Talia’s POV

Sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned in my bed. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Viki’s smirk, remembered her lies, and felt the sting of how easily Jason had chosen her over me. She had faked a pregnancy with poison and manipulated. Now she would be dead before morning.

My wolf stirred within me. ‘You should not feel guilty about this,’ she reassured me. ‘Viki did this to herself. No one forced her to do what she did. She doesn’t deserve your pity.’

I pushed myself upright. I needed air. I stepped out of my room. The corridor was quiet. Outside, the night air was cool, carrying the scent of damp earth. I followed the familiar path toward my rose garden.

The moment I stepped into the garden, the sweet scent of roses hit me. The roses were in full bloom, each petal glistening with dew beneath the moonlight. Then, I noticed another scent.

“Father?” I whispered, my voice thin. “What are you doing out here?”

He was crouched near one of the bushes, carefully gathering p

    Nolan’s POVI hadn’t slept at all.Part of me did not feel right about sleeping while Talia was bound to the chair while the other part of me was fearful that she would break free and I would wake up to find myself deep inside of her.The night seemed to drag on forever. My wolf stalked inside me, restless and unsatisfied. He berated me, working on my resolve to push me to claim Talia, but I had more honor than that. I focused on calling out to Marco all night through the mindlink.When sunlight entered the room, Marco’s voice flooded my mind. ‘Alpha! I hear you. I’m on the way.’‘Hurry!’Marco burst in minutes later. His eyes swept the room and landed on her instantly. “What the hell happened?”“Did anyone see you?” I asked.“No,” Marco replied. “What happened? Why did she take off clothes?”“Look away,” I snarled at him and Marco turned away as I pulled my shirt off. I slipped it on her and said, “She went into heat. It was the full moon.”Marco turned back around. His eyes darted f

    Nolan’s POVMy hands slid down the curve of her body. I cupped her breasts, earning a gasp. I nipped at her neck, and she arched into me.‘This is what we were supposed to be doing. Do not deny it,’ my wolf growled.Talia clutched at me. She deepened the kiss. One of her legs was already wrapped around my waist. I sucked on her neck as I grinded into her. “Mark me. Please, mark me,” she begged me.For a brief second, I almost listened to her. All it would take was one bite, but clarity snapped me out of my lustful haze.If I marked her now, she’d wake up tomorrow with regret. She was in heat, half-lost to the bond. If I was to mark her, I wanted her to truly want me not to be driven by instinct because of the mate bond.“No!” I roared as I took control again. My Alpha aura flaring as I used the Alpha command against my wolf. He snarled as I shoved him back down. My body shook from the efforts.Talia flinched as my Alpha aura slammed into her, but then her eyes burned with anger. “I wo

    Nolan’s POV“Nolan,” Talia’s voice cracked as she leaned into me, her warmth pressing against mine. “Please… help me.”I attempted to pull my hand back, but her hand snatched open. She held on to me desperately. Her touch brought a shiver down my spine. I should have pulled away. Instead, I stayed and allowed her to move closer to me.All I could smell was her sweet rose scent tainted with the tangy sharpness of heat. My cock hardened almost instantly. I had never wanted a she-wolf as bad as I wanted Talia.My fangs began to lengthen as the instinct to mark her became stronger. My hands twitched with the urge to drag her closer and remove the rest of her clothes. Goddess, I wanted to taste the sweet nectar between her legs that had her scent so thick in this room.‘She acknowledges us! We must claim her as ours,’ my wolf said triumphantly.“No,” I snapped back at him in my mind. “Not like this. She doesn’t even understand what’s happening.”‘She doesn’t need to understand,’ my wolf co

    Talia’s POV“Damn it!”Nolan’s curse echoed in the cramped library. He shoved at the shelf again, but the panel didn’t budge. The jam was obvious now. Whatever mechanism kept the wall moving had slipped out of place.“Slamming into it isn’t going to fix it,” I said.“Do you have any other ideas?” Nolan snapped.“Hey, don’t let me stop you. Keep trying to brute force it. I’m sure that will work,” I shrugged.“Sarcasm isn’t becoming of you, Princess,” Nolan stated and turned his attention back on the shelf.Nolan tried again, pressing against the crest with deliberate force, but the wood shuddered and locked with the same dull thud. He continued muttering curses under his voice.I exhaled and turned away. “I’ll reach Solon.”I opened the mindlink and reached out, but there was only silence. I tried again, but still nothing. I reached out to Della, but I was still met with silence.“Nothing?” Nolan asked flatly.“Nothing,” I admitted.“Solon is out patrolling. He probably has up a mental

    Talia’s POVMy muscles were tense as I waited for the man to turn around. He was masking his scent, which was concerning, but all I had to do was mindlink the warriors and they would be here in seconds.‘You should’ve done that before we came in here,’ my wolf scolded.‘If we can’t defend our territory on our end, how do we expect Solon to rely on us?’ I countered.When the man finally turned, I froze. It was Nolan. He didn’t look startled at being caught. He looked like he had planned it all along, as if being discovered was part of his design.“How did you get in here?” I asked.Nolan set the binder in his hand on the table as though he were a polite guest. “I am here to read,” he responded smoothly.Did he think this was a game? His smirk suggested he did.“This is my father’s private library, Alpha Nolan,” I said through gritted teeth. “No outsider is allowed in here. You didn’t come to read.”“It is still a library,” he countered.“Cute,” I said. “Try again. What are you really d

    Nolan’s POVI laughed, and that gave Jason what he wanted to hear without giving him anything at all. He thought he had scored a point. He thought I agreed that Talia was beneath the cost of an alliance. He had no idea that his words were the loudest kind of stupidity.‘You should rip his tongue out for insulting our mate,’ my wolf growled.‘In time. Be patient,’ I hushed him.“Fair point,” I finally said. “An alliance is worth more than a low-ranked she-wolf.”Jason’s smile grew wider. He stepped closer. “That is what I respect about you,” he said, laying it on thick. “You are a strategist. You know when to focus on the bigger picture. I have been thinking about that bigger picture lately. I guessed you were investigating your father’s death. Everyone knows you are not here for the scenery. I want to help.”I did not respond. ‘Maybe he’s smarter than we thought,’ Marco growled through our mindlink.‘Don’t be fooled. He is still an arrogant idiot,’ I responded.Jason took my silence a
