stronger as I knew they had found me. Green eyes became visible one by one as they approached from the shadows. There were seven of them stalking towards me.‘Stay on your guard,’ my wolf warned.“What is a former Alpha like you doing out here?” one of them taunted.“Stay out of my way,” I said firmly and they only laughed."Silverfang's most wanted," another taunted. He was stocky, had a crooked nose, and was missing part of his left ear. I knew him instantly from one of the rogues I had repelled. "Word travels fast. There is a reward out for you. Enough to keep a wolf comfortable for a long time."Another one laughed. "Comfortable. He means enough to buy a territory.""Hand yourself over," the first one ordered. "Make it easy and we will not rough you up too badly before we deliver you."I felt my fury building inside of me. It had been building for weeks now. Being hunted was one thing. Allowing rogues to laugh about the price on my head was ano

    Jason’s POVI had been moving for four days when I reached the edge of Moonbrook's territory.My father's directions had been correct. The Rogue King's stronghold lay northwest of Moonbrook, deep into terrain most wolves avoided. Cold, damp, difficult ground where the trees grew close. It was not a comfortable place to build a stronghold. That was exactly why the Rogue King had chosen it.I had two routes. I could go the long way and skirt past Moonbrook entirely. It would add two additional days to the journey, but it was safer than the other route. The other route was to cut straight through Colin's territory.‘Through,’ my wolf suggested. "We go through his pack territory.’‘Have you lost your mind? That is suicide if we get caught,’ I said.‘We are wounded and slowing down. Two more days is two days we do not have,’ my wolf reasoned. He was right. My shoulder wound had reopened. It was not fatal, but it could become fatal if I didn’t take care of it soon.‘Fine. We will go through

    Talia’s POVA week passed and Jason hadn’t been found yet.Every morning I woke up expecting to hear that one of the regional Alphas had caught Jason, but every morning I was disappointed. Where had he gone? Why couldn’t we find him? Every day felt too fast and too long all at the same time. This time there was nothing my wolf could say to reassure me.When I visited my father on the seventh day I noticed his hair. His hair, which had been dark for as long as I had known him, had begun to go white at the temples. Not grey, but a stark, drained white that was not there yesterday.Nolan and my father were talking casually as if Nolan had not seen my father aging in real time. “Solon told me the wall you had built is something to see,” my father said.“Yes, it was all Talia’s idea. They should hold for generations,” Nolan responded."I would like to see them," my father stated."You will," Nolan told him. "When you are out of this room and back on your feet, we will take you ourselves. T

Wolves from every territory were in their finest suits and ball gowns, while servants wove between them with trays of food and wine.At the head stood my father, the Alpha King. Even

    Talia’s POVThe 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
